[slender lintel]

just wanna make sure before i start doing something else

ight

no

[crimson coral]

how did you add that ping command

[slender lintel]

different cog

[crimson coral]

and that cog would load a new command fine?

[slender lintel]

there's only 1 command there and I didn't touch that cog for like 4 months

[crimson coral]

might as well try

[slender lintel]

didn't work

[stiff dagger]

Is there something I need to do for the values to not stay 'selected' after I select them. I select orange and everything runs fine but the orange value just stays there. It's more of a visual thing, but also since the orange value remains selected there, I have to select another value before I can reselect Orange.

[stiff dagger]

Also I don't specify max_values only min_values=1 but it automatically takes it as my selection not letting me select more as if I had also set max_values as 1

[crimson coral]

min, max=1 is the default https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#select

[crimson coral]

this is a client thing so you can't override it unless

1. the user reloads their client
2. you edit over the message with a new view

[earnest sail]

so when I defer inside a modal's callback, it sends a response message:

async def callback(self, interaction: Interaction):
    await interaction.response.defer()

if I don't defer, I get an "this interaction failed". What can I do about it? I don't want to send a message when I defer()

[frigid lark]

you still need
interaction.response.send_message(message)

[earnest sail]

that's a discord design?

[frigid lark]

thats how you send messages with it

[earnest sail]

but I don't want to send any message after that

but if I don't, I get "interaction failed"

that's the issue

[frigid lark]

yep

you have to send something

[earnest sail]

that sucks

thanks anyway

[frigid lark]

its the same with slash commands

you need ctx.respond

[earnest sail]

nope

with slash commands when I do defer() it doesn't send a message

that's happening only with modals

[crimson coral]

defer is only used for extending the response time

even if you defer in a slash command, you still have to respond

the same goes for all interactions on discord

[earnest sail]

but why on modals it sends a message automatically?

[crimson coral]

it doesn't, that's the response body

the same happens when you type a slash command

you'll see a little "thinking" prompt

[earnest sail]

I don't get it.. i've been using defer on all my slash and that's not happening

there is no "thinking" prompt

and theres no "interaction failed"

[crimson coral]

because your commands are executing very quickly

[earnest sail]

maybe "interaction failed" comes after a while, but stil no thinking prompty

[earnest sail]

i'm not sending messages on my views, I'm mostly editing the already sent message

[crimson coral]

oh not thinking, it'll be sending command

[earnest sail]

theres no "thinking" prompt

[crimson coral]

that may be considered a response

[earnest sail]

well on my modals I'm also doing the same thing

but there is a thinking prompt

couldn't it be a bug with pycord?

[crimson coral]

i just tested and you can submit fine without it

do interaction.response.edit_message

regardless, every interaction on discord; slash commands, user commands, buttons, dropdowns, modal submissions, etc. requires a response that's either sending a new message via response or editing the message that triggered it

[earnest sail]

yeah, that worked, thank you

[crimson coral]

all good

[earnest sail]

still weird that defer() is working differently when used on modal's callbacks

[crimson coral]

i mean

for your usage you literally don't need defer

[earnest sail]

well, I did defer because even using interaction.message.editI was getting "interaction failed"

so I guess it wasn't counting as a response

[crimson coral]

defer is only needed if your response takes more than 3 seconds

[earnest sail]

anyways, may I ask you another thing?

[crimson coral]

sure

[earnest sail]

whenever I send a modal after another modal has been submitted, the placeholder value is the value from the previous modal

is that a discord design?

[crimson coral]

uhhhh

i don't think so

pretty sure you have full control over it

[earnest sail]

now that's weird

[crimson coral]

sounds like you're crossing variables somewhere

[earnest sail]

well I'll re read my code later

[upbeat hill]

what does this code do?

def __init__(self, channel):
        super().__init__()
        self.channel = channel

[idle wagon]

Hi. How do more than 1 dropdown, to one message? Can I do this?

[idle wagon]

you can pass arguments.

[upbeat hill]

after a button has been used how do you disable thee other buttons in that view for that channel

[sudden path]

You can use the disable_all_items method

b!rtfm pyc disable_all_items

[open bear]

No results found when searching for disable_all_items in pyc

[sudden path]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/1199

[upbeat hill]

thanks

[upbeat hill]

do you have a use case example for disable_all_items

[fresh brook]

Any slash command in a cog examples?

[obsidian goblet]

How do i convert Users to Member objects ?

[sudden path]

users as in? An ID?

[obsidian goblet]

yes

[sudden path]

b!rtfm pyc get_member

[open bear]

Best matches for get_member in pyc

discord.Bot.get_all_members

[obsidian goblet]

ive been trying to get get_member to work and it keeps giving errors

[sudden path]

ctx.guild.get_member()

[upbeat hill]

keep getting interaction failed for disabeling the buttons

[obsidian goblet]

its just returning none

[sudden path]

Then the user is not a server member

[obsidian goblet]

its my id tho ?

[sudden path]

Try this

[obsidian goblet]

thats also retuning none

Hi guys, I'm trying to use embeds, but I'm running into this issue

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: Embed.add_field() got an unexpected keyword argument 'title'

This is my code

embed = discord.Embed(
        title="My Amazing Embed",
        description="Embeds are super easy, barely an inconvenience.",
        color=discord.Colour.blurple(), # Pycord provides a class with default colors you can choose from
    )
    embed.add_field(title="A Normal Field", value="A really nice field with some information. **The description as well as the fields support markdown!**")

    embed.add_field(title="Inline Field 1", value="Inline Field 1", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(title="Inline Field 2", value="Inline Field 2", inline=True)

    embed.set_image(url="https://example.com/link-to-my-banner.png")
 
    await ctx.respond("Hello! Here's a cool embed.", embed=embed, ephemeral=True) # Send the embed with some text

It's from a Pycord guide and I think either the syntax got updated and this guide is outdated or I am doing something wrong

[sudden path]

Do you have intents

[obsidian goblet]

Thank you

i didnt

thank you for the help

[steep snow]

fields don't have the title argument. It's name

[glad saffron]

Ohhhhhh was this updated

[steep snow]

Nope, it has always been like this as far as I know.

