Basic Pycord Help

[hexed herald]

just ping me when I can help you!

[proven valley]

@hexed herald

I'm avaliable now if you are

[proven valley]

https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1280632359527645224

[hexed herald]

actually I can't write there

[proven valley]

the thread closed, that's fine. I just want to seperate my subcommands into seperate files, do you know how to do it with the plugin?

[hexed herald]

sure, first I've created a cog that's loaded before all other cogs to create a subgroup -> relevant if you want to use contexts
after that you just import pycord.multicog (I've imported it as pycog to have a shorter decorator
and then you prefix your normal slash command with

@pycog.subcommand("name_of_the_SlashCommandGroup")
@commands.slashcommand()
async def command():
    pass

if you do not want to use the command contexts, or other SlashCommandGroup features you can also add to the subcommand independent=True then it creates a command group with the given name for you

[proven valley]

currently in my subcommand decerator I'm doing subcommandground.command(...), you're saying I should use the pycog.subcommand and then just use the normal commands.slashcommand decerator?

[hexed herald]

could you show me your current code? the way I write is the only that I know

[sage tendon]

what they do is the normal pycord way

[hexed herald]

ohh, okay I just didn't understand it xD

[hexed herald]

yeah, using the pycog.subcommand decorator you can split the subcommands across files

[proven valley]

This is my subcommand file```py
import pycord.multicog as pycog
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import option
import discord.member
import Confirm
import aiosqlite

class mm1v1(commands.Cog):

@pycog.subcommand("mm")
@commands.slash_command(name="1v1", description="test")
async def command(self, ctx):
    pass ```

Then my main cog file that the command belongs to is setup like this,

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.pages import Paginator, Page
from discord import option
from pycord.multicog import Bot
import aiosqlite
import discord.member
import asyncio
import uuid

class MM(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self,bot):
        self.bot = Bot()
    mm = discord.SlashCommandGroup("mm", "test")```
The command currently isn't being loaded, what should I do different?

[little cobalt]

why self.bot = Bot()?

[proven valley]

Great question, a tutorial I was watch said to do it that way, I don't know enough to question it.

[tidal vessel]

You are creating a new instance of the Bot object

[proven valley]

So I should just get of that line then

[sage tendon]

you do self.bot = bot

[proven valley]

the reason I changed bot to Bot() is because multicog says to use it, it's subclass of discord.bot that supports splitting command groups into multiple cogs.

[little cobalt]

No, it does not say that

[proven valley]

i see my error now

[elfin inlet]

how do I make my choices a list of the channels in the server

choices=discord.ApplicationContext.guild.channels doesnt work

[little cobalt]

text channels?

[elfin inlet]

mhm

[little cobalt]

voice channels?

[little cobalt]

choices required a list of strings and got a limit of 25

[elfin inlet]

is that not a list?

the issue it had was this

[elfin inlet]

oh

so how do I fix it

I know im stupid just tell me so we can get it over with

[little cobalt]

I wonder which channel do you want

[elfin inlet]

I said yes to text channels

[little cobalt]

so

ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel

[elfin inlet]

...oh

guh

no

Here's the slash options example.

[elfin inlet]

oh I found the problem

[atomic fern]

how to handle DiscordServerError for task.loop? the task stopped if that exception occurs

[fresh sierra]

Using the decorator @tasks.error

[atomic fern]

wdym?

[opal swan]

@tasks.loop()
async def mytask():
   ...

@mytask.error
async def myerror():
   ...

I think a thing like that

[atomic fern]

tysm

i just need to restart the task? or stop/start

[opal swan]

start

[echo wraith]

Btw is there a reason for that?

[fresh sierra]

when there is an error the decorator willbe trigger and then it will continue to the next itinaration

so you can log the error, to a if insistance ... : pass else stop etc etc

its as u want

[fossil valve]

Anyone know why I can't access the embeds or content from a webhook message? It's all coming back as None, even though the webhook message contains an embed.

Code:

@Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message: discord.Message):
    if message.channel.id != ADMIN_CHANNEL_ID or not message.webhook_id:
        return
    target_channel = await self._get_deal_channel(message.channel)
    forwarded_message = await target_channel.send(
        content=message.content,
        embeds=message.embeds,
        files=message.attachments,
    )

[fresh sierra]

Does ur bot have message content intents ?

[echo wraith]

.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 
...
# 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)

[fossil valve]

no that should be the cause ty

[austere cliff]

how to code a callback function for a select menu

in discord.py

[lofty parcel]

Well this is pycord, mate

[austere cliff]

there is no discord.py place to go to

[lofty parcel]

Discord.py has a support server.

[austere cliff]

whats the diff

[lofty parcel]

Pycord is a different library.

[austere cliff]

syntax looks the same

[lofty parcel]

Because it is a fork of d.py.

[austere cliff]

ammmm

[lofty parcel]

From interactions and then the layout is different.

If you use d.py, join their server and ask there.

[austere cliff]

u have link?

[lofty parcel]

Google is free.

[austere cliff]

i dont think they have one

[lofty parcel]

Yes they do.

[little cobalt]

look at github

[austere cliff]

ty

[austere cliff]

found it

[deft kestrel]

if my laptop doesnt have wifi/Ethernet, the code can still send messages/webhooks?
probably not

[fresh sierra]

...

the code will just dont work

[lofty parcel]

Can you turn on a lamp if you cut the wire?

[deft kestrel]

yes if its with batteries

[lofty parcel]

A lamp with batteries doesn't have a wire to plug it in first off.

[deft kestrel]

yes it is if its rechargeable batteries

[lofty parcel]

Can you charge the batteries if you cut the charging cable?

[deft kestrel]

you got me
no ☹️

[echo wraith]

Is there a .tag explaining blocking code, apart from .tag rie

[fresh sierra]

as far as i know there's not

[echo wraith]

That would be nice

[shell radish]

.tag blocking

[sly karma]

Tag not found.

[echo wraith]

Like smth that gives an example with time.sleep vs asyncio.sleep and explains a bit the difference

[edgy nest]

[echo wraith]

Oh thanks

[tawny prism]

Does doing get_emoji on an application emoji not return the emoji, im trying to do a check if an emoji im getting from a list is animated or not but it just returns none if I use an application emoji id

the emoji is associated with my bot so i thought it would work

[tidal vessel]

application emojis is not yet in the stable version.

If you need to use emojis from your app, just copy the markdown

[tawny prism]

Yea i just needed a way to check if they were animated or not since im pulling them from a list, its being used for my userinfo command for badges

https://void.lunascape.gay/kN9Pcv
i came up with the jankiest solution ever though so

[tidal vessel]

Hmm, you can get the app emojis directly from the repository, but I think there may be bugs.

I'm not sure

[tawny prism]

Yea im not running latest commit rn, just latest stable.

idk discord is weird

[fresh sierra]

does someone has a small script to make the bot talk in voice ?, just to test if it works because none of my experiement works

(preference without anything to install)

[rugged lodge]

Here's the basic voice example.

