[fervent cradle]

i feel like this is a pretty common thing but i have a problem in my code that makes it so that every time i send a command it says command not found while i coded a command

[young bone]

Do you have on_message some where?

[fervent cradle]

let me check

No

Could that be the problem?

[young bone]

Yes

[fervent cradle]

Ah

so do i need to put on message send or smth like that

[young bone]

No

I mean the error

That usually happens if you have the on_message Event and you try to use a command

[fervent cradle]

oh

could this have something to do with it?

[cyan quail]

can you show the full file?

[fervent cradle]

let me try to send it

[cyan quail]

if you paste it then it'll probably embed so go for it

or wrap it in codeblock with ```py

[fervent cradle]

oh ok

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='h!', intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have awaken the beast')

client.run('token')

@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send("Pong!")

@client.command()
async def pingtest(ctx):
await ctx.send(f'Pong! {round(client.latency * 1000)}ms')

@client.command(aliases=['8ball', 'test3'])
async def _8ball(ctx, *, question):
responses = ['Surely',
'yes',
'definitely',
'mhm',
'probably',
'maybe not',
'maybe',
'No',
'Never',
'definitely not',
'nope',
]
await ctx.send(f'Question: {question}\nAnswer {random.choice(responses)} ')

posting it like ``that` didn't work

[cyan quail]

you should have client.run at the end

[fervent cradle]

oh

[cyan quail]

next time try it like this```py
```py
code...
```

ah oh well

close enough, without slashes

[fervent cradle]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='h!', intents=intents)


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have awaken the beast')


client.run('token')


@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")


@client.command()
async def pingtest(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f'Pong! {round(client.latency * 1000)}ms')


@client.command(aliases=['8ball', 'test3'])
async def _8ball(ctx, *, question):
    responses = ['Surely',
                 'yes',
                 'definitely',
                 'mhm',
                 'probably',
                 'maybe not',
                 'maybe',
                 'No',
                 'Never',
                 'definitely not',
                 'nope',
                 ]
    await ctx.send(f'Question: {question}\nAnswer {random.choice(responses)} ')...

here we go

[young bone]

client.run at the end pls

[cyan quail]

but yeah, client.run is blocking so nothing after that will run

[fervent cradle]

yeah i did that

[young bone]

client.run has to be the last line at the file

[fervent cradle]

i just copied the previous code

to see if id work

 intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='h!', intents=intents)


@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")


@client.command()
async def pingtest(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f'Pong! {round(client.latency * 1000)}ms')


@client.command(aliases=['8ball', 'test3'])
async def _8ball(ctx, *, question):
    responses = ['Surely',
                 'yes',
                 'definitely',
                 'mhm',
                 'probably',
                 'maybe not',
                 'maybe',
                 'No',
                 'Never',
                 'definitely not',
                 'nope',
                 ]
    await ctx.send(f'Question: {question}\nAnswer {random.choice(responses)} ')




@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have awaken the beast')


client.run('token') 

so uh ill see if it works

IT WORKED

Tysm

[pallid token]

So I'm having some issues that when a command takes a bit to execute, it times out and I get a NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction.
I was wondering how long Discord expects a response after (seems to be within a second or two) and how I might address it. Was thinking of maybe sending a message and then editing it when it's done processing? Is there an easy way to send that message as a response, keep executing and then update it later using the same context?

[full basin]

3 seconds.

If your responses takes more than that, you should defer

[pallid token]

Thanks 🙂

So when deferring... If you send a response, you end up with the InteractionResponded error. Just wondering if there is a way to know when to use followup.send("Hi"). Do I have to shield all potential responses in a try-except block and instead use followup.send if the error occurs?

(I handle some of my errors in a separate cog-wide method)

The reason I ask is because I would rather cut down on unnecessary requests to Discord.

Ignore my previous messages. Found a solution.

[full basin]

If you're in a slash command, the library handles the followups by itself. You just .respond()

[undone falcon]

is there a way to reduced the RAM usage of the bot ?

[quasi mulch]

Disable various caching options. Set max_messages to a lower number so less messages are cached. Edit your bot's member_cache_flags. Disable chunk_guilds_at_startup (if you don't have the member intent enabled)

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

Anyone know why my AutoShardedBot won't start more than 25 shards even though I've asked it to start 32? It's in 28.8k guilds so I don't need more shards yet, but I like keeping up with about 1 shard per 1k guilds. Please ping me if you respond 👍

[undone falcon]

thank you ! I just check and I am already using the minimum ! Do you know if you can limit what information you save in member. I just need in a member it id and roles, nothing else

[quasi mulch]

Not that I know of, no, member cache does eat up a ton of RAM for sure. I have a bot in 3k servers with member cache enabled that runs at 7-8gb RAM constantly

[undone falcon]

yeah and it is fill with a bunch of information that I dont use and just take up space for nothing

[undone falcon]

yeah it become big very fast

I only have 4 Gb of ram to in my server ahaha

[cyan quail]

then just disable the member intent

[undone falcon]

but I need the roles and id, but not everytihng else

[cyan quail]

then disable chunk_guilds_at_startup in your bot class

by default, when the bot starts up it will go through every guild and cache all members

that kwarg will toggle it

[undone falcon]

yes I need that, I am asking if I can remove information in the member I dont need. So I can only cache information on member I need

[cyan quail]

the other information is miniscule... you can't just erase the rest of the contents of the class

unless you want to completely rewrite the member object and how the library interacts with it

[undone falcon]

I mean deleting for exemple the text of bio, words of the day, usernames ,etc

[cyan quail]

depending on your use case, chances are you don't need every member cached; you can still recieve members through commands and events, or fetch by ID

bio text isn't even on the api...

[undone falcon]

I am giving example, not saying it is

[undone falcon]

but if I dont cache the member, how can I get them by id, I will not have their id

[cyan quail]

if you just want role and user IDs and nothing else then this library isn't for you, you're better off making http requests directly

cache just means to have them on hand at all possible times; that doesn't mean you can't see them at all

for example, every interaction comes with a member object

[undone falcon]

if for exemples I do for member in guild.members: and it is not in caches. Will it fetch them

[cyan quail]

ultimately it depends on what your bot does

you can fetch all members with await guild.fetch_members

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

that being said, you should use this sparingly

[undone falcon]

if I do that, can I remove some member in the caches after ?

[cyan quail]

that won't cache them, it's an iterator

[undone falcon]

ooh I see, thank you !

if I dont have members in the caches, what could be in the members attribute in a Role object ?

[cyan quail]

probably an empty list

[undone falcon]

I see i would probably need to construct that list myseft !

thank you for your help !

[undone falcon]

can I only cache the members I need (I got all their id in a database) ?

[cyan quail]

just fetch them

assuming you don't need every member at once, you can use guild.fetch_member

[undone falcon]

once I fetch them 1 time, they will be in the cache for next uses ?

[cyan quail]

don't think so

[silver moat]

no because it may be stale

[undone falcon]

is there a way I can add them in the cache in that case ?

[silver moat]

right now we only add/change things to cache via events

[cyan quail]

well

if you want to modify the cache manually, you can use guild._add_member

and it'll probably update fine after that

but we can't help much further since it's a private method

[undone falcon]

oooh I see ! I will try that. Thank you !

[cyan quail]

interestingly enough, MemberConverter also does this for you which is nice

so even prefix commands with a Member argument will cache the member object

[undone falcon]

oh that is pretty nice !

