Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[silver moat]

What do you want to happen? Could you provide an example?

[errant vale]

I have a function that returns a bunch of strings and integers that change every hour so it has to be called alongside the slash command. The slash command has an embed in it that then displays all that data

Could i put it below the decorator so that its called when the command is recieved but before the slash command?

[silver moat]

?tag botvar

[obtuse junco]

Need to keep track of a variable between functions? No problem!

⚠️ Careful what you name it though, else you might overwrite something ⚠️

Just add it to your commands.Bot or discord.Client instance like so:

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.my_variable = 0

async def foo():
    bot.my_variable += 1

# In a cog
@commands.command()
async def counter(self,ctx):
    await ctx.send("Current Counter is at {}".format(ctx.bot.my_variable))

This also allows you to access this from other cogs/extensions/functions. Anywhere you have access to the bot instance

[errant vale]

Ah so id just run the function beforehand and change the variables to ones under the bot object

[silver moat]

yeah

[errant vale]

Ok cool

[night pollen]

Im using bot.reload_extension(f"cogs.{cog_name}") to reload a cog but its saying its not loaded while i can still use the commands in the cog. why is that? and how would i fix it?

[solemn idol]

it's a known library issue so far there haven't been any fixes, atleast not that I've heard of.

[night pollen]

ah alr

[errant vale]

are there certain disallowed variable names? this one doesnt seem to be assigning when i put it under the bot object bot.api_key = os.getenv("HYPIXEL_API_KEY")

oh nvm i read the error wrong sorry for ping

[errant vale]

for this command option here how would i make the list of members options? offline_ping_discord_tag:discord.Option(str, description="The Discord tag to be pinged when you go offline",choices=[]),

[errant vale]

members = [member.display_name for member in ctx.guild.members] offline_ping_discord_tag.choices = members doesnt seem to work

[desert path]

i think my issue got lost in chat 👀

[silver moat]

Just use discord.Option(discord.Member)

[silver moat]

This is because the choices are meant to be static, not dynamic.

If you are looking for dynamic choices, you can check out

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[errant vale]

im thinking of doing something like that also using minecraft name api that autocompletes as you tpye your name in

[desert path]

nvm i figured it out -_-

[proud mason]

Or just simply member: discord.Member

[errant vale]

so i can put that in choices?

[silver moat]

well, they still want the description attr

[proud mason]

Ah ok

[errant vale]

imma just ignore it fn until i reach the public stage

is there a way to make an interaction that is kinda like a form or ballot

i have a set of data that i need from the user and it would just be clunky to chuck it all in the /setup command as different fields with different choices

would https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/dropdowns be what im after?

[silver moat]

if it's multiple choice yeah

[errant vale]

im basically asking the user a bunch of attributes of a single item

they can click them

what data type does it return, and is there an example somewhere i can see of a working select menu?

[silver moat]

nothing better than trying it yourself.

[silver moat]

a string

or a list of strings

[errant vale]

a list of strings is preferable, id asssume thats when you have more than one choice selected when the user confirms?

[silver moat]

yeah

[errant vale]

i can just force it to be in a list no biggie

[errant vale]

how do i do math with variables that are under bot object

bot.actiontime = bot.base_action_time/15(1+(.18*bot.rising_celsius_scalar)+(.2*bot.flycatcher)+(.05*bot.minionexpanders)+bot.infusion_scalar+bot.beacon_scalar) makes the error j:\infernal addons\hypixelapi.py:205: SyntaxWarning: 'int' object is not callable; perhaps you missed a comma? bot.actiontime = bot.base_action_time/15(1+(.18*bot.rising_celsius_scalar)+(.2*bot.flycatcher)+(.05*bot.minionexpanders)+bot.infusion_scalar+bot.beacon_scalar)

oh turns out i just needed to add an asterisk to explicitly multiply the 15

[covert kayak]

intents=discord.Intents(65277)

Why does this return an error TypeError: Intents.__init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given? Without the number the bot won't be able to read messages in my server.

[young bone]

why did you enter a number?

[covert kayak]

Without the number the bot won't be able to read messages in my server.

The number is the number of intents

[young bone]

maybe add message intents?

?tag intents

[obtuse junco]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/intents.html
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#gateway-intents

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Get specific intents for fine control
intents = discord.Intents()
intents.emojis = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.messages = True  # Required for prefix commands!
...
# Get all non-priveliged intents; this excludes presences, members and message_content 
intents = discord.Intents.default()

# Set priveliged intents: these must be enabled on dev portal
intents.members = True
intents.presences = True
intents.message_content = True  # Required for prefix commands >= 2.0.0b5

# Get all intents; all intents must be enabled on dev portal.
intents = discord.Intents.all()

# Apply intents when creating your bot
bot = commands.bot(prefix="?", intents=intents)

[covert kayak]

Just yesterday this code worked fine

Now it keeps returning errors

😭

[solemn idol]

Traceback?

[covert kayak]

Usually when it runs there is going to be colored line like this

But now there is no more

[young bone]

which one do you use?

?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)

[covert kayak]

commands.Bot

[errant vale]

how come i cant use functions in slash commands

[young bone]

?

[errant vale]

async def embedsetup(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    await test()
    if hypergolic_sell_price != 0:
        await ctx.respond('embed variables set!')```  ```File "j:\infernal addons\main.py", line 393, in embedsetup

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

def test(): print("test")

[young bone]

lol

its really easy to see why its not working

[errant vale]

whats happening

[errant vale]

exception: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression functions dont have type so how can i get them to run

[young bone]

Im not sure if you know basic python

[errant vale]

im learning ive only had the course for 2 months

[young bone]

#help-rules

[errant vale]

ive made it really far

[proud mason]

discord.py has those coloured logs. py-cord doesnt

[proud mason]

you should uninstall dpy and other discord related libraries and reinstall py-cord

[errant vale]

i just cant seem to figure out why i speciffically cant run a function within a function if i put it in await

cuz its asynchronous

[proud mason]

test is not an async func

[young bone]

^

[proud mason]

you defined it with def, not async def

[errant vale]

oh that seems very obvious

[young bone]

Thats why you maybe should learn more Python first

[errant vale]

im almost done my bot

ive made a whole bunch of games

[covert kayak]

Why does from discord.ext import commands return an error

[young bone]

@covert kayak

[covert kayak]

I uninstalled discord.py

[young bone]

did you also uninstall and reinstall py-cord?

[covert kayak]

done

[young bone]

and close the terminal after it

[green hinge]

Can I customize the profile description of a user on my server via bot?

[young bone]

no?

