you cant do that in slash cmds

stark walrus
#

oh

proud mason
#

yeah

stark walrus
#

oof okay

proud mason
#

your only choices are accepting mentions as strings, or doing some fuckery with autocomplete

stark walrus
#

i recoded a bit of the command now it returns an error if role and channel both are given

stark walrus

        self.command_group = self.bot.create_group("youtube", "Control youtube audio in voice chat")

    @self.command_group.command()
#

How can I do what I'm trying to do here with the @violet magnet decorator

#

since that obviously isnt valid

#

sorry guy I tagged lol

#

ah nvm

#

this does it

#

anyone know how to make slash command groups inside a cog?

proud mason

#

how to make a filter for a valid integer which is between 1 and 100,000?

# 
@option("level", Union[], description="The level at which a role should be rewarded.")```
#

Idk what to put inside the Union, idk if it's right so far

proud mason

#

oh

makes sense then tysm

#

and +-2^53 is the limit right?

proud mason
#

Or find it in discord docs

stark walrus

alright!!

stark walrus
#

How to change the SlashCommandOptionType

#

oh nvm i figured it out

#

i forgot to put level:int in the typehint

merry dune
#

@stark walrus if this is a command, then the question is why do you make an exception for permisses in the "if"
if you can use ```py
@commands.#functions example has_any_role("role"),
@commands.has_permissions(administrator)

stark walrus
#

or have it respond to all such in the on_command_error event

#

right?

Hello, i'm trying to send an embed through a webhook but I can't figure out where is the problem. This is the payload:

