Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[grizzled sentinel]

And fixes a breaking bug

[fervent cradle]

seems to be fixed

[fervent cradle]

never mind, rate came back after 12 reactions
after that reacts once every 400 so messages (should be doing every 100)

i dont understand why it ratelimits and doesnt send reactions even though its like 1 reaction every 2 minutes

[zinc cloak]

How do I allow the user to select multiple roles within a command parameter?

[full basin]

You can't. That's a Discord limitation. Use role selects.

[zinc cloak]

Ok thanks!

[grizzled sentinel]

You could use a role select menu after the command is run (If that works for you)

[grizzled sentinel]

Do you have multiple bots running? Try to get logging to see how many times the reaction request is sent
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/logging.html

[zinc cloak]

Yea I'm probably going to do that

[marsh swan]

what is the difference between pycord and discord.py?

[full basin]

Pycord was a fork of dpy

And now they're different

[marsh swan]

Like, do they work differently?

[silver moat]

yes. Most notably, Pycord and discord.py have different application command systems.

[long zealot]

If I'm working with a command that displays a select menu and then resumes the command after the user has made their selection, what's the easiest way to resume the command after a selection has been made?

Currently i'm using await view.wait, which seems to just be waiting for it to time out

[silver moat]

self.stop()?

[long zealot]

But that can't be run in the command itself, right? Only in the callback?

Basically players create a treaty with a command, are presented with a select menu to select the people involved, and then the command resumes and adds the data to a JSON file

[silver moat]

self.stop() also triggers await view.wait()

[long zealot]

ohhh, I'm an idiot

thanks

[soft girder]

Good afternoon Yesterday I made endless buttons, but in the end nothing works.

As a result, all buttons are valid for 5 minutes, after which they do not work.

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[silver moat]

and you spelled timeout as timeoiut

[soft girder]

Ouuu FUCK

🤣

[soft girder]

Thank you very much 😁

[silver moat]

IDEs like Pycharm would mark that as a warning.

[soft girder]

😥 Still doesn't work...

[silver moat]

Please look at the example

[soft girder]

I think it can put 3600 in a timeout. Is it counted by seconds?

@silver moat

Buttons are disabled every 5 minutes

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons#persistent-views

Please read

[soft girder]

Ok

Will try

[soft girder]

 
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    bot.add_view(TlB()) # Registers a View for persistent listening

Now I wrote endless buttons and ran into a problem

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        self.add_view(TlB())

I need a similar function to work in COG

[proud mason]

self is the cog. self.bot will be the bot

add_view is a method on the bot and not the cog

[fervent cradle]

nope

[soft girder]

Ok

I made a 'self.bot' but now it gives me an error. And I don’t even know how to change it.

[soft girder]

class TlB(discord.ui.View):
    def _init_(self):
        super()._init_(timeout=None)
    

    @discord.ui.button( label...)...

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

    @commands.Cog.listener()
        async def on_ready(self):
            self.bot.add_view(TlB())

This is roughly what is happening now.

[proud mason]

looks right

whats the error?

[proud mason]

you need to set custom id on all the items in the view

[soft girder]

class TlB(discord.ui.View):
    def _init_(self):
        super()._init_(timeout=None)
    

    @discord.ui.button( label="Confirm participation",custom_id="button-1",emoji="✅",style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"You confirm participation.",ephemeral = True)
            

    @discord.ui.button( label="Admin button",custom_id="button-2",emoji="🔄",style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
    async def second_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

        guild = interaction.guild_id
        msg = interaction.message


        cursor.execute(f"SELECT rowid,* FROM vipteamlist WHERE server_id = {guild}")
        item2 = cursor.fetchmany(4)
        db.commit()
        b = ""
        i = 0
        for el in item2:
            i+=1
            b += f"**{i}**.:coin: __{el[1]}__ | {el[2]} | <@{el[3]}>\n"

        cursor.execute(f"SELECT rowid,* FROM teamlist WHERE server_id = {guild}")
        item = cursor.fetchmany(16)
        db.commit()

        a = ""
        f=4
        for el in item:
            f+=1
            if 4<f<17:
                a += f"**{f}**. __{el[1]}__ | {el[2]} | <@{el[3]}>\n"    
            if f>16:
                a += f"Reserve🔴**{f}**. __{el[1]}__  | {el[2]}  | <@{el[3]}>\n"
        embed2 = discord.Embed(title =f":scroll: TEAM LIST :scroll:",description=f"**🕐Time: 21:00 Moscow **\n \n{b}{a}", colour = discord.Colour.embed_background())
        embed2.set_footer( text =f'To confirm participation, click on ✅')
        await msg.edit(embed=embed2)

I think the problem is that I write the event after the class🤔

[proud mason]

that doesnt matter

[soft girder]

Then what doesn't he like?

[round rivet]

    def _init_(self):
        super()._init_(timeout=None)

[soft girder]

@proud mason What's wrong?

[round rivet]

you need double underscores here

not just one

[proud mason]

aah lmao

[soft girder]

ahahahaha

[young bone]

@soft girder do you have the Python one installed for Visual Studio?

[soft girder]

@young bone yes

[soft girder]

Is there any problem with it?

[ornate current]

hey i am using mongodb for my bot, should i make connections in every cog?

or is there any way to make connection in one place and access it in every cog

[limber urchin]

Realistically you should only need to make a connection when you actually need to access the database. Your best option is probably to set up a connection pool and use those connections on-demand. Unless you have something that is very frequently accessing the database, in that case having a persistent connection would be better.

[ornate current]

Uh ok

and i am having a problem here

TypeError: duplicate base class TimeoutError```

I am trying to use aioredis

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  bot.pool = await aioredis.create_redis_pool('redis://localhost')```

[limber urchin]

What are you using redis for?

[ornate current]

for storing stuff

[limber urchin]

You know that redis doesn't persist any data right? As soon as you restart your redis instance all data is going to be cleared.

[ornate current]

oh

wow nevermind

even a dictionary is better lol

[limber urchin]

Redis is a cache, not a database. It's literally the same as storing things in a variable.

[ornate current]

i am trying to avoid mongo db cuz its only 512 mb

[young bone]

what is redis?

[limber urchin]

So it's useless unless you have multiple applications needing to access the cache

[ornate current]

storage

[ornate current]

ye thanks for the help

[limber urchin]

Redis is an in-memory database / cache

It's mostly used when you need to cache things that are accessed by multiple applications

[ornate current]

my bot is going to store alot of data that is why i am trying to avoid mongodb... are their any other nosql alternatives?

[limber urchin]

Wdym only 512mb? It's as big as your storage space is?

[ornate current]

my bot is going to store alot of data tho

[limber urchin]

And?

[ornate current]

is it enough?

[limber urchin]

Wtf do you mean by Mongodb only being 512mb? That makes no sense

[ornate current]

wait a sec

[proud mason]

I believe they mean thier host only has 512 mb storage

That is enough for sqlite

[ornate current]

atlas's free plan is 512 mb

[limber urchin]

If your host only has 512mb then it doesn't matter what database you use? It's still going to b 512mb

[limber urchin]

Host your mongodb instance yourself, don't use atlas

[ornate current]

[proud mason]

Sqlite files are very small. You would need hundreds and thousands of lines to hit 10MBs ngl

[ornate current]

alr

[ornate current]

hmmmm so should i stick to sqlite?

[limber urchin]

the free atlas tier isn't even meant to store things, it's just a testing space to play around with

[ornate current]

its just that nosql is easier to manage

[limber urchin]

Use whatever you want

If you want to use mongo, use mongo

[proud mason]

Yea sqlite is pretty good and powerful. Asqlite library and WAL mode will help you achieve best performance out of it

[proud mason]

True that

[ornate current]

That's what I am asking keeping in mind there are 20,000 members and each of them is storing bunch of data.