[echo wraith]

wait no not that

[fresh sierra]

its good

found my issue

inside my decorator

i was doing
ctx.voice_client = ...

but i cant do that

is there a way for i can do that:

    @staticmethod
    def valid_music():
        async def wrapper(ctx: LumabotContext):
            if not ctx.author.voice:
                await ctx.respond(ctx.translator.music.error.not_connected)
            elif not ctx.voice_client:
                ctx.voice_client = await ctx.author.voice.channel.connect(
                    cls=wavelink.Player
                )
                return True
            elif ctx.author.voice.channel != ctx.voice_client.channel:
                await ctx.respond(ctx.translator.music.error.not_same_voice)

            else:
                return True

            return False

        return commands.check(wrapper)

[inner vessel]

I have a question, I removed some commands from my bot, why do they still exist in my discord channel?

[echo wraith]

it takes some time to sync, restart your discord, and this:

it's the opposite of

.tag slashnoshow

[sly karma]

Application Commands Not Showing Up?

• Refresh Discord by restarting or pressing Ctrl+R (or Command ⌘ + R)
• Uninstall libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py).
• Invite your bot with the application.commands scope.
• Load cogs before bot.run() (e.g. not in on_ready).
• Do not override on_connect.
• Update to the newest version of py-cord (see ?tag install).
• Turn off User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input.
• Share your code and errors.

[heavy inlet]

When to use get_x() and when to use fetch_x() (where x is just the placeholder of something like user, channel etc)?

[little cobalt]

I dont get the question

[heavy inlet]

when should I use fetch instead of get

[little cobalt]

uh

that is pretty rare when you only use fetch

you check for get_x if None and if None you use fetch_x

value = client.get_x()
if value == None:
  value = client.fetch_x()

you dont want to do every time a API call to Discord because of rate limits

[heavy inlet]

yeah, plus get retrieves data from the bot's cache, right?

[little cobalt]

get = tries to find the data at the Bot Cache

fetch = Does a API call to the discord API

[heavy inlet]

alr thanks for the help

[fluid storm]

How do you retrieve the user who interacted with the select menu?

async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"The selection that was made was {select.values[0]}")

I wish to say The selection that was made by {user} was {select.values[0]}

[lapis dock]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.user

[fluid storm]

thanks

[halcyon steppe]

hi, is there a way to somehow get the total number of user installs?

[sage tendon]

shows in the dev portal

[halcyon steppe]

yeah but is there a way to get it using the bot api? i want it for a stats command

[sage tendon]

not yet in pycord, but it does exist in the API

[halcyon steppe]

what's the endpoint for it?

[halcyon steppe]

thanks

[red mist]

Is it possible to disable a button on a message that is an ephemeral?

I tried this;

@ui.button(label="Cancel Deletion", custom_id="button-cancel-deletion-ticket", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
async def cancel_button_callback(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    button.disabled = True
    await interaction.message.edit(view=self)
    await interaction.response.send_message("Deletion cancelled!", ephemeral=True)

(even expanded the entire thing with an error log etc. and whenever I try to edit the latest message it says there was no message, so it raises a discord.NotFound)
So again, is this possible on a message that has view components but is an ephemeral?

(ping me if you respond)

[edgy nest]

use response.edit_message and send a followup instead of the other way around

[red mist]

thanks ^^

[ivory wind]

is there an example of making a custom help command that lists the bot's commands? i managed to do it but i feel like it's janky

[sage tendon]

show it

[ivory wind]

[rugged lodge]

[sage tendon]

i might be remembering wrong but doesnt the paginator come with navigation by default

[ivory wind]

i think the button colors weren't what i wanted

im in the middle of rewriting everything

[late slate]

I need some quick advice if you guys don't mind...

• I have a task loop scheduled to run every 30 min that acts as a "message queue processor". It essentially checks a database for queued messages and sends them to a 3rd party API.
• Each message has to be a separate API call, so I use a for loop to process all the messages. However, I only want to make these calls once every second to avoid overloading the API.
• I tried placing await asyncio.sleep(1) within the loop, which kinda works... But if a user calls a slash command with await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True) in it while this for loop is running I get the following error: discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction. I'm assuming this is because the bot is sleeping and not replying to Discord's request?

What would be the "proper" way to go about doing this?

[obsidian blaze]

#1130595287078015027 message

As per advaith it is documented and he made it seem it is intended to use. So it this something that could be added to pycord?

[proven valley]

I have a view setup to edit the embed of a message when you press a certain button, but it says interaction failed even though everything works fine, is there something I did wrong for it to be like that?

[tidal vessel]

Edit the message but it says the interaction failed?

[proven valley]

yeah

but the message gets edited

and all other logic carries out

[tidal vessel]

Did you use defer()?

[proven valley]

no, what's that?

[tidal vessel]

In simple terms, you are telling Discord to wait longer for the interaction to respond, sometimes it can take a little longer than 3 seconds for Discord to receive the interaction and discord says failed.

[proven valley]

I see, thank you.

would I just add that before the response?

or edit in my case

[tidal vessel]

At the start of the function that handles the button

[proven valley]

the specific interactioin I assume, so for each callback?

[tidal vessel]

If a view is used for multiple components you can use the interaction_check() event to simplify the process

Or you can put it in each callback if you prefer that

[proven valley]

okay, I'll give it a shot, thanks.

[undone shale]

Is there a way to, when I get a message, see what other users are in the channel?

I tried message.guild.members but it's only showing my bot in that list which is incorrect.

Do I need the members intent for that?

Ah yep, looks like that was it

[opal swan]

that's not correct, pls use all intents

[undone shale]

Uh... It is correct in that it works for me?

I don't need all intents

And it seems like bad practice to just... Add all of them in case I need a few of them

[sage tendon]

yes, it is correct. and no, you shouldn't request intents you don't need

[opal swan]

then he can use ctx.guild.members probably message.guild.members is bug

[sage tendon]

No.

You cannot access guild.members without members intents

e.g. itll only be the bot, or at most, the command user + the bot

[opal swan]

so he need to activate it.

(intents member)

[sage tendon]

he already did

he said that before you responded as well

[opal swan]

oh mb

so idk

[daring valve]

Is there any other way to send personal user messages except dm (dm can be closed)
Like send a message if they get banned, so they can see the ban reason

[proven valley]

is there a way to make it so that an element of my description for a slash command is pulled from a database?

[echo wraith]

You iterate over theese before running your bot and you can set the description and other thigns

[proven valley]

I see, I don't know if that would work, because it would have to change while the bot is running

[echo wraith]

That would be quite complex, how often do you need to change the descriptions?

[proven valley]

everytime a event in the queue gets moved up so like every 15-20 minutes or so

I don't need it tbh, but it would be cool

[echo wraith]

How many servers is the bot in?

