discord.Option

gimme a sec

[sleek grove]

yes

[slender lintel]

Cant find what i needed, I am trying to make a bot stats command basicly, but dont know how id get the amount of servers its in, the ping ect

[gilded widget]

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

should help

[desert dagger]

^^^

[sleek grove]

thx

[gilded widget]

servers: len(bot.guilds)
ping: bot.latency

[desert dagger]

kinda amusing

how theres a lot of ways of doing the same thing

[slender lintel]

ty, Where would i find more infomation on this for other aspects of it such as non related bot info but server info like member count server name ct

ect*

[gilded widget]

docs

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

[half marsh]

[desert dagger]

uhh

are you looking for a server info or bot info command?

or both

[gilded widget]

and examples

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/tree/master/examples

[slender lintel]

both

[desert dagger]

you gotta realise you have to read the docs and create a template for it like an embed or a string with the info

[slender lintel]

I know, I just dont know what part of the docs to check

thats all im asking

[desert dagger]

Well

[gilded widget]

well look through the docs and see if you can find what you need

also yeah that exists

[desert dagger]

lets say i want the guilds's profile

[gilded widget]

if you can't find something then ppl can help here

[desert dagger]

you kinda just search, read a bit and go "is this what i need?" and then try it out. You gotta read it carefully and try to understand the info it tells you. Theres multiple ways of doing something

[slender lintel]

@bot.command()
async def stats(ctx):
await ctx.send('My ping is bot.latency')
It just sends it as a normal message not showing its ping, adding it as {bot.latency} dosent change it

[gilded widget]

needs to be an f-string

[desert dagger]

f'{bot.latency}' btw

[lucid cove]

yo how would i fetich the message.author's icon_url

or avatar_url

[gilded widget]

await ctx.send(f"My ping is {bot.latency}.")

[desert dagger]

b!rtfm pyc icon_url

[open bear]

Best matches for icon_url in pyc

discord.on_guild_role_create
discord.on_guild_role_delete
discord.on_guild_role_update
discord.Widget.json_url
discord.Widget.invite_url
discord.DMChannel.jump_url
discord.Attachment.proxy_url
discord.SyncWebhook.from_url
discord.TextChannel.jump_url
discord.GroupChannel.jump_url

[desert dagger]

ok nvm

[lucid cove]

cuz in dpy u have

message.author.avatar_url

but thats not a thing in pycord

i tried searhcing for an alternative

[gilded widget]

avatar.url

[lucid cove]

but pycord only got .avatar

[desert dagger]

its .url

author.avatar.url

[lucid cove]

is that a thing?

[gilded widget]

yes

[lucid cove]

yea nvm

[desert dagger]

xd it happens

[gilded widget]

avatar is https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Asset which has a url attribute

[slender lintel]

oh alr thanks

[desert dagger]

do you prefer being called jack? xd

foolish seems pretty insulting

[desert dagger]

dont wanna be mean but try looking into: https://www.w3schools.com/python/

Im sorta new to python but i actually struggled 60% way less due to checking this out for a bit and looking at the examples

[gilded widget]

agreed, its best to learn python before jumping straight into a not so easy library

[slender lintel]

Yeah, I dont mind but i agree foolish can seem insulting xD

[slender lintel]

alright

thanks

[desert dagger]

we're happy to help you learn but its always better to try learning the language

[sleek grove]

doesnt't works

[desert dagger]

discord bot making is fun but no need to run before you crawl

[desert dagger]

what doesnt work?

[gilded widget]

^^ gotta be a bit more specific than that

[sleek grove]

it isn't showing anything

[slender lintel]

is this right btw

[lucid cove]

@gilded widget since it seems u know what ur doing

[sleek grove]

you have to round it

[lucid cove]

is it possible that the bot responds to a slash command while pinging the user

[sleek grove]

await ctx.respond('🏓 Pong! ' + format(round(bot.latency, 1)))

[gilded widget]

list_of_files = []
for i in range (0, 8):
  list_of_files.append(discord.File(f"image_{i}.jpg", filename=f"image_{i}.jpg")
await ctx.channel.send(files=list_of_files)

[slender lintel]

Thanks

[slender lintel]

Thanks

[gilded widget]

might not work 100% but should be close

[sleek grove]

._.

[desert dagger]

code?

[sleek grove]

wait

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=guild_id)
@option("fds", description="Choose if the user have to get upranked or downranked", choices=["uprank", "downrank"])
async def rankfgh(ctx, member: Option(discord.Member)):
    moderator = get(member.guild.roles, id=896705950742880310)
    await member.add_roles(moderator)
    await member.edit(nick=f"スルサップ | {member.name}")
    channel = bot.get_channel(937062067825942549)
    embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{member.name}", color=0x3264a1)
    embed.add_field(name=f"{member.name} is now a mod", value="cvb")
    await channel.send(embed=embed)```

[desert dagger]

add this around it
```python
code
```

[sleek grove]

done.

[desert dagger]

hm

[lucid cove]

btw

i have a balance command

currently it is run by doing /bal or ?bal

however i want to run by /balance or ?balance as well

is it possible to do this in a quick and clean way

without having to copy paste the code and make it from bal to balance

i tried making it so name = 'bal' or 'balance' but that doesnt work i guess

[gilded widget]

set your option like this:
@option("fds", discord.Member, description="Choose if the user have to get upranked or downranked", choices=["uprank", "downrank"])
and the function signature:
async def rankfgh(ctx, member: discord.Member):

[slender lintel]

@gilded widget py if get_images_from_backend(prompt): list_of_files = [] for i in range (0, 8): list_of_files.append(discord.File(f"image_{i}.jpg", filename=f"image_{i}.jpg") break await ctx.channel.send()

This isn't right, right?

[desert dagger]

bridge

[gilded widget]

was there an error?

[desert dagger]

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/bridge/

[lucid cove]

in other words?

[gilded widget]

you didnt add the files to the send but otherwise it should work?

[slender lintel]

Cause the loop hasn't been break, ctx.send comes under it right?
It's saying invalid syntax for break.

[sleek grove]

Nothing...

[desert dagger]

if you want another way you can try this

[gilded widget]

yes, not sure why you'd need a break statement, get rid of that?

[desert dagger]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=guild_id)
async def rankfgh(ctx, member: discord.Option(discord.Member),fds:discord.Option(str, 'fds', choices = [discord.OptionChoice(name="uprank", value="uprank"),discord.OptionChoice(name="downrank", value="downrank")])):
  pass

[gilded widget]

oh wait you want both options

[sleek grove]

yes

[gilded widget]

yeah you shouldn't and im not sure if you can crossmix the option types

[lucid cove]

not what i meant but still helpful

for example

[desert dagger]

didnt you want slash and prefix command?