[solemn idol]

... Client

[cyan quail]

(client was only the variable name, the issue was something else)

[dry cove]

        pages__ = []
        files_ =  []
        for filename in os.listdir("./assets/examples"):
            embed = discord.Embed(title=filename[:-4], color=config.primary_color)
            file = discord.File(f"assets/examples/{filename}", filename=f"{filename}")
            embed.set_image(url=f"attachment://{filename}")
            pages__.append(embed)
            files_.append(file)
        page = 0
        pagelist = [
            pages.PaginatorButton(
                "first", emoji=':left:', style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray
            ),
            pages.PaginatorButton("prev", emoji=":left:", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray),
            pages.PaginatorButton(
                "page_indicator", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, disabled=True
            ),
            pages.PaginatorButton("next", emoji=":right:", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray),
            pages.PaginatorButton("last", emoji=":right:", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray),
        ]
        paginator = pages.Paginator(
            pages=pages__,
            show_disabled=True,
            show_indicator=True,
            use_default_buttons=False,
            custom_buttons=pagelist,
            loop_pages=False
        )
        await paginator.respond(ctx.interaction,files=files_)

Im getting this error Paginator.respond() got an unexpected keyword argument 'files'

[grizzled sentinel]

I belive that each page has its own files. So you will need to set the files per page and not overall.

Instead of adding an embed to pages__ you should add a Page object with files and embeds set

[dry cove]

👍 works

[jaunty jewel]

app command can be only visible to one person 🤨

[young bone]

no why?

[jaunty jewel]

was thinking about making a command for the bot admin 🤡

[odd prairie]

How to reset a dropdown's displayed value? The goal is to get the first picture each time you select something, yet I get the second one.

[cyan quail]

you have to edit the message again with the same view

(in a subclassed view, this would be view=self)

[odd prairie]

I used self here!

await interaction.edit_original_response(
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "Lockdown Setup",
        description = "**Channels to lockdown 🔒:**\n" + 'whatever',
        color = colors().blurple
    ),
    view = self
)

[young bone]

You can set the bot owner id but everyone else will still see the commands

[cyan quail]

the best you could do is sync the command to a private server with guild_ids

[jaunty jewel]

ye that's right, sometimes just pops a broken ideas

[cyan quail]

or if you have admin in the guild you can edit the permissions in server settings > integrations

[jaunty jewel]

unsafe by somehow 🗿

[odd prairie]

So I switched devices, and it appears the view will only reset on mobile! That's not a problem though, I'll find a workaround later. For now everything's fine, thanks!

[cyan quail]

It's not that it only resets on mobile, the drop-down selection is client based

So it would typically reset after refreshing

Or, as you tried, it's different on another device

The only workaround for this being to send the view again to forcefully reset it

[odd prairie]

I'll remove and add again the view! Here's the result for now:

[coarse cargo]

Hey there guys, i have 2 files main.py and colors.py. In the second i have a function that contains a dictionary and returns it unpacked. So in the first file i import this function and i want to use it for format a string. But i get a KeyError

This is my code:

# colors.py

class TerminalColors:
    header = '\033[95m'
    purple = '\033[0;35m'
    blue = '\033[94m'
    cyan = '\033[96m'
    green = '\033[92m'
    red = '\033[91m'
    orange = '\033[93m'
    yellow = '\033[0;33m'
    bold = '\033[1m'
    underline = '\033[4m'
    end = '\033[0m'


def get_colorsformat():
    color_vars = {
        'header': f'{TerminalColors.header}',
        'purple': f'{TerminalColors.purple}',
        'blue': f'{TerminalColors.blue}',
        'cyan': f'{TerminalColors.cyan}',
        'green': f'{TerminalColors.green}',
        'red': f'{TerminalColors.red}',
        'orange': f'{TerminalColors.orange}',
        'yellow': f'{TerminalColors.yellow}',
        'bold': f'{TerminalColors.bold}',
        'underline': f'{TerminalColors.underline}',
        'end': f'{TerminalColors.end}',
        'TIME': f'{datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")}',
    }

    return {**color_vars}

And my other code

# main.py

print(log.format(get_colorsformat(), USERNAME=f"{interaction.user.name}",
                             CHANNEL_NAME=f"{interaction.channel}"))

[grizzled sentinel]

Can you share the full error

Does format take all of those kwargs anyways?

[coarse cargo]

Yup

[coarse cargo]

Ignoring exception in view <PanelView timeout=None children=1> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> url=None disabled=False label='Open a Ticket' emoji=<PartialEmoji animated=False name=':incoming_envelope:' id=None> row=None>:

  File "C:\Users\Federico\Desktop\TicketBot\main.py", line 187, in button_callback
    print(log.format(get_colorsformat(), USERNAME=f"{interaction.user.name}"))
KeyError: 'bold'

This is the string, i replace <> with {} before formatting it.
open_ticket: "<bold><header>LOGS<end><blue> - <cyan>The user <underline><blue>{USERNAME}<end><green> created<cyan> a new ticket<blue> - <cyan>{TIME}"

[grizzled sentinel]

What if you just returned the dict and unpacked it in the format function directly.

[coarse cargo]

I use the function for format every log i dont want to have all these duplicates

[grizzled sentinel]

Sorry I'm not knolagable enough with unpacking to help.

[slate arrow]

Does Anyone Know How To Add Slowmode To A Server Using Pycord

[grizzled sentinel]

.rtfm TextChannel.set_slo

[winter condor]

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

[slate arrow]

what?

[coarse cargo]

Don't worry

[patent knoll]

i have this but members can still use that command - is this me being stupid or?

[slow halo]

Does anyone has the same Problem with guild.fetch_auto_moderation_rules() ???

i always get the Error

AttributeError: 'Guild' object has no attribute 'fetch_auto_moderation_rules'

but https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Guild shows that Function is there....

[patent knoll]

screenshot your code

[slow halo]

would be a lot xD

okay...found it.....didnt had the current version and i thought i updated it with "pip install pycord"....but nope

[patent knoll]

the part where you use that function

[slow halo]

py-cord would have been correct

[patent knoll]

you need to do pip install py-cord

yea, idk if its just typosquatting or an old package

[slow halo]

now i have 2.4.1...and now its working

[silver moat]

pycord is a old package and we have asked them before to change their package name, which they didn't.

[patent knoll]

okay what tf do i put here lol, i tried everything from a string "MANAGE_GUILD" to discord.Permissions.manage_guild and idk anymore

[silver moat]

try switching the order:

@command_decorator
@command_cooldown
@command_check

[patent knoll]

okay, that worked, but its a different "owner" check than i thought lmao
now i need this

[glad remnant]

Hello, anyone knows how to fix this? It add reaction but print error in log

[young bone]

Do you have intents?

[glad remnant]

Yeah, it was because of ephemeral message before. That was causing that error

[patent knoll]

Okay so what i can tell from the actual discord.Permissions file is that discord.Permissions.ban_members should return 1 << 2
however it just doesnt work when i put it into default_member_permissions, but it does work if i manually write 1 << 2 there

[patent knoll]

How do I properly do this with bridge commands?

[cyan quail]

you should be using a discord.Permissions(...) object

[patent knoll]

i tried that

[cyan quail]

you said discord.Permissions.manage_guild

but what you want is discord.Permissions(manage_guild=True)

[patent knoll]

oh..

[cyan quail]

alternatively, the @discord.default_permissions decorator already uses that syntax

[patent knoll]

which one is better to use

[cyan quail]

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

they do the same thing

just a matter of convenience

[patent knoll]

and they cause this popup?