[proven valley]

it'll only ever be in one

[echo wraith]

then, in your command you can set guild_ids=[your_quild_id] and use sync_commands after editing your command

I don't know if I mentioned that it's for a paramter of the applicaiton command not the description of the actual applicaiton command, I don't know if that changes anyhting

[echo wraith]

it shouldn't

[lapis dock]

You can try just passing waveform as a kwarg to sending a message but it might not work

You could also open an issue or PR so that is is more visible

[obsidian blaze]

Okay! Will do that later

[elfin inlet]

hey guys does defer() just extend the timer or does it count as a response

[sage tendon]

both, really

[elfin inlet]

I have a command that makes the bot say something via send (I dont want people to know who used it) and it works, but also always ends an ephemeral that says "application did not respond"

[sage tendon]

yea you still have to respond something to the actual interaction

and dont defer unless you really have to

[elfin inlet]

from what I read it extends by 15 minutes, which is good but if theres one that makes a response happen without a msg that would be best

[sage tendon]

not possible

[elfin inlet]

like I could always do ctx.respond("message sent successfully", ephemeral=True) but id rther not

[sage tendon]

you have to

and its better to give the user feedback

if i just sent a command and there was nothing in response i'd assume it failed
which is why discord is forcing a response

[elfin inlet]

but you get the feedback by seeing the bot sent the message

all it does is clutter the channel

[sage tendon]

it doesnt

since its ephemeral

[elfin inlet]

well it clutters for you until you dismiss it

its unecessary is all

maybe im nitpicking

guh

Looking for a method for my bot to get and run commands from other apps. Anyone got any ideas? TIA

Things I have tried (these are all in a commands.Cog context):

• self.bot.get_application_command() with both a name and/or ID
• Getting the other app's user with app = self.bot.get_or_fetch_user() then using app.get_application_command(), again with both a name and/or ID.

Hi, I'm trying to add a premium subscription using the API to my testing server.

I have this error : Erreur: 401, {"message": "401: Unauthorized", "code": 0}

import requests

url = f"https://discord.com/api/v10/applications/
964234492078350398/entitlements"

    "guild_id": 

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print("Test entitlement créé avec succès.")
else:
    print(f"Erreur: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

can anyone help ? thanks in advance

[torn barn]

Auth should be Bot {TOKEN_HERE}, are you following that structure?

[little cobalt]

Its way easier if you use client.login with a bot token

you dont need a running bot to use py-cord

[fresh sierra]

BOT, idk if the capital are important

[fresh sierra]

but yeah Unauthorized should be cos because of the missing BOT

[torn barn]

capital is important iirc

[lean garnet]

Thanks I edited this and with the help of some other peoples from Discord Devs server

import requests

url = "https://discord.com/api/v10/applications/964234492078350398/entitlements"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bot MyBotTokenHere",  
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

server_id = input("Entrez l'ID du serveur : ")
server_id = int(server_id)

data = {
    "sku_id": "1282072278582169641",  # ID du SKU premium
    "guild_id": server_id,  
    "owner_id": "1282090850804957294",  # me
    "owner_type": 1  # user 
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print("Test entitlement créé avec succès.")
else:
    print(f"Erreur: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

Now I have this error : Erreur: 400, {"message": "Unknown Guild", "code": 10004}.

[torn barn]

login needs to be awaited

[fresh sierra]

so its Bot and not BOT

[torn barn]

yh

[fresh sierra]

thanks for the clarification

[torn barn]

error explains itself

[torn barn]

np

[lean garnet]

"unknow guild" but I checked twice that it's my guild ID

[torn barn]

ids are strings

not ints

[lean garnet]

Ohh okay

[torn barn]

py-cord casts them to ints for better usage

[lean garnet]

still not

"guild_id": str(server_id),

[torn barn]

so why not just use py-cord as stated before

• create a discord.Client instance, no need for more
• create an async function:
  • call client.login() (needs await)
  • get or fetch the guild you want to create a test entitlement to
  • create test entitlement using guild.create_test_entitlement (needs await)
• call asyncio.run on async function

[errant trout]

if you're using the raw api, you would be better off asking in ddevs

[lean garnet]

yes

thanks yall it works now

[loud kayak]

That’s not true.

.jsk py
type(_author.id)

[sly karma]

<class 'int'>

[edgy nest]

discords sends them as strings to avoid overflows in some languages

[autumn narwhal]

why user can type another word in the autocomplete and use the command
like autocomplete return 1, 2, 3
but if user type 4 in the option
it can still normally to use the command

[little cobalt]

because its autocomplete

they can type anything they want into it

you have to check it at your own

[autumn narwhal]

ok... Alright thanks

[little cobalt]

its not like choices

but choices is a hard coded list what you cannot change without a bot restart

[edgy nest]

autocomplete is exactly that- auto complete

Any idea why this might be happening? My welcome command at the bottom calls "self._create_channel_selection_view":

callback = lambda i: self._handle_welcome_channel_selection(i, ctx)
            print("CALLED3")
            embed, view = await self._create_channel_selection_view(ctx, embed, callback)
            await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=view, ephemeral=False)

Here it is defined:

    async def _create_channel_selection_view(self, ctx, embed, callback):
        print("CALLED5")
        select = await self._get_text_channel_select(ctx)
        select.callback = callback

        view = discord.ui.View()
        view.add_item(select)

        return embed, view

self._create_channel_selection_view is called, yet after this point, the bot does not respond. and I do not see "called5"

[glad bone]

All the code works, but not when it is called with "self."

nice

un bot fr

[lean garnet]

ouii

[opal swan]

c'est un bot quoi

[lean garnet]

viens dm c'est pas le bon endroit pour parler de ça ici

[eternal kite]

do you have to await task.start() method rn? because it used to work fine back in a year

  File "C:\Developments\main.py", line 840, in <module>
    blockedtimeout.start()
  File "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\discord\ext\tasks\__init__.py", line 398, in start
    self._task = asyncio.create_task(self._loop(*args, **kwargs))
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\asyncio\tasks.py", line 371, in create_task
    loop = events.get_running_loop()
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RuntimeError: no running event loop
sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Loop._loop' was never awaited
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback```

[mighty garnet]

how do i send 2 embeds at once with a response

kindof like this

await interaction.respond(embed=[embed1, embed2])```

[eternal kite]

this is the code

@tasks.loop(seconds=2)
async def blockedtimeout():
  # some code

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(get_server_info())
blockedtimeout.start()
bot.run(key)

[eternal kite]

use embeds kwarg

[lapis dock]

^ just add a s

[mighty garnet]

thx

[eternal kite]

help

[sage tendon]

await it

[eternal kite]

i thought task.start() method does the thing for you?

its not an asynchronous method

[sage tendon]

oh wait
can you show your code

[eternal kite]

right here

[sage tendon]

ah
do you use cogs?

