Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[fiery tiger]

yes but how can i set them to default

is it possible? or i have to create a channel for that

[cyan quail]

just select an existing channel

[smoky forge]

when you set ur guild to community you have to specify those two

it can either create one for you or select an existing one

[cyan quail]

not sure if the api will let you do the former

[fiery tiger]

Yeah but that's not how an antinuke should work. In this case i would rather create 2 channels and pull them ids and just set them there

[cyan quail]

then just create the channels on the fly...?

guild.create_text_channel

[fiery tiger]

yeh will do it

ty

[smoky forge]

would it be good to make it so if community is set to True but rules and updates channels aren't specified to create ones like discord does?

[cyan quail]

looking at the api it's not clear if that's actually possible

i wouldn't be surprised if the UI makes separate channel creation requests for that before editing the guild

[fiery tiger]

I was able to make it so the channels will get deleted after guild community is being set to false

[cyan quail]

why are you even toggling community

[fiery tiger]

1 sec

Well, this can be toggled if u want it or not. it's for extra security. Up to the guild owner

any of those can be enabled / disabled

[cyan quail]

but why disable it at all

what security is it providing

[fiery tiger]

well there's a bypass

nukers will create channels using guild community

turning on - off will just spam channels inside the guild

which is dumb but sadly this is what happens

[cyan quail]

there's a very high chance there's a ratelimit on that though

[fiery tiger]

yes but till they get ratelimited.... also imagine nuking with multiple bots

confusion is what they mostly like lol

[cyan quail]

no, guild-wide ratelimit

[fiery tiger]

well idk but a lot of people tested my bot with it. I was surprised at first idk how they do that

but luckly i found a way to fix it

[cyan quail]

fair enough i guess

[cyan quail]

though

wouldn't the nuker very easily be able to kick the bot

[fiery tiger]

No. the reason why this wont happen is because once u want to enable our bot antinuke it will be required to put it at the top of the roles

[cyan quail]

then why doesn't the bot just ban the nuker(s)

[fiery tiger]

In case they move it after it won't be the bot fault

[fiery tiger]

How can the bot know if it's a nuker or not

if something doesn't happen

[cyan quail]

isn't that the entire point of antinuke

[cyan quail]

scanning actions and determining if someone is acting maliciously

[fiery tiger]

if something happens what the bot will do is just back up everything changed by the non trusted member

yep that's what it does basically

it will also ban the non-trusted member

once something happens by a non trusted member (can be bot) -> ban the non trusted member -> replace everything back

i turned it on. what the bot did was to turn it off then delete the channels

@cyan quail I've done what u told me. Using create_text_channel

[cyan quail]

nice

[gritty pond]

How do i get invite link data from on_member_join

[dry echo]

not possible

[gritty pond]

i mean invite link code/owner

[prisma flicker]

You have to query all the invites and see which one increased in count

[gritty pond]

):

[gritty pond]

how @tacit night works?

[golden lake]

so whats up with pycord sometimes returning truncated log lines

it seems to happen when a rate limit is encountered

im seeing api calls fail, and its not being reported through the framework as an exception

for example, the log line will say its retrying, and then

DELETE https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/.../messages/.../reactions/ave
rify%3A.../... has received

without the error code actually being there

also, when i navigate through my terminal theres some weird display shit going on as if there are ctrl characters in there that it doesnt like

this has been a thing for like.. as long as ive used pycord, which has been idk >6 months

anyone know something about it or?

seems like it ought to be a known issue by now

hm maybe i should post this in #discussion

[prisma flicker]

What?

[prisma flicker]

I've never had any issues like this

[golden lake]

it wasnt a big deal at first but im starting to get more users and shit is breaking as a result

should i not rely on the built in rate limiter?

i seem to recall seeing a lot of pycord projects handling rate limiting themselves

[prisma flicker]

Are you logging weird strings with control characters?

[golden lake]

not that i am aware of lol

maybe there are weird strings in some of the message contents it prints to debug

perhaps thats the culprit for that bit

im not actually sure if this is just a display bug and the return code would be there if not for this

but also, this problem is correlated with api call failures so id like

expect to see a traceback if i didnt handle an exception its throwing due to rate limiting correctly

but im not

and im only catching Forbidden in that call, not HTTPException

i dont even know what pycord throws if it gives up retrying

id imagine it shouldnt, since the discord gateway just tells it to progessively back off

and yet, these calls never complete

gtg. ping me if u have an idea

The has_permissions decorator still works

[cyan quail]

^ all decorators from ext.commands also work with slash commands

just note these are all internal and won't hide them on discord's end; the user will still be able to see and "run" the command, but the bot will raise CheckFailure as always

[smoky forge]

you can use the @default_permissions() decorator that, by default, hides the command to those who don't have certain permissions. Using the ext.commands @has_permissions() is gonna make your command visible, but CheckFailure (i think) is gonna be raised when the user doesn't have enough permissions.

[meager heron]

I'm trying to deploy my bot using v2.0.1, and I'm getting the following error on startup:

[silver moat]

looks like discord.py

show requirements.txt ty

[meager heron]

discord.py doesn't even have ext/pages/pagination.py

Nor ext/bridge

[gentle flare]

Hey how do I send a message to s specific guild? I want to send the message with the help of my guild id. Can someone help me?

[silver moat]

fetch or get the guild and then pick a channel from there

guild = bot.get_guild(id)
guild = await bot.fetch_guild(id)

[gentle flare]

ah thx

[fervent cradle]

How do i get amount of server bots?

[ionic snow]

Hey I need a hand here, I looked up pycord docs about select menus and I didn't find anything about subclassing Select to create a custom Select Menu, anyone has a good tutorial regarding creating Select Menus while subclassing Select

[hearty mauve]

How do i use datetime to show a users time in their timezone

[cyan quail]

edit_original_response
this is definitely a dpy breaking change i saw recently

[cyan quail]

iterate through guild.members and check for member.bot

[cyan quail]

you're looking for https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

subclassing isn't a must btw, use whatever method you wish

[hearty mauve]

.

[ionic snow]

Yeah Ik i'm doing it to organize my code and make it readable, also to learn stuff and force myself to explore

[prisma flicker]

use discord.utils.format_dt

[hearty mauve]

What?

[cyan quail]

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

[ionic snow]

is there a way to disable the select menu after you select the item? It doesn't work to me for some reason

[cyan quail]

you have to edit the view again after setting disabled=True

[ionic snow]

So I need to pass the view to the new class in order to edit it?

[cyan quail]

kind of

[ionic snow]

Yeah because I'm using multiple select menus

[cyan quail]

alternatively you can use View.from_message to recreate the view https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.from_message

i don't think it'll include the original callbacks though, but it'd be fine if the view will remain disabled

oh wait

[cyan quail]

nvm, Select has a view attribute already

i.e. self.view

[ionic snow]

Thanks, I'll check

[hearty mauve]

This is what it's returning (footer)

[cyan quail]

oh if it's in the footer then set embed.timestamp instead

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

[hearty mauve]

Huh?

[cyan quail]

what

[hearty mauve]

embed.timestamp(text"discord.utils.utcnow()")?

@cyan quail

[cyan quail]

no

embed.timestamp = ...

providing a datetime object

or as you said discord.utils.utcnow()

[hearty mauve]

embed.timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow()

?