[cyan quail]

they should

ah wait

[cyan quail]

for bridge, you want @bridge.has_permissions

[patent knoll]

i see, thx

[candid coral]

Can you name a method that waits for a response after a given command?

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.wait_for

Depends what kind of response you need just a message would be the "message" event

[topaz ruin]

Is there a way to download a file that's been sent with a command?
eg a user types /upload along with a file that has been attached and the file will be downloaded by the bot. i've been looking for tutorials but all
the ones i've found use "ctx.message.attachments[0]" but all that does is output the following error: "discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'attachments'".
is there something i'm missing, or is this some obvious fault on my part

[young bone]

"NoneType"

[topaz ruin]

meaning it cant find the file?

[full basin]

It means the message is None

A slash command doesnt have a message

[topaz ruin]

i see

so is it possible to do in another way?

[young bone]

file: discord.Attachment and file would have anything

[cyan quail]

if it's a slash command, you should be using a Attachment option correct?

[topaz ruin]

yes

i was using that

[full basin]

show your code

[cyan quail]

then all you want is attachment.save https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Attachment.save

whatever the variable name you used is

[topaz ruin]

i dont have the code anymore as it didnt work, so i removed it from the bot

[young bone]

lol

[topaz ruin]

wait no actually i wasnt using this

[cyan quail]

(you should)

[fervent cradle]

i wanna send an embed with the users remaining subscription time here?

how would i do this part?

like regarding sending the embed

would i send it when i send ManageSubscriptionMenu?

or in ManageSubscriptionMenu

[fervent cradle]

nvm

[grizzled sentinel]

I think you got it but here is the answer.
Embeds and views are sent attached to a message. You cannot attach an embed to a view.

[fervent cradle]

async def checkSubscriptionInfo(discord_id):
    plex_data = await db_plex["plex"].find_one({"discord_id": discord_id})
    user_data = await db_payments["plex"].find_one({"discord_id": discord_id})
    print(user_data)
    print(plex_data)
    print(discord_id)```

can someone help me with this? trying for hours

None
None

it prints this when ran

fuck im stupid thats not my id

[distant roost]

How do i force a member to input a role in an slash command? Like channel=discord.TextChannel or member=discord.Member? I tried role=discord.Role but that didn’t work

[proud mason]

Input type is a typehint, not a default value

- role = discord.Role
+ role: discord.Role

[coarse spire]

trying to add voice recording to my discord bot, but when I try to import PyNaCl, I get the error: ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.recording' raised an error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynacl'

even though that I have installed it.
Anyone has any idea on how to solve this?

[proud mason]

why are you trying to import that?

also, the module name is nacl

[coarse spire]

It said I had to import PyNaCl for voice support

[proud mason]

you just need to install it, no need to import it

[coarse spire]

oh, ok

[proud mason]

can you share the line where it says that?

ill ask to get it changed

[coarse spire]

well, I don't have access to that line anymore as my host doesn't allow scrollback so far 😕 And I can't uninstall PyNaCl either now without reinstalling the whole server

[agile dust]

can anyone tell me how to make buttons and responses to when the button is clicked?

[proud mason]

why do you need to uninstall it now?

[coarse spire]

to get the line where it said that, I need to first uninstall the module again

[proud mason]

oh nvm then lol

[patent knoll]

views

In short
Subclass a view and then add your stuff to it
Here's an example of my own button that does exactly that

It looks like a lot but most of that is just code for my specific purpose, the only stuff you truly need is the constructor, @discord.ui.button() and the callback
the callback is what happens when the button is pressed

[proud mason]

check out the guide too

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[patent knoll]

does this code look messy lol

[patent knoll]

wouldnt it be smart to remove the embed for the bot

[proud mason]

true

[agile dust]

thanks

[coarse spire]

How can I create a new automod rule using PyCord? I couldn't really find much information about it

[distant roost]

I saw that as well xD Thank you tho

[patent knoll]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Guild.create_auto_moderation_rule

[coarse spire]

Thanks 🙂

[topaz ruin]

this works, thank you 👍

Hello there, I wonder how to use external emojis with interaction.response.edit_message, because when my bot edits message, it will unload all the external emoji and display just a text :Emoji:

[patent knoll]

are you sure you are formatting the emojis correctly if its custom emojis

[formal wadi]

Yes, with send_message they load

But after edit_message they will unload

[patent knoll]

show your code

[formal wadi]

Its a bit long

[patent knoll]

just the edit part

[formal wadi]

Shouldn't we go to dms?

[patent knoll]

its fine

[grizzled sentinel]

No, we never get mad about posting a lot of code here

[formal wadi]

I have dict

emoji = {
"shark" : ":Shark:",
"tuna" : ":Tuna:"
}

The function that will extract value from dict by key (works properly)

Then function to build embed

async def BuildEmbed(args):
emoji = GetEmoji("shark")
embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "Title",
        description = "",
        color = discord.Colour.blurple(),

    )
    embed.add_field(name = "Shark:", value = emoji, inline = False)

Command

@bot.slash_command()
async def fish(ctx):
    await ctx.respond(f"{ctx.author.mention}!", view=MainView(ctx))

MainView has for example button to select fish you want to display (emoji)

async def callback(self, interaction):
        if interaction.user.id == self.ctx.author.id:
            await interaction.response.send_message( embed = await BuildEmbed(fish), view = self.View)

And on another line

await interaction.response.edit_message(embed = await BuildEmbed(fish, view=self.View)

The dict, discord removed my emoji IDs

This should be enough to understand, on send_message external emoji works properly, but on edit_message they will unload and display plain text, also bot is member of server where I store the external emoji

And on that server it works properly, they wont unload

[grizzled sentinel]

await interaction.response.edit_message(embed = await BuildEmbed(fish, view=self.View) I think you are missing a ) after fish

[formal wadi]

Yes, but not in the code

Code works properly, there is only problem with the external emoji from another server

If I will use local emoji then everything is fine

[grizzled sentinel]

Can yo ushow getEmoji function

[formal wadi]

def GetEmoji(key):
    for name, value in emoji.items():
        if name == key:
            return value

[grizzled sentinel]

So if they are custom emojis why are you not using the IDs in your emoji dict?

[cyan quail]

this sounds more like a discord issue than a library thing

[proud mason]

Why not just use emoji.get(key) instead of using this needless function

[proud mason]

That's a know discord issue iirc. Interactions are basically webhooks. And editing messages using webhooks needs the everyone role to have the use external emojis perms

Try that

[formal wadi]

Okay I will try

[formal wadi]

Seems like it is working

[proud mason]

nice

[formal wadi]

Oh maybe not, I forget to edit code

I tried it with message.delete and then response.send_message

Doesn't matter, it works anyways

Thank you!

[patent knoll]

currently trying to catch a cooldown error, but this seems to not work

[young bone]

can you show how you define the event?

[cyan quail]

on_application_command_error

[young bone]

that is for prefix commands you have to use on_application_command_error

lul

@patent knoll ^^

[patent knoll]

oof

[cyan quail]

(also not necessary, but i'd personally make it ephemeral)

[river summit]

Is it possible to use slash cog groups with different classes (difficult to explain)?

I have a folder with games for the bot and in order to organize things I use different python files with different classes (/flip & /rps are in different python files). How do I access a slash cog group without the two commands being in one class? Is it possible?