[glad saffron]

Is this guide outdated 😅

Huhhh ok i see

I got this example template from here https://guide.pycord.dev/getting-started/more-features/

[hoary birch]

Uh so i have been trying to update my ban command and it works fine as a slash command but when I try to use it as a prefix command it fails.
I have narrowed the error down to banning a member outside the server.

This does not work with either users in the server or outside:

@commands.command()
 @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
        user = await self.bot.get_or_fetch_user(member.id)
await ctx.guild.ban(user=user, delete_message_days=0, reason=reason)

This works with both users inside and outside the server but does not work with @mentions:

@commands.command()
 @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    async def ban(self, ctx, member, *, reason=None):
        user = await self.bot.get_or_fetch_user(member)
await ctx.guild.ban(user=user, delete_message_days=0, reason=reason)

Working slash command for reference:

@moderator.command(description='Ban a member from this server!')
    async def ban(self, ctx, member: Option(discord.Member, description="@mention or user id of the member you wantto ban", required=True), *, reason=None):
await ctx.guild.ban(user=user, delete_message_days=0, reason=reason)
     ```

[ancient gazelle]

I need to get the data of the message my pycord bot has been called in form of a reaction.
Earlier, this used to work ctx.channel.fetch_message(ctx.message.reference.message_id) but cant find its replacement in pycord. Any help here.

[sudden path]

Just check if member is a Discord.Member object or an int.

[sudden path]

Wdym in a form of a reaction

[hoary birch]

in the first example?

[sudden path]

Mhm.

[ancient gazelle]

like I am replying to this message, assuming I am the bot, I need 'Wdym in a form of a reaction' with me.

[sudden path]

It still is message.reference

b!rtfm pyc message.reference

[open bear]

Best matches for message.reference in pyc

discord.Message.reference
discord.Message.to_reference
discord.PartialMessage.to_reference
discord.message.DeletedReferencedMessage
discord.message.MessageReference

[ancient gazelle]

Can anyone help me in making a slash command that works as a response to a message?

[crimson coral]

you can't reply to messages with slash commands

[ancient gazelle]

I know that but can I call a slash command in form of a reply?

[crimson coral]

not... really?

a slash command response is technically a reply to yourself

well not technically, it just looks like it

[ancient gazelle]

Oh-

Makes lot more sense.

Thanks.

[crimson coral]

all good

[queen nacelle]

how would I send a modal on button_callback (when button is clicked)

[unique glacier]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=interaction response#discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

[frank moon]

how to set a value and description for each auto complete option?

[ornate spade]

I believe you can return a list of OptionChoice objects which have these attrs

[warped bear]

I used on_interaction to grant the role when the button is pressed, is there any other better way?
I don't want to change the message after restarting.

[stable tiger]

yes, persistent view with your giving roles function in its button callback

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons#persistent-views

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[warped bear]

It is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.

[wraith finch]

has anybody worked with mongo here?

[distant stag]

my bot is catching events like on_message but its not responding to commands

could there any possible reasons for that ?

[frank moon]

ok i try and thank

[celest moth]

what's wrong with getting a variable like this?

[wide cloak]

Whats the max time for the delete_after arg?

[frank moon]

doesn't seem to have description oof

[ornate spade]

choices dont have descriptions

if you mean an autocomplete description just use the option description

[frank moon]

I was saying auto complete there lmao

Wdym option description?

[ornate spade]

Option(description="...")

[frank moon]

Oh

The discord.Option

[ornate spade]

I didnt think you would ask this

[frank moon]

So like ```py
return [discord.Option(name=thing, etx)]

[frank moon]

U told me to use that

[ornate spade]

you cant return an option

you can return OptionChoices

[frank moon]

Kinda confuse

[ornate spade]

and those dont have descriptions

[frank moon]

Which example shud I look at?

[ornate spade]

where do you want the description to go?

where should it be written

[frank moon]

Nvm forgotten how autocomplete works

Ok

So return discord.OptionChoices

For auto complete

[ornate spade]

yes you can return a list of those

OptionChoice

[frank moon]

Ok

[frank moon]

Sorry forgotten that autocomplete cannot have description like the args for slash cmds

The default_permissions decorator isn't working on my bot. It doesn't matter if I set it or not, the command can always be invoked by all members.
This is my code:

    @message_group.command(
        usage="<channel> <message>",
        description="Sends a message in the given channel.",
    )
    @commands.guild_only()
    @discord.default_permissions(embed_links=True)
    async def send(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        channel: discord.TextChannel,
        *,
        message: str,
    ):
        await channel.send(message)
        await ctx.respond(
            f"Successfully sent the message into {channel.mention}.",
            ephemeral=True,
        )

Am I doing something wrong? Well, probably yes, but what?

[inland acorn]

how to just delete the message with button if the button was not clicked under 7 seconds

[inner iris]

what about await channel.send(content, view=view, delete_after=7)?

just delete the message after 7 seconds using the delete_after argument

[inland acorn]

well, there is pblm, the message gets editted after pressing button and i dont want the editted message to get deleted

coz editted message will also then deleted after 7 secs

[inner iris]

hm

[slender lintel]

my bot isn't reading message.content is there a reason for this? its only reading when i @ my bot

[inner iris]

chill, i'm thinking

[crimson coral]

set the view timeout to 7 seconds and override on_timeout

[inland acorn]

did that but, timeout function is still being called after i press the button

after 7 sec of pressing

[crimson coral]

then just check if the button was pressed inside on_timeout

[inland acorn]

how

[slender lintel]

worked, thanks. was wondering why it wasn't working, cause on discord.py it worked 😂

[crimson coral]

i mean it can't be that hard to think of how to check that

[inland acorn]

also is this expected behaviour of timout func?

[crimson coral]

yes, timeout is always called when the view times out

pressing the button doesn't stop the view

[inland acorn]

uhmm should i just do view.stop in callback function?