Im so confused rn

[cyan quail]

https://pycord.dev/tias

[hearty mauve]

Lmao

[prisma flicker]

embed = discord.Embed(title="hello")
embed.timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow()
await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[hearty mauve]

But i want it with my footer, i dont want it to take over

[cyan quail]

literally

try it

and you'll see what it does

[prisma flicker]

it doesn't replace it lmao

[hearty mauve]

Ok

Thanks

Ya learn sum new everyday

[fervent cradle]

How can my bot use another bot slash_command

[cyan quail]

it can't

[hearty mauve]

@client.command(aliases=["av"])
async def avatar(ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
  if not ctx.author.bot:
      if member == None:
          member = ctx.author
  embed = discord.Embed(title=f"", color=0x2F3136)
  embed.set_author(name=f"{member}'s Avatar", icon_url=f"{member.avatar_url}")
  embed.set_image(url=f"{member.avatar_url}")
  await ctx.reply(embed=embed)
``` ok im having an issue with this command

[cyan quail]

avatar.url

[hearty mauve]

Ok

[fervent cradle]

hey, is there a way to have a callback for paginators to say that for example they cant click on it

oh nevermind

[golden wadi]

How can i add permissions to slash group? ik that there is default_member_permissions but i cant understand how to use it with groups

[cyan quail]

you just pass it inside the group definition

nearly

you use permissions with kwargs

like discord.Permissions(administrator=True, manage_roles=True, ban_members=True, ...) and so on

so you just pass in as much as you want there

[golden wadi]

it finally works. thanks!

[cyan quail]

allgood

[full basin]

commands.Bot

commands.Bot supports prefix commands and slash commands.

[coral kindle]

How can i detect when my bot has been added to other guild

[fervent cradle]

b!rtrm pyc on_guild_join

[bronze vector]

there's event called on_guild_join

[fervent cradle]

where bot 👀 unless i did prefix wrong

[bronze vector]

dead

[fervent cradle]

[copper dew]

press f to pay respects

[rigid sable]

How do I set permissions for slash cmds?

[prisma flicker]

Using the permissions decorator

[young bone]

The same like prefix command

[coral kindle]

bot.slash_command(name='test')
async def test(ctx):
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
        ctx.respond('test')```

[real stirrup]

discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access
what im trying to do: await channel.send("example")
unless I set the bots role to admin this error occurs

[full basin]

Missing Access comes from application commands

Didn't invite the bot with the application.commands scope

[fervent cradle]

    async def userinfo(self, ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
        if member == None:
            member = ctx.author
        if member == "":
            member = ctx.author
        embed = discord.Embed(title="User Information", color=0x8eabf7, timestamp=ctx.message.created_at)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.guild.icon_url)
        embed.add_field(name="User ID", value="**`%s`**" % (member.id), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Name", value="**`%s`**" % (member.display_name), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Discriminator", value="**`%s`**" % (member.discriminator), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Creation Date", value="**`%s`**" % (member.created_at.strftime("%a, %d %B %Y, %I:%M %p")), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Bot Check", value="**`%s`**" % (member.bot), inline=False)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[real stirrup]

just did and it still doenst work

[fervent cradle]

Nothing shows up when i try to run the command does anyone have a idea why

[fiery tiger]

How can i check if 'COMMUNITY' is in before guild features but not in after guild features

[real stirrup]

do you have a decorator above the func

[fervent cradle]

    @commands.hybrid_command(
        name="userinfo",
         description="Userinfo basically Lol",
         aliases=["ui"]
    )

    @checks.not_blacklisted()
    async def userinfo(self, ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
        if member == None:
            member = ctx.author
        if member == "":
            member = ctx.author
        embed = discord.Embed(title="User Information", color=0x8eabf7, timestamp=ctx.message.created_at)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.guild.icon_url)
        embed.add_field(name="User ID", value="**`%s`**" % (member.id), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Name", value="**`%s`**" % (member.display_name), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Discriminator", value="**`%s`**" % (member.discriminator), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Creation Date", value="**`%s`**" % (member.created_at.strftime("%a, %d %B %Y, %I:%M %p")), inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Bot Check", value="**`%s`**" % (member.bot), inline=False)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
 

[fiery tiger]

@cyan quail u on ? 😂

[real stirrup]

whats a hybrid command

[fervent cradle]

it lets you

use / and normal prefix

the decorator is not the issue

[rigid sable]

?tag example

[obtuse junco]

No tag example found.

[errant crane]

Here's the slash perms example.

[rigid sable]

Also, in my commands (slash), I don't add the ctx : discord.ApplicationContext thing but it still works

what is the reason for adding that?

[dry echo]

so that a third person can read your code fluently

[harsh dust]

I'm so confused
I'm running my bot with slash commands for the first time on another script and it works for like a minute and then the commands just disappear

like this:

[dry echo]

show code

[rigid sable]

so, it's optional?

[harsh dust]

Idk what is there to show?

[dry echo]

yes, but write it down

[harsh dust]

intents = discord.Intents().default()
setattr(intents, "members", True)
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=['qt!', 'QT!'], intents=intents, help_command=None)

[dry echo]

and your slash commands?

[harsh dust]

there's hundreds

[dry echo]

show one or two

and how you initialize all

[harsh dust]

each command has this as its decorator

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=NONE_TYPE)

NONE_TYPE is None

idk theres nothing to show with the slash commands

they all work fine

[dry echo]

remove the whole arg or change it two a list of ids

[harsh dust]

yeah but you need the presence intent for that right?

to specificy a guild_id

[dry echo]

no

just if a member updates a avatar or something

[harsh dust]

so it worked, Questify had the Slash Commands badge which means it worked

but then after like 30 seconds

i try repeating the last command using the up arrow and now it can't access it anymore

and questify's slash commands badge is gone

same issue with guild_ids=None

and also idk why but my on_ready function is being called like a solid 3 minutes after all the cogs are loaded which makes no sense

[dry echo]

without any code i cant help you....

[round aspen]

Hi there, I'm making a bot for a client and they keep getting this error which is stopping the bot from actually registering the slash commands

[dry echo]

show your ...

[round aspen]

which parts do you need since i cant show all of it

most of the slash commands are in cogs folders as well

[dry echo]

the ones where you use inputs

@round aspen

[round aspen]

ight

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=guildIDs)
    @commands.has_role('Staff')
    async def create_giveaway(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, 
    name: Option(str, "The name of the giveaway")):

        """Create a new giveaway (Staff Only) | Usage: esw create_giveaway <name of the giveaway>"""

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=guildIDs)
    @commands.has_role('Staff')
    async def announce_giveaway(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, 
    winners: Option(int, "The number of winners to announce (Default: 1)", required=False, default=1)):

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=guildIDs)
    @commands.has_role('Staff')
    async def delete_giveaway(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        
        """Delete the current giveaway (Staff Only) | Usage: /delete_giveaway"""

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=guildIDs)
    @commands.has_role('Staff')
    async def csv(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):

        """Returns a CSV(Excel-like file) with the current giveaway's user data (Staff Only) | Usage: /csw"""

ignore the indent with between the two decorators

@dry echo

[dry echo]

these are the only ones who uses inputs?

[round aspen]

if you mean the options type thing, then yeah

wait nvm

my bad

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=guildIDs)
    async def balance(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, 
    user: Option(discord.Member, "The user whose balance you want to check.", required=False)=None):

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=guildIDs)
    @commands.has_role('Staff')
    async def remove(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, 
        points: Option(int, "The amount of points to remove."), 
        user: Option(discord.Member, "The user to remove points from.")):

@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=guildIDs)
    @commands.has_role("Staff")
    async def add(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, 
        points: Option(int, "The amount of points to add on."), 
        user: Option(discord.Member, "The user to give points to.")):

would it be bc of the balance cmd?

[dry echo]

remove the none and use default=None

@round aspen works?

[round aspen]

ill try now and get my client to run it in a sec

[harsh dust]

yeah so I tested with a brand new file with just one command from an example and it's doing the same thing..

tokenfile = open('token.txt')
token = tokenfile.read().strip()
tokenfile.close()

bot = discord.Bot(debug_guilds=[763520052484898886])  # specify the guild IDs in debug_guilds

