[prisma flicker]

like whichever cog loads first

[cyan quail]

yeah i think that's just the order they appear in the internal command list

the default sort if you set sort=True is alphabetical

but you can pass in a custom function to sort them

[prisma flicker]

how do I set .description for context menu commands?

[cyan quail]

i don't think they have one? im not sure

yeah since you'd never see them

but in exchange they have looser name restrictions

like capitals and spaces

[prisma flicker]

yeah

like I have py desc = command.description if not desc: desc = "No description provided."

so they all just get "No description provided."

[cyan quail]

yeah

[prisma flicker]

thanks Nelo, this has all been very helpful 🙂

[drowsy python]

is there a way to get the command input that caused an error in an error handler? speaking in the context of a global handler using ext.commands

i see kwargs is a thing but i don't understand how to use it

[cyan quail]

is it a prefix command?

or a slash command

[drowsy python]

prefix

[cyan quail]

just check ctx.message

or well ctx.message.content

[drowsy python]

huh

well, thanks for the assistance!

[cyan quail]

all good

[drowsy python]

[cyan quail]

though to refer to your original find, ctx.kwargs does return a proper mapping of variables to arguments in the form of a dict

[drowsy python]

oh?

[cyan quail]

this may be more useful for longer commands or commands with more vague arguments, since you can check specific ones instead of having to guess from message content

[drowsy python]

makes sense

[cyan quail]

e.g. in the example posted above, the body variable is whatever python code i threw into it

[drowsy python]

mhm

i'll probably toy around with it a bit

[cyan quail]

so just get ctx.kwargs["body"]

havefun

[drowsy python]

thanks again!

[cyan quail]

all good

[fallen cove]

seting up bot on the hosting platform, and trying to get it to load the cogs folder but cant get the relative path FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/cogs' A3PO.py is the main file. any help on getting a relative directory

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

[cyan quail]

just do 'cogs'

[fallen cove]

okie

thanks

[drowsy python]

small update on kwargs

it seems that just using ctx.args gets more results than kwargs, presumably due to what type of command it is and all but that's good for future reference

just used non filtered versions here out of laziness

123 was the actual input i used so

[cyan quail]

ah yeah, i suppose it depends on how your command is defined

args also includes self (if the command is in a cog, typically the bot object) and ctx (being the context), but you already have access to these elsewhere

[drowsy python]

yeah

so i guess that's all for me but this'll be nice for anyone else in the future

likely would need to be looked at in the docs for the kwargs vs args bit

[fiery tiger]

on_command_error will work for / commands too?

[fiery tiger]

@silver moat ?

[fervent cradle]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[XXX])
async def invite(ctx, options['id']):
    inviteuser.invite(account, plex, sections, options['id'])
    await ctx.send("Invited user with id {} to Plex server {}".format(options['id'], plex.friendlyName))

    async def invite(ctx, options['id']):
                                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

what am i doing wrong here?

[prisma flicker]

on_application_command_error

[echo egret]

Well you are setting a value as a parameter

[fiery tiger]

ty

[fervent cradle]

how do i do it?

dont i want this?

[prisma flicker]

You can't index a dict in your parameters

[fervent cradle]

isnt that a list?

[prisma flicker]

That's not valid python

Regardless you can't index it in the parameters

[fervent cradle]

so make a list

then pass it in?

[prisma flicker]

Sure

[echo egret]

I don't think I understand what you're trying to do...

[fervent cradle]

im trying to ask the user for their id

in the slash command

optionslist = ['id']

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"We have logged in as {bot.user}")

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[XXX])
async def invite(ctx, options=optionslist):

is this right?

[echo egret]

Well just make a parameter id

[fervent cradle]

how

[echo egret]

Like a normal python function

[fervent cradle]

so add id after ctx?

[prisma flicker]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[XXX])
async def invite(ctx, id: discord.Option(int, "ID of the user to invite")):```

[echo egret]

Yes

[fervent cradle]

oh thanks

can i make it required?

[prisma flicker]

it's already required unless you say it's not

[fervent cradle]

what does this mean?

[echo egret]

You can check for exemples on pycord's GitHub :)

[fervent cradle]

am i not qallowed to use id?

[prisma flicker]

it's just a warning

you now have two variables named id in the same scope

you really need to learn basic python before writing a discord bot

[fervent cradle]

i know

[prisma flicker]

so go do that

[fervent cradle]

im just scrapping this together because i need it asap

with github copilot doing half of it

[prisma flicker]

at least read the guide and skim the docs then

https://guide.pycord.dev/

[fiery tiger]

@prisma flicker

Looking at the docs it doesn't really work the way i want to.

What i am trying to do is to check if there's a missing permission error.
Creating a global handler to check this

on_application_command_error

[prisma flicker]

what

what's not working?

[fiery tiger]

i said what i'm trying to do, checking that certain error if there's a missing permission

does it work the same?

nvm found out

nope nvm

what's the right event to check a missing permission for / commands

@prisma flicker u here?

[prisma flicker]

on_application_command_error

[fiery tiger]

yes i just seen

in the docs usage my bad, i got confused

[prisma flicker]

what's confusing you?

[fiery tiger]

the parameters they had, it works a bit different from a normal command that works with prefix

if it was error it would make a bit more sense in my head but i got it now

[prisma flicker]

so you're good now?

[fiery tiger]

yes x)

[fiery tiger]

is this checking for users, bots, or both?

[cyan quail]

none, it checks for any application command error

[fiery tiger]

yes but im doing it for missing permission

so u tryna say that the command misses permissions? 😂

ik its not sorted out of the list, its still in test progress

tryna find out how it works exactly

[prisma flicker]

you should get rid of the return and do else: raise error

[fiery tiger]

yes i seen in the example, will do

[cyan quail]

MissingPermissions is when the user is missing permissions from the commands.has_permissions check

[fiery tiger]

what about the bot?

[prisma flicker]

there's also https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions

[cyan quail]

you want BotMissingPermissions

[prisma flicker]

This check raises a special exception, BotMissingPermissions that is inherited from CheckFailure.

[fiery tiger]

Oh awesome, thanks a lot guys

[fervent cradle]

does anyone know how to put a description here?

[full basin]

Use discord.Option

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[prisma flicker]

@fervent cradle ^

[fervent cradle]

thank you

❤️

[loud holly]

There's this bot that I'm interested in, called watchbot, I'm interested in how it doesn't get ratelimited, since it's watching 1000s of bots and checking the bots status every time, how do they do that if anyone knows

[silver moat]

on_member_update also watches for presence changes

[peak wing]

async def ar(ctx, word, emoji):
  if f'{word}' in ctx.message.content.lower():
    await ctx.message.add_reaction(f'{emoji}')
    await ctx.send('a')``` i made this command and it works but how can i make it add the reaction every time someone has 'word' in their message and not just once?

[stark walrus]

what's wrong here:

    if answer_1 == "":
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'answer_1' referenced before assignment```

[stark walrus]

https://www.w3schools.com/python/trypython.asp?filename=demo_ref_string_count

form an if statement, use this count as your core method to compare with

basically this

Also use *

[manic spoke]

Can I have unicode emojis in the command description somehow?

How to pass regex rules

[loud holly]

You have not defined the variable

[fervent cradle]

Is there any option for slash discord.py?

