Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[fervent cradle]

How do I know which button the user clicked though, sorry for my ignorance. I've been using discord.ui with 'view's, but I have no idea how to simply know which button the user clicked and store it in a variable for later use.

e.g.:

button = Button(label="Yes!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji="✅")
view = View()
view.add_item(button)
await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=view)

[limber urchin]

I'd recommend making your own subclass of discord.ui.View, that way you can add buttons and callbacks to those buttons in that class and keep it all neat. No need to call add_item. Here's an example:
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/counter.py

[fervent cradle]

Hmm that's interesting, thanks. But my question remains though... say in this example, how to see whether the user actually clicked the "Press!" button? And how would I store that information to use later (in the "counter" command decorator itself) e.g.

if button_clicked:
  #do this
else:
  #do this

[limber urchin]

Set an attribute of self on your View class and store your information in that

[cold hamlet]

Is pyenv 3.11 compatable?

not pyenv

pycord

I reset my raspi and I've had to install so many pixyz and pyxyz things today my mind is completely scrambled lol

[cyan quail]

on master branch yes

[cold hamlet]

ok awesome thanks

[cyan quail]

unless you're using commands.Flags

otherwise yeah

[cold hamlet]

I didn't even know that was a thing tbh

[young bone]

How can I count the messages of a channel? I was trying to get the channel with fetch_channel() and other stuff but I get this error everytime

TypeError: 'HistoryIterator' object is not iterable

channel = await interaction.client.fetch_channel(interaction.channel_id)
for message in channel.history(limit=None):
    await message.delete()

[cold hamlet]

async for

[cyan quail]

it's async for

[young bone]

oh

thx!

[harsh dust]

welp works on my vps so ig it doesnt matter its only on my PC

[foggy mortar]

how can you make a code run each second?

or do u have to just use an asyncio loop?

[fervent cradle]

you mean in the background?

[young bone]

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

[plush meadow]

Is there a proper way to edit an ephemeral message?

particularly one that is sent like so

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

editing this message throws a 404

[foggy mortar]

ty

[plush meadow]

you can't edit it at all? son of a gun

i'd assume there's no deleting it either then

[limber urchin]

Discord did implement deleting of ephemeral messages in their API, so it should be possible

[foggy mortar]

how can you place it in a cog?

inside the __init__ function or just outside?

[young bone]

it is in kinda already in a cog?

[foggy mortar]

ok um i will try

[young bone]

If you know basic python?

[foggy mortar]

yes i forgot to use the function.start() lol

i used user=await discord.utils.get(self.bot.get_all_members(),id=i) and it says TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression,isnt client.get_all_members() a generator object

[rare ice]

So I’ve had an idea of a leveling system that where the XP required for each level up increases, what is the best way for the bot to calculate this when calculating someone’s level? Or should I just make a data dictionary manually with all the required XP for each level, which is a lot to do since I wanted a max level of 100, which is 100 keys and values to do.

[full basin]

Some math equation?

If you're looking for increased XP for every level, you could use a linear function

[harsh dust]

how do I go by deleting a channel?

nvm found out

[winter condor]

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[round rivet]

'n commands' is not a directory

[foggy mortar]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/efedehuxal why would this happen

[limber urchin]

Do you have any conflicting libraries installed? Such as discord.py?

[foggy mortar]

nope

it worked 2 minutes ago with exact same libraries installed

i just added a few lines of code

[meager heron]

Is anyone having trouble with being rate-limited today?

[thorn reef]

Is there a way to make a slash command interaction last longer?

[fervent cradle]

but it isnt being told to load that

or am i blind

[fervent cradle]

I did lol

[limber urchin]

Are you on a shared host?

[meager heron]

My bots are all on Railway. The others are working fine

[limber urchin]

You can use https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.ApplicationContext.defer to prevent the 3 second timeout

[limber urchin]

Never heard of it, but rate limits only happen if your bot / someone on the same IP is spamming requests to Discord's API more than they should

[meager heron]

It's similar to Heroku

I'll ask on their official server. Thanks

[round rivet]

take 'Fun commands' and remove the first two characters

[fervent cradle]

The folder is called "Fun commands" though..

[limber urchin]

You're removing the first two characters of the directory for some reason

Which means you end up with 'n commands'

[fervent cradle]

Its named correctly, or am i misunderstanding?

[limber urchin]

In your code, you're removing the first two letters of the directory you are trying to load the cog from

Is there a reason for this?

[fervent cradle]

No, and i didnt even reliase i was?

[limber urchin]

I'm assuming this was copied from the internet then?

[fervent cradle]

Nope the main file was old code from a previous bot i had made (to prevent re typing the same code)

it was from a wehile ago

while*

[fervent cradle]

Should i remove the secition highlighted

[limber urchin]

Try it and see

[fervent cradle]

thanks it works, weird as it loaded the other command i had in another directory.

[fervent cradle]

I am trying to connect to github with my project.
I get to push it then get this error.
error: failed to push some refs to github link

Is there a way to use send_modal() to a specific channel, rather than the channel of ctx? I tried this, but it didn't work.

await self.bot.get_channel(int(1041456824894890064)).send_modal(modal)

[young bone]

channel = ...
await channel.send_modal()?

[fervent cradle]

Anyone know why this is happening?

[fervent cradle]

same error.

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'TextChannel' object has no attribute 'send_modal'

[silver moat]

no

[fervent cradle]

hmm, that's a shame

I guess i'll have to store the output myself and create a new embed to send to another channel

[fervent cradle]

.

Oh i found an easier way, say add the line in the callback function in the Modal class instead. Works like a charm.

await self.bot.get_channel(int(1041456824894890064)).send(embeds=[embed])

[fervent cradle]

Hi

I found something that you may find useful, im not sure if its exactly what your looking for

but i thought id try help

Its just my code from a suggestions command

from pymongo import MongoClient
from discord.ext.commands import slash_command
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import Cog
import datetime

class Suggestions(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self,bot,*args, **kwargs) -> None:
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Your Suggestion: ", style=discord.InputTextStyle.long))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        m = await interaction.response.send_message("Suggestion send!", ephemeral=True)
        suggest = discord.Embed(title=f"Suggestion by {interaction.user} Under Review ",color=discord.Color.blue())
        suggest.add_field(name="Your Suggestion: ", value=self.children[0].value)
        suggest.timestamp = datetime.datetime.now()
        suggest.set_footer(text=f"Message id: {m.id}  ")
        channel = self.bot.get_channel(987396375069224960)
        embed = await channel.send('Suggestions Ping: <@&988496229229002792>',embed=suggest)
        await embed.add_reaction('☑')
        await embed.add_reaction('❌')

        await ctx.send_modal(Suggestions(self.bot, title="Suggestion"))



def setup(bot):
   bot.add_cog(Suggest(bot))```

Anyone

this is close to what I did! Thanks though.

[fervent cradle]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7228715/git-failed-to-push-some-refs-although-i-have-done-git-pull

Google is your friend.

thanks, didn't expect Google to help with that specific error lol

[limber urchin]

As per #help-rules you should always try to google yourself before asking here

[fervent cradle]

sorry

[fervent cradle]

Hasnt worked (and yes, i've aked google)

fatal: couldn't find remote ref main

did you use git pull origin master?