# since global slash commands can take up to an hour to register,
# we need to limit the guilds for testing purposes

@bot.command(description="Sends the bot's latency.")  # this decorator makes a slash command
async def ping(ctx):  # a slash command will be created with the name "ping"
    await ctx.respond(f"Pong! Latency is {bot.latency}")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in » {bot.user.name} | {bot.user.id}")

print("Running")

bot.run(token)

is there some sort of debug mode for py-cord that i can enable

or is this a discord issue

because i'm lost lol

[proud pagoda]

Do you have multiple instances of the bot running?

[harsh dust]

YE

I do

One that currently is running with text commands and this instance which is on my PC to test slash commands

[cyan quail]

don't run multiple instances at once

[harsh dust]

oh, i saw a stackoverflow thing saying it was okay to do so i thought it would be fine

[cyan quail]

*maybe* before slash commands existed but it generally isn't recommended regardless

[proud pagoda]

Yeah with slash commands it can get really screwed up

[harsh dust]

i see

[proud pagoda]

I've had this exact issue before, when I had a message command running on the beta version of the bot and not on the prod version

Every time I started the beta, the command would only be able to run once and then it would just disappear

So its highly recommended to use a separate bot during development and the actual bot for production

[harsh dust]

Yeah I do, I just wanted to test with the main bot because it's a verified bot and a little different to the testing bot

[cyan quail]

ah you didn't get intents i guess

[harsh dust]

i have the server members intent, that's it

[proud pagoda]

Then I'd recommend taking the main bot offline for a min or two and just making sure that slash commands works

[harsh dust]

Fair enough

[meager heron]

Should I care at all about a 40ms difference in ping? (Using slash commands.) Comparing a couple of different VPS providers

[cyan quail]

ehh pretty negligible

[copper dew]

dont think it's going to cause a major difference

[stuck kite]

Is there a API wrapper function that will take a jpeg file and upload it into an embed, I see a method for using a URL but nothing for uploading from the hosted computer.

[smoky forge]

?tag localfile

[obtuse junco]

f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)```

[fervent cradle]

guild.me doesn't work in overwrites after pressing button

[dry echo]

Show code

[fervent cradle]

class CreateTicket(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(emoji='📩', label='Создать тикет', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey, custom_id="create_ticket")
    async def create_ticket(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Тикет создаётся...', ephemeral=True)
        overwrites = {
            interaction.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),
            interaction.guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True)
        }

        ch = await interaction.guild.create_text_channel(name=f'{interaction.user.name}-тикет', overwrites=overwrites,
                                                         reason=f'Тикет открыт {interaction.user} (ID: {interaction.user.id})')
        

[dry echo]

What exactly doesnt work?

[fervent cradle]

user doesn't see channel

[dry echo]

view_channel=True

[fervent cradle]

bot doesn't add user to channel

[dry echo]

Sorry, without the s at the end

[prisma flicker]

Your code only lets the bot see the channel

If you want the user it's interaction.user

[dry echo]

guild.me is the bot not the owner of the bot

[fervent cradle]

ahh

Does this happen for anyone else with

How do I make an AutoCompleteContext

[dawn gyro]

HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message

but it did send hi

[dry echo]

What is self.context?

Have you defined it or is it form the super()

Try to send the string

[dry echo]

[dawn gyro]

ctx

[dawn gyro]

super()

[dry echo]

Send the string then

[dawn gyro]

I still get the same thing

[dry echo]

idk much about the help commands sorry

[round rivet]

you should return the value to be sent I believe

yeah youre right!

how can i start a game activity like chess in vc from pycord??

[errant crane]

|coro|

A shortcut method that creates an instant activity invite.

You must have the :attr:`~discord.Permissions.start_embedded_activities` permission to
do this.

Parameters
------------
activity: Union[:class:`discord.EmbeddedActivity`, :class:`int`]
    The activity to create an invite for which can be an application id as well.
max_age: :class:`int`
    How long the invite should last in seconds. If it's 0 then the invite
    doesn't expire. Defaults to ``0``.
max_uses: :class:`int`
    How many uses the invite could be used for. If it's 0 then there
    are unlimited uses. Defaults to ``0``.
temporary: :class:`bool`
    Denotes that the invite grants temporary membership
    (i.e. they get kicked after they disconnect). Defaults to ``False``.
unique: :class:`bool`
    Indicates if a unique invite URL should be created. Defaults to True.
    If this is set to ``False`` then it will return a previously created
    invite.
reason: Optional[:class:`str`]
    The reason for creating this invite. Shows up on the audit log.


Raises
-------
TypeError
    If the activity is not a valid activity or application id.
~discord.HTTPException
    Invite creation failed.

Returns
--------
:class:`~discord.Invite`
    The invite that was created.```

[smoky forge]

await voice_channel.create_activity_invite(discord.EmbeddedActivity(...))

remember discord wont verify bots that give access to embedded activities

[dry echo]

why?

[smoky forge]

#697236247739105340 message

i do think this statement is odd bc there's one bot thats verified and its entire thing is that it gives access to activities

[sick lake]

How to check if the bot is tagged?

[dry echo]

you mean in a normal message?

[olive acorn]

Hey Guys what's the latest version of Pycord?

[round rivet]

just check if the bot mention is in the message content (<@id> and <@!id>)

[coral kindle]

how can i check ping and bot uptime

[fervent cradle]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=latency#discord.Bot.latency

[round rivet]

for uptime just store the current time when the bot starts

and compare to later time

[dry echo]

#library-updates

[sick lake]

The bot’s ID?

[round rivet]

Yes

[sick lake]

Alright, thankyou!

[harsh dust]

Hey, so I'm moving my bot to slash commands but I want users to know about this change so I need to keep it so it can still read messages beginning with the command prefix.
I have the server members intent which is fine but the message content intent I don't. Do I need to enable the message_content intent manually for it to work?

intents = discord.Intents().default()
intents.members = True
# intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=['qt!', 'QT!'], intents=intents, help_command=None)

Idk because I'm pretty sure I tried enabling it yesterday but an error occured saying I don't have access to the intent

[round rivet]

yeah you'd need message content intents

you can also downgrade to api v9

#library-updates message

[harsh dust]

Ah ok

[round rivet]

where message content intents are not yet required

but will be in like 9 days

[harsh dust]

yeah

so if i switch to api v9 for now do i need to switch back to v10 on the 1st of september or will it still work fine

[cyan quail]

if discord hasn't granted you message_content and your bot's in over 100 servers, then no it will not work

[harsh dust]

gotcha

[coral kindle]

how can i send message to specific channel

[dry echo]

create channel obj and then channel.send()

[coral kindle]

what

[harsh dust]

wtf

so my bot is working, the slash commands are there but all of them apart from the ones with slash command groups ??

is it because they take a while to load?

[flat merlin]

My bot randomly stopped responding to commands. Has anything changed about the Discord API? When I first installed Py-cord version 2.0.1, everything worked just fine. Yesterday it completely stopped replying to commands. Even the old version, the exact one that worked two days ago.

[harsh dust]

they're literally not showing at all its been like 10 minutes

this is one of them
main.py

bot.groups = Placeholder()
bot.groups.completions = SlashCommandGroup("completions", "View Individual Quest Completions")

overview.py

def setup(bot):

    class Overview(commands.Cog):
        completions = bot.groups.completions

        @completions.command(name="general", guild_ids=NONE_TYPE)
        async def general_completions(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
                                      username: Option(str, "A valid Minecraft username or UUID", default="", required=False):
            """View General individual quest completions"""
            await getOverview(self.bot, ctx, "General", username, mode="completions")

[fervent cradle]

Do you have tried it from another IP or with another token?

[flat merlin]

I've tried both.

[harsh dust]

wait im dumb i think

nvm

[flat merlin]

Indeed, something unexpected changed.

Now I've got a new problem: which intent do I need to enable to create a channel? I don't want to enable all of them, so it doesn't receive tons of information it doesn't need.

It's a private channel, and it's trying to add specific users to it.

[cyan quail]

just read through https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#intents

[cyan quail]

message_content intent?

[flat merlin]

Yes, and I don't know when it has changed, and why it stopped working overnight.

I can't find what I'm looking for on that page.

[cyan quail]

what are you looking for then

if you're trying to work with guilds then surely you want the guilds intent

[flat merlin]

I've got the guilds intent enabled.

[cyan quail]

then what's the issue

[flat merlin]

[cyan quail]

just as a test, can you enable the members intent?

[flat merlin]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64476398/discord-py-id-target-id-attributeerror-nonetype-object-has-no-attribute

I've found this, but I don't want to enable strictly all intents.

I've already got the members intent enabled.

messages=True, message_content=True, members=True, typing=False, presences=False, guilds=True, reactions=True

