Quick question (again, hope this time it's really a quick one lmao), is default_member_permissions = discord.Permissions(administrator=True) supposed to make the command visible only by admins ?
Because a non-admin can see it and execute it

why is it "remove_roles" in plural if you only remove one?

worldly schooner
#

ask God

green hinge

#

It really doesnt make sense since you can only remove 1 role each (command) I think

Is there a way to add a emoji to a bot status?

#

like user status emojis

#

ok it's discord.ext.commands, but if the user doesn't have the permission it outputs an error on the console (not to the user, he just sees that the app doesn't respond)

green hinge

#

I'll just handle it inside the function via ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator it'll be easier

How do I enable application slash commands on other servers. I have application slash commands on one of my servers but the other two servers don’t show application slash commands. The bot has been active on the server for 15 hours.

green hinge
alpine kernel
#

Mmm i think application slash commands are on by default, are you sure the bot is connected to those servers? have you tried restarting discord or doing Ctrl+R?

#

enabling 'slash commands' in the dev portal permissions is to allow bots to USE slash commands i believe

#

Now for my question: Isn't there a way to hide application slash commands from showing up on the autocomplete if they dont meet checks? I thought I saw that in the documentation but cant find it now =T

what's wrong with just using ```py

why do you have a member event without member intents?

🤦

on_guild_member_remove that is not an event? I cannot see anything like that at the docs

Just try and see lol

young bone
#

^

ebon drift
#

I just now found this it has to be defined in the module, not the code it self

young bone
#

if you use "is_owner" it will be already an owner command...

silver moat
#

if you want to just keep it simple, then just hardcode your ID in.

ebon drift
#

Does it work under
bot = bridge.Bot(command_prefix='*', intents=intents, help_command=commands.DefaultHelpCommand(), owner_id=668445956001234944)

young bone
#

if you use commands.is_owner yes

ebon drift
#

Ok

young bone
ebon drift
#

I did but I think I read the wrong part

young bone
ebon drift

I think I miss looked at this part in the docs

Thinking I could change the is_owner part

py-cord is already doing that for you...

hey im getting 404 errors for 3 - 5 seconds of command send to reply sent time, is this just because the interaction times out?

cyan quail
#

defer

lime lichen
#

i should have specified, its a response, not a reply. i defer with all my commands first, sometimes my pc just lags

#

so it is the defer that is the initial response and therefore the source of the error

cyan quail
#

ah so it's taking you 3+ seconds to defer?

lime lichen
#

defer is the 6th line of code for every command

#

first others are for logging purposes, local only

#

they access an SQL database so i seriously doubt it takes so long to defer, thats why i think its just my pc lagging

cyan quail
#

just in case, could you make the defer first anyway?

lime lichen
#

but i just want to know if an interaction actually times out in 3 - 5 seconds

cyan quail
#

it does yes

#

which is why you have to defer in those first 3 seconds

lime lichen
cyan quail
#

can't do much else then, unless you're running blocking code/libraries elsewhere in the bot

lime lichen
#

darn alright, my pc has one of those plugin-recivers for wifi so ill try to figure something out for that

#

thanks for your help kind fellow

silver moat
#

is your SQL database in any chance non-async?

limber urchin
#

If you're hosting your database on your local machine, WiFi has nothing to do with that.

See the partial channel example 2 message above your message.
You would do paginator.send(bot.get_partial_messageable(id))

get_channel works too

Hi I have a question, does the persistent view works if I add buttons dynamically? (they're not defined using @ syntax)

#

If not, how can I make it work?

silver moat
graceful mason
#

Thanks

graceful mason
#

uh but it says I have to add it on on_ready: bot.add_view(MyView()) and I can't do that, because my view needs arguments passed to its constructor, what to do?

limber urchin
#

Pass the arguments to the constructor then

graceful mason
#

But I can't do that on bot initialization, they are arguments that have input from the player, when he uses the command

limber urchin
#

How are you going to have a persistent view if the view requires user input??

graceful mason
#

I am saving input in a database

#

Only need the buttons active

limber urchin
#

Then read it from the database?

graceful mason
#

oh well, technically

#

thanks

Gah. How can I work around "circular references"? I have a Cog that calls a View and want to split out my related View classes into another file.

