[grizzled sentinel]

Handel button presses, yes (if they were persistent)
Commands, no (there is a very small chance you will get your bot restarted in 3 seconds)
Deferred commands, im not sure.

[lime lichen]

i was more interested in View.children

[grizzled sentinel]

get_x trys to find the thing in the bots cache, if get_x returns None than use fetch_x

[grizzled sentinel]

yes, you just need to set it up like this

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

sus

[lime lichen]

hey thats all im interested in

[fervent cradle]

How can i take datetime.datetime and output something like In {time} minutes!

[fervent cradle]

Damn

[grizzled sentinel]

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

The actual markdown is <t:123:R>

<t:123:R>

where 123 is seconds from epoch

[fervent cradle]

well i was saying if i wanted to convert something like 2022-08-26 13:17:47.949812+00:00 to minutes like in 30 minutes the max it could be is one hour because thats the loop time

[grizzled sentinel]

Ah ok, the datetime object should have an attribute minutes

nvm

you would need to subtract the datetime object from now, than you could get minutes

[fierce elm]

which would be a timedelta

[grizzled sentinel]

^

[fervent cradle]

so this (what u stated above) would not work?

[grizzled sentinel]

it would

[grizzled sentinel]

this would not

[grizzled sentinel]

I think this is better UI becouse it countsdown in realtime

[fervent cradle]

So it would work

[grizzled sentinel]

yes

[fervent cradle]

or should i do something like this

[grizzled sentinel]

I prefer the discord timestamp, to me it is cleaner and more accurate. (Also less calculations for you)

[fervent cradle]

👍

Thanks

[amber shale]

why is my guild.categoeries and channels returns a empty list?

guild != None and i am using it to get category by id [get(guild.categories, id=category_id)]

[real warren]

I'm getting "In 2: Application command names must be unique"
but I'm pretty sure that there's no duplicates

[young bone]

Did you check all the files?

[real warren]

ye

[tiny wagon]

how can i use variables in button label in subclassed buttons?

[stuck sparrow]

how to delete/unregister a slash command?

ok nvm it just had to cache for few minutes

my bad

[slender abyss]

i have a doubt
is there a ratelimit on interactions

like how many interaction can bot take at a time

[cyan quail]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#endpoints

The endpoints below are not bound to the application's Global Rate Limit.

there's probably a ratelimit on interactions, but it's completely separate from your other bot ratelimits

[little hill]

So the Bot class has these lines in on_application_command_error

command = context.command
if command and command.has_error_handler():
    return

cog = context.cog
if cog and cog.has_error_handler():
    return

What do I need to do to essentially turn that into

if command has been handled by a per-cog or per-command error handler:
  return

I only want the global error handler to trigger if the error has not been handled already by another error handler

(If this is going to be a long discussion/better suited for its own thread, let me know and I can move it)

[cyan quail]

this is exactly what it does though

[little hill]

well say i have this (pop is a slash command)

@pop.error
async def on_application_command_error(self,
    ctx: ApplicationContext, error: DiscordException
):
    if isinstance(error, CommandOnCooldown):
        await ctx.respond(
            "stuff",
            ephemeral=True,
        )
        return

    else:
        raise error

right now, if an error such as Forbidden is raised by pop, the bot's error handler ignores it entirely, when ideally it would run through its own ifinstance checks

[cyan quail]

what about just raise

[proud pagoda]

Just use a global error handler then

[cyan quail]

well the point is the custom handler should handle specific cases, while the global is a catch-all

[little hill]

basically a backup error handler

[proud pagoda]

Yeah but then what's the point in it going through the isinstance checks?

[little hill]

to give the correct response per error type

[cyan quail]

because you want specific behaviour...?

[proud pagoda]

I thought by:

if an error such as Forbidden is raised by pop, the bot's error handler ignores it entirely, when ideally it would run through its own ifinstance checks
You meant you wanted it to go through the bot's own checks and dispatch a response

[cyan quail]

what he means is the custom handler is being used to specifically handle CommandOnCooldown

but if he has a condition for Forbidden in his global handler, it will never be reached because the custom handler is in the way

[little hill]

the global one also has CommandOnCooldown, for other commands that may raise it but don't have their own error handling for that specific error

[proud pagoda]

Oh, so the error handler should be used only for certain errors?

[little hill]

for the command-specific one, yes

[cyan quail]

you could remove the if command and command.has_error_handler():, but then you could run into multiple error handlers running for 1 error

[little hill]

yeah

which is messy

[proud pagoda]

Isn't there a way to run the bot's error handler manually?

[cyan quail]

true

[proud pagoda]

Like bot.on_application_command_error(error)

So you can use isinstance to check the error within the command's error handler, and then add an else and run this ^

[little hill]

the same logic would apply, meaning it would do nothing because it detected that there is a per-command handler

[cyan quail]

no he's right

if you invoke it manually, you can just remove the has_error_handler lines

hm

well

ehhhhh

[little hill]

that would still end up with multiple handlers per error, if the global and per-command handlers both handle CommandOnCooldown

[proud pagoda]

Hold on, why are you using the default error handler anyway?

[cyan quail]

as in, he wants to use the has_error_handler logic in their global handler

[proud pagoda]

If you want the same behavior as it from within the command's error handler, then in the else just write:

print(f"Ignoring exception in command {context.command}:", file=sys.stderr)
traceback.print_exception(type(exception), exception, exception.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)

Oh

[little hill]

I don't want to copy-paste the entire logic of a global error handler each time that I want to have a per-command handler :/

[proud pagoda]

how about you add a param called smthn like check_handler, and set default to True, but pass False in the else for the command error handler so it skips checking whether there is already an error handler for the command

[little hill]

elaborate

[cyan quail]

maybe we should allow users to return True/False if an error was handled

and then override how they're dispatched

[little hill]

I'm surprised that a solution doesn't already exist for this, I feel like it is a commonly used thing

[proud pagoda]

Here's a code example:

async def on_application_command_error(ctx, error, check_handler=True):
  if check_handler:
    # Perform the logic necessary to check whether the command already has its own error handler
    ...  

  # Handle the error
  ...

@pop.error
async def pop_error(ctx, error):
  if isinstance(error, ErrorType):
    # Handle the error
    ...
  else:
    await on_application_command_error(ctx, error, check_handler=False)

[cyan quail]

oh that's true

you can mess with the global handlers args as long as you make them optional

hmm

that'd still fail in theory though py finally: ctx.bot.dispatch("application_command_error", ctx, error) so global would run anyway with check=True

[little hill]

Oh that's smart

this works!

thanks :D

[stuck sparrow]

how does variables work in pycord like for example economy system vars idk

[fervent cradle]

Is there a way to get the number of users in a guild without intents?

[fervent cradle]

???

[stuck sparrow]

variables

idk

[fervent cradle]

bro

learn python first.

[stuck sparrow]

MAN

not these variables

like variables set for users, servers etc

[cyan quail]

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

[fervent cradle]

tyy

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome!

