[livid wolf]

So you know how mee6 has those "profile card" things?
How do I made something like that

[silver moat]

you can use pillow to manipulate images

[livid wolf]

Alrighty

Last thing for now, but how would I kick the user

[silver moat]

.rtfm kick

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

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Member.kick

[livid wolf]

Kick the user by the user ID

[silver moat]

yeah

user: discord.Object = discord.Object(id)

await guild.kick(user)

[livid wolf]

This might help for the context.

@bot.command()
async def self_kick(ctx):
  await ctx.author.send("Why did you even kick yourself from the server?\n Well, here is the link to rejoin\n[SERVER INVITE HIDDEN FOR THIS CODE EXAMPLE]")
  await discord.Member.kick(ctx.author.id) # Might work

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-class-and-instance-variables-in-python-3
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html

There's a difference between a class and an instance. Think of it like this:

• A class is like a blueprint, or a concept. It defines what something should have, but it's not the same as actually having it.
• An instance is the 'realized' version of the class, it contains everything that the class defines should be on it, but you can actually access and interact with these features.

Let's consider the Cat. We know a Cat has a name and an age, but Cat.age won't work, because Cat isn't an actual cat, it just represents the concept of a cat. It's like asking "What is the age of a cat?" - it doesn't make sense, because we need to have an actual cat.

mimi on the other hand is an instance of a Cat - it has everything a Cat should have. Maybe mimi was constructed, like mimi = Cat("Mimi", age=4), or maybe mimi was retrieved from somewhere else, like house.cats[0], but in any case, it has everything we need, and mimi.age will rightfully give us 4.

There are many situations in Object Oriented Programming where you will need an instance instead of a class to perform an operation properly (in fact, you almost always need an instance instead of a class), and these cases will usually be documented.
You should learn a good amount about Object Oriented Programming before working extensively with Pycord.

[silver moat]

discord.Member is the class, not the object

[livid wolf]

Then what is the single line of code to kick the user by the user ID
ctx.author.id

[silver moat]

if you have the member object.

[livid wolf]

I have that

This is getting complex

[silver moat]

do you know basic object-oriented programming in python?

[livid wolf]

Yes I do

[livid wolf]

Let me reread that article

[silver moat]

so if discord.Member classes have a method called kick, and you have an object referenced in ctx.author, how do you call it?

[livid wolf]

discord.Member.kick(ctx.author)

[silver moat]

no?

kick doesn't take any arguments

[livid wolf]

So just discord.Member.kick()?

[silver moat]

no

you aren't arbitrarily kicking the class. you are kicking a specific object of that class.

[livid wolf]

I'm just trying to kick a single user form the server by the user ID

[silver moat]

and you are displaying that you do not have the fundamental understandings of python

[livid wolf]

Never mind

[silver moat]

?tag learnpython

[obtuse junco]

To be clear:

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

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

[near hollow]

I have an on_interaction and I am calling a modal, and once that modal is complete I am wanting to disable the button that triggered the on_interaction

[young bone]

Why do you use on_interaction?

[near hollow]

I was thinking it may be easier, but maybe I should just stick with classes then?

[young bone]

slash commands also would trigger it

[near hollow]

I have it ignoring slash commands atm

[proud mason]

It would be the best to stick to the classes

[meager mica]

bot.get message seems to only get messages from cache what method can i do to get any message

[coarse cargo]

channel.fetch_message

[mossy holly]

Quick question, I need to retrieve members to display their informations in a paginator.
In my callback I have this piece of code:

guild = interaction.guild
# ...
pages = []
for id in results:
  member = guild.get_member(id[0])
  
  # Mainly for the dev server, because member of the DB aren't in it (bot is used on 1 server only)
  if not member:
    member = await bot.get_or_fetch_user(id[0])
    if not member: continue    # Account deleted ?

  pages.append(await member2embed(member))

But for only 27 members it's super slow, i checked with a print and the guild.get_member() returns None so I guess it's slow because of the get_or_fetch_user().

Do you know why would the guild.get_member() return None even in the guild where everyone is (obviously the ids are correct) ?
The only member returned correctly is me

Thanks in advance 😄

[waxen skiff]

how can i make personalized choices for @discord.option()?

like the choices are per-user?

[silver moat]

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

[waxen skiff]

ty! can i do this for max_value too? or no?

[silver moat]

autocomplete is only for strings and choices

[waxen skiff]

thats ok, thank you!

[proud mason]

So are you saying that no member is found in cache?

[lyric parrot]

anyone knows why entry.target is always None when banning a member (when i use the AuditLogEntry from the audit log event)?