[crimson coral]

well you can but that'll still call on_timeout

[inland acorn]

brrr

[crimson coral]

just make another variable that checks if the button was pressed

[inland acorn]

thought of dat, but not sure whether the variable might be mixed when the concurrency is increased

coz i am suffering with similar issue, see this #976001050110726245

[crimson coral]

it shouldn't mix, but if you're worried about that then map to an ID inside a dict or something

[inland acorn]

so just rewritting whole part of this

[inland acorn]

ok lemme try with variable

[slender lintel]

Can someone help me?

[surreal nimbus]

can the discord.commands.Option be subclassed and have a some sort of Context?

[ornate spade]

what's the use case?

[surreal nimbus]

I need to access the user's, who invoked the command, id

I also need to get the discord.Bot instance

but I think I can access it, because the subclassed Option is in a cog

so I only need the user's id

wait, how do I get the discord.Bot instance if it's a class inside a class?

[celest moth]

is it necessary to close a file after i open it in python?

[crimson gale]

not necessarily but closing them frees memory for python to use

generally you should use context managers to handle opening files and such

why am i getting this error every time i run the bot?

[crimson gale]

because some server hasnt granted the bot access to the applications.commands scope

[clever lava]

umm

[clever lava]

how do i fix this

i toggled it on when i made the invite link

[crimson gale]

servers have to reinvite with the appropriate scopes turned on

[slender lintel]

Thanks

[plain rover]

Hi, I am trying to add a command with custom permissions. For this I am using this line:

@self.slash_command(name='test2', permissions=[discord.CommandPermission(id=ROLES['Slash'], type=1, permission=True, guild_id=GUILDS['Bot Development'])])``` however the permissions don't get set correctly. What am I doing wrong?

[crimson coral]

CommandPermission has been removed due to the shift to v2; it doesn't exist on rc1 and beyond

you can no longer set user/role discord-level permissions via the bot, you can only do that via the server's integrations tab now

[crimson gale]

if you still need to limits commands to bot owner, you can just use checks instead

[plain rover]

Huh, that's sad. But thanks for the answer!

[crimson gale]

youre not out of hope

[plain rover]

I mean, I was looking for elegant solutions, I don't think checks will do the job? (Although I don't quite know how they work yet, so I will see)

[crimson gale]

they will

some basic checks can be found in the commands extension

they raise errors if the check doesnt pass for your error handler to handle

[plain rover]

But the commands would still show up if users type '/' in the chat, which is what I wanted to avoid in the first place.

[placid field]

rq, before i obliterate my bot, do i need to call await interaction.original_message() before accessing interaction.message.id, or do i have to do message = await interaction.original_message()

[crimson gale]

which you cannot do

if the users cant use a command then i call it good enough

[crimson coral]

if you really want no one else to see your command, either manage it yourself via the integrations menu or limit it to your own guild if that isn't an option

[crimson coral]

not necessarily, but if interaction.message returns None then yes

in my experience interaction.message has worked pretty reliably but it might depend on other factors

[placid field]

thanks

[gilded widget]

Not directly related to pycord but more of a general question. I currently have the following code:

async def request(self,
                  *,
                  method: callable | str,
                  endpoint: str,
                  data: dict = None
                  ) -> dict:

I'm currently getting the following error in relation to the method argument: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'builtin_function_or_method' and 'type'
Anyone know of a good way to get around this? For reference, the method param should either take in a string like "get" or take in a callable such as aiohttp.ClientSession.get.

[crimson gale]

what python version are you using?

[gilded widget]

3.10.1

[crimson gale]

huh, that should work then

if not then the workaround is to import Union from typing and use that instead

[gilded widget]

yeah, weirdly enough that fixed it. isn't the | operator in type hinting in python 3.10 meant to replace typing.Union?

[crimson gale]

yep, but its the simplest work around i see right now

[agile estuary]

So idk if i understand that correctly. If i run my bot then change a cog (while the bot runs) then reload that cog with reload_extension, the changes i made should update right? So the next time when i use a slash command it should have the updated behavior. Or did i missunderstand the use of reload_extension?

[crimson gale]

its intended use is to change functionality while the bot is running

[crimson coral]

that's meant to be the case but slash callbacks are weird with reloading so idk if it works

[agile estuary]

Oh ok. Bcs i reload my cog and the slash command has the old behavior.

[crimson coral]

iirc it was meant to be implemented properly but it hasn't worked in my experience

[crimson gale]

because you have to sync them

[weak fog]

hey, somehow nothing works for me anymore, I uninstalled everything and then couldn't install anything in the terminal, do you know what's going on there?

[agile estuary]

with sync_commands?

[crimson gale]

yes

[gilded widget]

looks like using typing.Callable instead of the builtin callable also works, any idea if this could maybe be intended behavior or a bug?

[agile estuary]

mh so i tried using sync_commands after the reload already, same results no error.

[crimson gale]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[agile estuary]

So i now tried to only unload a extension. But when i unload a cog the slash_commands where still available and functional. No error. Im confused.

[crimson coral]

what version are you on

just tried and on rc1 it looks like reload_extension alone works for me now

which is nice to know

[agile estuary]

2.0.0b4

[crimson coral]

jesus

uhh i recommend updating to rc1

though do note if you specified the messages intent, you need to change that to message_content

[agile estuary]

Jup thanks. Myb should update more regularly e: The unload still doesnt work ig. But idc wasted to much time on this.

[crimson gale]

you need both for prefixed commands

[sudden path]

Can I fetch a user by their username and discrim?

[inner iris]

In a guild or global?

global is not possible as far as I know

[idle wagon]

Hi whether it is possible to transfer arguments to model?

[sudden path]

Ah. In a guild?

[sudden path]

You're not passing those arguments.

[inner iris]

try this:

from discord.ext import commands
user = await commands.UserConverter().convert(ctx, "user#1234")

else look here https://www.reddit.com/r/Discord_Bots/comments/g0eoqj/is_it_possible_to_get_a_users_id_just_from_their/
or use google 😉

I just see, that would actually be a command

[sudden path]

Ah. Thanks.

[inner iris]

actually this is far simpler I think
member = discord.utils.get(message.guild.members, name='Foo', discriminator='1234')

[sudden path]

Yeah haha.

[winged pagoda]

I'm trying to have a group of commands that any user can use, but I would like them not to be used at the same time.