So the Cog has

# commands/mycog.py
from views.MyView import TransactionConfirmationView

And I'm typehinting my referenced cog passed into the View constructor so it can access other parts of the bot

# views/MyView.py
from commands.mycog import MyCog

.... python does not like this. How should I structure my imports so that everything plays nice ?

proud mason
#

this is the standard way to avoid circular imports arising from type hinting

#

even py-cord does it in almost every file

# proud mason wdym?

I have a Custom_View with 2 buttons.
When I click one of these two buttons, both buttons should deactivate.
For this I wanted to edit the Respons and decide with the if query accordingly whether the buttons are enabled or disabled.

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

        if self.message_details[0]['votebuttoncheck'] == 'False':
            self.add_item(SpotUpvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=False))
        else:
           self.add_item(SpotUpvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=True))
        if self.message_details[0]['votebuttoncheck'] == 'False':
           self.add_item(SpotDownvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=False))
        else:
            self.add_item(SpotDownvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=True)) ```
#

So the two buttons and the Custom_View have been added to the Paginator:

new_view = SpotVoteButtonsView(self.bot, self.message_details)
paginator = Paginator(pages=pages, timeout=899 ,custom_view=new_view, author_check=False)```
#

Can I edit only the view of the 2 buttons or do I have to edit the whole respons with the whole paginator?

#

Count the number of members

ctx.guild.members```
#

Try and see

green hinge
# proud mason wdym?

Okay just edit the view from the buttons doesn't work so I have to edit the whole message with the paginator .
How can I write the paginator now in a subclass, so that I can call and create it in the callback function and edit it in the callback function via edit_original_response?

#

I have imagined a class like the buttons only for the Paginator

class Button(discord.ui.Button):```

#

more or less yeah

green hinge
# cyan quail more or less yeah

If I create the class like this, how can I put my paginator in there?

class PaginatorView(discord.ui.View):   
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__()```
cyan quail
#

wait no

#

don't inherit from View, inherit from Paginator

green hinge
# cyan quail wait no

How do I do it?

class Paginator():   
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__()

         #Code for Pages

        view = discord.ui.View(TestView(self.bot))
        paginator = Paginator(pages=pages, timeout=None, custom_view=view, author_check=False)


        await paginator.send(ctx)
cyan quail
#

no...

#

Paginator is already a view, so you inherit from Paginator instead of discord.ui.View

#

when you do that, self would be your paginator variable and you would put your arguments like pages, custom_view etc. into super().init__(...)

#

man...

#

think about it like this

# 
paginator = Paginator(pages=pages, timeout=None, custom_view=view, author_check=False)```would be the same as```py
class PaginatorView(discord.ui.View):   
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(pages=pages, timeout=None, custom_view=view, author_check=False)

paginator = PaginatorView()
#

but the 2nd example is incomplete; pages and view aren't actually defined yet

#

there are two ways to approach this:

  • define them inside __init__ using some functions to create them```py
    class PaginatorView(discord.ui.View):
    def init(self):
    pages = self.generate_pages()
    view = discord.ui.View(...)
    super().init(pages=pages, timeout=None, custom_view=view, author_check=False)

    def generate_pages(self):
    pages = [...]
    return pages

paginator = PaginatorView()

- add arguments to `__init__` and pass them in```py
class PaginatorView(discord.ui.View):   
    def __init__(self, pages, custom_view):
        super().__init__(pages=pages, timeout=None, custom_view=view, author_check=False)

hm I see, thanks

now I know how to replicate it (since the builtin doesn't work for me)

green hinge
# cyan quail there should be `paginator.edit`

If I try it this way then the embed from the paginator is still shown, the two extra buttons (vote buttons) are also edited and disabled but the buttons from the paginator itself to browse are still gone 🤔

await self.message_details[1]['spotdetails'].edit(view=SpotVoteButtonsView(self.bot, self.message_details))```
cyan quail
green hinge
# cyan quail what specifically are you trying to edit on the message

I have the Paginator. This has yes the 5 standard buttons to change page etc..
Below that I have 2 extra buttons that I add via the custom_view.
If I now press one of these two buttons I want the custom buttons to disable themselves.
So only the buttons have to be edited or updated.

cyan quail
#

and these buttons have callbacks?

#

hmmm

green hinge
# cyan quail and these buttons have callbacks?

