!!!

I know all about you tell but....

All what google translate for me it's .....

[limber urchin]

Then you need to find a place where they can speak your language. This server is English only, so if you don't understand English we can't help you.

[soft girder]

Do know similar servers?

[limber urchin]

No

[proud mason]

not really
start by finding general coding servers, then try to find people who speak your language

ask these people if they know such server

[red geyser]

Im using slash commands, they work, however everytime i use it in discord, i get the message "The application did not respond"

[grizzled sentinel]

Use ctx.respond not ctx.send

Ctx.respond is for responding to slash commands
Ctx.send is just for sending a message like sending a second message.

[red geyser]

ah I see, thankyou

Is there any way to set a timeout for it, just incase it still cannot respond?

[young bone]

if its takes more than a few seconds it will still happend

use ctx.defer()

[fervent cradle]

@client.slash_command(name="purgemembers", description="Purge all members with no roles.")
async def kicknorole(ctx):
    members = ctx.guild.members
    for member in members:
        test = len(member.roles) == 1
        if test:
            await member.kick()
            await ctx.respond(f"Done! Successfully kicked all members with no roles.", ephemeral=True)
            #await ctx.send(member.name)
    else:
      await ctx.respond(f"There is no members with no roles left.", ephemeral=True)```

How do I add a kick counter?

[limber urchin]

what do you mean by "kick counter"?

[full basin]

Om answered you in the thread

[fervent cradle]

How to count the member of users kicked?

[limber urchin]

You've already been given an answer. Stick to your thread

[fervent cradle]

I was told to, set count = 0 before the loop and add 1 to it after each kick

But Idk how to.

[limber urchin]

That's extremely basic Python

Which you are expected to know before using pycord, read #help-rules

[fervent cradle]

Then how should I search this up on google?

[fervent cradle]

Which part do I search?

[limber urchin]

Dude, you need to learn the basics.

We won't help you if you don't know OOP and async-await concepts in Python

Just searching on Google and copying code won't help you learn anything

[fervent cradle]

I don't want to learn anything I just need it functioning in my serve

[young bone]

That is not how it works

[limber urchin]

And we don't want to help people who refuse to follow rules

If you don't want to learn, programming was the wrong choice of hobby for you my friend

[fervent cradle]

It wasn't a hobby to begin with. Just need a bot for my personal server.

No other bots have that feature

[limber urchin]

Unfortunately for you, making a bot requires Python knowledge

[young bone]

As long you dont know the basic of python we are not gonna help you and this will be for every language and help Server

[fervent cradle]

async def button_callback(interaction:discord.Interaction):
        ticket_category = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.categories, name='Tickets')
        channel = await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(f"ticket-{format(ticketNum, '04d')}", category=ticket_category)
        await channel.set_permissions(interaction.user, overwrite=overwrite)

        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Created Ticket at {channel.mention}", ephemeral=True)
        modal = ticketModal(title="Create a Ticket")
        modal.variables(interaction.user, channel)
        await channel.send_modal(modal)

How can i get the modal to work with a button

[fervent cradle]

AttributeError: 'TextChannel' object has no attribute 'send_modal'

this is the error btw

[soft girder]

why?

[limber urchin]

self.use??

[fervent cradle]

i was also confused on the self.use

[soft girder]

not to tangle user and self.user.

[limber urchin]

It's interaction.followup.send_modal

[limber urchin]

what?

[soft girder]

ok

[limber urchin]

?

[soft girder]

class RoleButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self,author):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

        self.user=author


    @discord.ui.button( label="Add role",custom_id="button-101",emoji="📝",style=discord.ButtonStyle.success,row=1)
    async def reg2_button_callback(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction):
        #await interaction.response.send_message(f"{self.user}")


        guild = interaction.guild_id
        msg = interaction.message
        user = interaction.user

        if interaction.user.guild_permissions.administrator==True:           
            
            if guild == 944934277777326090:
                guildid = bot.get_guild(944934277777326090)
                role=guildid.get_role(1064856142259425350)
                await self.user.add_roles(role,reason=None, atomic=True)#here error

                await self.user.add_roles(role,reason=None, atomic=True)



            await interaction.response.send_message(f"{self.user}")

        else:
            pass       

[fervent cradle]

im guessing its 2 different variables

and he doesnt want to get the two mixed up

[limber urchin]

what is author?

[soft girder]

ctx.author from class

[limber urchin]

from what class? Where do you initiate this class?

[fervent cradle]

AttributeError: 'Webhook' object has no attribute 'send_modal' got this error

[limber urchin]

try interaction.response.send_modal then

[limber urchin]

That's just an id? Not a member object

[limber urchin]

?

[soft girder]

I take the author's ID and drag it to the class with the button

[limber urchin]

And why are you passing the ID? Don't you just want a member object???

[fervent cradle]

I have a function which replies to user when the user dms the bot, but why am I receiving this exception?
discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50007): Cannot send messages to this user

[limber urchin]

Because the bot can't send messages to the user

It probably means the user has their privacy settings turned up

[fervent cradle]

no, i have my dms turned on (it's me who is trying to dm)

[limber urchin]

This?

and this?

[fervent cradle]

yes

[limber urchin]

You could just recursively loop over all folders and look for .py files

[proud mason]

Or just use bot.load_extensions which does this all automatically

Notice the s at the end

.rtfm load_extensions

[winter condor]

6 results

discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extensions
discord.ext.bridge.Bot.load_extensions
discord.ext.bridge.AutoShardedBot.load_extensions
discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot.load_extensions
discord.AutoShardedBot.load_extensions
discord.Bot.load_extensions

[limber urchin]

well, if load_extensions works that'd be 100x better than doing it youself

[ornate current]

need help with quart_discord, it says discord.Permission is not an attribute. I understand but how do i fix this??

should i do something like discord.Permission = discord.Permissions

would that work?

[fervent cradle]

..?

[proud mason]

hmm full error?

[shy crow]

Anyone has an idea how I can do that commands can't executed in Text-in-voice anymore?

[night slate]

hello everyone i have a question how can i do both slash and default commands in my bot? For example, i have !ping and /ping

client = discord.Bot(intents = intents)

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/bridge

[night slate]

ty

[night slate]

and if I want to make it so that there is only a command with a prefix?

for example /ping and !pong

[silver moat]

just use a normal @bot.command()?

[night slate]

but then how do I initialize the client, because the client variable stores discord.Bot

and you can't enter command_prefix there

sorry for the stupid question)

[silver moat]

read the guide please

[hybrid flower]

can I use Paginator in on_message event? paginator.respond function require interaction as first param, but there is no interaction in on_message event.

[night cargo]

im getting an error that says

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In 8.options.5.options.1.choices: Must be 25 or fewer in length.

how do I find out what In 8.options.5.options.1.choices is?

[minor pulsar]

can someone help me please, I'm trying to make a message ephemeral, it has buttons and will edit the message when clicked. My problem is that it says this interaction has already been responded to before whenever i click the buttons next and previous.

[ornate current]

discord-ext-ipc has buncha errors, any alternatives?

or should i just switch to js lol

[proud mason]

better-ipc

[proud mason]

No easy way to do it NGL

Some group cmd with 5 subcommands?

[proud mason]

There is a workaround. paginator.send is used to send paginator with prefix cmds, but that needs a Context to be passed. You can set target kwarg if you want the paginator to be sent somewhere else like different channel or some DM etc, but it still needs the context. You can use bot.get_context on the message to get a fake context (because it will not be a command) and pass that

.rtfm paginator.send

[hybrid flower]

I gave up on that idea

[proud mason]

thats the only workaround ik of

ill try if i can make a pr for a better solution

[hybrid flower]

and then have a new problem for me, my bot send a image file attachment and a embed in a single message, how can I let the embed before files?

