[rapid geode]

make it

role_id = 10333...

[sleek haven]

when i did that it was 'int' has no 'get_role'

[rapid geode]

then

get_role(1033...)

[full basin]

homeGuild is supposed to be a Discord.Guild object

Not an ID

[rapid geode]

🤦

yeh exactly

[sleek haven]

[rapid geode]

you can still use the id if you want to by getting the guild first

[sleek haven]

so its should be the name?

[rapid geode]

if you using the command in the same guild

then it would be ctx.guild

[sleek haven]

hmmm but if not from the guild

[full basin]

I said object.

[rapid geode]

then get the guild first

[full basin]

Do you know how OOP works?

[sleek haven]

oh ok

[sleek haven]

ye

[full basin]

You don't

By "homeguild" I assume you want to get that guild no matter where the command is ran

So you'd fetch is with bot.get_guild(id)

[rapid geode]

try this

[sleek haven]

ah nvm i just forgot to something

this

i forgot to get all the members and define members

problem with this if the server has tons of members

[cyan lark]

how i can get this?

[young bone]

discord.Attachment

[cyan lark]

alr

[pseudo dawn]

Does having optional parameters for the function of a command group interfere with the subcommands?

[sleek haven]

one thing do i need the intents.members to be enabled

pls help

[cyan lark]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):

    channel = bot.get_channel(1025787487324483706)

    background = Editor("welcome.jpg")
    profile_image = await load_image_async(str(member.avater.url))

    profile = Editor(profile_image).resize((150, 150)).circle_image()
    poppins = Font.poppins(size=50,variant="bold")

    poppins_smail = Font.poppins(size=20, variant="light")

    background.paste(profile, (325, 90))
    background.ellipse((325, 90), 150, 150, outline="gold", stroke_width=4)

    background.text((400, 260), f"Welcome to {member.guild.name}", color="white", font=poppins, align="center")
    background.text((400, 325), f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}", color="white", font=poppins_smail, align="center")

    file = File(fp=background.image_bytes, filename="welcome.jpg")

    await channel.send(file=file)

nvm this fixed

[cyan quail]

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

[sleek haven]

yeh i figure it out my code works when i used it in my test bot

but in the main bot its verified and it has no intents for members

so it cant check if they have the role

[silver moat]

await bot.fetch_guild(id)

[sleek haven]

This already works in my dev bot with intents

but in my main bot it doesn't because i think to check if someone has specific roles you need intents

[silver moat]

correct, you do.

[sleek haven]

now is there a way to check if someone has that role
without the intents

[silver moat]

I don't think so.

Applying for the members intent is easy for, there are many use cases and discord will generally always grant it.

[sleek haven]

i once tried asked for message and got declined

[silver moat]

members, not message content

[sleek haven]

i bet they will say something like this

[silver moat]

I doubt it. Since members intent is often requested for general moderation.

[sleek haven]

hmmm ok ill try

[tender seal]

what do I use

what class do I use

so the user can upload a file

[pseudo dawn]

What's the difference between Context and ApplicationContext

[silver moat]

discord.Attachment

[silver moat]

Context is for text-based commands while applicationcontext is for application commands (slash and context menus)

[pseudo dawn]

Thanks, so I need both if I want bridge commands. So I schould do both

[silver moat]

There's BridgeContext for that

[tender seal]

thank you.

[pseudo dawn]

Does that work if i want the same fields in Bridge commands, pure prefix commands and pure slash commands?

So I even need to subclass all three

[tender seal]

what do I do about this

Attachment.fp?

I mean

file.fp?

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Attachment.to_file

[silver moat]

You can just use bridge context and BridgeContext.is_app to achieve compatibility between slash and text.

[pseudo dawn]

So I only need to subclass the bridge context and I can use it in pure prefix commands, pure slash commands and bridge commands?

[silver moat]

sure

[pseudo dawn]

That's good

[silver moat]

I don't think you need to subclass at all, but ok

[pseudo dawn]

I would like to pass data from groups to commands.
And somebody told me that I would need to subclass thfe context for that

[silver moat]

ah ok

[meager mica]

i cant figure out how to make channel auto complete

i tried channel: discord.channel but it had error

[young bone]

discord.Channel

[meager mica]

i did that first but

[silver moat]

type pip list in terminal and show output

[proud pagoda]

I believe you have to specify either a discord.TextChannel or discord.VoiceChannel

[meager mica]

ohhhhh

[silver moat]

if you want all channels (forums, voice, category, etc.), you can use discord.abc.GuildChannel

[meager mica]

hey guys so is there a builtin mehod of checking if avatar changed

[rare ice]

in on_member_update check if before.avatar.url != after.avatar.url

[meager mica]

i tried that

doesnt trigger so i print them and the string is the same

https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/787014408526102559/7019e804a7b527df64e2ca18e24aaf4e.png?size=1024 is before https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/787014408526102559/7019e804a7b527df64e2ca18e24aaf4e.png?size=1024 is after

[fervent cradle]

How would I use a class variable such as self.options as parameter for the options attribute of a Select UI element?

(I am dynamically generating options depending on passed parameters to generate a view, so I can't just hardcode it in)

[meager mica]

my code is like py class Dropdown(discord.ui.Select): def __init__(self): options = [] for i in range(1, 17): options.append( discord.SelectOption(label=f"Team {i}", value=str(i), description=f"Your preferred team is {i}")) super().__init__( placeholder="Choose your preferred team", min_values=1, max_values=1, options=options, )

super().__init i think is way to go

[fervent cradle]

Oh subclassing it, I guess that'd work

Do you then just add it to the view with some add_item function?

[meager mica]

no i dont think so?

thats all the ui code i got

i just have callback code

[fervent cradle]

Do you not add this subclass to a view?