  "content": null,
  "embeds": [
    {
      "title": "Title",
      "description": "description",
      "color": 5814783,
      "fields": [
        {
          "name": "Field 1",
          "value": "Field description"
        },
        {
          "name": "Field 2",
          "value": "Field descriptions"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "attachments": []
}``` 
and it's being sent through this line of code 
```py
response = requests.post(webhook, data=payload, files=files)```
#

Any wonders why it's not working?

#

Failed to send webhook: 400 {"embeds": ["0"]}

Oh I think I found the problem

@fervent cradle sorry i have mistake, automatic ctx write doggokek

Okay

full basin

#

@full basin so to speak, the muse escaped me and I’m thinking where to start using a static command without a prefix or a bot event, I don’t like messing around with events, although this is the simplest solution

#

I'm just looking for inspiration mostly, that's while chatting about x y conflicts, I created a code for checking messages but temporarily put it on the back burner because the hosting almost burned down at one moment doggokek

#

But unfortunately, I still can’t fix a technical flaw in the game timer, with a repeated or unreadable answer, it restarts the timer, I thought about creating an exception, but maybe it will kick again game

So I sometimes host an bot in replit, not important. But is there any way I can change the server with the console

#

Server name I mean

So it asks me to what I want to change it

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.

Heya, i have question, i want create fun command/event bot take my msg, delete original and send itself

and I think how to do it in interaction mode so that the bot does not delete, but removes the message by api and send

#

any other free platforms to host my bot ( i m newbie so cant spend money atm)

silver moat
#

if you are a student and have a school email, you can use microsoft azure

slow panther
#

how about github ? willl it work for hosting pycord bot ?

silver moat
#

github doesn't host python scripts, they only host websites.

slow panther
silver moat
#

If you have a credit card, you can use railway.app or oracle free tier

limber urchin
#

If you actually want a good host, you're going to have to spend money though. Railway or Oracle will work fine for early stages.

silver moat
limber urchin
#

Depends on what the bot is doing, but yeah, as long as the bot is small, a free host will be "good enough"

#

i did await it tho?

proud mason
#

i think python is trying to guess where to await

#

like if you had

async def func()
  return "Hello"

and you did

l = await func().upper()

then python might try calling func as a normal sync function, and thinking that upper is the async function, so it awaits that

fervent cradle
#

What port does py-cord use?

limber urchin
#

???

#

why would pycord use a port?

fervent cradle
#

connect to network

limber urchin
#

It's a client that does HTTP communication, it doesn't use any port unless you're talking about 80 and 443, but that's literally any program that needs HTTP(s)

tired goblet
#

Is discord going to remove support for normal commands?

#

I mean ones we use without the slashes

limber urchin
#

What?

#

How would they do that?

tired goblet
#

Such as !help

limber urchin
#

That's literally impossible for them to do unless they completely block bots from reading message contents

tired goblet
limber urchin
#

They obviously want you to use slash commands, and it makes sense because they're way better

#

But they won't "remove support", because they don't have "support" for it in the first place. It's just the library parsing messages as commands and responding accordingly.

tired goblet
#

I see

#

Thanks. I was going to start writing a new bot and just future proofing it

limber urchin
#

You still need message content intents for normal commands to work though, so unless your bot has a good use case for that intent, you're doomed if you ever want to verify your bot.

tired goblet
limber urchin
#

You can apply for it, but if you don't have a good use case, they won't give it to you.

#

And no, commands is not a valid use case

tired goblet
#

I see

#

Thanks for the heads up

#

I'm not sure if this is a repl.it error or a pycord error

limber urchin

You have some weird whitespace character in your code. Nothing to do with pycord

#

My guess is that you copied the code from somewhere and when you pasted something tried to format it and failed

I believe the new voice messages can be already read with pycord, right?

#

I was thinking of making a transcription command through whisper, not sure if that would work properly though

fervent cradle
#

I was on Aliucord on my phone earlier, I haven't updated it ever, I saw them as .ogg files.

#

They are just standard attachments, which pycord can handle.

clever hinge
#

I've seen on mobile that they're basically .ogg files, not sure if the api handles the voice messages the same way as basic files though

clever hinge
fervent cradle
#

One would assume they would just be standard file attachments.