[mortal junco]

Guys I know this is kinda stupid but how do I make my bot run by just opening the py file
I paid for a bot hosting just for them to tell me they don’t support the way I open it

[limber urchin]

what?

that is literally how you run your bot, by running it's script

sounds like a really shitty host if they don't allow you to run python files

[fierce hazel]

Hi, can I fetch the a Guild object from a discord.Cog.listener?

[limber urchin]

depends on what listener it is

[full basin]

You can, whatever listener it is

[fierce hazel]

Thanks!

[plush meadow]

i'm intrigued. i haven't been able to make it work

there must be some sort of sauce to it that i can't figure out, because i keep getting a 404

[limber urchin]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#delete-ephemeral-messages It's documented here, but I'm not sure if Pycord has support for that endpoint yet

[plush meadow]

oh that would make sense, damn

[harsh canyon]

how would i go about saving audio from start_recording to a mp3 file?

[long torrent]

How do I catch and respond to a "Forbidden" error when using paginator.respond? My page is being defined in a view class and I'm sending it with a slash command by responding with the view.

[mortal junco]

Hey

are you avaliable still

i run the bot in cmd using python test.py

and they said they dont support that

i have a cfg file so i cant just run it like that

[harsh canyon]

basically a discord.File but to save to disk

[harsh canyon]

what do they support?

[mortal junco]

it has to be the file getting like opened

if yk what i mean

[harsh canyon]

hmm

weird

what os is this on?

on windows you should be able to right click open with and then python

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49157570/run-python-script-through-shell-script-by-double-click this for linux

[mortal junco]

it wont let me

[harsh canyon]

if your host is using windows i would get a new host if you are trying to do this on your computer i cant help since i dont use windows

but probably google will help

Trying to create a /warn command that takes a member as input and warns the user. is this the right way to do so?

  @commands.slash_command()
    async def warn(self, ctx, member : discord.Option(input_type= discord.SlashCommandOptionType.user, description= "Member to be warned", required = True),  reason : discord.Option(type = str , description= "Reason for warning", required = True)):
        await ctx.defer()
        channel = await member.create_dm()
        embed = discord.Embed(title='Warning', description=reason, color=0xff0000)
        embed = embed.add_field(name='Moderator', value=ctx.author.mention)
        embed = embed.add_field(name='Reason', value=reason)
        embed = embed.set_footer(text=f'You have been warned by {ctx.author.name}')
        await channel.send(embed=embed)
        await ctx.respond(f'Warned user {member} for reason {reason}', ephemeral=True)
        channel = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.channels, id = self.config.get('log_channel'))
        await channel.send(f'Warned user {member} for reason {reason} by <@{ctx.author.id}>')

I am having error at line 3 channel = await member.create_dm() because it is of type str. what is the error here?

[mortal junco]

the host is sparkedhosting

[harsh canyon]

assuming you have a vps is it linux or windows?

[proud mason]

You don't need to call member.create_dm

Just call member.send(...)

[fervent cradle]

how do add the url to the discord.ButtonStyle.link

[proud mason]

Also rather than using discord.utils.get

Use channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(self.config.get(...))

[proud mason]

@discord.ui.button(label="Something", url="someurl.com")

[fervent cradle]

TypeError: button() got an unexpected keyword argument 'url'

[long torrent]

Does paginator have support for message defering? When i defer the interaction response I cant respond with my Paginator object

[proud mason]

Huh what

Show your code

[fervent cradle]

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="Something", url="https://discord.com/users/444255651397632001/")
async def button_callback(self, button, interaction, urk):
await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the button!")

@discord.ui.button(label="Link2", url="https://3itx.live/")
async def second_button_callback(self, button, interaction, url):
    await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the button!")

[fervent cradle]

there

[proud mason]

Yeah it does allow, you are using paginator.respond right?

[long torrent]

Yea

[proud mason]

What error is raised?

[proud mason]

Close the both the strings

"text"

[long torrent]

This interaction has already been responded to before

[fervent cradle]

like remove it?

[proud mason]

No
Put " on both sides of the url

You only out it on 1 side

[proud mason]

Hmm

[fervent cradle]

wait that discord being crap with putting stuff my bad should have sent u a ss

[proud mason]

You can also use a codeblock

[proud mason]

Ah wait there is no callback for url buttons

[long torrent]

i'm just trying to add a check to tell the user to enable their dm's if the paginator can't be sent but I get that same error if I try and update the message sent without defering it

[fervent cradle]

ok removed it

now?

[proud mason]

Use the self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="hi" , url = "url"))

In the init of the view

[proud mason]

So you are getting that error even if you don't defer it?

[long torrent]

yea

[proud mason]

Ah so

You might have multiple instances of the bot running

[long torrent]

I don't, the bot goes offline and stop responding to commands as soon as I ctrl+c in my terminal

[proud mason]

Hmm

[fervent cradle]

like this?

[proud mason]

No

See this https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/link.py

[fervent cradle]

oh there

[long torrent]

it would give me that error when I tried to catch the 403 forbidden error with

 try:
     await paginator.respond(interaction, ephemeral=True, target=interaction.user, target_message="Please check your DMs")
 except discord.errors.Forbidden:
     await interaction.response.send_message("Please enable DMs from server members", ephemeral=True)```

indents are all wrong but you get the picture

[proud mason]

The only time i faced that issue was when multiple instances of the bot were running. I did a token reset and it got sorted out

Try that or wait for someone who knows

[proud mason]

Ah there

In the except part

Do interaction.followup.send

Cuz you have deferred earlier

Ig

[long torrent]

That was when I wasn't deferring, now that I am I did do that and I still get the same error.

    paginator = Paginator(pages=AppPages, show_indicator=True, use_default_buttons=False, custom_buttons=buttons)
    try:
        await paginator.respond(interaction, ephemeral=True, target=interaction.user, target_message="Please check your DMs!")
    except discord.errors.Forbidden as e:
         print(e)
         await interaction.followup.send(content="Please enable DMs from server members!", ephemeral=True, delete_after=10)
    except Exception as e:
         print(e)
         await interaction.followup.send(content="Something went wrong!", ephemeral=True, delete_after=10)```

this is what i'm doing now

[fervent cradle]

this

[long torrent]

Wait does defering mark the response as done?

thats probably why

[fervent cradle]

i got it working

:D\

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: ApplicationCommand.call() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

[mortal junco]

@worldly tendon please

Can you help me with something not involving coding

[worldly tendon]

i have ben summoned

[mortal junco]

I’m trying to host my bot on spark hosting but they don’t support the way I run my bot

I do python Test.py to get it to run in cmd

But they only support launching the py file

But when I try to do it it don’t find other directory’s

Don’t know if you understand what I’m saying

[mortal junco]

Summoned )000

[worldly tendon]

not really

[mortal junco]

So my bot, the way I run it is opening cmd and typing in “python Filename.py”

But I paid for hosting and they only support the way you run it by running the py file directly which means it can’t find the directory’s with the account info

Is that better?