[strange wagon]

haven't used pycord in a while - how do i send a message in a channel without needing to trigger a command (i'm trying to send updates when a file is uploaded to a folder on box.com)

[young bone]

get the channel and send the message

[strange wagon]

does it need to be within an async function or nah

[young bone]

yes, it has to be in a async func

[strange wagon]

👍

[light river]

what's the function for when a bot is listening for user input

like how do i make a bot wait for the user to say smth and do stuff based on what they say

[strange wagon]

this doesn't seem to send anything

[young bone]

get_channel can be none

use fetch_channel

[strange wagon]

alr

still nothing

[young bone]

do you also start the func?

[strange wagon]

uhh in what way

[young bone]

with a task, event or command?

[strange wagon]

nope

[young bone]

...

[strange wagon]

that's where i'm stuck at lmao

[young bone]

That is basic python ;3

[strange wagon]

fr

idk what to trigger the function with in this case

@task.loop(seconds=10)?

wth it pinged some dude called @ta 💀

[young bone]

xd

[strange wagon]

hmm but that still does nothing

[young bone]

await newFile()

[strange wagon]

still nothing

it works when i use a slash command to trigger it but then that defeats the purpose of what i'm trying to do

xd

[strange wagon]

actually now that I think about it

would sending my message to a webhook make more sense?

actually nvm that would also require an async function

[hushed cargo]

how do i use a gif i have on my computer in an embed?
i used the code in the docs but the gif went abode the embed and not in it

file = discord.File("path/to/my/image.png", filename="image.png") embed = discord.Embed() embed.set_image(url="attachment://image.png") await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

[young bone]

the same like a image?

[hushed cargo]

i just changed the paths

[strange wagon]

upload it to catbox, fileditch or smth and use that url maybe

even discord could work

[hushed cargo]

im tryna use images in my files to make adding/removing them rly easy

[young bone]

.gif?

[hushed cargo]

yeye i used .gif

[strange wagon]

hang on could i just use @bot.command and then use a while loop to keep it alive

[young bone]

what?

[strange wagon]

so like

admin has to trigger the command and then it would start posting updates

this sounds stupid 💀

[hushed cargo]

file = discord.File("/Users/jade/Documents/DommyMommy/gifs/Slap.Slapped/gifff.gif", filename="gifff.gif") embed = discord.Embed(color=0xff0000, title="haiii", description="HIIIII") embed.set_image(url="attachment://gifff.gif") await ctx.channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

thats my actual code

[young bone]

That should work

[hushed cargo]

yea

also- this is gonna be a hard to explain problem but heres another one

so im tryna make the bot use folders on my pc as options for a select menu, but to do this i needed to get the server id, buttt where the options for the select menu are set is in a class but not in a function in that class, so it couldnt access the variable

[mossy holly]

Oh so it looks in the cache ?
Because on the doc there isn’t too much detail, but I think I’ll juste fetch when the user click the next button so it’ll be seamless

[hushed cargo]

Is there a way I can pass variables into a callback function?
SelectMenu.callback = callback(x=7)
Sum like that

[proud mason]

just start the loop before running??

[strange wagon]

i'm having a massive skill issue and still can't get it to work 💀

https://canary.discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1113161656223158323

[proud mason]

eh fetching each member is a very bad idea. the cache was made specifically to avoid that

[mossy holly]

yes but idk another way to do it if they aren't in the cache :/

[proud mason]

if no members are in the cache then it is a bigger issue

try printing len(guild.members)

[proud mason]

ah alr

[mossy holly]

there is just me and the bot on my test server (there's a total of around 8 members on this one). Do you know how the cache is updated ?

[proud mason]

cache is loaded on startup (before on_ready)

thats the default and recommended behaviour. can be turned off

[mossy holly]

hmmm weird, I'll try on a bigger serveur (around 120 members)

[proud mason]

sure

[mossy holly]

Oh maybe I did that without wanting it, how do you achieve this ?

[proud mason]

also, make sure you pass an int to get_member

you can turn it off by disabling member & guild intents. or setting chunk_guilds_at_startup to False

[mossy holly]

Oh maybe it's the intent, you need the moderate members ?

[proud mason]

hmmm not really

?tag intents

[obtuse junco]

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

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

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

[mossy holly]

I'll try this thanks

[mossy holly]

Ooook it works, thanks a lot (I didn't know we had to manage them in the code, I thought the dev portal was enough as I never had any problem)

[normal tusk]

command choices works with ext.bridge?

[proud mason]

?tag tias

[obtuse junco]

npoe it does not work

however it'll be work if the option passed as a decorator

[young bone]

commands.BadArgument

[young bone]

ok?

[hushed cargo]

im tryna make a select menu to pick roles, but im using a database to remember what select menu is supposed to do what- how do i make this persistent? can someone just point me in the right direction pls-

[full basin]

It's hard to create persistent views when the view itself is fed dynamically.

I'd create a persistent button that then fetches your database to query the roles and send the select menu.