Is there any way to set a "shared" cooldown or what should i look into start/stopping users from using commands

[inner iris]

@commands.cooldown(rate, per, commands.BucketType.<type>)
<type> can be channel, guild, user/member, category, role

[winged pagoda]

[steep verge]

How do I fix this error with mongodb?

[inner iris]

dude, why posting it here if you already have a thread for it...

[steep verge]

Because no one answers in threads

[gilded widget]

or maybe people just havent responded yet 🤨

[inner iris]

that's not true

bad order of messages xD

[gilded widget]

lmao

[fresh brook]

Is it possible to get the value of each row of a long modal text input?

[celest moth]

what arguments are available in await respond? i tried ephemeral=True and got an error

[gilded widget]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.send_message is called if you haven't responded yet, https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Webhook.send is called if you have already responded

using the ephemeral parameter shouldn't be an issue with the function itself.

[celest moth]

does interaction work with views only or slash commands too

[gilded widget]

like having an interaction object?

[celest moth]

yup

[gilded widget]

slash commands have ApplicationContext which has a property of interaction

[celest moth]

I see, thank you very much

[celest moth]

Like this?

[gilded widget]

use ctx.respond

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#applicationcontext

[sudden path]

What @commands. Checks hide/grey-out the slash command?

[celest moth]

How do i get the user that invoked the command? is there something like ctx.author?

[gilded widget]

yes

[slender lintel]

Hey i have two questions, i have a code for online members i have len(user) used for count but dont working.
Code:

    for user in ctx.guild.members:
        if user.status != discord.Status.offline:
            print(user)

So my next question is, how i can see record of server boosts?

[gilded widget]

p.tag idw

[supple ravine]

Saying it doesn't work or asking what's wrong with this code? is not helpful for yourself or others.
Describe what you expect and/or tried (with your code), and what isn't going right.
Please provide any errors you get for optimal assistance.

[gilded widget]

second question, don't believe you can see a record

[slender lintel]

not?

[gilded widget]

what

[slender lintel]

can i see the record of server boosts, yes or no?

[slender lintel]

and this is not helping me..
i want only a answer for this

[gilded widget]

I said no, I don't think you can see server boosts

i lost power so you'll need to check for yourself tbh

and I can't help you with your first issue if you don't tell me what the actual issue is with the code

saying it doesn't work doesn't tell me anything

[slender lintel]

not problem, i want only a count to this

[gilded widget]

what exactly are you trying to accomplish. are you wanting to count the amount of online members?

[slender lintel]

yes

i have len(user) tried but i dont know is not working

[gilded widget]

just increment an int every time a member isn't offline?

count = 0
for user in ctx.guild.members:
    if user.status != discord.Status.offline:
        count += 1

should work if I'm understanding what you want

[slender lintel]

and print(user) for the count or?

[gilded widget]

not sure why you would print the user if you're just trying to count how many are online

[slender lintel]

wait

[slender lintel]

so i want a count this called example 239 Members is on the Server but only 23 Members is online so i want a count the bot target me the count gived also the bot target print 23
you know? im sorry my english not so good

[gilded widget]

still not entirely sure what you want, but if you just wanna print the amount of users online then place a print(count) after and outside of the for loop

[slender lintel]

I am i know what i want

[slender lintel]

But print 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... i want but only number not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ...

so direct expamle 23

[slender lintel]

so basically this atmo bot i gave him founder everything with admin permission but he dosent even reply in the server and in dm he replies

[ornate spade]

enable message_content intent

[slender lintel]

ok wait

[slender lintel]

enabled but no work

[coarse axle]

How would I be able to get the user on who a UserCommand is used? For example I want to kick someone, I can right click them to get a user context menu, but how would I know who has been clicked?

For dislash it used to be ctx.target_author

[desert dagger]

Any ideas why the "get" seems to fail roleID ends up equaling the name=role value

async def create(ctx, role: Option(str, "role", required=True), colors: Option(str, "color", required=False)):

                await ctx.guild.create_role(name=role, color=colors, reason=f'created by {ctx.author.name}')
                roleID = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=role)
                print('role id', roleID)

If i try to use Int(roleID) i get an error like
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'Role'

[coarse axle]

roleID returns a Role object, so you'll have to use roleID.id to get its ID (which would already be an integer then)

[desert dagger]

ahh

thanks

[coarse axle]

👍

[desert dagger]

code was working fine a bit ago then it went 💩 lmao

[slender lintel]

@ornate spade please help

[ornate spade]

I told you the idea I had

[wraith finch]

Is there a way to see the errors after adding cogs?

Like before adding cogs I could see errors in my terminal to do with commands and it was so much easier to fix them but now after adding cogs there are no errors in my terminal. So is there a way I can see them?

[crimson gale]

you also need the messages intent for the bot to receive messages that dont involve it for prefixed commands to work

[slender lintel]

done

[plain rover]

Can I somehow respond to a Modal interaction without sending a message? My code right now looks something like this

class TestModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, title):
        super().__init__(title)
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label='Input', placeholder='Placeholder'))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message('HI')```  however I do wish to respond there without the "HI" appearing.

[crimson gale]

you could try your luck with response.pong()

some people have had success with it

@plain rover

[plain rover]

I tried

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.pong() ```
However that doesn't seem to do anything.

[stable tiger]

my suggestion would be make that 'Hi' message into .send_message('Hi', ephemeral=True) so only Modal user sees it

[plain rover]

Ooh, I didn't know this existed. Thanks!

[frank moon]

why is the @discord.default_permissions(moderate_members=True) not working in my slash command? the user literally has no role/permissions to run the cmd

[jolly belfry]

what do i need to do?

[crimson gale]

provide input

[jolly belfry]

soo

i do .bal <what_do_i_put_in_here??>

what do i need to put there?

[crimson gale]

well you made the command

you should know

[jolly belfry]

i have the code provided above

@bot.command()

thats the code

Please put your code in a code block:

  return users

[crimson gale]

so based on this

you want user to be an optional arg right?

[jolly belfry]

i just want to do .bal and when you dont have account it creates one and when you have an account to show your bank and wallet balance

[crimson gale]

so user is supposed to be an optional arg

[jolly belfry]

i think so

[crimson gale]

user = None in function definition

[jolly belfry]

what function?