#

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve, but you can just check if the attachment is an ogg

Hello, I have created a task loop in my bot. And I gave it a list with 4 hours as datetime object.
However, after the bot completed its task at the last hour (02:00) in the parameter, it put the loop into an endless loop and sent the message that should throw certain hours. Do you have information and suggestions about the reasons and precautions for this?

# slow panther my code is written in vs code bruh

vscode is just an editor, with some really nice to have tools, but your bot is never hosted in vscode.
You can use the terminal provided in vscode to host your bot but that does not automatically mean it's hosted in vscode as it is still hosted on the machine you're using vscode on.

I put manage_role=True as a default permissions, but people without permisisosn cna still see them and use them

Do you know why the default_permissions dont work ?

( it was working before I put them in a slash group)

I mean at the command

#

not the group

undone falcon
#

I want to put a default_permissions

#

use both

the default permissions does not work

#

that is my problem

#

it works for single commands, but when I put in groups it is not working anymore

undone falcon
# undone falcon

see I have the default_permissions(manage_roles=True), but not working

#

I switch account to test, it is a member with no roles or permissions but i can still see and use the commands

and I just tested it, works perfectly when not in a slash group like that:

How would I add an autocomplete option to a command in a cog, where the autocomplete function requires self as one of its parameters?

jaunty jewel
#

just add that function belong the class cog and async it, or make it like a normal command code (with the autocomplete function) in a new file and import that file in the main.py

#

however by talking about the autocomplete, as my knowledge if the ac function didn't returned anything within 3sec's and then it returns i will get 404

so how to make an exception for that error, i mean where even the expect logic will goes :\

torpid wraith
#

Here's my command in my cog (it's also in a slash command group of "character"):

@character.command(name = "view", description="Display basic info about one of your player characters")
async def create(
    self,
    ctx,
    name: discord.Option(str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(get_player_characters))
):```
#

I have this for the async ac function:

async def get_player_characters(self, ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):```
#

Error:

TypeError("get_player_characters() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'")>```
jaunty jewel
jaunty jewel
torpid wraith
proud mason
#

dont put the function in the cog class

#

define it above the cog class, in the global scope of the file

jaunty jewel
#

send the code to debug it (‾◡◝)

# bot.py
# Database Initialization
db = SimpleMysql(

# Add cogs to bot

    def __init__(self, bot, db):
        self.bot = bot
        self.db = db```
proud mason
#

ah

#

you can do ctx.command.cog or smth iirc

#

that returns the cog instance

#

let me just check

jaunty jewel
torpid wraith
#

Would the cog object hold the instance variables?

proud mason
proud mason
torpid wraith
proud mason
#

because it is the same instance which is returned

jaunty jewel
torpid wraith
#

I'm guessing the first...

jaunty jewel
#

:\

torpid wraith
#

Follow up question... How would I access the command author (caller) in this autocomplete function?

#

ctx.author doesn't work 😕

#

Because I confused AutocompleteContext with CommandContext

proud mason
torpid wraith
proud mason
#

it is

#

hint- ||check out the interaction attribute||

torpid wraith
#

Oh, I thought Interactions were something completely different from bots, my b. Tyvm

#

Am still noob, sry 😅

torpid wraith
#

Hello .How to fix this problem.

fast badger
#

how can i give an edited message a view, message and a file?
when i try to it throws

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: InteractionResponse.edit_message() takes 1 positional argument but 2 positional arguments (and 2 keyword-only arguments) were given```

In my opinion it is better to use "intr" ,a "interaction" .Although you can do it like this😓

That's my code doesn't seem to work:

    while not bot.is_closed():
        banned_users = []
        with open("marked.txt", "r") as f:
            marked_ids = [line.strip() for line in f.readlines()]
        for guild in bot.guilds:
            for member in guild.members:
                member_id = member.id
                if member_id in marked_ids:
                    await guild.ban(member, reason="User is marked.")
                    banned_users.append(member.id)

You just need to pass content as a kwarg instead of a positional arg

Hey very stupid qeustion but how to get guild id?

young bone
fervent cradle
#

But u need id

#

to get the id?

young bone
fervent cradle
#

to save guild specific info

#

get_guild(id, /)?

#

U need the id to fetch the guild object

young bone
#

at a command?

fervent cradle
#

yes

young bone
#

you already get the guild with ctx.guild

cerulean halo