[lucid cove]

i want /bal and /balance to do the same thing

[gilded widget]

yeah looks like you want aliases

[sleek grove]

works thanks

[desert dagger]

^^

[gilded widget]

you cant do that with slash commands

[desert dagger]

alias is the word

[lucid cove]

true

[gilded widget]

unless you create a different command with the same code

[lucid cove]

can i do it with normal ones tho?

[desert dagger]

is the await in a async function?

[gilded widget]

prefixed? yes

[lucid cove]

how

[slender lintel]

Yes

[desert dagger]

are you sure you indented it right?

[slender lintel]

async def dallemini(ctx, prompt):
  await ctx.respond("Please wait... ⏳/nIf it doesn't upload your images then something went wrong, in that case, try again in some time.", ephemeral  = True)
  if get_images_from_backend(prompt):
    list_of_files = []
    for i in range(0, 8):
      list_of_files.append(discord.File(f"image_{i}.jpg", filename=f"image_{i}.jpg")
    await ctx.channel.send()

[gilded widget]

when you define the decorator for the prefix command put aliases=[your aliases here] in the decorator

[lucid cove]

eh

i think ima just copy paste

[desert dagger]

bad habit tbh

[lucid cove]

and use bridge_command

yea ik it is thats why i asked

but sometimes u gotta do what u gotta do

[desert dagger]

trust me lmfao

[slender lintel]

@desert dagger

[desert dagger]

i once wrote spaghetti code then had to refactor it 3 times

[lucid cove]

i mean whats an alternative

[desert dagger]

does the console say anything specifically?

[sleek grove]

and how can i do "if uprank ..."

[slender lintel]

Just this

[desert dagger]

one sec

[slender lintel]

okk

[desert dagger]

i dont really see a syntax error

can you change files=list_of_files to something like "test" then run code

[slender lintel]

The whole code.

[lucid cove]

i guess u gotta use ctx.reply or ctx.respond

or else ull have to do ctx.message.channel.send i think

[slender lintel]

I don't think that will make a difference

[sleek grove]

?

[lucid cove]

idk i might be trippin

[slender lintel]

No, default ones run fine with pycord

[slender lintel]

aight wait

same error

[desert dagger]

whats the error?

[sleek grove]

...

[desert dagger]

if fds == "uprank"??

[lucid cove]

ok this might be hard to answer

but either way

is there a way for the bot to recognize that a command has been typed

for example

i currently have an event listener that adds xp to the user on_message

however this doesn't work with slash commands

since slash commands dont count as messages

how can i overcome this?

[desert dagger]

your own command or

other peoples commands?

[lucid cove]

yes

my own

[desert dagger]

you probs could just add it in the code or use a custom event

[lucid cove]

how

[sleek grove]

thx

[slender lintel]

When I remove for loop for files it works.

[lucid cove]

is there an on_command thing or what

[desert dagger]

alright

[slender lintel]

so something is not right with the loop

[desert dagger]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#event-reference
dont think so

oh wait

on_application_command and on_application_command_completion

why do you loop thru 0,8?

[lucid cove]

there is also on_interaction

[desert dagger]

mhm

[slender lintel]

Cause there are 8 files, tho I didn't baronkobama wrote

[desert dagger]

ahh

i was gonna say why not use len() but then i realised

you just hard limit 8

[slender lintel]

yeah

[desert dagger]

maybe try adding a print to see whats stored in the array

[slender lintel]

alright

I can't run the command until that error ah

@gilded widget

Can you help?

[lucid cove]

why this no work

ctx.message.created_at.second

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

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Message.created_at

its here tho

[slender lintel]

Why am i getting, Unknown event GUILD_APPLICATION_COMMAND_INDEX_UPDATE.

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send(f'My ping is ' + format(round(bot.latency, 1)))

[vagrant mortar]

Is it possible for the builtin autocomplete to ONLY show Threads?

or am I hard-stuck on ALL channels?

[sleek grove]

why it isn't working?

*no error

[slender lintel]

Did it give the roles?

[steady lotus]

Is it possible to manually create a command using initialising, not through the decorator

[sleek grove]

yes

[vagrant mortar]

because you NEED to respond to the command.

[slender lintel]

Then add await ctx.respond('I have given the roles')

or whatever msg u want

[slender lintel]

^^^

[slender lintel]

anyone know?

[vagrant mortar]

need more information than just that.

[sleek grove]

but the embed isn't sending too

[slender lintel]

I gave the code and the error, what more do u need lol

[slender lintel]

Try change channel.send to ctx.send

[vagrant mortar]

what does format() do?

[sleek grove]

no because it have to be in channel

[slender lintel]

the format is adding the latency im p sure

[vagrant mortar]

await ctx.send(f'My ping is {round(bot.latency, 1)}')

[slender lintel]

its still going to send in that channel

[vagrant mortar]

try this instead.

[slender lintel]

alr

What is it with ".joined_at"

If i ping a user (with the command, everything works fine and i am able to access .joined_at. however if i use the command with a ID, i am able to access every other attribute in the video except ".joined_at"

[vagrant mortar]

you are misusing format (hence why I asked)

[slender lintel]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: can only concatenate str (not
"float") to str

[vagrant mortar]

are you sure you are using the line I send ? 🤔

[slender lintel]

Yeah

[vagrant mortar]

otherwise add str() around the round()

[slender lintel]

1 sec

[vagrant mortar]

it really shouldn't need that, but 🤷

[slender lintel]

Thanks, It worked without this part just messed up a bit lol

[vagrant mortar]

let me guess, you still had the + in? 😛

[slender lintel]

yes xD

What would i do to make the bot delete '!say Hello' once its sent the message

What's wrong here?

[slender lintel]

Do want a timer? like deleting it after 2 secs when send?

[slender lintel]

Just want to delete after the bot sends the input

    await ctx.send('Hello', delete_after=2)

[slender lintel]

wouldnt this just delete after 2s, and not after its sent

you want to delete it instantly?

basicly yeah

await ctx.message.delete()```

Add this after ctx.send

alr

async def say(ctx, message):
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
        await ctx.send(message)
        await ctx.message.delete()
    else:
        await ctx.respond('You do not have the correct permissions for this')``` dosent seem to delete tho

[paper harbor]

So i'm working on github for now and I have this piece of code which half my discord bot depends on (it gives the code access to the project files to find a specific json file). This piece of code currently doesn't work because I'm running it with github (heroku) and I don't know the github file path. so my question is: what is the github file path.