[cyan quail]

can you show the code that triggered the error

or rather, show the overwrites object you passed in

[flat merlin]

overwrites = {
    ctx.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),
    bot_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True),
    ctx.author: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True),
    ctx.guild.owner: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True)
}```

It used to work.

[cyan quail]

can you show what happens if you print all the keys there?

at least one of them resolved to None

[celest lichen]

i'm porting my bot over from using psycopg2 to asyncpg so it runs faster - does asyncpg not require committing changes? my connection object doesn't have a .commit method so

[cyan quail]

https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/current/usage.html#transactions

[flat merlin]

🤔

Thanks, dude. That role doesn't seem to exist.

[cyan quail]

allgood

generally better to get the role by ID if you think it may change names

[flat merlin]

That was correct, I changed the role name to the new one, and it works again.

I agree with that, but isn't the role id different if the bot is in a different server?

[celest lichen]

thank you! so i should probably wrap all my queries and stuff with the async with conn.transaction() then

[cyan quail]

fair enough, but guild has a bot_role attribute i think anyway

[celest lichen]

very much still getting the hang of asyncio - it's very confusing compared to everything else i've done in python lol

[cyan quail]

guild.self_role

[flat merlin]

Interesting. 🤔

Thanks, that'll work better.

[cyan quail]

do note this isn't guaranteed to exist either though

e.g. someone invites the bot without permissions=...

may be best to validate that all the roles exist before putting it into overwrites (or conversely remove all None keys after)

[flat merlin]

Does guild.self_role return None if it doesn't exist?

[cyan quail]

yes

[flat merlin]

Thanks.

[celest lichen]

this is the func i'm using to create my db pool - the if/else is so i can run the db locally when i'm changing stuff on my pc - how do i make it so my 'conn' var is visible to my commands outside of create_db_pool itself? am i missing something really basic here

[flat merlin]

Global variable. 🤔

I created the connection globally, outside any function, and I can use it anywhere.

[celest lichen]

oh right hahaha

i sort of thought having the variable inside a function like this made it less resource intensive

i have this down at the bottom of my fle

[flat merlin]

You can create a global variable within a function too.

[full basin]

or return it and set it as a bot attribute?

[celest lichen]

so something like this?

i also read in the docs that putting my db queries outside of a .transaction thingy means they just autocommit - what's the advantage of committing with the async with bot.db.transaction() then?

[gentle flare]

Hey I want to use discord.ext.bridge for my commands but I have @commands.has_permission() in my code. How do I use has_permission with .bridge?
Can someone help me?

[prisma flicker]

does it not work with bridge?

[gentle flare]

no
My Code:

@bridge.has_permissions(administrator=True)

Error:

AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.bridge' has no attribute 'has_permissions'

But in the guide it says that bridge can do everything that commands can do

So thats why Im wondering if I did something wrong.

[prisma flicker]

what if you just do @commands.has_permission

[gentle flare]

I needed to make my commands all lowercase and now It works with

@client.bridge_command()
@commands.has_permissions()

Buts thats something thats wrong in the guide

I think Im going to add that later

[prisma flicker]

nice

The cog loads fine according to console but nothing loads and it doesn't print anything

All other cogs work fine with commands and what nots. Just this one doesn't load

[prisma flicker]

add store=False to load_extension

[gentle flare]

Ok now I have a different problem.
I can send the command with the helps of /
and it sends the message
but I get an error that the Application cant react

[prisma flicker]

you need to use ctx.respond for slash commands

[gentle flare]

this is the code

[prisma flicker]

yes change it to ctx.respond

[gentle flare]

ok do I need to do that with every message that is send from a command now?

[prisma flicker]

yes

[near hollow]

Perfect! Thanks for the help 🙂

[fervent cradle]

Hey, I want to register a command for one guild only, but it gets registert in every guild. Is there anything wrong with it?

If I simply have a discord.User (e.g. from an on_user_update event), what's the best way to ban them?

[meager mica]

i was wondering how i can make a group command in cogs

group slash command that is

nvm i manually used class

[gleaming falcon]

Thanks! Wish the event had the guild context, but I suppose that'll have to do 🙂

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome

[lapis quarry]

I'm having trouble tagging a role. I send the role ID in a message in the angle brackets like this <@&role_id> but the role does not get tagged (I don't do it within an embed).

It does result in the role name getting displayed, so I know the ID is correct, it just doesn't tag users with that role.

[dry echo]

Possible to hide Slash commands completly for users?

[prisma flicker]

If it's in a webhook (which it will be for slash commands or interaction responses) you need to adjust the allowed_mentions

[prime remnant]

@commands.has_permissions

[prisma flicker]

Use @commands.has_permissions

[lapis quarry]

Thanks!

[prime remnant]

@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)

I'm not finding such a parameter for the respond function.

you can get the channel with discord.utils.get(guild.channels, name=channel_name)

Im trying to handle the error for discord.errors.CheckFailure, but when implementing the following code, it still shows the exception. How can I get it to not raise any exceptions?

@bot.check
async def checkBlacklisted(ctx):
    if not isNotBlacklisted(ctx):
        await HandleBlacklistError(ctx)
        return False
    return True

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    pass

[tulip bobcat]

is the timeout for views reset after an interaction?
And if yes, how can I change that?

[neat temple]

update: I was able to make it work. It wasnt "on_command_error", it was "on_application_command_error"

[fervent cradle]

Is there some sort of way to catch errors with failed connection?
In pycord

like a on_error for on_ready or on_connection?

In NodeJS client.login("token")---
.catch(err() => does the thing.

[tulip bobcat]

look at the message above

[silver moat]

try:
  bot.run("defintely a real token.jpeg")
except e as Exception:
  print(f"didn't work and raised {e}") 

[fervent cradle]

Oh yeah, forgot try exists.
Thanks, this works.

[silver moat]

np

[fervent cradle]

I don't think on_command_error would work with my example.

[celest lichen]

are there any good tutorials for working with asyncpg and pycord?? i just cannot figure out how it works at all lol

[tulip bobcat]

there is an on_disconnect if that would help you

[silver moat]

search it with discord.py but they should be similar enough and be aware of changes

[silver moat]

it's not connected so how does it disconnect

[prisma flicker]

You don't need pycord specific examples, just need to know how to use it with python

[wind thunder]

is there title

kwarg in Embed.add_field?

[fervent cradle]

If the connection fails for whatever reasons, how would the on_disconnect work?

[proud pagoda]

Nope, I believe that there is a name field which effectively functions as the title of the field

[wind thunder]

so it's name

[proud pagoda]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=add_field#discord.Embed.add_field

[proud pagoda]

Yep

[cyan quail]

on_disconnect is fired for various errors such as HTTPException, GatewayNotFound and ConnectionClosed; just override it in your bot's class

or if you're not subclassing, @bot.event

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

[fervent cradle]

Guess I can implement this too then I.g

solved it by just putting a sleep() at the beginning of the task loop. i think it was just starting to early before the cache was ready

[proud mason]

You could wait for the bot to be ready before starting the loop

@post_question.before_loop
async def ready_before_loop()
    await bot.wait_until_ready()

That will only run before the first iteration iirc

How do you do slash commands again

In the prefix section

[proud pagoda]

I would recommend learning them then

[round aspen]

just add @bot.slash_commands as the decorator

or @commands.slash_command if its cogd

cogs*

[fiery tiger]

@cyan quail finally back home

life change hahaa

[hearty mauve]

Ok i got it working thanks

[meager mica]

hey guys so i was trying to add bool paramater

async def join(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, button_enabled: Option(bool)):

i also tried buttton_disabled: bool but it ownt show up

[fervent cradle]

Hello, whats wrong with the code?

            modal = ticket_modal(title="Question")
            await interaction.response.send_message(modal)

Error:
TypeError: Modal.__init__() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'title'

Discord issue:
<load.ticketsystem.ticket_modal object at 0x00000143C5C2E440>

[smoky forge]

did you pass in the kwargs in the classes' super()?

class ticket_modal(Modal):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
    ...

[fervent cradle]

ye

class ticket_modal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

[smoky forge]

try taking out *args

[fervent cradle]

okay

[fervent cradle]

no.. ```Py
super().init(**kwargs)
TypeError: Modal.init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'title'

[fiery tiger]

i restarted vsc, why is this happening

[smoky forge]

could you try defining the title in the super()

instead of when initializing the class

[fervent cradle]

okay

    super().__init__(title="Question", *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: discord.ui.modal.Modal.__init__() got multiple values for keyword argument 'title'