[proud mason]

i dont think you can control that. it should be a discord limitation

[hybrid flower]

if it's a discord limitation, there is no solution.

tyvm

[proud mason]

np!

[ornate current]

:<

ConnectionRefusedError [WinError 1225] The remote computer refused the network connection```

is it the problem with quart or ipc

[proud mason]

no idea. probably ipc. try asking in their support server

[ornate current]

kk

support server is inactive

welp

[fervent cradle]

Uh so, what's wrong in the code?

    async def on_message(message):
        if message.startswith('!mail'):
            await message.author.send("Hello World!")
        else:
            return

Exception: AttributeError: 'Message' object has no attribute 'startswith'

[proud mason]

you want message.content

[limber urchin]

It's message.content to get it as a str

[fervent cradle]

oh

fixed ty

Anyways I have 3 buttons that have the same callback, any way to implement the callback function without having to declare it for every single view?

[limber urchin]

You can see them as attributes by just looping over them

for button in my_view.items:
    button.callback = my_func

obv not exactly like that, but you get the idea

[proud mason]

You can rather subclass discord.ui.Button

As that would be much cleaner

@fervent cradle

[fervent cradle]

Can you send me an example?

[minor pulsar]

can someone help

[limber urchin]

Use interaction.edit_original_message instead. That won't respond to the interaction.
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.edit_original_message

[minor pulsar]

i tried interaction.edit_original_response but it gives me unknown webhook

[proud mason]

there is a similar example that subclasses Button

[errant crane]

Here's the button roles example.

[fervent cradle]

How to remove the button after it was clicked?

[limber urchin]

.rtfm clear_items

[lime lotus]

can i send a modal in response to a button callback?

[young bone]

With an Interaction

[lime lotus]

can I send it through the Interaction that is passed in the callback?

found it, sorry

[vale heath]

A quick question can we change the variable name to show differently in bridge ?

[cyan quail]

elaborate?

[vale heath]

like im using

async def abc(self, ctx, arg: int = "None", arg2: int = "None", arg3: float = "None"):

insted of arg i wnat people to see it as name when they use slash

while it being as bridge

[cyan quail]

why not just change the parameter name then

[vale heath]

have to change alot in code

[cyan quail]

eh any half decent ide will do it for you

well alternatively you could use arg: type = discord.Option(name="...", ...)

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

[vale heath]

im using @option but its not working

[cyan quail]

don't use it then, use the Option object

[limber urchin]

Why are your parameters typehinted to int, but default to "None"? 🤔

[vale heath]

[proud mason]

It even is a "None" string and not NoneType 💀

[blissful hazel]

^^

beautiful

[hushed ledge]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[limber urchin]

No

[slow halo]

Do i need a "On_Connect()" Function to sync the Slash-Commands or does the API it on its own?

[limber urchin]

What do you mean by that? on_connect already exists on all bot instances

[full basin]

The event syncs the commands. If you override it, you must call the sync commands function in it

[slow halo]

okay, so i dont need that Stuff or "bot.sync_commands()" in my Script....that was all that i needed to know 😛

Thank you 🙂

[limber urchin]

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

It's in the docs

[slow halo]

i just wasnt sure^^

okay, looks like i really need some glasses xD

[young bone]

py-cord should already doing that for you

[hushed ledge]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[silver moat]

by googling

[full basin]

You can look for old messages lol. There was an exact same case

[proud mason]

In case you are too lazy to do that ^
https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1068027432587763772

[fervent cradle]

how can i reply to an on_message event

like instead of sending it to the channel how can i make it reply directly

[full basin]

message.reply?..

[fervent cradle]

wtf

i swear i tried that

[fervent cradle]

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'slash_command'. Did you mean: 'add_command'?

[silver moat]

how did you define Bot?

[fervent cradle]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ".", intents = discord.Intents.all(), activity = activity)

[silver moat]

pip list in terminal and show output

[fervent cradle]

py-cord is 2.4.0

[silver moat]

You probably have other libraries that conflict with py-cord

so a full list is preferrable

[fervent cradle]

i have discord

2.2.2

[silver moat]

yeah uninstall discord and py-cord, then reinstall py-cord and restart IDE/terminal

[fervent cradle]

still not working

@silver moat
im getting

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'```

nvm i fixed it

[tiny spire]

How do I move this command handler in my Main.py to a module like Handler.py and have it work properly:
https://pastebin.com/HfLtEMJe

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/HfLtEMJe

[tiny spire]

I also want to create some if statements before a few of the commands so I can enable/disable commands from the config, would this work?

if config["Davinci"]:
  @client.slash_command(description="OpenAI Davinci Integration.")
  @option("query", description="Your message to the bot")
  async def gpt(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, query: str):
    await Models.davinci(query, ctx)```

config["Davinci"] being a boolean

[stuck canopy]

just put the if inside it dude

[tiny spire]

I don't want it to show on the slash command list

[stuck canopy]

you cant do:

if value:
  def gpt():
    ...
...

thats just not how programming wroks

[tiny spire]

k

[stuck canopy]

but realistically I am not sure.

[tiny spire]

i'll try both methods and see if either of them work

[stuck canopy]

actually this might work, I've never tried it in python.

I remember learning C I tried this lol

[tiny spire]

i'm just learning python so I really have no idea

I came from discord.js

[stuck canopy]

Ah gotcha

[tiny spire]

glad I escaped that hell 🙏

#/purge
@client.slash_command(description="Clears all messages.")
async def purge(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):
  await Messages.purge(ctx, channel)```

this shows a channel dropdown for me

[stuck canopy]

this weird bro

[tiny spire]