#

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
for guild in bot.guilds:
print(f"Connected to server: {guild.id}")

#

For example

fervent cradle
#

Yes

cerulean halo
#

That's the same.

fervent cradle
#

of all the guild my bot is in

cerulean halo
#

Yes. Do you want a specific guild?

cerulean halo
fervent cradle
#

The one the command was excecuted in

#

K i fixed

cerulean halo
#

@bot.command()
async def guildid(ctx):
guild = ctx.guild
guild_id = guild.id
await ctx.send(f"The ID of this guild is {guild_id}.")

fervent cradle
#

thx a lot

cerulean halo
#

Sure.

#

Ofc you can do it just in one line but just in order to make it clear.

fervent cradle

I won't have to do anything special if I put this in a Cog, right? Just make the view a nested class and proceed as normal?

silver moat
#

You don't even need to put it inside of a cog

#

you can put it outside of the cog

torpid wraith
# silver moat You don't even need to put it inside of a cog

Ok, I keep hearing this, and I have to ask... What's the deal with Cogs? I was given the impression that Cogs should be used to organize your larger code projects by splitting up the code into different modules/files. Is there a better way to do this?

silver moat
#

cog could be ambiguious: it could refer to the actual file, or the actual class in the file.

#

here, I'm referring to cog as the class

torpid wraith
#

Ohhhh, so when you said to put it outside the cog, you meant the cog class within the cog file?

#

ohhhhhh

silver moat
#

yes

torpid wraith
#

Forgive my ignorance, but can you call a class while inside a different class?

silver moat
torpid wraith
#

So, the View class is just, I guess, within the global space of the file?

silver moat
#

yeah

torpid wraith
#

Is this true with Java too?... I'm so used to only having one class per file with my Java projects that all this Python craziness is giving me a run for my money, lol

silver moat
#

java literally only allows you to have one global class per file.

#

But you can have inner-classes in java, but not really standard practice

Ahh, okay, I'm not crazy then 😅 haha. Just need to get used to Python then. Thx!

Hi guys, i have a code that get some options from a yml file and creates an option for a dropdown menu with them it works fine but i dont know how to make a callback for every option. The callback should change the channel name and it is also specified in the configuration file.

This is my yaml file

dropdown:
#You can create as many options as you want, Max is 25 (Discord Limitation)
 option1:
  name: "Account"
  description: "For issues regarding your in-game account."
  emoji: ":bust_in_silhouette:"
  ticket_name: ":bust_in_silhouette:┃account-{interaction.user.name}"
 option2:
  name: "Store Support"
  description: "For issues regarding the store and payments."
  emoji: ":money_with_wings:"
  ticket_name: ":money_with_wings:┃store-{interaction.user.name}"

This is how i get the values:

menu_options = [
        discord.SelectOption(label=dropdown[option_key]['name'], description=dropdown[option_key]['description'],
                             emoji=dropdown[option_key]['emoji'])
        for option_key in dropdown
    ]

And this is my dropdown:

@discord.ui.select(placeholder=ticketchannel['dropdown_placeholder'], min_values=1, max_values=1, options=menu_options,
                       custom_id=f"menu")
woeful skiff
#

My code:

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
ms = message.content.lower()
if "hello" in ms:
    await message.reply("Hey!")
elif ".gg/" in ms:
    await message.delete()

The above one works, that one with hello!
But the .gg doesn’t work, why?

Hi there, I just started and I am following the Quickstart guide. Is there a way to find all of the guild_id's in Python?

silver moat

#

Over here, there is the guild_ids argument for the decorator but how do I find all of the guild_ids that my bot currently has?

image.png
young bone
#

did you read?

silver moat
remote cove
#

@young bone Yes, I did read. From what I understand is that it is asking me to put a list of guild_ids where I want the command to work. But HOW do I find these guild_ids?

@silver moat I know but I want to know how to make it specific to certain guilds.

Hence, I want to find out HOW to find the guild_ids

young bone
#

right click at the server and copy the id

remote cove
#

Yes I know that exists. Is there a way to do it in Python where I don't have to individually go to every server where the bot is in?

silver moat
remote cove
#

Maybe I phrased it wrongly. I don't want a global command.
I want to:

  1. Find the guild_ids for which the bot has (find out what server(s) the bot is in)
  2. Use the guild_ids argument so that I can only allow certain guilds to use the command

My problem is that I don't know how to do (1) via Python. I know that it can be done manually by copying the id in Discord.

young bone
#

but you know the basic´s of Python?

silver moat
#

do you not want the bot to work in DMs or something?

#

Global commands work in every guild.

remote cove
#

@young bone I'm still learning but I think I know the basics.

@silver moat I just want to limit the commands to certain guilds not all guilds.