```Mhmmm.. :((

[meager mica]

needs help

[smoky forge]

did you take out the title parameter in the class initialization

[fervent cradle]

Ups no this is the error:

    raise HTTPException(response, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.components.0: Value of field "type" must be one of (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8).

[meager mica]

what paramater

[smoky forge]

not you

i have no idea what your error is

[fervent cradle]

😦

Oh ups i have see the error hehe i have found now the error thanks

[meager mica]

Can group commands have parameters

[silver moat]

what is a group command

[fiery tiger]

it works if i run it via python

but not if i run it via poetry

[rose lynx]

thanks that's nicer

[meager mica]

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

but i figured it out

i just made it normal then put it back and i fixed itself

but another questionnow how do i make button not timeout i but it in @discord.ui.button but it said it waas unexpected

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[meager mica]

oh thanks

[harsh dust]

idk why but with some of my slash commands that have an attachment and a view that disappears 5 minutes after the command is sent, shortly after the images are disappearing from the api resulting in them not loading

and sometimes its fine

[cyan quail]

is the command response ephemeral

[fervent cradle]

is there a way to reload cogs with the use of slash commands?

[gentle flare]

Hey I want to use PostgreSQL as my database. What libary should I use to work with psql?

[cyan quail]

asyncpg would be a decent choice

[cyan quail]

reload_extension, though your mileage may vary when it comes to updating the behaviour
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Bot.reload_extension

[gentle flare]

Ok thx I didnt find anything in the guide so I asked here. Thx

[harsh dust]

no

[iron halo]

when i start my bot sometimes it just doesnt reply to slash commands for like 10 seconds to a minute

is that discord fault

[prisma flicker]

I recommend sqlalchemy

[undone smelt]

is discord.ApplicationContext.send_response() the same as discord.ApplicationContext.respond() ?

[errant crane]

Here's the context menus example.

[meager mica]

So when getting user that clicked button do I put in button decorator interaction.user

Or is that person that caused button to be sent

[celest lichen]

trying to clean up my main.py by porting a load of my stuff to cogs - i'm quite new to using classes and stuff. why is my emoji_catch func being treated as undefined in the listener just below its definition?

ah - i think i fixed it by changing to await Emoji.emoji_catch

please forgive my spaghetti code lol

[prisma flicker]

You use it in your code, not the decorator

[copper dew]

sqlalchemy + asyncpg

[meager mica]

Like in the command function

Idk what you mean

[celest lichen]

anyone know why i'm getting this ??

tried changing it to an f-string like this

now i get this instead

[prisma flicker]

Idk what you mean

Why would you put interaction.user in the decorator

[meager mica]

i meant in the function below the decorater

but it seems to work now

[gleaming falcon]

I remember seeing a screenshot where you could pass multiple values to an argument directly into a slash command. Anyone know if that's an actual thing, or mockup/future functionality? Couldn't find any examples that used it

e.g. /mycmd opt1: A, B and both A and B were accessible in a list or something.

[prisma flicker]

I really want that but for mentions

[cyan quail]

this doesn't exist yet as far as i'm aware, but i wouldn't be too surprised if it was planned

or alternatively because this is such a popular request people were happily making mockups already

it might have also been them just using a string option since you can still technically mention and such in those, then parse it yourself after

[gleaming falcon]

The screenshot was an example where two autocomplete options were added like you would on a tag cloud. But if it's not a real thing, then no sense trying to dig it up. heh

Would definitely be great to be able to pass multiple arguments, though. Hopefully in the future, as you said.

[stuck kite]

How can I send a pagination command to a specific channel that wasn't in the interaction or context of where the user initiated the command?

[dry echo]

channel.send() ??

[stuck kite]

hmmm not sure how to make channel.send work with pagination. This is the command I am sending await paginator.send(target=channel) Where channel is a text channel object

[dry echo]

oh i see

you could send a message into another channel grab the object and pass it in reference or target ig

[stuck kite]

thanks, I'll try something like that... seems like there should be a more straight forward way for it.

[rotund current]

Quick question. I am starting to learn pyCord, but it seems that even the quickstart for slash commands is out of date, or at least the commands are not functioning as intended for me. Is this a known issue, or do I have an issue with my library install?

For example bot = discord.Bot() doesn't work. Looking around, I tried bot = commands.Bot, and while I can get the on_ready event to trigger, I can't seem to get any @bot.command() to function

[narrow moss]

how can I set timeout to none in an View class

[vital blade]

view = View(timeout=None)

for non persistent views

class myview(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

and thats how u set timeout to None in a persistent view

[copper dew]

for slash commands, use @bot.slash_command. and i think @bot.command is mainly for prefixed commands, not slash commands. If you need some examples to work with, there are some examples in the github repo (https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/tree/master/examples/app_commands).

[fervent cradle]

hi I tried makin a reload command for cogs within a slash command but apparently it only works with prefixed commands, is there any way to use bot.reload_extension in slash commands?

[nocturne canopy]

hallo can a bot read the content of a message the user replied to with the bot's prefix? if so how?

it'd also be helpful if it could find and read the latest message in chat, excluding the command message. i'm trying to make a translation thingy btw

[muted pulsar]

here's an example of how it works

[muted pulsar]

you can use slash_command and command interchangeably, there's a bridge extension plug inside the base py-cord module

[harsh dust]

its happening because i've either downgraded to v9 api or because i've transitioned from saving files and then giving the location of it to discord.File to just loading the image from memory

[muted pulsar]

you can read the last message with https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.history and break the loop if message.author != bot.user

[muted pulsar]

as for this part, you probably can via applicationContext fiddling https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#applicationcontext

just gotta dive deep into the attribute bog to find the exact thing you're looking for

[nocturne canopy]

oh it wouldn't read it if the message above was sent by the same person, right? it could instead see if the message starts with its prefix

[muted pulsar]

i'm having problems understanding your request

it would be best if you wrote an example of what's happening in the chat

User A: bonjour
User B: /translate command on the previous message
Bot: "Hello"

like this

as long as the user B uses "reply" in his command, it should be relatively easy to find the initial message

[nocturne canopy]

pretty much. have it default to the message above if the user is not replying to another message if possible

[muted pulsar]

if he does not and you want to look for the previous message

then you want to take ctx.message.id

and do the for loop

and check for message.id == the previous message variable

and when it's true, you take the next message in the list and translate it

you can get message id via Bot.get_message(id)
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Bot.get_message

sometimes that doesn't work and you have to use textchannel.fetch_message(id)

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

if you want it to work both ways, you'd need to do an if check

and check if context has a reply to somebody attribute

[nocturne canopy]

yeah that'd work. the arguments taken can be changed with it too i assume. for example, if the user is not replying to a message, take a quoted text argument as the string to translate, then the source and destination languages

[muted pulsar]

the world is your oyster

[bitter lotus]

I have error like this

``` when i try run modal by select menus
Modal is runing by this code:
```await interaction.response.send_message(viev=Modalconfident())```

Someone know why?

[nocturne canopy]

i figured out the argument priority i want, that being the input text, output language, and input language, all being optional. though i can't wrap my head around detecting if only language arguments were passed. would it be smarter (or the only possible option) to have it skip the text if a dot or some other character is passed in its place?