Inventories, money, and others

[limber urchin]

Storage is cheap, use whatever database you prefer

it's not like you're going to have 1TB of data just because you're storing a few thousand members

you'll need literally millions of rows in your database tables before you need to worry about disk space

[ornate current]

i should use json then

[limber urchin]

no

[ornate current]

lmao

[proud mason]

||You can even estimate your db size to a very large extent||

One way for SQL- each datatype has a specified size. find the size of 1 row based on its columns. You can get the size for sqlite data types from google. Multiply this row size by the estimated number of rows. Do this for all the tables and add it

[proud mason]

Add some overheads to this and you will get a fairly accurate db size estimate

[limber urchin]

To put into perspective, I have a database table here with ~10k members. 8 columns with various types of data, and it's not even 1MB using Postgres

[ornate current]

oh alright

thx

i am gonna stick to aiosqlite

[proud mason]

In case you want to look into some additional features, asqlite (not aiosqlite) offers connection pools. This can offer slightly better async performance during high activity times

But aiosqlite is pretty good too

Just thought of letting you know

[ornate current]

@proud mason

py -m pip install asqlite
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement asqlite (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for asqlite```

• i found nothing on the web regarding asqlite

[proud mason]

https://github.com/Rapptz/asqlite
First link 💀

[proud mason]

What python version?

[ornate current]

3.11.0

[grizzled sentinel]

Wait, danny made that.

[turbid ginkgo]

I found a solution to edit slash command response on stackoverflow: ctx.edit("new content") but it returns an error:
TypeError: Interaction.edit_original_response() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
I didn't find any other solutions to this. How do I fix?

[proud mason]

Yea

[proud mason]

Google thought you made a typo

[proud mason]

Pass content="..."

[ornate current]

sorry if i ask alot of questions but

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  bot.db = await aiosqlite.connect()```
should i establish connection once or do it in each and every command

[proud mason]

As a kwarg

[somber pelican]

can I pass extra arguments to a Loop object?

[turbid ginkgo]

Ah, I forgot that edit uses the complete JSON table of the message. Thanks

[ornate current]

or do it like this

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  db = await aiosqlite.connect()
  #stuff here
  await db.close()

and what about closing the databse? should i worry about it

[proud mason]

If you are using aiosqlite then per-command should be better. Use async context manager

[grizzled sentinel]

How often is the command being run? I would say if it is greator than 5-10m per time it is run than you should close it otherwise you could keep it open.

[grizzled sentinel]

I dont think it makes sense to ever disconnect from the database all together.

[soft girder]

I think this will be a dumb question. But how to make a button that can be used by a person who has certain permissions .For example : administrators.

[grizzled sentinel]

There is not built in way in discord. In the callback you would have to check interaction.user.guild_permissions with the required permissions.

[soft girder]

Yea

[ornate current]

If you are using ephermeral then probably check if the user has permission if doesnt just disable it

[long zealot]

Anyone familiar with bot computing/data requirements? We’re running an online game on March 25th with 36 people on discord, with the bot performing a few key tasks, so will be processing a lot of commands. I currently have it running on a Heroku basic dyno with 512mb RAM. Should I move it to a VPS? It only needs to be used for a few hours so I don’t care about persistency but it will be heavily used

[limber urchin]

Look at Vultr, they charge per hour instead of per month. So if you only use your bot for a few hours it'll be very cheap.

And the hardware requirements depends a lot on what your bot is actually going to do. But if it really will be "heavily" used, then at least 2G RAM and 2vCPUs.

[silent meadow]

hey all, I want to make a sound dispatch command somewhat similar to Airhorn Solutions... This is what I made but I am having an error

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

Code:

@discord.slash_command(name='quack', description = 'Quack, Quack, Quack!')
    async def quack(self, ctx):
        vc = ctx.author.voice.channel
        if vc == None:
            ctx.respond("You must be connected to a voice channel!")
        else:
            vc.connect()
            vc.play(discord.File('duck-quacking-37392.mp3'))

where am I going wrong?

[meager heron]

Could give serverless a look. It’s very cheap for many uses. Just be sure to have good indices.

But also, 512MB will probably go further than you think

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/voice/playing

[silent meadow]

I tried the same thing

[silver moat]

.idw

[winter condor]

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

[turbid ginkgo]

How would i make a slash command option user selection only? I mean to get the parameter to list all members without a specific role?

[silver moat]

Use autocomplete and generate your own list

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[turbid ginkgo]

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to get the users of the currect guild that doesn't have a specific role.

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Role.members

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Guild.fetch_members or https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Guild.members

[turbid ginkgo]

What is connectionState?

Is that optional or required?

[limber urchin]

what?

[turbid ginkgo]

in discord.Role(guildId,ConnectionState, data)

I'm new to these things

[limber urchin]

Why do you want to create an instance of the Role class?

[turbid ginkgo]

So, I'm trying to make a slash command that has two required parameters, where the first one lists all members without a specific role. The second consists of 3 roles.

I somewhat understood the autocomplete feature

[limber urchin]

That doesn't answer why you're trying to manually initialize a new instance of the role class?

[turbid ginkgo]

I don't know how to do it?

[limber urchin]

I'm asking you why you're trying to do it in the first place

[turbid ginkgo]

Because I assumed I could use discord.Role.members

[limber urchin]

You can, but why do you need to manually create an instance?

[turbid ginkgo]

I wasn't sure know what that does. I'm new to pycord and python

[limber urchin]

Read rule 1 in #help-rules

[turbid ginkgo]

I assume I can't even ask for help to HELP me LEARN it

[silver moat]

?tag learnpython

[obtuse junco]

To be clear:

When we tell you to learn Python before asking questions here, it is not meant in a derogatory way, we are not calling your dumb or incompetent. We are simply stating the fact that usage of PyCord requires a fair bit of knowledge with using OOP, Async/Await etc. in Python. If you are not comfortable with these concepts, chances are you will not understand the answers given to you in this channel.

We understand that everyone learns at a different pace, and your current knowledge with Python may have been enough so far. When we say "you need to learn Python", it is most likely a sign that we have given you an explanation that you could not understand and there is no way for us continue to help you without spoonfeeding.

[limber urchin]

The point is that you won't understand the help we give you, meaning the only option we have is to just give you finished code, which we do not do here. You need to know the basics before making a bot.

We're here to help you with issues regarding pycord, not teach you basic Python concepts so that you'll understand our solutions.

[soft girder]

    @discord.ui.button( label="Admin button",custom_id="button-2",emoji=":arrows_counterclockwise:",style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
    async def second_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

        guild = interaction.guild_id
        msg = interaction.message
        
        interaction.user.guild_permissions(administrator)

Hello everyone. Now I wrote the code. You need to know how to organize the button so that only administrators can click on it.

[full basin]

Either implement a check on the callback or override interaction_check

[zinc cloak]

How do I do a persistent view, if the view has parameters that changes the custom_ids of the buttons?

    bot.add_view(reaction_roles.ReactionRoles.ReactionView([]))  # Just leaving an empty list doesn't make the view work

[tiny spire]

How do I set the status of my bot? I can't figure it out for some reason

    async def on_ready():
        await client.change_presence(status=Status.online, activity=Activity(type=ActivityType.custom, name=status))
        print(f"{client.user} is connected.")```
note that the status variable is just a string

[fervent cradle]

Does anyone have a recommended open-source bot made with pycord that I could review the code of to learn the library?

[silver moat]

you learn how to use pycord by reading the docs

[full basin]

Why does it change the custom_id's?

[full basin]

Bots don't support custom activities.

[zinc cloak]

Posted in #1084642192456417360 message

It's for reaction roles

But a select menu is a LOT easier

[maiden lake]

is there a common way people remove button's when a view times out? I have a sorta of solution but it has some weird kinks

[full basin]

Edit the message and pass view None?..