[green hinge]

Okay too bad, thought that might work for the server because you can also change the nickname

[young bone]

you can only change the server nickname

the the user name

[green hinge]

Yes

[covert kayak]

ok I fixed it 🥳

Which one of these data structure should I use to have the best speed? I want to be able to retrieve both single data within a specified type and also all data regardless of type.

{
  "type 1": {
    "data 1": {...},
    "data 2": {...}
  },
  "type 2: {
    "data 3": {...},
    "data 4": {...}
  }
}

or

{
  "data 1": {"type": 1, ...},
  "data 2": {"type": 1, ...},
  "data 3": {"type": 2, ...},
  "data 4": {"type": 2, ...},
}

[proud mason]

i believe 1 should better

[hybrid flower]

subcommand of SlashCommandGroup, guild_ids parameter does not work?

[proud mason]

Yes. Guild ids, default permissions etc only work for parent cmd

Discord limitation

Cuz subcommands are just a different type slash cmd option for the parent cmd

[hybrid flower]

OK, I SEE

[fallen cove]

Any recommendations for getting a channel or category with a specific name so it would get the target even if it’s not in the cache

[proud mason]

no choice other than fetch guild and then utils.get

i dont recommended it tho, as fetch guild is slow and has high ratelimits

[hybrid flower]

if the guild_ids parameter contains a guild id that guild does not add the bot, the re-register act will all failed.

[proud mason]

❓ can you elaborate

[fallen cove]

I have that currently and it works in some servers and not in others. I’m guessing they’re not in the bot cache

[hybrid flower]

first time bot started with guild_ids=[1,2], its worked, second time with guild_ids=[1,3], but the guild with guild id 3 was not add the bot, so the command re-register to guild_ids 1,3 was failed with DISCORD Forbidden, but bot was running, and command still in guild 1,2

[proud mason]

fetch_guild + utils.get will work in any server

get_guild + utils.get may or may not

why not store the list of channels in a db?

[proud mason]

also, do you only want to send msgs or smth? if yes then use partial channels (.tag partial in #883236900171816970)

[hybrid flower]

In my expected thoughts, although guild with id 3 does not add the bot, register command to it failed, register to the other guild ids should not fail.

[jovial vapor]

How do I add commands in other files (or cogs) using slash commands ?

import discord
from TOKEN import TOKEN

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot))
    success(f"{bot.user} is ready and online!")

@bot.slash_command(name = "hello", description = "Say hello to the bot")
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Hey!")

bot.run(TOKEN) # run the bot with the token

With the commands extensions, I can add cogs without any problem, but how am I supposed to do using the slash commands ?

[young bone]

dont load the cog at "on_ready"

[jovial vapor]

Where should I load it then ? And how to add slash commands to the other file ? Sorry if this is a question that has been posted a hundred times, I've been coding bots when slash commands were not a thing yet and now I feel completely lost

[young bone]

just load them outside of "on_ready"

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

[proud mason]

you are missing app cmds scope. invite the bot again with it (no need to kick the bot)

[glad remnant]

Is there a way how to read uploaded csv file?

attachment: discord.Attachment

[proud mason]

that is an issue with how app cmds are registered. some devs are looking into a better way to deal with stuff

[proud mason]

uploaded using slash cmds?

[glad remnant]

Yessir

[proud mason]

i would read it and save it into a bytesio
smth like f = io.BytesIO(await attachment.read()) and then use the csv library to read the bytesio

[glad remnant]

Yeah reading that bytesIO is where I struggle

nvm got it

[night pollen]

How can i autocomplete with a list of members in a slash command? Tried alot and since i cant use ctx since its not defined outside the command function im kinda stuck.

[full basin]

Typehint discord.Member

[night pollen]

Yea i toguht of that but couldnt get it to work

ill try again tho

gimme a few

[tropic cradle]

Is it possible for a but to include a local video file in a message?

I my bot setup to have yt-dlp download a linked video and then respond with it but it posts as a file and isn't watchable. I'm thinking the answer is no, but it would be pretty cool to be wrong

[full basin]

?tag localfile

[obtuse junco]

f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)```

[proud mason]

Not embedding tho

[proud mason]

Yes it is possible. Just send it with discord.File like you would send any other image or song etc

[night pollen]

so i got to discord.Guild.members and a few other things that seemed like it would be helpfull to me but i got nothing to work, mind giving me another nudge in the right direction?

[proud mason]

Are you adding the right file extension to the filename?

Also, is the downloaded file playable directly on your pc?

[full basin]

Provide the code you're using

[full basin]

Oh

[night pollen]

    @commands.slash_command(name="ban", description="Ban a user")
    async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Option(str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(discord.Guild.members)),  reason):
        for member in ctx.guild.members:
            print(member)

dont mind what the command is doing, was just testing a bit

[tropic cradle]

Playable on pc, but the message is a link to the file

[full basin]

You're definitely making it complex. You just member: discord.Member

[proud mason]

Just use plain member: discord.Member typehint. Or try using discord.Option

If not that try the @option decorator. Else try SlashCommandOptionType

[full basin]

The library does all the job

[night pollen]

ah alr, thank salot

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[proud mason]

Can you show how you create the discord.File object and send it?

[night pollen]

yea no, nothing is loading in the autocompletion

[full basin]

Code again?

And show what you see

[tropic cradle]

file = discord.File("tiktok.mp4")
####


@bot.command(description="test")
@option("test", description="test")
async def test(ctx):

    await ctx.respond(file = file, ephemeral=True)

[night pollen]

    @commands.slash_command(name="ban", description="Ban a user")
    async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Member,  reason):
        for member in ctx.guild.members:
            print(member)

Sorry if i made a dumb mistake or something, havent wroked with python in a while.

2 sec ill get the ss

ok

wtf, i swear it didnt load

well it works now, thanks

[proud mason]

Hmm. Try creating the file inside the command

[tropic cradle]

It appears to be a codec issue, but I was about to give up thinking it wasn't possible so thank you for putting me on the right track!

[plush moat]

I'm struggling a bit with decorators

Say I have

@bot.slash_command(name="setbalance", guild_ids=[GUILD], description="tempDescription")
async def setbalance(ctx,
                  user: Option(discord.Member, required=False, description="tempDescription")):
```, and I'd want to run a functon before and after this using decorators

```py
def transactional(func):
    async def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        print("before func")
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
        print("after func")
        return result
    return wrapper

however, if I put it like

@transactional
@bot.slash_command(name="stats", guild_ids=[GUILD], description="Give stats across all orders")

the "before func" and "after func" doesn't get printed, and if I put it like

@bot.slash_command(name="stats", guild_ids=[GUILD], description="Give stats across all orders")
@transactional

it includes "**kwargs" as an argument I can pass to my bot's command

How would I best go about doing this?