[dry echo]

You have to enter a title value for your value

[bitter lotus]

where? I know how to read error. When i put like this await interaction.response.send_message(viev=Modalconfident(title="test")) erorr says i can't put argument's there

[dry echo]

in your super()

[bitter lotus]

working thx

[gleaming falcon]

This sounds like a great use case for Message context commands cc: @nocturne canopy

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/Application-Commands/context-menus

[frank yew]

What is the command to see how all the Discord.colors look in discord?

[nocturne canopy]

i was trying to avoid slash commands as i don't fully understand them yet but i'll be forced to use them at some point so i'll take my shot at it now

[muted pulsar]

context menu is not really slash

[nocturne canopy]

they work on mobile also, right?

[muted pulsar]

@bot.message_command(name="Translate") 
async def get_message_id(ctx, message: discord.Message): 
    await ctx.respond(translate(message.content))

this is boilerplate for your stuff

just create the translate function

[nocturne canopy]

i should've mentioned i'm using googletrans

[muted pulsar]

doesn't really matter

this is just boilerplate to take the message and return the result of translation upon it

whatever happens in the function has no bearing on the workings of this

[nocturne canopy]

so you mean putting the logic in that new function

[muted pulsar]

just use this

btw

if you want the translation to be visible only to the person who used the command

which, i assume, would ease the flow of the dialogue

use await ctx.respond(translate(message.content), ephemeral=True)

ephemeral makes the message be only visible to the person who called the command

[sinful pivot]

I'm getting "This Interaction Failed" but I actually edit the message with a new view and change the content. How could I fix this without sending another message? (I've also tried to send a new message with the view but that won't work)

[full basin]

How are you editing the message

[proud pagoda]

interaction.response.edit_message() might work

[sinful pivot]

It's fixed.

[sinful pivot]

Yeah I figured, and it does work

[proud pagoda]

Great

Do you guys have any ideas on how to hide some data within a message

pretty much, i have a persistent view which needs to know the id of something so that it can get the data from the database when the user responds

Now, if the bot hasn't been rebooted yet, I can just pass the data in when making the view so it doesn't have to query the db

But otherwise, I need to know the unique ID so that I can get it from the db

So are there any ways to hide that within a message?

[fervent cradle]

I am facing into slash commands not showing up.
I Invited with the applications.command flag and the cog file works on a different bot...
hmm, anyone knows what shit has to be turned on so commands show up. I doubt that I am missing out on anything.

import discord
from discord import Option, OptionChoice
from discord.commands import slash_command
from discord.ext import commands


class Responsive(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @slash_command(guild_ids=get.config("gid"), description="Runtime Information")
    async def testv(self, ctx):
        await ctx.respond('test')


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

this is the slash command

"loaded via" via

for filename in listdir("./cogs"):
    if filename.endswith(".py"):
        bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

[young bone]

what is the py-cord version?

[fervent cradle]

2.0.1

[proud pagoda]

Try using @discord.slash_command(...) instead of @discord.commands.slash_command(...)

[round rivet]

add store=False to load_extension

[proud pagoda]

Hold on, where is get defined?

[fervent cradle]

get?

[proud pagoda]

You wrote this:

@slash_command(guild_ids=get.config("gid"), description="Runtime Information")

So where is get.config defined

[fervent cradle]

I am using @safe inlet_command which works in a different project.

[proud pagoda]

Alright

Then add store=False to load_extension like plun said

[fervent cradle]

from p_modules import get
from p_modules.graphical import msglist
from p_modules.utilities import logger

I added it ^

[proud pagoda]

Is that in the same file as the Responsive class?

[fervent cradle]

Yep.

[proud pagoda]

Ok good

[fervent cradle]

JUst left it away from the example because it looks weird.

[proud pagoda]

But I would recommend just adding store=False to load_extension because it also prevents other bugs from being overlooked

[fervent cradle]

Still didn't fix anything :/

[proud pagoda]

Did it cause any errors to be raised?

[fervent cradle]

nope

Also changed guild_ids, in this case: guild_ids=[123456790]
123456790 is the server ID

[proud pagoda]

Try adding this to the Responsive class:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_ready(self):
  print("Responsive cog is online")

[proud pagoda]

Alright

[proud pagoda]

this will check to see if the cog is even loaded

[fervent cradle]

yep it prints

Responsive cog is online

[proud pagoda]

Are you sure that you're running the command in the correct guild?

[fervent cradle]

It still doesn't appear.
I am sure I followed everything.
Invited bot with bots and application.commands and (administrator) flag.
channel allows application commands.

I am in only 3 guilds lmao

this, my server I am testing it and a different server.

[proud pagoda]

Ok

[fervent cradle]

and the guild I run it from has the bot + i checked the guild id and it equals to it.

[proud pagoda]

Try kicking and reinviting the bot to see if that does anything

[fervent cradle]

did it a lot

[proud pagoda]

Ok

[fervent cradle]

and then i reinivited with all the necessary flags (bots, application.commands) and I gave it administrator flag.

[gleaming falcon]

I’ve needed this before; I just added the identifier into the footer of the embed

[proud pagoda]

Oh alright thanks

[gleaming falcon]

The only other way I could see it working is if you saved a reference to the message/interaction internally

[proud pagoda]

Yeah, except I don't really want to do that so...

I think I'm just not gonna make it a persistent view

[fervent cradle]

So I guess my problem seems to be weird

I gave my friend the token who has a pycord bot and his slash commands appear on my bot..
Well on my site, nothing works... hmm

[proud pagoda]

That's strange

[fervent cradle]

the get also works, i am printing what its returning [9129492481]

[cyan quail]

isn't this the point of custom_id

[prisma flicker]

Why not use the message id?

[slender abyss]

im trying to catch slash commands from bots but idk how to
nothing is printed on the console

[young bone]

what is .listen?

[slender abyss]

you can say a replacement for client.event

[cyan quail]

from other bots?

[slender abyss]

yeah

[cyan quail]

not possible

[slender abyss]

why?

[cyan quail]

because interactions are only between the client and discord

they aren't broadcast to everyone

[slender abyss]

so i can get the interaction from message of the bot right as my bot is private bot

[cyan quail]

messages themselves don't contain interaction data

[slender abyss]

message.interaction?

[cyan quail]

that indeed exists, however if im not mistaken that isn't actually from the message and instead compiled elsewhere

[slender abyss]

let me try

[cyan quail]

my mistake, it is a part of the message; you could use message.interaction.data

but regarding command info, it will only include the command name

[proud pagoda]

I don't really want to store it in the database

Also, I realized I don't really need the view to be persistent so I just decided not to make it persistent

[slender abyss]

and what abt params?

[cyan quail]

nop

[slender abyss]

oof

[fervent cradle]

hey guys! is there a specific indent to getting a channel object from a guild object? I'm using intents = discord.Intents.guilds rn

would await self.client.get_channel(id).send(embed=embed)

work

[near hollow]

You don't need any intents for getting channel objects

[near hollow]

Hmm it should I would think assuming id isn't none

[fervent cradle]

its None though

[near hollow]

Does it error?

[fervent cradle]

error while sending, nothing else

since its none

[near hollow]

Are you sure that id is a valid channel id?

[prisma flicker]

it may not be cached, try guild.fetch_channel

[fervent cradle]

guild.fetch_channel or would client.fetch_channel work too?

[fervent cradle]

yepp

[prisma flicker]

I don't think there's a client.fetch_channel

[near hollow]

Hmmmm. Wouldn’t it just be relaxing get_ channel with fetch_channel ?

[fervent cradle]

does this look right

[prisma flicker]

yep

await on the fetch

[fervent cradle]

ah kk

[meager mica]

does pycord have modals i cant find example

[prisma flicker]

yes

[errant crane]

Here's the modal dialogs example.

[meager mica]

oh dialogs

ty

[celest lichen]

when i register a command in a cog with @commands.command(), is that a prefixed command or a slash command? or both?

[dry echo]

prefix

[fervent cradle]

works!

ty guys

[celest lichen]

how do i make them slash commands? is that possible?