Do you have an idea how to make it visible that you have to select something? So that it is a mandatory information?
My original idea was to make the select menus red and when everything is filled in make them green but that doesn't work.

#

now realizing this means i shouldnt actually be doing this style of stuff

#

oops

cyan quail
# drowsy python ```py class buttons(discord.ui.View): def __init__(self, bot): self....

2 main ways

  1. have separate functions; each function should have a single button decorator, and you handle the logic for that specific button instead of all of them ```py
    @button(label="Reject")
    async def reject_button(self, button interaction):
    ...

@button(label="Accept")
async def accept_button(self, button interaction):
...2) Define more buttons inside `init` and assign the callbackspy
def init(self, bot):
reject = discord.ui.Button(...)
accept = discord.ui.Button(...)
reject.callback = self.callback
accept.callback = self.callback
super().init(reject, accept, ...)

async def callback(self, interaction):
...```

drowsy python
#

ok this is actually insanely helpful, tysm

cyan quail
#

or 3) create interaction_check inside your view which will act as a "callback" for the entire view

#

this isn't exactly intended and so some people recommend against it but it works...

drowsy python
#

i'll do the second one you suggested, seems cleanest

#

ty for the aid!

cyan quail
#

allgood

#

though be cautious; a standard callback without the decorator doesn't have a button argument, only interaction. in this case you should either:

  • use interaction.custom_id to identify what was pressed
  • if you need the button object itself, use self.get_item(custom_id)
drowsy python
#

gotcha

drowsy python
cyan quail
#

your original placement was fine

#

i just did it like that as an example since you can initialize a view with items with that format instead of using add_item

drowsy python
#

ahh ok

#

since i just did it blindly and well

timeout should be last

Hey, i got a quick question. Is it "bad" to use intents.all() even if we don't need all of them ?
In my case i use the none() then i enable the ones i need, but i see a lot of people enabling all of them even for basic bots, so i question myself xD

grizzled sentinel
quasi stratus
#

Thanks for the answer !
But message content is needed for commands no ?

grizzled sentinel

Prefix commands yes, slash commands no

quasi stratus

👌

proud mason
#

that is the only correct way

cyan quail
#

That's what I already suggested

#

Oh wait

#

Who the hell subclasses button

proud mason
cyan quail
#

I mean I guess you can but they were like 90% of the way there with the decorator

proud mason
#

subclassing button is much better than doing button.callback = some_func ngl

cyan quail
#

Not really

proud mason
#

Especially when you have 3 buttons which do the same thing

cyan quail
#

You can subclass but ultimately it's accomplishing the same thing without making too many jumps

proud mason
#

cleaner to read imo shrug

heyhey
I get a message from a slash command, and in response I want to send a file and nothing else.
my current code is

                await ctx.send(file=discord.File(f"showorder.txt"))
                return

But right now it keeps saying "waiting for bot to respond" (which makes sense because I'm not doing a ctx.respond)
Is there a way to e.g. respond with an empty message, or let discord know I've sent a response but not to respond with a message?

Note that if the object was created manually then this will be ``0``. name: :class:`str` The name of the tag. Can only be up to 20 characters. moderated: :class:`bool` Whether this tag can only be added or removed by a moderator with the :attr:`~Permissions.manage_threads` permission. emoji: :class:`PartialEmoji` The emoji that is used to represent this tag. Note that if the emoji is a custom emoji, it will *not* have name information. """

#

(it's designed this way because that's how it's done on the API)

quasi stratus
#

Yeah i saw that, but how do i create a forum tag ?
I thought of the solution create tag + append to available tags but i need to create one before, and i can't generate ids etc...

cyan quail
#

that is how you make them

quasi stratus
#

It's not an issue if its created manually ?
Like the id is going to be 0

cyan quail
#

it'll get a proper ID when it's sent to discord

quasi stratus
#

Ho i see

#

Thansk for the answers

that being said it would be more convenient if we created our own methods to make this easier

I want the buttons associated with the embed to be randomized

#

here are the buttons

proud mason
#

Are you trying to do like, random 1 of the 4 buttons is the right one?

knotty brook
proud mason
#

Ah

#

1 way would be to add buttons using view.add_item instead of the decorator

#

Oh wait there is a better way

knotty brook
proud mason
#

Try using random.shuffle on self.children

proud mason
knotty brook
#

Im trying to use this

ah it aint workin

#

its same sequence everytime

proud mason
#

I'm not sure if this would work

So try it and see

knotty brook
knotty brook
#

i had another query

#

can i ask if u dont mind ?

proud mason