[meager heron]

I'm trying to use the new SlashCommand.mention via ctx.command.mention. I get this output:
</character image upload:None>
Is this expected? I assumed it would look something similar to other mentions.

[smoky forge]

i think this is a problem with parent commands

[meager heron]

Ah, you mean it doesn't work with slash command groups/subcommands?

[sinful pivot]

Before you try to help me, let me just tell you. I do not know much about reaction events.

I've been trying to make a thing that if someone reacts to the bot's message with a certain reaction it will do something. I've been trying to get this done using the on_raw_reaction_add event. When I try to get the message(to check if the message author is the bot) it returns None. I'm trying to do it using self.bot.get_message since I would have to make like 3 API calls if I was going to do it using fetch_message

[smoky forge]

all command.mention does is format it into a string but if the command has a parent then it doesn't work for some reason

[sinful pivot]

What could I do?

[meager heron]

Gotcha. That's a shame. Thanks

[smoky forge]

you could upload the issue to the repo

cuz idk if its intended behavior

[round rivet]

it's not

it should be fetching the id from the parent command

[smoky forge]

you get the msg and if its not found you fetch it

[meager heron]

I'll be honest, I figured it was a Discord issue, lol

[sinful pivot]

I tried, doesn't work.

[smoky forge]

message returns none for messages sent after the bots restart

[sinful pivot]

ik

ok nvm i got it working

[meager heron]

So I'm running through the debugger. cmd.parent gives me character image as expected. cmd.parent.id is still None. Bringing it further back to cmd.parent.parent gives character, but cmd.parent.parent.id is also None

And SlashCommandGroup has no mention attribute

[round rivet]

the id on the top level command should be set from me experience

[sinful pivot]

Can anyone now help me with how I would actually do it? Is this how?py if message.author.id == self.bot.user.id: if message.emoji == "emoji unicode here": print("Someone has reacted to the bot using the emoji")

[round rivet]

although I haven't actually touched the groups with get_command because it doesn't seem to work

[round rivet]

looks right to me

[sinful pivot]

k ill test it out

Doesn't work sadly

no errors aswell

Here's my whole code: py @commands.Cog.listener() async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, payload): message = self.bot.get_message(payload.message_id) if message is None: channel = self.bot.get_channel(payload.channel_id) message = await channel.fetch_message(payload.message_id) if message.author.id == self.bot.user.id: if message.emoji == "👋": await message.reply("Test")

hmm, i'll try to print message.emoji

[round rivet]

message.emoji doesn't exist

it'd be in payload

[sinful pivot]