[slender lintel]

Ahh

    await ctx.send('Hello', delete_after=0.1)```
just do this

[slender lintel]

Would this still work if i had it as, await ctx.send(message, delete_after=0.1)

cause its not hello im sending, Its the input after !say

Yes, it should

Alright

[slender lintel]

I mean it works but it deletes the bots message instead of the members

Oh you wanna delete the authors message?

yeah, sorry

[slender lintel]

How would i do that?

is it like ctx.author.delete or smth?

[slender lintel]

This should have worked, what error did it gave?

[slender lintel]

No error, It works but deletes the bot message instead of the authors

@slender lintel

Trying doing this

        await ctx.message.delete(ctx.message)

[slender lintel]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: Message.delete() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Dosent delete it

await message.delete()```

do this, don't add ctx

[steady lotus]

you mean

do

await ctx.message.delete()```

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Message.delete

[slender lintel]

that's what I told at first. They said it isn't working

[slender lintel]

I changed it back to this, then gave the bot admin to see if thats the issue now if i do !say Hello it will say Hello then if i do !say Hi it will say Hi Hello

Whys it saying all the messages??

[steady lotus]

idk

[slender lintel]

bruh

[paper harbor]

what's the problem?

[slender lintel]

Ill show you what im trying to do

[paper harbor]

ok

[slender lintel]

async def say(ctx, message):
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
        await ctx.send(message)
    else:
        await ctx.respond('You do not have the correct permissions for this')```

I want the !say (message) to delete after the bot sends the input

[paper harbor]

doesn't ctx.message.delete work?

[mental rampart]

ye it does

[sleek grove]

?

[slender lintel]

It deletes the bot's message, I want to delete the members command

[slender lintel]

You were told

[paper harbor]

no, do it before you send the bot message

[slender lintel]

@slender lintel did it work?

Nope dosent delete it

async def say(ctx, message):
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
        ctx.message.delete()
        await ctx.send(message)
    else:
        await ctx.respond('You do not have the correct permissions for this')```

[steady lotus]

does the bot have the permisison to delete messages

[slender lintel]

add await before ctx.message.delete

[slender lintel]

Its got admin

[slender lintel]

alr

[slender lintel]

This deletes it but its back to sending multiple messages so Hi Hello

[slender lintel]

Like it keeps sending forever?

[slender lintel]

ill show u 1 sec

[slender lintel]

async def say(ctx,*, message):
```Do this too

[sleek grove]

it wasn't that you told me but thanks for trying to help me

[slender lintel]

It was kind of me.. but sure

[slender lintel]

Send the traceback for it.

[sleek grove]

i whas to stupid to name a variable the same that i wrote it

[paper harbor]

do you have a bot.event detecting a message containing "hi"?

[slender lintel]

Your command is like an echo command.

[sleek grove]

How can I delete all but two roles not?

[slender lintel]

I dont

[slender lintel]

Correct

[slender lintel]

What?

This makes no sense

[slender lintel]

How it sends 'Hi' and "Hello", when you didn't used 'Hi'?

[slender lintel]

Exactly, I typed !say hi then it sends
Hi
Hello
Hi
hello

Bruh wth

that's weird

:(

[slender lintel]

@bot.command()
async def say(ctx, *,args):
   if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
        await ctx.send(args)
        await ctx.message.delete()
    else:
        await ctx.send("You do not have the correct permissions for this.")```

Change your code to this and try again.

[sleek grove]

remove all roles from a user but only two roles not

[slender lintel]

'Args is not defined'

[paper harbor]

remove all roles and then add those two roles

[paper harbor]

replace args with message

[slender lintel]

async def say(ctx, *,args):
``` did you do this?

yes

Just copy paste what I sent above

nvm

im dumb it changed cos ctrl z

xD

:|

[slender lintel]

worked or not?

[slender lintel]

Thanks! After all this its worked xD

[sleek grove]

ok i say it easyer

how to remove all roles from a user

[pure lake]

await member.remove_roles(member.roles)

theoretically i think that will work

then you can add the other two after you want to

[sleek grove]

thx

i test it

[sleek grove]

doesn't works

[slender lintel]

async def dm(ctx,member: discord.Member,*, message): 
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
         await member.send(message)
         await ctx.delete()
    await message.respond("I have dmed them!", ephemeral=False)```
How would i delete the !dm (user) (message) for this one? It keeps not working on every one lol

[pure lake]

probs bc member.roles is a list

[paper harbor]

What is a Github repository's file path? (i'm using os.chdir("FILE_PATH") to give a file access to a json file)

[pure lake]

@sleek grove remove the everyone role then try removing all the others w the previous code

[slender lintel]

anyone know?

[sleek grove]

i don't know what you mean

[pure lake]

every user has a hidden 'everyone' role, remove that and then remove others w your code

amay work

[keen root]

try await member.remove_roles(member.roles[1:])

[slender lintel]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'respond'

         await ctx.send("I have dmed them!")
         await ctx.message.delete()

should work

[slender lintel]

didnt work

this is the same isnt it

[sleek grove]

isn't working

[slender lintel]

Thats not deleting it though...

oh

only user sees it i didnt notice u set to true

Ill give that a try

[sleek grove]

hm i go to bed bb

[keen root]

bye

[slender lintel]

Why whenever i add the else:
await ctx.respond('You do not have the correct permisisons') it always gives me error expected expression

File "C:\Users\jackd\Documents\Felbcord Py\main.py", line 53
else:
^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

@slender lintel

I dont get the 'I have Dmed them'

but it does dm

[pure lake]

think this cld be bc when the dm is sent then the ctx is taken as being in the users dm so you may want to find a way to ensure that the 'i have dmed them' is sent in the orginal channel e.g using its id

or you could change the order around

[slender lintel]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\jackd\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\bot.py", line 344, in invoke
await ctx.command.invoke(ctx)

[slender lintel]

wym?

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Context' object has no attribute 'respond'

[slender lintel]

this too

[pure lake]

probably wrong but ctx informs of the channel and what not but it might be that when the dm is sent then the ctx changes to the user's dm rather than original channel so then the 'ctx.respond' won't work as desired. like i said i am 85% sure what i'm saying is wrong but a theory xd

[slender lintel]

alr

[pure lake]

produces the possibility of a false result being given tho

but shld work ig

[slender lintel]

im dming my alt with it so i know if it goes wrong

[pure lake]

if being interpreted the positive indicator of 'i have dmed them' cld be given and then the actual sending of dm cld fail

surely

[slender lintel]

im trying now

[pure lake]

anyways whyilst i'm here, how can i take in '1d' as two separate arguments e.g. '1' as a single and 'd' as another

[slender lintel]

dosent dm anymore

[pure lake]

instead of havinf to type '1 d'

[pure lake]

yh so error is with the respond i ebelive then

[slender lintel]

Would changing it to ctx.send work?