[meager mica]

it is a view

class Dropdown(discord.ui.Select):

[fervent cradle]

You can make a view out of an ui element?

interesting

[meager mica]

oh i see what ur saying i think

on a callback i do py view = discord.ui.View(Dropdown()) await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=view)

[fervent cradle]

Not what I was saying but I figured it out

Thanks though 👍

[full oxide]

Hello!

Does anyone know if the __init__ method of a cog is called every time a command is called or only when adding/registering the cog?

[fervent cradle]

I haven't played around with Cogs at all but the init method of a class is only called when that class is first instanced

[rugged lantern]

take a guess

[full oxide]

I'd presume only once?

[meager mica]

only once yes

[full oxide]

thx!

[meager mica]

some real good helping broski

[fervent cradle]

How would you add/delete an item from a view that's already in use? add_item, clear_items and remove_item don't seem to do anything once the view is already initialized

(In this case, all three print statements are displayed, however, the button is not removed and the dropdown is not added)

I could get around this by editing the message and using a second view, however this feels like a trick whilst this seem to offer a proper solution

[fervent cradle]

I've made this work by editing the message, however if someone has a proper way to implement it that'd be neat 👍

[loud holly]

is there an efficient way to mention commands in a group instead of a subcommand

if it is

bot.get_application_command("group commandname")

this doesn't work and gives NoneType Error

[cyan quail]

the first one only works on master, the latter works assuming you know both group_name and command_name

but you can also right click a command on the client to get its ID and use that

[loud holly]

master? is that the very unstable version?

[cyan quail]

master is just the latest stuff on github

[loud holly]

oh, so I presume it is stable in that sense?

[cyan quail]

it should be fine yeah

[loud holly]

how would I go about install the master?

[cyan quail]

let's see uhh

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

[loud holly]

thanks!

[fervent cradle]

How would you get the index that a user clicked on in a Select view, if that view can contain the same string/SelectOptions multiple times?

[cyan quail]

in a Select Menu, all SelectOptions must have a unique value

[fervent cradle]

Oh right, I'll just use this as a counter then, thanks!

[fervent cradle]

I may be stupid, but do modals really not support dropdowns?

[cyan quail]

not at the moment no, but a staff member did say they would be next on the list

[fervent cradle]

Oh that's great, modals with only textboxes seemed a bit pointless outside of opinion polls lol

[cyan quail]

a while ago you could add dropdowns to modals, but after some time discord said it was a bug and disabled it

[fervent cradle]

huh, weird

I hope discord adds more ui elements like date pickers or checkboxes and stuff to them

making them actually useful

[cyan quail]

date picker's coming to slash options at least

[copper dew]

the __init__ method is constructor for that class

[meager mica]

how do i get a guild from discord.User discord.Member has guild attr but not User for some reason

[fervent cradle]

A user is not a member, but a member is a user

a member is a user part of a server, a user is just a someone on discord

[meager mica]

is there a way i can get the guild id where a on_user_update event happned

im trying to make avatar log code

[fervent cradle]

no

[meager mica]

and it doesnt log to on_member_update

[fervent cradle]

oh

I was gonna say to use this but

you can get a user from a member?

[meager mica]

😁

[meager mica]

you mean member fro user?

[fervent cradle]

no

You can get a user from a member, not the other way around

Why not use that if you need a user?

[meager mica]

i have to use async def on_user_update

on_member update does not detect changes in avatar

[fervent cradle]

Oh alright

I suppose you could find the guilds you have in common with a user

[meager mica]

thenn loop ig

[fervent cradle]

And from those guilds get a member from the user id

[meager mica]

i think i can do that

that worked tysm

[hollow brook]

If you respond to an interaction with defer, you're supposed to be able to respond to it again, right?

[simple canopy]

Uh, seems about right

🤔

[hollow brook]

oh

it looks like i can't respond to a deferred interaction with a modal

Is there a way to get the function name of a command from the context object?

[simple canopy]

I’m not sure rn, but it seems like .respond() is sending sort of followup thing if defer was used

So send modal isn’t working because of that

Can’t really check since im not on pc

Defer is basically responding an interaction

[bitter lance]

do I have to use message id to edit embed?

[simple canopy]

No, if you have an message object

[bitter lance]

when I restart bot, I can use view (add_view), but I want edit specific embed

[simple canopy]

In this case you need an message id

[bitter lance]

ahh ok..

[simple canopy]

Or if it’s only message in channel, you can look up for it in channels history

But it’s kinda sketchy

I do not recommend smh

[bitter lance]

I think only one message that include embed and view in channel

[simple canopy]

You can just send new one every-time bot starts or fetch it by its id

Easiest way is to just fetch it

[bitter lance]

ok Thanks!

[simple canopy]

👍🏻

[sleek haven]

told yah

[silver moat]

Oof. Did you use a screenshot and filled out everything?

[sleek haven]

ye

have to find a new way to check if someone is boosted in my main server

btw is the a event to check if someone is boosting your server and does it also need the intent

[spark lantern]

yo yo yo the resident dumbass is back, how do i add multiple buttons in a view if im subclassing it

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        self.bot.add_view(self.MyView())
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
        def __init__(self):
            super().__init__(timeout=None)

        @discord.ui.button(label="Appeal", custom_id="appeal-ticket", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Appeal was pressed", ephemeral=True)

        @discord.ui.button(label="Moderator Application", custom_id="mod-ticket", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Mod was pressed", ephemeral=True)

        @discord.ui.button(label="Report", custom_id="report-ticket", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Report was pressed", ephemeral=True)

        @discord.ui.button(label="Question", custom_id="question-ticket", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Question was pressed", ephemeral=True)
@commands.command()
    async def createticket(self, ctx):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Tickets", description="""Appeal - If you believe your punishment was wrong 
        \nModerator Application - Please make sure to read the requirements in #roles 
        \nReport - To report members 
        that break our rules 
        \nQuestion - To ask our staff team any questions you may have concerning the server 
        \nDonation - To donate to our server and future giveaways""")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=self.MyView())

only shows the Question button for some reason

[rigid sable]

What is the default timeout for a button? How can I increase it?