oh yeah im dumb

``` this messes it up

I did a print before it, it prints out. The prints inside that do not

Seems out, both the values are different

oh wait! It's not a bot's message I'm testing it on my own message, sorry lol

Do I need to get the emoji object and compare it to that? The emoji doesn't seem to be equal.

[amber shale]

i use db for storing user/guild information

[stuck sparrow]

ok

[sinful pivot]

Can anyone help me? The emoji seems to be the same. I'm getting \👋 as a print and I'm doing:

if payload.emoji == "👋":
    print("test")```

[shy crow]

Hey. How can i lock all commands in a Cog to a specific Channel Category with @before_invoke

[cyan quail]

before_invoke takes a ctx parameter you can use, but you should ideally be using checks for this anyway
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#checks

[sinful pivot]

??

[cyan quail]

payload.emoji isn't a string

The custom or unicode emoji being used.

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

[sinful pivot]

how do I compare it though..

I tried to get the thing

[cyan quail]

read the link there and you'll see

[sinful pivot]

I literally have..

[shy crow]

Thank you!!

[shy crow]

can i catch which check failed?

[young bone]

avatar.url?

[shy crow]

no i mean i have a check function which checks if the command used in a specific category

to catch which check failed if i have multiple

[cyan quail]

different checks raise different variants of CheckFailure; e.g. has_role raises MissingRole, has_permissions raises MissingPermissions and so on
you can see all of them at https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#checks

[stoic peak]

i need some help with some coding

i do not know what to run this on

[prisma flicker]

Don't ask to ask

[stoic peak]

k.

[loud holly]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/wait_for_event.py#L14

is this example up to date? line 38

examples/wait_for_event.py line 14

async def on_ready():```

[hushed ledge]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[grizzled sentinel]

no

[grizzled sentinel]

works for me on 2.1.1
(waiting for timeout was the issue for you?)

[loud holly]

yeah the timeout error

[loud holly]

I have to switch to 2.1.1?

[grizzled sentinel]

what version are you on now?

[loud holly]

2.0.1

[grizzled sentinel]

yeah, I would upgrade, no downside. Not sure why it does not work on that version

[loud holly]

are there any changes needed to make on upgrading?

[grizzled sentinel]

There are not any breaking changes mentioned in the update

[loud holly]

thanks for the summarised info, I don't always know what the new versions are all about (probably bc I don't use the features that are broken)

[grizzled sentinel]

👍

[loud holly]

same error

[grizzled sentinel]

Well, than i think it must have something to do with the interpreter or something.
You are using the imports and slash command exactly how theyare in the example correct?

[loud holly]

yup

[shy crow]

and with a check that does a comparision like:

def check_team_category(ctx):
    return ctx.channel.category_id == TEAM_CAT_ID or ctx.channel.category_id == LOG_CAT_ID

[cyan quail]

if you made a custom check then it'll be CheckFailure

[loud holly]

@bot.slash_command(name="guess", description="Guess a number between 1 and 10!")
    async def guess_number(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.respond("Type in your number. *(It should be between 1 and 10)*")

        def is_valid_guess(m: discord.Message):
            # This function checks three things at once:
            # - The author of the message we've received via
            #   the wait_for is the same as command author.
            # - The content of the message is a digit.
            # - The digit received is within the range of 1-10.
            # If any one of these checks fail, we ignore this message.
            return m.author == ctx.author and m.content.isdigit() and 1 <= int(m.content) <= 10

        answer = random.randint(1, 10)

        try:
            guess: discord.Message = await bot.wait_for("message", check=is_valid_guess, timeout=5.0)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            return await ctx.send_followup(f"Sorry, you took too long it was {answer}.")

        if int(guess.content) == answer:
            await guess.reply("You are right!", mention_author=True)
        else:
            await guess.reply(f"Oops. It is actually {answer}.", mention_author=True)

[grizzled sentinel]

Python 3.8 or greater?

[loud holly]

only change I had to do was mention asyncio.TimeoutError

3.9 i believe

[grizzled sentinel]

I did the same when testing

[loud holly]

does the timeout thing work?

[grizzled sentinel]

yes, it sends the "sorry you took to long" message

can you show the full traceback

[loud holly]

that's the breakpoint of the error

ok so without these, it works fine

[grizzled sentinel]

whatever that is must not be flawless

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[loud holly]

Well that's great then 😭

[grizzled sentinel]

what is it?

[loud holly]

I mainly use the breakpoints so I can catch errors however if that gets in the way then I won't be able to catch errors easily (I'm using the wait for ... for applications via DMs)

[grizzled sentinel]

I have just never seen breakpoints like that

[loud holly]

u use VSC? I wonder if u have it use the breakpoints on error that it'll pop up with the same error

[grizzled sentinel]

No i dont use VSC

[pearl sail]

How can i make a slash command which output is only visible to the user that invoked the command?

nevermind found it 👍

[night warren]

Hi, I have a category that makes all the channels created within it restricted to some roles. However, applying permission overwrites to a user will unsync the channel's permission from the category permissions, thus making the channel visible to all roles. How may I sync everything except for the overwrite?

[fervent cradle]

ephemeral=True

[naive remnant]

How can make slash commands of my bots working in the servers he's in

[full basin]

Wdym

[young bone]

set the guild id in the command?

[naive remnant]

I know I have to use a for loop

But how's the code

[young bone]

??

[full basin]

What?

Just make it a global command.

[young bone]

^

[naive remnant]

Whatt

So it can be used in all servers?

[full basin]

Just don't set any guild id

[young bone]

remove the guild ids stuff to get it global

[naive remnant]

It will not work

[young bone]

?

[full basin]

?tag idw

[obtuse junco]

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

[naive remnant]

I removed it now and all of the slash commands desapeared

[young bone]

it takes some time to see them

[naive remnant]

Nvm I have an idea

What's the code for getting guild id

[young bone]

.

[naive remnant]

.

[young bone]

if you do it with the guild id you have to restart the bot?

[naive remnant]

Yes

How much time it takes to register?

[young bone]

without the guild id?

[naive remnant]

Yes

[young bone]

that last information I know it can take 1h

[naive remnant]

Okay but it will work on every server?

[young bone]

yes

[naive remnant]

Okay tnx

[young bone]

I had it that it was still after hours not at some server and idk why but...

[naive remnant]

Okay

[iron halo]

i made a modal using the example but it keeps telling me File "bot.py", line 1845, in apply modal = test_modal(title="test modal") File "bot.py", line 1818, in __init__ discord.ui.InputText( TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'InputText'

oh 🤦‍♂️

thanks

[surreal glade]

does anyone know how to make a button that when clicked, deletes the message that the button is attached to?

Like a cancel button

[grizzled sentinel]

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

[surreal glade]

thx

[surreal glade]

wait it says its an unresolved reference

[grizzled sentinel]

can you show the callback

[grizzled sentinel]

can you paste the whole callback function :)

[surreal glade]

shit that indentation one sec

        @discord.ui.button(label="Mark User", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger, emoji="❕", )
        async def button_cback(self, button, interaction):
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Moderation Action", color=0xff0000)
            embed.add_field(name=f"✅ {user} marked!", value=reason, inline=False)
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
            role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="marked")
            await user.add_roles(role) #add the role marked to the user
            await delete_original_message(delay=None)```

there

[young bone]

you use ctx.send in a button?

[surreal glade]

yea...

[grizzled sentinel]

also you need interaction.response. in front of the delete_orig...

[surreal glade]

alr one sec

[young bone]

interaction.delete_original_message()?

[grizzled sentinel]

shoot, they are right ^ no response

[grizzled sentinel]

@surreal glade

[surreal glade]

ye

oh no response ok

[young bone]

can you send the code again?

[surreal glade]

        @discord.ui.button(label="Mark User", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger, emoji="❕", )
        async def button_cback(self, button, interaction):
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Moderation Action", color=0xff0000)
            embed.add_field(name=f"✅ {user} marked!", value=reason, inline=False)
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
            role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="marked")
            await user.add_roles(role) #add the role marked to the user
            await interaction.delete_original_message(delay=None)

[young bone]

you have still ctx.send

[surreal glade]

oh lmao

i swear i replaced that

oh wait i replaced it in the wrong button cback function

        @discord.ui.button(label="Mark User", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger, emoji="❕", )
        async def button_cback(self, button, interaction):
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Moderation Action", color=0xff0000)
            embed.add_field(name=f"✅ {user} marked!", value=reason, inline=False)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