[maiden lake]

that's kinda what I'm doing but it only seems to work for the most recent message and also doesn't like it when it has attachments.

[full basin]

What and what

[maiden lake]

if you run 1 command that sends a message with buttons, then another before the first times out the first keeps the buttons.

[limber urchin]

All you need to do is override on_timeout of the view and edit the message with view=None.

It sounds like you're making it way more complicated than it has to be

[maiden lake]

I could have sworn I tried that, thought when I did it had a issue with self.message but it worked fine now so 🤷

this makes things so much easier

[hushed ledge]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[somber pelican]

in modals, if a non-required field is blank, what is the default value? None?

[young bone]

You could set "None" to be default

[somber pelican]

through?

i see this

i would prefer if it was None already tho

[grizzled sentinel]

Empty string I believe.

[somber pelican]

alright

is there a way to send a modal after sending a select menu?

interaction.followup has no option for sending a modal

[young bone]

send_modal()?

[somber pelican]

nop

[young bone]

use interaction.respond

[hushed ledge]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[somber pelican]

okay thank you

last question, im subclassing a MyView(View) inside of a Cog class, how do I access the Cog class's attrbutes?

[grizzled sentinel]

You can set the value of the select menu to none and than edit the message passing the view again.

[grizzled sentinel]

Its not recommended to subclass views within a cog. What attributes do you need?

[somber pelican]

ah alright, i'll move everything about then

[grizzled sentinel]

Just wondering what cog attributes do you need? Bot?

[hushed ledge]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[grizzled sentinel]

Send the modal first. Than edit the message with followup.edit()

[somber pelican]

oh no i need the attributes from the class that inherits Bot

but i separated everything

[hushed ledge]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[cerulean yacht]

i have two server (oracle vm) is there any way i can use both to host one bot?

[limber urchin]

Use both?

What does that even mean

[cerulean yacht]

i mean use computational power of both?

[limber urchin]

This is a support channel for pycord/python related issues. Your question has nothing to do with any of those

[cerulean yacht]

okay 👍

[proud mason]

try interaction.edit_original_response or interaction.message.edit
one of them should work

[thorny kindle]

Hi, How would i add muliple buttons too a command. Right now my command is:

class Rock(discord.ui.View): 
    @discord.ui.button(label="Rock!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="🧱") 
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You Chose Rock! I choose:")
class Paper(discord.ui.View): 
    @discord.ui.button(label="Paper!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="📰") 
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You Chose Paper! I choose:")
class Scissors(discord.ui.View): 
    @discord.ui.button(label="Scissors!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="✂") 
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You Chose Scissors! I choose:")  
        
@bot.slash_command()
async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Rock, Paper, scissors', view=Rock(), view=Paper(), view=Scissors())

When its just the rock alone, It works.

[soft girder]

@commands.guild_only()
@bot.slash_command(name='registration', description='Write down command data.',guild_ids=[944934277777326090,769823680695107594])
async def reg(ctx):

    cursor.execute(f"SELECT rowid,* FROM counter1 WHERE server_id = {ctx.guild.id}")
    item = cursor.fetchmany(16)
    db.commit()

    for el in item:
        nom=el[2]

    author= ctx.author

    if nom<12:
        if ctx.guild.id == 9-0:
            guild = bot.get_guild(9-0)
            role=guild.get_role(1-0)
            await author.add_roles(role,reason=None, atomic=True)
        if ctx.guild.id == 7-4:
            guild = bot.get_guild(7-4)
            role=guild.get_role(7-5)
            await author.add_roles(role,reason=None, atomic=True)

        cursor.execute(f"UPDATE counter1 SET count= count + 1 WHERE server_id = {ctx.guild.id}")
        db.commit()
    else:
        await ctx.respond("TEST")

[young bone]

ctx.respond and the buttons has the same callback

[thorny kindle]

They cant have the same callback?

[soft girder]

What a problem

[young bone]

no

[thorny kindle]

What else would i put for the callback then?

[young bone]

that is basic python?

[thorny kindle]

Im still learning python, right now i dont know much with it but im just trying to make random commands until they work. Now ive decided to attempt it with buttons.

Im trying to learn as i go a lont

along*

[young bone]

Read rule 1 #help-rules

[thorny kindle]

I know.

[soft girder]

I try all methods

[young bone]

We will not help if you dont even know the basic´s of Python

[thorny kindle]

Alright.

Any tips to learn though? Youtube has not helped me even a little bit. Ive learned most of my python by just doing it.

[young bone]

create small projects

a discord bot is not a good beginner project

[soft girder]

can you help?

[young bone]

what is nom?

[thorny kindle]

Mhm, True. Ive done a few small projects like calculators etc, I just like to challenge myself a littlebit lol.

[dry fulcrum]

small question: what could cause a repeating task to reset itself mid execution? I have a task set to repeat every 120 seconds, but for some reason it stops executing at a specific line, and start all over again

[young bone]

You already open a tread for that

[dry fulcrum]

i know, i meant as in what could be a potential cause, like as of right now, if there's no answer in the thread yet, then probably some pointer would be useful to see where thing went wrong

[soft girder]

I explain what I'm trying to do. I need 12 people who first wrote the team to get a role.

[young bone]

https://guide.pycord.dev/introduction

[thorny kindle]

So is it the button_callback i would need to change? Or would it be something in (self, button, interaction)?

[soft girder]

I tried all the ways. He constantly doesn’t like it ...

[young bone]

button cannot have the same callback name

[thorny kindle]

Oh ok, So if i do buttonrock_callback etc that would work?

[young bone]

ye

[thorny kindle]

Alr

[young bone]

I still dont really know what nom is

[thorny kindle]

💀 Still saying theres a problem with this line:

    await ctx.respond('Rock, Paper, scissors', view=Rock(), view=Paper(), view=Scissors())

[soft girder]

@young bone watch here

[young bone]

create a view and add the buttons

[thorny kindle]

Oh, Just 1 view then?

[dry fulcrum]

uhhh

that's.. setting 1 thing.. to 3 different thing

I'm trying to get where his logic was at

[young bone]

so nom is a number?

[soft girder]

Mmm.. Yes...

[young bone]

if its a number it should work

@proud mason I see you

[soft girder]

But it's didn't WORK 😦

[proud mason]

for el in item:
nom=el[2]
what are you trying to do?

you are just reassigning a variable

[soft girder]

I have tried all the ways

[proud mason]

?tag xy

[obtuse junco]

An XY problem is when you're trying to ask about your attempted solution, rather than your actual problem.

You are trying to solve problem X, using solution Y. Instead of asking for help with X, you ask about Y. This only results in frustration as whoever is trying to help you needs to ask several questions before even beginning to help you with your actual issue, wasting both their own, and your time. Always include as much information as you can about your problem, including attempted solutions. If there are solutions you've ruled out, include them along with an explanation as to why you've ruled them out.

[soft girder]

This is the dumbest

[proud mason]

see this

what is your goal?

[soft girder]

Look. I am making a command for registration. For the first 12 people, a role should be issued. And for the rest, it should be written "You in reserve"...

I tried all the ways, but it does not give me an opportunity.

[soft girder]

Every time he writes...

[proud mason]

alr

so

what i would do is, set nom to the length of item

because that would represent the number of people in the db

[proud mason]

you can do this using len(item)

[soft girder]

This f.... CODE didn't WORK

!!!!

How to make it so that only the admin can click the second button?

interaction.user.guild_permissions maybe

but i don't know ?how to use this right

Can teach me pls 🙂

[ornate current]

Hey, i think pillow library won't be good with discord.py

so is there any asynchronous library for it

[proud mason]

thats right

for some reason, the docs dont mention the return type...

anyways

check if perms.administrator is True

where perms is that above thing

[proud mason]

not that i remember. you can always call sync functions using asyncio.to_thread and they wont block the event loop

[ornate current]

hmm alr

i just found one named aioEasyPillow

gonna test it out

[proud mason]

||there is a low probability that is is as frequently maintained. and a high probability that it just uses asyncio.to_thread. not sure tho||

[soft girder]

[proud mason]

any errors?

whats wrong with it

[soft girder]

Extension 'cogs.NS' raised an error: SyntaxError: cannot assign to attribute here. Maybe you meant '==' instead of '='? (NS.py, line 34)

[young bone]

which line is that?

you use ==

[grizzled sentinel]

The role might not be in cache.