[pure lake]

@slender lintel may not b exactly what you want but maybe try and ephermal message of 'user.mention +{message} with ctx.send

ygm

[slender lintel]

I was using slash commands but then i thought it may be better using normal commands (no idea why), Should i be using slash?

[pure lake]

yes

discord prefers them massively

[slender lintel]

alright

woah i didnt know that

i wish i knew before bru]

[keen root]

import re #if you haven't already

separated = re.split("(\d+)", "1d") #replace "1d" with your variable

[pure lake]

alright ty

[slender lintel]

Nah luckily i just spammed ctrl z XD

Btw, Why do sometimes my slash commands just disappear?

And i need to restart the bot for them to re-appear

is it an issue on my side or a discord issue or what?

sometimes every slash command for every bot disappears so i reload discord for that

Probably just my discord bugging out then :(

[keen root]

bye

[slender lintel]

gn

jeez, All my slash commands have registered twice

help

what have i donee

[paper harbor]

probably discord bugging out. Discord bugged out for me a few moments ago so it might be a problem with a discord server (not the server you chat in)

or it might be that you bot got run twice and ended up registering 2x commands

happens to me alot

[slender lintel]

I restarted my bot and it seems to be fine, May just be my discord bugging out Again

[paper harbor]

ye

[slender lintel]

Also do you know how i would have a different line in my message so, ```@bot.slash_command(name="ping", description="Info about bot")
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send(f'My ping is ' + format(round(bot.latency, 1)))

The i want to have like another line for my amount of guilds but it would give errors, is there a way to do it so itll have another line when sent

[paper harbor]

text2lol")```

\n can divide the string and put it on another line

[slender lintel]

ty

[slender lintel]

What do i do to get the other type of /

like what on my keyboard lol

[paper harbor]

isn't there one above the enter key?

[slender lintel]

thats backspace

[paper harbor]

if you don't find it, you could just do Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V

[paper harbor]

you prolly have a different keyboard layout

[slender lintel]

yep

[vagrant mortar]

is there a key next to your Z? (on the left)

[slender lintel]

Oh yeah i see that

\

ooh ty

[frigid lark]

to save stuff use Ctrl + S

[slender lintel]

@bot.slash_command(name="ping", description="Info about bot")
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send(f'My ping is ' + format(round(bot.latency, 1))

what did i mess up there it says ( is not closed

nvm fixed it lol

you can make them persistant

[slow dome]

I think so

[potent rivet]

how do i give my bot an about me?

[midnight cedar]

set an application description in the dev portal

[potent rivet]

ty plun

[steep verge]

Since the current version of jsk doesn’t support pycord, can’t I just downgrade a version till it works with pycord?

[sudden path]

I use jsk and it does support it.

[cunning dragon]

how would i make commands server only rather than dm/server?

PartialMessageable

how to import discord utils ;-;

[twilit cobalt]

getting same error with PycordUtils as well

ImportError: cannot import name 'PartialMessageable' from 'discord.channel'

[lucid cove]

why this no work
ctx.message.created_at.second
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'created_at'
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Message.created_at
its here tho

message does have a created_at attribute

then why is it saying ctx.message is nonetype

[lucid cove]

bruh

any helpers?

[half marsh]

Can you show your code

[lucid cove]

@bot.listen()
async def on_application_command(ctx):
    if ctx.author != bot.user:
        user_egg_id = ctx.author.id
        if bool(mongo.users.find_one({'user_id':user_egg_id})) == False:
            mongo.users.insert_one({'user_id':user_egg_id, 'balance':0, 'xp':10, 'level':1, 'last_message':ctx.created_at.second, 'employment':"unemployed"})

event listener that looks for slash commands

if a slash command is entered and its the users first time using a slash command

it creates a new database entry in mongodb

the database entry includes many properties but the issue i have is with the 'last_message'

i want it to record when the slash command was used

and hence ctx.created_at

[lucid cove]

yo

simple question

can we get the datetime of a slash command?

[slender lintel]

[distant stag]

my slash commands are disappearing after using once
does someone know what could be the problem

[keen root]

your event decorator is inside command

you need to put it outside

[slender lintel]

wym?

[distant stag]

@bot.slash_command(name="say", description="Repeats input")
@commands.cooldown(1, 300, commands.BucketType.user)
async def say(ctx, message):
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
        await ctx.send(message)
    else:
        await ctx.respond('You do not have the correct permissions for this')

@bot.event
async def on_application_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
        await ctx.respond(error)
    else:
        raise error

this is how it should be

[slender lintel]

Alr

[lucid cove]

whats ur code

[distant stag]

its big can't share here

[lucid cove]

the start of the command ur talking about

[distant stag]

    @core.slash_command(name="confess")
    @commands.cooldown(1, 30, commands.BucketType.user)
    async def confess_slash(self, ctx :discord.ApplicationContext):
        """Confess to your heart's content '-'"""
        modal = confess_modal(self.bot)
        await ctx.send_modal(modal)

[lucid cove]

i dont think im qualified enough to ans i guess

[distant stag]

sure np

thanks for trying

[fossil kiln]

guys, is it possible to subclass Bot and define slash commands inside this subclass?

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/subclassing-bots
I tried to follow this guide, but it seems the command isn't registered

[crimson gale]

i think so but it isnt recommended in any way, shape, or form

[fossil kiln]

ok, sad
as I understand, preferred way to do something like this is to create a cog subclass and create a bunch of slash commands inside it using @commands.slash_command
after that you can just load this cog using bot_object.load_extension(f'cogs.{your_cog}')

is this correct?

[crimson gale]

this is the most common way to do it to organize commands into sensible groups

sometimes you dont need all this and you just simply require a @bot.slash_command decorator in the main file

[fossil kiln]

in my opinion, cogs are too powerful to use it just for just one slash command
at the same time, I want to have opportunity to do something like:

from custom_bots import RoleBot

bot = RoleBot()
bot.run('TOKEN')

[crimson gale]

hence why i mentioned this

[fossil kiln]

I understand, but, eh

changing behavior of an object is a bit strange for me

prefer to work with classes

ok, summing up, I need to use cogs, if I want to get some kind of modularity

?