[crimson gale]

then you need to set user to ctx.author if user is None

[crimson gale]

command

[jolly belfry]

oh

[crimson gale]

fyi dont use json as permanent database solution

[jolly belfry]

so dont just do user = ctx.author

do if user = None:

user = ctx.author

[crimson gale]

yes but you might wanna use a different comparison operator in the condition

infact you shouldnt be using a comparison operator in there

[jolly belfry]

what?

[crimson gale]

is None is what you need

[jolly belfry]

if not user?

oh

[distant mesa]

why are u overcomplicating? just use:

user = user or ctx.author

[jolly belfry]

if user is None?

[crimson gale]

yes or the above

[jolly belfry]

ok

lemme try that

[agile roost]

Why this code send the cooldown embed(message) 10 times or more ?

class Cog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self._cd = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1, 6.0, commands.BucketType.user)

    def get_ratelimit(self, message: discord.Message) -> typing.Optional[int]:
        bucket = self._cd.get_bucket(message)
        return bucket.update_rate_limit()

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, msg: discord.Message):
        if isinstance(msg.channel, discord.DMChannel):
            ratelimit = self.get_ratelimit(msg)
            if ratelimit is None:
                # not ratelimited (No Cooldown)
            else:
                # is ratelimited (Cooldown) embed```

got this error

[distant mesa]

user=None

[crimson gale]

you didnt make the argument optional

[distant mesa]

in function params

[agile roost]

ohso and how do I prevent this

[jolly belfry]

after doing user = user or ctx.author

[crimson gale]

in function params

the place where you have ctx as well

[jolly belfry]

oh

ok

[agile roost]

Do I have to do ctx there ?

[crimson gale]

has nothing to do with your issue probably

[crimson gale]

right there

[jolly belfry]

at the bal or open account

?

[crimson gale]

you want the user argument to be optional for the command to work

[distant mesa]

check if author is a bot then return

because bot is looping on its own messages

[jolly belfry]

at bal or open_account???????

[crimson gale]

if you make user optional on the latter, it still wouldnt work without it

[distant mesa]

async def bal(ctx, user=None)

[agile roost]

How do I optional write there in the parameter?

[distant mesa]

.

[distant mesa]

.

@agile roost

[agile roost]

if msg.author == self.bot.user:
return

[distant mesa]

he's talking to @jolly belfry

[crimson gale]

im not talking to you

Ah ok sry

[jolly belfry]

different error this time

[frank moon]

why is the @discord.default_permissions(moderate_members=True) not working in my slash command? the user literally has no role/permissions to run the cmd

[crimson gale]

move the ["wallet"] to the right outside of the square brackets

[distant mesa]

Don't use json as db

[inland acorn]

true

[crimson gale]

^ not as a permanent solution

[jolly belfry]

what do i use then?

[crimson gale]

sqlite, mongodb

youve got choices

[inland acorn]

i feel data loss

[jolly belfry]

i followed code with swastik tutorial

[distant mesa]

u can use my sqlite wrapper for creating economy easier

https://github.com/Nohet/DiscordEconomy

[inland acorn]

hmm code with swastic hmm

json is not recommended but

i use mongodb altas

[crimson gale]

mongodb is better compared to just plain json files

[jolly belfry]

ill just use sth more mainstream so i can find more tutorials

i ggt

gtg

[distant mesa]

there are examples provided

[jolly belfry]

cya later

[frank moon]

why is the @discord.default_permissions(moderate_members=True) not working in my slash command? the user literally has no role/permissions to run the cmd

[hushed basalt]

hello, one question, theres anyway to limit @bridge.bridge_command() to a guild?

[wraith finch]

you use mongodb? I have this bug where like after I insert something into the database anything after that line doesn't get executed the command just stops, its so weird is it the same for u?

[atomic thistle]

If I have same commands.Cog.listener() in two different cog files, will both of then run or only one of them will run?

[sudden path]

I use mongo and works fine for me.

[sudden path]

Both will run.

[atomic thistle]

thanks

[wraith finch]

idkk what I'm doing wrong, I'm stuck with this problem for 3 days now

[sudden path]

Mind sharing your command.

[wraith finch]

ok

    @commands.command(name = 'createfaction')
    async def create_faction_command(self, ctx, *, faction = None):
        print('ok')
        user = ctx.author.id
        if faction == None:

            em = discord.Embed(
                title = "Help 🛠️",
                description = '**d.createfaction [faction name]**\nCreate your Faction',
                colour = discord.Colour.yellow()
            )
            await ctx.send(embed = em)
        
        else:
            faction_name = faction.capitalize()

            if self.collection.count_documents({ "leader": user }, limit = 1):
                await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author} You already own a Faction!")
            
            elif self.collection.count_documents({ "_id": faction_name }, limit = 1):
                await ctx.send(f"This Faction already exists!")

            else:
                await self.collection.insert_one({"_id": faction_name, "leader": user})
                await ctx.send (f'{faction_name} Created!')

the command works

await self.collection.insert_one({"_id": faction_name, "leader": user})
await ctx.send (f'{faction_name} Created!')

In this scenario the bot wont send a message but if I write

            await ctx.send (f'{faction_name} Created!')
            await self.collection.insert_one({"_id": faction_name, "leader": user})

It will send a message

[sudden path]

Does it insert the document?

[wraith finch]

yes it does

But just wont execute the command after that

so uh I just tested something I removed the await before self.collection and now it works

huh

so much time wasted over 1 small thing

[reef iron]

PyMongo isn't async. Try Motor, the async lib for Mongo.

@wraith finch ^

[wraith finch]

huh alright, my friend just uses async and he says that it works for him

[reef iron]

I should note that if your DB queries are well optimised, you don't need Motor. PyMongo works perfectly.

[wraith finch]

okay ty

[reef iron]

No worries

[slender lintel]

Hey, how i can create a count? Not 1, 2, 3, 4.. count only one number example: 23 User. i hope to understand this

    for user in ctx.guild.members:
        if user.status != discord.Status.offline:
            print(user)

[crimson gale]

variables

[slender lintel]

yeah but how ?