[leaden relic]

hmmm let me try without the permission for the role

[leaden relic]

yep it worked without it hahaha

thanks

[grizzled sentinel]

So you will need to check if the role is none than fetch it instead 👍

[leaden relic]

ohhh thanks

[fervent cradle]

What is a difference between discord.Bot and discord.Client?

[proud mason]

?tag client

[obtuse junco]

discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)

[proud mason]

(each class has all features of the class above it)

[soft girder]

How can I make the buttons have the same size?

@proud mason

[silver moat]

size is determined by label

[soft girder]

Oh ... 😦

[white scarab]

Is there any way to control any Uncaught exception?
I would like to be able to do something before the bot crashes.

[silver moat]

depends on where the exceptions are made.
If they are made
in application commands, on_application_command_error
in text-based commands, on_command_error
in events, on_error
in a task, @task_name.error

[white scarab]

Ok!
Thank you.

[leaden relic]

is there an easy a way to make all views persistent?

maybe by using custom_id

[grizzled sentinel]

Not exactly sure what you mean. Persistent views are just views with no timeout and all items have a custom_id

[leaden relic]

i mean watching all the views you create and making sure they are all persistent is hard

ex is the ticket bot
each close button ticket needs their own persistence

[uncut current]

it doesn't need to have a different persistent id for each button

[leaden relic]

i mean yeah but the thing i am having a hard time understanding is does custom_id need to be unique for every instance you call the view or can be in the code only?

[grizzled sentinel]

It depends on what info you would need. I gtg now be back later

[leaden relic]

well the thing is, sometimes i try to pass some arguments to views so i can reuse the values from one to another causing problems when doing bot.add_view() since they ask for those params unless i make the optional

[leaden relic]

sure thanks

[uncut current]

best idea I got right now is saving the loaction of the view (msg.id) and the data in a SQLite db or any similar db

[leaden relic]

yeah that's what i think too but i want to know if there's a way to do it without using a database

[grizzled sentinel]

I think a db is the best way.
But if the arguments you pass to the button are under 100 characters you can have
close_button:10-6-hello

[thorny kindle]

How would i cancel a command after a set of time? Just using this?:

import time

-discord command bla bla bla-
time.sleep(10)
return
```?

[full basin]

youll need to explain more than "cancel a command after a set time"

what does the user need to do for it not to cancel

how does the command work

and no, you dont use the time lib in async enviroments

[thorny kindle]

So i have a rock paper scissors button thing, But it works all the time until bot resets. How would i cancel that time after like 10 seconds?

[full basin]

give it the view a timeout?..

[thorny kindle]

?

[full basin]

if you have buttons, you have a view, if you have a view you can give it a timeout and disable the buttons on timeout

[thorny kindle]

Oh ok.

@bot.slash_command()
async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.respond('Rock, Paper, scissors', view=RPS(timeout=10))

So like that then?

[full basin]

try it and see

[thorny kindle]

Nah, didnt work

Ok, i think i got it now. Changed it to the parent class with the timeout=10

Epic. Works 👍

[alpine kernel]

I have a printer function that displays a refreshing 'dashboard' that has quite a few calls to a local db to pull data. Some consequences of this are that when attempting to stop the bot (using keyboard interrupt) it seems to have to wait for the printer function to 'finish' as it takes a good 15-30s to stop the bot.

wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if this is expected using loop tasks

nevermind, had the brilliant idea of turning logging from info to debug, looks like i'm making a lot of suspicious calls somewhere >_>

[elfin escarp]

Why would a button work in one server but not work in another server? Well, more specifically it works but doesn't send the response and rather gets the Unknown Interaction error?

Nvm on that ^ just needed to defer the response while bot queried the google sheet

[alpine kernel]

how is a bot's guild member cache determined (without members intent)? just people who have interacted with the bot? or does the bot get an initial package of 'active' members?

I'm trying to reduce my fetches of members, and opting to use get instead of members intent, but wondering if that's going to cause a lot of misses on cache and confusion on the users when they see "missed cache" heh

[limber urchin]

Why not just get from the cache and if that returns None, use fetch?

[alpine kernel]

that's pretty true, I was just hoping to pre-fetch I guess, or rather try not to bombard the api with 50 some requests at one time, but even that I could limit in other ways

I get pretty stubborn when I choose a course of action heh but you're right

[limber urchin]

Well if you have a specific use case you can always just work on caching the members yourself in some way

[alpine kernel]

nah i'm just being lazy and dumb and expecting there to be an api to solve my problem instead of changing a database query to limit the number of returns, I really only need <20 get/fetches but right now my database is returning everying and i'm sorting and querying everything -.-

[round rivet]

what are you using this for

@alpine kernel

[alpine kernel]

basically a timekeeping system that refreshes once a minute and shows leaderboard for who's highest

[round rivet]

public bot?

100 servers

it might be worth it to get members intents

[alpine kernel]

nah private, 1 server, 1 test. I think discord would hire hitmen on me if it was public heh

[round rivet]

yeah just turn on members

[alpine kernel]

aight, I'll think about it, just wanted to try out 'best practices' heh

[round rivet]

best practice is turn it on if you need it

[alpine kernel]

but if it was a >100 server bot, would you suggest not turning it on?

[round rivet]

depends on how the leaderboard works

i'd probably still say yes

[alpine kernel]

ok thanks heh

ok, kinda hard determining new discord features/systems if the intent of it is to move away from it or not, like application commands, i imagine discord's idea is to transition fully to that in the future, but cant be sure

guess I could read all the blogs

[silver moat]

https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/6177533521047-What-is-considered-an-acceptable-use-case-for-Privileged-Intents-

yeah that doc makes sense, it's something (somewhat) in the back of my head and want to do a good job, but this is just a small fun project for me all the same

all the same I got some paths forward, thanks!

Is there a way to make a select menu reselectable? As in, the same values can be inputted if the menu is selected again?

Nvm, that's probably a discord limitation

[hybrid flower]

hi all, I use slash_command load some cogs, but the commands in cogs are not sync to my server, do I need to do something additional? I've restarted discord app.

py-cord==2.4.0

[young bone]

You can find something at the docs to sync a command

[dry fulcrum]

quick question, how do i embed a video (mainly youtube video) into a embed?

do i just add_image() it on?

[young bone]

yes

[dry fulcrum]

that didn't quite work..

i just ends up with this

[young bone]

is it an image/gif?

[dry fulcrum]

No, it's a youtube video

[young bone]

that will not work

[dry fulcrum]

Then.. why did you answer yes?

and well, how can i do that?

Or is it just not possible yet

[young bone]

url=imageurl

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

[proud mason]

Can't. Discord only allows you to embed images

You could send a video link in the msg content part of the message

And discord will embed it in a standard way for you

[dry fulcrum]

got it then..

[cerulean yacht]

how can i send a paginator using select menu?

[young bone]

the same like a message or button message?

[cerulean yacht]

paginator.send need message invocation context

[dry fulcrum]

Question: what's the biggest file size a bot can send?

8MB like normal user or a higher limit?

[cerulean yacht]

i dont have that (have only interaction)

[full basin]

paginator.respond

[cerulean yacht]

👍

[dry fulcrum]

also, extending on the questino. what about when the server is boosted? Do bots get the extra benefit like increased upload size?

[young bone]

no

they have the limits like a normal user

[dry fulcrum]

but when the server is boosted, when users get the higher upload limit (50MB/100MB), do bots in the same server get the same benefit too?

when they send message in the server, of course

[proud mason]

yes i believe

[gleaming falcon]

I feel like there's a way to pop a modal based on a dropdown selection, but didn't see any examples anywhere. Am I correct that this is possible?

[proud mason]

Pop a modal?? 💀

What does that even mean

If you mean send a modal, then yes you can

You can do it just like you would do with a button

[gleaming falcon]

...? Display the text input modal when selecting a particular value from a dropdown, similar to "popping one" from a button press

[proud mason]

Mhm ofc

Same as with buttons interaction.response.send_modal

[gleaming falcon]

Cool. Would I have to evaluate the Option value in the Dropdown callback?

[proud mason]

[gleaming falcon]

Okay, use case for clarity:

Five options in the dropdown; four presets and a fifth one that when you select it, displays a modal for custom input
So would the fifth one just need some value that is used in the callback to then display the Modal?

[proud mason]

Mhm

Yea would need to check if the option selected is the custom one

[gleaming falcon]

Cool, thanks. That helps me select a rabbit hole to go down.

[proud mason]

[wintry wasp]

I have a webserver listening for requests and I want to somehow couple it with a discord bot. Is there a way to invoke a method declared in a cog just by passing around the bot instance to the webserver? (similar to ctx.invoke but starting from a "higher level"). I know this is a weird question but bear with me.

[proud mason]

Look into IPC

There is a library called better-ipc on GitHub

It works with pycord the last time i checked

[wintry wasp]

Thanks! I'll do that.

[soft girder]

@proud mason to the SelectMenu module can be changed presistent for permanent functioning as in buttons?

[ocean pumice]

What's wrong in this? It's telling that the "option" keyword is not valid

 @bot.command()
async def select_menu(interaction):
    the_options = [
        discord.SelectOption(label="Option 1", value="1"),
        discord.SelectOption(label="Option 2", value="2"),
        discord.SelectOption(label="Option 3", value="3")
    ]
    await interaction.response.send_message(
        "Please select an option:",
        components=[
            discord.SelectMenu(options=the_options, placeholder="Select an option", max_values=1, min_values=1, id="my_select_menu")
        ]
    )```

Is there any alternative to cog_load? This is what I'm trying to achieve (this is discordpy code and I want to find a pycord equivalent)

try asyncio.create_task in there

[proud mason]

almost. except ready can fire multiple times. you would need to store if ready was fired before on a cog object attribute

error?

I expect it to choose me a random name from this rand_idents = statics.random_node_idents() function which returns a list of str

[blissful hazel]

Does the print statement show that list?

[uncut current]

yea it does

that is what confuses me too

ohh and btw it already chooses one name [ WARNING ] [14-03-23 21:44:23] [DragonLog] [DragonBot:75] : Node didn't respond: Lavalink 'ONION' didn't connect on http://127.0.0.1:2333

but after that it throws this error

even if I replace the function directly with the list it throws this error

btw I'm using python 3.11.1

I guess I found a workaround it's not nice, but it works i guess

    async def con_nodes(self):
        with open("lavalinks.json", "r") as f:
            data: dict = json.load(f)
        rand_idents = ['apple', ...]
        await self.wait_until_ready()
        for node, values in data.items():
            rand_num = random.randint(0, len(rand_idents))
            identifier = rand_idents[rand_num]
            rand_idents.pop(rand_num)
            identifier = identifier.upper()

[gleaming falcon]

If anyone knows offhand - when choosing to delete messages with a ban action, is bulk_message_delete called, or just message_delete for each?

(Answer: message_delete. However, my plan was to show the message that got someone banned, and there's no real way to correlate. Could prob report the last message, though)

[uncut current]

I'd say it's an internal function from discord https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#create-guild-ban
nothing that the libary does for you except passing your value to the api

[turbid ginkgo]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I gave details to a slash command where there is only one option that should be set 'required'. I gave the option the required=True property, but it displays as a "optional".