[near hollow]

@safe inlet_command()

Is just slash commands in cogs

[celest lichen]

ahhhhh

[near hollow]

Uf welp

You get the point lol

[dry echo]

[celest lichen]

i'm looking at the docs for cogs - no mention made of slash commands

it just says "Every command is marked with the commands.command() decorator."

[dry echo]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

[prisma flicker]

@celest lichen try this example ^

[celest lichen]

thank you :)

[proud pagoda]

Is it possible to use buttons within ephemeral messages?

Cuz I keep getting an interaction failed error on Discord's end

[dry echo]

Yes you can

I used them

[proud pagoda]

Alright thanks for the confirmation

[dry echo]

Need some code?

[proud pagoda]

Yes please

[dry echo]

Wait a min

[dry echo]

@slash_command()
async def foo(self, ctx) -> discord.Embed:
    embed = discord.Embed() #your stuff
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=MyClass(), ephemeral=True)

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

    @discord.ui.button(label="Idk", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def callback(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"blabla", color=self.embed_color)
        embed.set_footer(text=f"ID: {interaction.user.id}", icon_url=interaction.user.display_avatar.url)
        embed.timestamp = datetime.now()
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

[proud pagoda]

Ok thanks

[fervent cradle]

Anyone knows why reload_extension won't work from within a slash command

[proud pagoda]

It works for me

Here's what my code looks like:

# Reload cogs manually
    @dev_commands.command(
        name="reload",
        description="Reload an extension",
    )
    async def reload(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, 
        extension: discord.Option(str, "The filename of the extension to reload")
    ):
        self.bot.reload_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')
        await ctx.respond(f"Reloaded **{extension}**")

[fervent cradle]

oh no, i meant slash commands

not prefixed commands

[proud pagoda]

That's a slash command

Within a slahs command group

[meager mica]

hey sso it my first time using modals and select menus but i cant figure out options heres my options code options=[discord.SelectOption(label='Red', value='Red Team', description='You Choose red team')] but i get error Ignoring exception in view <Join_Enabled timeout=None children=1> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> url=None disabled=False label='Join event' emoji=None row=None>: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/david/Documents/GitHub/creator-lazer-tag/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/view.py", line 375, in _scheduled_task await item.callback(interaction) File "/home/david/Documents/GitHub/creator-lazer-tag/cogs/message.py", line 55, in confirm_callback modal=MyModal(title="Link to Minecraft") File "/home/david/Documents/GitHub/creator-lazer-tag/cogs/message.py", line 14, in __init__ super().__init__( File "/home/david/Documents/GitHub/creator-lazer-tag/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/modal.py", line 57, in __init__ self._weights = _ModalWeights(self._children) File "/home/david/Documents/GitHub/creator-lazer-tag/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/modal.py", line 260, in __init__ children = sorted(children, key=key) File "/home/david/Documents/GitHub/creator-lazer-tag/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/modal.py", line 259, in <lambda> key = lambda i: sys.maxsize if i.row is None else i.row AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'row'

[fervent cradle]

and it does reload ur cog whenever u change it

[proud pagoda]

Yep

[celest lichen]

i have a function that i use in a couple of different listeners that checks if a message is emoji-only. it's in a cog i have for this called emoji.py. so i in my Emoji class i have my async def emoji_catch(self, msg), and then listeners for on_message and on_message_edit and stuff. when i try to call my emoji_catch function though like this: await Emoji.emoji_catch(self, message), i get an error TypeError: 'module' object is not callable??

am i calling the function wrong here?

looks like this

[meager mica]

add @staticmethod over emoji catch

i think

[celest lichen]

over the function itself you mean? like a decorator?

[meager mica]

yea

[celest lichen]

okay, i'll give that a try now

same error

so weird

[meager mica]

self.emoji_catch?

[celest lichen]

ohhhhhh that might be it

[dry echo]

self.emoji_chatch ..... Learn Python pls

[meager mica]

object oriented programming is not in most tuturials

only reason i know it is cuz i learned kotlin

[celest lichen]

that's literally what i'm doing lol

would you suggest i spend dozens of hours reading theory books or actually writing code

this is how i'm learning

self.emoji_catch giving me the same exception... rly weird

[prisma flicker]

don't name your cog Emoji, there's already discord.Emoji

name it like EmojiCog or something

[celest lichen]

ohhhhh thank you

[meager mica]

[celest lichen]

STILL getting module object not callable... wtf

[prisma flicker]

if it's not a static method you need to use self

[celest lichen]

i added @staticmethod like dwaa suggested

this is what it looks like now

[prisma flicker]

then take out the self in on_message

and static methods don't take in self

[meager mica]

i think those take sefl

self iirc

[prisma flicker]

it's static, there is no self

they take in cls

[celest lichen]

wouldn't it be unable to use self.bot.db.execute though, if i'm not giving it self?

[prisma flicker]

yes

[celest lichen]

so many i don't use staticmethod lol

[prisma flicker]

either way it can't do that

[celest lichen]

*maybe

[meager mica]

my on message works with self but idk

[prisma flicker]

you can call it self but it's really cls and it won't work

[prisma flicker]

on_message isn't static

[dry echo]

when you use self.your_def() your dont need them too

[celest lichen]

i'm very lost lol

[dry echo]

can i use commands groups in multiple cogs?

[celest lichen]

wait, is it something wrong with stripped_msg = unidecode(msg.content)??

[round rivet]

unidecode appears to be a module

that you imported

[celest lichen]

yeah, i've imported it though

[round rivet]

there's probably a function in the module you're trying to use

[meager mica]

you might have to do somthing like unicode.unicode

[celest lichen]

ohhhhhh

i think you're right

[meager mica]

from unidecode import unidecode

[celest lichen]

when i had the same function my import looked exactly like this

*same function in another file

[meager mica]

yea

[celest lichen]

before i separated this into a cog

[meager mica]

https://pypi.org/project/Unidecode/

[celest lichen]

it works 😭

everything works now ty guys for all ur help

[prisma flicker]

No problem, I hope you learned a little bit too 😊

[celest lichen]

i definitely did - quite unused to classes so it takes a bit of getting used to

[dry echo]

can someone tell me why pylance underlines me most of my code red?? like whats wrong there

I am trying to reload all slash commands without having to restart the bot and the following code only adds the new functions when its not a slash command, but when it is a slash command it does not load it. How can I reload all commands from inside the code? I already tried syncing

# Restarts cogs
    @commands.slash_command(description="Restart cogs")
    @isDeveloper()
    async def reload(self, ctx):
        cogs = [ext[:-3] for ext in listdir("./cogs/") if ext.endswith(".py")]

        embed = discord.Embed(color=0x3C3D41, timestamp=discord.utils.utcnow())
        embed.title = 'Reloading Cogs!'
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

        for cog in cogs:
            try:
                self.bot.reload_extension(f"cogs.{cog}")
                embed.add_field(name=f"Reloaded: `{cog}`", value="\uFEFF", inline=True)
                await ctx.interaction.edit_original_message(embed=embed)
            except Exception as e:
                embed.add_field(name=f"Exception ocurred: ", value=e)
                await ctx.interaction.edit_original_message(embed=embed)

        embed.title = f'Synced All Commands!'
        await ctx.interaction.edit_original_message(embed=embed)

[fervent cradle]

is there any way to have 2 sets of multiple choices on a slash command? like have 2 options with multiple choices to choose from

[dim lake]

is there a way to load n messages from a certain channel into the internal message cache on startup?

[prisma flicker]

I don't see why not, have you tried it?

[prisma flicker]

why? just fetch it, or do get then if it's None fetch

[dim lake]

wrote code for on_reaction_add(reaction, author): and it seems that if the server is active the message people are supposed to react to gets pushed out of the cache, restarting the bot doesn't help because then the message it's supposed to be looking at definitely isn't in cache

[prisma flicker]

just use on_raw_reaction_add

or consider using buttons

[dim lake]

I don't want to rewrite a ton of stuff because I do things like interacting with the reaction object that on_reaction_add passes and there isn't a reaction object in the payload parameter of on_raw_reaction_add

[prisma flicker]

you don't have to rewrite anything, you can just call on_reaction_add from on_raw_reaction_add

[dim lake]

boi

[prisma flicker]

just create the reaction object and pass it

[dim lake]

is there a get reaction? because on_raw_reaction_add doesn't give it to you

[prisma flicker]

the solution is on_raw_reaction_add, trying to prefill the cache isn't going to be reliable

a get reaction?