Python3.7 supported ofc

[manic spoke]

also how to add this install button in your bot status

[fervent cradle]

async def on_member_remove(member): print(f"{member.id} has left the server")

this isnt detecting when people leave

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(intents=intents)

can someone send me https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/tree/master/examples/views/button_roles.py the contetns,i think github is down https://pfp.is-a-stripper.xyz/​‍⁠‍⁠⁠‍‌‌‌‍​‍‍‌​‍⁠‌⁠​‌‌⁠⁠⁠‌⁠​‍sexy-man‎

[fervent cradle]

https://hastebin.com/zicexumefa.py

thanks

[manic spoke]

?

can i use unicode emojis in command description

[prisma flicker]

This is the pycord server, please ask in the discord.py server if you need help with discord.py

[prisma flicker]

no

[manic spoke]

how can u add invitation button in my bot profile

[copper dew]

The add to server button? I think your bot needs to be verified first, and then in the dev portal u can turn it on

Don't remember exactly where

[manic spoke]

@copper dew @errant crane has it

though its not verified

most of bots has it

[copper dew]

hm interesting

Then I don't know anything past that

[viral turtle]

check if the bot is public inside the discord application stuff

[prisma flicker]

Doesn't have to be verified but yeah it's in the dev portal

[copper dew]

ah ok thanks. I'll be looking to see if I can find it

[manic spoke]

i cant see the option

where is it

[manic spoke]

?

[vast spire]

I'm not sure if I can post this here, it's kind of a general discord bot question. I'm trying to add an About Me to my bot and it just won't show up. I followed every tutorial and stackoverflow post I could find, but I did exactly as they said. I put it in the description field on the developer page, and clicked save. Reloading the page shows it's still there, so it's actually saving. I thought it could be server lag, so I waited. It's been 5 hours and nothing.

[vital blade]

its a glitch bcs i can't see bots about me too. only on mobile i can so check your bot's about me on discord mobile version

and u should ask that in discord developers server not here

[vast spire]

Ok, thanks :)

[obtuse vale]

how do i send stickers?

[manic spoke]

i want /bot and /bot test to be different commands

?

[sleek schooner]

Use commands group with invoke_without_context as True

[manic spoke]

give me a moment

[manic spoke]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=option#slashcommandgroup

i cant see this param here

is it not listed

also how can i make only 2 options available for 1 argument in my slash

[cyan quail]

this isn't possible

[manic spoke]

😦

[cyan quail]

you can use slash groups, but you can't invoke the original group by itself if it has any commands

[manic spoke]

it would be cool if it was possible

lets say you have the most important command in a category

then initializing the name of category would launch this main commands

[manic spoke]

lets say language command. choose either en or es

is it possible to make

[cyan quail]

well you can pass choices into options

but you don't need that

because you can localize command and option names and descriptions anyway

[manic spoke]

smth like that
discord.Option([discord.OptionChoice('en'),discord.OptionChoise('es')]

nvm fixed

[bleak cloud]

what's this close thingy?
slash commands can be mentioned?

[manic spoke]

@bleak cloud type /close to close

if you want

but you dont want

since you didnt solve the issue

[bleak cloud]

no, i meant that blue text
it looks same as @mention or #mention

i didn't know slash commands can be mentioned

how?

[smoky forge]

</command name:command id>

</like so:1234567890>

[bleak cloud]

</wow thanks:1008344689428144187>

[shadow stratus]

Is slash subcommand counts in the 100 commands limit ? Or only the the main command counts ?

[cyan quail]

pretty sure all subcommands count

[manic spoke]

My application does not respond even after having everywhere

await InteractionResponse.defer()

[crimson plover]

does view.wait() return when a button is pressed

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.wait

[cyan quail]

you don't literally use InteractionResponse, it's interaction.response

[manic spoke]

oh XD

[cyan quail]

in a command, you can shorten this to ctx.defer()

[crimson plover]

is view.stop() called internally

[manic spoke]

ohhhh thank you!

[cyan quail]

not automatically no

[crimson plover]

ok

hmm

[cyan quail]

would be rather cumbersome if views stopped whenever a button is pressed without user choice

you can just call it yourself in the callback

[crimson plover]

how do u check if a view has timed out

like get a bool

[shadow stratus]

I found this, i think sub commands doesn't count in the main command limit

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.is_finished

[crimson plover]

so when it times out stop is called

[cyan quail]

sort of

[crimson plover]

ok

[cyan quail]

i don't think this is accurate?

i've see that floating around but it doesn't seem to have any basis

[shadow stratus]

there is one way to know

[cyan quail]

oh god

[shadow stratus]

Copy paste the same command and changing the name

[cyan quail]

but anyway the docs only say

An app can have the following number of commands:

• 100 global CHAT_INPUT commands
• 5 global USER commands
• 5 global MESSAGE commands
  CHAT_INPUT includes all levels of slash commands

hmmmm

[shadow stratus]

this 100 limit is very low

There is only the main command in the integration tab in server settings

[cyan quail]

yeah but 62.5k is a very stupid number that doesn't actually make any sense

when you consider you can have a maximum of 50 integrations per server

your app would just crash

people just said 100*25*25 without actually verifying anything

[shadow stratus]

Yes this is logic but i just wanted to know if it's possible to have like 110

[cyan quail]

(maybe i will eat my words)

[shadow stratus]

Only one way to find out

[cyan quail]

on that note, if CHAT_INPUT is referring to top level commands then fair enough i'm wrong

[shadow stratus]

i will create a new app with a few commands and 100 sub commands

and i will see if it's working

[manic spoke]

doesnt really work

still application doesnt respond

nothing in terminal

[cyan quail]

what's your actual code

[manic spoke]

?

i have a lot of files :/

and a lot of imports

from other files

[cyan quail]

the code related to the error

im not asking for your entire bot

[manic spoke]

i dont have any erros

The application did not respond

[cyan quail]

then whatever command is causing it to not respond

[manic spoke]

in discord chat

[manic spoke]

give me a momen

[crimson plover]

i deleted my message nvm

how do i do something like

interaction = ctx.send_response(..., view=view)
await view.wait()
button = view.get_pressed_button() # what function do I use
await what_interaction.edit_original_message(..., view=new_view) # what interaction do I use

but inside the slash command not the callback

i had to do something like

class CustomView(View):
    def __init__(self, *buttons):
        super(CustomView, self).__init__(*buttons, timeout=60)
        self.event = asyncio.Event()
        self.current = None
        self.interaction = None
        self.bot = None

    async def custom_wait(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        await self.event.wait()
        if self.is_finished():
            self.disable_all_items()
            raise EndCommand
        return self.interaction

class CustomButton(Button):
    async def callback(self, interaction):
        self.view.interaction = interaction
        self.view.current = self
        self.view.event.set()

and it still doesnt work

[manic spoke]

    @slashGroupBot.command()
    async def texy(self, ctx):
        await ctx.defer.defer()
        await ctx.respond('texy')

The application does not respond

[cyan quail]

...............................

just await ctx.defer()

but you don't even need it

[manic spoke]

😎

[crimson plover]

does interaction.edit_original_message need interaction.response.defer() to be called

[cyan quail]

no

[crimson plover]

so why does it not work without it

if i remove the defer it breaks

also does on_timeout trigger even if the view is replaced

[cyan quail]

well for one edit_original_message isn't actually a response

you should use interaction.response.edit_message

[shadow stratus]

@cyan quail i'm done with the test, i created 100 sub commands and i still can add regular commands

[cyan quail]

fair enough then

[shadow stratus]

That only count as 4 commands

because of the limit of 25 for each

And i even tried to add 25 more commands and all the commands works fine

[dry echo]

which datatype should i use for storing a guild_id in mysql?