[eternal kite]

yeah

[sage tendon]

just put it in a cog then, and not your main file

and then start it from the __init__

[eternal kite]

oh let me try

bot.run too?

[sage tendon]

no lol

[lapis dock]

No, leave bot.runcwhere it is

[sage tendon]

if you use cogs, your main file ideally has nothing bu the bot setup + start, and on_ready, and cog loading

[eternal kite]

it raises new error rn, it says bot.load_extension is not awaited

[sage tendon]

do you use discord.py lol

[eternal kite]

no

[sage tendon]

hm
because discord.py's load_extension is async

can you show your entire main file

[eternal kite]

its really huge i'll clip some of it

[sage tendon]

just the cog loading really

[sage tendon]

(also i recommend just using the pypi package as requirement instead of the github unless you really need all in-dev features)

[lapis dock]

When, you have a second can you show this entire file

[little cobalt]

oh pls dont use the master branch as a requirements

[sage tendon]

already said :)

[eternal kite]

a bunch of imports here

extensions = ["cogs.maincog", "cogs.utilitiescog", "cogs.devcog"]

async def get_server_info():
    cluster = motor.motor_asyncio.AsyncIOMotorClient(db_url, serverSelectionTimeoutMS=5000)
    try:
        await cluster.server_info()
        print(" * Connected to the Database server.")
    except Exception:
        print("Unable to connect to the server.")

@tasks.loop(seconds=2)
async def blockedtimeout():
  # some code

if __name__ == '__main__':
    for extension in extensions:
        bot.load_extension(extension)
        print(f"Loaded {extension[5:].capitalize()} extension")
    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(get_server_info())
    blockedtimeout.start()
bot.run(key)

[little cobalt]

requests uh

[eternal kite]

thats a part of the bot feature

[little cobalt]

do you use a new runner for it?

[sage tendon]

requests is built in lol

[eternal kite]

is it? i dont remember lol this project used to work in about a year ago

i didnt touch anything and it's not working rn

[sage tendon]

either way first of all please replace the pycord dependency with py-cord==2.6.0 to make sure there isnt any issue with the master branch rn
and of course uninstall and reinstall py-cord accordingly

then we can look further

also you still didnt put this in a cog lol

[eternal kite]

oh wait, am i supposed to run it in a cog?

but the function is in my main.py file ._.

[sage tendon]

move it to a cog

you have cogs for a reason

[eternal kite]

is that the best practice? to run tasks in cogs

[sage tendon]

yes (imo)

[sage tendon]

as i said

[eternal kite]

my original code worked after i reinstalled py-cord in version 2.6.0 😂

also what are the factors that makes it longer for your bot to ready?

i kinda forgotten all these stuff

[lapis dock]

Loading members to the cache

I think you can disable this with the chunk_guilds_on_startup=False kwarg to bot

[eternal kite]

i do have this kwarg

but my bot is not readying

[lapis dock]

And logging in as a sharded bot but I dont think you can make this faster

[eternal kite]

wait i guess my bot isn't sharded

[lapis dock]

How many guilds is it in

[eternal kite]

it's probably not sharded its only in a few hundred servers i assume

i dont remember coding sharding system for the bot

[lapis dock]

Yeah sharding is recommended above 1000 guilds required at 2500. Under 1000 not recommended because it will actually slow things down

[eternal kite]

so there must be another reason that my bot is not readying

[lapis dock]

can you comment out, and see

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(get_server_info())

[eternal kite]

i figured out my bot's token has been reset for some reason and the error is only showing up after stopping the deploy

[lapis dock]

hmm strange

[eternal kite]

i came back to this project because i received a message from discord saying my bot verification is going to expire in about two months 😂

there's so much i have to revise

[lapis dock]

[eternal kite]

also how big of a difference is pycord and discordpy rn?

[sage tendon]

slash commands? quite

prefix? barely if at all

[lapis dock]

Discord API support they are essentially identical but implementation is quite different

[eternal kite]

yes, i migrated to pycord when slash commands are enforced

[sage tendon]

yea many did, since the dpy guy basically rage quit when slash commands were announced lol

[eternal kite]

what about the new function method names, and features?

[sage tendon]

well for one, dpy doesnt use like @bot.command, but uses a weird (overcomplicated) tree system for commands
dont ask me, i dont know much more either, just that pycord is considerably easier

[eternal kite]

the worst part is they decided to come back

[lapis dock]

Everything new is named slightly different. Very little overlap.

you might get some functions to work but it would work differently and create a lot of hidden bugs

[sage tendon]

but core library basics like idfk guild.channels and guild.get_channel, you name it, are overall really similar if not 90% the same

because it was just taken from dpy and never (needed to) change

[eternal kite]

it took me 2 weeks to migrate from discordpy to pycord and rewrite everything in slash command, im not spending another 2 weeks to migrate back again

[sage tendon]

yea there's no point to do that

its more work

for no gain

[eternal kite]

yea as long as bob is keeping up with the updates

[sage tendon]

ah you missed the bob situation lol

[eternal kite]

what was it?

[lapis dock]

Well bob does not do alot of the development anymore but other people are

[eternal kite]

oh yeah i can tell

[sage tendon]

a relatively big update was ready but bob was gone for quite some time which meant the pypi package couldn't be updated

[eternal kite]

i used to play clashofcode with him

[sage tendon]

but i think control of that was transferred to someone else? but i dont remember exactly

[eternal kite]

welp that was quite a bad news

what about dorukyum?

[sage tendon]

well updates come out when ready now so

[eternal kite]

man it'll be a pain if i have to migrate back to discordpy some day

[sage tendon]

you wont

IF pycord ever was to stop development, there'd just be another fork, and business as usual

[eternal kite]

im planning to rewrite the whole bot during december because after a year i look back at my code and it's ugly af

[sage tendon]

ikr

[lapis dock]

Yeah, I dont see py-cord dying at any point.

[eternal kite]

smh 20k lines of code of gibberish

[sage tendon]

do not tell me that is your main.py

[eternal kite]

no lol

my main.py is the only clean file i have

although it still has around 1k lines of code

oh yeah my cogs are pretty clean too

[sage tendon]

bruh mine has like 28

[eternal kite]

i put all the loop functions and bot events in main.py

[sage tendon]

yea you should really consider splitting it up

[eternal kite]

i tried but when i do that everything breaks

i implemented a dynamic cooldown for my bot

[sage tendon]

e.g. this is how i structured my bot

especially the helper classes cut down on a lot

and utils in general ofc

[sage tendon]

idk if you know but that is built into pycord kind of

[eternal kite]

lol i dont even wanna look at mine

every file is a disaster

[eternal kite]

wdym

[sage tendon]

dynamic cooldowns

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

[eternal kite]

wait what was the feature of this again?