Yes

class SpotUpvoteButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, message_details, disabled):

            label='Spot Upvote',
            style=discord.ButtonStyle.green,
            custom_id='spotupvote',
            disabled=disabled,
        )

This is the view of the buttons

    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, message_details):
        self.bot = bot
        self.message_details = message_details
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

        if self.message_details[0]['votebuttoncheck'] == 'False':
            self.add_item(SpotUpvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=False))
        else:
           self.add_item(SpotUpvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=True))
        if self.message_details[0]['votebuttoncheck'] == 'False':
           self.add_item(SpotDownvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=False))
        else:
            self.add_item(SpotDownvoteButton(self.bot, self.message_details, disabled=True)) ```
cyan quail
#

so the moment you use custom_view, the original view is more or less irrelevant because the items from custom_view are transferred to the Paginator

#

honestly

#

hmmmm

#

wait

#

ehhhhh

cyan quail
young bone
green hinge
cyan quail
#

idk if it'd work but give it a try

#

actually

green hinge
# young bone For what do you need the bot?

I create a paginator that should have 2 vote buttons. When I click on a vote button I want to vote the page of the paginator.
The buttons should be disabled after they have been pressed so that you can not vote 5x.

cyan quail
#

this is incredibly scuffed, but you could assign paginator inside SpotUpvoteButton and go through that

green hinge
cyan quail
#

well it just looks stupid

#

let's see

#

actually it isn't that bad

#

inside Paginator we have generate_view; first, we assign the attribute herepy async def generate_view(self): view = SpotVoteButtonsView(self.bot, self.message_details) view.paginator = self return view

#

now every Item, including Button, has a view attribute to access the parent view

#

so inside your button callback you can access self.view.paginator

#

so to disable, you would go self.view.paginator.custom_view.disable_all_items()

proud mason
#

This Fabian person has the most complicated View setups ive seen lmao

cyan quail
#

probably

#

idfk paginator is so cursed

worldly schooner
#

@cyan quail I'm a complete dumbass

cyan quail
#

nice

worldly schooner
#

I was getting the MESSAGE ID

cyan quail
#

LOL

worldly schooner
#

instead of the emoji

cyan quail
#

you can always get the full emoji <name:id> with a backslash \

worldly schooner
#

yeah I forgot about that and I was getting with right click in the emoji

cyan quail
#

rip

worldly schooner
green hinge
cyan quail
#

well i meant from the button callback

#

if you're doing it inside paginator then it's just self.custom_view.disable_all_items()

green hinge
#

If I use it like this in the button callback, the buttons are taken out completely and the paginator still works.

self.view.custom_view.disable_all_items()
        await self.view.update()```
cyan quail
#

man

#

this is so painful

green hinge
#

I think this is good, the important thing is that the buttons can no longer be pressed. Whether they are now gone or only disabled is not so important

worldly schooner
#

is there a way to set a eternal interaction button?

how long did you wait for?

dry gazelle

0.5 second

dry gazelle
#

I am still getting the unknown interaction on the interaction.response.defer() call because the traffic is so high

#

we get like probably 200 people clicking the button in the span of 2 seconds and probably 400-1000 over the first 20 seconds

#

and then getting rate limited agian trying to send follow up messages

#

I even tried to rate limit my own button by using a counter that increments when an interaction happens, then respond and say traffic high wait 10 seconds, but even the response message is getting blocked for some reason too

I don't get why the Cog was throwing the first error; it shouldn't need to care.

young bone
gleaming falcon
#

Because that was recommended to me to avoid circular references.

#

The View constructor accepts the Cog, and want to be able to autocomplete from within my view classes. But because the Cog references the View and the View references the Cog, python gets angry

gleaming falcon
#

My cog sends a View. I was hoping to have my View in a separate file
But as stated, my View accepts the Cog as a constructor argument so I can reference methods within (including the bot instance itself)

So the question is how to allow them to both reference each other for development purposes so that I can separate the view from the cog

gleaming falcon
#

Is this where you would use a string as the type? e.g.

def __init__(self, cog: "Gnosis"...)

Pretty much the full error. But typehinting it as a literal seems to have helped; no more circular import at runtime and the IDE knows what class it is 🎉

I am using a bunch of persistent components. Eventually there IDs will start overlapping. How do you all overcome this. Do you add a prefix like moderate? moderate_d9fdgns7

Can't you just use a custom id that is unique?

Although it usually not very favourable to not use gateway

those event are quite useful many times

unless you made a complicated system where you use gateway for events and http for interactions and somehow communicate between the two

That means your bot is trying to register commands in a guild it isn't in. So somewhere you have a guild id in a command that your bot is not in.

you dont really need a help cmd in slash cmds because you have descriptions on the cmds and options. even discord says you dont need a help cmd for slash

I'll have the same question, storing simple settings values (like booleans but also maybe my tokens (for now it's in a .env file)), I was thinking of using a file.ini, is making a db a better choice (little bit overkill for just few values no ?)

obtuse juncoBOT
#

Tag Credit: discord.py server
The only good way to restart your bot is to shut it down and have your process manager handle it. You can shutdown your bot by running Bot.close().