[worldly tendon]

i dont understand what "running the py file directly" means

[mortal junco]

Opening the .py file with python

Or running it in visual studio terminal

Instead of doing it through the directory cmd

[worldly tendon]

that shouldnt matter tho

[mortal junco]

Well when I launch it with python it says it can’t find the config file

[worldly tendon]

probably because of absolute and relative paths

[mortal junco]

I didn’t import them would that be the issue

They are ina. Different folder though so I don’t think you can

[mortal junco]

So I just spent 6 bucks on nothing

I need my bot hosted :/

[worldly tendon]

import pathlib
pathlib.Path().resolve()

this gets the path the current file that is being ran is in.
you can then get whatever you need by appending your own path

import pathlib
currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
pathOfSomeFile = currpath.joinpath('somefolder', 'somefile.txt')

untested

let me see if this actuall works

yes

and then you load pathOfSomeFile

@mortal junco

[mortal junco]

I have to do that twice

Since I have two txts

@worldly tendon wait don’t think that would work because I can’t put that in a txt, I need the path that the two txts are in

Or I’m mentally I’ll and confused lnfao

[worldly tendon]

??

I need the path that the two txts are in

import pathlib
currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
pathOfSomeFile = currpath.joinpath('the', 'path', 'to', 'your' 'textfile.txt')

from where that script is executed.

eg

/ bot.py
/ files / mytextfile.txt

then it would be

import pathlib
currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
pathOfSomeFile = currpath.joinpath('files', 'mytextfile.txt')

I can’t put that in a txt
if you need to put a path in a textfile, you are doing something super wrong

[cobalt tangle]

why does role.id return wrong ID

[limber urchin]

Elaborate

[cobalt tangle]

Nevermind, it was a db limit

[cobalt tangle]

Sorry, I was a bit frustrated and in a hurry so I didnt elaborate.

[cobalt tangle]

I need help here though

[raw gust]

Lst is not a list its a generator.

and generators dont have a length

[cobalt tangle]

how do i get around it

[raw gust]

Well depends. Where do you call the function? What parameter do you give for lst.

[cobalt tangle]

I give cog.walk_commands()

I call it in an interaction's callback

in dropdown to be exact*

I sent the whole code

[raw gust]

ah cog.walk_commands() gives an generator. simply use list(cog.walk_commands())

[cobalt tangle]

oki

[peak chasm]

How do I select 2 in my view? Selecting 1 sends it to me automatically. (sample image attached)

[raw gust]

set min and max values

[peak chasm]

grax <3

thanks *** <3

i love u :'v

💋

[raw gust]

no problem 😉

[harsh canyon]

il host ur bot if you want lol

why this happen

[grizzled sentinel]

remove_application_command(command)

[foggy mortar]

its in the library

what u expect me to do

[grizzled sentinel]

The one you used is if your bot was set up for message commands. I assume becouse you are getting an error it is you are not trying to remove a message command

[foggy mortar]

File "F:\fun\Desktop\coding practice\python practice\bot_pycord\cog.py", line 129, in setup
bot.add_cog(cog(bot))
this is the only code i typed in

all else is the library

[grizzled sentinel]

Ohhh

Can you try renaming the file to something other than cog

[foggy mortar]

ok

looks the same

and i didnt install discord py

[grizzled sentinel]

Can you show your code for the subclass of cog and the whole setup function

[foggy mortar]

so the whole cog file?

[grizzled sentinel]

Yeah you can take out the commands to make it shorter

[foggy mortar]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/delucerepo

[grizzled sentinel]

Do you want slash commands or normal commands or both?

[foggy mortar]

slash commands

ah lol 😂

so its the line 63

yes its working now

ty

[grizzled sentinel]

👍

[merry briar]

Is it possible to skip the button somehow, so that it would turn out to be 2 buttons in 3 rows?

view.add_item()

[foggy mortar]

when i do this```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_application_command(ctx):

how can i make it so it will stop the command running?

[kindred moon]

Does someone have a concise way to have a @tasks.loop-decorator simultaneously loop through a list of input-variables?

Say I have a list of four possible values for the input-variable, I want it to use the first parameter in its first run-through, second in the second, etc., and then loop once the list is completed; [1, 2, 3, 4] becomes a run with input = 1, input = 2, input = 3, input = 4, input = 1, input = 2, etc.

I have the github link in requirments.txt file (but spelt right)

[fervent cradle]

Hey

[mortal junco]

@worldly tendon

yoooo i did what you asked correctly

import discord
import os
import platform
import pathlib

currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
pathOfSomeFile = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'ranked.txt')
pathOfSomeFile = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'skinned.txt')
client = discord.Bot()```

But its saying its missing the config file

thats in the same file as the .py

[worldly tendon]

1. you are overwriting the pathOfSomeFile variable
2. if you need the config.json file, you need to use
   currpath.joinpath('config.json')

[mortal junco]

i need to make a different variable

i see

import discord
import os
import platform
import pathlib

currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
AccountPath = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'ranked.txt')
SkinnedPath = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'skinned.txt')
currpath.joinpath('config.json')
client = discord.Bot()

[worldly tendon]

for 2, i am guessing that RadiantStore.py is the file that is executed

[mortal junco]

yes

why am i defining a variable

[worldly tendon]

import json
import discord
import os
import platform
import pathlib

currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
accounts_rankedPath = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'ranked.txt')
accounts_skinnedPath = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'skinned.txt')
configPath = currpath.joinpath('config.json')
client = discord.Bot()

[mortal junco]

when would i use that

[worldly tendon]

what?

[mortal junco]

yuh same issue

[worldly tendon]

where is that error in the code

[mortal junco]

    pass
else:
    os.mkdir("accounts")
 
if platform.system() == "Windows":
    os.system("cls")
else:
    os.system("clear")
 
try:
    json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Config File missing")
    input()
try:
    json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())["token"]
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Discord Token not set")
    input()
try:
    json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())["guild_id"]
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Guild ID not set")
    input()```

[worldly tendon]

like, where does it print "[ERROR] ..."

json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())

json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())
# needs to be
json.loads(open(configPath , "r").read())

[mortal junco]

and same for the others?

[worldly tendon]

yes

[worldly tendon]

also, i told you 5 times now that you should not
open("config.json", "r").read())["token"]
do this over and over

[mortal junco]

same thing

[worldly tendon]

you are loading the file again and again

just load it once and save it in a variable

[mortal junco]

 
try:
    jsonConfig = json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Config File missing")
    input()
 
if "token" not in jsonConfig:
    print("[ERROR] Discord Token not set")
    input()
 
if "guild_id" not in jsonConfig:
    print("[ERROR] Guild ID not set")
    input()```

ik u helped me do that

[worldly tendon]

i gave you this exact code but rewritten

[mortal junco]

Im working on old code rn just to see if it is hosted

code u rewrite dont work os

[worldly tendon]

what do you mean it doesnt work?