[silver moat]

You can use the on_application_commands event

[plush moat]

ur an absolute legend

[proud mason]

even better, use @before_invoke and @after_invoke

[plush moat]

what's the differnece between @before_invoke @after_invoke vs @on_application_command @on_application_command_finish?

[proud mason]

before invoke actually halts the command from running until the function has executed

and before/after can be set different per command

[plush moat]

I see, so I'd do something like

@bot.slash_command(name="stats", guild_ids=[GUILD], description="Give stats across all orders")
@bot.before_invoke(setup)
@bot.after_invoke(cleanup)

for all the functions where that's relevant?

[proud mason]

you can even set those either for all cmds in the bot, for all cmds in the cog, all in the group or for a single cmd

[proud mason]

not like that

smth like

@bot.slash_command(...)
async def my_command(...):
    ...

@bot.slash_command(...)
async def your_command(...):
    ...

@my_command.before_invoke
@your_command.before_invoke
async def before(ctx)
    ...

.rtfm before_invoke

before/after invoke is there on many classes depending on where you want to do it

[plush moat]

That's great!

Tysm, I'm gonna look into it more. This sounds like exactly what I need

[plush moat]

So, if my bot instance is just called bot, if I want to cover all commands called,

@bot.before_invoke
async def before(ctx):
    readFromDisk()
    
@bot.after_invoke
async def after(ctx):
    writeToDisk()

Would do exactly that?

[proud mason]

yea looks right

[plush moat]

Sick! tysm, that has been stumping me for a few days now ^^

[viscid sluice]

Is it possible to change async def dice(self, ctx, bet_on: int = 6, amount: int): to async def dice(self, ctx, amount: int, bet_on: int = 6):? Because when I do that I get the error SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

[limber urchin]

No, just like the error says you can't have a non-default argument after a default one

And this isn't even correct Python syntax

[viscid sluice]

Isnt that somehow possible?

[viscid sluice]

Sorry I mistyped

[limber urchin]

No, how would that even work?

[viscid sluice]

I dont know thats why Im asking

[limber urchin]

To set a value on the amount parameter means you have to set a value on your bet_on parameter as well. Which means having a default value on bet_on is absolutely useless because you're always explicitly setting a value to it anyways.

It's an error for a reason

[viscid sluice]

This is the code for it is it possible to do it like this?

So flip bet_on and amount?

[limber urchin]

Yes?

[viscid sluice]

How?

[limber urchin]

By flipping them??

[viscid sluice]

But thats not possible

Then comes the error

[limber urchin]

._.

[viscid sluice]

So?

[limber urchin]

Then the error is from something else

[viscid sluice]

But you just said that it doesnt work

[limber urchin]

What?

I'm saying what you have right now doesn't work

[viscid sluice]

async def dice(self, ctx, bet_on: int = 6, amount: int): works but async def dice(self, ctx, amount: int, bet_on: int = 6): not

[limber urchin]

?????

[viscid sluice]

🥲

I want to flip bet_on and amount

async def dice(self, ctx, amount: int, bet_on: int = 6):

But then comes the error

[proud mason]

that is the correct way. what is the error?

[proud mason]

that doesnt make sense... 💀

its not possible

[viscid sluice]

So I cant do it like this?

[viscid sluice]

SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

[proud mason]

you have to do it like that

[proud mason]

full error and traceback? it could be coming from somewhere else

[viscid sluice]

But that doesnt work

The other works

[proud mason]

^

[viscid sluice]

async def dice(self, ctx, bet_on: int = 6, amount: int):

[proud mason]

the error shows you are using async def dice(self, ctx, bet_on: int = 6, amount: int):

||also thats dpy||

[viscid sluice]

Im stupid

[viscid sluice]

async def dice(self, ctx, amount: int, bet_on: int = 6): works

Alright now

[viscid sluice]

But I want it the other way around

And that was my question

[silver moat]

then give amount a default value

[viscid sluice]

And how do I do that?

[limber urchin]

[viscid sluice]

A normal question

[limber urchin]

Read rule 1 in #help-rules

[maiden nexus]

is it possible to add buttons to images?

[proud mason]

button to images? im not sure what you mean. but you can always send a message with just an image and a view

[maiden nexus]

like just sending an image

and adding a button to this

or yea that would work as well sending a message with it

[proud mason]

you cant have a button on the image

[maiden nexus]

right

what I did instead earlier was use reactions instead

[proud mason]

you can have one below it

[maiden nexus]

oh yea that's what I meant

like for embeds

[proud mason]

yea you can do that

[maiden nexus]

o ok ty

[maiden nexus]

also like I'm using a lot image manipulation and making profiles for many commands, is there anything I should be aware of? Like I usually don't see a lot of bots using images to show info and more of embeds.

[proud mason]

if your image manipulation library like PIL isnt async, call its methods from asyncio.to_thread

but should be fine otherwise

[maiden nexus]

alright got it ty

[young bone]

does it even have message?

[finite flame]

just asked myself the same thing and it doesn't look like it, no idea why my linter was suggesting it
wouldn't make any sense anyways since slash commands aren't casted with a normal message

k nvm then

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Client.loop

[proven mantle]

So ```py
member = asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(guild.fetch_member(int(msg["data"]["userID"])), self.client.loop).result()

[young bone]

Im not sure if its a good idea if you fetch members, if they are a lot of them

[proven mantle]

I used get_member before but that uses cached data which is not always up to date

[young bone]

ye

[worldly schooner]

recently ive been getting this error:
discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 90001): Reaction blocked

It was working all fine since I noticed my bot wasnt reacting anymore

[full basin]

The bot is missing permissions to add reactions

[worldly schooner]

strange, it was working fine, well I will check it out

[cyan quail]

it generally will be though, if you have intents your bot will always receive events and update your members in cache

if your cached members don't have the correct info then you're somehow doing something wrong elsewhere, or perhaps you're working at far too large a scale

[shut jasper]

what is wrong with this code?

returns admin not found

1089419657749987418 my id

if i make it an int it says

[frail matrix]

I have a ui view for a select menu that accepts arguments from the user when they run a slash command. So I put the view into on_ready to make it persistent, and then I need to pass data into that view to initalize it and the select menu. But what happens if I have multiple select menus? What do I put into on_ready?

[proud mason]

can you show how you define the var, and how you call bot.get_user

[proud mason]

you add the view multiple times

i assume you store the data which you pass in a db

[frail matrix]

yeah its in a db

[proud mason]

so just iterate over than and create a new view for every different select menu

[frail matrix]

so i have to add the view for each active select menu?

[proud mason]

yes

[frail matrix]

ok cool thanks

[proven mantle]

I use the default intents with Members and Messages enabled. But when i update the roles for a member, it wont return the new data. But ig i could make a event listener which writes to the cache

[finite flame]

why does time_amount: discord.Option(name="amount", description="The amount of time", input_type=int) give me a string even tho I'm specifying I want an int?