Do use:

  • run your bot in a process manager such as:
    • systemd
    • openrc (gentoo, devuan)
    • runit (void linux)
    • supervisord
    • upstart (old ubuntu)
    • docker
  • manually reboot it

Do not use:

  • a bash loop (it can eat your C-c by rapidly spawning python and if your bot fails it won't stop it from constantly failing)
  • subprocess.call (you will eat your memory up by not letting your old processes die)
  • os.exec*

you can even hide the slash commands

it isnt possible to use command_prefix AND slash commands then?

it is an even solution for what I want

ah this is about permissions, was looking for something like this:

#

yeah but might need a specific parameter, I could see your /example for example

silver moat
#

?tag ephemeral

obtuse juncoBOT
#

An 'ephemeral' message is one that's only visible to the person who invoked a command. If you ever got a command error with a blue background, this is an example of one.

To do this, set ephemeral=True when you first use an ApplicationContext. (This includes .defer()ing it; the choice of whether a message is ephemeral or not must be made up front. If you .respond() to a deferred message, setting the ephemeral flag at that time will have no effect.)

This is the equivalent of hidden=True if you're coming from interactions.py

flat reef
#

"setting the ephemeral flag at that time will have no effect"

#

I'll delete it after running the command

#

this way wont show the slash command used

#

but ty all for the help!

#

neverming I just realized that I was using .defer() and so it wouldn't work

#

just fixed it, ty!

flat reef
#

even after the bot is fully up, no response at all

limber urchin
#

If you want them to work after a restart you need to use persistent views

#

The bot isn't just magically going to remember every view created

errant craneBOT
#

Here's the persistent example.

flat reef
#

ah I was doing the timeout=None and thought it was enough

limber urchin
#

No, that will just remove the timeout of the view

vapid pumice

Can a message be edited multiple times in one interaction?

I attempted to use

message = await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)
await asyncio.sleep(1.5)
await interaction.message.edit(message.id, embed=new_embed)``` 

This didn't work because `message` returns NoneType
proud mason
#

also your method could work, but dont pass message.id to it

proud mason
flat reef
#

Is there a way to deselect the option after clicking at the Select menu (dropdown options)?

I've tried doing something like this at the callback:

select.row = None
select.refresh_state(interaction)
#

I've also seen this message:
#general message

#

idk if it is already implemented

vapid pumice
proud mason
proud mason
flat reef
#

ah I just searched for "deselect" on the server haahahah

proud mason
proud mason
vapid pumice
proud mason
#

btw message components right

vapid pumice
#

It's because I'm editing an ephemeral message in the original interaction response, so there is no ID to be traced I guess?

proud mason
#

you can delete an ephemeral message, so you should be able to edit it too

#

at least thats what i think

#

try interaction.delete_original_response and see if that works

Partial Objects

These can be used to make API calls when you have channel id and/or message id, and you don't want to rely on the cache to have their objects.

Methods which can be used on them are -

Example Usage:

    # Get Partial Message. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable.get_partial_message
    partial_message = partial_channel.get_partial_message(message_id)

Holy shit I have to change all kinds of stuff to migrate to 2.4 0-0

cyan quail
#

there shouldn't be that much? a lot of additions but i can't recall us removing anything major

vapid pumice
#

It looks like import options from discord changed alongside slash_commands too? I might need to go read up on the changelog or something to figure out how to adjust my code for this.

cyan quail
#

no..? it's been the same throughout v2

#

what's not working

vapid pumice
#

After updating, I get this

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\!coding\EtherGame\ethergame copy 4.py", line 7, in <module>
    from discord import option
ImportError: cannot import name 'option' from 'discord' (C:\Users\Drew\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\discord\__init__.py)
PS D:\!coding\EtherGame>
#

And if I remove that line I get even more wacky errors

cyan quail
#

works fine on my end... this seems more like an venv error

vapid pumice
#

hmmm

#

I mean, I upgraded with pip, this is de wei, right?

cyan quail
#

what did you install

vapid pumice
#

pip install --upgrade discord

cyan quail
#

.