[mortal junco]

the role part just done work

we never fixed it ive tried for hours

[worldly tendon]

dude

import os, json
import pathlib

currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
configPath = currpath.joinpath('config.json')
jsonConfig = None

os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
 
try:
    jsonConfig = json.loads(open(configPath, "r").read())
except Exception as e:
    print("[ERROR] Config File missing")
    print(configPath)
    print(e)

if "token" not in jsonConfig:
    print("[ERROR] Discord Token not set")
    input()
 
if "guild_id" not in jsonConfig:
    print("[ERROR] Guild ID not set")
    input()

this works, i just tested it

@mortal junco

[mortal junco]

the role part of the code

dont work we tried to fix it

[worldly tendon]

i just tested it

it works

[worldly tendon]

@mortal junco use this

and change it so you have your other variables in it too

[mortal junco]

@worldly tendon done exactly as you said

[worldly tendon]

NO YOU DID NOT

i can see it in the error message

@mortal junco

bro come on

use your eyes

[mortal junco]

DUDE im not using that code you wrote me

it does not work

im reffering to the rest of the code

not the top part

when i give myself the role

it just dont see that

[worldly tendon]

it would work if you did it correctly

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mortal junco]

i did do it correctly..

im not fucking worried abt your code that involves opening a config, i could care less if it corrupts it has 2k lines in it that is stored on a backup, i just want to be able to host it

:/

[worldly tendon]

oh my god

you are not able to host it because the paths are messed up.
using the code i gave you at the top, will fix the paths, however you need to use those variables everywhere

i have told you before that cleaner code helps you to resolve issues and this is the exact same thing here

i cant help you any more if you are completly resistent

[mortal junco]

yes sir... ill try

[mortal junco]

ive told you my issue six times and your completley ignoring that

The bottom part of your code dont work i cant use your variable if im not using it like thast...

[worldly tendon]

even if my code doesnt work, i told you the reason and how you can avoid the relative and absolute path issues

then you need to do it yourself

[mortal junco]

jsonconfig is undefined idk wtf jsonconfig is you just created it for me

guess im hosting formyself forver since there is no good hostings

that provide windows support

[limber urchin]

Why do you need to host on Windows?

[mortal junco]

Because

the file dont work

because some kinda path issue

that slluxx is trying to make me rewrite my whole code

[limber urchin]

It looks to me like they're doing their best to help you but you aren't understanding their solution

which is not their fault

if you aren't happy with their suggestions then don't use them, but in that case all that's left is for you to figure it out on your own

[worldly tendon]

I dont care if you rewrite your code or not. But if you did write your code in an organized way in the first place, the question "why something doesnt work" is almost never come up. You will almost always know whats going wrong because you can see and easily debug it.

Thats the secret

[mortal junco]

well ive restarted completelty and gotta go through all this shit again so

[worldly tendon]

before you restart, you should read about code design, you should read about cog's in pycord and in general watch some videos about tipps & tricks in python

especially classes

[mortal junco]

omfg dude

i fixed this and now its doing it again when i restarted from default code and there is no loops this tme

[loud holly]

well then you're going to suffer with badly rewritten code, which you cba bc you don't want to rewrite your code to be better, if you want people to help, you'll have to be able to make others read your code as well, not only you

[mortal junco]

im not worried abt that, hes complaining abt me opening json because of it corrupting

whihc has nothing to do with that

[worldly tendon]

thats not true

[loud holly]

well yes partially true depending on the circumstances, if you're going to be using json files which will be getting data read and written to it, data will get corrupted

[worldly tendon]

i was informing you that a)
loading a json file 4 times instead of writing it into a variable is inefficient
and b) that if you read and write to json files, they can become corrupted due to race conditions

[loud holly]

that's why we're suggesting you from early on to use a good database

[limber urchin]

?tag nojson

[obtuse junco]

Why not to use json files for data storage
JSON files are commonly used to store data that is read by a program, however, they are unsuitable for storing dynamic data due to a number of reasons.
It is recommended to use a DBMS (Database Management System) as they come with optimized technologies for storing and retrieving information.

Advantages of using a database:
- Database tables can be related, making it easy to separate your information into multiple tables and only fetch what you need
- Databases allow you to use a query/data processing language to make complex data operations easier with less code
- One misplaced character will corrupt an entire file. A database very rarely experiences corruptions due to their automatic handling of data integrity
- Transactions in SQL databases allow you to revert unwanted changes and prevent data corruption in the case of an error
- Databases have support for indexes, allowing retrieval of some data to be extremely fast
- It is very easy to update existing data in a database, as opposed to re-writing a file
- Databases are reliable

Popular database management systems:

• SQLite3 (File based, no need for a server setup, SQLite is the most used database engine in the world)
• MongoDB (Stores data in documents a similar manner to JSON format, easy for beginners)
• PostgreSQL (Very popular and robust SQL based database management system)
• MySQL (Another popular SQL based system, good start for learning SQL)

[loud holly]

it's a good practice, then later on you won't have to complain to urself on you transferring data over since that is a hassle on its own if you want to keep ur users happy

[worldly tendon]

^

even if you dont care, you should still do good/best practices so you dont develop a habbit of doing it the lazy, inefficient and borderline dangerous (as in race conditions and file corruption) way

[mortal junco]

Okay, well i was just asking about hosting it you told me how

but then you start asking me to change my variables to the same way

it was before where it didnt open them

[worldly tendon]

i am not going to argue with you anymore.
ive been developing for over 15 years, a lot of that time professional.

When i started i knew jack shit and asked for help too. I definitely wouldnt be as good without all the awesome tips and tricks from other people. Listeneing to them is a must to get better and learn more.

I am showing you a lot of code for how you should go about things, just for you to see how its done and you are not understanding that you need to research the things on your own too and that you cant just copy paste them into your code - you will never learn this way

and because you think i am missunderstanding or ignoreing your questions, then you didnt understand the things i told you.

[mortal junco]

i am not arguing with you, i get waht your saying about the json files but i dont give a shit right now, i just need the bot to be able to host....... im listening to you and learning i just need it to fucking host i spent 10 bucks

[worldly tendon]

but thats the wrong mentality

and i will not support that

[mortal junco]

I WILL Get it to work after i get my money working bro...

[worldly tendon]

good luck

[mortal junco]

being rude for no reason wont help because i wont use a shitty sqllite

because im not spending hours reading doccumentation

[limber urchin]

then you probably shouldn't be a developer

[worldly tendon]

thats not the reason whatsoever, you are still not understanding

[limber urchin]

if you want to get good at programming you'll have to read documentation, there's no getting around that

[mortal junco]

i did this exactly like you asked

and then you bring up the json

and gave up on helping me

[worldly tendon]

[mortal junco]

and just keep bitching about the json

i dont care right now i want to get my money working...

i can fix it later

did exactly what you asked and asked how i would do it

and then u just ignore me and bitch about my json file

[worldly tendon]

i didnt advice you to buy anything. its not my fault that your code is crap
i am telling you how to fix your own things but all you want is working code

[mortal junco]

code works just fine....

i just want to be able to host

[worldly tendon]

if it would work fine, you would be able to host it

[mortal junco]

But your not helping me your just complaining abt my json files

[worldly tendon]

advice =/= complaining

[mortal junco]

okay bro you gave me this advice days ago

i wanna know how to fix this

not deal with this json file shit again

[worldly tendon]

then print the exception and use google

[cyan quail]

maybe

1. don't just copy full codeblocks and expect everything to go flawlessly without reading into it
2. don't provide full blocks of code for people to yoink and micromanage everything they're doing
   this channel isn't for spoonfeeding, it's for assistance. If what you're doing is beyond return, try to take it from the top and maybe find other people to talk to

[limber urchin]

Are you actually expecting an explanation, or are you just waiting for someone to write you a code block that you can copy and paste?

[mortal junco]

I wrote this myself....