[spark lantern]

default timeout is 180 seconds iirc, if you want to increase it just add the timeout parameter to your view,
view = View(button, timeout = x number of seconds)

[rigid sable]

Thank you

[spark lantern]

no problemo

[spark lantern]

nvm figured it out, gotta have different call back names

[rigid sable]

Will it apply to all the buttons I put in the view?

[spark lantern]

i think it should

[bitter lance]

is there any way to make Embed class like class MyView(View):? or only function and return

[storm hinge]

why is invalid emoji being raised even when it's a default discord emoji?
yet using some custom emojis work?

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.components.0.options.1.emoji.name: Invalid emoji

[tribal bough]

if you using default emojies i suggest you putting them in string

[storm hinge]

they are in string

do you mean convert a string to a string via str()?

[tribal bough]

nope

\👍

[storm hinge]

well i have a json file

{
  "General": {
    "name": "General",
    "description": "General commands.",
    "emoji": ":tradecard_bain:"
  },
  "Moderation": {
    "name": "Moderation",
    "description": "Commands for moderation.",
    "emoji": ":<carpenters_delight:1033585443603763270>"
  },
  "unknown": {
    "name": "testing",
    "description": "category for testing",
    "emoji": ":klas_shovel:"
  }
}

idk why the emojis are formatting themselves on discord wtf

oh

i put a wrong format for carpenters delight

but still, default emojis via windows + . still don't work?

[tribal bough]

use this type of emoji to get this type of emojies just simply add \ before the emoji example \:thumbsup: and copy that emoji

[tribal bough]

yup that works too

[storm hinge]

yeah, but it doesn't work

🤖 throws invalid emoji

[tribal bough]

can you send error too?

[bitter lance]

try "⏯️" like this

[storm hinge]

custom ones work; default ones don't

[storm hinge]

it is exactly what i'm doing it it throws error :(

[obtuse junco]

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-class-and-instance-variables-in-python-3
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html

There's a difference between a class and an instance. Think of it like this:

• A class is like a blueprint, or a concept. It defines what something should have, but it's not the same as actually having it.
• An instance is the 'realized' version of the class, it contains everything that the class defines should be on it, but you can actually access and interact with these features.

Let's consider the Cat. We know a Cat has a name and an age, but Cat.age won't work, because Cat isn't an actual cat, it just represents the concept of a cat. It's like asking "What is the age of a cat?" - it doesn't make sense, because we need to have an actual cat.

mimi on the other hand is an instance of a Cat - it has everything a Cat should have. Maybe mimi was constructed, like mimi = Cat("Mimi", age=4), or maybe mimi was retrieved from somewhere else, like house.cats[0], but in any case, it has everything we need, and mimi.age will rightfully give us 4.

There are many situations in Object Oriented Programming where you will need an instance instead of a class to perform an operation properly (in fact, you almost always need an instance instead of a class), and these cases will usually be documented.
You should learn a good amount about Object Oriented Programming before working extensively with Pycord.

I know that for a bot to delete a role of a member, you need to have the manage_role permission, dans the role to delete need to be lower in rank than the role of the bot. But is there any other constraint ? I sometime get Missing permission when deleting a role in my logs, and was just wondering if the server just did not give the manage_role permission or it could be something else. Thanks !

[bitter lance]

can I use await interaction.response.defer() if I want to do nothing? or any other way?
I don't need to response after push button, and don't want interaction faild message.

[cobalt tangle]

itll just say its Thinking... forever if u defer

[cobalt tangle]

u could respond and immediately delete the msg

[rapid geode]

uh i think you are using discord.py

in pycord its
await ctx.defer()

[cobalt tangle]

My error check not working

 
elif isinstance(error, CheckFailure):
        embed=discord.Embed(title="Error : Check Failure", description="You must fit the set checks! Common reason are below:")
        embed.add_field(name="Economy", value=f"Make sure you are setup. Set yourself up by `/economy setup`")
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[fringe socket]

Not necessarily

[cobalt tangle]

its interaction in buttons

[bitter lance]

I use pycord

[fringe socket]

I believe both exist in pycord

[rapid geode]

oh i thought he was using that in a command

[cobalt tangle]

he mentioned buttons

[fringe socket]

^

[cobalt tangle]

its raising the error instead of responding

[bitter lance]

yep thanks guys

[cobalt tangle]

raise CheckFailure(f"The check functions for the command {self.name} failed") discord.errors.CheckFailure: The check functions for the command beg failed

[cobalt tangle]

they do, interaction is used mostly in buttons, dropdowns and in on_application_command_error

[rapid geode]

my bad

[fervent cradle]

Is it possible to have multiple InputTexts in a modal on the same row?

I have gathered it's not

[proud mason]

is the error handler for application commands or normal commands?

[lost lodge]

Hey
Why the custom emoji doesn't show up in my embed
in the embed it looks: :bloob:
I got it from a message (reaction) and i've got that: ![bloob](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/965278115570024518.webp?size=128 "bloob")

[proud mason]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.commands.default_permissions

[cobalt tangle]

slash cmds

[proud mason]

are other errors getting handled properly?

[cobalt tangle]

yes

[proud mason]

hmm

dk then

[lost lodge]

pls help

[cobalt tangle]

it doesnt work in the title

[lost lodge]

?

[proud mason]

emojis cant be used in titles

and your bot cant use emojis of servers the bot is not in

[lost lodge]

ah in the embed title you mean?

but it isn't in the title

it's only with custom emojis

[proud mason]

are you sure the emoji is from one of the servers the bot is in?

[lost lodge]

ah, no it wasn't, i have the emoji on multible servers, and guess wich emoji i've chosen

[fervent cradle]

Would it be possible to display some kind of loading bar instead of this?