[ornate spade]

make a list and use len()

[crimson gale]

or that

[slender lintel]

so?

    for user in ctx.guild.members:
        if user.status != discord.Status.offline:
            print(len(user))

[sudden path]

Yeah that's not how it works

[slender lintel]

i have see it

[slender lintel]

how then its works?

[sudden path]

I'm pretty sure for loops, lists and variables are basic python

[crimson gale]

^

simple solution

learn more python

and improve your problem solving skills

[slender lintel]

and then i am a superhero?

[slender lintel]

so i know how i create a list but a if is dont working in a variable (list)

[sudden path]

What

[slender lintel]

How what?

[crimson gale]

your sentence is confusing

[slender lintel]

why?

[slender lintel]

i know im not the best in english

[sudden path]

Use the translator then

[slender lintel]

Ok

[slender lintel]

So I know how to create a list, but you can't write an if query in a list as far as I know, or am I wrong?

[ornate spade]

[item for item in list if condition]

like [n for n in range(11) if n != 5]

[jolly belfry]

HEY

oops

why do i need to unistall discord.py to install pycord?

[crimson gale]

because they both use the same namespace and having both installed breaks everything

[jolly belfry]

oh ok

[rose shard]

well I'm continuing my bot and gotta make a battle system
So before that i gotta make an inventory so can ya help me and give some pointers of how should i proceed

[sudden path]

Its like. You first try doing something and ask here if you encounter any issues.

[rose shard]

alrighty

[frank moon]

why is the @discord.default_permissions(moderate_members=True) not working in my slash command? the user literally has no role/permissions to run the cmd

[analog elk]

How do I get a bot to return a message like this, where only the user can see it and they get the opportunity to dismiss it? I googled around, and looked in the documentation and couldnt find anything on it, although I might have just missed it.

[slow dome]

await ctx.respond(content=“this is a response”, ephemeral=True)```

[analog elk]

thank you!!

[ancient gazelle]

what is ephemeral supposed to mean here?

[sudden path]

Only the user who executed the command can see it.

[ancient gazelle]

If it is set to false, everyone with perms will be able to see right?

[gilded widget]

everyone who can view messages in that channel will be able to see it, yes

[ancient gazelle]

Also, how do I send Embeds?

[gilded widget]

await ctx.respond(embed=discord.Embed(title="test", description="test"))

[inland acorn]

just use its async branch: motor

its the same from inside but can be used with await

it works perf fine and my bot is verified

[solar berry]

Is there a way to fetch a ton of random users from discord (tryna make a discriminator collector cuz dyno's stopped working)

[idle linden]

AttributeError: module 'discord.commands' has no attribute 'group'

I call bs

should I not be using the alpha/master right now?

[idle linden]

or is something screwed up in my venv

[inner iris]

You could just generate random 18-digit numbers and use them as ID to fetch random users.

[humble marsh]

Question, what does AppInfo Module do? and how does it work?

[storm burrow]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

Using discord.TextChannel in slash command and fetching channel name with it throws this error. Anyone knows why?

[frank moon]

why is the @discord.default_permissions(moderate_members=True) not working in my slash command? the user literally has no role/permissions to run the cmd

[rose shard]

How can i get the time on which my embed was created at

[crimson isle]

how to install pycord on vps without any error?

py-cord==2.0.0b5

[upbeat hill]

how can you keep buttons working after a restart of the bot?

[crimson coral]

i mean... dyno's only worked because the bot was in so many servers

and even then they said it was unreliable and removed it (though i wouldn't be surprised if there were other reasons)

the chances of you generating a random number and it being a real user is very low, so I wouldn't bother; you can only really work with users your bot can see

[crimson coral]

message.created_at

[crimson coral]

what version are you on

[supple ravine]

Here's the persistent example.

[crimson coral]

@upbeat hill refer to the above example

[rose shard]

Thank you

It worked too

[upbeat hill]

thank you

[crimson coral]

await bot.application_info() will return an discord.AppInfo object that has info about the application the bot belongs to that you created on the devportal
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.AppInfo

[storm burrow]

development version i think
Version: 2.0.0b7

[crimson coral]

update to 2.0.0rc1

[storm burrow]

Okay

Thanks, it works now..

[warm tundra]

    global lmao
    id=doc.guild.id
    lol=f"select sprefix from servers where sid={id}"
    mycursor.execute(lol)
    lmao=mycursor.fetchone()[0]```

so i want to call this function but it gives an error saying doc is missing and i can't provide a value for doc as it's the context nor can i remove it as it is required for variable id 

so how do i call the function???

[storm burrow]

cus_prefix(ctx)

[frank moon]

what does this do/mean?

[frigid lark]

Text Channels and Voice Channels

like #general is a Text Channel

[frank moon]

i need to have that in order for Union[] to work?

[frigid lark]

no

you can use

channel: discord.TextChannel

[frank moon]

what if i want 2?

discord.TextChannel and discord.VoiceChannel

[frank moon]

?

[frigid lark]

Im not sure if it fixed

[frigid lark]

you dont need it in the []

[frank moon]

yeah there's an error TypeError: issubclass() arg 1 must be a class.

[frank moon]

?? wdym

Union[discord.TextChannel, discord.VoiceChannel]

[warm tundra]

wouldn't make a difference ig

[storm burrow]

doc is the parameter and you'll be passing ctx as the argument. So doc.guild.id will become ctx.guild.id

[warm tundra]

it just says ctx is not defined

[storm burrow]

Show your whole code if possible.

[storm burrow]

You need to call the cus_prefix(ctx) function inside the command.

[warm tundra]

like in each and every one???

[storm burrow]

That's up to you in which commands and where do you wanna use it.

But you can't pass ctx to it unless you call it inside the command.

[warm tundra]

it sets the prefix so won't i have to use it in every cmd

[warm tundra]

still doesn't work

error which occurs is

lmao is not defined

i added cus_prefix(doc) in evrery cmd and changed command_prefix to lmao

[storm burrow]

@warm tundra
Try like this:

def prefix(bot, ctx):
    #Some code here to check prefix

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefix, intents=intents)```

[warm tundra]

in short it's of none type

[finite cliff]

[storm burrow]

You need to return the prefix as string and it should not return None

[warm tundra]

so str()???