            role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="marked")
            await user.add_roles(role) #add the role marked to the user
            await interaction.delete_original_message(delay=None)

so here is the code but it is deleting the embed instead of the original message which contains the button

[surreal glade]

^

[grizzled sentinel]

Delete the message before you send a new one i guess

[prisma flicker]

Or store the message

[surreal glade]

how do i do that

[prisma flicker]

message = interaction.original_message I think

[young bone]

^

[grizzled sentinel]

It feels like a bug the the original_messages changes

[surreal glade]

ye thats what im saying

[prisma flicker]

Yeah maybe

But I think I use "original_message" as the response sometimes so fixing it would be a breaking change 💀

[surreal glade]

@prisma flicker do u have any idea on how to set the character length for a cmd arg, im making a warn command and when it outputs the reason it only outputs the first word

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[prisma flicker]

Does this help ↑

[night cargo]

How do I send a datetime like this

[simple canopy]

?tag Timestamps

[obtuse junco]

To make a timestamp you need a unix timestamp. Then, put your time and date into the converter and copy the "Unix Timestamp" (https://www.unixtimestamp.com/) Then to use the timestamp, follow this syntax: <t:COPIED_TIMESTAMP_HERE:FORMAT>

Where it says FORMAT, you can put a few different things:

R: Relative, says "two weeks ago", or "in 5 years"

D: Date, says "July 4, 2021"

T: Time, "11:28:27 AM"

F: Full, "Monday, July 4, 2021 11:28:27 AM"

Example: (note: 1000190514 is Unix time for 11 September 2001)

<t:1000190514:R> -> says 20 years ago
<t:1000190514:D> -> says 11 September 2001
<t:1000190514:T> -> says 12:11:54
<t:1000190514:F> -> says Tuesday, 11 September 2001 12:11

[grizzled sentinel]

OR use this in your code
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=utils#discord.utils.format_dt

[surreal glade]

im talking abt normal text cmds

for example if i do %moderate @prisma flicker pycord is the best (pycord is the best being the reason), and i output that message to a channel, it will just print out "pycord" aka the first word

[full basin]

How are you defining the function parameters

[surreal glade]

async def button_cback(self, button, interaction)

[full basin]

What

That's not a command?

[surreal glade]

wait

u just said funciton params

here

async def moderate(ctx, user: discord.Member, reason):

[full basin]

You add * before the argument to make it multi-word. Otherwise they only the one word

[surreal glade]

ah so like this

async def moderate(ctx, user: discord.Member, *reason)

[full basin]

Yes

Iirc that also works

[surreal glade]

@full basin gave me this ```diff

• TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "tuple") to str```

[full basin]

Do (..., *, reason: str)

[prisma flicker]

When I did prefix I never had more than ctx and would do it all manually

async def moderate(ctx):

user = ctx.message.mentions[0]
reason = ctx.message.split(" ")[2:]

[surreal glade]

it worked

tyty

[round rivet]

The point of ext.commands is that you wouldn't have to do it yourself ;-;

[patent halo]

Is discord.ext.pages.Paginator not supposed to work with discord.File objects? If not are there any plans to make it accept files as pages?

Well now with slash commands I don't 😛

I think either d.py had bad examples or people gave me bad advice, or the bot I copied from did it that way so I just kept doing it that way

Or more likely a combination

Here's the persistent example.

[amber shale]

how to get categories in a guild

i cant get it throught guild.categories or guild.by_categories()

but i was able to get roles

reinvited bot with admin permission still it is empty

intents = Intents.all()

[thorny breach]

Is their a method to sync a channels permissions with it's category, I couldn't find Anything in the docs.

[amber shale]

i found the problem (it is not in cache) but how to solve it, i want to change permission of a category..

[fervent cradle]

is there a way to fetch a discord user directly without fetching a guild first

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=guild#discord.Guild.fetch_channels
Sort through to yet the categories

[amber shale]

i got category by that but when i do category.text_channels

empty

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=guild#discord.CategoryChannel.overwrites_for
Get the category permissions like this.
Than set the channels permissions like this
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=guild#discord.CategoryChannel.set_permissions

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=get_or_fetch#discord.Bot.get_or_fetch_user
Note this will give a user not a member there is a difference

[grizzled sentinel]

And there are text channels under it?

[amber shale]

yeah

[fervent cradle]

thanks! also my on_guild_join doesn't seem to work

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_guild_join(self, guild):
        guild = await self.client.fetch_guild(guild.id)
        log.info(f"I just joined a server: {guild.id}")

it doesn't even print

[grizzled sentinel]

Is anything outputed if you use categorie.channels just to test?

[grizzled sentinel]

From the docs

This requires Intents.guilds to be enabled.

[fervent cradle]

ahh

[amber shale]

empty list

[] <class 'discord.channel.CategoryChannel'>

is that a problem? channel.CategoryChannel?

[grizzled sentinel]

Actually ya know what fetch channels likely updates the cache so after fetching try guild.catagories again

[amber shale]

still empty

i have weird problems every time

[grizzled sentinel]

Can you show the code of how you are sgorting out the categories?

[dry echo]

is it possible to grey out user commands for some people?

[grizzled sentinel]

Iirc this id done in the integrations tab

[amber shale]

channels = await guild.fetch_channels()
print(guild.categories)
object = get(channels, id=object_id)```

object = category here

wait is object a reserved word 🤦

[grizzled sentinel]

And ID is the id of the categorie channel?

Ohhhh, lol

[amber shale]

from db and it is verified

[amber shale]

i was being artistic

object_id = task.get("channel_id", None) or task.get("category_id", None)

task is a dictionary that has channel_id or category_id

[grizzled sentinel]

Would that not get a channel id forst?

First*

Did changing away from object help?

[dry echo]

but inside the code

[amber shale]

no

[amber shale]

https://pastebin.com/EsYxttaN

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/EsYxttaN

[amber shale]

no it didnt

[grizzled sentinel]

Not for "some people" but people without a specific permission yes.

[dry echo]

sorry i meant roles or guild perms

[amber shale]

@commands.has_guild_permission(ban_members=True)

to check if user has a permission to ban members

[dry echo]

i know that one, but then its invisible, but i want to just show it as disabled

[grizzled sentinel]

I think chesks like has_permissions() would work

Oop I was beat to it

[amber shale]

it will create an error and you can reply when that happen

[grizzled sentinel]

I dont think discord has grayed out commands anymore. They are just hidden now

Sorry I gtg tho.

[amber shale]

👋

[dry echo]

this image is from this server a year ago....discord what have you done

[amber shale]

sorry

[fervent cradle]

hey

guild_ids don't work for me, adding it to a pre-existing slash cmd

[full basin]

It's guild_ids=[...]

[fervent cradle]

sorry typing mistake, yes that's what I'm doing

[full basin]

What owner_guilds contains

[fervent cradle]

DEBUG | ['880368659858616321', ' 956173253469151253']

oh i think this is the issue, it should be int right-

[full basin]

Yes

[fervent cradle]

[fervent cradle]

after fixing that the cmd shows up in other servers too

DEBUG | [880368659858616321, 956173253469151253]

import discord

bot = discord.Bot(debug_guilds=[...]) # 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.run("TOKEN")

any help would be appreciated

I would like to have global commands instead of server specific ones tho

[fervent cradle]

from discord.ext import commands?

[fervent cradle]

@slash_command(description="Sends the bot's latency.")
async def ping(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
await ctx.respond(f"Pong! Latency is {bot.latency}")

or this i don't know o_o

[fervent cradle]

pip install remove debug_guilds first of all
then get rid of whatever discord package you have and do pip install py-cord

[bleak cloud]

how do i access the value of discord.SelectOption?
Select.values returns only the name of selected items

[full basin]

select.values returns a list with the selected options values

Either the name or value you set through value=...

[bleak cloud]

oh wait, so not the labels?

[full basin]

Returns the label if didn't set a value

[bleak cloud]

i see, thanks a lot!

[fervent cradle]

picrel, as I said, I do not have discord.py or discord (the package) installed

[fervent cradle]

pip install py-cord

oh he's back

I am not offline, just invisible, plus that's an alt

ahh

[fervent cradle]

done already

there is no import error

[fervent cradle]

try running now

uninstall the package

the same error

alright

[full basin]

Do pip freeze and show

[full basin]

.

[fervent cradle]

alr

I got a list of packages,

u want a screenshot of those?

[full basin]

Yes..

[fervent cradle]

weird, I have this installed

[full basin]

There you go

[full basin]

That's your conflicting library

[fervent cradle]

ah so I'll uninstall

that one, and retry the command?

[full basin]

And you're using py-cord 1.7.3

My god that's old as hell

[fervent cradle]

so that's outdated

okie

[full basin]

pip install -u py-cord==2.1.1

[fervent cradle]

the default version that installs seems to be 1.7.3 too

[full basin]

#library-updates

Should work

pip install -U py-cord==2.1.1

[fervent cradle]

i think I found the issue lmao

gimme a sec

I am using python 3.9

eee

[cyan quail]

1.7.3 definitely isn't the default, since the latest release on pip is 2.1.1
your pip command is probably running on a version lower than 3.8, in which case instead of pip use py -3.9 -m pip