[proud mason]

lol happens 😂

[fervent cradle]

I can't find anything in the docs indicating it would be possible

[young bone]

you would have to do it yourself

[proud mason]

not natively. you will have to implement on your own

[fervent cradle]

With message edits I get ratelimited pretty quickly

[proud mason]

maybe by editing the message with emojis. maybe an embed. your choice

dont do it as frequently

maybe once every second or slower

[fervent cradle]

I suppose I could use datetime for that

[young bone]

or do you use an image

[fervent cradle]

I was just wondering if there was a native solution lol

that's fair, I'll figure it out w edits thanks

[proud mason]

asyncio.sleep will work

[lost lodge]

Do you guys know how to link a slash command in the bot description?

[proud mason]

the about me?

[lost lodge]

yes

[proud mason]

I think you can use slash command mentions but im not sure if discord will allow

[lost lodge]

like that

[proud mason]

</name of cmd:cmd_id>

[lost lodge]

and how to get cmd_id?

[proud mason]

right click on the command description

[lost lodge]

ah

[proud mason]

name of the command should be exactly how it is

[lost lodge]

the name is the command? right

[proud mason]

yea

[cyan lark]

?

[full basin]

Create the embed inside the loop and append it to an external embeds list?

[young bone]

View

[cyan lark]

what about this

[young bone]

you have v and need V

you need discord.ui.View

[cyan lark]

oh sh

mb

[cyan lark]

and wait. this can to be work?

if i try to do catrgory_id?

[full basin]

What?

No? It doesn't?

That's not a list

list = []

for x in y:
    embed = discord.Embed()
    list.append(embed)```

This is basic python

[cobalt tangle]

They can, i don't think u understand the logic here

We define commands in async def

[fervent cradle]

Are you sure you're talking about embed and not embed fields?

[cobalt tangle]

When two things are defined, for example,

f = 1
f = 2
print(f)

[cobalt tangle]

It prints 2 because the value of f is changed

[cobalt tangle]

Whenever we execute that cmd, the async def function is called and is run, so if a we define embed in it, it will change any other values named embed to this. And anyways, most values will be local only.

Hope you understood

[cobalt tangle]

Consider learning more python before approaching pycord

?

Lemme see the code

It's probably because the role isn't cached

[full basin]

Or you don't have intents

[cobalt tangle]

Yeah

Enable all the intents tbh

It'll be useful

R the intents approved

Get it

It is needed to see what's happening

Presence Intent - required for your bot to receive presence update events

It's the intent needed for logs

Logging features, it's simple

Well anyways gtg

[full basin]

You need guilds intents.

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/data_classes.html#discord.Intents.guilds

[grand shard]

Hi, i just created my own thread but there was nobody who could help me. Because of this I ask here again.

So I was working on my Bot and shortly before I was finished an error appeared in the last row:

client = commands.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all() , command_prefix= "!")
client.run(token, bot = True)

Error: TypeError: run() got an unexpected keyword argument 'bot'

Then I deleted the , bot = True but then there was an very long error which I made into the txt file but at the bottom of the error was RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

[young bone]

stay in one channel pls

[uncut skiff]

Is it possible to run a bot on multiple machines so if one goes down the other still stays active? Redundancy basically

[grand shard]

yeah but when i wait over 1 hour for a little error I can't fix why should I wait in my channel where nobody helps me

?

[rustic parcel]

i cant install it somehow

[cobalt tangle]

Ik why

It happens to me too

And why did u include bot=True

Make sure u have good internet

Or ur host has a good one

[grand shard]

i just watched a youtube tutorial where the creator did this and it worked

[cobalt tangle]

Just don't do it

That's prob for dpy or smth

I have never seen anyone do it

I'll send the common reasons of this

@grand shard send me ur bot.run line

[grand shard]

ig it's good, isn't it?

[cobalt tangle]

It's very good

[cobalt tangle]

Block out the token

[grand shard]

the client.run is the bot.run but I just named it the bot var to client

[cobalt tangle]

1. Try resetting the token
2. Try Enabling SERVER MEMBERS INTENT

[cobalt tangle]

Ok send me that line

[grand shard]

client.run(token) this?

[cobalt tangle]

intents = discord.Intents.default() 

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

[cobalt tangle]

Edit commands.Bot to this

And try

[grand shard]

it works tysm !

[cobalt tangle]

Np

It's because ur bot needed Intents to be defined and sent to the API I believe.@grand shard

[grand shard]

ok thx

[lost lodge]

Hey guys, how can i get the second newest message that was send?

[silver moat]

.docslink discord.TextChannel.history

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.TextChannel.history

[lost lodge]

so i used that with limit but limit takes the second message from the top and not from the newest one's

[uncut skiff]

Oh true

I'll attempt that

[silver moat]

oldest_first=False

[lost lodge]

ok

thanks

[lost lodge]

squid, do you know how to make slash commands only visible for users with a permission

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.commands.default_permissions but guild admins can override these

[lost lodge]

ok, thanks, love you ❤️

do i have to add a commands before it in a cog?

[fervent cradle]

Oh and is it possible to make commands only visible to a single user (the bot owner)?

[silver moat]

nope, but you can limit it to just a guild

you also can make the command visible to everyone but only usable by you.

[fervent cradle]

Yeah I figured as much, I just wondered if there was an alternative to that

[lost lodge]

.

[sage eagle]

squid could you help me in another thread?

[silver moat]

What do you mean

[silver moat]

ping me in that thread

[lost lodge]

in a cog i always add a commands. before everything but do i have to do that also with default_permission?

[silver moat]

it should be discord.has_permissions

[lost lodge]

no, i use commands.bot

[fervent cradle]

it should be discord.has_permissions

[cyan quail]

You sure it ain't discord.default_permissions?