[cerulean yacht]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.register_command

is there anyway to unregister guild command registered using this^?

[finite flame]

not sure is this is an intended way, but you could remove the command and then rerun the register, then the ones missing get unregistered

[cerulean yacht]

no other way?

[finite flame]

dunno, never did this so far

[proud mason]

.tag slashnoshow

[winter condor]

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)?

[proud mason]

even tho tag is for smth else, the checklist still applies

[proud mason]

that method isnt implemented according to the source code 🤔
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/bot.py#L419

[errant crane]

discord/bot.py line 419

raise NotImplementedError```

[finite flame]

not sure how this helps, but anyways, shouldn't create any problems

1. yes
2. no, but I trigger the command sync manually
3. not overwritten
4. yes, 2.4.1
5. is disabled
6. yes, shared code, but there are no errors other than my code complaining that I didn't get an integer
7. no

[proud mason]

hmm that looks good

can you try using @option

[tough lion]

how to run my bot on pythonAnywhere?

[fervent cradle]

how can I edit a buttons lable after I pressed it?

this is the code

class PollView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Ja", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="yes_button")
    async def yes(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(components=[Button(label='Hello', custom_id='yes_button')])```

[limber urchin]

You need to edit the button and then edit the message with your view

[silver moat]

Pycord also doesn't have a components kwarg.

[fervent cradle]

so I don't put the button in the view but in a button class?

[limber urchin]

What?

You already have the button as a parameter in your callback

You don't need to create a new

[fervent cradle]

then I don't understand your solution

do you mean like this:

[limber urchin]

Change the label of the button and then edit the message with your view again

[fervent cradle]

        button.lable = "hello"

        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```

[limber urchin]

yes?

but you don't need interaction.response

just do self.message

[fervent cradle]

wdym?

[limber urchin]

you don't need interaction.response
just do self.message

[fervent cradle]

then I get this error:

await self.message.edit_message(view=self)
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'edit_message'

[full basin]

Why not? They have to respond to the interaction

[fervent cradle]

when I do it with this: py await interaction.response.edit_message(view=PollView()) I get no error, but the button lable doesn't change

[limber urchin]

It depends on if they want to edit the view in response to the interaction or not, I assumed not.

[fervent cradle]

and when I do it with py await self.message.edit_message(view=self) I get this error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'edit_message'

[limber urchin]

Why are you creating a new instance of your view?

That's just going to reset everything about it

[fervent cradle]

oh

but how should I do it then?

[limber urchin]

Just use self?

[full basin]

try py await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

[fervent cradle]

the button looks just the same as before

without any error

[full basin]

Code

[fervent cradle]

 async def yes(self, button, interaction):

        button.lable = "Hello"

        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```

[full basin]

lable

[fervent cradle]

@discord.ui.button(label="Ja", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="yes_button")```

[full basin]

button.lable

lable

It's label

[fervent cradle]

oh

[proud mason]

what is pythonAnywhere?

[full basin]

Hosting service looks like https://www.pythonanywhere.com/

[limber urchin]

You prbably can, but it looks like a pretty bad way to host a bot

You only get a set amount of CPU-seconds per day and only 1GB disk space for the $5/mo plan

You can get way better on pretty much any VPS provider

[silver moat]

even Replit's better

[young bone]

Or you can just use your own small server/old pc or a raspberry pi ^^

[limber urchin]

I'm guessing it's another one of those "Hey I found a free hosting service, I bet I can host my bot on this"

As if there's ever going to be a good and free way to do that

[silver moat]

I also found a free hosting service, ||localhost||

[limber urchin]

What do you guys think of my website?
http://localhost:8000/index.html

[young bone]

[young bone]

What was the url that is deleting some windows stuff?

[silver moat]

omg that's my website, plagerism

[young bone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjebNlzX6us

found it

[silver moat]

file not found

[young bone]

if you run it with cmd?

Im not sure if they fixed it

[silver moat]

zsh: no such file or directory:

maybe because I'm on mac

[young bone]

...

[fervent cradle]

why is my bot returning None for the channel if it has access

async def send_to_discord(fields, channelid):
    channel = bot.get_channel(channelid)
    if channel is None:
        print(f"Could not find channel with ID {channelid}")
        return
    embed = discord.Embed(title=f"ok")
    for field in fields:
        embed.add_field(name=field["name"], value=field["value"], inline=field["inline"])
    await channel.send(embed=embed)```

[fervent cradle]

hello, i want to ask if the pycord docs are outdated

i replicated everything on the docs, even tried to copypaste (ew) after 7 mins of nothing but i still get errors, i have fixed that tho, just here to ask

[silver moat]

which parts are you trying to use and what errors/things do you encounter

[fervent cradle]

"Coding the Basics"

this one

[silver moat]

the second question?

[fervent cradle]

what part of the docs shows how to make a handler

[silver moat]

what handler

[fervent cradle]

command handler

like cleaner index and each command in a file

like discord.js

[silver moat]

Well, that's not Pythonic, but you would be looking at cogs.

[fervent cradle]

okay thanks

[fervent cradle]

i am new to pythonicness

[silver moat]

yknow you still never answered my second question.

[fervent cradle]

oh its just the discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.default()) should be discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())

[silver moat]

umm what

[fervent cradle]

except if you're working with discord.ext commands

intents= discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

[silver moat]

discord.Bot should work just fine.

[fervent cradle]

it did not for me

[silver moat]

what IDE are you using

[fervent cradle]

i am testing my skills in replit, moving it to pylex after thinking im ready to make a bot

[silver moat]

ah yup that makes sense.

?tag replit

[obtuse junco]

https://gist.github.com/JustaSqu1d/992d7d95c44420f5edd5b0741b7915aa

[silver moat]

tl;dr replit doesn't work with pycord very well.

[fervent cradle]

oh so i have to start from pylex vps then

[silver moat]

or just like use an actual IDE like visual studio code or pycharm

?tag ide

[obtuse junco]

Python IDEs / Text Editors
PyCharm - https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
Visual Studio Code - https://code.visualstudio.com/download
Visual Studio Code Web - https://vscode.dev/
Atom - https://atom.io/
Sublime Text - https://www.sublimetext.com/

||Microsoft Word - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/word||

[fervent cradle]

my pc starts cooking after starting pycharm

is this enough for a vps

[silver moat]

yeah that's a certified windows issue...

[fervent cradle]

the fact that my pc is from 2005 makes it more unnoticable

[silver moat]

there's other IDEs.

Visual Studio Code is pretty lightweight across all OS.