[full basin]

Code?

[turbid ginkgo]

It works fine, I only need the option to be displayed as a required option

I'm guessing I'm missing something

[full basin]

You don't provide a default value if the value is required

That makes it automatically non required

[torpid wraith]

How would I go about creating a slash command group within a cog?

I use the slash_command decorator and I'm assuming I need to call bot.create_group(), but I'm not sure how to call bot correctly within the cog.

[round rivet]

you can use discord.SlashCommandGroup

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[torpid wraith]

Tyvm. I see add_application_command(groupVar) is not called in the example, but I thought it had to be when using SlashCommandGroup?

[silver moat]

Not in cogs.

[torpid wraith]

Oh... Interesting. Is there documentation for this?

Side question: If I wanted to set default_permissions, would I do that with the groupVar decorator or the discord decorator?

[silver moat]

I don't understand your question. The @discord.slash_command decorator is for each individual command, not groups.

[torpid wraith]

Mind if I post a code snippet to give context, or should I open a thread?

Trying to do something like this (will move to thread if requested):

# Within Cog class
# <__init__ code here>

praise = discord.SlashCommandGroup("praise", "Praise people")

@praise.command(name = "set", description="Set number of praises for user")
@discord.default_permissions(
    administrator=True,
) # Only members with admin can use this command.
async def set(self, ctx, member: discord.Option(Member), praises: discord.Option(int)):
    # does stuff```

I think @discord.default_permissions is correct, but I'm not sure...
I'm now getting NameError: name 'Member' is not defined, but I thought Member was a valid option for discord.Option?

[silver moat]

should be discord.Member

[torpid wraith]

Just figured that out 😅 Thanks ❤️

[silver moat]

If it applies to the whole group, then use it in the SlashCommandGroup, otherwise, apply it to each command that requires it.

[torpid wraith]

Uhh... Not sure yet if it will apply to the whole group, but that is great to have in mind 🙂
However, I noticed guild_ids can be defined in SlashCommandGroup, but I instead have it defined in the cog class. Is that okay? Should I move it down to SlashCommandGroup?

[silver moat]

As long as it applies to the whole cog, it is fine

[torpid wraith]

If I wanted the permissions to apply to the whole cog, is there a permissions kwarg for the cog class?

[silver moat]

afaik no

[torpid wraith]

Ahh, because permissions are a decorator, and the command attributes of the class get directly passed to the kwargs of the command (which guild_id is one of the many).

This has been a journey to learn 😅 Appreciate your help. I'm used to Java and this is wildly different...

[silver moat]

I don't think the Java Discord API even has cogs

[torpid wraith]

Cogs just seem like helpful code organization by splitting up code into external classes, so I thought it would be a good investment to learn early. It's more so decorators and kwargs that are throwing me for a loop... Like, the documentation states to just pass whatever kwargs you want to the function, but never states what kwargs are supported by each function.

[limber urchin]

I'm pretty sure you can make a https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/cogs.html#discord.Cog.cog_check and write your own permission check, if you want a cog-wide permission check.

[silver moat]

Sadly that doesn't support the default_permissions factor.

[limber urchin]

Right

[undone falcon]

Is there a way to run a function before all commands in a Cog (like a before_command() or something like that)

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/cogs.html#discord.Cog.cog_before_invoke

[undone falcon]

Thank you !

[tidal grail]

I want to code slash command and normal command separately using pycord I don't want to use bridge any other alternative ways?

[undone falcon]

Can you cancel calling the command if you to verification in cog_before_invoke

[silver moat]

no. You would be looking for https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/cogs.html#discord.Cog.cog_check

[silver moat]

commands.Bot handles that for you

[undone falcon]

I see and can you call the before function with custom arguments? For exemple I know all the commands in my cog take a role as parameter

[limber urchin]

[undone falcon]

Yess but sometimes their is workaround to do it, or the doc is just outdated

So we never know

[limber urchin]

If the docs say that a method takes one parameter, there is never a workaround to magically add another parameter.

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext.selected_options

[undone falcon]

I see thank you !!

It is exactly what I was searching for

[undone falcon]

See would never have found if I did not ask

[limber urchin]

That's not a "workaround", that's literally in the docs

which you would have found if you read them

[silver moat]

you both should just chillax

[limber urchin]

huh?

[torpid wraith]

Is it possible to have a default command for a SlashCommandGroup? What would that look like?

[limber urchin]

It is not, Discord removed that feature

[torpid wraith]

aww sadge

Follow up: If I define a slash command with the same name as a group, I'm assuming it will get mad?

[limber urchin]

Yeah, I think so

[torpid wraith]

Welp, I tried, lol

[torpid wraith]

Can I have an on_message event method in both bot.py and a cog?

[silver moat]

yes

[torpid wraith]

tyvm

I'm assuming it would look like this?

# Cog file
from discord.ext import commands

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
  # Do stuff...```

[silver moat]

assuming it will be indented properly, you are missing the self parameter

[torpid wraith]

Good now?

[royal copper]

not sure if this is a good channel to ask this, but I don't know that much javascript so what does this do? or what is it for? (docs/_static/js/custom.js)

[silver moat]

This is a Python Discord API Wrapper Support Server.

[royal copper]

well yeah, but it's in the library, maybe not like the actual library but it's in the github repo, where else am I supposed to ask this? I thought it might be specific to this use case since google didn't provide any help

[silver moat]

probably some formatting/UX thing

[limber urchin]

Why not ask in a server that actually helps with JavaScript? You couldn't be further from the right place to ask

[royal copper]

did you even read my reply to the first person that said that

why are you guys so aggressive

this is why people are afraid to ask questions

[limber urchin]

If that's "aggressive" then you're in for a treat by being on the internet

[royal copper]

well imo a better way a helper in a programming discord server's help channel could have said that would be smth like "I'm not sure what this does but this isn't a good place to ask, you could try asking in a javascript discord server, they might be able to help you better"

but that's just a suggestion

sorry if I offended anyone

[limber urchin]

Well sometimes you assume that people read #how-to-get-help and #help-rules before asking a question. And by reading those it should be pretty obvious that this is not the right place to ask a JavaScript question.

But I'm sorry if that was too aggressive

[royal copper]

I'll admit I didn't read those before posting, I don't see anywhere where it says it should be python only, but I guess that should just be inferred, and this is a help channel for the pycord api, not help for understanding internal code

[limber urchin]

Where did you even find that code anyways?

[royal copper]

here

I noticed it was something added after forking and the commit comment was "improve toctrees" but removing it didn't seem to change anything

but it doesn't really matter I was just curious

ah looks like it's part of a scrollspy script library in js, weird that it didn't come up on google, I need to get better at searching for things

[proud mason]

Well that's part of docs

[royal copper]

I know

[proud mason]

I hope you meant it didn't change docs. Because that won't change the library 💀

[royal copper]

yeah that's what I meant

I know how to build sphinx docs

[proud mason]

Ah my bad lol

[royal copper]

no worries

[proud mason]

Would be a cool idea to ask what it does to the person who committed it

Because most helpers here don't deal with docs

[coral charm]

gets mad at friendly person for asking a question related to the package in the server that maintains the package

[royal copper]

I don't think they recognized it was a part of the package at first which is understandable

[limber urchin]

I like your definition of "mad"

[royal copper]

yeah true, I figured it out tho pretty sure so it's ok

[coral charm]

i like your way of cherrypicking a word and refusing to address the main point brought up in my message

anyway whatever who cares you're hte helpers anyway

[limber urchin]

That's right, I am an all-knowing god and I rule this world

[young bone]

[coral charm]

fr

[limber urchin]

What do you want me to address then, sir? I promise I won't be mad at you

[silver moat]

@coral charm @limber urchin could you maybe take this to DMs?

[coral charm]

eh i just wanted to point out that like 2 different helpers saw javascript and instantly told them to screw of before even attempting to figure out where the code came from and if it was relavent

i'm done here i dont really care about pycord i dont wnat to continue this conversation anyway

[limber urchin]

👋

[limber urchin]

I don't like DMs tbh

[proud mason]

This is a channel to get help on how to use the library, not how the library was made

[cerulean yacht]

is it possible to edit a message and send paginator?

[turbid ginkgo]

I used the example for the on_message_edit() event in the pycord git and the before.content and after.contect show as an empty string for some reason.

I tried to send the message with the tables themselves and it showed correctly with the message, channel and author info

Now I am writing a bot and I would like to clarify ... If I make 3 buttons in this code, then by clicking on the second one, the first two should turn off and the third one will turn on. Is this possible?

[grizzled sentinel]

Just check if child.label = third button label. Than dont disable it.

[soft girder]

Ок thanks

[uncut current]

so I got a small problem with a raspberry pi cronjob and I am sure someone here knows what I have to change to fix it.
I got these three lines for cronjobs

00 04 * * * sudo shutdown -r now
@reboot sleep 30; cd "/home/pi/Desktop/Bot V4.0" ; python3 main.py &