That's separate from commands.has_permissions

[silver moat]

oops, I'm stupid

[lost lodge]

now im confused

[fervent cradle]

oh actually you're right lmao

[silver moat]

.

[cyan quail]

discord.default_permissions sets discord sided permissions for new commands

commands.has_permissions is an internal check for any command

[silver moat]

I was assuming slash commands, but it seems like you are using text-based commands

[lost lodge]

i do it now like that

[cyan quail]

Yeah that looks fine

[lost lodge]

good

[cyan quail]

just note that server admins can override the permissions, if you don't want that then you should also use commands.has_permissions in combination

[lost lodge]

that's good because i remember you and squid helped me by setting up commands.

[lost lodge]

ok

[dry echo]

is it possible to create server events with pycord/api?

[rare ice]

.docslink discord.ScheduledEvent.start

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.ScheduledEvent.start

[rare ice]

yes

Does anyone know how to use topggpy's webhook manager?

[dry echo]

oh i searched for guild.create_event or something like that

[silver moat]

I personally use https://webhook-topgg.com/ and make that webhook ping my bot and get votes from there

I find it easier

[rare ice]

would I be able to have a function thats ran when it pings my bot?

[silver moat]

yeah

[rare ice]

where are the docs?

[silver moat]

it sends messages via a discord webhook

[rare ice]

no i mean like

im wanting it to be redirected to my bot so that I can add roles or something and send them a dm

topggpy hasn't been working for me

[silver moat]

exactly, so you receive stuff in on_message

[proud mason]

you can set this ^ to some private channel, and get your bot to read msgs from there. thus faking a direct webhook you can use

good idea tbh

[silver moat]

make sure to have it mention your bot so you don’t need message content

[proud mason]

i was wondering if you can somehow chain topgg webhooks (idk if im accurate with the terminology)
i wanna receive vote webhooks on a my private bot to do some X functionality and then send them to another public bot to do Y functionality

[silver moat]

is it just me that uses a private guild with 50 channels to communicate between bots

[fervent cradle]

do embed fields have inline default value set to true?

[cyan quail]

yes

[fervent cradle]

uh ok thanks

[stark crater]

How do I keep information/variables separate for each user?
Like john has 3 dollars, and Emma has 5 dollars
And also, how can I make a command change the variable?

[full basin]

Databases.

And your second question doesn't make sense.

[stark crater]

like

[rugged lantern]

yes we get it- but it is not specific at all and also read the rules

[stark crater]

Oh sorry, I need to make a thread then?

[full basin]

No?

Just explain what you mean

[rugged lantern]

you update a database like you normally update one- that it's called by a command does not interfere with anything

[stark crater]

like if I had a command call, "work" and I needed to add money to the person's balance, that would all be done in the command?

[rugged lantern]

learn how to use a database and let your brain figure out the rest

sqlite is easiest

[stark crater]

Ok

Thank you

[fervent cradle]

yo

does anyone know how to get the message id of a message when someone hits a button

like .. if someone hits a button it will print the message id that the button is attached to

i knoiw dumb question

[rugged lantern]

the same way u'd get the id of any other message

[fervent cradle]

just interaction.id ?

i thought that would be a differnet id than the original message id

[severe comet]

Anyone have a good driver recommendation for MySQL?

[fervent cradle]

yep they are different

is this even possible ?

[rugged lantern]

tf u mean is this even possible

[copper dew]

asyncmy

for postgres, asyncpg

[severe comet]

tyty

[copper dew]

np

[full basin]

interaction.id is the interaction ID (lmao) not the message ID.

Read the docs.

[fervent cradle]

? fucks ur issue

[full basin]

.docslink discord.Interaction

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.Interaction

[fervent cradle]

i literally said right here i thought it would be different

[full basin]

You're literally looking for the message ID

[fervent cradle]

Yes

[full basin]

And I'm giving you an answer. Get down your sassy attitude.

[fervent cradle]

bro what?

[full basin]

No?

Are you even able to read

Read the docs and you'll cutely find out the interaction class has a message attribute which contains a message object

[fervent cradle]

sorry if i came off sassy

you're right

sorry if i came off sassy my bad bro

[full basin]

Learn how to read and read the docs. Won't literally spit the answer for you when you have eyes.

[fervent cradle]

alright nvm fuck u

freako

[rugged lantern]

lil bro got issues

[silver moat]

Please keep general conversations to their respective channels

[west pebble]

is the commands cooldown on a per user usecase or is it a serverwide cooldown

[silver moat]

It depends on your BucketType.

[west pebble]

im not sure i understand what you mean by BucketType

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[west pebble]

ooh cool

so if i set it to guild. it would be server wide cool

[silver moat]

yes

[fervent cradle]

i've been waiting for a bit now and this stays, did i do something wrong?

[young bone]

Do you use ctx.send?

[fervent cradle]

no, respond

but it works again

no idea what happened

🤷

[young bone]

lul

[proud pagoda]

Tbh u could just have a webserver set up that recieves the request and then gives the reward to the user

If ur using flask then just add a task to a DB and then have a tasks.loop running in ur bot that will check the db for votes and give the use a reward or add roles or smthn

[cyan quail]

This just means your client had an outdated version of the command cached, so you have to wait for discord to sync the latest version to you

Basically their way of preventing a desync when devs update commands

[fervent cradle]

ah okay

[cobalt tangle]

Sometimes, the cmd takes time to load into Discord. You probably started the bot and immediately tried that cmd. Give it like 30s to load.

That's the issue

[unborn veldt]

How can i edit slash_command’s message?

Hey, anyone can help me?

[copper dew]

the interaction?

[unborn veldt]

Yes

like this

i want to edit this message

[young bone]

You mean you want to edit an embed?

[unborn veldt]

yes

Can I do this?

[young bone]

Yes

[unborn veldt]

how?

OwO

[unborn veldt]

can teach me?