[crimson gale]

yes

[fossil kiln]

thank you

[crimson gale]

dont forget to read up on cog documentation so you know how to make and load one properly

[fossil kiln]

had read this thing
https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/commands/cogs

[crimson gale]

yep thats good

[fossil kiln]

great

by the way, when does the 'newbie' icon usually disappear? :-)

[crimson gale]

i think a week?

[fossil kiln]

understood; thank you again for the explanation

[crimson gale]

its a discord thing btw if you were wondering

[slender lintel]

this looks the same as my current code

[fossil kiln]

https://guide.pycord.dev/getting-started/rules-and-common-practices/#subclassing
in that case, somebody must delete or edit this paragraph, lol

[crimson gale]

i meant making commands in subclasses of bot

[slender lintel]

?

[crimson gale]

you need an error handler

[fossil kiln]

this is the only thing that is described as "good practice" in the guide
this is not a claim to you, but to slightly crumpled docs

[crimson gale]

also your error handler definition is inside of a function

might wanna remove a few levels of indentation

[slender lintel]

i do

i think

        async def on_application_command_error(ctx, error):
            if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
                await ctx.respond(error)
            else:
                    raise error```

[crimson gale]

you do

im tellin you about the fix

[slender lintel]

ook

How do i fix this? My cooldown is having the cooldown on every guild so, for eg i have a cooldown on my test server and its the cooldown on my actual one too

like it isnt seperate cooldowns

[half marsh]

b!rtfm pyc ApplicationContext

[open bear]

Best matches for ApplicationContext in pyc

discord.ApplicationContext
discord.ApplicationContext.bot
discord.ApplicationContext.cog
discord.ApplicationContext.command
discord.ApplicationContext.delete
discord.ApplicationContext.interaction
discord.ApplicationContext.invoke
discord.ApplicationContext.respond
discord.ApplicationContext.selected_options
discord.ApplicationContext.send_modal

[pure lake]

show entire code

[half marsh]

Ig buckettype.user will have a cooldown on that user for all guild

[inland acorn]

quick question: i am using alpha version, whenever changes in the code has been committed in repository, do they update automatically in my pc too? or i need to update it

[lucid cove]

then what?

i tried applicationcontext.interaction

but to no avail

[slender lintel]

why is my bot responding to commands twice?

like this

[lucid cove]

its a bug

just restart the bot

itll go away

[slender lintel]

@lucid cove i restarted it a lot of times but it still doesn't work

[inland acorn]

maybe you are multihosting

[lucid cove]

idk then it used to happen to me

[inland acorn]

and you dont notice

[lucid cove]

i just restart the bot and its fine

[inland acorn]

ok

[slender lintel]

nope i checked it

[lucid cove]

ur hosting it locally right?

restart pc

[slender lintel]

no

[lucid cove]

then shutdown the server and run it again

if ur on repl.it for example

[slender lintel]

you mean restart the server?

[lucid cove]

yes

[inland acorn]

quick question: i am using alpha version, whenever changes in the code has been committed in repository, do they update automatically in my pc too? or i need to update it

[slender lintel]

not working..

[lucid cove]

idk then

[half marsh]

have you tried ctx.interaction.message?

[lucid cove]

yes its a nonetype

[half marsh]

try store the respond message to var, then var.message?

[lucid cove]

but the processes that my code is doing are supposed to be on_message

in other words if i take var.message.datetime it would already be too late

cuz i have to wait for the bot to reply first before doing anything with the code

anyways i think i'll just skip cuz i think there is no solution to this issue

moving on

im trying to implement buttons

and i get this error

_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-label"

for this

btn1 = Button(
            label = "lorem ipsum",
            style = discord.ButtonStyle.primary
        )

[distant stag]

fixed now ?

[lucid cove]

like

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Button.label

its literally label = "str"

why is my code not working

[crimson gale]

well first you have to fix the event indentation

[half marsh]

Wrong import?

[lucid cove]

ie?

nvm i fixed it now

im very dumb sometimes

[half marsh]

Pepega

[slender lintel]

It's from a video it's right

[humble talon]

Most probably not, you'll need to update it manually

[rigid wave]

Why not work in other server only here?

[paper harbor]

I remember seeing the github files for this bot and I saw a restriction on it being used outside of PyCord

so i think you can't rly use it outside this server

[rigid wave]

So why not make it private

[keen root]

works for me

[paper harbor]

guess i'm wrong then

[solar berry]

Is there a way to set the online status of a bot (the Online, DND, Away, Invisible thing, not the custom playing game status)

[gilded widget]

use bot.change_presence and use the status parameter

i.e. bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle)

[slender lintel]

How would I set my bot to a database so it remembers roles

Is there any tutorials

[half marsh]

The basic is pretty much the same as how to make a crud

Theres a ton of tutorial of making a crud on yt

[slender lintel]

alr ty

[slender lintel]

https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/12/20/crud-app-with-python-flask-react

is this good

[half marsh]

Yes ig

[slender lintel]

is it confusing to make a database

[half marsh]

No, you can learn the basic mysql

On w3

[slender lintel]

is that hard

[half marsh]

Depend on how your brain process

jk, is not hard

[slender lintel]

https://brucedev.medium.com/storing-data-in-python-discord-bots-discord-py-pycord-d370689624b is this good too

its a different database

[lucid cove]

yo is there a way to make interaction.response reference the user / message

[half marsh]

Good for learning yes

[lucid cove]

dont use sql db btw

trash

[slender lintel]

for learning, wym?

[lucid cove]

just use mongodb

[slender lintel]

does that work w pycord?

[lucid cove]

that shouldnt matter

yes it does

but u should ask does it work with python not with pycord

[slender lintel]

ook

[tropic fractal]

ok so I tried to create a new thread but discord threw a pissy fit and errored like 6 times then ratelimited me for 5 minutes but anyway

I think group commands (text-based) are completely broken
I think the logic that is being used for slash groups is being applied to regular text-based group commands. See below example:

from discord.ext import commands


class ExampleCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
   
    @commands.group(name="foo", cls=commands.Group)  # I tried the cls= to see if it would fix the issue. Spoiler alert, it didn't.
    async def foo(self, ctx):
        await ctx.reply("foo")

    @foo.command(name="bar", cls=commands.Command)  # cls= doesn't fix here either
    async def foo_bar(self, ctx):
        await ctx.reply("bar")


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(ExampleCog(bot))

Trying to bot.load_extension(ext) yields this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Nexus\PycharmProjects\bumpr-v6\venv\lib\site-packages\discord\cog.py", line 715, in _load_from_module_spec

    parent = lookup[parent.qualified_name]  # type: ignore
KeyError: 'queue'

(Error traces back to the bottom of this function in cog.py: https://h.nexy7574.cyou/pkKtU88f39.py)

I re-installed pycord from git, same issue

Actually should i open an issue on github for this

[humble talon]

You seem to be massively naive about the difference between sql relational and nosql databases, saying one is trash is completely false

For more advanced things, you almost have to use relational databases, NoSQL is good for very small, flat data

[lucid cove]

thats the exact reason i said sql is trash

[humble talon]

How exactly is it trash?