@reboot sleep 60; cd "/home/pi/Desktop/MusicDragon"; source venv/bin/activate ; python3 DragonBot.py &

so this night the first bot started but the second didn't start, I'd like to start both, how is this possible?

btw its the sudo crontab

[proud mason]

||or use enumerate and check the index||

[silver moat]

so applications commands such as slash commands, cant use it own error handler per command? it needs a global? ```py

like for example, trying to send an error message stating a user is on cooldown, doesn't work if is like commandname.error

Is it possible to initially make the button unavailable.

[true pewter]

I'm using using the @Option, the problem is that my idea is to make it so that if you select the discord.Member you can't choose the discord.TextChannel. I don't know if I've made myself clear.

[fallen cove]

how can you convert a channel variable to the same as ctx.channel which has the (property) instead of (variable)?

[grizzled sentinel]

Yes. Just set the button to disabled before sending.

[grizzled sentinel]

You have to do this manually. Or use auto complete but I think it is easier to just send a message when they are both selected.

[grizzled sentinel]

A property is just a variable inside a class (or function?)
Why does it matter?

Accessing it should work the same

[fallen cove]

made a transcript module but when i originally made it it just sent the file to the channel the transcript command was sent to, but i want staff to be able to grab a seperate channels by id and send it to them,
the only different i could figure out was if ctx.channel and Channelt = bot.get_channle(id) are not exactly equal

[mossy holly]

Hey guys quick question:
I'm using git to keep track of all my development, and I'll soon launch my bot on a public server (it'll be a server specific bot, so only used on this one (and my test server))

So I'm making a development branch (which will be used to try my future features etc. so obviously it'll have a different token)

I have a bash script to launch my bot:
start.sh

#! /usr/bin/bash

day=$(date +"%F")
timestamp=$(date +"%H_%M_%S")

# Creating a day log folder if not already created
mkdir -p logs/$day


# To keep track of the current branch
current_branch=$(git branch --show-current)

# To launch from the stable version of the bot
git checkout master

nohup python3 -u NameOfBot/main.py &> "logs/$day/nohup_$timestamp.out" &
echo $! > pid  # Used in stop.sh to kill the process
echo Starting bot...

# Coming back on our working branch after launching the bot
git checkout $current_branch

My question is: When doing this (i.e switching branch to launch the bot then coming back to the working branch once the bot is launched), will the writes / read to the database be on the good version of the database ? My database is in the git directory but is ignored (in .gitignore)

Or should I put it elsewhere to be sure ? Same question as I have logs and resources folder (both untracked as well)

Thanks if someone can help 😄

[proud mason]

since your db is ignored, git will ignore it. meaning the file will remain the same across branches

you could have the db files in a folder, and the file name could be the current branch name. then set the current branch in an env var in your bash. use this var to connect to your db

[mossy holly]

Yes I was thinking to do this, having a env variable with the current branch and using the variable to determine which database to use, I juste wasn’t sure it would properly ignore it, but now I am ^^
Thanks a lot for your answer 😃

[proud mason]

np

[leaden relic]

how do you dynamically set whitelisted guilds for slash command group's guild_ids using data from database?

[alpine kernel]

mmm like is there a question about doing anything specific? it seems pretty cut and dry:
-have whitelisted guilds in the db
-when using a slashcommand:
--grab whitelisted guilds from db
--check ctx.guild.id is in the whitelist

[leaden relic]

i tried using beanie and it throws me a collection not initialized

i fetched the data from the database using async client and asyncio.run and throws me that error

[alpine kernel]

seems like a beanie issue, something that i've never used /shrug

[leaden relic]

my init database is in on_connect event of the main

hmmm then i'll try using sync approach for fetching the guild ids

[alpine kernel]

?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74001717/init-beanie-cannot-initialize-some-collections

[leaden relic]

yeah i saw that too

using sync method it worked

[alpine kernel]

mmm maybe didnt await somewhere? dunno would need a bit of debugging

[leaden relic]

now my problem is the commands are still showing on both servers 🤣

[alpine kernel]

is there a way to check rate limits on a interaction call? trying to determine how often i can safely update channel names, apparently that's pretty restricted

[cyan quail]

channel names are twice per 10 minutes

[alpine kernel]

okey, was a weird request from a 'client' but at least i got something to tell them heh

[cyan quail]

generally you can only get the ratelimit from discord if you make the request directly to get the headers, don't think the library stores them elsewhere

[alpine kernel]

is there any reference for rate limits? or you just kinda know that

yeah that's fine just need helpful people like y'all to answer that heh

[cyan quail]

some people just found out through testing, discord doesn't have a list of ratelimits because most are dynamic and per-route

[alpine kernel]

yeah i respect that kinda security by obscurity

        embed.add_field(f"[messagelink]({msgid.jump_url})") #<- this is still an int, and doesnt have a jump_url property
        msgid.add_reaction("✅")

        await ctx.respond(embed = embed)
def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Verify(bot))

it doesnt solve not being able to do the command tho :T

[void abyss]

yeah i noticed the jump url thing

[alpine kernel]

can try pasting what you got now i guess

[void abyss]

its the exact same thing

just with commands.Cog

[alpine kernel]

can you try not having the msgid parameter? it might need to be a discord.Option

maybe it's just not finding it because it expects self.verify(ctx)

[void abyss]

fetch_message takes a int as the argument

bc its a id

[alpine kernel]

this is what I mean

async def verify(self, ctx, msgid: discord.Option(int, name="msgid", required=True)):

[void abyss]

oh

that

[alpine kernel]

it likely wont 'work' because id's are too big to pass to the javascript client

i've always had to take id's as strings then parse them into ints

[void abyss]

i dont think a parameter would keep a whole command from registering tho

[alpine kernel]

yeah not 100% sure about the internals but it's worth a shot

unless you get a purple name or that staff guy back here

[void abyss]

i mean

it looks like this

Checklist for Application Commands Not Showing Up:
• Does your bot have the application.commands scope?
• Are you loading cogs before on_ready and on_connect?
• Is on_connect not overridden?
• Did you update to the newest version of py-cord (tag: install)?
• Is User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input turned off?
• Did you share your code and errors?
• Do you still have libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py)?

So I have a command that looks up emojis via some API. It takes the name as the input. I'm defining an autocomplete method that does the API call and the filtering to return similar emotes. The API is returning a complex object and I eventually also want to get the emote URL from it. Is there a way to pass more data to the caller (command method) without breaking the autocomplete (since it probably wants a list of strings to be returned)?

[silver moat]

@void abyss could we move this to a thread?

[void abyss]

sure

[wintry wasp]

Right now I'm caching the response and redoing it in the caller but it isn't efficient.

Code looks something like this

async def trending_autocomplete(self, ctx: discord.commands.AutocompleteContext):
    # API call
    emotes = await self.get_trending_emotes(ctx.options["category"])
    return [emote['name'] for emote in emotes if emote['name'].lower().startswith(ctx.value.lower())]

@emote.command()
@option("category", description="What's the emote category?", autocomplete=category_autocomplete)
@option("name", description="What's the emote name?", autocomplete=trending_autocomplete)
async def find(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, category: str, name: str):
    # Returns cached response
    emotes = await self.get_trending_emotes(category)
    # This is the emote object, not just the name
    selected_emote = [emote for emote in emotes if emote['name'].lower() == name.lower()]
    # Get the url
    ...

[silver moat]

The autocomplete handler for the option. Accepts an iterable of str, a callable (sync or async) that takes a single argument of AutocompleteContext, or a coroutine. Must resolve to an iterable of str.
iirc, a dictionary with str as keys is an iterable of str

[wintry wasp]

Oh, so I just have to put the keys as the name and the rest of the emoji object as the value

I'll try that, thanks!

[silver moat]

It could also look like this if you want more than just the url:

{
  "sad_face_emoji_name": {
    "url": "https://",
    "foo": "bar",
    "spam": "eggs"
  },
  "second emoji idk": {
  ...
  }
}

[wintry wasp]

Yea, that would be perfect

[gaunt junco]

async def search_options(options: List, ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    return options

@bot.slash_command()
async def choose_food(
    ctx,
    food_type: discord.Option(str, "select your desired delacasy", autocomplete=search_options(["apple", "banana"]))
):
    await ctx.respond(food_type)

how would i go about including an additional parameter in the autocomplete function?
sry i dont entirely get function annotations

[silver moat]

do you intend to have static choices?

Autocomplete should only be used for dynamic choices that update during runtime or more than 25 choices.

[river dove]

is there a limit on how many commands a bot can have

[icy tulip]

can you remove the buttons on a pagegroup used In a paginator If It only has one embed? nevermind I got It

[gaunt junco]

the choices are intended to be immutable
what would be better optimized for static choices

[limber urchin]

You can set the choices kwarg to a list of strings/OptionChoices as well, as long as it's fewer than 25

.rtfm discord.Option.choices

[winter condor]

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

[limber urchin]

huh

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.Option.choices

[gaunt junco]

tysm <3

[wintry wasp]