proud mason
knotty brook
# proud mason Sure

Ok so i want to fetch for the button if its the correct one pressed and display "You choose the correct one"

#

in this case

And random fruit is defined in slash command

It generates a random fruit name everytime as expected

If yes then you should subclass Button

Why do I always get this error when I want to edit my interaction?

await message.edit_original_response('This is a Test', view=await View(self.bot, data, False))```

proud mason
#

content="..."

proud mason
#

that is an example of subclassed Button

green hinge
proud mason

i would do smth like

class MyButton(discord.ui.Button):

    if self.label == self.view.correct_label:
        ...

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(...):

    label_list = [...]
    random.shuffle(label_list)

      self.add_item(MyButton(label=label))

    return await ctx.respond(embed = wrong)
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^

yes i have given ctx as and attribute

quasi stratus
proud mason
knotty brook
#

OR maybe wait i need to send_message

cuz buttons

#

How do i disable the buttons after certain period ?

quasi stratus
#

If you don't mind disabling all the children after a period you can give a timeout to your view

knotty brook
#

or like this

image.png
quasi stratus
#

Yeah

#

You can give it as a parameter

knotty brook
#

i can still click the buttons

full basin
#

It's on_timeout and it's a method

The disable_on_timeout is set to False by default

slash commands use get_application_command

also if it's a slash command, you can use command.mention to have a mention-style output of the command

ye, i could do that for the slash variant, but it's not going to work the same way in the ext variant?
thanks anyways

proud mason
#

bridge was made so that it would work the same with slash and prefix

untold terrace
#

say i wanna have command structure such as this:

group1
  -subcmd1
  -subgroup1
    -subcmd2

is it possible to have this structure both in slash and ext? the methods you linked me are from the slash variant. do i understand correctly that if i'll make a subgroup here, it won't be reflected in the ext variant? (i won't be able to type say !group1 subgroup1 subcmd2)
or am i being crazy and if i'll add a subgroup in the BridgeSlashGroup it's actually going to work in the message command magically?

#

sorry if im being stupid or smth

proud mason
#

there is decorator for the groups

#

i forgot bout that

#

stupid me 💀

#

also see if the github example has it

errant craneBOT
#

Here's the bridge commands example.

but how to use that decorator to actually make subgroups? i figured how to make regular groups, but still no idea how to implement a structure i provided above

omg im even more stupid 💀

i should really get that sleep man

i think its kinda impossible. i looked through ext.commands and there's just nothing on subgroups.

Hi, in my button callback from a button (the message has two buttons) I want to access the other button and change the label. this is how I do it:

                for row in components:
                    if isinstance(row, ActionRow):
                        for button in row.children:
                            if button.custom_id == "no_button":
                                current_label = button.label

                                match = re.search(r'\d+', current_label)
                                number2 = int(match.group())
                                print("nummer 3: " + str(number2))

                                button.label = f"No ({str(number2 - 1)})"
                                print("nummer 4: " + str(number2 - 1))
``` the problem is that my IDE says this in the line `if button.custom_id == "no_button`: `Unresolved attribute reference 'custom_id' for class 'Component'`

and this: `'Component' object attribute 'label' is read-only, 'Component' object has no attribute 'label' ` in this line: `button.label = f"No ({str(number2 - 1)})` 

how can I solve this?
full basin
#

View.children returns a list with the buttons or whatever you have in your view

#

Just index it and change the label

hey im looking for a suggestion, how can i make a modal dialog have like a boolean value for the question ( i wanted to integrate a select menu inside a modal but found that, that it is not supported) for example if the question is something like "Are you homeless?" and i want the users to have like two options to choose from "yes" or "no" , if you can give me any suggestion how can i make this as user friendly as possible i would appreciate it

young bone

i think asking the question and having the user input the value is too problematic

when it's a yes or no question

I dont know which Library is supporting it

Py-cord is not supporting it

of implementing that

Is there a clever way to sanitize a user string input that will eventually be used with Embed.set_image(url=str)? I noticed inputing something simple like "test" will crash the Embed routine.

My leading idea is a regular expression, but I wasn't sure if there was an easier object based approach or something...

image urls come in many formats, discord itself doesn't validate anything