[sage tendon]

well
dynamic cooldowns lol

[eternal kite]

because i remember i implemented this back in 2021 or 2022 because its not flexible enough to achieve what i wanted

[sage tendon]

i mean you can do a ton with it

[eternal kite]

yeah right, it says a command can only have one cooldown

what i wanted is, check for a condition, if true the cooldown will be longer, otherwise it will be shorter

i dont think dynamic cooldown provides this feature, and that's probably the reason i rewrote the whole thing

[sage tendon]

thast exactly what dynamic cooldowns do

[eternal kite]

check the dummy function

[sage tendon]

yea thats exactly what dynamic cooldowns let you do lol

[eternal kite]

i am 100% sure back in the days they dont provide this feature

so i had to implement it myself

[little cobalt]

It was even at 2018?

[eternal kite]

its in 2021 or 2022

ok so how would you use it in my case

[sage tendon]

look at the docs, its well described

[eternal kite]

it says it takes discord.Message as a parameter but i have literally no idea how it works

i probably just forgotten everything it's been at least a year since i last touched bot development

[sage tendon]

message.author and you have all you need

[eternal kite]

yeah but it doesn't allow me to enter two different cooldown duration right?

[sage tendon]

you can return any cooldown you want

as per the docs lol

[eternal kite]

because this is how i used the cooldown

referring to the custom cooldown i implemented above, it will give the user a 900s cooldown if they are not a donator, and 600s cooldown for a donator

is this possible with the built-in dynamic cooldown?

[sage tendon]

yes.

[eternal kite]

huh.

theres no way

i mean it takes a discord.Message as a parameter how is it possible

[sage tendon]

message.author

again

[eternal kite]

yeah but where do i add the condition

are there examples?

[sage tendon]

in the function

[eternal kite]

oh wait wtf

im dead rn 💀

nah i swear this wasn't implemented back in the days

[sage tendon]

added in version 2.0

2.0 came out in 2022

[eternal kite]

yeah i joined before v.20 came out

i still have the v2.0 tester role

i just realised how terrible is my code

12 database read write in the on_application_comand event, and a bunch of if else statement checks

[sage tendon]

wtf

[eternal kite]

yeah i have a database that traces what's the last time the user used a command, and the command they used etc

also check if they are userbotting like using the same command again and again, and check if they are banned/temporary blocked from using the bot

also checks if the bot is currently under maintenance, or if there's new updates that should inform the user for the first time they use a command

[sage tendon]

damn

[eternal kite]

there's going to be a bunch of work for the revamp

[fresh sierra]

Since when ?

[sage tendon]

always?

okay apparently im wrong wtf
i never ever installed it

:> oops

Is there a way for a bot to add, remove, enable & disable automod rules? Can't seem to find much anywhere...

[sage tendon]

create and delete yes
enable and disable, not sure

[nova epoch]

Any chance you can point me toward some docs regarding creating/deleting? I've had a look on https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#automod but it doesn't seem to help much lol

[edgy nest]

you're so close

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.AutoModRule.edit

creating rules is a method of Guild

[nova epoch]

Awesome, thanks :D

[gaunt light]

I'm currently testing changes for a bot on a test server and although I've limited all commands from that bot to be executed within one channel (in the server integrations) on the test server I can still see and successfully execute the commands in other channels as well (restarted the bot and reloaded discord already)
Is that a thing because I'm also the owner of the test server?
I'm on version 2.3

[shell radish]

Is that a thing because I'm also the owner of the test server?
yes

[gaunt light]

ah ok

Hey guys, what i got wrong here? trying to run some blocking code this way but i get an error

https://mystb.in/caa92f74b35489d9e2

[dense summit]

I fixed this, just added None as first arg. Although deferring a modal doesn't send the message "Bot is working..."?

[errant trout]

if you want the "thinking" message, set invisible=False

[dense summit]

in the defer?

[errant trout]

yes

[dense summit]

alright tomorrow i'll try ty

hey guys, I THINK i've been looking at this too long, but i'm getting a NoneType error telling me serverrole doesn't have the members attribute, yet in debug every part of the right side of the assignment resolves?

                           profession: discord.Option(str, choices=['Alchemy', 'Blacksmithing', 'Enchanting', 'Engineering', 'Inscription', 'Jewelcrafting', 'Leatherworking','Tailoring'])
                          ,):
    if profession == 'Alchemy':
        serverrole= discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=profession)

[fresh sierra]

discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=profession) return None

[cosmic thunder]

i'm forcing the user to select a prof though?

[fresh sierra]

print serverrole

[sage tendon]

the role just isn't cached then

or doesn't exist

[cosmic thunder]

ok, so in debug serverrole is reporting as none

how do I cache the role?

[fresh sierra]

by fetching it

[sage tendon]

make sure the role exists with that name first of all

it should be cached

[cosmic thunder]

oh my god. I never saved it in my test server. If this works i'm headbutting a wall.

I am officially an idiot. Thank you for rubber ducking

[cosmic thunder]

okay next question (SORRY) - using the same block of code, it now executes fine but with multiple users added to the role only returns the first into the serverrole variable

[sage tendon]

show the code

[cosmic thunder]

                           profession: discord.Option(str, choices=['Alchemy', 'Blacksmithing', 'Enchanting', 'Engineering', 'Inscription', 'Jewelcrafting', 'Leatherworking','Tailoring'])
                          ,):
    if profession == 'Alchemy':
        serverrole= discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=profession)
        if serverrole.members:
          members_list = "\n".join(str(member.mention) for member in serverrole.members)
          await ctx.respond(f"The users in the {profession} role are: \n{members_list}", ephemeral=True)
        else:
          await ctx.respond(f"No members in the {profession} role", ephemeral=True) ```

When Alchemy is selected, only one user is returned

yet it has two users

that's the output

[little cobalt]

Can you show the bot intents

[cosmic thunder]

in the codebase? or in the discord dev panel

[little cobalt]

the bot

[cosmic thunder]

intents.message_content = True``` is what i'm running in the code

(not indented)

[little cobalt]

did you also added it to the bot?

[cosmic thunder]

do I check that in the dev panel in discord?

[little cobalt]

I mean at bot = discord.Bot

[fresh sierra]

can you show thez print of serverrole.members

[little cobalt]

so you dont have any role intents

[fresh sierra]

for me it need member intents

[cosmic thunder]

[<Member id=202471364454514689 name='.igglepiggle' global_name='IgglePiggle' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=1276103481287249990 name='MyBotFarm' shard_id=0 chunked=False member_count=5>>] is the print

only returns one member

[fresh sierra]

try with adding member intents

[cosmic thunder]

if i'm understanding the skeleton I used from the pycord documentation, that's correct

[cosmic thunder]

intents.member_intents = True?

(very VERY new to python)

[sage tendon]

intents.members = True

check the docs

[cosmic thunder]

aah okay my mistake thank you

That has fixed it. Thank you very much. I'll read up on member intents now so I understand why.