[slender lintel]

So what is the best database for me to use?

[tropic fractal]

guess hastes are dangerous now

[humble talon]

It depends on your use-case, but ignore "bRUH", he doesn't know what he's talking about

[slender lintel]

alright

[humble talon]

You could give SQLite a stab

[slender lintel]

by use case what do u mean by that?

[slender lintel]

alr, aiosqlite?

[humble talon]

Like what you're trying to do @slender lintel

[humble talon]

Yeah, that will run async

[slender lintel]

Like i wanna save roles for eg a mute command i dont want them to bypass by leaving then joining

i wanna save roles

[tropic fractal]

(don't use the sqlite3 module that's built in to python, it'll block your event loop)

[humble talon]

If you're just storing a few roles for a mute command, you might not even need a database

[tropic fractal]

You're the one throwing a hissy fit but okay

[humble talon]

Like if the amount of data you're storing is very small, like < 100 elements, you can probably just store it locally in a json file tbh

[slender lintel]

well eventualy it would be more than that, just dont know what yet

[humble talon]

Your lack of understanding of it doesn't make it ass, if you took more than 30 seconds to learn how it works you'll realise how naive and dumb you're being

[slender lintel]

Thanks but im going to listen to skeeza.

[humble talon]

It's very easy to store a file with 100 discord ids now, so why not try that and if/when things require growth you can look into databases

[slender lintel]

How would i store it with discord ids?

[tropic fractal]

(if you're using JSON don't forget all keys have to be strings, so enjoy repeatedly casting)

[humble talon]

You can do something like this:

import json

# Save
with open('discord_ids.json', 'w') as file:
    json.dump(file, <data>)

# Then when you want to load it
with open('discord_ids.json', 'r') as file:
    data = json.load(file)

[slender lintel]

so id put the bottom code below each command needing it, and is there somewhere i can learn more about this to understand it better?

[humble talon]

You'll probably want to have a function that saves and loads the id, but you can load it on startup and attach it to the client object

You can do something like this:

import json

# Then when you want to load it
with open('discord_ids.json', 'r') as file:
    data = json.load(file)

client = discord.Bot(...)
client.muted_people = data

<command to mute people>
  client.muted_people.append(<new_person>)
  # Save
  with open('discord_ids.json', 'w') as file:
      json.dump(file, client.muted_people)

If you look up loading and saving with json in Python you'll most likely find something online

[slender lintel]

so for

oops

didnt mean to enter lol

[humble talon]

No worries

[slender lintel]

so for example,

async def mute(ctx, member: discord_member, reason)
await member.add_roles('rolename')
bot.muted_people = data

with open('discord_ids.json, 'w') as file: json.dump(file, bot.muted_people)

[humble talon]

Try this:

bot = discord.Bot(...)
with open('discord_ids.json', 'r') as file:
    bot.muted_people = json.load(file)

@bot.slash_command(name="mute", description="e")
async def mute(ctx, member: discord_member, reason):
  await member.add_roles('rolename')
  bot.muted_people.append(member.id)

  # Save
  with open('discord_ids.json', 'w') as file:
      json.dump(file, bot.muted_people)

[slender lintel]

Would i add the #save part below each command needing to store data

[humble talon]

If you're ever updating the list, you'll want to update the list in memory (the bot.muted_people) and the permanent list, for when the bot gets restarted or dies (in the file, the json.dump bit)

[slender lintel]

wym? (sorry)

[humble talon]

You're storing a list in 2 places, once permanently (in the file, which will be stored on your computers storage) and one for easy access, in memory, which is the variable (bot.muted_people)

The bot.muted_people list will get cleared when the bot dies right? Since it's just a variable, which is why we store it in the file, but to access the file everytime is slow and bad, so we keep a handy list in a variable

[slender lintel]

alr

[half marsh]

Wouldnt this raise bot object has no "..." attributes"?

[humble talon]

It's just a class instance, you can attach anything to it

[half marsh]

Ooh

Didnt know that

[slender lintel]

What would i have to do to connect to a youtube channel? like i want to create a /ytsearch command to search for any youtube channel total views, subs ect

or just one particular channel if i cant do any

[lucid cove]

probs search for the youtube api if it exists

also

[half marsh]

Think they have the official api

[lucid cove]

how can i move commands that accept arguments to different files

[humble talon]

Cogs

[lucid cove]

nvm got it

im just giga dumb sometimes

[fossil kiln]

is it legal to do something like this? (the last line disturbs me)

class CustomCog(discord.Cog):
    bot: discord.Bot
    
    async def some_stuff(self, ...):
        ...
    
    def __init__(self, bot, *args, **kwargs):
        self.bot = bot
        self.some_stuff = self.bot.listen('on_ready')(self.some_stuff)

[idle wagon]

I run main.py after which I want to run test.py and have it execute this function without starting a new bot.

[humble talon]

Yeah don't do that

[humble talon]

I'm a little unsure about what you're asking, so this may be completely wrong, but you might be looking for

if __name__ == "__main__":
   <code>

[brazen siren]

@deep timber

[slender lintel]

Why does this happen (It happens no matter what im installing)

[fossil kiln]

pip isn't listed in the PATH

[slender lintel]

How would i fix that?

[humble talon]

Try python -m pip install <package>

[slender lintel]

Yeah ive been usin that instead, dont know if theres any disavdamtages to it

no, vs code

[idle wagon]

I want to run the bot. After that, anytime I run test.py, the test function will run and a notification will be sent.(not to run the bot again and not to do anything)

[crimson coral]

well replit itself is the disadvantage

[slender lintel]

Im not using replit

bru

[crimson coral]

oops i misread the text LOL

[slender lintel]

lol

Im using the youtube data api to get youtube channels total veiws subs ect

?

lol

[fossil kiln]

should I do this if I want some_stuff to be done when self.bot gets on_ready event?

class CustomCog(discord.Cog):
    bot: discord.Bot

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @discord.Cog.listener("on_ready")
    async def some_stuff(self, ...):
        ...