[fervent cradle]

yeah only one shows the options, other doesnt

[prisma flicker]

can you send your code?

[prisma flicker]

what's in the reaction object you need that's not in the payload?

[dim lake]

the methods, such as .remove

the payload object only contains the emoji and the author, not the actual reaction itself

[prisma flicker]

you'd have to call remove on the message

[dim lake]

I don't want to remove the entire message, just the reaction
on_raw_reaction_add doesn't even pass the message object, only the id

[prisma flicker]

yes you would just fetch the message

Message has a remove_reaction method

[fervent cradle]

    @commands.slash_command(description="Sets the bots presence")
    @discord.option("status", description="Set the status of the bot", choices=["online", "idle", "dnd", "invisible"])
    @discord.option("actvity", description="Sets the activity of the bot", choices=["playing", "watching", "listening", "competing", "streaming"])
    @isDeveloper()
    async def presence(self, ctx, status: str, activity: str, name: str):
        statuses = {
            "online": discord.Status.online,
            "idle": discord.Status.idle,
            "dnd": discord.Status.dnd,
            "invisible": discord.Status.invisible
        }

        activities = {
            "playing": discord.ActivityType.playing,
            "watching": discord.ActivityType.watching,
            "listening": discord.ActivityType.listening,
            "competing": discord.ActivityType.competing,
            "streaming": discord.ActivityType.streaming
        }

        status = statuses[status]
        activity = activities[activity]

        presence = discord.Activity(name=name, type=activity, status=status)
        await self.bot.change_presence(activity=presence)
        await ctx.respond(embed=discord.Embed(title="Set presence!"), ephemeral=True)

[prisma flicker]

I don't use the discord.option decorator, I use the Option typehint, and that's always worked for me

so maybe try that

[fervent cradle]

oh so i just import from discord import option and then just do opton and the stuff

[prisma flicker]

no

also you spelled activity wrong, that might be why it's not working

[fervent cradle]

oh thats it

[prisma flicker]

this is what I was talking about py async def presence(self, ctx, status: Option(str, choices=["online", "idle", "dnd", "invisible"], activity: Option(str, choices=["playing", "watching", "listening", "competing", "streaming"], name: str):

[dim lake]

@prisma flicker fetch_message can't be called without a ctx object which isn't passed into on_raw_reaction_add

[prisma flicker]

false, guild has a fetch_message method

[dim lake]

you were saying?

[prisma flicker]

sorry, it's in channel

something like await bot.get_guild(guild_id).get_channel(channel_id).fetch_message(message_id)

[dim lake]

this will get the message, and it has the reactions array

await client.get_channel(payload.channel_id).fetch_message(payload.message_id)

however there's no way to determine what reaction just occurred

[prisma flicker]

how do you figure? you have the emoji, member, and message

[dim lake]

reactions array only shows you count, not users

[prisma flicker]

don't use the reaction array

use the payload.emoji and payload.user_id

[dim lake]

I'm looking for a reactions object to call .remove on
is there a remove somewhere else I can call?

msg has a remove_reaction

[prisma flicker]

you would call remove_reaction on msg yes

[dim lake]

yea it doesn't take user_id though

[prisma flicker]

well yeah, you need to turn user_id into a user

it takes a discord.User not an int

[dim lake]

yea the user object is exposed in the raw_reaction_add payload so that's simple to pass in

thanks

[indigo badger]

For some reason VS code tells me I have 4 arguments when in this code I only have three on the line

@Client.command()
@commands.Cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user) #This is the line
async def withdraw(ctx : commands.Context, amount: int):
  wallet, bank, maxbank = await get_balance(ctx.author)
  try:
    amount = int(amount)
  except ValueError:
    pass
  if type(amount) == str:
    if amount.lower() == "max" or amount.lower == "all":
      amount = int(bank)
  else:
    amount = int(amount)

  bank_res = await update_bank(ctx.author, -amount)
  wallet_res = await update_wallet(ctx.author, amount)
  if bank_res == 0 or wallet_res == 0:
    return await ctx.send("No account was found so one was made for you")
  
  wallet, bank, maxbank = await get_balance(ctx.author)
  em = discord.Embed(title=f"{amount} coins have been withdrew")
  em.add_field(name="New Wallet", value=wallet)
  em.add_field(name="New Bank", value=f"{bank}/{maxbank}")
  await ctx.send(embed=em)

@commands.Cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user)
TypeError: Cooldown.__init__() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given

Error. ^^^

I looked it over and can only see three there.

[prisma flicker]

should it be @commands.cooldown()?

[frank yew]

Can someone help me if I have a list in like this: ["a", "b"] and want to fill it to a certain length with the same pattern? Length 4 ["a", "b", "a", "b"] or Length 8 ["a", "b", "a", "b", "a", "b"]. I don't know how to do it

[prisma flicker]

just do ["a","b"]*4 or whatever

=>>> x=['a','b']
>>> x*4
['a', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'b']```

[wooden zenith]

how do i make it so i can have multiple buttons on the same command beacsue currently i have one command that is /homepage and when the command activates i have the button thats is log in but i wanna make multiple buttons instead of just one here is the code i have if anyone wants to fix and write back!

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="login", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="")
async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("no log in yet sorry!")

@bot.slash_command()
async def homepage(ctx):
await ctx.respond("homepage", view=MyView())

[prisma flicker]

just add another button, with a unique callback name

[wooden zenith]

sorry im kinda new to coding lol, can u explain further

[prisma flicker]

so like add another @discord.ui.button

and another callback

[wooden zenith]

how do i do the call ack just take async def button_callback(self, button, interaction): and replace what?

[prisma flicker]

yeah but don't name it button_callback

[wooden zenith]

okay thanks let me try this!

[prisma flicker]

I would name your first one login or login_callback

[frank yew]

Thanks. So simple 😂

[wooden zenith]

@discord.ui.button(label="get,code", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="👩🏻‍💻")
async def poop_callback(self, button, interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("cant get code yet!")

i have that and got syntax error did i do it wrong

[prisma flicker]

what's the syntax error say

[prisma flicker]

looks like your indentation is wrong

[wooden zenith]

o

okay

stil no work

oh wait i fixed it thank you

[dim lake]

@prisma flicker on_raw_reaction_remove passes none as the member in the payload object

and you can't just fetch the user apparently

        author = await client.get_user(payload.user_id)

TypeError: object User can't be used in 'await' expression

[prisma flicker]

get doesn't need await

[dry echo]

when i use this decorator, does it only affect on every user or only onto the executor?

@commands.cooldown(1, 15, commands.BucketType.user)

[cyan quail]

that's every user, but you can use dynamic_cooldown to create a custom function that would be able to differentiate between users or other criteria

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

[dry echo]

so just replace cooldown with dynamic_cooldown?

[cyan quail]

not quite; the usage is a bit different

we should probably have an example for it

[simple canopy]

i'm pretty sure he is asking about Who will get slowmoded cooldowned

[cyan quail]

hm?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i see

[simple canopy]

BucketType.user only affects the executor

[cyan quail]

^ my mistake

everyone will be affected by the cooldown separately

[simple canopy]

however, .guild (or its .server not sure) affects whole guild

[dry echo]

so just leave it as it is?

[simple canopy]

yea

[dry echo]

okay thanks

[simple canopy]

this should work on prefixed commands, but i didn't test it with / ones

[cyan quail]

it'll work with slash too

[dry echo]

i only use slash

[cyan quail]

all ext decorators will

[wooden zenith]

hello, does anyone here have a code that could make something like this with a box like that with words in it?

[dry echo]

pls what

[wooden zenith]

huh

[dry echo]

mean an embed??