[cinder pilot]

I was using slash command groups and when I made it into a cog the cog is not loading

Nvm

It's client.load_extension() yea?

In the main file

idk whats wrong

[simple canopy]

integer

🤔

[grizzled sentinel]

I prefer using string (varchar)

[dry echo]

and why?

[grizzled sentinel]

Just a second. I am looking something up to make sure my facts are straight.

[grizzled sentinel]

nevermind, I was thinking of something different. It looks like big int is the best

[dry echo]

okay thank you guys!

[cinder pilot]

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

I followed this but cog isn't loading

[dry echo]

which size of bigint?

[grizzled sentinel]

discord ids vary in length so you shouldn't limit the size.

[grizzled sentinel]

using the exact code or modifying it?

[cinder pilot]

Modifying it

[grizzled sentinel]

can you open your own thread and post your code

[cinder pilot]

Hm ok

[cinder pilot]

Ok I made

[robust raptor]

I am trying to create a view with some buttons
What the buttons do depend on external parameters
Is there a way to pass them into the view?

For example I enter a command
/command param1 param2

I want the buttons to reply the contents of param1 and param2 when clicked

[rare ice]

You can subclass discord.ui.View with buttons and pass the parameters you want into the view class itself.

[robust raptor]

class view1(discord.ui.View):
  @discord.ui.button(label='button')
  async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
  await interaction.response.send_message(response)

How should I pass in the parameters to this?

[smoky forge]

with __init__()

you make the init with the args you need and add them as attributes

and when you construct the view you pass it like view1(arg)

[robust raptor]

inside the class do

def __init__(self,param1):
  self.param1 = param1

right?

[smoky forge]

yep

also make sure you call super().__init__() for stuff like the timeout

[fervent cradle]

Is there a way to force update slash commands using default_permissions?

[robust raptor]

When I do this it is telling me that the view object has no attribute "children" when I try to add that view to a message and send it

[smoky forge]

show code?

[fervent cradle]

are you using pycharm by any chance

Because it shows that for me too but I just ignore it since it works anyways

[robust raptor]

for declaring the class

class view1(discord.ui.view):
  def __init__(self,param1,param2,param3)
  self.param1 = param1
  self.param2 = param2
  self.param3 = param3

@discord.ui.button(......[buttons below]

for sending the message

await message.reply('some string',view=view1)

[robust raptor]

no

[smoky forge]

you're not constructing the object

await message.reply('some string',view=view1(param1, param2, param3)) 

[robust raptor]

oh wait the section sending the message is actually

await message.reply('some string',view=view1(param1,param2,param3))

[robust raptor]

With it like this it gives the no attribute "children" exception

[smoky forge]

you still have to super ().__init__()

[robust raptor]

add that in, now works, thanks

can I have different styling for the buttons depending on the parameters?

or different enabled status depending on the input

[peak wing]

no.

[stark walrus]

?

[peak wing]

i said no

im not using multi words for my ar command

[fervent cradle]

Whats the difference between default_permissions and default_member_permissions

[naive remnant]

How do I find a user by it's id?

[fervent cradle]

guild.get_member

[dry echo]

is there any difference?

[rugged lantern]

pausing is not the same as stopping?

that's the difference

[bronze vector]

you can resume from place you paused

and stop stops? idk how to explain more

[fiery tiger]

So Missing access is basically a missing permission error

Just asking because the handler doesn't really seem to work.

and i am using this in order to set the perm for the / commands, i seen it in pycord application commands example

[cyan quail]

BotMissingPermissions is specifically for errors raised from the bot_has_permissions decorator
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions

and MissingPermissions is for the has_permissions decorator; you can use this to verify if the user has the right permissions
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[fiery tiger]

awesome, thanks a lot

[fiery tiger]

if isinstance(error, commands.errors.BotMissingPermissions):

am i doing smth wrong? handler is not working

error message not being sent

[cyan quail]

commands.BotMissingPermissions

[fiery tiger]

i tried that too

[cyan quail]

but uhh

[fiery tiger]

doesn't work either.

[cyan quail]

what's the full error

[fiery tiger]

i just seen in the output commands.errors so i just used that

[fiery tiger]

.

[cyan quail]

and can you show your full error handler

[fiery tiger]

https://hastebin.com/zuxonekaje.py

i think it says dangerous file but it's because of the .py

[cyan quail]

look at your first else

[fiery tiger]

i am

[cyan quail]

ok so

go through the logic

[fiery tiger]

so the logic here is if the len of the list is > 1 then text should be permissions

else it will be permission

[cyan quail]

not that one

[fiery tiger]

u said first else

oh

[cyan quail]

this is your code essentially ```py
if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
...
else:
raise error

    if isinstance(error, commands.errors.BotMissingPermissions):
        ...
    else:
        raise error```

[fiery tiger]

it's happening because im raising the error

and then im checking the other thing

[cyan quail]

yeah, since you raised the error it stops there

so it never checks the second if

[fiery tiger]

Oh damn trust me i didn't notice

[cyan quail]

you want something more like py if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions): ... elif isinstance(error, commands.errors.BotMissingPermissions): ... else: raise error

or just don't use else at all and assume you're always going to return beforehand

[fiery tiger]

i will go with this

[cyan quail]

and do note since you made this an additional listener, your original error handler might still run separately

[fiery tiger]

I know, u mean sending the messages twice if there's already an error handler in the command?

Well yes i know about this, that's why im taking care of the error handler at the end

i have just top_role checks and if guild_owner

[fiery tiger]

uhm quick question

BotMissingPermissions returns a list.

how does it have no len?

even if it's 1

[cyan quail]

you should be checking error

or specifically error.missing_permissions

[fiery tiger]

👍

@cyan quail It's working, thanks a lot

[cyan quail]

allgood

[orchid hull]

How can I get a user object from a username (i.e., user#0000)?

[fiery tiger]

discriminator?

user.discriminator

[full basin]

Pycord has a member converter

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=memberconverter#discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter

[signal stratus]

How can I stop the error from displaying in the Console?

[prisma flicker]

try:
  # your code
except:
  pass```

[signal stratus]

Oh true thx xd

Whenever I stop the bot this error comes up, can I make it not show up anymore?

[prisma flicker]

you should close your http connectors

[signal stratus]

How do I do it?

[prisma flicker]

idk probably something like connection.close()?

[hearty mauve]

How

[young bone]

You know basic python?

[hearty mauve]

I dont know how to check the version with pip

I haven't used python in a while

[young bone]

You can do it with pip show py-cord

[hearty mauve]

Ok

@young bone version 2.0.0

[robust raptor]

Is it possible to have the button's appearance depend on external parameters without having to reconstruct the view every time the view is sent?
For example I run a command /command param1 param2 param3
The reply will contain a button which says param1 on it, with param2 as emoji and is disabled when param3 is true

[hearty mauve]

[prisma flicker]

you need message content intent

[hearty mauve]

intents.messages = True?