[humble talon]

What is some_stuff, but probably yeah

Just set a boolean for if on_ready has fired before

Since it can run more than once

[fossil kiln]

stop

[fossil kiln]

I know about that

[fossil kiln]

but can't understand a point to create a flag

[fossil kiln]

CustomCog will create views, which can live longer than a bot session, what's why I'm trying to do this

[fossil kiln]

body of some_stuff function, defined inside of CustomCog

[humble talon]

Yeah no shoot haha

[fossil kiln]

summing up, this should work, right?

[stiff lotus]

getting this error on repl.it

any ideas?

or anybody know why?

[brazen siren]

friends how to take a parameter with slash?

[stiff lotus]

anybody?

;c

[crimson coral]

can you show the full code used

[stiff lotus]

well it says line 51

[crimson coral]

yes but it doesn't really help

[stiff lotus]

here

[crimson coral]

hmmm

have you ever ran into it before?

[stiff lotus]

no never.

Basically, my other repl got found. The bot was token logged & the person started pinging everybody in my announcements channel. So i've had to fork it to another account & I reset the token. I've also changed the token in the code. Before, all this code was working, but now that i havetransferred it to the new account, i seem to be getting this error.

[found out it was a server admin]

[crimson coral]

wait

where did you get Option from

[stiff lotus]

i imported it

& none of the code was changed

[crimson coral]

can you show just in case

[stiff lotus]

this was all working before

[stiff lotus]

uhh, the import?

[crimson coral]

yes

[stiff lotus]

now they're yellow

after i transfer

;c

[crimson coral]

change optparse to discord

idk why you were using that

[stiff lotus]

oh ok

now im getting this

@crimson coral

even tho im coding in pycord

💀

[crimson coral]

uh....

[stiff lotus]

now this is strange

[crimson gale]

that looks like pyscript to me

[stiff lotus]

no, im using pycord

[crimson gale]

pycord is a package

[stiff lotus]

ah but

im using python

so youre probably right

but im not sure what these errors are

[crimson gale]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stiff lotus]

could somebody please help me

as soon as i transfer it to another acc

im getting all these errors

which means it cant be a problem with the code

but a problem with the libraries or smthn

hey?

someone

pls

;c

[crimson coral]

i mean... it's pretty hard for us to troubleshoot stuff hosted on replit because the user lacks control

[delicate peak]

How can you download files (ex. recorded voice channel) to local storage? All the examples I see just upload them to a discord channel

[crimson coral]

Attachments: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Attachment.to_file
voice: might need more context

can you show your code?

[delicate peak]

I was following this: https://guide.pycord.dev/voice/receiving/

specifically

files = [discord.File(audio.file, f"{user_id}.{sink.encoding}") for user_id, audio in sink.audio_data.items()]

this you can upload in a channel using something like await channel.send(f"finished recording audio for: {', '.join(recorded_users)}.", files=files)

but I would just like to save the files to local storage

[crimson coral]

hmm hold on

[slender lintel]

Hey so ive connected the youtube data API to my code but how would i make a slash command find any channels stats?

[crimson coral]

ok i think i got it
in this case, audio.file is a bytes object; to save it to a file, we open the file we want in bytes mode, i.e. py f = open("path/to/audio.format", "wb") f.write(audio.file) f.close()

[slender lintel]

await def ytsearch(ctx, channel)``` So what would i add after this? Channel meaning the channel name to find stats for

Th yt api is confuising me

[slender lintel]

Hey u got any idea about my issue above?

[crimson coral]

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/quickstart/python might be a good place to start

this example follows requesting a channel's info

[slender lintel]

thanks

[stiff lotus]

;c

[slender lintel]

await def ytsearch(ctx, channel)
await ctx.channel.respond(channel.list)``` Is this right? I am having trouble understanding it

[glass nova]

I want to set a custom asyncio event loop.
discord.Client has an attribute for it but ext.commands.Bot does not. how can i set one for commands.Bot?

[delicate peak]

ahh I see thanks!

[crimson coral]

it should? commands.Bot inherits from discord.Bot which inherits from discord.Client

[slender lintel]

e

[crimson coral]

i think you skipped a couple steps... navigate to the code sample the page tells you about and review it

[slender lintel]

alr

[slender lintel]

Should it be a gitihub page?

github*

[crimson coral]

no it's on the site

[slender lintel]

Its showing request stuff and thats just confusing me, I just want it through a slash command

[glass nova]

i couldnt find on docs but if i can set then np

also im actually trying to run bot on a multiprocessing process which doesnt want to work (no event loop in thread-2) so i tried to give it a loop

which actually still didnt change anything

[crimson coral]

it tells you how to get there

1. Go back to the documentation for the API's channels.list method.
   https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list
2. In the "Common use cases" section, click the code symbol for the first listing in the table.

[slender lintel]

Its making it into a slash command thats confusing me tho

[crimson coral]

well you need to understand how to even make the request before using it in a slash command

[glass nova]

extra info:
when creating bot, in init, i passed in loop=asyncio.new_event_loop()

and its still the same error

[slender lintel]

well yeah i watched a video on it, I understand it but dont understand the slash command side

[crimson coral]

what in particular? it shouldn't be that different

[slender lintel]

after the await def ytsearch((my args))
then is it like request = or ctx.respond(request=)

[crimson coral]

idk what your ytsearch function does

but you're looking for ctx.respond

which generally takes a string, an embed, a file or whatever else

[slender lintel]

I am trying to search for any channels stats

[crimson coral]

so what does ytsearch return

[slender lintel]

It would be an regular message with the subs and total veiws of requested channel

[crimson coral]

so you should assign that to the variable instead

e.g. result = await ytsearch(...)

then you can await ctx.respond(result)

[slender lintel]

so then must i do the request but instead of request = its result =

[crimson coral]

no the name doesn't matter

that was just an example

[slender lintel]

alright

await def ytsearch(ctx, channel):
result = await ytsearch(...)
await ctx.respond(result)``` this right?

[crimson coral]

your original await def ytsearch((my args)) wouldn't be valid code, because def is used to define a function

[slender lintel]

oh

[crimson coral]

did you define ytsearch somewhere else?

or are you defining it inside the command

[slender lintel]

I havent defined it anywhere else/inside a different command

[crimson coral]

...so it doesn't exist?

sorry im trying to figure this out

[ivory zenith]

How do I create a paginated embed?