[fervent cradle]

yeah I did the big goofy

sorted it out rn

yep everything is smooth, except slash commands arent registered

that's weird cause I checked out application.command everywhere

[rare ice]

With commands.FlagConverter, how can I make a flag where when the flag is provided in the command (e.g. ?myflagname (no value here)) it returns a specific value, but it doesn't fall back on it's default value as None? so that I can do something like !warn @member ?dm so that when the flag ?dm is provided it is True but when not provided, it's False. not sure if this is possible?

[cyan quail]

can't you already set the default values

[fervent cradle]

Hey,
can i remove all previous rights of a channel, even from roles rights?

[rare ice]

but that seems to go to that when a value of the flag isn't provided

i want to be able to set a value for the flag when the value isn't provided (!warn @member ?dm) but still have a value when the flag itself isn't provided (!warn @member).

[cyan quail]

im not quite sure what you're going for, but flagconverter is explored in some more detail at https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/commands.html#flagconverter

[rare ice]

like do you know the bot Wick?

how it uses it's own flags for commands

[cyan quail]

you mean completely reset channel permissions?

nop

[fervent cradle]

yes

[cyan quail]

try https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.set_permissions with overwrite=None

oh wait

[rare ice]

would this be it or something?

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

[cyan quail]

idk give it a try, i've read all about flagconverter but i've never actually tried it myself

[fervent cradle]

But with this I don't reset all just the member permissions or I specify a role but I want to do this without specifying anything, is that possible?

[cyan quail]

hold on

[cyan quail]

try https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit but with overwrites={}

basically an empty dict so discord would reset them

[tiny wagon]

how can i use variables in button label in subclassed buttons?

[fervent cradle]

but I still have to hand over the role, don't I?

[cyan quail]

if it's a self variable you can't in the decorator, but what you could try inside the init is self.button_function_name.label="..."

[cyan quail]

no?

[tiny wagon]

oh lemme try

[fervent cradle]

But he change not the permissions

[fervent cradle]

await channel.set_permissions(overwrites={}) i have get the channel.

so channel is my channel object whats the permissions changed

but he don't change the permissions

[dry echo]

channel.edit

[cyan quail]

^ i linked channel.edit, not set_permissions

[fervent cradle]

ups yeah thanks

[fervent cradle]

I only looked at the old link but not the new one, I thought it was the same, my bad. thanks

[cyan quail]

nice

[fervent cradle]

hello folks

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: '_MissingSentinel' object has no attribute '_get_overridden_method'
I was going for a fetch avatar from url
this is my code so far

utilitycom = bot.create_group("utility", "Use for userinfo, serverinfo, etc")

    member =  discord.Member = None
    if not member:
        member = ctx.message.author

    await ctx.send(userAvatar)

[full basin]

member = discord.Member = None?

[fervent cradle]

oh

[full basin]

The hell is that?

[fervent cradle]

fucking kek

but I doubt that's the issue

(i fixed it)

[full basin]

Its indeed the issue

That line makes no sense

[fervent cradle]

yea I fixed it

and tried again,

what is an asset

[amber shale]

    @commands.slash_command(name="addrole", description="Add a role to a member.")

        embed = Embed(description=f"{role.mention} added to {member.mention}.")
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed)```

can i know why this is not working

it is inside a cog, removerole command is working and bridge command is working

[dry echo]

any error?

[amber shale]

no

anyone know a way to put a bunch of buttons using something like this?

this only puts 1 button im assuming because the callback is the same for each one idk how to make different callback for each one tho

i didnt get any error, and it didnt show up on slash commands, removerole just below it showed and another bridge command also showed..

[prisma flicker]

also update to 2.1.1 or put store=False in load_extension

oh it's not getting registered?

[amber shale]

think so

[amber shale]

already done

[prisma flicker]

and no errors on startup?

[amber shale]

no

[prisma flicker]

can you start a new thread and put the code that's working and the code that isn't there please

u mean new post?

yes

[prisma flicker]

and you already have a thread, don't cross post

[proud mason]

if i have a bot running continuously, will msgs from its cache ever get removed? or will the ram usage keep going up?

[prisma flicker]

the default message cache is 1k

[proud mason]

ic

so the thing is

im making a giveaway system

i make an object of a custom giveaway class
i store the message object in it while doing so

if the message is removed from cache, it shouldn't be removed from my object right

[prisma flicker]

you'd still have the message object

[proud mason]

cool

also

i store these giveaway objects in a list

what the best to discard these x days after ending

[prisma flicker]

del giveaways[1]?

[proud mason]

i dont want fifo cause that is based on object creation time
i rather want it to be deleted when smth like 3 days after it ended

[prisma flicker]

or giveaways[1] = None

or store them in a set instead

[proud mason]

yea but how do i handle when they are deleted

[prisma flicker]

how do you get the right giveaway out of the list now?

[proud mason]

well

i use msg.id to find it

using discord.utils.find

[prisma flicker]

do you loop through the whole list every time?

[proud mason]

idk how this works 💀

[prisma flicker]

so yes

[proud mason]

i can have it in a dict tbh

[prisma flicker]

why don't you use a dict of id to message object?

[proud mason]

with the msg id

yea

i can do that

[prisma flicker]

and then you can just do delkey or whatever

[proud mason]

but how do i delay it 👀
add a function that deletes itself to the object itself and use asyncio.sleep(3days+time_ended) ?

can an object delete itself?

[prisma flicker]

store the ones to delete in a separate list, and have a loop that goes through and deletes them from the dict after 3 days or something

[proud mason]

also if i do del gaw_obj will it automatically remove it from the stuff that has references to it?

like lists for eg

[proud mason]

ah nice idea

[prisma flicker]

no it just removes that one object

I think

depends if the things in the list are by reference or by value 🙂

[proud mason]

that wont use double memory right. storing same obj in 2 lists

[prisma flicker]

how many giveaways are you going to have? lmao

I think you're trying to optimize a little prematurely

[proud mason]

was just reading bout it. they say mutable objects are stored by pass to reference

[proud mason]

true ngl 💀

idk why optimization comes into my mind so early

i dont even have the system ready

lmao

[prisma flicker]

I would just get the core system working, and if memory goes up too high then look into optimizing

or, y'know, use a persistent data store

like a database

and then you don't have to keep it all in memory 🙂

[proud mason]

hmm good idea

[prisma flicker]

plus if your bot restarts then it would all be gone

[proud mason]

i can actually have the giveaway id same as the message id
that would make stuff easier for me

[prisma flicker]

and then you can have a query that runs like every hour delete from giveaways where expiration_date > 3 days ago

[proud mason]

oh wait

if i have them in a db, how do i implement functions on the class

[prisma flicker]

you can use an orm

[proud mason]

i got this 💀

[proud mason]

ayo you say i can add method to orm objects?

[prisma flicker]

yeah

[proud mason]

bro 💀

i should have done that in my previous project

actually makes sense lmao

dumb me 💀

aight ty

oh also i have a schedule_end method that does- await asyncio.sleep(duration) and then await self.end()
and i do self.task = asyncio.create_task(self.schedule_end()) in __init__

is there any better alternative

cuz this way i can cancel it too

but i feel it is weird

dk

[prisma flicker]

I like to program defensively "what happens if my bot restarts"

so I would have a task that runs every minute and gets all the giveaways that have ended and end them

[proud mason]

i think i can make a thing that does all this stuff again on_ready

cuz now that im using a db

[prisma flicker]

and I avoid sleeping in general

it's just not a very good practice imo

[proud mason]

exactly why i thought this was weird

[proud mason]

the server im developing this for runs giveaways smaller than a minute. it would be weird to wait another min for results to appear

its a public bot but developed with a specific server in mind

i wonder if any one else would ever add it 🤔

but thats besides the point 😂

[prisma flicker]

then I would have a button instead, that only lets you enter if it hasn't ended yet. and if someone tries to enter late the button can end the giveaway too and show the results. it would just call the same method

[prisma flicker]

or run the task more often

[meager heron]

I get discord.errors.Forbidden when trying to delete one of the bot's own posts. Is that normal? I thought you could always delete your own posts

[topaz rune]

hi, how can I verify is the last message of a channel is a button pls? now I have this code

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self,message):
        if message.channel.id == 1003590390009577493:
            if not message.components == discord.button:
                channel = await self.bot.fetch_channel(1003590390009577493)
                ticket_act = channel.last_message_id
                await channel.send(view=button_fermeture_ticket(ticket_act))

but I have this error:
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'button'

[naive remnant]

Use

Button

With a CAP

[topaz rune]

oh ok thanks bro

[naive remnant]

Np

[proud mason]

hmm

idk ill see tomorrow