[orchid hull]

How can I reset any activity (such as listening, watching, streaming, ...) on my bot

As in completely remove it

Nvm I got it

[hearty mauve]

Like make it change

From each

You'd use multiple task.loop for those

[robust raptor]

Will I be able to use buttons with discord.Client or do I have to use discord.Bot

[hearty mauve]

discord.Bot i think

[hearty mauve]

Yeah it wont work still

[prisma flicker]

No, it's message_content

[fierce elm]

Is there a hard limit on the amount of bots that connect from the same IP?

[hearty mauve]

Ok

[prisma flicker]

No but they'll all share the same rate limits

[void fable]

how would i pass context to my button view?

right now i just have it inside of my command function

but i wanna make a persistent view with it

[full basin]

Why do you want to pass context to a view

[void fable]

idk if theres a better way to do this but im checking to see if whoever is interacting with the button is the command author and im also resetting the cooldown of the command

[full basin]

Set a view attribute

view = MyView()
await ctx.respond(view=view)
view.user = ctx.author

Then you access to it with self.user in your view class

[sonic lotus]

I still didn't get the difference between e.g. fetch_member() and get_member()
If fetch_ takes an API call and sometimes even returns less data (fetch_guild()), in which cases should I use fetch_ instead of get_?

[rugged lantern]

you should always try using get as to save an API call and only use fetch when get is not valid

[fervent cradle]

trying to add a reaction to a message but still get this error

hooktest = Webhook(url)


    embed = discord.Embed(description="Test")
    mess = hooktest.send(embed=embed)
    await mess.add_reaction(':thumbsup:')
    await mess.add_reaction(':thumbsdown:')

await mess.add_reaction('👍')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

But i am using

from dhooks import Webhook

What´s the actual way to send a webhook?

[fervent cradle]

i tried it with

from discord import Webhook

but still the same

[dry echo]

Anyone?

[verbal dawn]

How do you pass a variable to button's label

[eternal notch]

What happened to discord.ext.tasks? It's telling me that it doesn't exist

ImportError: cannot import name 'tasks' from 'discord.ext' (unknown location)

nvm reinstalling fixed it

[young bone]

label="text"

[verbal dawn]

Yeah but how do you pass from a command to button label

like /example text
and the button pops up with the text

[young bone]

if you put the button in the command you could to it

[dry echo]

should i use lavalink or ffmpeg?

[verbal dawn]

And is there any way to do it inside of the class?

Anyways I'll use inside of command then

[solid agate]

is there a @command.guild_only() for slash commands?

[young bone]

its the same for slash commands

[solid agate]

👍

[young bone]

the same like prefix commands

[grizzled sentinel]

Its a bot side check and not a discord perms 2 check right?

[young bone]

I would say yes but Im not 100% sure

[verbal dawn]

Can't get it working is there an official example for that

Probably it's my skill issue

[cyan quail]

create a button with discord.ui.Button(...) https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.Button
then place it in a discord.ui.View(...) https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#view using view.add_item https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.add_item

[verbal dawn]

thanks!

[faint zodiac]

is there a way to get an ApplicationContext from a Button callback? i know it gives an Interaction

can you go Interaction to ApplicationContext?

[crimson plover]

does that defer automatically

[cyan quail]

that is a response

so no defer required unless you're taking longer than 3 seconds

[cyan quail]

do you mean the original context from a command, or do you want to create a new context?

[crimson plover]

do i have to manually check if it has been 3 seconds to call response.defer()

[verbal dawn]

  async def button_callback(self, interaction):
    for child in self.children:
      child.disabled = True
      child.style = discord.ButtonStyle.secondary
    button.style = discord.ButtonStyle.success
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

[faint zodiac]

A new context

[cyan quail]

use https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Bot.get_application_context

[faint zodiac]

I have an interaction from a button callback, but need an applicationcontext so I can ctx.edit()

[cyan quail]

oh

you don't need to though

[crimson plover]

interaction.edit_original_message

[cyan quail]

^

[crimson plover]

or interaction.response.edit_message

[cyan quail]

the latter if it's a response

the former if it's an edit after responding

[crimson plover]

wdym by it

if the edit is a response to a button press?

[cyan quail]

yes

[faint zodiac]

Yeah I need edits after responding

[crimson plover]

alr

[cyan quail]

then use interaction.edit_original_message

[olive acorn]

Hello there Guys

I need some help

So there is a new thing in discord developer portal under URL generator , redirect ui or something which I am not able to select or do anything with it
And because of that I am not able to get invite link for my bot
Does anyone know the fix?

[faint zodiac]

But I’m editing the response

[cyan quail]

that's fine

just give it a try

[faint zodiac]

So the user clicks a button,

App responds with 0%

App updates message to 10%

And I need files too. iirc edit original message didn’t work

[crimson plover]

is there a way to subclass View and call something when any button is clicked or select is selected

[cyan quail]

well if that doesn't work, do something like py x = await interaction.response.send_message(...) await x.edit_original_message(...) because response.send_message returns a new interaction

[cyan quail]

define interaction_check https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.interaction_check

[crimson plover]

is there a neater way to separate the check from the processing tho

[cyan quail]

wdym

if you really want, interaction_check can technically act as a callback for all components in the view

not that i recommend it

[crimson plover]

i just want to store the interaction and component as an attribute of the view

[cyan quail]

the standard procedure for something like this would be instead to assign the same callback to each component

components are already in view.children

[crimson plover]

which one is the one that is interacted tho

[cyan quail]

oh

i mean you'd have to use either callback or interaction_check then, both take only the interaction

you should be using custom_id to identify what was pressed

[crimson plover]

with interaction_check the actual component cant be accessed

[olive acorn]

Hello there Guys

This is all that it shows

[cyan quail]

presumably https://discord.com/developers/applications/bot-id/oauth2/url-generator?

what url is that?

oh i see

[olive acorn]

Yea

[cyan quail]

select these scopes

leave everything else blank

[olive acorn]

Yes
I do that only and it doesn't give anything in that Redirect thing

[cyan quail]

just ignore it

the actual url is below that

at the very bottom

[olive acorn]

It says this

[cyan quail]

the heck

[olive acorn]

Ikr

[cyan quail]

idk what you've done because that definitely doesn't show up here

[crimson plover]

nor for me 🤣

[cyan quail]

well the url generator doesn't matter

it's a generic template

[olive acorn]

I haven't done anything
It's my first time lookin at this

[olive acorn]

What is it?

[cyan quail]

you can just use
https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=bot-id-here&permissions=0&scope=bot applications.commands

if you want specific permissions, use the permissions generator and pass the number into the permissions= section of the url

[olive acorn]

Doing that shows this

[cyan quail]

you need to put your bot's user ID in there

[olive acorn]

I did

[olive acorn]

And the after captcha and all this thing comes

[cyan quail]

oh i see

you turned on the oauth2 option

[olive acorn]

Oh ...

Yes
That is true

[cyan quail]

disable this

[olive acorn]

Thank you so much!

[cyan quail]

allgood

[smoky forge]

the button argument is not in the callback

[crimson plover]

does a view timeout stop view.wait()

[teal mica]

Why when i press button, my bot regardless of adding reactions on message printing "Timeout!" ?
how i can do a wait_for on reaction add ?