[mortal junco]

they gave me an example of what i should do i diid it, and it didnt work ? like i dont know what else to do

[cyan quail]

and what i'm saying is you don't just throw around finished code, it's better to guide people to resources so they can figure it out themselves

[mortal junco]

simply all he told me was this

[worldly tendon]

#998272089343668364 message

[mortal junco]

YES AND I APPENDED my path

[worldly tendon]

based on the code, and if you have a brain, you can understand what it does

[mortal junco]

and its the same shit

[worldly tendon]

oh my

[cyan quail]

ok look

or rather, stop

let's take it from the top; what's the issue?

[mortal junco]

import discord
import os
import platform
import pathlib

currpath = pathlib.Path().resolve()
accounts_rankedPath = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'ranked.txt')
accounts_skinnedPath = currpath.joinpath('accounts', 'skinned.txt')
configPath = currpath.joinpath('config.json')
client = discord.Bot()```

[mortal junco]

i paid for a host that i cant use cause i run my bot through windows.

[cyan quail]

so what exactly is the issue with the host? most are inclined to be running on linux

but they typically make the setup not too difficult

[worldly tendon]

the issue is that his config.json is not being recognized

i thought it might be absolute / relative issue based on the hoster / os

[cyan quail]

that probably is the issue, but instead of using pathlib you can use typical path notation

[cyan quail]

if possible, what host is this?

[mortal junco]

sparked hosting

[worldly tendon]

that has some issues in certain cases. pathlib is a good lib

his issue is that he doesnt apply the variables to the places where the config files are loaded

[cyan quail]

so let's say

you have a main file in the root folder?

[mortal junco]

yes,

[cyan quail]

and where is the json located

[mortal junco]

i only have one .py

and the json is located in the same folder

as the main file

[cyan quail]

just in case, what about /home/container/config.json"

[mortal junco]

huh?

[cyan quail]

as the path

don't bother with pathlib, just use strings for your path

[mortal junco]

well im testing it on my pc

[mortal junco]

what do i use then

[cyan quail]

you should test on the server...

python takes regular strings as paths perfectly fine

[worldly tendon]

btw because he is testing on windows and has his server, using pathlib saves you a lot of trouble, as you never have to deal with os dependent slashes or absolute/relative paths

[cyan quail]

sure you might be developing on windows on your pc, but if you're hosting on a server then ideally all your testing should be done there to avoid conflicts with your environment

i mean in this scenario you don't have to care because python accepts / on both windows and linux

[worldly tendon]

true but this way i could also teach him about a lib which he would have otherwise not known. that was kind of the point for me. and the lib is really handy not just for paths

[mortal junco]

I have no clue how to use paths :/

as u can tel

[cyan quail]

pathlib is indeed useful, but instead of jumping right into it it'd be better to go with the basics so that it at the very least works

[worldly tendon]

i was under the assumption he at least knows how to write "/some/path/file.ext"

[mortal junco]

i know how to write a directoryu

but no clue the use of it

/
home
/
container
/
accounts
/
Ranked.txt

would be the directory for the host

[cyan quail]

for accounts_rankedPath and so on, could you try formatting it as just "accounts/ranked.txt"

also note that linux file paths are case sensitive

for the config, just do "config.json"

[worldly tendon]

im just gonna tune out now, i have to get control over the aneurysm back

[cyan quail]

havefun

[mortal junco]

import discord
import os
import platform

accounts_rankedPath = /home/container/accounts/Ranked.txt
accounts_skinnedPath = /home/container/accounts/Skinned.txt
configPath = "config.json"
client = discord.Bot()```
@cyan quail

this what ur syaing

[cyan quail]

remember to use quotes for strings

[mortal junco]

'

that instead of "

?

Why jw

[cyan quail]

no either works, but you forgot them on your first two variables

[mortal junco]

Yeah i just realized

File "/home/container/LightStore.py", line 10, in <module>
client = discord.Bot()
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

[cyan quail]

reinstall py-cord on your server

[mortal junco]

yeah

this servers so fucking annoying bro

it has a startup command that i legit cant change

and i cant run the server

[cyan quail]

? what's the issue

[mortal junco]

if [[ -d .git ]]; then git pull; fi; if [[ ! -z ${PY_PACKAGES} ]]; then pip3 install -U --prefix .local ${PY_PACKAGES}; fi; if [[ -f /home/container/requirements.txt ]]; then pip3 install -U --prefix .local -r requirements.txt; fi; python3 /home/container/${STARTUP_FILE}

startup command that i cant change bruh

[cyan quail]

so is it erroring?

[mortal junco]

yeah same error

i cant install pycord

[cyan quail]

have you perhaps tried

[mortal junco]

i cant change it

wait

[fervent cradle]

1.0 is 100% volume, scale from there

[cyan quail]

are you setting guild_ids?

[limber urchin]

According to the docs, 1.0 is 100% So setting 10.0 would be 1000% of the volume

[mortal junco]

in my config file it does

i might need to on the hosting aswell

[cyan quail]

do you have the applications.commands scope for your bot in the listed servers?

[mortal junco]

yeah

[cyan quail]

hm

[fervent cradle]

oh so for 90% then 0.9

[cyan quail]

your issue is in get_guild_commands which indicates your bot isn't in one of the servers

immeditaly after hitting start

thats what happens

ill kick it and reinvite it

quite literally, "Missing Access" - triple check all your guild ids

or if you want you can remove them to register to all guilds

[mortal junco]

these two righttt

[cyan quail]

yes, it has to be invited with them

note you don't have to kick

you can just use the url again

same issue

[cyan quail]

how many guild ids do you have

[mortal junco]

One

[cyan quail]

are you sure it's the right token?

[mortal junco]

100%

[cyan quail]

and the guild id is an integer right

[mortal junco]

Yes

[cyan quail]

what if you remove the guild_ids parameter completely

[mortal junco]

i fixed it

An error that happens when running /stock, but dont do it when im hosting on my pc

[cyan quail]

how did you define the embed

and all its fields

your first field has value=None some way or another, perhaps you forgot to check a variable

[mortal junco]

async def stock(ctx):
    services = ["Ranked", "Skinned"]
    stocklist = []
    for service in services:
        if os.path.exists(f"accounts/{service.lower()}.txt"):
            stocklist.append(f"{service} stock: {len(open(f'accounts/{service}.txt', 'r').readlines())} accounts")
    embed = discord.Embed(title="LightStore Stock", description="Display's stock of all services", color=0x46a9f0)
    embed.add_field(name="Account Stocks", value="\n".join(stocklist))
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed)```

the \n is purposeful

[cyan quail]

so assentially, your stocklist list is empty because those paths are wrong

[mortal junco]

its empty on purpose

it never has beenb filled

[cyan quail]

then that's always gonna error

[mortal junco]

why does it not error on windows

[cyan quail]

because it was filled

remember that paths in linux are case sensitive

[mortal junco]

what are u talking abt im so confused

this has nothing to do with a path?>?

[cyan quail]

what did the embed visually look like on windows

when you sent it

[cyan quail]

so obviously it had values in it

[mortal junco]

thats account stock

[cyan quail]

yes

[mortal junco]

not stocklists

stlocklist has been empty ever since i coded it

[cyan quail]

my guy

read your code

    embed.add_field(name="Account Stocks", value="\n".join(stocklist))```

[mortal junco]

yes????