change

    async def channel(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, chnl: discord.abc.GuildChannel):```
to
```python
     async def channel(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, chnl: discord.TextChannel):```
and see if that works

[stuck canopy]

Yeah lol I just tried it doesnt

[tiny spire]

huh

idk then lol

[tiny spire]

btw this works

[stuck canopy]

Ah awesome

Anyways reposting 😄

Also does anyone know why this doesn't show a channel dropdown?

@welcome.command() 
    async def channel(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, chnl: discord.abc.GuildChannel):
        settings[ctx.guild.id]["welcome"] = chnl.id
        save_settings()
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Welcomer Channel Set!",
                              description=f"The welcomer channel has successfully been set to {chnl.mention}.")
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

[tiny spire]

ask ChatGPT lol

[tiny spire]

it fixes everything for me

my bot basically wrote itself

[stuck canopy]

nah it's not good with pycord. I ask it for pycord help and it import this package called "discord_slash"

which is a discordpy thingy i think

[tiny spire]

yeah it did that to me too

bing has internet access so it's up to date if you want to try that

[stuck canopy]

rather not use microsoft lmao

[tiny spire]

based

can't even gaslight bing AI smh

[proud mason]

dont ngl. it always messes stuff up with pycord

[tiny spire]

yeah kinda forgot what we were talking about here lol

[proud mason]

what pycord version are you on?

cuz discord.TextChannel should be able to do it

[stuck canopy]

bruv I should be on the latest

[proud mason]

wrong library 😅

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

[proud mason]

py-cord (with a -)

also, try using the @option decorator

[stuck canopy]

bruh

bro....

I am a moron.

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[stuck canopy]

its suprising that most has worked so far

[proud mason]

dang lmao

make sure to uninstall that, py-cord and all other discord related libraries. and then reinstall py-cord

[stuck canopy]

Yup

still

[proud mason]

hmm

[proud mason]

tried this?

[stuck canopy]

I am

I'll show you all the code, I feel like something is really wrong.

anythign wrong here?

Union[discord.TextChannel]? why that

[stuck canopy]

That was the example lol

oh huh

[stuck canopy]

I mean I can get rid of the union part

ahahahah lol ,I don't need in public bot

🖖

[limber urchin]

Is that an excuse for being lazy?

[soft girder]

I need to replace a couple of lines.What is the problem. Why stir up conflict?

[limber urchin]

Conflict? I'm just pointing out that you have SQL injection vulnerabilities, even after being told 3 times to fix them

And you keep coming back to ask questions here, even after being told to learn Python before making a bot

Your error is very basic

[soft girder]

I already solved it. And I allowed it because I didn’t drink coffee 😅

[somber pelican]

is there a way for ApplicationCommandInvokeError exceptions to just be the base exception instead?

for example, I would like for the exception to be an instance of InvalidXml, instead of ApplicationCommandInvokeError

[somber pelican]

is this not possible...? i've searched the docs to no avail

[proud mason]

Is InvalidXml and error you raise yourself? Or some library you are using and you want to capture it?

[somber pelican]

i'm raising it myself, in a function imported from another file

i'm catching the exception in cog_command_error

[proud mason]

Alright looks fine

Is that a custom error class?

[somber pelican]

it's a custom exception class inherting from Exception

[proud mason]

If yes, then you should subclass Exception

[somber pelican]

class InvalidXml(Exception):
    pass

[proud mason]

Oh nice

Yeah so the App cmd part is displayed as extra text to know where the error is from. If you want to handle it, then error should be an instance of InvalidXml

[somber pelican]

yea, i'm asking how i convert ApplicationCommandError into an instance of InvalidXml

[proud mason]

The error should already be an instance of InvalidXml iirc. Can you check it?

[somber pelican]

    async def cog_command_error(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, exception: Exception) -> None:
        if isinstance(exception, InvalidXml):
            embed = await build_embed(0xff0000, "Error", """
            Invalid data was returned from the API, or there was an error parsing it.
            Please remove "account-verifier" from your friends list or friend requests, and try again.
            """)

        else:
            [title, description] = await return_proper_exception(exception)
            embed = await build_embed(0xff0000, title, description)

            self.bot.logger.error(f"{title}: {description}", exc_info=True)

        return await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

here's my cog_command_error code

the error is instance of ApplicationCommandInvokeError

[proud mason]

Hmm

That is weird. Can you inherit from ApplicationCommandInvokeError instead and see what happens?

[somber pelican]

sure, just one second

@proud mason
inherting from ApplicationCommandInvokeError throws TypeError: ApplicationCommandInvokeError.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'e'

editing my exception to

class InvalidXml(ApplicationCommandInvokeError):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(self)

worked tho! tysm!!

[proud mason]

Oh nice

[fervent cradle]

This is my directory tree:

.
├── bot/
│   └── f1/
│       └── cmd.py
└── main.py

I have a cog (cmd.py) inside the f1 folder, but why can't I load it using bot.load_extension('bot.f1.cmd') in main.py?

[young bone]

are you sure its the right path?

[fervent cradle]

yes i am

[young bone]

and what is the error?

[fervent cradle]

wait it's working now

nevermind

[analog trellis]

hi can someone please tell me why my chat bot isnt working?

[limber urchin]

How is anyone supposed to do that if you don't show your code?

[analog trellis]

can you see from the screenshot?

[limber urchin]

No? You're literally showing 6 lines of your code.

[analog trellis]

okay but can you tell me how to send the code because i dont know how please

[young bone]

Do you know basic Python btw?

[limber urchin]

Dude read #help-rules or go to another server, I can not be bothered helping you if you can't follow basic guidelines

[young bone]

Also that ^

[analog trellis]

i am sorry i just dont know how to send the code

i need help with that

[limber urchin]

How do you not know how to send code? Do you know how to copy and paste text on your computer??

[analog trellis]

yes of course i do

[limber urchin]

and what's stopping you from copying and pasting your code here?

[analog trellis]

oh okay one second

#question:answer

qna = {
"hi":"hey",
"how are you":"I am fine",
"what is your name":"My name is Steve",
"how old are you":"I am 20 years old",
}

while True:
qs = input()

if(qs == "quit"):
    break

else:
     print(qna.get(qs))

thats my code although when for example i press 'hi' on the terminal its not working

[grizzled sentinel]

are you typing hi (space) or just hi

[analog trellis]

hi without space

[limber urchin]

That is not your full code

[grizzled sentinel]

Yeah, i will need to see the whole file to determine more

[analog trellis]

okay can you please tell me how to do that?

[limber urchin]

[analog trellis]

i am still learning you see

[limber urchin]

Still learning how to use a computer? Dude.. copy and paste

[young bone]

we already told you to read the rules...

[grizzled sentinel]

I suggest you join discord.gg/python
They are able to help with more basic python questions. We are a discord library for building discord bots.

[analog trellis]

what about now?

[limber urchin]

Go to the Python discord instead, your question is very basic and doesn't fit into this channel

[analog trellis]

i mean did i do the code correct?

[grizzled sentinel]

It looks correct

[analog trellis]

great then why it can not work?

[limber urchin]

Go to the Python discord instead, your question is very basic and doesn't fit into this channel

[analog trellis]

okay Spaxter i will

[solemn idol]

Why do my commands inside of my cog still seem to be loaded whenever I unload them using client.unload_extension? (client is the same as bot as most of you prefer to use, client=commands.Bot(intents=intents etc.))

My terminal shows that it has successfully been unloaded and my help command (which is mostly automatically generated using client.get_cog() and cog.get_commands() ) doesn't show my commands and the cog in general as being loaded anymore. I am using debug sync to my dedicated guild but my commands still seem to be active and I have no idea why. Any help is appreciated :)

[grizzled sentinel]

you need to sync commands after unloading

[limber urchin]

Unloading a cog won't unregister the commands

[grizzled sentinel]

However it still does not work that great. for some reason

[solemn idol]

So you're saying even when I unload my cog the commands still completely work (what I mean with work is that whenever I do for example /meme it still gives me a meme, even though the cog containing the command is unloaded).
To prevent that I need to resync basically everything in that cog after loading / unloading a cog?

[grizzled sentinel]

after unloading you should run self.bot.sync_commands() Show your code for unloading the cog as well please.

[analog trellis]

#question:answer

qna = {
    "hi":"hey",
    "how are you":"I am fine",
    "what is your name":"My name is Steve",
    "how old are you":"I am 20 years old",
}

while True:
    qs = input()

    if(qs == "quit"):
        break

    else:
         print(qna.get(qs))
    

thats my code

forchatbot

[solemn idol]

    @commands.is_owner() 
    @discord.slash_command(name = "unload", description = "Unloads a category.")
    async def unload(self, ctx, category: Option(str, required = True)):
        try:
            client.unload_extension(f'cogs.{category}')
            print(colorama.Fore.RED + f'Unloaded : {category}')
            await ctx.respond(f':white_check_mark:  **Unloaded {category}!**  :white_check_mark:')
        except:
            em = discord.Embed()
            em.title = ('Invalid category!')
            em.description = (f'This category does not exist or has already been unloaded.')
            em.color = em_red
            await ctx.respond(embed = em)

This command is in a cog called developer.py too btw. idk if that's of any relevance

I mean I'll try

[grizzled sentinel]

I think you are running a different file becouse the example you showed does not line up with your code.

[young bone]

why should that not work??

[analog trellis]

excuse me what does this mean? Its the same code

[analog trellis]

i dont know why, i type on the terminal hi and it does not answer

[limber urchin]

Did we not tell you to move do a different place? You're clogging up the help channel with questions unrelated to this server.

[grizzled sentinel]

How is your code printing I'm sorry, I dont understand. Can you please try again? if it is not in your code?