@bot.listen()
async def on_interaction(interaction):
  if interaction.custom_id == 'balance':
    msg = await interaction.user.send("Hola!")
    await msg.add_reaction('🥳')
    try:
      await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=10.0, check=lambda user: user == interaction.user)
      print('Hola!')
      await msg.delete()
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
      print('Timeout!')
      await msg.delete()

[crimson plover]

what permissions does a bot need to check when messages are deleted

[cyan quail]

view channel, probably message history if it's for older messages

[cyan quail]

yes

[cyan quail]

it's because your check is slightly incorrect; the check for reaction_add requires both reaction and user as per https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add

luckily lambda works with multiple arguments; just separate them with a comma like a regular function

[verbal dawn]

Is there any way to implement self inside of button callback (command)

[cyan quail]

why

[verbal dawn]

Trying to disable all buttons once one of the buttons was clicked

[cyan quail]

can you show how you've implemented the buttons/views

[rocky stump]

Hi guys I made a new thread if anyone is willing to help ^^
https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1008733412510683226

[verbal dawn]

@bot.command()
async def button(ctx):
  view = View()
  
  search1 = Button(emoji=":grinning:", label="Button 1", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
  async def search1_callback(interaction):
    search1.style = discord.ButtonStyle.success
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=view)
    
  search1.callback = search1_callback

  view.add_item(search1)
  await ctx.send("Hi",view=view)

[cyan quail]

you don't need self; just refer to view

you're already doing it

[smoky forge]

in object oriented programming, self refers to the object itself

[verbal dawn]

Thanks

[smoky forge]

so if it's not in a class, you can refer to the object by its variable name

[jovial shoal]

any way to respond with an ephemeral message when certain words are used in chat?

[cyan quail]

nope

ephemeral messages can only be triggered from an interaction

[jovial shoal]

figured as much

darn

[verbal dawn]

Probably 7th time asking, how do you get button from the interaction

[cyan quail]

well you typically don't

you should be using custom_id to identify what was pressed

[verbal dawn]

I mean get the button u clicked on and then give new style

  search1 = Button(emoji="😀", label=search[0], style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
  search2 = Button(emoji="😀", label=search[1], style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
  search3 = Button(emoji="😀", label=search[2], style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
  
  async def search_callback(interaction):
    if interaction.user == ctx.author:
      for child in view.children:
        child.disabled = True
        search1.style = discord.ButtonStyle.secondary
      #.style = discord.ButtonStyle.success
      await interaction.response.edit_message(view=view)
    else:
      await interaction.response.send_message("That's not for you", ephemeral=True)
      return False
    
  search1.callback = search_callback
  search2.callback = search_callback
  search3.callback = search_callback

  view.add_item(search1)
  view.add_item(search2)
  view.add_item(search3)

[cyan quail]

you still have to use custom_id

[verbal dawn]

i did add them

search1 = Button(emoji="😀", custom_id="Search1", label=search[0], style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)

[cyan quail]

then iterate through view.children and compare item.custom_id to interaction.custom_id

[verbal dawn]

alright

Thanks alot

[cyan quail]

all good

[cyan quail]

also if you don't want to do the loop yourself, you can use utils.get py discord.utils.get(view.children, custom_id=interaction.custom_id)

[teal mica]

nothing has changed
try my code and u will be understand what not working...

@bot.listen()
async def on_interaction(interaction):
  if interaction.custom_id == 'balance':
    msg = await interaction.user.send("Hola!")
    await msg.add_reaction('🥳')
    try:
      await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=10.0, check=lambda reaction, user: user == interaction.user)
      print('After reaction_add.')
      await msg.delete()
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
      print('Timeout!')
      await msg.delete()

[meager mica]

how do i get a list of all slash commands

and there description

[errant crane]

Item not found.

[simple canopy]

bruh

@meager mica there is .commands property inside your bot object

but its not documented somehow, or im blind

[meager mica]

oh

ok it returns list right

[simple canopy]

yes

[prisma flicker]

There's also .walk_application_commands()

[meager mica]

i put it right above bot.run and it only did one commmand for some reason

    commands =  main_bot.commands
    for command in commands:
        print(command)
    main_bot.run(main_config.BOT_TOKEN)

that only does the not slash commands

the built in help command

[simple canopy]

^ try this

[meager mica]

this works

ty

[ashen pulsar]

How can i edit a button after its pressed?

[prisma flicker]

Update the view then edit the message with the new view

[ashen pulsar]

how can i access the view to update it? I am not using classes for views

[prisma flicker]

Kinda hard to answer that without seeing your code

[ashen pulsar]

Kinda like this

(stuff)

  button = discord.ui.Button(label="button")
  button.callback = button_callback
  view = discord.ui.View(button)
    
  ctx.send(content="content", view=view)
async def button_callback(interaction):
  #edit the button ```

[smoky forge]

you make the callback edit the button

[ashen pulsar]

?

can you explain futher?

[smoky forge]

first you construct the button

then you make the callback func

and do the edits you want there

and then outside of the func you declare the callback

button = discord.ui.Button(...)
async def callback(interaction):
    ...
button.callback = callback

[opal birch]

how can I disable a button after a certain code had finished executing

[fervent cradle]

how do i make the response to a slash command only viewable to the person who executed it?

[simple canopy]

make it ephemeral

you have ephemeral kwarg in .respond()

so it will be .respond(ephemeral=True)

[fervent cradle]

thank you so much

[simple canopy]

you're welcome

[crimson plover]

even if i use on_message_delete and its the bot's own messages?

[cyan quail]

you still need to see the messages so yeah

if you don't have view_channel you can't access the channel at all

and im pretty sure read_message_history also affects uncached messages

[fervent cradle]

so i left my bot in a vps and it worked until today only two commands work without me doing anything

is this only me

[rigid sable]

so I was merging by commands to slash with pycord and these commands have multiple wait_for() functions and they are asked in a series of steps, these functions work properly when they are a normal cmd. However, when merged to slash, only the first wait_for() works and the second one doesnt and just times out. Is there a reason why this is happening?

[meager mica]

is there a way to get the description of the command aswell

[silver moat]

the command has a description attribute

[meager mica]

oh tysm

[fiery tiger]

@cyan quail could i dm u? i wanna show you something, it's not about helping x)

is something new that i don't wanna post on this server because there may be someone that steals the idea haha

[cyan quail]

go for it i suppose, but i wouldn't worry about someone stealing it in all honesty

[cloud python]

what would be proper linux file permissions for a bot's .env? I want to run it from a virtual environment but also don't want anyone else able to read the token

atm it is -rw-r--r-- as a default

[rare ice]

Is this a @commands.command?

[silver moat]

slash commands? make another slash command.

text commands, add it in the decorator aliases=["alias"]

[signal stratus]

How can I disable certain slash commands completely in private chat?

[prisma flicker]

@commands.guild_only

[lapis quarry]

I'm running into a strange issue where I have an option boolean for a slash command but the "True" and "False" options are not appearing and it takes in input as a string. Any suggestions?

[clever lark]

ive seen lots of bots now that have things in the 'Apps' section. What exactly is this called? Does pycord have support for it? If so, how is it referenced in the docs?

[silver moat]

context menus?

There are two types of Context Menus, message and user.

they are MessageCommand and UserCommand respectively

[clever lark]

tysm!!

[tiny wagon]

installing py-cord[speed] automatically speedups the code or i need to edit something?