[peak chasm]

Is there a way to put spaces in the embeds?

[cyan quail]

your "Account Stocks" field uses stocklist

[mortal junco]

async def stock(ctx):
    services = ["Ranked", "Skinned"]
    stocklist = []
    for service in services:
        if os.path.exists(f"accounts/{service.lower()}.txt"):
            stocklist.append(f"{service} stock: {len(open(f'accounts/{service}.txt', 'r').readlines())} accounts")
    embed = discord.Embed(title="RadiantStore Stock", description="Display's stock of all services", color=0x46a9f0)
    embed.add_field(name="Account Stocks", value="\n".join(stocklist))
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed)```

[limber urchin]

What kind of spaces?

[mortal junco]

this is windows host code

[cyan quail]

the for loop above it fills it

            stocklist.append(f"{service} stock: {len(open(f'accounts/{service}.txt', 'r').readlines())} accounts")

the reason this doesn't work on linux is because of this ```py
if os.path.exists(f"accounts/{service.lower()}.txt"):

your text files start with a capital letter, but you're using .lower()

[fervent cradle]

so now he set only lower

[mortal junco]

no they dont

[cyan quail]

but they do....

[mortal junco]

wait

[limber urchin]

Because 90% is lower than 100%

[mortal junco]

NEVERMIND ILL SHUT UP

[cyan quail]

your own code py accounts_rankedPath = /home/container/accounts/Ranked.txt accounts_skinnedPath = /home/container/accounts/Skinned.txt

[mortal junco]

yes yes yes

ik im slow

[peak chasm]

the normal ones because I have something like that
"status | code | plan
pepe | cash | sugar"
but the embed deletes the spaces

[cyan quail]

look i don't mind helping you but it's rather worrying that i know your code more than you do

[mortal junco]

wheres the ()lower at?

[fervent cradle]

Yes, but after I set it to 80%, for example, it no longer sets to 100%.

[cyan quail]

in the os.path.exists

you can ctrl+f that to find

[mortal junco]

yeah i tried for some reason it didnt find it

And on linux i change it to Lower right

[cyan quail]

no, it should be removed

[limber urchin]

Try using any of these
https://qwerty.dev/whitespace/

[cyan quail]

on linux the file names should match the case

[mortal junco]

just completely delete that line>?

[cyan quail]

no, remove the .lower()

because you don't want to convert it

[mortal junco]

oh okay how do u know all this abt linux?

[cyan quail]

i mean most bots are hosted on linux

[fervent cradle]

is that correct?
(Comes later still in a function is rough for now )

[cyan quail]

if you develop for a while, even if you don't use the os you pick up some stuff

[mortal junco]

Your a lifesaver

Thank youuuuu ❤️ s

[cyan quail]

havefun

and uhh learn python and read the docs
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/index.html
also pycord guide woooo
https://guide.pycord.dev/introduction

do feel free to return for help, but also giving your own go at problems and figuring out solutions yourself will improve you in the long run

[mortal junco]

thank yo

@cyan quail one second if you dont mind

do i fr have to keep this page open

24/7 ?

[cyan quail]

the server page? no lol

it's a host for a reason

[mortal junco]

lmao i was confused

[cyan quail]

but you should check the console for any errors

[mortal junco]

okay,

[cyan quail]

i recommend keeping it bookmarked or as a shortcut

[tender seal]

help

[cyan quail]

hover over it with your mouse

[tender seal]

this is the error

'str' has no attribute 'id'

[cyan quail]

your error looks like it's coming from somewhere else

[tender seal]

hm

[cyan quail]

can you post the full traceback?

oh wait im blind

add_roles takes a discord.Role object

[tender seal]

o

[cyan quail]

if you have a role id, you can use ctx.guild.get_role

[tender seal]

how would I add a role to a user then

[cyan quail]

if you want to use the name, you should use discord.utils.get
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/utils.html#discord.utils.get

[tender seal]

I'm using discord.bot

does get_role grant a user a role?

(member)

[cyan quail]

get_role gets the Role object

then you can use it in add_roles

[tender seal]

oh

ok thanks, I'll try that

this?

[cyan quail]

yeah that works

[tender seal]

k

[cyan quail]

though

note you have to respond to slash commands

[proud mason]

I recently learned you can use discord.Object(id) instead of role cuz add_role only uses the id anyways

[cyan quail]

true

[tender seal]

is the bot missing perms?

[cyan quail]

your bot can't add the role

[proud mason]

Yea

[tender seal]

alr

[lost lodge]

How can i filter the member update event to only the role update

[cyan quail]

compare before.roles and after.roles

[fervent cradle]

anyone have an example for an chat clear bot in cogs

[cyan quail]

i mean

not an entire bot, you only really need purge

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.purge

[fervent cradle]

kk ty

[lost lodge]

how can i get the new nick of the user?

after.nick ?

[cyan quail]

well, yeah

the same goes for every attribute

[lost lodge]

...

but now the users name is like...

[limber urchin]

The attribute isn't literally called "nick"

look up the docs and you'll see all available attributes of the event parameters

[cyan quail]

no it is

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Member.nick

[limber urchin]

Oh really? Wow

[cyan quail]

i'd say it probably should be called nickname but the official api also uses nick

[lost lodge]

with nickname it don't works

[limber urchin]

Interesting, I would have assumed it would be nickname

[cyan quail]

yeah it doesn't exist

[limber urchin]

The nick parameter can be None if the member doesn't have a nickname

[lost lodge]

but the user have a nickname

ah now it works

don't know why

[exotic holly]

My inputs were 4 and 4.4, although the type is an int, the float is getting accepted and converted to an int by removing the decimal point. Any solutions?

[limber urchin]

You're type hinting amount to int, which means it's going to convert the parameter to int

You could make it accept float and do your own check inside of the command

[exotic holly]

my inputs were 3 and 3.3, same problem now with float

[peak chasm]

how to put emoji?

[full basin]

Author, footers and field names don't render markdown or emotes.

[peak chasm]

:'v

I didn't say anything it was emoji="id"

[exotic holly]

@limber urchin what to do now?

[limber urchin]

Not sure, using float as input works fine for me

[peak chasm]

Is it possible to leave value blank?

[full basin]

Try it and see

[limber urchin]

Pretty sure you can't, you'd have to use some sort of whitespace/zero-width character

[raw gust]

Jup zero width character

[limber urchin]

You could add a handler for it in your on_application_command_error

[woeful spindle]

is there no way I can just ignore the mod_only error?

since I may use other checks and I want the errors for those

[woeful spindle]

no?

there is on_message

if your intention is to count a user’s message, that’s the event you’d use

[limber urchin]

https://docs.pycord.dev

[young bone]

you have to do it on your own

[woeful spindle]

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

[young bone]

if you google it you will find something

For Threads yes

[limber urchin]

Then use the on_message event and increment a number on each event received

[harsh canyon]

how would i go about saving audio from start_recording to a mp3 file?