[storm burrow]

Update your lib version to 2.0.0rc1

[storm burrow]

Even if you return in str it should return some value and not None

[warm tundra]

k

[finite cliff]

what is command for that?

[storm burrow]

pip install py-cord==2.0.0rc1

[finite cliff]

still error sir

[storm burrow]

Idk then that's what fixed for me when I was getting that error

[warm tundra]

uh

cmd doesn't run and there's no error]

also

this is the value of str(cus_prefix)

<function cus_prefix at 0x0000026CA2CDD240>

[storm burrow]

show your function code which fetches and returns prefix

[humble marsh]

Oh Thanks, Nelo Can it be used to alter the application?

[crimson coral]

i don't think so

if im not mistaken most stuff on the devportal requires a bearer token and isn't exposed to being edited via the api

how do i get rid of this error when using a button to delete a channel

[inner iris]

does it delete the channel or does it just throw the error.
And pls show us your code...

[upbeat hill]

it deletes it but throws the error

[paper schooner]

Unable to get repr for <class 'discord.message.Message'>
Why is this error? I enabled the "message intent" on the developer site, but can't get the message content

[inner iris]

actually I can't help you here. I'm not (yet) really familiar with buttons etc.

[upbeat hill]

no worries, im thinking it is a timing issue

[upbeat hill]

do you know how to make a incrementor for tickets?

[inner iris]

what do you mean?

[upbeat hill]

like ticket- 0001
ticket - 0002
etc

[inner iris]

what about a simple file where the current incrementor gets stored and read from?

[upbeat hill]

no idea how to use external file

[inner iris]

well then learn python xD

Now that we have Permissions V2. How can I force a command to only work when they have X role?

[inner iris]

https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_file_handling.asp

[vagrant mortar]

Regardless what a server owner might set the permissions to?

[inner iris]

@commands.has_role() decorator

[vagrant mortar]

basically what I'm asking

What are the new methods for is_owner and has_roles

[crimson gale]

^ which is a check, permissions v2 cant do this

[inner iris]

they still work

don't they?

[crimson gale]

they do

they raise errors so they work regardless

[vagrant mortar]

I beg to differ? 😛

[crimson gale]

from the commands extension

    message_group = discord.SlashCommandGroup(
        "message",
        "Interactions the bot can perform on its own messages.",
        default_member_permissions=discord.Permissions(administrator=True),
    )

Is this how one would set permissions v2 checks?
If not, how else and if, why doesn't it work on my server? No error, just still shows up to users that don't have the permission.

[surreal nimbus]

I think the default_member_permissions is a list, so try using default_member_permissions=[administrator=True]

I honestly don't know

it may be a tuple too

tias ig

[inner iris]

nope, didn't work

sadly there is nothing in the docs about this...

[obsidian garnet]

[languid ruin]

Is it possible to list all available slash_commands with for X in X

[inner iris]

the docs are your friend. Use them.

[inner iris]

try for command in bot.commands

[languid ruin]

this is for text commands

but nevermind, I found the solution

    for application_command in client.application_commands:
        print(application_command)```

Isn't discord.File a class?

I can't use it as a type for option()

a File is different

revoke their Send Message permissions?

Hi, does someone know to reload slash command choices for a user without reloading the whole bot?

without a cog btw

like I want custom choices for each user and add new choice without reloading the whole bot

is it possible?

[slate stirrup]

Can I have the examples bots GitHub link pls

[hollow moth]

Is there any way I can make a message_command (ran from the context menu) silent? So it doesn't respond/ responds with an ephemeral message then deletes it

[rose shard]

How do i remove the button after clicking it once with discord-components (cuz my pc sux and i cannot move to discord.py 2.0)

[ornate spade]

this isn't the discord-components support server.

[ornate spade]

you can defer the interaction or just not do anything but the user would see "The application did not respond."

[rose shard]

alright

[hollow moth]

Ok thanks.

[clever lava]

how do i 24/7 host my bot with visual studio code?

im tired of replit

look for a cheap bot hoster, you'll find many if you just use google...
Or do you mean free hosting?

[clever lava]

um

i use uptimerobot

its free

and to run it i use flask server

but if i turn my pc off for logic reasons the flask server file will not be running anymore

then 24/7 host in visual studio code is complicated

        await ctx.respond(f"The RP date is {io.load_rpdate(ctx.guild_id)}.")

Is this well written? I can't help but think there are way too many decorators for this to be written properly

[zealous vapor]

How do I get the user from ctx

[idle linden]

ctx.user or ctx.author

one of those

[warm jungle]

hey yall

how do i make it so a dropdown timeout sends a message

[sudden path]

on_timeout event

How do I make something like this

where it says "Only you can see this"

[gilded widget]

use the ephemeral parameter

How can I get my bot to reply to webhooks?
Like the webhook says "?help"
and the bot replys with all commands

[alpine totem]

my buttons timeout after a certain amount of time and returns interaction failed, how do I make it so it never times out?

[supple ravine]

Here's the persistent example.

[analog elk]

Is it possible to get a bot to use a slash command by sending a message? or is the only way to get a bot to use a command through sending a message to use prefix commands?

[south ermine]

there's on_message but I don't recommend it

[analog elk]

i want to get carlbot to periodically use a slash command

[south ermine]

yeah you can't call a slash command from another bot

[analog elk]

Quite annoying innit

is that an intentional limitation from Discord or has it just not been implemented?

[mint quiver]

Quick question: does discord.Option(discord.SlashCommandOptionType.user) always return an instance of discord.Member?

EDIT: Yup, they are

[mint quiver]

Slash commands are not processed like regular messages

[slow dome]

it's intentional

[finite cliff]

can anyone help?

[mint quiver]

is your bot a discord.Client?