[silver moat]

it install extra dependencies which makes things faster

you need to enable them

[tiny wagon]

how to enable?

[silver moat]

each one has to be enabled individually

[tiny wagon]

like what i need to do with code?

any command?

or just add py-cord[speed] in req.txt?

[silver moat]

there's more than that

lol

[tiny wagon]

um

didnt get any detailed docs for it

[silver moat]

you need to look up documentation for orjson aiodns Brotil cchardet individually afaik

[prisma flicker]

Just pass in x.id

[manic spoke]

does ctx.me work in pycord?

it returns str

but i need bot

[manic spoke]

heey

[tiny wagon]

isnt it ctx.guild.me?

[manic spoke]

idk

lets try it out

no

it is str

pls help

i need to check if bots role is higher

[restive willow]

Guys, please help. I'm trying to catch a message from a user. But I always get an empty message. (the event itself works, but I always catch void)```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intentss = discord.Intents.default()
intentss.messages = True
botik = commands.Bot(intents=intentss)

@botik.event
async def on_message(message):
print("ok?..")
if message.author != botik.user:
print("ok?..")
if message.content.startswith('!test'):
print("ok?..")
print(message.content)```

[manic spoke]

this code is outdated

and ugly (no offence)

[restive willow]

Well, I'm just learning so objectively. And how should I write now?

[manic spoke]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True
botik = commands.Bot(intents=intents)

@botik.event
async def on_message(message):
    print('1')
    if message.author != botik.user and message.content.startswith('!test'):
        print('ok?..', message.content)

Check intents = ||проверь интенты||

[prisma flicker]

You need message content intent

And if you're writing a brand new bot you should just use slash commands

[restive willow]

I'm not writing a command. I know there is a slash! My problem is that when I receive the message itself, it is empty

Everything is no longer necessary. I realized my mistake

[void fable]

can my select menu have dynamically changing options?

[prisma flicker]

Yes, messages will be empty without message content intent

[prisma flicker]

You're free to edit the message and view whenever you want, so, yes

[void fable]

idk if i worded it properly but lets say i have a command /aaa {difficulty}, depending on the difficulty it gives different list of options which have varying lengths

where my list of options would be coming from something like number = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']

[prisma flicker]

Yes you just send different options with each difficulty

Consider using a dict in that case if it makes sense

[void fable]

idk if it makes sense but i was going to try something like this

for n in number:
    b.append(discord.SelectOption(label = n, description = 'a'))

[opal birch]

Never mind I decided to update the page view to get the button out instead.

[plain marlin]

please help, I registered slash commands as in my other cogs, but it only shows 6 slash cmommands and not all 8. Ping me than pls 🙂

[cold rover]

where's actual docs?

[errant crane]

Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

.. versionadded:: 2.0

Parameters
-----------
*items: :class:`Item`
    The initial items attached to this view.
timeout: Optional[:class:`float`]
    Timeout in seconds from last interaction with the UI before no longer accepting input.

message: Optional[:class:`Message`]
    The message that this view is attached to. 
    If ``None`` then the view has not been sent with a message.```

[cold rover]

disable_on_timeout - this is not

[round rivet]

https://docs.pycord.dev

[cold rover]

but it's not

[round rivet]

yes it is?

[cold rover]

this is not

[round rivet]

what do you mean that is not

[cold rover]

it just doesn't exist

[round rivet]

yes it does

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/ui/view.py#L170

[errant crane]

discord/ui/view.py line 170

[round rivet]

although I have noticed it's in attributes and not parameters

[cold rover]

but why i don't have so

[round rivet]

probably added after 2.0

[cold rover]

and don't upgrade in pypi?

[round rivet]

it's just not on pypi yet

docs reflect what's on GitHub

[signal stratus]

Yes, I know that but I want to make that the slash commands are no longer displayed in the private chat, so that they are no longer suggested

[round rivet]

use discord.guild_only

should work maybe

[verbal dawn]

why does py-cord uninstall itself

[crimson plover]

why is view.message None when view.on_timeout is called

surely it should belong to a message

[woeful spindle]

How do I add a timestamp to my embed like this?

[true stump]

Is there a way to ensure that only the user issuing a slash command can interact with any UI the bot responds with? Besides using ephemeral messages.

Found:python async def interaction_check(self, interaction: Interaction) -> bool: return interaction.user == self.__context.author
but it requires to store the context or at least the author in the View subclass
And I also don't know how to proceed from there...

[cinder pilot]

embed = Discord.Embed()


embed.set_footer("Deleted at")
embed.timestamp(timestamp)

[crimson plover]

bump

[woeful spindle]

I don’t think that’s how it works..

[cinder pilot]

You have to pass in Unix timestamp

Then yes it will work

[obsidian cargo]

Is there a limit for choice options in an slash command?

[crimson plover]

bump 2

[woeful spindle]

does datetime.utcnow() not return the current timestamp?

bcz that timestamp is wrong

it shows 18:12 but my time was 14:12

[cinder pilot]

Change region ig

[woeful spindle]

what region

[cinder pilot]

You're doing datetime.utcnow().timestamp() ye?

[woeful spindle]

I’m doing:
e.timestamp = datetime.utcnow()

[cinder pilot]

Oh ok

What's your time rn

I mean like UTC+2 etc

[woeful spindle]

UTC+1

wait, how do I get the unix time stamp of when a message was deleted?

[cinder pilot]

tzone = timezone(timedelta(hours=1))
timestamp = datetime.now(tzone)

Try this

[crimson plover]

why is view.message None when view.on_timeout is called

[cinder pilot]

Or do something like

tzone = timezone(timedelta(hours=1))
e.timestamp = datetime.now(tzone)

[cinder pilot]

And
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone

[true stump]

The timestamp() method returns a POSIX timestamp / seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01) which always refers to UTC.

The Problem: if you call the timestamp() method on a naïve datetime object, Python will assume that the datetime object holds local time.

Although the utcnow() in datetime.datetime.utcnow() might suggest otherwise, it gives you a naïve datetime object. That is, it does not "know" it's in UTC. Therefore, if you call the timestamp() method, Python assumes that the datetime object passed to the function is local time and calculates the timestamp as such. It is then not what you would get from time.time().
(from https://stackoverflow.com/a/62006588)

In order to get a timezone aware utc datetime object, use something like this:py from datetime import datetime, timezone def get_utc_now() -> datetime: return datetime.now(timezone.utc)

[crimson plover]

why is view.message None when view.on_timeout is called

[woeful spindle]

What is the max length for letters in a modal?

the change presense, can it only be used during client events?

[proud pagoda]

No, you can use it wherever

oh that's sick, ty for the quick answer!

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome

How can I know the id of a voice channel of a user connected to that channel?

[proud pagoda]

VoiceChannel.members gives you the member objects, so just use .id on those

[rocky stump]

Hi everyone. What am I doing wrong here? I'm attempting to edit my message after I've used defer(), but I get Unknown Message or discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before:

            await interaction.response.defer()
            await interaction.message.edit(embed=Embed(title="Test",description="bb", color=Color.green()))
            #await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=await create_embed())

Neither one of these methods (message.edit or response.edit_message) work. if I remove defer, it works, but in my context I need defer()

[proud pagoda]

That return's their VoiceState

[proud pagoda]

What message are you trying to edit?

Has the message already been sent?