[young bone]

^

[grizzled sentinel]

It responds with this line?
await ctx.respond(f':white_check_mark: **Unloaded {category}!** :white_check_mark:')

[solemn idol]

Yup

the print statement is for my terminal

and the client.unload_extension unloads the cog I selected

[fervent cradle]

Is there any way I can delete the bot's message that is sent in dm?

[solemn idol]

do you want to automatically delete it after a specific time?

[grizzled sentinel]

And you are on the latest version?

[solemn idol]

py-cord 2.4.0

[limber urchin]

You would need to store the message somewhere, either by ID or just the instance of the message.

[analog trellis]

maybe because earlier i had tried a diffferent code? i mean on the commands

[solemn idol]

I believe you could just auto delete it using
await channel.send('this message will delete after 3 seconds', delete_after = 3)

[analog trellis]

to write that where?

[solemn idol]

no, that was an answer on @fervent cradle

[limber urchin]

For the last time, move to a different place. You're clogging up people who are actually trying to get help with pycord.

[analog trellis]

oh sorry'

[analog trellis]

okay i will thank you for helping though

[solemn idol]

Do I need to remove every single application command using remove_application_command(name of the command) and then sync it using client.sync_commands() ?

or... do I just use remove_cog

[grizzled sentinel]

That should work

Tell me if it does

[solemn idol]

I'll try it later gtg rn, I'll let you know. Thank you very much for your help :)

[true pewter]

I want to make a command that allows to choose if the message is going to be done by a channel or by private message.

So the idea is that in the first option they choose the place, if it is going to be by private or by channel and depending on what they have chosen, the second option will choose the user or the channel. Ns if anyone has tried it or not. feedback?

class SendMessage(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    
    async def get_destiny(self, integration: AutocompleteContext):
        if integration.options["select"] == "User":
            return [discord.Member]
        elif integration.options["select"] == "Channel":
            return [discord.TextChannel]
        else:
            return []

    @discord.slash_command(name="send")
    async def mention(self, ctx:  discord.ApplicationContext, select: str = Option(choices=["User", "Channel"]),
                      destiny: str = Option(autocomplete=get_destiny)):

        if select == "User":
            await ctx.send(f"Hey {destiny.mention}")

[limber urchin]

Do you have an issue or do you just want feedback on the code?

[fervent cradle]

Can someone link me a quick reference or example to unpack_audio
The docs are really vague

[young bone]

What is with the docs?

[thorny kindle]

How would i add a timestamp to my embed? Right now i am trying to use

timestamp=datetime.now()

    embed = discord.Embed(title='Help', description=f'{helpdesc1}\n {embedchannels}', color=discord.Color.yellow())
    embed.set_footer(text='Lightbulb MC')
    embed.set_author(timestamp=datetime.now())

[limber urchin]

set_author does not take a timestamp?

[thorny kindle]

Oh?

[young bone]

[limber urchin]

Where do you see that in the docs?

[thorny kindle]

I didnt see anything in the docs. This is all i found:

[silver moat]

.rtfm embed.timestamp

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Embed.timestamp

[limber urchin]

So what do you think this does?

[young bone]

Do you know how to search at the docs?

[thorny kindle]

I dont have that?

[limber urchin]

What makes you believe that's a parameter of set_author? Thats just an attribute

[thorny kindle]

Idk

[thorny kindle]

How would i make this disable? I cant have the 2 interaction.reponse. with it but without it it wont disable. If i remove the edit one it wont disable, If i remove the send one the interaction fails as it has nothing to edit.

    @discord.ui.button(label="Server IP", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji='🎈')
    async def servip_callback(self, button, interaction):

        embed.set_footer(text='Lightbulb MC')
        button.disabled = True 
        button.label = "No more pressing!"

might this be a bug?

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.SelectOption.default

[full basin]

Ah cool. I was looking at the Select menu itself not selectoptions

Do I have to init a new view class? Or can I just edit self.options?

[proud mason]

Wait does that mean i can pre select options in a select menu and send it?

[silver moat]

either should work

How can i hide/remove the message? Thats my ErrorHandler.

[sage bear]

do bots need to be verified to do this?

[proven mantle]

No

[proud mason]

Wow nice

[proud mason]

No. That's oauth2

[proud mason]

Can you show how you import commands

[proven mantle]

from discord.ext import commands

The function works. i get the embed

But it also prints the error

[proud mason]

Also, add a print statement at the end of your error handler, and print type(error)

[proud mason]

Ohh

Hmm. Nope idk sorry

[young bone]

I would not do stuff like that...

[sage bear]

yea

is it against tos?

[proud mason]

No it is completely valid

[sage bear]

i don’t plan on doing it it’s just the one i took a ss of

[sage bear]

we need a domain?

[proven mantle]

You can also use a ip or localhost

Thats what i do. But you should change that in production

[uncut current]

so I got a small question, shouldn't this

client = DragonBot(
    command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned,

start the bot as the yellow presence icon?
it starts with the green presence...

[young bone]

DragonBot?

did you import it like that?

this would do it?

tried but my problem is not fixed yet

yeah i also need a code example of unpack_audio()

The docs imply that it's receiving audio data from a voice channel but it is taking in bytes received as an argument?

Use interaction.response.edit_message

And send the server ip response as a follow up

[thorny kindle]

Alright

[solemn idol]

.tag partial

[winter condor]

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 -

• Partial Messageable (analogus to a Channel) : https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable
• Partial Message (analogous to a Message): https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.PartialMessage

Example Usage:

async def star_message(channel_id: int, message_id: int):

    # Get Partial Messageable object. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_partial_messageable
    partial_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(channel_id)

    # 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)

    # Add a reaction
    await partial_message.add_reaction(":star:")

        report_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(1081907386928857109)

[silver moat]

use

await bot.fetch_channel(id_here)

then

[fervent cradle]

RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

lmao

wait

I forgot to add await at first, but this is what I get after using what you said:

I updated aiohttp, but still get the same error

Is there anything wrong with the code?

report_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(1081907386928857109)
await report_channel.send(embed=report)

hm what's this? #discussion message

[proud mason]

Not related to sending msgs

[fervent cradle]

okay

[proud mason]

It's about partial messages in partial channel

[fervent cradle]

so how do i fix my issue?

[proud mason]

Can you recreate this with a basic bot? One that only has on ready event and maybe a command

Try sending using partial messageable in either on ready or in the cmd

[fervent cradle]

lmao it works

but not when i try to send the message to a specific channel via a modal's callback

Code:

class ReasonInput(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Enter Reason", style=discord.InputTextStyle.long))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        # Success message
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed = discord.Embed(description=f"**The [selected message]({msg.jump_url}) has been successfully reported to the moderators!**", color=0x2B2D31), ephemeral=True)
        # Sending the report to mods
        global report
        report = discord.Embed(
            title = f"A new message has been reported by {reporter.name}!",
            description = f"{msg_author.mention}'s message has been reported by {reporter.mention}.\n**Member:** {msg_author} [`{msg_author.id}`]",
            color = 0xf95e5e
        )
        report.set_author(name="New report has been submitted")
        report.add_field(name="Reported Message:", value=f"[Jump to message]{msg.jump_url}")
        report.add_field(name="Reason:", value=f"{self.children[0].value}")
        report_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(1081907386928857109)
        await report_channel.send(embed=report)```

anything wrong?

[proud mason]

oh hmm

[young bone]

Does it still happend if you remove the global report?

[proud mason]

yea try sending a simple hi message

[fervent cradle]

yes

also i need to make the global embed var since I had to customize the embed outside of the class & function lol

[fervent cradle]

That's what I did, it sent the message once the bot was logged in (on_ready())

[proud mason]

hmm. i meant in the modal

Without the embed

[fervent cradle]

no doesn't work

same error

[fervent cradle]

does anyone have a example of cogs and using different files for different commands

[fervent cradle]

You can find cog example in the guide

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs#getting-started

[fervent cradle]

@proud mason Have you found a solution?

[young bone]

Well... at the end you have to do it at your own

can you do fetch_channel?

[proud mason]

Wait hold up

Where did you define bot...

Don't define another bot object in the file

Use interaction.client

[young bone]

^

[fervent cradle]

so, something like this?

class aCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot 
    async def on_ready():
        print(f"Logged in as {interaction.client.user}!")```

[young bone]

eh

what?

Do you know what we are talking about?

[proud mason]

Uh no.

[proud mason]

I meant the interaction you receive here in the callback parameters

.rtfm interaction.client

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Interaction.client

[proud mason]

Returns the bot object

[fervent cradle]

What's the difference between user_command & message_command?

[fervent cradle]

Okay, anyways, is it a good practice to use discord.Bot() object in a cog file?

[errant crane]

Here's the button roles example.

[errant crane]

Here's the modal dialogs example.

[proud mason]

you mean defining another bot instance in the cog file? no. thats not how it works

to access the bot instance, you always use self.bot

[proud mason]

user cmd is what you get when you right click on the user, while msg cmd is what you get when you right click on the message

user cmd sends the user object, while msg cmd sends the msg object

[limber urchin]