Well that was a good idea in theory, in practice it seems that the autocomplete takes the dictionary and only returns back the key back to find as an the name option/input.

[gaunt junco]

so so sry but what is the difference between the OptionChoice object and a raw string?

[limber urchin]

Well, an OptionChoice lets you set a name, value and a localization. A raw string will just use the name as the value as well.

[gaunt junco]

i see

thx again!

[undone falcon]

Can you print the traceback of a ApplicationCommandInvokeError ? When I try to do it it does:

Ignoring exception in on_application_command_error

[rare garnet]

Does anyone know how to properly process discord.User.public_flags

[silver moat]

You get a discord.User object and access its attribute.

[rare garnet]

I tried doing this

[rare garnet]

oh

[rare garnet]

Thanks Squid :D

[rare garnet]

yes but how do I know if a user has a certain tag the value returned is additive of all the tags

for example, in my case, I have the active developer badge and the hype squad balence

so 4194304 + 256 = 4194560

[silver moat]

it isn't the addition, it is the bitshift. You would just have to check for every one

[rare garnet]

ok thanks

[stuck canopy]

does Command Groups work with Slash Commands?

[limber urchin]

.tias

[winter condor]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[stuck canopy]

I am more curious about how you'd implement it though.

[errant crane]

Here's the slash groups example.

[stuck canopy]

Ah okay ty.

Actually I am confused about how decorators work

o wait no i think i get it.

[limber urchin]

It's a good idea to understand what a decorator is before making a bot with pycord

[stuck canopy]

I mainly write C so Decorators are not sometihng I am familiar wit

[gaunt junco]

is there anyway to simplify this by returning the name of the variable or option?

[stuck canopy]

yeah but I dont tihnk it would save space.

[limber urchin]

That's the most basic way you can do it, doing it in any other way would just overcomplicate things

[stuck canopy]

You're just changing the name and value in each of them, you could probably add each field to a list like ['rank', 'gamemode', 'time', 'players'] and then iterate over it and add_field for i I guess.

But yeah that's basic without overcomplicating.

[gaunt junco]

is there any way to return the name of a variable that's referenced in a for loop?

for f in [rank, gamemode, time, players]:
  embed.add_field(name=return_name_of_orignal_var(f), value=f, inline=True)

[stuck canopy]

Yeah there is.

func.__name__

[gaunt junco]

without using f"{a=}".split("=")[0]

oh dam'

does name apply to basic types as well

[stuck canopy]

In theory you could do something like:

fields = [rank, gamemode, time, players]
for i in fields:
  embed.add_field(name=i.__name__.capitalize(), value=i, inline=True)

[stuck canopy]

Not sure I get what you mean

[gaunt junco]

is name a valid method for strings as well

[stuck canopy]

yeah it returns the name of a varialbe I think

[gaunt junco]

im just gonna stick with a hashmap

generally cleaner

thx for the help tho

[stuck canopy]

actually I dont think __name__ is a thing lmao

for vars I mean.

[gaunt junco]

it works for functions and methods tho
so
theoretically

def a():
  return "a but the letter"

print(a())
print(a.__name__)

:)

[stuck canopy]

works?

Idk I havent checked.

[gaunt junco]

yea

[stuck canopy]

also what does this erorr entail? 'dict' object has no attribute 'cog'

[ornate current]

should i make some sort of cache for gettings prefix from mongodb?

reading data directly from mongo would consume alot

[stuck canopy]

if you're going to cache it would it just be JSON? if so why not just have it all in a local json...

[torpid wraith]

I have this, but it will only print to console if the bot is mentioned. What stupid little thing am I missing? 😅

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
    print(message.content)```

Oh, does it need Message Content Intent?

im dumb...

[young bone]

Yes

[young bone]

@torpid wraith you should add both message intents

[soft girder]

Is it possible to make the discord bot leave the link to the message written earlier.

I need the bot to insert a link into the gray button to the previous message where the green and red buttons are

[young bone]

yes

[soft girder]

How...🤔 Some specific system? Or an event?

[grizzled sentinel]

When sending the green/red button save the message ID (you might need channel id to depending on if you can get that later.) Than reconstruct the link. In a link the IDs go guild/Channel/message.

[young bone]

It should be not that hard if you know python ;3

[grizzled sentinel]

@strong crypt
This the pycord the help server for making discord bots.
I suggest you join the python help server instead for general python questions the server at the bottom of the next message.

[obtuse junco]

its is very difficult to help you if you don't understand python first.
As it stands, you do not or cannot show that you understand the basic fundamentals of Python. Please continue to learn Python first, as pycord is a Python framework and as such requires that you have a confident grasp on these fundamentals . For now, pause your current project and when you have learned enough Python you can then pick it back up and continue where you left off (if at all possible).** You cannot drive a truck if you do not know how to drive at all.**

cool free resources are
w3school
freecodecamp.org

there are also a lot of python programming tutorials out there a youtube search will give a lot awesome content. If you need help with python there is a python server for that where they will be more that happy to help you with these thing, you can also ask for python help in #881309540639997952.

[gaunt junco]

is there any method to create an invite in a particular channel given its id
mega small brain question but i cant seem to find it in the documentation

[dusty linden]

await channel.create_invite()

[gaunt junco]

lmao that's it

thx man :)

[soft girder]

Is it possible to write a button so that when the administrator clicks on it,then the author of the command is given a certain role.

[gaunt junco]

having some issues integrate the invite into the embed

details = {
    "Rank":rank,
    "Gamemode":gamemode,
    "Time":time,
    "Players":players,
}

if voice_channel:
    details["Voice Channel"] = str(voice_channel.create_invite())

embed = discord.Embed(
    title="The Finals - NA LFG",
    description=f"{ctx.author.name} is looking for a group!",
    color=discord.Color.from_rgb(210, 31, 60)
)

embed.set_thumbnail(url=str(ctx.author.display_avatar.url))

for k, v in details.items():
    embed.add_field(name=k, value=v, inline=True)

await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

do i have to specify await in this instance where im creating an invite?

[somber pelican]

it's a coroutine object, so you probably have to use await

[soft girder]

Is it possible to write a button so that when the administrator clicks on it,then the author of the command is given a certain role.

[proud mason]

Yes

[soft girder]

And then how do I get the sender's ID in the button.

[proud mason]

Store it on the button or view when creating the view

[soft girder]

Can You write example?

[proud mason]

[soft girder]

Sorry im bigginet

[proud mason]

That would be the equivalent of writing the whole code ngl

I'll write a example

[young bone]

#help-rules

[soft girder]

@young bone I already have code

[full basin]

Just pass the value to the view's init

[soft girder]

class StartRegistrationButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
    
    @discord.ui.button( label="Start registration",custom_id="button-13",emoji="▶",style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary,row=3)
    async def startreg_button_callback(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

        if interaction.user.guild_permissions.administrator==True:
             if ctx.guild.id == 944934277777326090:
                 guild = bot.get_guild(944934277777326090)
                 role=guild.get_role(1064856142259425350)
                 await author.add_roles(role,reason=None, atomic=True)
             if ctx.guild.id == 769823680695107594:
                 guild = bot.get_guild(769823680695107594)
                 role=guild.get_role(776528911269363775)
                 await author.add_roles(role,reason=None, atomic=True)
        else:

async def reg(ctx):

    await ctx.send("Smth",view=StartRegistrationButton())

[full basin]

Thats a modal, not a button?

[soft girder]

I know!!!

I thought to put the class in the command

[full basin]

No

[young bone]

ctx.send_modal?

[full basin]

You asked how to do it in a button. Not in a modal

[young bone]

also that ^

[full basin]

And literally

if ctx.guild.id == idhere:
    bot.get_guild(the same id)```
Is just useless

[soft girder]

Ohh no...

[full basin]

What button

There's literally no button there

[soft girder]

@full basin ok, I'll give you an example of a button

5 minutes

[soft girder]

chek

All I need is some way to save ID author outside command.

So that later if the admin clicks on this button, the author will be given a role.

[soft girder]

code here

[proud mason]

Store it as an object attribute

self.auth_id = ...

Accept a parameter for the id in the view init

[proud mason]

And set this there

While creating the view object in the command, pass the author id to it

[soft girder]

interaction.client is this not the right way?

[proud mason]

What?

[soft girder]

what wrong i do

class RoleButton(discord.ui.View):

[young bone]

Do you know what you are doing?

[soft girder]

Something that, in fact, should not work. And I understand this.

But I do not really understand how to transform the idea into reality

[young bone]

You are asking so much stuff here?

[soft girder]

No.

I need only one

How I can save ID author

To class

[soft girder]

I don't understand this

Please provide a link to an example.

I can explain again what I need.

[young bone]

Eh, Im not sure if you really know basic python

[soft girder]

This is the problem that I know. But it is difficult for me to explain myself because I am from Ukraine.

It's hard for me to understand you.

Okay you can't help me:(

[full basin]

You were indeed helped.

You don't understand the answers because you don't know OOP.

[blissful hazel]

They might not understand because google translate messes things up

[soft girder]

Yes...😕

That's why I'm asking for examples.

May small,but ex.

[full basin]

This is an object (class) attribute

dog = Dog()
dog.some_attribute = "hello"```

[soft girder]

Ok ..

[limber urchin]

You've been told before to learn Python before asking questions here