[copper dew]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit

[severe comet]

Do buttons expire if I don't specify a timeout? Like will it last as long as the bot is online?

[unborn veldt]

button will timeout

i tried

about 3min

[young bone]

180 seconds = 3 minutes

[severe comet]

Guess I have to do it the Persistent View way

[pseudo dawn]

Has somebody experienced problems when subclassing? I did encounter a strange error. I detailed the things in #1034020574420283404 .

[cobalt tangle]

Guys, if my bot sends a msg with a button with a timeout of 360s and I restart the bot at 120s, will the button still work? if no, how can I get it to work?

[full basin]

You don't need persistent views if you want the button work while the bot is online. Just specify timeout=None

[pseudo dawn]

How many slash commands can you have?
Is there still a limit like in the past days?

[young bone]

100 is max

[pseudo dawn]

That's good. I can't imagine having more that 100 base commands 😅

[young bone]

Im not even sure if you can have more with sub commands

[tiny wagon]

if all 100 commands are grouped command, and 2 subcommand in each group

then 200 commands?

[pseudo dawn]

We'll see

[tiny wagon]

or net listed commands are 100 max

[kindred sail]

you can have 100 global commands, and each command can have up to 25 sub-command groups. Each sub-command group can have up to 25 sub-commands.

100 x 25 x 25 = 62.5k

[tiny wagon]

oh zamn

slash spammer bots

[autumn goblet]

Hello!
Can you please tell me how to get locale and guild_locale using interaction?

[pearl sail]

My on_message event handler interferes with my command event. Is there any way I can make the bot focus on the commands first before it checks the on_message thingy

[round rivet]

on_message does the command handling

you can override the default event and move process_commands though

[proud mason]

plus you can register additional commands as guild commands

[kindred sail]

yep

[proud mason]

iirc, they have the same limits

[kindred sail]

thats just global, you can have that per guild as well

[proud mason]

so 62.5k + 62.5k

so 125k cmds right

[kindred sail]

wellllll, if we wanted to get technical

if g is the number of guilds,
62500 + 62500g = total number of commands

cuz they don't have to be the same for every guild

[proud mason]

oh true

[proud mason]

but if you wanted more than 62.5k cmds on all servers then that would be the way

[silver moat]

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

[light sky]

if a member boosted a server twice does guild.premium_subscribers has them listed twice?

[cyan quail]

nope

i don't think the api offers the amount of times someone's boosted

[light sky]

ok ty

[verbal gulch]

Hello. Why i get this error?

(i can also give the code, just ping me)

[cyan quail]

what pycord version

[verbal gulch]

2.0.0b1

bruh

upgrade to 2.2.2

[verbal gulch]

Ok

Thanks

[fervent cradle]

my code

names = []
    for row in tkm:   
      names.append(f'<@{row.id}> > ({row.id})')
    await ctx.respond(names,ephemeral=True) ```

I need to send that message like carl bot how to send message like that anyone help me

[rugged lantern]

use string instead

names = ""

for row in tkm:
    names += f"<@{row.id} >> ({row.id}) \n"
await ctx.respond(names, ephemeral=True) 

directly equivalent to that

[fervent cradle]

not working and only showing first member

[rugged lantern]

i don't have the rest of your code to know the correctly applicable translation

[severe comet]

Yep, figured that out after a bit of experimentation. Thank you tho \o/

[fervent cradle]

It means you've put an = instead of a : somewhere

lol

The variable opt is a type

If somewhere you've done something like opt = str instead of opt: str you'll get this error

lol

[lost lodge]

Guys, how can i link a channel in a embed, i rember somthing like this <channel_name:channel_id>

[proud pagoda]

If you have the channel object you should just be able to use the mention attribute

[lost lodge]

and how?

[proud pagoda]

How to get the channel object?

[woeful spindle]

<#channel_ID> but like legend said if u have the channel object then use the mention attribute

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.TextChannel.mention

[vapid pumice]

@fast totem were you able to get your embed generator setup and functional?

I would love to get something like @abstract marlin's embed generator working, but I have NOOO clue where to start with something like that.

[lost lodge]

Thx

[proud mason]

what if i send multiple buttons with same custom id?

[simple canopy]

Is it possible to prevent console error message if global check for command fails?

💀

oh well i figured it out.

[meager mica]

hey so it said perms only work for top level commands

is there a workaround

becuz this bot might go above command limit

[rugged lantern]

read ffs

[rugged lantern]

great. that gives you something to work on for the next month or so

Is there a way I can place my bot token in a separate file so that I can not have it visible constantly?

[full basin]

Because they use default avatars. Use display_avatar instead of avatar

[full basin]

Read the error

[full basin]

It was for another guy. Looks like he deleted the message.

[naive steppe]

i use a try except on pfp and banner when grabbing them

[full basin]

You can get the banner?

Oh you can, lol.Cool

[fervent cradle]

why this command is registered to / command

@bot.command()
async def sano(ctx, sanominen):
    await ctx.send(sanominen)

[rugged lantern]

because you're using discord.Bot

[west pebble]

Because it appears to have Finnish variables l

[fervent cradle]

what i then need to use to use perfix commands

[fervent cradle]

is this the real reason

[west pebble]

No. I was kidding. I was just guessing

[rugged lantern]

obviously

[rugged lantern]

use commands.Bot for prefixed

[fervent cradle]

do you are form finland or do you just using google tranlater

[fervent cradle]

thanks i test

                await channel2.delete()

[silver moat]

no

[fervent cradle]

then what is pynacl basically for

[silver moat]

if you want to make your bot play stuff inside a voice channel iirc

[fervent cradle]

ok

[copper dew]

PyNaCl is used for voice support

[fervent cradle]

well this was unexpected

i cant search anything

why this sey this wrong

[fervent cradle]

remove import discord.ext

[fervent cradle]

i etsted

tested

its dosent work

discord is discord.ext

[fervent cradle]

What pip command did you use to install pycord?