[lean garnet]

Hi, I have an issue with my premium button

        button = Button(
            style=discord.ButtonStyle.premium, 
            sku_id= 1282125623967354920
        )

It says : discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body

I checked and 1282125623967354920 is my sku ID. Anyone knows what I have this error ?

it says the same if I try with str

[jolly shuttle]

i didn't realize premium was a button style.. is it new and the docs don't show the addition? https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons#button-styles

[lean garnet]

It is, https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/enums.html#discord.ButtonStyle.premium

[lofty parcel]

Guide is very outdated.

[lean garnet]

this style is quite new

[edgy nest]

the error discord gives you should tell you what's invalid

[lean garnet]

I double-checked and sent a screenshot of the sku url that I have in the dev portail

[edgy nest]

no like, your error should look like this

with a bit detailing what's invalid

[lean garnet]

Oh yes I forgot

one sc

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.sku_id: Invalid SKU

but as I said I double checked

[sage tendon]

try to pass it as string

and remove the leading space infront of the id

[lofty parcel]

.

[sage tendon]

ah

are you trying it in the correct server?

[shut fox]

[obsidian blaze]

Is it possible to have an issue reopened on github once someone has closed it?

[shell radish]

yes

[obsidian blaze]

How would one do that?

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/issues/2571

[shell radish]

you can only re-open issues that you created or if the issues are in your repository

in this case, this issue is closed for good

[obsidian blaze]

oh, so should I just open another one then since there is more info now?

[shell radish]

if you believe that should be the case, go ahead

[rare marlin]

The issue is that the full name is no longer displayed, and only the first letter is shown. Originally, the entire name was supposed to appear, but now it doesn't work anymore. It's unclear where the problem lies; it might be related to the database


class CreateTicketSelect(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, guild_id):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.guild_id = guild_id

    async def generate_select_options(self):
        options = await db.get_options(self.guild_id)
        return [discord.SelectOption(label=option, value=option) for option in options]

    @discord.ui.select(
        custom_id="ticket_select",
        placeholder="👆 | CLICK ME!",
        options=[],
    )
    async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
        try:
            options = await self.generate_select_options()
            select.options = options
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        except discord.errors.InteractionResponded:
            await interaction.followup.edit_message(message_id=interaction.message.id, view=self)``` ```py
async def get_options(self, guild_id):
        options = await self.all("SELECT option_name FROM ticket_options WHERE guild_id = ?", (guild_id,))
        return [option[0] for option in options]```

[sage tendon]

why do you not fill the options when creating the select?

[rare marlin]

By default, the option is displayed with the full name, but when you set the database, the option is not displayed with the full name. That's the problem!

[fresh sierra]

Return option[0] return the first occcenrure so the first eltter

Just do return option for option in options

Else check ur db to see if there is full name

[fresh sierra]

Did u try to remove the [0]

[rare marlin]

where, then ?

[fresh sierra]

In ur get_options

[fresh sierra]

I mean in the code u shared this only appeared once

[rare marlin]

I don't understand what you mean can you for me do?

[fresh sierra]

…

[sage tendon]

remove the [0]

[rare marlin]

i have

[fresh sierra]

Then test

[sage tendon]

yea then try again

also, why are you on a commit of 2.5

[rare marlin]

but it still doesn't work

[sage tendon]

go to 2.6

[fresh sierra]

He is using ezcord

[sage tendon]

from what you shared in the screenshot it looks like it works perfectly fine

[fresh sierra]

For options you should use

[rare marlin]

yes it works on the print but on the select menu it always shows

[rare marlin]

?

[fresh sierra]

Well first

Czn you show us rhe fonctikn that ur using to crzte the option ?

@fresh sierra

[fresh sierra]

Let me grab my computer to see

can you only send us a screenshot of the issue

[sage tendon]

if the value prints correctly, there is no way this only returns the first letter as the option name unless you're doing something else

[fresh sierra]

like what you see in the thing

[shell radish]

how is the select menu being created

[sage tendon]

here

[fresh sierra]

according to ur code after you click on the dropdown it should edit the option right @rare marlin

but my question is how can they click on the dropdown if there is no option ?

[sage tendon]

yea i still am confused why they initialise the menu with no options selected

[fresh sierra]

is that even possible ?

[sage tendon]

apparently

[fresh sierra]

well

i cant do what he is doing

Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.components.0.options: Must be between 1 and 25 in length.

@rare marlin can you actually send the dropdown ?

[deft kestrel]

with discord modals is possible to select some users?

[sage tendon]

modals are text only

[rare marlin]

yes

[fresh sierra]

show us

like send it from 0

[fresh sierra]

no like send it again

so see if it works

[rare marlin]

@fresh sierra

[fresh sierra]

as i said

send the dropdown click me

again to see if its work

because i explain to u my thing

u should not be able to send an empty dropdown

what i think u should use it creating option dynamically

[rare marlin]

HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.components.0.options: Must be between 1 and 25 in length.```

@fresh sierra Can I send you the whole code? @sage tendon

[fresh sierra]

u cant create a dropdown without issue

that why ur code was not updating

[rare marlin]

I have now fixed the error but it still only shows the first letter, do you know why? @fresh sierra

[fresh sierra]

.

[rare marlin]

How can I fix it? Where is the error?

[fresh sierra]

you need to create a dropdown withotu the decorator

to be able to pass the option as the creation dynamically

[rare marlin]

how?

[red mist]

What's the difference between category.id and category_id ? (Ping me on reply)

oh wait

category_id is to specify where a new channel should belong to

answered my own question

[shut fox]

why are they needed Cogs?

[echo wraith]

So you can split your code into multiple files

[shut fox]

ok, but why should I split it?

[echo wraith]

so you avoid having one huge impractical file with everything in it

[shut fox]

okay

[lapis dock]

They are somewhat of a leftover from prefix commands as you could reload your cogs and the commands would change. I think you can still reload the cogs as long as you do not change the command definition. It gets weird when you want to hot reload a command definition

[sage tendon]

cogs are all but leftovers

[echo wraith]

Yeah like wtf

Cogs are a feature for me

[broken pivot]

how can I perform each task in turn (sequentially, one after the other). I am using aiosqlite and my database is being blocked due to multiple tasks

[hexed herald]

my attempt would be to start each task after the one before finished, maybe you could use custom events for that?

[sage tendon]

your database connector should handle concurrent access

it might block but only for a few milliseconds

[lapis dock]

You might need to look into connection pools

[modern trail]

I'm seeing a weird issue with paginators, where if I have two paginators that were invoked by different commands both active at the same time, I get an index error when trying to page through the first one. If i invoke the same command twice to get 2 of the same paginator though, they both happily work. Am I doing something wrong?