[crimson coral]

use the pages extension https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/pages/paginator-basics

[slender lintel]

Should i send my entire code, But for the unrelated parts?

and id remove api key

[crimson coral]

sure

[slender lintel]

``` The rest of the code, the code i removed was mostly just commands not related to this

@crimson coral

[ivory zenith]

how do i get discord.ext.pages?

[crimson coral]

from discord.ext import pages

[crimson coral]

async def ytsearch(...) outside the command, and remove the await def ytsearch(ctx, channel): line

[slender lintel]

await def ytsearch(ctx, channel):
result = await ytsearch(...)
await ctx.respond(result)``` so this?

oops

async def ytsearch()
result = await ytsearch(...)
await ctx.respond(result)```

sorry that one i meant

is that correct

[crimson coral]

again, define it outside of the command

you don't want to recreate the function every time someone uses the command

[slender lintel]

@bot.slash_command(name='ytsearch', description ="Finds yt stats of channels")
result = await ytsearch(...)
await ctx.respond(result)```

[crimson coral]

close enough, just... make sure you actually write the rest of the function

[slender lintel]

Wym? what else should i add?

[crimson coral]

.

ytsearch... i presume you're going to write the code for it?

[surreal nimbus]

is it possible to make a slash command arg disabled for a specific occasion?

[crimson coral]

don't think so

[surreal nimbus]

hm

is it possible to change the input type depending on the value you put in the arg before the arg you want to change the input type in?

[crimson coral]

nope

[slender lintel]

Yeah, am i right i need to add the channel.list stuff

[crimson coral]

the best you could do is some manipulation with autocomplete to check previous args

[slender lintel]

im confused sorry

[crimson coral]

all good

[surreal nimbus]

is it possible to make so autocomplete doesn't work and it doesn't send the "no options" thingie to discord?

[crimson coral]

autocomplete results aren't enforced, they can ultimately input anything they want in there

but that's the closest you can get to the behaviour you want

[surreal nimbus]

alright, thank you

[slender lintel]

is this right?

[crimson coral]

all good

[crimson coral]

well just give it a try and see what happens... i guess

[slender lintel]

why do i now think im doing it wrong :/

[crimson coral]

well you gotta try first

[ivory zenith]

ImportError: cannot import name 'PartialMessageable' from 'discord.channel' (C:\Users\petru\Desktop\Simple-Scoreboard-Main-v1\.env\lib\site-packages\discord\channel.py)
i broke it

[surreal nimbus]

I have another question, if you set the input type to int, can there be made exceptions so you can also put a specific string too?

[crimson coral]

you've mixed multiple libraries together, uninstall any discord-related libs (pycord, dpy, disnake etc) and reinstall py-cord==2.0.0rc1

[crimson coral]

nope

discord didn't design slash commands/options to be flexible across types like that

[surreal nimbus]

yeah...

[ivory zenith]

working, thanks

[crimson coral]

all good

[languid hollow]

I'm guessing the latest library is not compatible without slash commands?

[half marsh]

Sori but i suggest you learn the basic for this language first

[pure lake]

W3 a great free resource for learning it btw ^

But if prepared to pay would recommend the Udemy course Python zero to hero by Jose Portilla or something like that

[gilded widget]

tbh, if you don't wanna do courses, because i sure as hell didnt, just start with small projects

make small little things and use your resources to understand things

if that doesnt work though courses are a good way to understand it

[idle wagon]

How to get bot in flask server

[pure lake]

True, hands on learning is amazing

[worthy basin]

Read part 3 of this.
I'm not sure why you would want to do this unless you are transferring the bot to repl.it or something.
It is not necessary to have flask and uptime robot if you are running it on your own PC or other server that does not go offline after x amount of inactivity.

https://replit.com/talk/learn/Basic-Discord-Bot-Tutorial-Python/141781

Parth 3 of that ^

[idle wagon]

I just need to pass the bot from main somehow

[worthy basin]

I dont think you want to have the from main import bot. That leads to circular imports causing problems

[idle wagon]

And you can pass it through the function?

[worthy basin]

The more complex way to fix it is by putting all the code in main into a function and doing

if __name__ == __main__:
    myFunc()

Outside the function at the bottom of the file.

I'm not super familiar with how it works so that the best I can give you. :/

[idle wagon]

I just want to work with the bot through the site.

[glass nova]

if i want to run flask and discord bot at once, can i not multithread the discord bot and have to multithread flask?

How do you prevent Greedy from trying to get members from a word without a tag, like I use greedy to get members for massban, and it keeps getting members from the reason

[sudden path]

What's Greedy

[frank wadi]

How can i make that only author can use a button?

[delicate peak]

I've tried this out, and it's not working

audio.file is a discord.sinks.core.AudioData object

it seems to have a write method, but I can't figure out how to use it
not what I was looking for... this is weird

I would download the file from the message that it sends, but if the file is too large it won't be able to send in the first place

[crimson coral]

hm

audio.file is the AudioData object...?

[delicate peak]

yes

the problem is in the channel.send() method you can just pass in a file

that is, a discord file object

[crimson coral]

and you got audio from sink.audio_data.items()?

[delicate peak]

yup

if I print the type of audio from sink.audio_data.items() it says it's an AudioData object

so the question boils down to just: how do you download a discord.File object

[crimson coral]

well it's the other way round

you don't download a discord.File, you convert data into it

[delicate peak]

oh I see

[crimson coral]

what about audio.file

[delicate peak]

oh let me check

i'm trying - it's being a bit weird

sometimes I have to wait to start/stop recordings or they don't work

[crimson coral]

that's exactly what we want

[delicate peak]

what is _io?

as in the underscore

[crimson coral]

it's just the module it's from

the original code snippet i provided should hopefully work

[delicate peak]

ah okay

[delicate peak]

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not '_io.BytesIO' - I think I need to convert it, just not sure of how to/what format

i'm pretty sure I can do io.BytesIO(data)

[crimson coral]

what about audio.file.getbuffer()

[delicate peak]

like this?

[crimson coral]

yeah

[delicate peak]

that worked, thank you so much!

[crimson coral]

What are you trying

[potent rivet]

I just want a button that when its pressed it makes a channel

[sudden path]

What are you trying

[potent rivet]

oh right

I followed the button tutorial

and was trying to replace where the bot sends a message with an async def that makes the channel

[sudden path]

Code?..

[sudden path]

bot.guild?

[potent rivet]

i think i was trying discord.Guild too

idk where i got it from but i tried bot.guild too ig

[sudden path]

discord.Guild is the whole class

You need a Discord.Guild object