Then say that, and explain what's not working. We can't just guess what your issue is.

[gaunt junco]

having some issues running my bot on replit, despite having installed the requisite dev version

this is the version that my actual machine displays

[fervent cradle]

send the code

[gaunt junco]

the only line that currently returns an error is the bot = discord.Bot() command
should i send everything subsequent?

[fervent cradle]

sure

[gaunt junco]

it functions properly on my actual machine
trying to host it permanently on replit

[fervent cradle]

Yeah, replit occurs error sometimes for no reason idk why

Also replit isn't a good option for hosting

[gaunt junco]

import discord
from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageFont
from PIL import ImageDraw
import asyncio
from keep_alive import keep_alive # flask script to host the bot on a web server

bot = discord.Bot()

# [commands and such]

TOKEN = "the thing"

keep_alive()
bot.run(TOKEN)

[fervent cradle]

Replit isn't a hosting platform, it is a browser IDE like vscode

[gaunt junco]

im aware
but it can be exploited using uptime robot for free 24/7 hosting

[fervent cradle]

bruh

it sucks

[blissful hazel]

it will ban you for that

[fervent cradle]

very poor performance

[blissful hazel]

it has

[gaunt junco]

the bot is only for a few friends and I

[fervent cradle]

Doesn't matter

[gaunt junco]

i was considering purchasing a raspberry pi but even the zero 2 w has inflated 10x of its msrp

[young bone]

?tag norepl

[obtuse junco]

Why NOT to use Repl as a hosting platform

You should not use Repl.it to host your bot.
It may be a nice option as its "free" but you should use something else considering the major flaws.

• The machines are super underpowered.
• • This means your bot will lag a lot as it gets bigger.
• You'll need a web server alongside your bot to prevent it from being shut off.
• • This isn't a trivial task, and eats more of the machines power.
• Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.
• • This means any file you saved via your bot will be overwritten when you next launch.

IMPORTATNT

• They use a shared IP for everything running on the service.
  This one is important - if someone is running a user bot on their service and gets banned, everyone on that IP will be banned. Including you.

Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.

If you're looking for free options, consider using AWS/Google Cloud Platform/Azure and its respective free tiers or just pay for an actual VPS.

[fervent cradle]

I used to host a bot via uptime & it became offline every 5 mins

[gaunt junco]

is there any free alternative i can utilize
i dont see the reason to pay a subscription to aws or azure
but i dont want my data stolen by the random conceal hosting discord server
sorry im really new to bot development

[young bone]

And if you buy a Raspberry Pi?

I use a Raspberry Pi to host my Bot

[limber urchin]

Railway.app or Oracle Free Tier

[gaunt junco]

it's $150 for the zero 2 w, which was initially $15
all associated sellers are out of stock
i just dont see the reason of making such a substantial investment for a trival bot that is meant to just have some humorous commands my friends can tinker with

[gaunt junco]

ty!!

[limber urchin]

Or just find a cheap hosting provider like Vultr, DigitalOcean or GalaxyGate

[thorny kindle]

Tried this with interaction.responce.send_message and interaction.send_message and both did not work. They disable the buttons now but at the cost of the message not sending.

    @discord.ui.button(label="Server IP", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji='🎈')
    async def servip_callback(self, button, interaction):
        embed = discord.Embed(title='Server IP', description='To play on the server, Use the version **1.19.3** and the IP: play.lightbulbmc.xyz', color=discord.Color.green())
        embed.set_footer(text='Lightbulb MC')
        button.disabled = True 
        button.label = "No more pressing!" 
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        await interaction.responce.send_message(embed=embed)

[full basin]

I told you to use a follow up

Response.send_message is not a folleoup

[thorny kindle]

Oh?

[full basin]

interaction.followup.send

[thorny kindle]

Alr

[young bone]

could you not also just use interaction.channel.send?

[full basin]

I guess

A followup will look like a reply

While channel.send is the plain message

[thorny kindle]

Alright, Working now. Thanks alot!

[fervent cradle]

Hey, how do I host by railway?

[limber urchin]

🤷‍♂️

[storm oyster]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8W4kiy20xps

Pretty simple tbh

[fervent cradle]

what a helper

[thorny kindle]

How would i use discord.ButtonStyle.link?

[limber urchin]

I'm a helper for pycord buddy, not railway

[limber urchin]

The button needs to have a url

[thorny kindle]

I tried adding url='google.com' into it but that just crashed my bot lol

@discord.ui.button(label="Store", style=discord.ButtonStyle.link, url='google.com')

[limber urchin]

Try changing it to https://www.google.com

[fervent cradle]

You could've sent the video that jiggly sent at least couldn't you.

[thorny kindle]

Ok

[limber urchin]

I didn't feel like spending time on looking up a YouTube video that you could have easily found yourself if you weren't lazy

Sometimes you have to do things yourself, shocker, I know

[thorny kindle]

@discord.ui.button(label="Store", style=discord.ButtonStyle.link, url='https://www.google.com') crashed it too

[limber urchin]

Are you getting any error messages?

[thorny kindle]

yea

  File "/home/container/main.py", line 151, in <module>
    class HelpCommand(discord.ui.View):
  File "/home/container/main.py", line 165, in HelpCommand
    @discord.ui.button(label="Store", style=discord.ButtonStyle.link, url='https://www.google.com')
TypeError: button() got an unexpected keyword argument 'url'

[limber urchin]

Then show those too

Oh, the decorator doesn't take a url?

[thorny kindle]

ig so

I tried link='' too but that didnt work too

[limber urchin]

I dunno then, guess you have to create the button without the decorator

[full basin]

Url buttons don't have a callback

So the decorator doesn't take a url kwarg lol

[limber urchin]

Oh yeah, right. Makes sense

[limber urchin]

Correction, you do have to create the button without it

[thorny kindle]

OK. How would i add the link?

[limber urchin]

You create the button through a class instance instead and add it to the view

the class init takes a url kwarg

[thorny kindle]

So add it to this bit then?

class HelpCommand(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=60)

[limber urchin]

Yes

[thorny kindle]

Ok, Where would i add it? Next to timeout?

[full basin]

With the add_item method

[thorny kindle]

Ok.

[full basin]

Below the super init

[thorny kindle]

How would i use it? Ive searched it on the pycord docs and it doenst show any examples of it

[limber urchin]

Just create an instance of the button class and add it using add_item

You don't need an example for that if you know basic OOP

[hybrid flower]

hi can I define My Guild Class that extends from discord.Guild, and make the bot can use My Guild Class to instantiate guild entity?

[limber urchin]

Sure, why not?

[red geyser]

Im getting this error when trying to use slash commands

[young bone]

What is the py-cord Version?

[red geyser]

py-cord==2.4.0

its throwing the error because of this line if current_race is not None and int(current_race['date'][3:-2].replace(':', '')) <= current_time:

[limber urchin]

That line isn't even in the code you sent

[proud mason]

lmao

[fervent cradle]

How do I delete the button when the button is pressed?

[mild sigil]

Can someone help me understand why this for loop isn't working?

    @commands.slash_command(guild_ids=testingServers, description="Display Weekly Options")
    async def weekly(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        view = discord.ui.View(timeout=20)
        row = 0
        but_count = 0
        for mode_standard in weekly_modes:
            view.add_item(WeeklyButtonMain(mode_standard, row))
            but_count += 1
            if but_count <= 4:
                row += 1
                but_count = 0

The button count variable gets reset to 0 each time through. Do I need another for loop inside to loop through?
weekly_modes has 8 string variables.

[proud mason]

Do you have only a single button? If so then edit the message and pass view=None

[proud mason]

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve

[limber urchin]

You're checking if but_count is less than 4, which it will always be because it's 0

[mild sigil]

I'm an idiot, thank you

Very, very quick question

How do I have an option in a command

Like this for example

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[livid wolf]

thanks

[leaden relic]

any reason why

await interaction.response.send_message(f"{discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.roles, name='Member').mention}")```
is not pinging the role? just mentioning it?

[limber urchin]

If the bot doesn't have permission to mention the role, or the role isn't mentionable it won't ping it

[uncut current]

is it possible to print out the guild where this error

If I respond to a comment with a bot command, what information can I glean from the original comment?

[solemn idol]

@grizzled sentinel (I am not sure if you want to keep getting pinged on this if not, I apologize I wont anymore in the future.)
So anyway I still haven't resolved the issue with the loading of extensions, I have tried not loading a specific extension in my cog loader:

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'): # Loads all files (*.py)
    if filename.endswith('.py') and filename != 'developer.py':
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}') # Loads the file without ".py" for example: cogs.fun
        print(colorama.Fore.BLUE + f'Loaded : {filename[:-3]}')

the bot did as expected not see the cog. But then when I loaded it, (it gave me a confirmation it loaded) it would still not see the cog at all no commands in it nothing.
My help command raised an error then too;

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

Because obviously it had not found the command it wanted to mention.

Soo, my suspicion is that indeed it has something to do with the discord synching. But how am I supposed to sync that so damn fast so it can even be mentioned with .mention on my help embed?

I just did some testing and as it turns out, the bot itself notices the extension is being unloaded but the /commands are still not synced with discord... so the question still remains.

The Question:

"how am I supposed to sync my commands so damn fast so it can even be mentioned with .mention on my help embed after I have loaded the cog in?"
It has to do something with synching. But what I still don't understand is how can a not loaded command (because the cog isn't loaded) still be called?
If I were to shutdown my bot no command would work anymore, it would just say interaction failed to respond, so why does it still respond after having unloaded the entire cog with the command which shouldn't be callable?