[fervent cradle]

i fuond the prodmel

i use too new python 3.11

works fine on 3.11 for me i unno

ok

but alright cool

[fervent cradle]

just pip install discord

[fervent cradle]

it should be pip install py-cord

ok

thanks

[copper dew]

I'm not upgrading my bots to 3.11 just yet. Waiting for other libs to support 3.11 and gonna wait a couple of weeks for new releases to iron out bugs

[drowsy python]

hey, how do you get a message’s reply if it exists? goal is to make the bot react to the reply a message has

i see MessageReference but i’m not sure if its what i’d need

[deep flax]

ive just tried to update it

i got some weird error message

can you guys help me to figure out what it is?

[young bone]

you need the git version

[deep flax]

how do i install it?

[fervent cradle]

how can i check if the author is in a tempchannel already if they try to override the tempchannel settings with a vc which is already a tempchannel
is it necessary i commit the channel id and all in db, coz i dont really want to do that

[young bone]

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

[deep flax]

i think that worked

tysm

[loud holly]

Docs down?

uhhh

loving the new style

[alpine crag]

Quick question: I just searched how to make a cog, but I get this error and I assume its from line 15 of event_onready.py. Does anyone know what I did wrong? If I remove the async and await, then it just says that the self.bot.name is not defined (because it doesnt wait for the bot to turn on).

[proud pagoda]

The setup function is not async, so remove the async def and just make it def

That's a dpy thing, not a pycord thing

[alpine crag]

Alright, and the await should still work?

[proud pagoda]

Which await?

[alpine crag]

On line 15

Of the event_onready.py

[rugged lantern]

remove the async

[alpine crag]

I have

But await is only allowed within async functions

[rugged lantern]

you're not supposed to await the add_cog

[alpine crag]

Ah, I see now, thanks, had an error in another part of the code that made me believe the bot wasn't properly loaded in, my bad

[safe stirrup]

So I just came back to development after being away for quite some time, fired up my bot, fixed the version info...but my prefix commands are not being registered AT ALL. No error or debug, either.

Bot comes online just fine

[rugged lantern]

the same way you do it normally?

you need \n after yml

[lost lodge]

Hello, how can i create something like that?

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#user_command

[verbal marten]

not that

@lost lodge https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=user_command#discord.Bot.user_command

Staying on the topic of user commands, is there any way I can hide them completely based on the channel the user is clicked in? Or will I have to stick to using a check after its clicked

[meager mica]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction i keep getting this but i cant find anyhing thats not working on my bot defering it seems to not make error appear but the bot always works

it happens at completly random times

[verbal marten]

Does your bot reply with 'The application did not respond' before this error happens?

Most likely case is your bot is taking too long to respond (more than 3 seconds) so discord is timing out the interaction. If you defer, it gives you up to 3 minutes of 'thinking time'

[meager mica]

i havnt seen any

[verbal marten]

It is probably your bot taking too long to respond, if you say it stops happening if you defer the response

[meager mica]

yes its just weird i never see it not respond

[meager mica]

are embed descriptions optinal or required i dont see the docs say anyhing about it

[simple canopy]

it's not required

nothing is required as long as there is at least one of those things present

aka, you can have only description, or only 1 field etc.

[meager mica]

ohhhhh

thats really cool

[fervent cradle]

i also have that

cant do anything on it

[meager mica]

does members have attribute date_joined or somthing i cant find any on docs or do i have to store it manually

[naive steppe]

Yes

Tho i believe its typed different

[meager mica]

oh i think i got

joined_at

[naive steppe]

Joined_at i think

[meager mica]

thanks

[naive steppe]

👍

[rotund current]

I am assuming the answer is no, but is it possible to have a slash command's input fields change depending on the AutocompleteContext

For example, I use autocomplete functions to change what options are available in my slash commands depending on the user and other factors, but is it possible to use something like that to change what fields the slash command has or the field names or anything?

[silver moat]

yes

[rotund current]

Really. Is there a place in the docs that I can find how to do it?

[silver moat]

.docslink discord.AutocompleteContext

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.AutocompleteContext

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[silver moat]

@rotund current

[rotund current]

I've used that example extensively. I guess what I am asking is if it is possible to present a slash command function in different scenarios

[naive steppe]

Yeah, i applied this using a json that contained different autocompletes depending on what each server added to the list

If someone dosnt already explain i can send my example when im home

[fallow hawk]

how would i go about getting the value of something that looks like "{\"JoinInProgressData\":{\"request\":{\"target\":\"INVALID\",\"time\":0},\"responses\":[]}}" ?

[simple canopy]

you can use json.loads() to make it usable

[silver moat]

yes

[safe stirrup]

I'm boutta fight my server

[fallow hawk]

oh do the /'s not matter?

[rare ice]

Run pip freeze and send me the output

[safe stirrup]

There's a lot of output, but I assume this may be what you are looking for:

UNKNOWN @ git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord@f89453e92f00dd2bcf2a20aec705f88073d077e3

[simple canopy]

no, they are used so string doesn't break

[safe stirrup]

Otherwise I can send it all

[fallow hawk]

oh ok ty

i just realized i cant do anything since its a string lol

the whole thing

[lost lodge]

Thx

[echo pond]

Hi I got a simple question (atleast I think there would be a simple answer)
I am trying to use guild.get_role(role_id) in a slashcommand and in a task loop but it return None every single time.
In my on_raw_reaction_add&on_raw_reaction_remove it works fine?

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.guilds = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/', intents=intents)

I do got my intents setup (atleast I think correctly)

yes my bot has access to the role (is above all the roles), I can do guild.roles and it shows me the roles of the guild. Tried aswell to fetch the roles of the guild.