almost 2am now

if im doing stuff db based, i should save everything as per id right

[tranquil pivot]

How do you make drop downs and buttons persistent?

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[raven island]

what permission is required for this?
I am getting a weird
discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access error message now....

Nothing has changed in my bot....

[prisma flicker]

@tranquil pivot ^

[tranquil pivot]

Thank you

[full basin]

Yes

[proud mason]

aight

[cyan quail]

your bot can't see the channel

or

eh

wait no

are you 100% sure it's that line?

[proud mason]

get_channel wont raise that

[proud mason]

it will rather return None if a channel with that id isnt found

[cyan quail]

your bot can't send to that channel

[raven island]

Can I ask why? It has been sending to this channel for many many months and now its not working all of a sudden

[cyan quail]

how would we know

maybe the perms changed

ultimately you're gonna have to go look at that channel yourself

[tired birch]

so um how do I edit a response with ctx? I know that interaction.response.edit() exists but I don't have interaction defined in the command...

[cyan quail]

that's under ctx.interaction

but you just need to use ctx.edit

[tired birch]

oh ok, thx

[proud mason]

i just realised, if i store the entered users in a db, does that mean ill have to have a table with all the members the bot has access to? 💀

cuz yk, many to many field

[cyan quail]

that's like, literally the point of the members intent

[proud mason]

dang 😩

how big would the table get

[cyan quail]

however big your code makes it

[proud mason]

how large would a table with 10k rows be

goes in MB or nah

lets say postgres

i wonder if sqlite can handle this

[cyan quail]

eh you'll be fine

[proud mason]

hmm

[proud mason]

also, should i check and add members when i receive them (on ready) or when they have some activity (enter gaws etc)

[cyan quail]

you can try interaction.edit_original_message, but i think self.view.message.edit may have a higher chance of working

[cyan quail]

there's no reason to add them separately in on_ready if they never interact with the bot

[proud mason]

true

[proud pagoda]

You could try interaction.response.edit_message

[proud mason]

and one more thing

[cyan quail]

they're avoiding response because of modal

ok nice

[proud mason]

the owner says he want this as a requirement

• messages (number)
The minimum amount of messages sent by the user after the giveaway started

[cyan quail]

well

[proud mason]

i dont think imma save each and every msg to a db

lets say i skip the content

but still

[cyan quail]

yeah that's fine

[proud mason]

💀

[cyan quail]

on_message, save userid and +1 to it each time i guess

kinda a pain but then the data can be discarded after the gw ends

[proud mason]

msg after the giveaway started.
maybe i have a mapping for user and msgcount idk

[cyan quail]

that's all you need yeah

[proud mason]

how do i have this in a db

gonna need another table

foreign key and reverse relation on the gaw table

ig

man too complicated for simple shit

why cant stuff be straightforward

imagine he ends up not using it

[cyan quail]

[proud mason]

😔

kden imma sleep

kill_brain.exe was run by developing bot

💀

[topaz rune]

can someone know how I can verify if the last message sent on a channel is a button or not pls?

[cyan quail]

check message.components

[topaz rune]

im on this

but not working

[cyan quail]

that won't work because it won't be None, it'll be an empty list

just do if message.components

[topaz rune]

well, it's not doing what it should do, I need to verify on a on_message func if the last message is anything else than a button, and send a button if the last message isn't a button

[cyan quail]

so uhh

have you considered that in on_message, the current message is the last message?

you're already accessing message.channel so you don't need to fetch_channel again

if you want to check if the message doesn't have a button (or any items), then it'd be the opposite; if not message.components

[topaz rune]

I know but I need the fetch channel for my var "ticket_act" that i'll sent in another class

[cyan quail]

yeah but my point is that you're checking if the current channel is the same as the one you're fetching

you can completely remove the fetch line and do message.channel.last_message_id

[prisma flicker]

Why would you need to store all of them?

Or any of them

Beyond like the id

[topaz rune]

yeah it's ttrue but I still have the problem with my buttons

[pallid token]

Hey guys. I'm trying to clean up my sessions on the bot's shutdown. I've tried doing so in both a cog_unload and __del__ function in my cogs. The cog_unload function doesn't seem to get called at all and the __del__ function occurs after the event loop is already called thus causing issues with running self.client.loop.create_task(). Just wondering if there is a way I can make this work. Thanks 😄

[topaz rune]

:/

[cyan quail]

what exactly is the issue? i'm not following anymore

[topaz rune]

Okay
I have a channel where my bot sometimes send ambed.
if it send an ambed, I need to send one button right after.
thats all

[cyan quail]

if cog_unload isn't firing then something's gone wrong in it py try: self.cog_unload() except Exception: passotherwise, the opposite of the setup(bot) function that resides outside of the cog is teardown(bot)

[pallid token]

That is how the library handles shutting down?

[cyan quail]

so you need to detect if the last message has an embed, not a button?

oh i see now

[topaz rune]

exactly buddy

and thats the dfficulty here

[cyan quail]

not really... you said something completely different before

just check message.embeds

[cyan quail]

no, i see your issue; cog_unload and teardown will only run when using un/reload_extension; shutting down typically bypasses that

[topaz rune]

it works, thanks buddy

[cyan quail]

in which case, in your shutdown function you could go through all your cogs and unload them

all good

[pallid token]

Ahh that makes sense lol
A little backwards, but if it works, it works 😆

[cyan quail]

alternatively, if it's only in one or two cogs you could just use get_cog to access the attributes

but whatever works i suppose

[pallid token]

I'll probably go for the first one as quite a few of my cogs use it. Thanks for the help, I'll try that out 🙂

[cyan quail]

all good

[iron halo]

    member = discord.Guild.get_member(guild, ctx.author.id)```
this is returning None and im going crazy

[cyan quail]

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

[iron halo]

if u mean guild_id= then that broke aswell.

[cyan quail]

no

[iron halo]

oh the note

[cyan quail]

1. read the note for fetch_guild on that page
2. it should just be guild.get_member, not discord.Guild.get_member

[iron halo]

oh yea ofc

[cyan quail]

you should use bot.get_guild to grab the guild from your cache, which will contain members

[iron halo]

ah ok ty

[pallid token]

Hey Nelo. Just wondering if there is an event called on the bot's shutdown (equivelant to on_ready, but called on shutdown). I know there is one for on_disconnect, but that's not what I'm looking for here. I can't seem to find a suitable one in the event reference.

I need to be able to call this before the cogs are unloaded and the event loop is shut down.

[loud holly]

the wait for event, is there a way to get the user mention on it? Trying to find an event for it, but can't find it unless I'm looking for the wrong one

[full basin]

on_message?

[loud holly]

oh that's it? ty

[full basin]

I mean, you said get user mention

Then you want a message.

Then you need to wait_for a message

[cyan quail]

i don't think so, how are you doing the shutdown?

[pallid token]

The bot receives a SIGTERM (^C) and shuts down gracefully since the library is designed to handle it.

INFO:discord.client:Received signal to terminate bot and event loop.
INFO:discord.client:Cleaning up tasks.
INFO:discord.client:Cleaning up after 3 tasks.
INFO:discord.client:All tasks finished cancelling.
INFO:discord.client:Closing the event loop.
<BOT LOOP TERMINATION OCCURS>
<COG UNLOADING OCCURS>

[cyan quail]

hmmm

[pallid token]

The loop terminates before cogs are cleaned up/deleted.

[cyan quail]

it's caught as a keyboardinterrupt in bot.run

[pallid token]

In fact, the only reason why the cogs clean up in the end (triggering the __del__() function is because Python terminates. By then, the loop has long since finished running and you cant really run anything to load/unload them.

[pallid token]

mhm

[cyan quail]

your best bet may be to override _cleanup_loop in client.py py def _cleanup_loop(loop: asyncio.AbstractEventLoop) -> None: try: _cancel_tasks(loop) loop.run_until_complete(loop.shutdown_asyncgens()) finally: _log.info("Closing the event loop.") loop.close()

or if you want i guess you technically don't need to use run at all, use start and implement your own KeyboardInterrupt logic

[pallid token]

I'll do it if I have to, but I do wonder why it is necessary in the first place. Is it really that uncommon for people to need to run async logic when the bot shuts down that an on_teardown or on_shutdown event was not created when a on_ready one is?

[cyan quail]

people doing that likely aren't using run in the first place

If you want more control over the event loop then this function should not be used. Use start() coroutine or connect() + login().

there are other ways to do it, run is just if you don't want to think about anything else

[pallid token]

Ahh fair. Still feels like an over-complicated way of handling things when an event could just as easily exist for it. Not here to argue with you of course, but by the same logic on_ready shouldn't exist (barring, of course, reconnects) 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for all the help though. I really appreciate it 😄

[cyan quail]

i mean, on_ready exists because it is an event from discord; same with connect and disconnect etc

[full basin]

Are there any dynamic cooldown examples? Cant seem to find it

[young bone]

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

[full basin]

I said dynamic cooldown.

[stiff fiber]