Ty for reading, sorry x2 for the ping if it's annoying you.

I printed the command names to see if the bot would actually see them while being unloaded / loaded

[grizzled sentinel]

The ping is fine. Can you run this code before and after loading/unloading a cog. Tell me the output
print(sum(1 for _ in bot.walk_application_commands()))

[solemn idol]

So like this;

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'): # Loads all files (*.py)
    if filename.endswith('.py') and filename != 'developer.py':
        print(sum(1 for _ in bot.walk_application_commands())) # Temporary test command
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}') # Loads the file without ".py" for example: cogs.fun
        print(sum(1 for _ in bot.walk_application_commands())) # Temporary test command

? or do you mean in the unloading / loading command I made extra?

[solemn idol]

this gives me the output of:

0
0
0
Loaded : backdoor
0
0
Loaded : database_handler
0
0
Loaded : fun
0
0
Loaded : utility

[grizzled sentinel]

Try it in the loading command

[solemn idol]

red is when I did unload blue is where I loaded

so 34 and 27 are from unloading
and 27 and 34 were from loading

[grizzled sentinel]

Hmm. So the bot does think it is removing the commands. Im not sure why they are still working. That tells me that there migfht be a bug deep within the lib.

How sure are you that you do not have another bot running at the same time

[solemn idol]

Because when I kill the application I can do /help it first wont respond and after a few minutes the bot status goes offline

[grizzled sentinel]

👍 I will take a look at the libraries unload code in a bit.

[solemn idol]

Yeah I had a friend of mine who uses discord.py try the same and for him it worked just fine he has support for both prefixed commands and slash commands but they basically do the same

[mild sigil]

If I reply to a message and give a bot command, can I pull the information from the original message like date-time, user/user-id, etc.? Is this a case of message reference or another class?

[grizzled sentinel]

You cannot reply to a message when using slash commands

[mild sigil]

:/

[red geyser]

Sorry, wrong command.

[hybrid flower]

I have defined the new guild class, and how to let the framework to use it when I call bot.get_guild, message.guild, channel.guild etc.

[limber urchin]

The only way to do that would be to override the method in your bot instance subclass, which I wouldn't really recommend. I would probably just make your the take a guild object as a parameter and extend upon that instead.

[limber urchin]

You have a command and a global variable called current_race. That's a really bad idea

Those names are going to conflict and you have no way to predict what the code will do, use better naming

[tiny spire]

This code:

[errant crane]

Here's the slash groups example.

[tiny spire]

thx

[fallen cove]

is there a way to hide slash commands so only dm slash commands show in DMs and guild commands in guilds?

[silver moat]

There's a guild-only, but no DM-only.

[fallen cove]

is it possible for DM-only or limitation from discord?

[silver moat]

the latter

[fallen cove]

ah

i have an issue with slash commands disappearing and ideas?

[young bone]

any errors?

[fallen cove]

nope, the commands isnt there at all

some are there

[silver moat]

Some common causes are Discord client issues or multiple bot instances.

[fallen cove]

not got multipe instances i dont think

[fallen cove]

and multiple people have the same issue

[silver moat]

Well, we're being super vague and all so what are the exact steps that it takes for the commands to disappear?

and then you don't respond...

[tiny spire]

So I have this python command that checks for a few permissions:

    @admin.slash_command(description="Clears all messages.")
    @has_permissions(manage_channels=True, manage_messages=True)
    async def purge(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):
      await Messages.purge(ctx, channel)```
How do I make it return a message if the user doesn't have the required permissions?

and is it possible to have commands such as this one invisible to specific users?

[silver moat]

You don't "return" a message. You send a message. You can use the on_application_command_error event to handle errors.

[silver moat]

You can set default permissions on the bot side, but these permissions can be overridden by server admins: @discord.default_permissions

Sorry if I'm annoying but in that website it says bot = discord.Bot() but when I try to run it I get an error saying line 6, in <module> bot = discord.Bot() AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

[proud mason]

uninstall py-cord, discord.py and any other discord related libraries. and then reinstall py-cord

    await channel.send(embed=embed)
    await ctx.respond('t')

[young bone]

Read the error

[thorny kindle]

I have

But no matter what i do it wont start. Ive tried getting it under the async bit. It appears to be but the bot doesnt think so.

This is what that bit looks like. Its under the ): from async and in the correct column. But its saying its not. Ive tried deleting it back to the last line then pressing enter on it.

nvm, Fixed lol

[thorny kindle]

How would i make a command only be used by a role without using has_guild_permission?

[young bone]

has_role

[thorny kindle]

Ok. Would i put the role ID after then?

[young bone]

name or id

[thorny kindle]

Ok

[young bone]

or just both xd

[young bone]

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

[thorny kindle]

How would i use it?

@commands.has_role('718080067032449124'=True)

Ive tried without the '', With the ''. Role name, Without =True, With = true lol.

Got it

forgot about int()

[limber urchin]

Why would you need int()?

Why not just pass at as an int initially?

[young bone]

if you use numbers you dont have to use int()?

[thorny kindle]

Idk, Didnt work without the int. Works with it lol

@commands.has_role(int('718080067032449124'))

[young bone]

remove int() and ' '

[thorny kindle]

Oh, its working lol

oh i see

is that how youre supposed to use getenv?

i am not familiar with it

[crystal fjord]

Thats what I saw on https://guide.pycord.dev/getting-started/creating-your-first-bot

[proud mason]

dont leak your bots token 💀

please reset it

[crystal fjord]

Dont worry it's not my real one

[tired goblet]

youre supposed to define it in the env file

youre doing it in the code

might as well just do client.run(TOKEN)

[proud mason]

yea os.getenv(TOKEN) will get it from the environment variables

[tired goblet]

@proud mason

[proud mason]

yea its wrong ig

does it error?

[tired goblet]

do we need to make an issue for it?

[proud mason]

(it should ig)

[tired goblet]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: Embed.add_field() got an unexpected keyword argument 'title'``` yeah

[proud mason]

mhm. or you could make a pr

yea it should be name

You can also just paste it in the code or use json or something else ^^

what?

why title at add_field()?

oh it was in the guide

aye, thanks

[tired goblet]

right

[tired goblet]

is it possible to have each field be displayed in a new line?

[young bone]

take a look at the end of the screenshot at the add_field

[tired goblet]

do you mean inline?

[young bone]

ye

[tired goblet]

nah it doesn't seem to be working

[young bone]

have you tried False?

[tired goblet]

oh i haven't tried False

[tired goblet]

did the trick, thanks!

but doesn't it default to false if i don't define it? so how is defining it to false different?

[proud mason]

It could be defaulting to True

i dont remember

[tired goblet]

oh

[limber urchin]

That is very basic Python, you should know the difference between a string and an int.

How would i make it so i only need 1 of the roles to execute a command from a list of roles?

Figured it out, used or

[full basin]

Because you're not passing the view again?

[lime lotus]

a modal's callback() is called when it's data is submitted. is there some event when the modal is closed without submission of data, other than timeout?

[fervent cradle]

?

[full basin]

You have to edit the message with the new view

[fervent cradle]

hm?

[full basin]

...

Literally what I said. You have to edit the message passing the view again

[proud mason]

Unfortunately no. discord doesnt send that

[green hinge]

Is there an advantage to sending my views with my select menus as a response instead of a message?

[proud mason]

yes. interaction.response doesnt have any ratelimits

(interaction.followup does have them tho)

[green hinge]

What does ratelimits mean exactly?

[proud mason]

ratelimits are a way for discord to stop bots (and even users) from spamming the discord infrastructure with lots of requests. if many users decided you use your bot at the same time, your bot could send even hundreds of requests in a very short time. to stop discord's servers and databases from overloading, it ratelimits you. meaning you are blocked from sending requests for a short time

frequent ratelimits can even get your bot banned from discord

interaction.response doesnt have any ratelimits

so using that instead of other ways can reduce your chance of getting ratelimited

[green hinge]

Ah okay and response does not have the limits because they are only active for 15 minutes anyway right?

[proud mason]

interaction.response is only for 3 seconds tbh

the interaction itself or interaction followup is for 15 mins

[green hinge]

If I send a view with a select menu with interaction.response then the select menu is active for 15 minutes or not?

[proud mason]

select menu can be active for eternity too

(if timeout is None)

[green hinge]

So the select menu would always be active or?

await interaction.response(view=TestView())

class TestView(discord.ui.View):
   def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(await Farbe(self.bot), timeout=None)

class Farbe(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=farbe) for farbe in ['Green','Blue','Red']
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle die Farbe aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        ) 

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      await interaction.response(self.values[0])```

[proud mason]

yes it would be

[green hinge]

response = interaction.response I can cache just like message = interaction.channel.send or?
And then I can also use response.edit instead of message.edit or?

[lime lotus]

thanks for letting me know

[proud mason]

not like that. if you want to get the message object of thee response you sent using await interaction.response.send_message(), you can get it from await interaction.original_response()

if you only want to edit or delete, await interaction.edit_original_response and await interaction.delete_riginal_response

[green hinge]

Can I also add several select menus one after the other in a view and also access the individual select menus afterwards to be able to edit them?

[green hinge]

Which is the better option?

await interaction.message.edit(view=self.view)```
Or 
```py
await self.view.message.edit(view=self.view)```
?