[rocky stump]

yes it's an ephemeral response, I need to edit the embed from it

[proud pagoda]

Is this within the callback of a component?

[rocky stump]

yep

[proud pagoda]

try to use interaction.edit_original_message

[rocky stump]

I don't want to edit this one, but the response

[frank yew]

Why am I getting an error with this type of datetime?

today = datetime.today()
    time = today + timedelta(seconds = 2)
    @tasks.loop(time=time, count=1)
    async def blbla:
      ...

[proud pagoda]

You haven't sent the response though?

You've just deferred it

[proud pagoda]

What's the error?

[frank yew]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: Expected datetime.time or a sequence of datetime.time for time, received <class 'datetime.datetime'> instead.

[rocky stump]

Well, when I remove defer() it works and edits the right message in this context. But in my context there is a bit of processing involved, but as soon as I add defer() it breaks

[proud pagoda]

I think you've got to use datetime.time instead of datetime.datetime, meaning that you must supply the times of day you want it to run, not the exact date and time

[proud pagoda]

So you're trying to edit the message sent when the command is invoked right?

[rocky stump]

correct

[frank yew]

I will try

[proud pagoda]

You might as well try this then

try to use interaction.edit_original_message

[rocky stump]

Ok, will try thanks

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome

[rocky stump]

Cool that works. I really thought edit_original_message would edit the message I invoked the command on rather than the response

[proud pagoda]

Ok, great!

[rocky stump]

👍 Support from this channel is great I've been stumped many times

and always get an answer

[obsidian cargo]

Is there a limit for choice options in an slash command?

[silver moat]

wdym by choice options

[obsidian cargo]

in an slash command you can define which can be the choices the user can make for an specific parameter, my question is if is there any length limit for OptionChoice lists

here: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.SlashCommand.options

[silver moat]

25

[obsidian cargo]

thx

[prisma flicker]

I thought that's what guild_only did

[serene spindle]

how do you check when a button is pressed? I tried interaction_check, but it's not working(I'm probably using it wrong)

[round rivet]

the one in discord not the one in ext.commands

[true stump]

Can't you have a slash command group and prefixed command group of the same name? I'm getting this error:Exception has occurred: AttributeError (note: full exception trace is shown but execution is paused at: <module>) 'SlashCommandGroup' object has no attribute 'remove_command' File "/Users/{user}/.pyenv/versions/3.10.6/envs/venv-yadc/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/cog.py", line 257, in __new__ parent.remove_command(command.name) # type: ignore

Oh I'm defining both in the same Cog, as I'm currently migrating to slash commands.

[frank yew]

How can I do a task in the background at a specific time passed by parameter?

[serene spindle]

nvm, I got it working

[proud pagoda]

set the time kwarg to the datetime.time that you want it to happen at (or a list of multiple datetime.time if you want to have it happen multiple times per day)

[frank yew]

I explain what I would like to do:

A command that does one thing, wait X time and do another, but I don't want that in that X time the bot is stopped. I don't know if @task.loopwould be correct, since I don't want it to be executed every X time, but only once in a given time. That determined time would be when the command has been executed + 2 seconds, 1 hour, etc... that is what I want by parameter.

[proud pagoda]

Yeah so if you set time to a datetime.time equal to say 10:00 AM, it will only run at 10:00 AM each day

[frank yew]

And how do I get that task.loop to start?

Because in the examples that I have seen to create a @task.loop I need the self.

[proud pagoda]

So if you have this code:

@tasks.loop(...)
async def my_task(self):
  ...

You would start it with:

self.my_task.start()

[proud pagoda]

So if its not in a cog, don't use self

Just don't supply self

So you would have something like this:

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

You would start it with:

my_task.start()

[frank yew]

Thank you, I will try it now. Another thing, what do commands.Cog do? I have read the documentation but I can't figure it out.

[crimson plover]

how do I get the message a view is attached to from View.on_timeout (so no references to context)

[frank yew]

I do this

@bot.slash_command(description='Al reformatorio! ⛓. Debe de existir el canal con el nombre: ⛓ Reformatorio ⛓')
@option("member", description="Quien se ha portado mal? 🤔")
async def reformatory(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    # Mirar si tiene el rol de reformatorio o administrador
    if (not ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator) or (ctx.author.get_role(REFORMATORY_CHANNEL_ID) is None):
        await ctx.respond(f'{ctx.author.mention} No tienes permisos para hacer eso! 🤔')
        return

    name_channel = "⛓ Reformatorio ⛓"
    channel_reformatory = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.voice_channels, name=name_channel)
    current_channel = ctx.author.voice.channel

    if channel_reformatory == None:
        await ctx.respond(f'No existe el canal {name_channel}', ephemeral=True)
        return

    await member.move_to(channel_reformatory)
    await ctx.respond(f'{member.mention} se ha movido al canal {name_channel} se ha portado mal 😡')


    today = datetime.today()
    # print_debug(today.time().gettimeofday())
    print_debug(today.time().hour)
    print_debug(today.time().minute)
    print_debug(today.time().second)
    print_debug(today.time().microsecond)

    time_cdown = today + timedelta(seconds=10)

    print_debug(time_cdown.time())

    #time = time(today.time().hour, today.time().minute, today.time().second,today.time().microsecond, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
    @tasks.loop(time=time(time_cdown.time().hour, time_cdown.time().minute, time_cdown.time().second, time_cdown.time().microsecond, tzinfo=timezone.utc), count=1)
    async def countdown_reformatory():
        await member.move_to(current_channel)
        print(f"Finished {member.mention}")

    countdown_reformatory.start()

But never prints finished

[proud pagoda]

What exactly are you trying to do?

Is it like an afk timeout thing?

Anyway, you have to do countdown_reformatory.start()

But I don't believe that it will update the time_cdown every time, just when the decorator is created

[frank yew]

More or less, like a punishment

[proud pagoda]

So you might just have to have a task that runs every few seconds, and have a dict which you store users and when to move them, and then in that task you check if its time to move the user, and if it is, then you do move them

[frank yew]

Ok ty

[proud pagoda]

you're welcome

[strange wagon]

so when I use attachments as an option - where are the attachments uploaded?

ah figured it out

[peak wing]

async def test(ctx):
  for role in ctx.guild.roles:
    if role == ctx.guild.default_role:
      pass
    else:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50028): Invalid Role``` how do ifix this error?