If you are using a discord.Client it will not work with regular commands, only application (slash) commands

Change your bot object to a discord.ext.commands.Bot

[grave hollow]

my bot does not respond

[slow dome]

try enabling the message_content and messages intent

in your dev portal and code

[grave hollow]

And just a simple send hello

and it won't

With slash it gave missing access

[slow dome]

?tag missing_access

[hearty rain]

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

To fix that, just replace YOUR_BOT_ID with your bot id and visit this link: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_BOT_ID&scope=applications.commands

[grave hollow]

same

[grave hollow]

It didn't show up on the server

Bruh

He appeared

[analog elk]

how do I get a channel ID from a database saved to my PC into a loop to send it to that specific channel?

because i have a loop and i want it to send messages to a channel set by users in a guild and the users in the guild can choose

so for each guild it's a different channel ID and a different interval of sending the message

[grave hollow]

Idk

?tag method not allowed

[hearty rain]

[grave hollow]

Now gave method not allowed

bruh

[mint quiver]

Run a task that polls the entries from some database

Iterate over the entries

[analog elk]

That would work to send a message to each of the channels in the database all at the same time

but what about having a different interval for each guild?

[mint quiver]

Then store the interval in your database..?

use thread.sleep

You can sleep the task, it'll block

await asyncio.sleep

[analog elk]

where would i put that? in the @tasks.loop() function?

[mint quiver]

Yep.

If the intervals are regular, you can sort items with similar intervals together

then send out all the messages simultaneously too

[analog elk]

I am a bit shaky on how the looping itself works so i'll send you my implementation of that which will probably be incorrect

    @tasks.loop()
    async def advance_date(self):
        for guild_id in io.get_guilds():
            
            rpdate = io.load_rpdate(guild_id)

            if rpdate is not None and rpdate.channel is not None:
                channel = await self.bot.fetch_channel(rpdate.channel)
                await sleep(rpdate.advancement_freq)
                channel.send(f"The RP date is {rpdate}.")

I don't really understand how this would send it at different intervals for each guild

[mint quiver]

^

sort them together

you could use a direct access array

for each interval, just store all the servers that need said interval in a linkedlist

For example

Guild A,B interval: 60s
Guild C,D,E interval: 65s
Guild F interval: 70s

ok wait hold on

Ok yeah sorry my method won't work

You can construct the Loop object manually, then add them to the task queue

[analog elk]

no worries\

[mint quiver]

Construct the loop object and add them to the task queue

[analog elk]

I do not know how to do that but i will research how to do it

hello, how can I create a loop that occures every day at midnight?

[slow dome]

 @tasks.loop(time=time(3, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc))  # Task that runs every day at 3 AM UTC
    async def time_task(self):
        channel = self.get_channel(1234567)  # Your Channel ID goes here
        await channel.send("It's 3 AM!")

    @time_task.before_loop
    async def before_my_task(self):

bridge commands don't seem to work

if I use ctx.respond it says ```py

if I use ctx.reply it says the same but for applications commands

Your channel returned None.

[shell bobcat]

Is it possible to deny users from interacting with buttons?

[sudden path]

Check user's ID'S

[crimson coral]

you can override the view's interaction_check method to apply a check to all items in the view

[humble talon]

if interaction.user.id != <your_id>:
    return

[shell bobcat]

And how'd I do that

[crimson coral]

are you subclassing?

[shell bobcat]

I was already thinking of adding a user id check, but I've over 80 buttons so couldn't be the most efficient way

[crimson coral]

or are you just doing view = discord.ui.View(...)

[shell bobcat]

view = View()

[crimson coral]

define a interaction check function

async def some_name(interaction):
    ... # Return True if valid

then just set view.interaction_check = some_name

this is always called before any of the callbacks, if it returns false the button's callback won't run at all

[crimson coral]

your max_time is in the future, so created < max_time is always true

i think you want current_timestamp - 3600; then < max_time is more and > max_time is less

(also you don't need timegm, you can just do date = datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp())

1. too many brackets on that top line

Yea I know, I was looking at them for a while

But yea, sorry man

[rose ruin]

Still normal cmds aren't working in bridges while using ctx.respond and if I use ctx.reply or ctx.send it wont work for application commands

[gentle crag]

Is there a way to call something else from a dictionary if key = value? Using the page dict(0) method is fine if I already know the dictionary. But what if I’m looking in one with like 2000 results and I just want the “name” where “color” = red

[rose ruin]

Update: Fixed

try:
            send = ctx.respond
        except:
            send = ctx.reply

[south ermine]

doesn't bridge add a new method that does that logic for you

[slender lintel]

Hey, how can I display what was clicked or added (in the select menu)?
Tried it with interaction.values, but it didn't work..

[crimson coral]

they keep receiving the regular Context object when they run the prefix version for some reason

i feel like this had a pr before but i might be wrong

[south ermine]

yeah I remember this issue before

[crimson coral]

if you can directly reference your original select menu's variable, you can check select.values
otherwise, access interaction.data["values"]

[ornate fog]

Maybe this is a dump question but can you ping roles i interaction responses ?
I have a hard time doing so

[crimson coral]

uhhh yeah it should work fine

[ornate fog]

hmmmmmm

[crimson coral]

what were you trying

[rose stratus]

i doing a script that scan a lot of servers and if found a match send a match but if doesnt just give me a error can i make so when doesnt find send a error message

[south ermine]

if allowed_mentions lets you, yes

[ornate fog]

By what is this defined ?

[crimson coral]

just have a variable that starts as False and turns True if you find a match...?

[ornate fog]

@slash_command(guild_ids=ConfigManager.get_debug_guild_when_debug())
    async def ping_me(self, ctx, p: Option(discord.Role)):
        await ctx.respond(p.mention)

It writes the mention just fine but i dont get the yellow background

[crimson coral]

does your bot have permissions to mention the role?

[rose stratus]

ok thanks

[ornate fog]

this is enabled so yea

[crimson coral]

and you definitely have the role you entered

[south ermine]

webhook messages (which is what ctx.respond sends) are different

[ornate fog]

100% sure

[crimson coral]

oh that's interesting

apparently .respond can't mention roles

[south ermine]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=respond#discord.SyncWebhook.send

[slender lintel]

Hmm thanks,
and how i can mention a role with this?

[south ermine]

also can't @ here