[fervent cradle]

oh great then! what does pycord eat more, ram or cpu?

[silver moat]

from experience it's mostly ram

but again, my bot has like a huge message cache

[fervent cradle]

okay thanks for the info, hope i did not disturb you!

[fervent cradle]

:0

[silver moat]

my bot is in around 150 ish servers and has a peak ram usage of 500 ish mb

[fervent cradle]

mb 💀

[silver moat]

really depends on your bot.

[fervent cradle]

my current bot is made with discord.js (moving to py thats why im here) and currently eating 6 gb ram

only 55 servers

[limber urchin]

What on earth are you storing in memory to reach that

[fervent cradle]

some command info, 45 database tables and another instance of aoi.db peeking there

[limber urchin]

45 database tables?

[fervent cradle]

yes

[limber urchin]

Why

[fervent cradle]

leveling, counting, guess the number, cookie clicker game on discord, tictactoe, most of them are leaderboards and full of people as over 3000 people use the bot

which is such a omg for a non verified bot

[limber urchin]

It sounds like you could definitely rethink your database structure, and look at why you're using 6gb of ram

[silver moat]

yeah pretty sure this isn't a language issue.

[fervent cradle]

i wont, i am moving to discord.py so i don't have to

i will try to fix it in discord.py

[limber urchin]

discord.py won't solve RAM issues lmao

[silver moat]

It'll make it worse

[limber urchin]

Changing languages won't magically make things use less ram, you need to look at the actual problem

[fervent cradle]

aoi.db is known to eat ram, and i have some packages that i still don't know why i even have there

[fervent cradle]

no, i am rewriting the bot cause discord.js became boring to me

[silver moat]

what

[limber urchin]

Either way, this is pycord. Which means we won't help you with discord.py or any other lib for that matter.

[fervent cradle]

i don't feel like developing in it anymore

[fervent cradle]

i know if i say discord.py or pybot or anything that goes to another lib im just talking about pycord lol

[silver moat]

well, what was the topic on hand again?

[fervent cradle]

just i am going to use a vps for it, thanks for the info

[silver moat]

ok

[fervent cradle]

hope i did not disturb anyone, peace

[silver moat]

yes what?

[silver moat]

copy and paste it?

[fervent thunder]

ok

thanks got it

[silver moat]

yay

[fervent thunder]

if i wanted to, how would i get it to be a button, then the menu pops up

[lean creek]

imma just ss hol up

[fervent thunder]

like on a embed, that the bot generatered or a webhook

is that possible?

well, basically, sum adds the values in a list.

[lean creek]

so do i have to make it a list first?

[silver moat]

yes

[fervent thunder]

what am i doing here

[lean creek]

wait here they didn't turn it into a list tho

[silver moat]

I don't understand your question? Are you asking for how it works?

[fervent thunder]

yes

[silver moat]

You send a view with a button on it

[fervent thunder]

with what command

[silver moat]

whatever you make it to be

[silver moat]

well, that for loop returns a list

[fervent thunder]

something like this

[silver moat]

What about that

[fervent thunder]

but when u click it pops up a menu

[silver moat]

yes you can do that

[lean creek]

then why does mine not?

[fervent thunder]

is their a guide on it?

I don't know where I would start

[silver moat]

I just sent you one...

[silver moat]

Because your if statement

oh

im stupid

Hi, stupid, I'm squid

[fervent thunder]

please help me

[silver moat]

how

[fervent thunder]

I'm trying to code, but I can't, I'm trying to code a bot that can do /embed and create a embed, with a working one button, that opens up the menu, then can send to a channel or webhook

what's happening here

[silver moat]

Because i have a feeling this will clump this chat, please create a new post and ping me once your done.

[fervent thunder]

ok

[fervent cradle]

Why am I getting this error:

ValueError: View is not persistent. Items need to have a custom_id set and View must have no timeout

this is my code:

[young bone]

Something is missing at the class

[fervent cradle]

oh I see

[ornate current]

How can i make persistent giveaways?

[young bone]

?

[ornate current]

Like multiple giveaways and they wont stop even if the bot restarts

[young bone]

?

[ornate current]

Buttons

multiple persistent views??

[young bone]

give them a custome id and set the timeout to None

[ornate current]

all of the custom ids need to be different?

[young bone]

You mean for the same button? no

if you have more than one than every button need his own custome id

[young bone]

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

[spring hare]

What possible problems may appear with scaling discord bots? (If do not take into account the specifics of the code) Is sharding hard and what other code changes do I need if I decide to shard my bot (Or I just need to change Bot to AutoShardedBot, and start new bot instances?)

Best way to make asyncio.sleep? so it works even after bot restarts?

Should i use asyncio.sleep and store the time a giveaway finishes and in the on_ready i should use multithreading to restart their asyncio.sleep where it left off earlier?

[undone falcon]

How do you check the help for hosting?

Like ?host

In bot commands

[full basin]

What

[undone falcon]

With the bot for this server

Like ?nojson

[finite flame]

you have an example for that?

[novel yacht]