[proud pagoda]

Guild.default_role is @.everyone, so you can't delete it

[peak wing]

thats why i set it to pass

[proud pagoda]

Oh wait lol I didn't read your code properly

[proud pagoda]

Do print(role.name) before you try to delete it

[peak wing]

async def test(ctx):
  for role in ctx.guild.roles:

it worked

printed every role besides @everyone

[proud pagoda]

Add the role.delete below the print, i want to see which role causes the issue

[peak wing]

i tried, same error and it didn't print any roles

[proud pagoda]

Hm, try to use fetch_guild and then loop through the resulting guild

[peak wing]

oh wait

its one role

Xenon

its not deleting because its a bot role

how do i make it ignore bot roles

[proud pagoda]

Yeah that's probably the issue

You could just use a try: except

So that way you can continue deleting all the other roles except the ones that you aren't allowed to delete

[peak wing]

i used except: pass and it woudn’t delete any roles

i need a if statement for bot roles

idk what i need to say though

[proud pagoda]

Send code

Cuz this should work:

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  for role in ctx.guild.roles:
    if role == ctx.guild.default_role:
      pass
    else:
      try:
        await role.delete()
      except:
        pass

[peak wing]

yoo this worked

ty

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome

[peak wing]

``` is "members" the correct term for this?

[proud pagoda]

Yeah it will return everyone in the guild

However if you don't have the members intent turned on it will only return the bot

[fervent cradle]

when i want to await guild.create_scheduled_event(name, start_time, location)

what should i be passing location?
i tried a discord.TextChannel
and just the ID of the channel

traceback thingie

    payload["entity_type"] = location.type.value
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'```

[smoky forge]

location has to be str i think

if it's not a voice channel or stage channel

[fervent cradle]

hmm weird... i guess it might work since the text channel has a unique name

but what if it didnt? 🤔 seem bad

[peak wing]

    try:
     await user.send('hi')
    except:
      pass```

this wont dm people and i dont get any errors

[proud pagoda]

Make sure you have the memebrs intent enabled in your code and in the dev portal

Otherwise guild.members will just be the bot

[strange wagon]

how do I attach an audio file to ctx.respond?

[young bone]

file=discord.File("file_path")?

[strange wagon]

ah oke

thanks

[iron halo]

can you not use custom emojis in ephemeral messages?

its just showing as :emojiname: for me

[bright shard]

would anyone know how I can save the mp3 files my bot has recorded from voice channel to a folder? I know how to send the mp3 recordings in a channel but I just want to save them to a folder

[strange wagon]

dumb question how do I edit a message sent with ctx.respond?

[young bone]

you can

[young bone]

message = await ctx.respond()
await message.edit()

[strange wagon]

thanks

[cyan quail]

that probably won't work, just do ctx.edit

[strange wagon]

[young bone]

is interaction the same like respond?

in a slash command

[cyan quail]

ctx.respond returns an Interaction object

so interaction.edit isn't a valid method

[strange wagon]

discord.commands.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: edit_original_message() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

await ctx.edit("text")``` ![thonk](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/962047409742053487.webp?size=128 "thonk")

[cyan quail]

content=

[strange wagon]

ah

[cyan quail]

you have to specify what you're editing

[strange wagon]

makes sense

[young bone]

oh, thats why this works ```py
@client.slash_command()
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("test")

[cyan quail]

welllll

you probably shouldn't do that because ideally you want ApplicationContext

if it works then fair enough but it may break later on in the command

if you have more logic anyway

[young bone]

was just testing some stuff ^^

[iron halo]

i put <:emojiname:emojiid> but it doesnt work

[young bone]

which id do you use?

[charred shale]

Hello. Trying out Pycord. Tried printing the members of a certain role in my guild.

There's 26 members. For whatever reason, it prints an empty array. I've double checked everything. Role name is spelled correctly. Same exact code works in Discord.py and prints out the correct member list, but in PyCord it fails.

In this code, guild is a global variable that's already been initialized.
config.GUILD_ID is just a reference to the guild ID in an external python file.
These variables are both equal to what they should be, tested.

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[config.GUILD_ID])
async def getmembers(ctx):
    role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Example")
    await ctx.respond(role.members)

[cyan quail]

do you have the members and guilds intents

[charred shale]

The bot does, at least when I created it through the discordapp.com/developer page. Do I have to programmatically set those intents also?

[young bone]

which pycord version do you have?

[charred shale]

Not sure, how do I check?

Just installed it today.

[young bone]

but you know basic python?

[charred shale]

Yes.

[young bone]

pip show py-cord

[charred shale]

Version 2.0.0 it seems

[young bone]

any error?

[bright shard]

if anyone could help w saving the audio file the discord bot records from voice channel i will love u forever

[iron halo]

the emoji id

it works everywhere else but not in ephemeral message

[young bone]

from the link?

[iron halo]

yes

[cyan quail]

yes

?tag intents

[obtuse junco]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/intents.html

[cyan quail]

if you enabled all intents on the portal, you can use all()

otherwise, use default() and then set the others you have

[charred shale]

Thank you!

That seemed to fix it.

[cyan quail]

all good

[loud holly]

is there a way to send 2 embeds within one message?

[cyan quail]

yes

[loud holly]

I tried to do it once, and it worked, but I can't seem to do it now..

[cyan quail]

use the embeds parameter instead of embed

which takes a list of embed objects

[loud holly]

would it be embeds=[Embed1,Embed2] ?

[cyan quail]

yeah

you can submit up to 10 embeds per message, but note there can be a maximum of 6000 characters across all embeds

[verbal dawn]

Why does py-cord uninstall it self randomly

[cyan quail]

definitely not because of us

what's your host

[verbal dawn]

replit cuz i can't afford one

wait i have idea

[young bone]

?tag noreplit

[obtuse junco]

No tag noreplit found.

[indigo kettle]

Hi, how can I hide commands from people who don't have permission to use them?

[verbal dawn]

i know, repl is bad

but i don't afford a normal host

[young bone]

@discord.default_permissions(permissions)

[cyan quail]

it's pretty hard to help with replit because of how they operate

[indigo kettle]

I don't see it in the API documentation?

[verbal dawn]

i think docs documented how to implement the pip install on run

[cyan quail]

a quick google tells me that they allegedly uninstall packages to save space

[young bone]

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

[verbal dawn]

Case solved lol

[indigo kettle]

oh! thank you so much

[loud holly]

there are free host that are very reliable like railway.app

I have not used it, however i believe it's squid uses it

just a squid

[young bone]

but you also should use ```py
@commands.has_permissions()

because people on mobile still can see the commands

[cyan quail]

even if it's just 2$/month, a paid host will be far more reliable than free services like replit, glitch or heroku

[young bone]

I just use my Raspberry Pi

[cyan quail]

definitely not perfect, many have their own issues, but the experience will at the very least be smoother

[loud holly]

wumpus host gives free host and I had no issue, though rn it's locked due to out of resource (new users can't create server), however it'll be solved in 5 days or so. For me it works perfectly fine. 👍

[cyan quail]

rn it's locked due to out of resource
that's exactly the kind of issue im talking about

[indigo kettle]

I got it thank you 🙂

[cyan quail]

because they have zero revenue from free users (or maybe they sell your data idk), they run into resource management issues and often get ratelimited

[indigo kettle]

Or how to make it visible to users, but grayed out and not selectable?

[cyan quail]

they might work at some times, but 5 days of downtime isn't exactly good

[loud holly]

there's a server that has 3 months or so uptime

[cyan quail]

greyed out and hidden are actually the same thing; discord changed from greying out to hiding

you can manage user, role and channel permissions from guild settings > integrations

[indigo kettle]

oh i see

thank you

[cyan quail]

my point isn't that they're horrible or you shouldn't use them, but rather they aren't reliable; i'm not gonna try to force you or switch or anything, it's just good to know the cons of free hosts

[peak wing]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: can't set attribute``` how can i do this?

[cyan quail]

what are you trying to do... change a user's status?

[peak wing]

no 💀 its a ui command

so if their status name is "idle" i use a idle emoji instead of it just sending "idle"

[cyan quail]

then why are you trying to edit user.status.name

[peak wing]

im trying to change what it displays

[cyan quail]

in the embed?

just change the value in the embed then

you're doing it in the wrong order

[peak wing]

nah im not

[cyan quail]

i mean