[cyan quail]

see https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1015563296784515082

[patent knoll]

the order matters, right? i am currently switching them around because it only works with the cooldown below the bridge decorator

[patent knoll]

i know, doing that

[cyan quail]

Yes, the command decorator should always be first

[formal wadi]

Is there any way to clear parameter file in message?
For example I have send_message(content = "This is your image", file = image)
And then something like edit_message(content = "Do you like it?", file = None) -> Error

[patent knoll]

what is the error

also i dont get why you'd basically wanna hide the pic again

[river summit]

try:

content = "Do you like it?", file = []

[formal wadi]

Just creating some menu and want to implement back button

discord.errors.InvalidArgument: file parameter must be a File

[proud mason]

Pass an empty list to the attachments kwarg

Also try None if empty list doesn't work

[formal wadi]

Both doesnt work

[worn void]

how do I integrate my classes for select menus/buttons into cogs?

[patent knoll]

I don't actually think you can delete an attachment from a mesage

You can in the discord UI but there seems to be no way to do it via the API
you could try to pass a 1x1 image

[formal wadi]

Then is there any other way to use local images?

[patent knoll]

try passing some .png 1x1 image

here

[formal wadi]

async def GetFile(fish):
    fish_id = fish["id"]
    file_name = f"{fish_id}.png"
    file_path = f"images/fish/{file_name}"
    file = discord.File(file_path, filename = file_name)
    return fil

file = await GetFile(fish)

[patent knoll]

ah, uh, wait lmfao

[formal wadi]

I use this to load an image

[patent knoll]

here, there's a 1x1 image inside (cant send it because its too tiny to copy)

[proud mason]

Yes you can

[patent knoll]

then how?

[formal wadi]

And then this in embed

embed.set_image(url = f"attachment://{fish_id}.png")

[patent knoll]

actually

try passing attachments=[]

[worn void]

how do I integrate my classes for select menus/buttons into cogs?

[patent knoll]

I personally put them into a utils file somewhere else

[formal wadi]

Uh, how do I do that?

[patent knoll]

the same way you passed file=[]

[proud mason]

What happens? Any error? Show the line how you did it

[formal wadi]

Its says it require discord.File

[worn void]

how should I do that?

[proud mason]

Read this again

And again. And again

[patent knoll]

make some file somewhere else
and then
import filename
and then you can just do filename.Class()

[patent knoll]

ah, missed that lol

[proud mason]

This person also told you exactly what to do

[formal wadi]

Didnt know message accepts attachments arg

[proud mason]

Message.edit does

[patent knoll]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Message.edit

[formal wadi]

Works, thank you!

[worn void]

but that just unorganized as having everything in 1 file?

[patent knoll]

can you retroactively upload files to existing messages via the API??

[patent knoll]

You should always have a utils file for "help" functions IMO

[proud mason]

I usually put all my View classes in a single file. Or you can also make a folder of such files

[worn void]

I'm just new to cogs and wanna move my existing code into cogs since its like 1000+ lines now lmao

[proud mason]

Yes. The both, the files and attachments kwarg allow you to do that

[patent knoll]

thats nice, wish discord allowed that normally too

[proud mason]

Files is always addition to existing files. Attachments is complete replacement

[formal wadi]

Why dont you make a file just like buttom.py, put here your button class and then import it to main file?

[proud mason]

Fr haha

[formal wadi]

Wrong message

Sorry

[proud mason]

Ah lol

[patent knoll]

thats what i told them to do :D

[worn void]

but isnt there a way to integrate it normally into cogs?

[patent knoll]

Even if you can, you kind of shouldn't IMHO
But I'm also not a __Pro__grammer so maybe more experienced people know better

[worn void]

because this is how my example cog is setup

[formal wadi]

I dont know what cogs are but I normally import my classes to main code

[patent knoll]

Yea
but why are discord and discord.ext underlined lol

[worn void]

because vscode

[patent knoll]

yea duh
but somethings wrong with that then

[young bone]

is py-cord installed?

[patent knoll]

mind the dash
VERY important

[worn void]

yes im aware

just ignore it, pycord works fine lol

[patent knoll]

see you back in 2m then :D
anyway, the way you do it is good, just add import utils at the top

[worn void]

my classes for the select menus/buttons are like 100+ lines each and having them in 1 file seems redundant

[young bone]

what is your vscode version?

[patent knoll]

you can add any type of helper functions into that

[worn void]

yeah ik and I should but

im making a sorta all purpose bot for myself

[formal wadi]

Maybe because he installed package while vscode is open

[patent knoll]

did you install pycord or py-cord :)

[worn void]

py-cord

[young bone]

oh, its a Pylance glitch

[patent knoll]

You should have them in a seperate file so that your actual code remains readable

[worn void]

mhm

[patent knoll]

works fine for me lol

[worn void]

thats what i was trying to ask

[young bone]

uninstall python and pylance and reinstall it to fix it

[worn void]

its fine thats not what im focused on lol

so can I just make a ../cogs/utils/xyz.py then in my ../cogs/Test.py I can just import xyz then use xyz.ButtonClassExample()??

[young bone]

what?

[worn void]

^

[patent knoll]

i dont know how imports work with subfolders tbfh

but basically, yea

[worn void]

i really dont think that's how that should work with cogs, and I feel like theres an actual proper way to do it

maybe im wrong tho

[patent knoll]

If you want to clutter your actual code files with class definitions (and find a way to do so in the first place) no one stops you

[full basin]

No import utils.xyz

[worn void]

im saying I feel like theres a proper way to organize your classes for buttons/selects/modals, etc while using cogs

[full basin]

Otherwise it'll look in the same folder

[worn void]

i see

can I still call zyx tho?

or do I have to do import utils.xyz as xyz

[patent knoll]

thats how you import from subfolders?

[full basin]

Imports and exports are a python thing. Not just pycord. You can do whatever you want with classes

[worn void]

yes but I mean is there not a proper method of using cogs and classes for your discord.ui stuff

[full basin]

I don't really work with subfolders but I think that's the way

[worn void]

or is the normal method just to import the file?

[full basin]

I have my uis in different files

And I just import them

[patent knoll]

you really should imo
organised and less cluttered

plus you might wanna reuse those classes in other cogs eventually

at which point its basically required anyway unless you want import hell

[worn void]

so another question, I made reaction roles with select menus, I have like 10 classes for each one category, is there a better way to do that?

[patent knoll]

yes

[worn void]

LMAO

[patent knoll]

make it one flexible class that takes arguments

[full basin]

Dynamic options. Indeed

[worn void]

yes thats a good idea

but that requires effort

[full basin]

Making 10 classes requires effort

[worn void]

its copied and pasted :)

[full basin]

I'm sure you a select menu with dynamic options should take more than 30 lines

[patent knoll]

in all honesty its really not that complicated

dynamic title
dynamic role selection view thing
thats.... kind of it already

hardcoding ANYTHING is a bad practice in most cases

[worn void]

thats fair

but im also not using any database because idk sql and the bot for the time being is meant for 1 server

[patent knoll]

well you need some way to make it persist between bot restarts

ideally

[worn void]

yes which already exists

by using client.add_view()

[patent knoll]

no idea what that is lolw

[worn void]

bruh.

[patent knoll]

yea if you hardcode it that works
but if you make it dynamic its not that easy if i understand your approach right

weigh your options

[worn void]

im slowly working on making the bot better lmao

currently im just moving it into cogs

how do I export the file so I can import it?