[lapis dock]

Are you editing a list or dict in your callback that could be shared between paginators

[modern trail]

hmm, no. This is the full error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/derek/Code/pzsd-bot/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/view.py", line 426, in _scheduled_task

    page = self.pages[page_number]
IndexError: list index out of range

Each paginator gets its own new list of pages, even when invoking the same command twice

[lapis dock]

Strange, you should open a thread with your code

I'm not on PC so I can't test right now tho

[round heart]

Asking again in case I am just dumb:
Is there a way to pre-emptively restrict SlashCommandGroups to specific Roles or at least flags (e.g. kick_members or whatever) so I don't have to manually go into Integrations?

Ah, maybe checks is a good starting point https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_cog_groups.py#L23

I see there's commands.has_role(...)... can I use that to specify a specific Role? Or would there not be enough context to enforce that by the time it registers the commands with Discord?

[lapis dock]

All checks are performed by the bot. So the bot will still receive the command and throw an error if the check is not met.

Default Permissions and the integrations menu are the only way to hide the command from users

IE you cant restrict a command based on a role or user via your code

[round heart]

Thank you. Although what do you mean by 'Default Permissions' being able to hide commands?

[sage tendon]

If you set default permissions to admin ONLY admins can see the command at all

[lapis dock]

More general to what toothy said
If you set default permissions to something the user can only see that command if they have those permissions. If integration settings are set they will override the default permissions

So for example a ban command can have the default permissions of ban_members and that will make it so that when the bot is first added to the guild only people who are allowed to ban can use it until the owner customizes the integration settings to their needs

[round heart]

Ah. Got it. Thank you, that’s helpful

[frail basin]

Is there any way to make "single guild" bots more redundant?

Essentially I want to run two instances in different DCs

[sage tendon]

for what purpose

[frail basin]

redundancy..

If network drops in DC1 but works in DC2 then the bot should stay online.

Not quite familiar with sharding, however I believe a guild can only "belong" to one shard.

[sage tendon]

yea

p sure

running it twice would work except for events i think

[frail basin]

Wouldnt interactions also get doubled?

Thats the part I am worried about really.

[sage tendon]

no

and i mean, just try it

[shell radish]

yes

[sage tendon]

from my testing there's only ever one response even if the bot runs twice

[shell radish]

if you use followup or ctx.respond, you still send something from the second bot instance

[sage tendon]

i do always use respond

let me retest

nope, one response in chat
cant check the other bot's console rn tho

[echo wraith]

Just a 3 server docker swarm

that's it

how to create custom check for slash_command

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)

admin_users = config['admin_users']

def is_admin():

@bot.slash_command(name="admin_add", description="Add a Pokémon to the database.")
@discord.default_permissions(manage_guild=True)
@is_admin()
async def admin_add(ctx, image_url: str, pokemon_name: str):

that's why it wasn't matching

[modern trail]

this is very bizarre, having two paginators active at once, trying to go to the next page of paginator A will actually affect paginator B instead. I have a thread open with my code, though idk if those get looked as actively as here. In any case, it seems the paginator class is getting confused on which buttons refer to which paginator? Has anyone else experienced something like this?

oh wait a second, do I need to provide a separate list of custom buttons to each paginator? all my paginators are sharing the same list of buttons

that's the only thing i can think of that could cause an issue. guess i'll test providing copies of the list so each is getting new button instances

nope, that didn't fix it. even with completely different instances of paginator buttons, the two paginators are still somehow linked

[vivid axle]

Hey I had py-cord working then i cleaned my project up and repackaged it into a docker file, now its having problems with a slash commands with descriptions? did somthing change?

[little cobalt]

any errors?

[vivid axle]

nothing in the console

[little cobalt]

do you use ctx.send and not respond?

[little cobalt]

that looks fine for me

[vivid axle]

my other comands work too, just not this one.

[lofty parcel]

Hard refresh your client.

[little cobalt]

ctrl + r

[vivid axle]

I Closed and re-opened discord itself, not the bot. that worked? I'm really confused now.

But thank you

[lofty parcel]

Yes I meant the app.

[vivid axle]

Just discord things i guess.

[jaunty knot]

How does one get the cog commands to sync/ work with the desktop client? Can get it to work on the web app

[lapis dock]

Do you mean the commands are not showing up on discord?
If so restart your discord client. Ctrl + r. It is just discord being slow to update them so you have to force it to

[jaunty knot]

Why didn't I think of that, thanks lol

[lapis dock]

np, a very common issue we have here

[jaunty knot]

It showed on the list of commands but calling it did nothing lol

[nova epoch]

Needing a hand with some discord.Option related stuff.
I have a command arg with predefined options via discord.Option with a ton of discord.OptionChoice elements in the choices arg. The choices list is 51 items long, with a max of 25 (this is the issue).

Is there any work-around for it? Thanks :D

[sage tendon]

you can only use autocomplete

but that doesnt enforce the options, it just suggests them, the user can still enter everything

(and btw you dont need optionchoices unless you want the displayed value to be different from the actual value

[nova epoch]

Is there a way to only restict to the provided options?

[sage tendon]

No

you'd have to manually check that

[nova epoch]

Ouch >.<

[haughty grove]

why does @discord.default_permissions not check permissions at all? or am i using it wrong here?

everyone is able to execute that command

[lapis dock]

Can you make sure that permissions in the integration menu are not overriding the default permissions?

[haughty grove]

im sorry, could you please explain what you mean? i dont quite get it

i thought that works the same as @commands.has_permissions

[lapis dock]

So default permissions are the permissions that are required unless they are overridden by an admin in the guild.
You can go to Server Settings -> Integrations -> your bot
If these are set they will override the default permissions

[lapis dock]

Commands permissions is the bot checking if the user has permission
Default permissions is discord checking if the user has permission unless overridden

[haughty grove]

thank you for your explanation

well i never changed anything there so there shouldnt be any overrides

[errant trout]

It does not work with subcommands

[haughty grove]

just figured, thanks you two!

[errant trout]

You can only do it on the original group by passing default_member_permissions with a discord.Permissions object

[haughty grove]

is that possible to setup a global check in a cog ?

Basic Pycord Help (UPDATE TO 2.6.1!)