How do I get modal data in a callback without having to subclass the modal?
All modal examples I can find involve subclassing the modal and handling it that way - this isn't applicable for my use case

[young bone]

modal = discord.ui.Modal()
.
.
.

[hearty mauve]

In Cog/staff.py
class staff(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
         self.client = client

@commands.slash_command(name='mute', description='Mutes <user> for <duration> minutes because of <reason> using discords new timeouts')
@commands.has_guild_permissions(moderate_members=True)
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, duration, reason):
    minutes = datetime.timedelta(minutes=int(duration))
    await member.timeout_for(minutes, reason=reason)
muteem=discord.embed(title=f"{member.mention} was muted for {minutes} for {reason}", color=0x2F3136)
await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.respond(embed=muteem)

[young bone]

?

[hearty mauve]

This wont work

[young bone]

Any error´s?

[hearty mauve]

No errors

[young bone]

which one doesn´t work?

[hearty mauve]

The cog

The cog doesnt work

[young bone]

can you add store=False to the load_extension()?

[hearty mauve]

Is it cause a command doesn't have self?

[smoky forge]

the commands have to have self as first argument

as with every class

[rugged lantern]

their main.py isn't in a class though

[stiff fiber]

That's not what I meant - I'm fine with creating and sending modals, but I'm having difficulty receiving the modal's text input fields in a callback.

...

async def cb(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    # parse modal fields somehow

async def some_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    modal = discord.ui.Modal(title="Sample")
    modal.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Field"))
    modal.callback = cb
    await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)

[stiff fiber]

I noticed that interactions have a "data" attribute, but accessing the text input fields from that is very hairy.

[young bone]

you create now the modal in the callback...

[stiff fiber]

?

some_interaction is a placeholder for some event - the cb function is the callback for the modal

[grim canopy]

Extension 'cogs.owner raised an error: TypeError: Owner.maintenance() got an unexpected keyword argument 'guild_ids'

I believe this is a core library issue

[young bone]

add to the group guild_ids=[id]

[grim canopy]

but I don't need id

[stiff fiber]

This isn't my code - I just wrote the simplified version for sharing, it's not supposed to be fully functional. I'm trying to access the modal's input text fields from inside the callback, but the only thing passed to the callback is a discord.Interaction.

[grim canopy]

I want it global

[young bone]

k

[stiff fiber]

This is my callback function that I pass to a modal. I can't subclass the modal because I want to process its data inside another class.
The second line is the only method I have found to access a modal's input data from a callback without subclassing the modal, but it's very hacky.

[fervent cradle]

how do i feckin remove the default help command

bot.remove_command('help')

this is what i tried

[meager mica]

where did you put this code

you can also do bot = commands.Bot(prefix,help_command=None) i think

[fervent cradle]

right after i declared the bot = commands.Bot()

alr, imma try that

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/commands/help-command

[fervent cradle]

you'd think I havent been racking my brains over the docs since yesterday

but you're wrong

[meager mica]

did it work

[fervent cradle]

oh yes

thanks a lot, after I'm done with this I'm gonna make a repo with examples for all basic ass stuff

[meager mica]

wow im smart

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/986437069985431572.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[slender abyss]

my whole console if full of this error why it happens and any way to reduce it?

everything works but this

[prisma flicker]

Are people clicking buttons on a view that's not persistent?

[slender abyss]

yeah

the view has a timeout of 300s

[prisma flicker]

well there's your problem

[proud mason]

Yea I only need the id, but you can't store them without SQL relations. It's bad practice to store a list without a table (like raw bytes of a python list) and I'm not gonna store it as text and parse it every time

[meager mica]

is there a way to have multiple views in one message

like a list somehow

[prisma flicker]

sure but once the giveaway is over you can delete the entries

[cold storm]

hey, what api scopes would i need to detect a users activity (listening to song) and is there a scope in pycord to use it

[prisma flicker]

again you're worrying too much 😄

[full basin]

You only have one view. You can have many components.

[proud mason]

yea ill delete the gaw entry and cascade all these on delete

[proud mason]

😩 yes

i need people to hold me back

[slender abyss]

what? >_>

i thought of defering the interaction instead and sending a followup if it fails

like this

[sacred dragon]

How to get membercount in pycord?

[slender abyss]

Guild.members gives you a list of all guild members simply use len() on it and you will get member count

thanks

but IM facing another issue

what is better? django orm or tortoise orm?

or like which is the best/fastest orm for python

How would I edit a response after it's sent? I tried storing it in a variable but get the following error.

ctx.edit?

[undone smelt]

lol...yep

tyty

[slender abyss]

what is this error and how do i fix this

[proud pagoda]

This might help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56738345/could-not-install-packages-due-to-an-environmenterror-could-not-find-a-suitable

[slender abyss]

uhh i dk what to do

[cold hamlet]

It might be a very bad and hacky idea, but could I misuse the discord.ui.View.interaction_check function and use it as a way to perform a before-callback-invoke hook?

[grizzled sentinel]

THis might be helpful as well

[grizzled sentinel]

I think so, you would have to make sure it returns true tho

[fervent cradle]

Hey,
why he say me that code is incorrect when i use random.randint(), but when i use code = ["2112", "1213", "2102"] its that correct? Why?

Code:

self.code = random.randint(1000, 9999)

if self.children[1].value == self.code:
    print("Correct..")
else:
    print("Incorrect..") 

[grizzled sentinel]

It is kinda hacky but there is no other way to do it within the lib.

[slender abyss]

What?

[grizzled sentinel]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70094634/oserror-could-not-find-a-suitable-tls-ca-certificate-bundle
You wouldent belive how many times I send a message like that but forget the link

[cold hamlet]

Yeah fair, I'll see if it works lol

[grizzled sentinel]

randint returns an int not a string.
Also the random value is highly unlikely to be the value of the button.

[slender abyss]

Idk how i should fix it im getting this error on my hosting platform and im directly using code from github

[fervent cradle]

it that not working i must be use the code in a list?

[grizzled sentinel]

what host? do you have access to your user or just the files you add?
It seems the users is missing or has an incorrect file.

[grizzled sentinel]

you just need to change code into a string before comparison becouse the value is a string

[fervent cradle]

Okay thanks

[slender abyss]

Ploxhost i use

I have an empty file manager

The code is directly taken from github

Idk where the files could go wrong

[grizzled sentinel]

They have a great support team, open a ticket with your error.
It is an issue with there setup with the server, should be a simple fix once they see it :)

[slender abyss]

Okay

[fervent cradle]

So its works but he gives me only one number not four numbers?

        self.code = random.randint(1000, 9999)
        self.code2 = random.choice(str(self.code))

[grizzled sentinel]

what are you trying to output?

like what is the end goal

[fervent cradle]

I want to generate random four numbers and I input those and the bot see its correct or its incorrect.

but he gives me only a number 1 - 9

when i use this in a string

[grizzled sentinel]

so random.randint will generate 1 random number with 4 digits.
If you want 4 random numbers of 4 digits use list comprehension.
[str(random.randint(1000, 9999)) for x in range(4)]
Does that make sense?

Random choice would choose a random charecter in the string

[fervent cradle]

okay but why range?

[grizzled sentinel]

it will make a list of 4 items

The code i sent is the same as this

code = []
for x in range(4):
    code.append(str(random.randint(1000, 9999)))

[fervent cradle]

Mhmm okay thanks

[slender abyss]

they told to run this code on my local machine and told its not a host side problem

[silver moat]

see ##1593

[slender abyss]

is this a latest issue?

[silver moat]

##1593

yeah

[slender abyss]

which is yet to be solved?

[silver moat]

it is solved

[slender abyss]

umm how

lol i have been scratching my head for almost an hour now

[silver moat]

you can use master branch

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

1. Uninstall discord.py or any other forks of discord.py you might have with the namespace discord.
   python -m pip uninstall discord.py discord -y

2a. Install py-cord
python -m pip install py-cord

2b. Update py-cord
python pip install -U py-cord

Installing other builds:
Note: You need to have git installed. Use !git to find out how to install git.

Updating the module to Alpha (unstable):
pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

[silver moat]

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord```

[slender abyss]

git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

i just paste this in my requirement.txt file right

[silver moat]

yes

[slender abyss]

nope

[rare ice]

I’m using 2.0.0rc1 and I’m using a wait_for('message'), and I have a check that is:

def check(m):
  return m.author == interaction.user and m.channel == interaction.channel
``` (the context is in a subclassed button callback)
it doesn’t actually return True so I printed `m.channel` and it printed: `Direct message with Unknown User`. Is this a bug with 2.0.0rc1?