[patent knoll]

you dont

all you need is import x in the file you want it in

[worn void]

for the classes do I need to declare them as a cog in my bot.py?

with client.load_extension(extension)

[patent knoll]

no, literally just make a normal class definition

in the file itself

you really dont need to do anything in any other file other than the import statement (and then x.class() of course)

[cyan quail]

The guide has a pretty straightforward example of cogs https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs

[worn void]

How would I import utils>reaction_roles.py inside commands>fun.py

[patent knoll]

not sure how to import from folders but dark said import utils.reaction_roles

[worn void]

no, theres absolutely nothing there todo with what im doing

[cyan quail]

This is the answer yes

[cyan quail]

You were asking how to declare cogs...?

[worn void]

No module named 'utils'

[cyan quail]

What is your folder structure

[worn void]

oh sorry i forgot to send it

[cyan quail]

How about .utils then

[worn void]

hm?

[cyan quail]

.utils.reaction_roles

[worn void]

syntax error

[cyan quail]

Does it actually error though

[worn void]

yes

[cyan quail]

Then how about cogs.utils

[patent knoll]

then just try import ./utils/reaction_roles

[cyan quail]

/ isn't valid syntax for imports

[patent knoll]

dang

[cyan quail]

It's .

[patent knoll]

utils.reaction_roles already works tho? lol

[full basin]

Why the . Before

[patent knoll]

it just tells you it isnt accessed yet because you arent using it

[worn void]

yeah it worked

[cyan quail]

Because it's a relative import

[patent knoll]

lol

[worn void]

no

[patent knoll]

i mean according to your IDE it works

its just not used by you yet

[worn void]

no it doesnt

[patent knoll]

[cyan quail]

This is why I'd never use vscode for python

[patent knoll]

just do utils.reaction_roles and use it, trust me

[cyan quail]

It's not helpful at all

[worn void]

and it errors lmfao

[patent knoll]

"it errors"

[patent knoll]

screenshot the error

[worn void]

bro

will you admit you're wrong yet?

jesus christ

[patent knoll]

now show your imports

[young bone]

https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/ maybe you should start using this ;3

[cyan quail]

Are bot.py and cogs in the same folder

[worn void]

yes

[cyan quail]

Because if so, it should be cogs.utils.reaction_roles

[worn void]

this works

[cyan quail]

Nice

[worn void]

toothy is just trying to argue even lmfao

[patent knoll]

oh wait, i thought utils was a subdirectory of cogs

bruh

[worn void]

also this isnt from bot.py this code is in fun.py

[patent knoll]

id recommend making it a subfolder of cogs, so that you can import it with the current import statement

[cyan quail]

It ran relative from root so it's fine

[patent knoll]

try from utils import filename

[worn void]

await ctx.respond("no :3", ephemeral=True, view=reaction_roles.SelectMenu())```
this returns `AttributeError: module 'cogs.utils.reaction_roles' has no attribute 'SelectMenu'`
even though the SelectMenu class is inside reaction_roles.py

[patent knoll]

wait no

i give up lol

screenshot your reaction_roles file

[worn void]

I just imported discord, and pasted my classes which i assume is wrong but

@patent knoll ^

[patent knoll]

@worn void

[worn void]

wait nvm now it works somehow

[patent knoll]

hm
i could only imagine there's still something weird with your import because that should work if the file got imported

[worn void]

that's actually just really easy to do lmfao

i thought i would have to change stuff to use cogs

[full basin]

What's your file structure

[worn void]

the names are wrong btw

[proud mason]

why did no one suggest from utils import reaction_roles

[worn void]

good question

[patent knoll]

i did

[worn void]

no module named utils

[proud mason]

oh must have missed it then lol

[worn void]

i changed it to cogs.utils

[proud mason]

and what about from .utils import reaction_roles

[worn void]

you cant have a . at the start

from cogs.utils import reaction_roles works

[proud mason]

ah right. cogs are loaded at the bot level, not the cog level

weird thing even i used to encounter

[worn void]

oh also how could I make some easy configs for myself in bot.py to use in other files?

[proud mason]

iirc, the imports should be as per the main file, even in cogs

[proud mason]

do you want to make util functions in main file, but want to use them in cogs/other files?

[worn void]

??

[proud mason]

bad idea

that will result in circular imports

[worn void]

so make a config.py file??

[proud mason]

yes

best to make it at the same level as the bot.py file

i wouldnt put them in the same folder as my cogs

[worn void]

config.py >

special = [1, 2 , 3 , 4]
string = "the quick brown fox.."
..


cogs > utils > reaction_roles.py >
import config
class TestClass(discord.ui):
  ..
  print(config.string)
  ..

like that?

[patent knoll]

yea

[proud mason]

yes that works

[worn void]

kk

[patent knoll]

dont tell me you have your bot token right in your bot.py too

[worn void]

I don't

import config

dotenv_path = Path('token.env')
load_dotenv(dotenv_path=dotenv_path)

token = os.getenv(config.token)

[patent knoll]

not quite what i expected

[worn void]

I can alternate between tokens as well

that's why it pulls from the config

[cyan quail]

I mean you can, vscode just sucks

[worn void]

i dont think that's vscode but ok

[cyan quail]

It's the default typechecker that vscode uses

So I'm blaming vscode

[worn void]

even if I add it with notepad and run the code it wont work lmao

im using cmd to run the bot anyways

[agile dust]

why am i always getting this error on startup? I have installed pycord correctly and I do not have a running version of dpy installed

[silver moat]

?tag replit-install

[obtuse junco]

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

[agile dust]

also btw i will not use replit for hosting im just using it to code it for now

thanks for the response

[agile dust]

i did what the script said but this still shows up

[young bone]

Why? ;3

[agile dust]

it's convenient

[young bone]

is something still installed? Sometimes you even have to create a new Replit project to get it working

I checked every Command, and there was no not unique one

@young bone

[harsh dust]

what's the maximum amount of commands a SlashCommandGroup can have?

[silver moat]

25 sub command groups and each sub command groups can have 25 sub commands

[woeful skiff]

btw how can i see the line of my not unique command ?

[silver moat]

You cannot. Try listing them.

[woeful skiff]

BROOOOOOOOOOOO

[silver moat]

65 is the index so it would be your 66th command

[woeful skiff]

That helped me alot

[woeful skiff]

Also bot.event included?

[silver moat]

no, only top-level slash commands, user commands, and message commands

[woeful skiff]

OHH ok

Tysm

But also bot.command?

[silver moat]

.

If you are referring to text-based commands, no

[woeful skiff]

Ok

Ty

[fervent cradle]

What change in pycord3?

[young bone]

Anything

[fervent cradle]

General

[woeful skiff]

Fixed

[silver moat]

basically everything for the sake of modernization, future implementation, and speed basically.

[fervent cradle]

Okey, pycord3 better then py-cord 2.4.1, yes?

[silver moat]

no, because v3 is still in alpha state

and incomplete

[fervent cradle]

Thanks

[candid coral]

How can an ID be changed to a mention or any other information?

ctx.author.id
Reversed
???

[cyan quail]

most objects have a mention attribute that does it for you

[coarse spire]

<@{ctx.author.id}> or that ^

[candid coral]

ID as a number:
586562858595385356

[cyan quail]

yes

[coarse spire]

You can just use ctx.author.mention for example

[cyan quail]

do you mean you have an ID, and want to get a User/Member object?