    @discord.slash_command(name='give_funds', description='Give funds to a user', guild_ids=[796804050305417276],)
    async def give_funds(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, count: int):
        staff_roles_ids = [913710830602829854, 928969191795609670, 995817536010600498]
        if ctx.author.id not in staff_roles_ids:
            await ctx.respond('You do not have permission to use this command.', ephemeral=True)
            return
```but i have role this

[drifting birch]

When doing await ctx.respond("test") in my slash command, I'm getting a 404 Unknown interaction. It doesn't happen on my other commands. What could be the cause of this?

[solemn idol]

can you show us the entire command? :I

[drifting birch]

@discord.slash_command(name="searchh")
  async def search(self, ctx, search: discord.commands.Option(
    str,
    description="Thing you want to search for in the Wiki",
    required=True,
  )):
    page_id = fandom.search(search, results=1)[0][1]
    page = fandom.page(pageid=page_id)
    print(page.title)
    print(page.summary)
    #print(page.sections)
    #for section in page.sections:
    #    print(page.section(section))
    await ctx.send("test")
    await ctx.respond("test")

The printing and ctx.send work, but ctx.respond gives the 404

[solemn idol]

hmm I dont really see anything wrong with the command, maybe it needs to be defered I am not sure...

#1094093451294937088

can someone help me here?

[limber urchin]

Stick to #help-rules

[fervent thunder]

what

[limber urchin]

Everyone has to follow them, including you

[fervent thunder]

im asking a question

im asking how i would do it, please

[limber urchin]

Read rule 6

[fervent thunder]

u make no sense

i understand that, i'm waiting

no one has responded for at least 10 hours

[limber urchin]

And that makes you exempt from the rules?

[fervent thunder]

what

Bruh, you make no sense, I've waited, I'm asking,

For someone to look.

Please

[limber urchin]

How am I making "no sense"? I'm telling you to follow the rules, which you are not doing.

I don't care how long you've waited for, you still need to follow all rules in #help-rules

[fervent cradle]

can someone help my channel id isnt working even tho it should

async def send_to_discord(fields, channelid):
    channel = bot.get_channel(channelid)
    if channel is None:
        print(f"Could not find channel with ID {channelid}")
        return
    embed = discord.Embed(title=f"ok")
    for field in fields:
        embed.add_field(name=field["name"], value=field["value"], inline=field["inline"])
    await channel.send(embed=embed)```

its a func

but await send_to_discord(fields, 1092588870337573018) dosent work

its a valid channel

im using bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all()) and it has all intents in the portal

[silver moat]

[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.

[fervent cradle]

theres nothing else about it dude

Could not find channel with ID 1092693725139968060

thats a different output

but u get it

the error is just "cant send to type none"

[silver moat]

If the channel is None, you can try fetching the channel

ok thx

[silver moat]

which would also explain why your channel cache is empty.

[fervent cradle]

no its still giving errors

it said it was ready and on ready was moved up to before the func and stuff

[silver moat]

send code?

and error

[fervent cradle]

AttributeError: '_MissingSentinel' object has no attribute 'request'

@bot.event

        embed.add_field(name=field["name"], value=field["value"], inline=field["inline"])
    await channel.send(embed=embed)```

[silver moat]

You still aren’t waiting for pn_ready to fire.

[fervent cradle]

is there a difference?

cuz i wait till it says its ready then i do what im doing'

[silver moat]

Where are you doing that

[fervent cradle]

no like

when it prints its ready in the console

[silver moat]

The order of the functions doesn’t mean anything.

[fervent cradle]

heres what the output looks like

error goes here```

its ready

then i do it

so i would be waiting for nothing right?

[silver moat]

With your current provided code, it could be either case. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fervent cradle]

import multiprocessing as mp

def start_bot():
    bot.run("not for you mr hakr man!11")

def start_webapp():
    web.run_app(app)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot_process = mp.Process(target=start_bot)
    bot_process.start()

    webapp_process = mp.Process(target=start_webapp)
    webapp_process.start()

    bot_process.join()
    webapp_process.join()```

this wouldnt change anything right?

im using aiohttp and it works when i run the bot without the webserver

[limber urchin]

Why are you using multiprocessing if you're on aiohttp? The whole point of aiohttp is to run it asynchronously

[fervent cradle]

yeah but when i do it for some reason dosent run properly and only runs the web app

or if i put the bot above it it only runs the bot

so i tried mp

[limber urchin]

Probably because you're starting your web server incorrectly, and bot.run is blocking so yeah, that's of course going to only run the bot

[fervent cradle]

how am i starting it incorectly

[limber urchin]

I don't know, how are you starting it?

[fervent cradle]

web.run_app(app)????

do i do async run

[limber urchin]

You need to start it on your bots event loop

[fervent cradle]

huh

[limber urchin]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Client.loop

[fervent cradle]

sigh opens chatgpt

its fine guys i have gpt 4 😎

[silver moat]

If you can’t read documentation or know fundamentals, that’s not something AI can solve for you.

[fervent cradle]

no im honestly just too lazy i havent slept in 20 hours because of this project

[limber urchin]

At least people go to chatgpt to get spoonfed now instead of crying here

[silver moat]

sleep > discord bot

[limber urchin]

Eh, less people asking basic questions here means the helpers have more time to answer people who actually have real issues

[fervent cradle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silver moat]

I mean, maybe AI conjuring methods out of thin air is normal.

I remember it was like button.view.delete()

[fervent cradle]

ok im genuinly confused i cant get this to work even when looking at the docs

😭

wait

maybe i got it

no i dont got it

    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
    loop.call_soon(start_bot())```

```def start_bot():
    bot.run("e")
    web.run_app(app)```

is this not correct

am i dumb

its only running discord bot

wat da fak

OH I AM DUMB

no nvm its still not working

[silver moat]

go sleep

[fervent cradle]

def start_bot():
    bot.run("MTA5MjY5MzA4NDY1Mjk2NTg4OA.Gvvd8b.dfgdfgd

i was about to send a meme

[fervent cradle]

[silver moat]

go sleep and use environment variables

In that order

[young bone]

for me its 1:32 am sooooooo

[fervent cradle]

its 4:37 pm u ghave bad tim zone

[silver moat]

how are you 4 minutes ahead

[fervent cradle]

im bad at typeing

[silver moat]

just go to bed…

sleep and talk less

[fervent cradle]

buttttt discrd botttttt

😔

[silver moat]

Without you there is no Discord bot.

[young bone]

what is sleep?

[fervent cradle]

this ^^^

[errant crane]

Use the buttons below to search for sleep on the internet.

[fervent cradle]

that is the most usless commend

@silver moat you were so close

ok fine ill sleep

gn

[young bone]

@silver moat where are you from?

[silver moat]

I won’t tell you that.

[young bone]

aww

its fine ^^

[coarse cargo]

Im trying to get the emoji that should be in the button from a .yml file but it throws Invalid emoji.

This is my button >

@discord.ui.button(
            label=f"{ticketpanelconf['button_text']}",
            style=discord.ButtonStyle.green,
            emoji=f"{ticketpanelconf['button_emoji']}",
            custom_id="openticket-button"
        )

And this is the Key and Value >

button_emoji: ":incoming_envelope:"

[fervent cradle]

a moderator asking a question!?

what is this bafoonary

(joke)

[limber urchin]

If it's a normal emoji you can just use the unicode version of it. You can get that by adding a \ before the emoji.
:incoming_envelope: -> \:incoming_envelope:
📨 -> \📨
and copy that into your config file

If it's a nitro emoji, you need to use the <:emoji_name:emoji_id> format.

[fervent cradle]

i will fucking pay you to tell me the things i am doing wrong instead of sending me docs

i am literally unable to fall asleep because of this shitty bot

also

im using a Bot not a Client

so that wouldnt work anywayy

[limber urchin]

Bot inherits Client...

[silver moat]

whatever works in client will work with bot.

[fervent cradle]

i tried anyway and it still didnt work

[limber urchin]

"didnt work" gives us nothing

[fervent cradle]

it runs the bot and never the app

no errors

it just dosent run

[limber urchin]

And what does your code look like now?

[fervent cradle]

async def run_webapp():
    runner = web.AppRunner(app)
    await runner.setup()
    site = web.TCPSite(runner, 'localhost', 8080)
    await site.start()
    
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_get('/e', get_info)
app.router.add_get('/', index)
app.router.add_get('/{path}', redirect)


bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all(), loop=run_webapp())```

[limber urchin]

Why are you passing loop as a parameter?