[young bone]

what?

[green hinge]

I add a second select menu to my view after selecting something in the first one.
What is the best way to update the view so that the second select menu is also displayed?

[gleaming falcon]

Getting confused on message references within a View.
User invokes command and gets a confirmation with a button. The button creates a response that I can delete using delete_original_response(), but how do I access the original message that the View is attached to so I can delete that?

interaction.message.delete() isn't it.

Ah. self.message.delete()

[green hinge]

If I add 2 more select menus to a view with one select menu and then change something in the first one. How can I reset the other two?
How can I simply reset self.view.children[1] so that no selection is made and the normal placeholder is displayed?

[radiant pewter]

Trying to have a command that reloads my cogs and resyncs them after. After searching for a while I found bot.sync_commands() but it doesn't seem to work

my code: ```py
@bot.slash_command(name="reload", description="Reloads the Gameserver Cog")
async def reload(ctx):
if commands.is_owner == False:
await ctx.respond("You are not the owner of this bot!",ephemeral=True)
return
try:
bot.reload_extension("cogs.gameservers")
await bot.sync_commands(delete_existing=True)
except Exception as e:
await ctx.respond(f"Error while reloading Gameserver Cog: {e}",ephemeral=True)
return
await ctx.respond("Reloaded Gameserver Cog",ephemeral=True)

Error:

400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In 2: Application command names must be unique

Did I miss anything obvious? (I know delete_existing is True by default ignore that)

[young bone]

and if you do without it?

[green hinge]

Is there a better way than deleting the children and adding them again?

self.view.remove_item(self.view.children[1])
            self.view.add_item(await BuchstabeFisch(self.bot, self.spotdaten, self.message_collection))
            self.view.remove_item(self.view.children[2])
            self.view.add_item(await Fisch(self.bot, self.spotdaten, self.message_collection))
            await self.view.message.edit(view=self.view)```

[radiant pewter]

Without sync_commands? Deleted commands stay and timeout and new commands dont show up, tried refreshing discord with ctrl + r but that didnt change anything either

[grizzled sentinel]

Are you on the latest version?
Can you split reload into unload and load. There have been some bugs with loading/unloading cogs with slash commands i think the root of the problem is in pycord.

[radiant pewter]

If there hasn't been an update in the last 2 days then yes.

I already tried using splitting it, same error

[radiant pewter]

and without sync_commands that problem persists

[grizzled sentinel]

I'm not sure than I can try to look into it over the next few days but I hope a core dev can try and work out the bug.

[radiant pewter]

Sounds like quick help ain't fitting and I should create a Thread haha, anything else that could be the error on my end? I started using python/pycord like 3 days ago so that could very well be the case aswell

[green hinge]

Is there a better way to check and reset the 2 other select menus here?
I have the feeling that my approach is not quite optimal, although it works like this. 🤔

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        if len(self.view.children) > 1:
            for i, children in enumerate(self.view.children):
                name = children.__class__
                self.view.remove_item(self.view.children[i])
                self.view.add_item(await name(self.bot, self.spotdaten, self.message_collection))
            await self.view.message.edit(view=self.view)
        else:
            self.spotdaten.gewaesser = self.values[0]
            self.view.add_item(await BuchstabeFisch(self.bot, self.spotdaten, self.message_collection))
            self.placeholder = self.values[0]
            await self.view.message.edit(view=self.view)
        await interaction.response.defer()```

[proud mason]

It is the same. Won't matter

[solemn idol]

been having issues with loading cogs too, might be a bug ig. ;P

[grizzled sentinel]

I am trying to read the code but I am not sure if I understand it all. Plus command registration/callbacks is like the core of the lib XD. I will try my best.