[echo pond]

^ figured out what the issue was (I was putting in a string instead of a int)

[pseudo dawn]

Hi, could I hook into all commands to collect metrics?
I want to collect the total number of commands executed since the last start and don't want to duplicate the counter for every Command in every cog...

[cyan quail]

use the on_application_command event

[verbal marten]

Is there any way I can limit context menu commands to show in the menu in specific channels only?

[pseudo dawn]

And for prefix commands?

[young bone]

on_command

[pseudo dawn]

Thanks

[full basin]

Don't think so. You can do internal checks.

[verbal marten]

Dark why do you have to bring me such sad news

[full basin]

Lmao. Sorry mich

You want to make your second response slower?

Your channel is None

[tiny wagon]

according to docs, Interaction.user returns a union of User and Member object
but when i use timeout_for method, it says: 'User' object has no attribute 'timeout_for'

how to fix this?

[fervent cradle]

pls help

[proud mason]

wait no

thats some fucked up variable naming ngl

[rare ice]

You don’t even have Discord installed according to your DM

.tag install

[winter condor]

pip install py-cord

[proud mason]

it should be working

tbh

[still helm]

😄

also last line?

[proud mason]

you get errors when installing pycord?

[fervent cradle]

yes and all errors is in first

[wary rover]

Hello!
Do you know how to retrieve a user's "Locale"?
I have the one of a CTX but not the one of a member using the "on_member_join" event

[fervent cradle]

froms message

[safe stirrup]

This server is exclusively for running the bot off of - is this new? My previous versions have never needed Discord installed.

Oh oh

I see what you're saying

[rare ice]

Dude, you still need to install Pycord. How do you expect to use it if it’s not installed

.tag install

[winter condor]

pip install py-cord

[safe stirrup]

I ran the git command but never the py-cord

Which...is all I did in my dev environment too actually

un momento

Mmkay. That was it. But now I'm confused because that means py-cord was already installed in my dev environment...unless...

You know what, no. It works now, thanks. Not gonna argue with it.

[young bone]

and how should we help you?

[safe stirrup]

Did you add checks to see where it's failing

[rare ice]

.tag idw

[winter condor]

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.

[rare ice]

You need to respond to the interaction with a response

According to your code you aren’t

[young bone]

use try and except...

[rare ice]

They need to respond to the interaction

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands#syntax

ctx.respond

i really hope you have read the docs before

[rugged lantern]

don't be rude; he's just asking us to do all the work for him

[safe stirrup]

There are docs?

Jk. :#

[young bone]

Can I use the persistent only with a View class?

That's the only thing you can persist isn't it

I was trying it with py button = ...

[wary rover]

Help, please :c

[slender shuttle]

Is this error due to the host?
aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:default [Temporary failure in name resolution]

[silver moat]

yes

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.locale

if you mean ctx as in ApplicationContext, you can use ctx.interaction.locale

[wary rover]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_join(self, member):

I can't get the "Locale" variable from this event.

[silver moat]

you were not supposed to.

and the best is the guild's locale

[wary rover]

I make a server for French and English

I think I'll give up if there's no way

[silver moat]

discord only gives the users' locale in an interaction. it is otherwise inaccessible

[wary rover]

Okay, thanks @silver moat 🙂

[silver moat]

you're welcome

[hybrid oasis]

looking for suggestions on managing custom emoji for a big ol game. does anyone have experience with this? should i just create a bunch of servers and keep references to their emoji in a config file somewhere?

[cyan quail]

how many custom emoji do you need? lol

[hybrid oasis]

hmm i'm thinking at least 50, probably 100-150

[cyan quail]

well the only thing you need is the ID

since you can do bot.get_emoji to use them

so your strategy will work pretty easily

[hybrid oasis]

so i'll probably just make a config file with the emoji separated by server, and refer to the emoji ID from there

[cyan quail]

it doesn't even need to be separated by server

but if you want to then go ahead

[hybrid oasis]

oh yeah, i want to categorize them like "fish," "items" etc

[cyan quail]

isee

[hybrid oasis]

so many servers to add 😦 should i just waste money boosting one XD

[cyan quail]

well that's why i'm saying you shouldn't bother with splitting it by server, 150 custom emojis only requires 3

you could categorize it in the code, e.g. have classes for them

[hybrid oasis]

discord bill getting so big i think i will just make a boosted server

[cyan quail]

like py class Fish: bass = 1034827843441545306or something

fair enough

[simple canopy]

Well, bot can use any emojis from any server, so you can just create empty servers with emojis

[rugged lantern]

inb4 they change it so you need to have nitro to even use custom emojis for bots

[somber remnant]

Is there a suggested way to add a cooldown to an on_message event that doesn't stop commands from being processed, or is that more or less not a thing?

More specifically, a cooldown for an if statement under an on_message event.

[simple canopy]

should i somehow configure sentry to work better with async?
oh well, it seems to configure itself

[safe stirrup]

Oh.

[safe stirrup]

In my defense, I have nothing to back up the beginning of this statement.

[merry briar]

How many add_files can be made in total?

Frankly though, Async often confuses me, but I am easily confused.

uhh can you elaborate? not sure what you mean by add_files

[merry briar]

add_fields. sorry

pycord returning wrong id for ctx.guild.id

it seems

1024102454943559700 is what it returns

1024102454943559730 is what it is when i click copy id

aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:default [Access is denied]

Oh wait I have an idea of what it could be

Yep

It was my firewall

Made a mistake in the settings

[young bone]

I see you so many times in this channel

[full basin]

So, working around forum posts. I can pass overwrites. But not quite sure how I exactly overwrite permissions for specific roles or members. Docs say it expects a dict with a target

[round rivet]

dict has keys of target (user/role) and values of PermissionOverwrite

[full basin]

So basically I provide a user or role object

user = ctx.author
overwrites = {user: discord.PermissionsOverwrite(read_messages=False)"}```?