[candid coral]

Can I just do this?
ID = 586562858595385356
f"<@{ID}>"

[coarse spire]

Yes, if you want to mention them only

[candid coral]

Yes

[cyan quail]

if you want the object, use guild.get_member(id)

or bot.get_user(id)

or if your bot doesn't share any servers with the user, you will have to use bot.fetch_user
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.fetch_user

[candid coral]

How I can separate databases into different servers?

Just the way it works

[candid coral]

Thank you ❤️

[jaunty jewel]

WHY THE COGs ARE BROKEN

[solemn idol]

Why? Because things break sometimes and have to be fixed... But it takes time.
There are several issues with them but what's your issue?

[jaunty jewel]

every time i use the command cogs the command begin un responding or un registered at all

an if i used it it will just "didn't respond" then after some moments i get 404 (unknown interaction) in the console :\

[jaunty jewel]

bro its a say command ;-;

[silver moat]

show code

[jaunty jewel]

oko

[solemn idol]

Then it could be your command being broken, not necessarily a cog.
Commands on the inside of cogs should just work fine if being loaded properly.

[jaunty jewel]

:\

fnuc name :

[silver moat]

How is the cog loaded

[solemn idol]

Have you synced your commands?

[silver moat]

.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)?

[jaunty jewel]

the command is showing "sometimes" and if its it just dies

[solemn idol]

?

[silver moat]

are you running many instances of your bot

[jaunty jewel]

and about the replit (also tried to work on local) same issue

[solemn idol]

hmm synced globally or synced to a debug guild?

If you synced globally it can take a bit.

[jaunty jewel]

and the bot.sync_commands (don't remember that fr fr) make the whole commands that in the main file die (also didn'tknow WHY)

[solemn idol]

What.

[jaunty jewel]

[silver moat]

just send link to your entire repl, I'm not asking 50 questions just to find what I want.

[jaunty jewel]

wait

[silver moat]

no I mean do I have a choice

[jaunty jewel]

nope 🤷‍♂️

[solemn idol]

We're waiting 😵‍💫

[silver moat]

and they are gone

[silver moat]

senior python developer and still doesn't know python conventions.

[jaunty jewel]

:\

[solemn idol]

(we are waiting for you to show us your project so we may be able to help you)

[jaunty jewel]

bruh bro it just one command lol

[solemn idol]

Yes I know, but the issue can lie somewhere completely else, trust me I once had my bot malfunction completely due to 1 small issue somewhere else.

While I was just trying to reorganize my bot- I could not put my cog loader above my help command for no reason at all.

[jaunty jewel]

[solemn idol]

what

[jaunty jewel]

wait.. where should the cog loader to be 🤨

[young bone]

not on ready or connect

[jaunty jewel]

so that's right:\

there is a command but i think that will not effect

[young bone]

Do you use Replit?

[jaunty jewel]

for now

[young bone]

bot.say? what?

[jaunty jewel]

lol bro

respond or how ever:\

[solemn idol]

So it does get loaded and the command does get executed when you run it? Can you try adding a print statement under the await ctx.respond just to make sure it actually gets executed.
And its actually not responding.

[silver moat]

tf are you doing

[jaunty jewel]

ikik but this is a broken command idc

[silver moat]

bot.say is like v0 and like removed years ago

[jaunty jewel]

🤡

[silver moat]

that definitely produces a runtime error

[solemn idol]

Imma just note this again...

[jaunty jewel]

(the autocomplete who's type that command)

[jaunty jewel]

[solemn idol]

.

[jaunty jewel]

the highlight in VScode are some sort of "he is need a guide"

[worn void]

im using separate files for my classes and importing them into my cogs,
how do I call client? do I define it again inside the class file?

[full basin]

Why do you need the bot object there?

[worn void]

I'm using client.get_user() and client.get_channel()

[full basin]

Interaction has a client attribute

[worn void]

what is it?

[full basin]

Read the docs and see.

.rtfm interaction.client

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Interaction.client

[worn void]

thanks

also

im getting a discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.commands.admin' raised an error: TypeError: issubclass() arg 1 must be a class error when I try to register the cog

nvm i found it

[coarse spire]

what am I doing wrong here?

await ctx.guild.create_auto_moderation_rule(name="Words", reason="Automod", enabled=True, event_type=discord.AutoModEventType.message_send, trigger_type=discord.AutoModTriggerType.keyword_preset, trigger_metadata=discord.AutoModTriggerMetadata(presets=discord.AutoModKeywordPresetType["profanity", "sexual_content", "slurs"]), actions=[discord.AutoModAction(discord.AutoModActionType.block_message, metadata)])```

I have read the docs about this multiple times

[signal topaz]

can anyone help? i wanna know how you add choices for args in a slash command

[coarse spire]

Example: ```py
from discord import option

@client.command()
async def example(ctx, example:discord.Option(choices=["Example1", "Example2"]):
if example in ["Example1"]:
await ctx.respond("You chose example 1")
if example in ["Example2"]:
await ctx.respond("You chose example 2")```

[proud mason]

if example == "Example1"

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[proud mason]

@signal topaz see this

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.

[signal topaz]

got it

[lime lichen]

i dont understand why im getting a return of both discord.Interaction and discord.webhook.async_.WebhookMessage for the exact same line of code in two different places. the main thing im trying to do is edit the message and it just started telling me that when i run it a certain way that "interaction has no attribute 'edit'" but why is an interaction being returned from an interaction response?

[proud mason]

interaction.response.send_message doesn’t return the message object. (discord limitation)

.rtfm interaction.edit_original_response

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[proud mason]

use that to edit the msg sent

[lime lichen]

i was using ApplicationContext.respond(...)

does that change anything?

[proud mason]

you can use ctx.edit iirc

.rtfm applicationcontext.edit

[winter condor]

discord.ApplicationContext.edit

[proud mason]

yep

[lime lichen]

thanks

[patent knoll]

how do i properly make an @Option parameter
I'm too stupid to figure it out rn lol

[proud mason]

are you trying to make a slash cmd option using the @discord.option decorator?

[patent knoll]

yea

[proud mason]

see this https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_options.py

[patent knoll]

I did it exactly like this with the options=[] argument and it worked perfectly

ah weird
previously, it never worked when i did input_type=str but now it does

Yea okay but now if i do input_type=discord.Member it wont actually suggest the latest members in chat

[young bone]

Do you have intents?

[patent knoll]

if i do

...options=[
    discord.Option(discord.Member, name="name", description=description="desc"
]

it works just fine. However, if you just use the @option decorator, you cant use the positional first argument, and using input_type=discord.Member just doesnt work, even in above code

[young bone]

Do you have member intents?

[patent knoll]

why would I need them?
it works just fine if i do it like in the above codeblock

[young bone]

Oh

[patent knoll]

its just a weird case of discord.Option() working differently from the decorator version

[young bone]

option(discord.Member, )

[patent knoll]

it'd save me like 100 lines of code total when using the decorator so i want to, but i just cant get it to work

[patent knoll]

@option(discord.Member,...) doesnt work

here, 1s, ill show you

is it capital or lowercase option

if i use the lowercase option, this happens

and if i use @Option, its "not callable"

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[patent knoll]

never heard of Union, let me see

[young bone]

You dont really need it

[patent knoll]

well

let me test

its still confusing AF to have both option and Option

[cyan quail]

Not really

[patent knoll]

Currently my bigger problem is that the options dont even update

This should give a user option with the automatic userlist, and the same for the channel option, right?

[young bone]

Can you show the async def line?