#

uninstall that

and install py-cord with upgrade

depends on where you are hosting it, you can just export the json with json.dump with the same name of the file you are loading it from, but since I started using MongoDB this turned out deprecated to me, and I had trouble cuz I was using this method when hosting with a github repo, since the host loaded the info from github I would have to make a backup from the host and commit manually to github if I wanted to persist the information in the next execution

its complicated

you would need to start some sort of a buffer when you start recording, and write each users data to it as you receive it

#

ig smth like pydub can make this work

#

Discord does not send silent frames of audio. So the timings of people talking would be off.

#

Unless you fill them in yourself, by having a timer between frames and if it is over X amount of time add X amount of silence.

I want to add an image from my PC to my embed in Paginator instead of from a URL.
How can I pass the file of the page so that the image is displayed?

embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Informationen für {self.message_details[2]['spot']} ({self.message_details[2]['gewaesser']})", color=0x00ff00)
file = discord.File("./Fische/Rotauge.png",filename="Rotauge.png") embed.set_image(url='attachment://Rotauge.png')
for key, value in info.items():
                if key not in ['ID', 'GuildID', 'UserID']:
                    new_key = word_dict.get(key, key)
                    embed.add_field(name=new_key, value=value, inline=True)
            pages.append(embed)
        return pages```
Paginator call:
```py
paginator = await PaginatorDetailsView(self.bot, self.message_details)
        await paginator.respond(interaction, ephemeral=True)```

if you read the docs page i linked, Page can contain both embeds and files

green hinge
cyan quail
#

...eh those are confusing actually

#

literally just call it normally py from discord.ext.pages import Page page = Page(embeds=[discord.Embed(...)], files=[discord.File(...)])

#

and then pass a list of these Pages into Paginator instead of using embeds directly

mhm

Okay I have tested it and it works

this isn't working for me, the first one is working but the elifs aren't:

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content.lower()
  if "word" in msg:
    await message.reply("Hi")
  elif "anotherword" in msg:
    await message.reply("How's it going")
proud mason
#

i did once try to theorise how it could work but never came up with a concrete solution

#

you could do smth like create a dict of timestamp and packet and then try to do some magic on it

proud mason
woeful skiff
#

but also if i do it like this:

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content.lower()
  if "word" in msg:
    await message.reply("Hi")

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content.lower()
  if "anotherword" in msg:
    await message.reply("How's it going")

it's not working

proud mason
#

because if anotherword is part of msg, that means word is also part of msg, because word is part of anotherword. so "word" in msg would resolve to True, and will skip thee 2nd check

unless "word" and "anotherword" are replaced by some real words 💀

proud mason

can't i do it like that?

Do you guys know if there is any way to respond to a ctx without responding to it? (so that you don't have to send a message)

What's the point of not sending any message?

            if channel.category == model and channel.name == REMINDER_CHANNEL:```
#

is this a good way to check for the existence of a channel in a particular category?

But is there a way to delete a message, which was responded? When i tried to delete a message which was sent via msg = ctx.send i can delete it via msg.delete, but it doesn't work with a msg = ctx.respond message.

I have a view with select I'm trying to update the options dynamically, how do I reload the View?

#

The code that generates it is already getting the options when run but it happens only when the bot is run

#

(it is a persistent view)

#

Currently I dont need to that message to update, I dont have any problem at re-sending it, I just want it to reload

young bone
flat reef
#

How could I do that? The only moment that it is currently "generating" is when self.bot.add_view() run at on_ready()

young bone
#

edit it with a new view and select

#

and use append_option

flat reef
#

I'm doing something like this on the add_option command:
FactionsSelectView().children[0].options.append(SelectOption(**new_option))

new_option is a dict with label, description, value and emoji

#

When debugging seems correct but I might have missed something

How can I disable the Select menu after the selection?

The placeholder is always displayed and not the selected choice

I only disable the menu

await interaction.message.edit(view=self.view)```

You need to also edit the values

How do I have to do this?

        self.placeholder = self.values[0]
        await interaction.message.edit(view=self.view)```

            custom_id="faction_selector",
            options=[SelectOption(**x) for x in JsonData.read().get("options")],

        return select

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.clear_items()
        self.add_item(self.generate_options())

I created the view above trying to dynamically change buttons but I get this error when calling the command to show it:

Invalid Form Body

#

nvm figured it out

undone falcon
#

is their a way for me to wait for the result to arrive in asyncio in my pool ? _get_all_expired_recurrent_roles is a CPU bound method

#

I would want something like: asyncio.wait(result)

#

I dont want to use the method asyncio.to_thread, because it is specified in the docs that it is for IO bound methods not CPU bound methods

sick quest
#

is there a way to make it so Bot.close() closes with an error code? so like the process exits with error code 1 instead of 0

undone falcon

but I can't do that since I have to run await Bot.close() first which exits

undone falcon
#

yeah you could do a sys.exit(1) after bot.close()

like this

I dont know if it woudl really work, but it is work trying

but I can try that!

If I have a group of 5+ buttons, is it possible to disable certain ones based on the other buttons pressed?

#

Or would it be easier to disable all the buttons and just send a new view with the desired buttons available?

silver moat
silver moat
mild sigil
#

So with something like this:

#

I can do this if buttons are children or no?

bingocard.png
silver moat
#

given that you a button object, you can disable it with

#

.rtfm button.disable

winter condorBOT
mild sigil
#

probably a poorly formatted question. I have the buttons currently set up as children and they disable all others when pressed:

    async def second_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        get_user_id(interaction.user)
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None, content="You clicked the B2 button!")```

so, changing to something like:

```@discord.ui.button(label="B2", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, row=0)
    async def second_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        get_user_id(interaction.user)
        for child in self.children:
            if child.label == "B3":
                child.disabled = True
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None, content="You clicked the B2 button!")```
silver moat
mild sigil
#

I guess, am I on the right track? Been trying this for a few hours now and finally came here for a sanity check.

silver moat
# 
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None, content="You clicked the B2 button!")

I don't understand why you would want to remove the view

mild sigil
#

I only want them to be able to select two buttons max so I have that code to remove the view once that happens, though I haven't figured that part out yet... I'll play with that after I have the other bit working.

silver moat
#

You can create an instance variable named buttons_selected and increment it as you go.

mild sigil
#

sounds right. I'll have to test the logic more but this gives me a good jumping point for more testing and experimentation. Thanks Squid, I appreciate the help.

I remember someone telling me that shards can set their own independent status different from other shards and that's how bots get like "Status | Shard X", how do you do this in pycord?

if I just fetch_or_get() a guild, will the members inside be accurate and up to date to the current moment ? or do I also need to fetch_or_get all members of the guild

#

Try it and see?

undone falcon
#

well it will be up to date for a tests server for sure

#

I am more asking for a servers with like 100k members or more

#

Which I cannot manually verify

silver moat
#

get will get it from the cache and the cache is updated on every guild event you receive.

undone falcon
#

oooh I see, so if the cache is full, there will be members missing ?

silver moat
#

There is no limit to the guild cache iirc

undone falcon
#

oooh perfect, so the RAM is the limit 😅

cyan quail
#

yeah, the only significant cache limit is messages which is 1000 by default but can be adjusted

undone falcon
#

thanks you !

limber urchin
#

And you also obviously need the guild members intent

undone falcon
#

yesss 💯

silver moat
#

I don't think get_or_fetch_guild and get_or_fetch_role exists tho

limber urchin
#

And it wouldn't make sense to use get_or_fetch on every member of the server, because how would you have every member's ID?

undone falcon
silver moat
#

ic

cyan quail
#

fetch_role doesn't exist because there's no route for it

#

you have to fetch all roles in the guild and pick from there

undone falcon
cyan quail
#

but you can use utils.get_or_fetch(bot, "guild", id)

limber urchin
silver moat
cyan quail
#

hm?

silver moat
#

Also, we don't need 3 people here.

undone falcon
#

which is pretty dumb ahahaha

cyan quail
#

actually huh

#

yeah _fetch_role does just call fetch_roles

#

...maybe it should be public anyway

undone falcon
#

mhm maybe, but would not change much 😄

cyan quail
#

well it'd just force it to be documented

#

and then would be compatible with get_or_fetch

undone falcon
#

oooh smart ! but In the mean time I just did :

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
- MongoDB
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MariaDB
- Microsoft Access

obtuse juncoBOT
#

Any function that starts with get_ in Py-cord is retrieving the related object from your bots cache. If the object is not in the bots cache the get_ method will return None. Because of this behavior you should check if the get_x method is None and if it is use the fetch_x method.

Why Is Using fetch_ Without Using get_ First Bad?
The fetch_ method makes a call to the discord API. This API call is unneeded if you already have the information. It will also make your command take longer because it will have to send and than wait for a response from the discord API. It will also contribute to the discord APIs global rate limit of 50 requests per second.

What Is Cache?
The cache is a temporary storage inside your bot. It holds many objects from members to messages. When you restart your bot the cache will be empty. When the cache is full it will delete older objects to make space for the new objects.