.wav

doesnt really matter

whatever

messed around trying to save it using wave but im out of my depth and dk what im doing

[twilit valley]

I'm having some issues with embeds being edited

    async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
        await interaction.edit_original_response(content=None, embed=self.crh_info_embed_maker(select.values[0]))

returns a 404 error. However,

    async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
        await interaction.message.edit(content=None, embed=self.crh_info_embed_maker(select.values[0]))

does actually edit the message and replace it with the correct embed. The problem is that it returns a "embed failed" error... and I have no idea how to get rid of it

[fervent cradle]

Is there an event like "on_respond" or something that only triggers if people respond to a message of the bot? (on_interaction also calls whenever a message is written anywhere which seems quite inefficient)

[fervent cradle]

Can you show the error message?

[kindred moon]

Quick Q; can one have a clickable hyperlink in an Embed-footer?

[fervent cradle]

Is there a way to reload a slash command? I've tried bot.reload_extension(cog.x), but the parameter discord.Option(choices=list) does not update, only a bot restart seems to reload the parameter.

[full basin]

No

[kindred moon]

Thanks

[lost cypress]

is there a way of getting the value of a modal without inheriting?

nvm i wasnt thinking

[wanton wedge]

i cant seem to figure out how to make my bot wish someone automatically on their birthday can anyone help me?

[limber urchin]

Try interaction.edit_original_response. Remove the .message part

[limber urchin]

Store the users' birthdays in a database table with a date and their ID, and set up a background task that runs every 24 hours. Make the task fetch all users from the table where the date is today's date. Then just DM them one by one.

[foggy mortar]

anyone can answer this?

[foggy mortar]

u have to use the communication disabled until thing

[meager heron]

You want on_interaction(), not on_application_command()

[foggy mortar]

but what can i do it?

[meager heron]

Check the documentation. It explains

[foggy mortar]

but i cant find one that is what i want to do

wait if you do return in a event will it stop the command running?

[silver moat]

yes

[foggy mortar]

oh

[silver moat]

at least for app. commands

[foggy mortar]

async def on_interaction(self,ctx:discord.Interaction): is not called when i run a slash command

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_interaction(self,ctx:discord.Interaction):

[cobalt tangle]

defer it

[twilit valley]

had to change back to message.edit but it works 👍

ty!

[cobalt tangle]

oki

[limber urchin]

Use on_application_command

[prime steppe]

how do I get the guild id from the slash command

(like when someone sends it I need to find which guild it was send it)

[limber urchin]

ctx.guild.id

[foggy mortar]

😂

[foggy mortar]

ok

[foggy mortar]

its not called either

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_application_command(self,ctx:discord.ApplicationContext):

[limber urchin]

Is there a reason you're defining it in a cog?

[foggy mortar]

cuz im writing a cog 🤷‍♂️

[young bone]

for what do you need that?

[limber urchin]

just define the event listener in your main file once, there's no reason to have that event in a cog

[foggy mortar]

ok

[fervent cradle]

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction im confused how i got this error

[limber urchin]

hard to say without seeing the code that caused the error

[fervent cradle]

sure

@bot.slash_command(description="Get the account id of a epic games username!")
@option("display", str ,description='Epic Games display name')
async def gay(ctx, display):
    await ctx.respond(f"{lp(display)}")```

need the function code too?

[foggy mortar]

or maybe you clicked a button that is generated before the bot restart and you pressed that button after the bot restart

[fervent cradle]

theres no buttons

[limber urchin]

What is lp?

[fervent cradle]

a function

def lp(display):
    x = requests.get("https://account-public-service-prod.ol.epicgames.com/account/api/public/account/displayName/"+str(display), headers=token).json()
    if "links" in x:

[limber urchin]

Alright, first of all don't use the requests library for Discord bots

and you probably need to do a ctx.defer before running the function because it takes too long

[fervent cradle]

[limber urchin]

?tag requests

[obtuse junco]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[amber shale]

thanks

[foggy mortar]

actually no cuz i need to use self

[amber shale]

i was making small bot using only requests

[fervent cradle]

never thought about it like that

[limber urchin]

It works, but as soon as more than one person wants to use your bot it's going to be incredibly slow

[fervent cradle]

works fine now, idk what was up with it

[amber shale]

yeah i will change it (just made first successful communication with discord 🙂 )

[fervent cradle]

oh

[limber urchin]

If your request takes more than 3 seconds, Discord is going to timeout the interaction and it won't be able to respond. Which is why you should usually defer before doing something that could take more than 3 seconds

[fervent cradle]

gotcha

ill see about switching to another lib and using defer

[foggy mortar]

^

can any of you answer that?

[fervent cradle]

im not too smart lol

[fervent cradle]

got any examples for defer?

[limber urchin]

Just run await ctx.defer() before doing your thing that might take some time

[fervent cradle]

gotcha

might just use httpx seems like the syntax is just like requests

[alpine helm]

how do you add emotes in embed titles

[young bone]

custome emojis?

[alpine helm]

yeah

[young bone]

<emoji name:emoji id>

[alpine helm]

doesn't work

emoji exists

When i send <:emote:id>

it shows up

but not in embed

[limber urchin]

Where in the embed are you trying to use the emoji?=

[alpine helm]

title

[limber urchin]

You can not use emojis in the title of an embed

other than unicode emojis

[alpine helm]

this is custom?

animated

Any Idea?

[limber urchin]

Isn't that just in the description, but in bold and underlined?

[round rivet]

You can use emojis in titles I though

[peak chasm]

How do I make it so that when I turn on the bot, it continues to recognize the classes "my View"

[glossy socket]

hey, im getting this weird error thats in the txt when i try to move my discord bot to my rdp. it works fine on my laptop

anyone know whats causing this? it seems to be something within the py-cord package

[young bone]

install the git version

you use python 3.11

[glossy socket]

huh im pretty sure i use python 3.10

[young bone]

no?

[glossy socket]

nvm

youre right

[young bone]

^^

[young bone]

the error message design is so different to the older versions

ahh yeah i see it, ive never tried 3.11 yet myself until now

I don't use bridge commands, but doesn't that require a special bot instance?

Assuming you have that, don't you want to do the bridge decorator?

[fervent cradle]

Im no longer having it bridge, just prefix alone (as bridge wouldnt work with empheral)

[meager heron]

Message commands can't do ephemeral, either

[fervent cradle]

Yeah so i've made it without empheral entierley

I am just struggling making it into a prefix command

[meager heron]

Are you still using discord.ext.bridge.Bot?

[fervent cradle]

I dont think i am

[meager heron]

Check?

[young bone]

ok?

[meager heron]

Because that might be your issue

[fervent cradle]

Where would i check? I am not using any imports involving bridge

[meager heron]

Where you're initializing your bot

[young bone]

do you know basic python?

[fervent cradle]

Sorry i checked, im not using it

[meager heron]

bot = discord.Bot(...)

or

bot = discord.ext.bridge.Bot(...)

[fervent cradle]

discord.Bot

[young bone]

that is for slash_commands/app_commands

[meager heron]

Use discord.ext.commands.Bot

[fervent cradle]

Works now, appreciated

[woeful spindle]

you can

[woeful spindle]

is your bot in the same server where the emoji is from?

[alpine helm]

thats a no

[woeful spindle]

that’s why :)

[alpine helm]

But I have this bot in my server but not that ezgif emote

[woeful spindle]

that’s because the bot is also in the server where the emoji is

as long as your bot is in x server which is where the emoji is, you can use the emojis

[alpine helm]

Thats a yes

Okay so let me explain

I have two servers, one is support server and the other is dev server. I want to have all the emojis I need in the dev server so that support server is not flooeded with trash emojis. So the dev server has <x:id> and the support server doens't. But when i use the embed in support server , it doesnt' appear in the title

[woeful spindle]

!doubleArrowRight

is your emoji in that format in your code?