[cyan quail]

I'll be honest

Decorator sucks

[young bone]

Its working fine for me

[patent knoll]

why? i wanna switch from options=[] to decorator because its cleaner imo

[cyan quail]

yeah but i swear every week it breaks

why would you use options as a list

[patent knoll]

yea it works now, idk what kind of aids discord just had to not update the command (and it still worked??? with the old args?)

[patent knoll]

?

[cyan quail]

just define it as regular function args

[patent knoll]

what

[cyan quail]

async def command(self, ctx, option1: discord.Option(...), option2: discord.Option(...):```

[patent knoll]

is this not good

[cyan quail]

i mean, you can

and if it works then fair enough

[young bone]

What is brief?

[patent knoll]

well i wanna do it the right and clean waya

[patent knoll]

help command

[cyan quail]

there is no "right" way

whatever way works

[patent knoll]

i'm still just not quite sure how what gets put into the options gets put into the actual function
is it just positional? as in, e.g. here, the user argument is the first positional argument and so on?

[young bone]

What is with the discord.commands Option one?

[cyan quail]

yes it's positional

[patent knoll]

?

[patent knoll]

So e.g.
if i had two nonrequired arguments, and only filled the latter one, it'd break (if i dont somehow handle it in the function)

[cyan quail]

well you'd still recieve the variable

it'd just be None

[patent knoll]

i see

is there a way to kwarg it or is that over the top lol

[young bone]

from discord.commands import Option

[cyan quail]

kwarg what

[patent knoll]

[cyan quail]

you can set default inside option

[patent knoll]

kwarg the options
e.g. the user option gets passed as user=x

[patent knoll]

ahh

[cyan quail]

yeah

[patent knoll]

yea its a bit annoying because the @option thing is just **kwargs so i get zero suggestions on what other options there are lolw
yes i am reading the docs too (sometimes) but im lazy

[cyan quail]

i mean the docs do tell you all possible options

[patent knoll]

i still dont quite get why the decorator is @option but if you do options=[] its Option

[cyan quail]

where are you even doing options=[]

the command decorator?

[patent knoll]

yes

[cyan quail]

yikes

[patent knoll]

that's the first way i learnt how to do it

[cyan quail]

it's because Option is an actual object, while @option is a function that adds the Option object to the command

[patent knoll]

look i just wanna make clean code that most people would say "this is the way" to

i havent changed how i am doing options just yet so i am taking suggestions :)

[signal topaz]

is it possible to add emojis in choices?

[cyan quail]

@option is fine, but i'd personally do it as typehints py async def command( self, ctx, user: discord.Option(discord.Member, "desc"), channel: discord.Option(discord.TextChannel, "channel") ):

[cyan quail]

choices can have unicode emoji yes

not in autocomplete though

[patent knoll]

that works? damn that kind of looks like some weird hacky way lmao

[signal topaz]

unicode?

[cyan quail]

as in regular emoji

not custom emotes

[signal topaz]

oh

[cyan quail]

at least for me and everyone in this channel i've recommended it to, it works

ultimately as long as you have it working as intended then it's fine

[signal topaz]

how to edit messages? like lets say user filled option in a select menu now i need to edit message

[cyan quail]

well

[patent knoll]

which message

the message the select menu was / is in?

[signal topaz]

edit that message while removing the select menu, yea something like that

[cyan quail]

in the callback, use interaction.response.edit_message

to remove it, you want view=None

[signal topaz]

thx

[patent knoll]

hm, alright, i noticed something

somehow, the "members" in the async def basically overrides the @option

there is no users option shown, only members

[cyan quail]

remove *

(not valid in slash commands)

[patent knoll]

that is legacy code
i am so scared of touching that

[cyan quail]

it doesn't do much

[patent knoll]

its one of those things that if you remove them some powerplant in china will explode for some reason

[cyan quail]

in prefix commands, it means that all input in the message is accepted

without it, each arg would be parsed by spaces

[patent knoll]

yea, i am converting a bridge bot to a slash-only bot, thats why its there

okay, i did, but unless my discord cache is deceiving me, it still does the same thing

[cyan quail]

maybe in the decorator it's name=users, input_type=str

....though you could just rename the variable

[patent knoll]

no, the problem is that it completely overrides the option

its as if the @option didnt exist, and it only constructs the option out of the async def

[cyan quail]

eh...

[patent knoll]

okay i am certainly doing something wrong, as even if i remove everything but self, ctx from the function it still wont work (now NO options show lmao)

[patent knoll]

do i even need discord.Option here?

oh yea i do mb

well i guess that is the only way then, bruhw

[cyan quail]

that's just the most reliable way that i know of

[patent knoll]

aha
new knowledge
It does work if the option and the argument inside the function definition are called the exact same

didnt expect that

well that solved that
and now final question
there isn't a way to make multiple user selections without making multiple options right

[cyan quail]

i was probably wrong about positional then LOL

yeah discord doesn't let you

you probably can in select menus tho

[patent knoll]

that really sucks, that forces us to accept members as str and then pull the mentions from it

[patent knoll]

pycord works in mysterious ways

[cyan quail]

we implemented utils.raw_mentions to convert a string of mentions into a list of IDs

so you can use that if you want

[patent knoll]

yea we do that too

[cyan quail]

nice

[patent knoll]

typehinting inside of the function definition would only make it easier for me to code, right?
like, i already define the input types in the option decorator so thats dealt with

Like inside the async def, the typehinting is basically useless, no?

i do know how to code but i really have no idea about good coding practices like that ngl

[cyan quail]

in the example it's the other way, no type inside the decorator but you typehint in def

[patent knoll]

but it does the same, no?

[young bone]

You dont need the bool and None stuff

[patent knoll]

so i can better use the empty line-space of the @ option instead of cluttering the definition

[patent knoll]

yea i was gonna change it to default=None in the decorator

Like this looks nice imo

only thing i miss out on like that are the IDE suggestions

Why do I get this when my only command with more than 1 option looks like this?

[young bone]

Why is default False?

[patent knoll]

because that is the default if the option isn't used

i know i could leave out the required=False when i use default, but that doesnt change the error i'm getting

I'm quite confused as to what causes this

or is discord made because of this somehow?

i commented everything but that command, so somehow, that is the culprit

[patent knoll]

.... and somehow setting border and server-avatar to false inside the function works, why?

[fervent cradle]

Is there any way to send a string as a voice message?

[cyan quail]

bots currently can't send voice messages (though regardless, you'd have to do the TTS conversion yourself)

[hardy hinge]

Is possible to make all the slash commands in a SlashCommandGroup have the same check at once ?

[proud mason]

Can you elaborate what you are trying to do?

[patent knoll]

Same topic here, but how exactly do I define a slashcommand group in cogs?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[patent knoll]

thats quite a bit different from the non-cogs example wow

VSC complains about the variable never being used lol

Sorry if dumb ?, but how to respond to send a modal from a UI Button interaction when reaction has already been responded to?

[proud mason]

not possible. discord limitation

[vapid pumice]

frek

okay ty doe <3

[proud mason]

if you want to send a message and a modal, send the modal as the response and message as the followup

[vapid pumice]

thanks always goat ^-^

lol np

[river summit]

if ctx.guild.fetch_ban(user):

This returns either true or false, right?

[patent knoll]

that returns the ban entry

[river summit]

so basically if it returns one then they are banned, else they are not?

[patent knoll]

it'll only enter the if if there is a ban for that user

[river summit]

alright, thanks

[patent knoll]

I'm so sorry but how, it doesnt do thing

[fervent cradle]

okay, how do i check if a forum has a specific tag?