[pearl carbon]

quest = bot.create_group(name="quest", description="Manage you regional quests")
```How can i create quest as a solo slash_command as well use as group command?

I currently know how to create a slashgroupcommand and its subcommands and I don't know a way to use that group command as solo slash_command

for example:
`/quest add region:Alaska` : using quest with sub command
`/quest`: using quest as solo slash_command

I wanted to show info about quest of user using just /quest but if i can't find any help, then i'll be forced to shift to /quest info instead

[sage tendon]

not possible

[pearl carbon]

thanks but no thanks :)

[sage tendon]

that makes no sense in response to that message

[pearl carbon]

i mean you cleared my query but it didn't helped to achieve the main goal

[sage tendon]

gotta make another subcommand then

[pearl carbon]

yeah on it currently

[jaunty knot]

set the view timeout to None, but i keep getting "This interaction failed"

[sage tendon]

did you also add it to the bot?

[jaunty knot]

hmm

its within a cog thats loaded into the bot

[pearl carbon]

interaction can be failed due to errors too

[sage tendon]

you need to do self.bot.add_view(View())

[jaunty knot]

could be, mostly playing around with select menus

ill do that

[pearl carbon]

is it possible to create mutiple choosable options
like a user can select mutiple options from choices?

[sage tendon]

in a select? yes

[pearl carbon]

no, in slash_command options

[sage tendon]

then no

[pearl carbon]

ahh guessed it :/

[edgy nest]

you can kind of simulate that with autocomplete

but the user can then just type whatever they damn well please

i'd just make multiple options

[jaunty knot]

results in "Application Command raised an exception: ValueError: View is not persistent. Items need to have a custom_id set and View must have no timeout"

[sage tendon]

why don't you make a sperate view class

makes it much cleaner to handle

and yea you didnt set no timeout

[jaunty knot]

was planning to clean it up into a view class once I had select menus figured out

lol

[pearl carbon]

The option list isn't much so one option at a time won't hurt

[jaunty knot]

I initially had a timeout, where I set view = View(timeout=None), but removed that timeout before running into that error

[sage tendon]

yea add it back

[jaunty knot]

partially worked, the add_view at the bottom is returning TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

[sage tendon]

code

[jaunty knot]

here's that whole thing

[sage tendon]

and show the error too

[sage tendon]

you arent awaiting that in your code tho what

and it shouldn't be awaited

[jaunty knot]

had an await, but, removed it after getting the error

while it works, the select menus don't pop up

[sage tendon]

show

[jaunty knot]

this is what happens after running the command

[sage tendon]

any error?

[jaunty knot]

nope

[sage tendon]

show where you send the message then

because i dont think you do

since you arent using ctx in that command

[jaunty knot]

i'm hitting enter after the command

[sage tendon]

you arent responding to the interaction in your code

[granite pier]

dont add persistent view in command

thats 1 thing

and show ur whole code of command

[sage tendon]

they're just missing ctx.respond, thats all

[jaunty knot]

hmm, any way to not make this persistent?

[sage tendon]

what

[granite pier]

replace self.client.add_view with await ctx.respond(view=view)

[sage tendon]

they'll still need to add the view to the bot tho if they want it to be persistent
which would be much cleaner with a seperate class :>

[granite pier]

yeah but that would add it with every command run

[sage tendon]

i know

[jaunty knot]

worked, but "this interaction failed" is back

[sage tendon]

yea because you arent adding the view to the bot

first of all make a seperate view class before you do anything else

and then add that to the bot in on_ready

[jaunty knot]

might as well, ty

idk what the max per message is tho

[jaunty knot]

From what I read (unconfirmed) it's 5, but can't seem to add another one

I think it's 3 or 4

[jaunty knot]

here's where I'm at, only the first select shows

async def cog_check / async def cog_check

[fresh sierra]

I mean a global check

For I put a check in a cog that does that for every command in the whole bot

[granite pier]

async def bot_check / async def bot_check

[fresh sierra]

This is gonna be a check but not a global check right ?

Im gonna try

But in my memory it was not doing a global check

[granite pier]

bot_check = global

cog_check = cog

[edgy nest]

i don't think its a decorator

just a method

ah yeah

so method no decorator ^

hello, i am trying to create a delete button that deletes a message. i made the custom id channel_id-message_id. in the callback method, i tried messageObj = await commands.MessageConverter().convert(interaction.context, message_id) but it errors with
AttributeError: '_EnumValue_InteractionContextType' object has no attribute 'guild'.

can i actually do this? basically trying to delete reported messages and the view is hidden from the public

[lofty parcel]

The delete button deletes the message it was sent on? Or it deletes another message?

[ivory wind]

another

trying to do this

[lofty parcel]

Just pass the message object to your view class through the init

Or pass your channel ID and message ID and then create a PartialMessage

[lapis dock]

you should not be using the message converter in that way. If anything you should be using my_channel.get_message() and my_channel.fetch_message(). But like dark said for deleting messages you only need a PartialMessage

[ivory wind]

i created this slashGroupCommand and added subcommands to it but I also want to create its prefix version so I went through Bridge Commands but I can't seem to find how to use a slash group as both prefix command group and slash command group

[little cobalt]

You might have to use bridge group for it

[pearl carbon]

you mean like

quest = bot.bridge_group(name="quest", description="Manage your regional quests")```like this?

[little cobalt]

Maybe, I never did it with bridge commands

[rugged lodge]

Here's the bridge commands example.

[errant trout]

showcased there

[pearl carbon]

and then use it like this

@quest.command(name, description)
async def add(args)```

[pearl carbon]

ok

ohh nice thnks

[pearl carbon]

just 1 more question, i have added options in one of the slash commands, but since in prefix commands users can't see choices, so do i need to add additional custom validation decorator to check if the has entered valid choice?

or pycord has internal validation function to raise error for wrong choice input?

[fresh sierra]

Using choices only choices can be pass in prefix

Using autocomplete everything can be use

[pearl carbon]

suppose there are two choices male & female but the user inputs child using prefix command. So will the command return error or will it not get invoked?

[fresh sierra]

Yes

[pearl carbon]

yes what?

[fresh sierra]

Yes it will return an error and not get i voned

Bad arg errro

[pearl carbon]

ohh ohk

thnks

i have add as subcommand under quest group. so to use it in prefix method user must invoke it like this right?
!quest add Alaska

you do

tho if its prefix ignore what i said and idk how prefix groups work

yes its prefixed

it worked earlier on till i edited isadmin

ctx is a required argument that is missing.

It's a prefixed group command btw

[lapis dock]

can you send the full error/traceback

[stray yarrow]

thats the error printed off

[sage tendon]

the FULL traceback

[stray yarrow]

ok 2s

from what i've noticed its ignoring the self argument

[lapis dock]

is it indented correctly

[stray yarrow]

yep

[stray yarrow]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: ctx is a required argument that is missing.```

[lapis dock]

I want to make sure it is referenceing the right thing

[stray yarrow]

what i've noticed is that it seems to be acting as if self isnt there

like in my bots error log channel it shows:

Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Context' object has no attribute 'functions'

which is what im guessing is referring to:

data = await self.functions.databaseFetchResult("global", "roleConfigs", "hostRole", "id", ctx.guild.id)

[lapis dock]

Is your code saved?

I would try to restart your IDE

[sage tendon]

almost, but wrong

it's passing ctx to self

[lapis dock]

Which generally implies that the fucntion is not in the class IE not indented correctly or something else above it is not indented corecctly

[stray yarrow]

Restarted and checked

everything indented correctly

[sage tendon]

can you just screenshot the code in your IDE

[stray yarrow]

just tested the other commands in the cog

all except the command groups worked

[lapis dock]

can you show yout pip list