[slender abyss]

did not work i still get that error

and my command fail to run

[meager mica]

#1013311641158438963 then ig

[silver moat]

why rc1

[rare ice]

I haven’t upgraded to 2.0 because I was experiencing the issue of cogs not throwing errors when loading. But I’ll be upgrading to the latest soon

[proud pagoda]

Yeah just set store=False when loading extensions

[silver moat]

not latest per-say, but probably 2.0.1 at least

[rare ice]

Yeah I was an idiot and didn’t read the change-log

[rare ice]

Is it back to False by default in the latest version?

[silver moat]

yeah but 2.1.1 has bugs relating to slash command groups

[rare ice]

oh rip

[rare ice]

so which version do I upgrade to?

that’s stable

[silver moat]

2.0.0 also has vulerability that can crash your bot

so 2.0.1 i would say

[rare ice]

yeah

k

[slender abyss]

okay bro

master branch also have the issue with slash commands groups

[silver moat]

so ##1594 didn't fix it?

[rare ice]

still getting the issue on 2.0.1

[silver moat]

you're not in a DM, correct?

[rare ice]

No

In a DM

Still saying "Direct Message with Unknown User"

[silver moat]

what is interaction.channel ?

[rare ice]

the same channel, the DM

it prints it correctly I think

[rare ice]

Yeah it prints it correctly

It’s just m.channel

which is the message it waits for

[silver moat]

it might be a discord api issue

[rare ice]

:/

[slender abyss]

nope

its ##1594

[silver moat]

yeah that one

that should've fixed the issue

[prisma flicker]

The view timed out, and people are still interacting with it, so you're gonna get that error in your logs

[prisma flicker]

I use sqlalchemy+alembic

[echo pond]

Got a small question,

I am trying to make a slash command (that worked fine)
But I am also using the on_interaction event and now my slash command gets 'handled' only by the event and not it own function.
Is there a way to 'continue' from the on_interaction that it just finishes the code that is written in the slash_command?

[silver moat]

like on_message and on_command. bot.process_application_commands(interaction)

or is it process_application_command

one of them

[echo pond]

I will send a screen of my code gimme sec

but yeah since I got the on_interaction event, the slash commands get handled by the event instead of the slash_command

[silver moat]

yeah so put this in your on_interaction

[echo pond]

whoopppss read it wrong thanks it works!

[silver moat]

np

[slender abyss]

No the view did not timed out its less than 10s before the view has been started

@prisma flicker

For the fix i thought of defering the interaction

[rare ice]

So I can’t check if the channel the command was used in to the new message channel at all?

[silver moat]

probably if message_content intent is enabled then it may be availible

[proud mason]

Hmm