[solemn idol]

How the hell do I mention a subcommand?

[patent knoll]

the same way you mention a normal command

[solemn idol]

Nope.

[patent knoll]

yes

[solemn idol]

I tried it

[patent knoll]

</name subcommandname:id>

[solemn idol]

I mean by like the .mention Attribute

[hardy hinge]

I want's to make a game bot, and the game run with many different command. And I want make sure these command are only available in specific channel.

[patent knoll]

i really have no idea, i manually printed every element of an existing automod rule and it's literally the exact same, i have no idea what i'm doing wrong

please tell me there is some way to not make it as hardcore painful as it is

[worn void]

in a cog file how do I use client? do I use self.bot or self? I'm trying to use client.get_user() in a command

[patent knoll]

self.bot

[solemn idol]

self.bot as you defined it in the init

should look ab something like this

[worn void]

👍 ty

[soft girder]

Whats a problem?

[signal topaz]

uh i created 2 select menus in one message, but if i select an option in any one no matter what i do and how fast i select an option in the remaining one it will say interaction failed and not fetch data based upon user selection

i have set callback for both select menus in one callback function too

[silver moat]

please create a separate post on this.

[solemn idol]

you're telling me I cannot use the normal .mention attribute of the subcommand.name object?

[patent knoll]

[silver moat]

you are taking too long ( more than 3 seconds) to respond. Try deferring at the start of your slash command.

[solemn idol]

I tried this;

for name, cog in bot.cogs.items():
                commands = cog.get_commands()
                if commands:
                    command_mentions = []
                    for c in commands:
                        if isinstance(c, SlashCommandGroup):
                            for subcommand in c.subcommands:
                                bot.get_application_command("logging setup").mention
                                command_mentions.append(bot.get_application_command(subcommand.name).mention)

And it kept telling me NoneType Object has no attribute "mention"

So this is really confusing at this point

I can mention a normal command... but not a CommandGroup using the mention attribute....

WHy???

[young bone]

because its None?

Can you print it

[patent knoll]

you arent getting the command correctly

[solemn idol]

then how am I supposed to get it? :I

[young bone]

</Zervyrel:366518394863878147>

mhm

</The Zervyrel:366518394863878147>

[solemn idol]

these are the two outputs I got of

print(subcommand.name)
# and
print(bot.get_application_command(subcommand.name))

[young bone]

do you need a name or id for it?

[solemn idol]

wait a minute...

[young bone]

its name

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.get_application_command

mhm

[solemn idol]

alright

so I tried subcommand itself because obviously subcommand returns logging setup (which is the entire command with parent and subcommand itself)

[worn void]

what's the discord.Member equivalent for a channel for input validation on a slash command?

[patent knoll]

wdym for a channel

[worn void]

like a channel

#general

a channel object

[solemn idol]

but if I try to mention it it asks me for a name attribute

[young bone]

member.channel?

[worn void]

what? no

[patent knoll]

if you want the channel use ctx.channel lol

[worn void]

no i want to take a channel as an input for a slash command

[patent knoll]

discord.TextChannel

[worn void]

thanks

[young bone]

discord.TextChannel or discord.VoiceChannel

[patent knoll]

or Union[discord.TextChannel, discord.VoiceChannel] for both i think

[silver moat]

forum channel, news channel.

[young bone]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html# You can see anything you need at the right side

[silver moat]

or for more specific, use the channel_types kwarg

[signal topaz]

i posted, can you check it?

[solemn idol]

Yeah I dont understand, if I try printing it, it works just fine but when I try mentioning it, it says no fuck you Vox, I find a NoneType only.

it makes absolutely no sense, I print the subcommand.name it works fine, I try mentioning that and it says "NoneType"

???

uhm... so apparently when I try subcommand.id

it gives me None...

wtf

[young bone]

it has to be an ID

</Command Name: Command ID>

[undone falcon]

I am trying to do a hybrid cache (some in memory and some in disk), I saw somewhere in the past that you can change how the cache store and get information, but I cant seem to find it in the doc. Do you know where that info is ?

[solemn idol]

Yes obviously; but when I do subcommand.id it gives me None

While if I do subcommand.name it just gives me the name.

[silver moat]

qualified_id iirc

[patent knoll]

anyone

[solemn idol]

The what.

[proud cargo]

should I use cogs

[silver moat]

it's your choice

[proud cargo]

I have like vanity bots which run the same code but have different pfps etc, would i be able to have only one file for each cog then each bot can import that

[cyan quail]

use subcommand.mention directly

[solemn idol]

I tried that... It returns to me a NoneType if you look further above in chat.

[cyan quail]

what version of pycord are you on

[solemn idol]

2.4.1

Latest

[cyan quail]

can you show the full code you're using to test this

[solemn idol]

Sooo this is why I am really confused

[solemn idol]

This is the part... Which I can show you at the moment (as I am not at my computer at the moment) I'll show you more later if needed.

[cyan quail]

you could just change the last line to command_mentions.append(subcommand.mention) no?

but anyway, if mention is still giving you a None then there's something significantly wrong because it would mean the command group doesn't have an ID

(or you're on something older like 2.2 but eh )

[silver moat]

where is this code? Maybe it was before on_ready?

[solemn idol]

No it's in a command which gets executed

A self generated help command actually

[solemn idol]

But I'll see if that works

[cyan quail]

(spoiler: get_application_command(subcommand.name) is a guaranteed fail because you should be using qualified_name)

[solemn idol]

The ... Why what is-

[cyan quail]

(docs)

[proud mason]

cmd.name is different from cmd.qualified_name

Same for id

[patent knoll]

:D?

[solemn idol]

Right-

[river summit]

how many cogs is too many? when will performance be effected?

[young bone]

like 10k?

[patent knoll]

apparently the code i sent just cant be made prettier, its just destined to be horrible

[livid juniper]

Should I make my cogs be on separate files??

[young bone]

you can if you want

[silver moat]

each individual cog should be in their own file by convention.

[livid juniper]

ok

[patent knoll]

you can make cogs in one file?

[patent knoll]

Does discord.TextChannel contain announcement channels?

[silver moat]

yes

[solemn idol]

[solemn idol]

this this fixed it thank you very much

[heavy bough]

how do i call a function that i defined in a cog from another file? Or should i not do that and keep just the basic commands in there?

[young bone]

you can just import it?

[solemn idol]

cogs are basically just classes so I suppose you can just class.function

[solemn idol]

"from xxx import xxx"

[young bone]

That is basic python stuff ;3

[patent knoll]

How to wait for a button press from a view i already have?

[cyan quail]

if it's defined in the cog, use bot.get_cog(name)

where name is the class name

[heavy bough]

is that better than importing it?

[cyan quail]

depends

if you import it then you've created a new instance of the cog/file

while get_cog will access the existing instance, and thus any attributes that have been set during it

[cyan quail]

view.wait

well, kind of

really you should be using callbacks

[patent knoll]

i am using callbacks, but i am unsure how to then go on with it in my main function

[cyan quail]

oh ok

hold on

[patent knoll]

idk if im explaining it right im tired lol
But basically, if i press a button, i want it to just return, and if i press another button, it should do smth

and i also have the issue that somehow having 2 @discord.ui.button decorators makes only one work

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View.wait
view.wait will wait until the specified view stops; if it timed out then it'll return True, otherwise False if it stopped some other way