[green hinge]

How many select menus can be added to a view?

[young bone]

I would say 25 like buttons?

[fallen cove]

sorry, i went to bed was 12am

[green hinge]

Okay i will try 🙂

If I have a select menu in my view and call the modal there in the callback function. Do I have to pass the view so that I can add a button to the view in the callback function of the modal or is the modal automatically in the view like the select menu?

await interaction.response.send_modal(AddSpot(self.bot, interaction.channel, self.spotdaten))```

Can I add an embed to a view so that the sequence is Select Menu -> Embed -> Select Menu or is that not possible?

[rare ice]

Not possible

[dense gorge]

Not possible. The sequence is always Text -> Embed -> View.

Question: when making a Select of type user_select, how does one filter the users added as options?

[rare ice]

You can’t.

Discord does that for you

You can’t customize channel or user selects

[dense gorge]

I don't want every gdamn user added...sigh.

[rare ice]

[dense gorge]

Alright, back to the old string Selects.

I suppose.

[green hinge]

Okay so I am forced to use two views, in the first view a select menu and in the second view the embed + second select menu or?

[rare ice]

Explain what you want

Select menus can send messages

So you can have a select menu interaction send an embed

If that’s what you want

You’re not being very clear

[smoky forge]

id like to know whats up with this

[green hinge]

I have a select menu. When I select something in it, I call a modal in the callback function where I can enter a number. After sending the modal I check in the callback function of the modal if the format and the input is correct or not.
If the input is wrong, an embed should appear where it says error and below it should be a button with "re-enter".
But if the input is correct, an embed should appear with the value, below it a button "Change entry" and below it the next select menu.

Unfortunately I can't put the embed in the view of the first select menu which would show a clean picture because a new response is not sent and the botname is in there again. I am then forced to create a new view with the embed and all other content or?

[rare ice]

Read the error

[smoky forge]

There's no reason for it to do that tho?

[rare ice]

Send an embed with interaction.response.send_message

.rtfm discord.Interaction.response.send_message

discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[smoky forge]

The message gets sent in the forum channel, hook_msg has an ID attribute yet somehow the message doesn't exist

[green hinge]

Yes and there I can also send a view that contains the button and depending on the next select menu.

But for this I need a new view and can not use the already existing view from the first select menu.

And I have the bot name above the message so that it is not quite clean what can not be avoided but with respons, not as with Message.send or?

[smoky forge]

@rare ice

:/

I seem to be getting this error when I return a normal string to get_prefix when doing custom prefixes:

Well it looks like get_prefix expects a coroutine, otherwise it wouldn't be awaiting it. Change it to async def get_prefix

[rare ice]

Oh ok

Thanks

author_voice = ctx.author.voice
print("1")
voice_client = await author_voice.channel.connect()
print ("2")```
I execute this code in the callback of a slash command. The await VoiceChannel.connect() function I run does not seem to finish execution. The bot joins the channel as desired but this function does not stop execution, and hence the code thereafter does not execute. In the console, I see the output `1` printed before I call this function, not `2` which I print afterwards. All intents are enabled. Any idea why this could be occurring?

was someone able to display svg images in discord?

hey does anyone knoes hoe to install nltk in python?

[opaque cloak]

when calling the command, the console should show a line that contains the name of the argument (that is, the command itself) and its passed parameter if the command has it, but I can’t figure out how to get this parameter, can someone help with this?

@bot.event
async def on_application_command_completion(context):
    print("_________________")
    print(">on_application_command")

    command = context.command  #get command object
    args = command.options  # get a list of arguments
    args = [f'{o.name}: {o.value}' for o in args]

    args_str = ' '.join(args)  # form a string in the format 'argument_name: argument_value'
    print(f'Called command {command.name} with arguments: {args_str}')```

[green hinge]

It is a modal. Does anyone have a better idea how to edit the embed and the button accordingly or does the whole thing look fine already?
Maybe there is a better solution that someone here has?

[solemn idol]

How do I make a command with options like these?

Or at least what do I use to make these? Because I have no idea what they are called.

[silver moat]

choices

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[solemn idol]

thank you :)

[young bone]

If its more than 25 you have to use autocomplete

[solemn idol]

autocomplete?

I have been using Option instead of option so far. Now that I see how simple option is I will probably just use that

[green hinge]

When I send a response I can't prevent the bot name from reappearing and not the messages being directly below each other like when I send a message, can I?

[proud mason]

You would need to use interaction.channel.send instead of response or followup

[green hinge]

But don't I have the problem you explained yesterday with the ratelimits?

[proud mason]

Yes lol

Can't have best of both worlds

[cerulean yarrow]

where can i see the possible interactions for a button? I only know how to edit and send a message as interaction

[green hinge]

Okay but a mixture of both then I think makes sense. I think I need only 5x channel.send that should then yes no problems I think or?
I will do the rest with response

for a button, you only really have 4. send message, edit msg, send modal, defer

[cerulean yarrow]

it is possible to make more than one interaction?, for example: a command that creates a voice channel for you, when you click on the button it edits the message confirming that the channel was created and creates the channel

[proud mason]

creating a channel isnt an "interaction response". it is a normal api call. so the only real response there would be editing the message if i understand correctly

[cerulean yarrow]

but how to create the channel when the person clicks on the button if it is not possible to use ctx

this lol

[cerulean yarrow]

it worked, thanks 🙂

[green hinge]

I send after each other about 30 select menus, if I do the whole thing with channel.send() and many users use the function at the same time, do I get problems with the ratelimits?
And does it also count to the ratelimits if I edit a view? With self.view.message.edit ?

[proud mason]

yes for both

ratelimits is a potential problem. you shouldnt worry about it too much if your bot is small/private

[green hinge]

So if I send something with interaction.response.send_message and then edit the sent view with self.view.message.edit(view=self.view) I shouldn't get any problems with the ratelimits or?

[proud mason]

you wouldnt face ratelimit issues with the sending, but you could face it while editing

if you hit ratelimits quite often then you can ask discord to increase the limit for you lol

[silver moat]

shared hosts may also have something to do with ratelimits

[green hinge]

I can't do the editing any other way, can I?
And how do I know that I reach the limit ? Do I receive a message?

[silver moat]

You receive an error when trying to do whatever your action is.

[green hinge]

Okay and how many things do you have to edit to get to that limit or what is it in general?

[cyan quail]

just

do it

if you hit ratelimits it will tell you

ratelimits are dynamic so most of the time we can't really tell you how much it will take to hit them

[green hinge]

Okay

[green hinge]

Can I also edit a response without affecting the ratelimits?

[silver moat]

only if you are doing that as a "response" to the interaction

[green hinge]

Can I send a message:
await interaction.response.send_message(view=view)
And then I have to send this message with
edit_original_response()?

[solemn idol]

Ok I might be stupid but why does this not work?

If I print the for loop, it prints out a list just fine. I tried putting it as a string or list... but I have got no clue what I am doing wrong.
any help is appreciated.

[proud mason]

Mutable function parameter defaults (like lists, dicts) are generated when the files is loaded, not when the function is called

This is a python limitation

You would need to use autocomplete

[solemn idol]

Ah okay that makes sense, I'm not entirely sure what you mean with autocomplete tho- :I

[proud mason]

Slash cmds don't seem to be working for me rn. Check out the autocomplete example on GitHub

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[proud mason]

Got it

[solemn idol]

Ah okay, thanks

[proud mason]

Autocomplete is a way to dynamically load option choice for users

It is infact the only way to do it

[thorny kindle]

How can i define client with my bot?

count it i think

Ran into another problem :/

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    channel = client.get_channel(1029735220938801253)
    print(f'Message from {message.author}: {message.content}')
    await channel.send(f'Message from {message.author}: {message.content}')

Whats "NoneType"?

[thorny kindle]

Better image

[young bone]

That is basic python error ;3