[fervent cradle]

is it not a parameter

im so confused dawg

[limber urchin]

Exactly, so why are you using it as one?

[desert path]

hey i need some help w modals

is there such thing in pycord as there is in discord.py?

    name = discord.ui.TextInput(
        label='Name',
        placeholder='Your move here',
    )

the .textinput part

[fervent cradle]

MAN IDK

im too tired for this

[silver moat]

it’s InputText.

in pycord

[desert path]

oh

ic lol

thank

[limber urchin]

Loop is not a parameter, it's an instance of an asyncio event loop. You use that loop to run asynchronous code.

[fervent cradle]

spoonfeed me the code and i will pay you

im genuinly on the verge of banging my head on the wall until life feels good again

😭

[silver moat]

I think your mentality is a bigger issue than your code rn.

[limber urchin]

No thank you

[fervent cradle]

ok i give up on this project

back into the trash like the other 200 failed discord bots

😭

[desert path]

For this line of code :class Moving(discord.ui.Modal,title="Hi"):
I got this error: TypeError: Moving.__init_subclass__() takes no keyword arguments

but when i removed the title part is says it needs a title 😦

how do i add a title in pycord :C

[silver moat]

do you understand how OOP in python works

[desert path]

whats OOP?

[silver moat]

object-oriented programming

[desert path]

oh well not rlly

[silver moat]

concepts like polymorphism, inheritance, and abstractions

[desert path]

nah i dont lol

[silver moat]

yeah that would explain why.

[desert path]

yea ;/

[silver moat]

You are trying to inherit from Modal.

Do you know what a constructor is?

[desert path]

yeah

[silver moat]

do you know what super() does?

[desert path]

i've heard of it but no

[silver moat]

super() returns the parent class or super class.

[desert path]

ic

[silver moat]

of your child class.

so to access the parent class’s constructor, you would use super().__init__(). This would usually be the first line of your child class’s constructor.

[desert path]

oh i think i get it

super().__init__(title="Hi")?

[silver moat]

yay

[desert path]

lol thx

[desert path]

looks like this chat died

i needed some help with this error:

In data.components: Must be between 1 and 5 in length.

what does that mean?

[jaunty jewel]

dynamic command choices in pycord 🤨

[full basin]

Code

[full basin]

Autocomplete?..

[jaunty jewel]

something like that but change by the user input

linked with database to fatch and get the data from it and not limited with 25 choice max

[full basin]

That's literally what autocomplete is

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[jaunty jewel]

autocomplete limited with 25 choice max :<

[jaunty jewel]

wait

autocomplete != command choices ?

[limber urchin]

Autocomplete and choices are different things

Autocomplete can be fully dynamic and doesn't force the user to pick one of the choices. And does not have the same limits as choices do.

[jaunty jewel]

thank you for the explanation

ik i'm dumb in pycord :>

[stark walrus]

In your online leaderboard for levels
How do you display the usernames of your leaderboard people?
Do you store usernames separately in the database as well?

Because I don't think it is efficient to fetch_user all the time

[full basin]

You just need the username and pfp

[stark walrus]

Yup

But from where should I get that?

[full basin]

Storing it makes more sense

[stark walrus]

Oh

alright then!

[full basin]

But you work with the risk of the user changing their username or pfp

[stark walrus]

No

There is a on user update event right

I could have it update just their username in my database

[full basin]

Sure

[stark walrus]

ty for your input too

[desert path]

?

[full basin]

Show your code

[desert path]

nvm i figured it out

[silver moat]

Not necessarily, your bot can be offline when they update it. They could also not share a guild with your bot when they update it.

These are just some edge cases, there may be more.

[limber urchin]

You can always just build your own cache to store the usernames and re-fetch the names less frequently.

And if you want it to be persistent between bot restarts, use something like Redis for your cache

[proud mason]

Btw aiohttp is a bit fucky with the event loop. You need to start the bot first and then run the aiohttp app. So smth like this

async def run_webapp():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    ... # your existing code

bot.loop.create_task(run_webapp())

bot.run()

Is what you need to do

[proud mason]

Redis isn't persistent tho..

[limber urchin]

It will persist as long as you don't restart the service or the machine

unless you specify a time to live on the cache

[proud mason]

True

[fervent cradle]

oh my god it works

can i pay you

[proud mason]

No lol

I do this shit for free

[fervent cradle]

you deserve better ong

ill finish tomorrow i need sleep

[meager mica]

so im confused how im supposed to pass arguments into my modal with title i tried ReplyModal(user_id, suggestion, title="Respond to user")
but i still get missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'title' here is my class ```py

class ReplyModal(discord.ui.Modal):
def init(self, user_id: int, suggestion: str, *args, **kwargs) -> None:```

[stark walrus]

Why does on_interaction make your commands fail

[proud mason]

you you pass *args, **kwargs to super init ?

[meager mica]

oh

lol

[proud mason]

because cmds are processed in that event.
use @bot.listen() instead of @bot.event and you should be fine

[meager mica]

thanks

[proud mason]

haha np

[stark walrus]

Oh thanks

[proud mason]

oh and why do you need that event? dont use that event for buttons. buttons have callbacks which you can set

[stark walrus]

I want to update my user cache

I store userid, username, pfp url in cache

Want it to update every time a command is used

[proud mason]

ah

dont use this event then

[stark walrus]

it's a valid application for on_interaction?

Oh

[proud mason]

cuz it is fired for buttons too

[stark walrus]

Then what do you recommend

[proud mason]

use on_application_command

[stark walrus]

Oh that existed-

Thanks

    embed.add_field(name="Test", value="Test", inline=False)
    embed.set_footer(text="")
    view = discord.ui.View()
    view.add_item(VerifyButton())
    
    await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)

bot.run("My Bot Token!")

What's wrong with this code

[proud mason]

Many things

interaction.response.send_message to send the modal

The name for input text is discord.ui.InputText

Also as the other guy said, don't use / as a prefix. It will be a pain in the ass to use the prefix cmds of the bot

[fervent thunder]

But, how would I fix this code to be a button that opens open a modal?

the menu
class VerificationModal(discord.ui.Modal):
def init(self, title="Verification", *args, **kwargs) -> None:
super().init(title=title, *args, **kwargs)

    input_short = discord.ui.Input(
        label="Short Input",
        placeholder="Placeholder Test",
    )
    input_long = discord.ui.Input(
        label="Longer Input",
        placeholder="Placeholder Test",
        multiline=True,
    )
    
    self.add_item(input_short)
    self.add_item(input_long)

[ornate current]

How do i continue an asyncio.sleep() if the bot restarts??