[woeful spindle]

strange, does your bot have external emoji perms?

[alpine helm]

if i just paste that emote code then it appears in teh support server

[alpine helm]

It is admin

[woeful spindle]

I’m unsure then, sorry

[alpine helm]

its fien

[foggy mortar]

how can you stop a command running in an on_application_command event?

[meager heron]

You stop it in on_interaction

on_application_command happens after it runs

[foggy mortar]

how can i do that

[meager heron]

do your check
if check passes, run process_application_commands(interaction)
if not, pass

[foggy mortar]

ok

Ignoring exception in on_interaction
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise InteractionResponded(self._parent)
discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

this is it

[meager heron]

on_interaection

[foggy mortar]

yes cuz i had defined that in the decorator

[meager heron]

What decorator? Stack trace isn't really helpful here

[foggy mortar]

@discord.Cog.listener(name='on_interaction')

i tried commands.Cog.listener and its still the same

[meager heron]

But you need to check if an interaction has been responded to before interaction.response.send_message

And use followup.send if it has

[foggy mortar]

ok

but what if i want to response before the command

and stops the command from running

[foggy mortar]

i tried this

[meager heron]

Code?

[foggy mortar]

@discord.Cog.listener(name='on_interaction')
    async def on_interaection(self,ctx:discord.Interaction):
        print('e')
        if str(ctx.user.id) not in self.data:
            await ctx.response.send_message('you need to use /play command first')
            await self.bot.process_application_commands(ctx)

the e did print

[young bone]

why do you use name=""?

[meager heron]

Just give the function the correct name and get rid of the name bit, yeah?

If you don't want the command to run, process shouldn't be in that if block

Put it in an else

[young bone]

?

[foggy mortar]

classmethod listener(name=...)

[foggy mortar]

yes but i have multiple on_interactions

[limber urchin]

You shouldn't

Realistically you only need one of each event handler

[foggy mortar]

still same error

Ignoring exception in on_interaction
Traceback (most recent call last):

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[meager heron]

That's your problem, there. Check ctx.response.is_done()

And if true, use ctx.followup.send

But I think you are going to run into some serious problems with multiple on_interactions

You'll need the check in each one, because if only one refuses the command, the others will still pass it

[foggy mortar]

but i want to make it response before the normal command response

[meager heron]

It will still work

[foggy mortar]

but it does this

[meager heron]

if ctx.response.is_done():
    await ctx.followup.send(...)
else:
    await ctx.response.send_message(...)
await self.bot.process_application_commands(ctx)

[meager heron]

Because you have multiple on_interactions

They all get called

[foggy mortar]

i removed it

so i ran a command called /getid
and it sent the response of that command
then it send the response of the on_interaction event

[meager heron]

I've never run on_interaction in a cog. I'm not sure if it behaves differently than just using a bot listener

[foggy mortar]

i solved it by adding a method that takes in the ctx and run it in every command

[fervent cradle]

What would i have to do to have it like this?
so for eg
You send !ban instead of !ban (member)

Like i want it to send an embed saying wrong args, ect

But im unsure of what event would activate this, or error

[limber urchin]

You could default the parameter to None, and add a check in your command executor to make sure the parameter is not None, if it is, send an embed saying there are missing arguments

[fervent cradle]

so at the end here
async def _8ball(self,ctx,question):
would i add -> None

[limber urchin]

No, that is not how you add defaults to a parameter in Python

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/default-arguments-in-python/

[fervent cradle]

Thank you

[foggy mortar]

or you can do:```py
async def ban(self,ctx,*args):
try:
member = args[0]
except:
#do something

[fervent cradle]

Oh i understand that easier lol

[limber urchin]

You should never just use except, always add the type of error you want to catch

[foggy mortar]

i forgot what it called

is it ListIndexOutOfRange?

[fervent cradle]

and what error would that be?

[foggy mortar]

IndexError

got it

[loud holly]

use ctx.respond the library will handle it for you

[fervent cradle]

so would i just replace expect with IndexError

[limber urchin]

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html

I recommend you to read this

It's pretty basic python, which is expected to know when going into bot development

[fervent cradle]

Yeah.. i know lmao im just unsure of what error it is.

[limber urchin]

They told you, it's IndexError

[fervent cradle]

yup, thats all i asked for i just wanted to double check

thanks

[quick temple]

How can I set the cooldown for every command in a SlashCommandGroup? (without having a decorator for every command)

[foggy mortar]

is there even a way to set cooldown(?

[limber urchin]

Yes, with the commands.cooldown decorator

[meager heron]

on_interaction receives an Interaction, which does not have a respond method

[opaque glacier]

how do i set a custom color for an embed

[young bone]

color=""

[woeful spindle]

.docslink discord.Embed.color

[winter condor]

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

[opaque glacier]

thanks

[woeful spindle]

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

I don’t think the one sent by the bot works

[rare ice]

Having highlight in there doesn’t do anything

Wait

The docs don’t have an attribute color for embeds but you can use color

.jsk py

embed = discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.embed_background(), description="_ _")

yeah

[peak chasm]

How do I make it so that no one can use the commands from the priv with the bot?

[full basin]

guild_only decorator

[fervent cradle]

How can i use a default emoji with role.edit(icon=...)

Nevermind, figured it out

[loud holly]

is there a way to add channel_selects without a decorator aka with View (in class self)

self.add_item(
            discord.ui.Select.channel_types(
                placeholder=f"Select the {self.channel_type} Channel",
                min_values=1,
                max_values=1,
                channel_types=[ discord.ChannelType.text ]
            )
        )

this is my current one and it says property, I'm not sure if I'm doing in incorrectly

[full basin]

discord.ComponentType.channel_select

[cobalt tangle]

https://sourceb.in/9rVzNLTyAb

why does this happen

[young bone]

?

[cobalt tangle]

the pages arent changing

nvm fixed

indentation issue :(

[kindred moon]

Can the @slash_command-decorator from discord.commands be tuned to be checked at runtime instead of Class definition time? Or could someone outline the steps said decorator goes through to register an application command? Long story short: I wanna use a variable from self which can't be done because decorating happens before __init__.

[limber urchin]

Setting dynamic values in a decorator is generally pretty unusual, what's your usecase?

[kindred moon]

Wanting to register application commands to guilds based on a parsed argument; having various Discord servers for a dev, test and prod environment.

So wanting to dynamically fetch the guild_ids-list to parse into the decorator.

[limber urchin]

For prod you probably don't want to pass any guilds at all

[kindred moon]

How would that affect the decorator? Registers to all guilds it's present in?

[limber urchin]

Not passing any guilds means the command is registered globally, so yes, it would register to every guild

[kindred moon]

Interesting, thanks for that info. But then I'm still searching for a way to be able to limit the guilds it gets registered to dynamically.

[limber urchin]

I guess you could try doing something with global variables, not sure since I've never had to do it myself

[kindred moon]

That will be my last resort, yeah. Was hoping to steer clear of globals but if there's no other way it be like that sometimes.