[young bone]

For what?

Do you have it in a command than no

[ornate current]

i wanna make a giveaway bot

and the asyncio.sleep() stops when the bot stops

i dont want that

[cyan quail]

you can't

save the relative times in a file or db and use tasks to check if the time has passed

[young bone]

^

[novel yacht]

how fix?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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

    @discord.command(name='poll', description='poll', guild_ids=[796804050305417276])
    async def poll(self, ctx, *, question):
        embed = discord.Embed(title=question)
        message = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        reactions = [':white_check_mark:', ':x:']  # define reactions as a list of emojis
        for i in range(len(reactions)):
            await message.add_reaction(reactions[i])

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

[proud mason]

use ctx.respond instead of ctx.send

and do message = await ctx.original_response() after responding

[novel yacht]

AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/discord/bot.py", line 1114, in invoke_application_command
    await ctx.command.invoke(ctx)

    raise ApplicationCommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'```

[proud mason]

you should also refactor this part

        for i in range(len(reactions)):
            await message.add_reaction(reactions[i])

python allows you to iterate over members of a list

so it should be

        for r in reactions:
            await message.add_reaction(r)

[proud mason]

@novel yacht see this

[novel yacht]

thx

[frail matrix]

how do i convert role data thats stored in a database into role objects?

[young bone]

Store the role id and get the role with get_role, fetch_role or discord.utils

[proud mason]

Get role should be the best way to do it

[young bone]

I would use discord.utils

[frail matrix]

i need to reference the guild for those, right?

whats the best way to do that?

[heady fractal]

could there be a memory leak in pycord? my i can see a steady increase in the ram usage on my bot in the last days

[young bone]

How many intents do you have?

[heady fractal]

from the 4th of april it started at 72mb and it slowly increased up to 165 mb

message, servers and presence

so all 3

[young bone]

Where do you need it?

Or for what

[frail matrix]

i need it inside the on_ready function

[young bone]

What do you do at the on_ready funtion?

Other question

Will the bot be public or at a privat server

[frail matrix]

private

[heady fractal]

Any idea what's causing it?

[young bone]

If the bot will be privat you can just use ```py
guild = client.get_guild(id)

[frail matrix]

oh you meant the other question lol

so i have some select menus that take arguments from the user through slash commands. to make them persistent, i need to add them to on_ready, but i need all the roles to pass into the view when i add them to on_ready. so i've stored all of the select menu's data in a database, but now i need to reconstruct the roles so i can put them in the view in on_ready

i dont know if that makes any sense

[young bone]

How many people are at the server or using the bot?

[young bone]

@frail matrix

[heady fractal]

Let me get back to you

I don't have an exact number but i'd say over 300 @young bone

[young bone]

In not really sure if there is a data leak but I heard that Intents can eat a lot of RAM

[proud mason]

That's slow

[proud mason]

My bots usually start around 70-80 and stabilise around 150 MB

It wouldn't be wrong to assume this is due to cache

Try limiting the message cache size if you want

[heady fractal]

i'll monitor for a few more days and see if it plateaus out

[proud mason]

Does your ram keep rising and breach 200 MB ?

[heady fractal]

not yet

[proud mason]

Yea that makes sense

[heady fractal]

it hasn't been running for that much yet

i'll keep monitoring for a few weeks and come back if it's an issue

[proud mason]

Sure 👍

[novel yacht]

what you mean?

[frail matrix]

im getting this error: AttributeError: module 'discord.client' has no attribute 'get_guild'

ok i did it, i did self.get_guild() inside on_ready

[young bone]

what is with self.client.get_guild()?

[frail matrix]

like this py async def on_ready(self): guild = self.get_guild(int(getenv("GUILD_ID")))

inside a subclass of Bot

[finite flame]

so you're not using it the normal way, you're overwriting it?

[frail matrix]

whats the normal way?

[finite flame]

with a listener

[frail matrix]

im confused

what the proper way i should be doing this?

[young bone]

.rtfm listener

uhhh ok this seems like something i shouldve been doing

[fervent cradle]

What about use of discord.Enums as option types, I can’t get it to work, when I try the slash command it is recognized as a string option

[young bone]

https://guide.pycord.dev/introduction

[frail matrix]

hahah

[young bone]

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs

[proud mason]

unlike ctx.send, ctx.respond doesnt return the message object

you need to get the message object using await ctx.original_response()

[novel yacht]

thanks

[frail matrix]

Okay so I'm trying to understand listeners, are they only for use in cogs? Is it okay to be doing what I was doing if it's not in a cog?

[young bone]

bot.listen or bot.event but I dont right really which one it better to use

[proud mason]

@bot.listen() if you want to use in main file
commands.Cog.listener() if in cogs

both do the same thing

[proud mason]

also this was because you were subclassing it wrong

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/subclassing-bots
this is how you subclass

[frail matrix]

ok im going to read everything, thanks for the help everyone

be back tomorrow with more questions

[ornate current]

Whats there is pycord thats not in discord.py

[silver moat]

voice recording and simple implementations.

[ornate current]

...

[limber urchin]

They're both discord API wrappers, one of them isn't going to have some magic feature that the other doesn't

They're different implementations of the same API.

[proud mason]

they are largely the same except app cmds lol

[silver moat]

hybrid vs bridge. Pages vs menus.

I think that’s it

[proud mason]

yea and some asyncio stuff

[merry dune]

I have question how create indefinite timeout here

class MyView(discord.ui.View): 
    @discord.ui.button(label="Verify", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="😎")
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        user = interaction.user
        dt1 = user.joined_at.date()
        dt2 = datetime.date.today()
        tdelta = (dt2 - dt1)
        mindate = datetime.timedelta(days=30)
        if tdelta >= mindate:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user} you verification started, wait couple minutes for check u profile", ephemeral = True)
            for channel in interaction.guild.text_channels:
                counter = 0
                async for message in channel.history(limit = 1000):
                   if message.author == bot.user:
                       counter += 1
            if counter >= 100:
                 await interaction.user.send("you verified")
                 roleid = 856942394862600273
                 role = interaction.guild.get_role(roleid)
                 await user.add_roles(role)
            else:
                 await interaction.use.send("you verify denied")
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user} you verification denied", ephemeral = True)
        
@bot.slash_command() 
async def button(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Verify on Events", description="")
    await ctx.respond("Click the button to verify participation in events", view=MyView(), timeout=None) 

And my code ended and works fine

[proud mason]

- view=MyView(), timeout=None)
+ view=MyView(timeout=None))

[merry dune]

TY❤️

no not really, but does it affect the code?

Are you getting the error after sending the command?

You need to explain more, we can't just guess from a screenshot