[cyan quail]

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

[warm grotto]

try:
  await ctx.guild.create_role(
    name = role["Name"],
    permissions = role["Permissions"],
    color = role["Color"],
    hoist = role["Hoist"],
    mentionable = role["Mentionable"],
    icon = None if not r else None if not r.status_code != 200 else r.content,
    unicode_emoji = role["UnicodeEmoji"],
    reason = f"Restoration \"{backupid}\" initiated by {ctx.author}"
  )
except Exception as e:
  return await ctx.interaction.edit_original_response(embed=SetEmbed(ctx.guild,
    "Restoration Failed",
    f"{e}",
    discord.Color.red()))```So I'm trying out this code, but whenever I run it, I get the error:```Guild.create_role() got an unexpected keyword argument 'icon'```From the documentation, edit is a valid argument.

[spring hare]

Guild.create_role() don't have icon argument
As far as I know, you can't set icon for your role when you are creating a role, only by editing the role

[proud mason]

yea i think thats correct

also

?tag requests

[obtuse junco]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[spring hare]

Oh, and also...
I think you can just unpack role: **role
But you need to make your keys lower case

[cyan quail]

(icon has been added to create_role in the next version)

[proud mason]

Oh cool

[spring hare]

Does self.bot.users returns only unique users?

[gentle tundra]

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 30034): Max number of daily application command creates has been reached (200)

[gentle tundra]

is the limit by ip?

[spring hare]

Im switching from discord.py to pycord

what I need to do

[young bone]

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

I asked bing:

glitch provides a virtual CPU that is shared among all the projects on the same host machine. The CPU utilization is limited to 100% of a single core, which means that if your bot needs more CPU power, it may not get it. glitch also puts your full-stack apps to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity, which means that your bot may not be online all the time.
replit provides a virtual CPU that is allocated to your repl based on your plan. The free plan gives you 0.2 - 0.5 vCPUs, which means that you can use up to 50% of a single core. The hacker plan gives you 2 vCPUs, which means that you can use up to 200% of a single core. replit also allows you to keep your repls always on with the hacker plan, which means that your bot will be online 24/7.

[proud mason]

Yeah no neither of them are good

[hoary plover]

but for free plan glitch is good ig

[silver moat]

oracle cloud free tier is very good if you have a credit card

[proud mason]

Not for discord bots

[hoary plover]

what do you mean

Im just trying to crash my discord bot as if many users use it but no one uses it

I will make a serious one after deciding where to host

[proud mason]

Also, never pay for replit/glitch. Just get a VPS. They start at $3 a month

[young bone]

Or a Raspberry Pi

[hoary plover]

they are vps right?

[proud mason]

Not really

[silver moat]

no, they are shared hosts

[hoary plover]

oh

I tried render

but it says 'starting with python3 main.py' and then no response

[young bone]

A Raspberry pi is great for hosting bots

[proud mason]

Yeah but they are very rare rn

*VPN

[young bone]

That is right

[hoary plover]

wait it worked

it is cuz I host it on another server

[silver moat]

VPN will still be at most 2/3 of your already existing ping

[proud mason]

TOKEN is not set in your env file then

[hoary plover]

Ig so

Im too stupidlmao

I signup on github for render

and then it tell me to create a repo

[proud mason]

VPN can't fix your ping

IP packets already take the shortest route to the destination. VPN will only slow that down

[hoary plover]

oh

[proud mason]

Mhm so upload your code to a repo

Make sure it is a private repo

[silver moat]

actually VPN can make it faster only if you're country has a firewall

somehow

The firewall adds 100 ms and VPNs bypass that

[hoary plover]

it is okay to be leaked even my bot token. cuz it is only in 7 servers and it is a gpt bot that noone uses

[hoary plover]

yall are vpn nerds

[young bone]

What

[silver moat]

no, you should probably reset it

[proud mason]

Bad actors could use it for illegal purposes and your own account could get banned

[hoary plover]

oh

[proud mason]

Even IP ban, so you can't make new accounts too

Yeah not a good idea to leak your token

[hoary plover]

except if I usee multi account container and a vpn

[hoary plover]

discord doesnt lemme leak it

I accidently made a repo with token public and discord safety jim dm me

So like store it at a diff file or use an env for something like that

[hoary plover]

there are many options in render

i do that

[vestal sandal]

Wait so do I send basic pycord problems here?

So I watched many tutorials already, looked up on google, tried everything, but with no result

`@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
buttona = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, emoji="🇦")

async def button_callback(interaction):
  user_mention = interaction.user.mention
  await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user_mention} pressed button A")
  

buttona.callback = button_callback
view = View()
view.add_item(buttona)

buttonb = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji="🇧")

#--
async def button_callback(interaction):
user_mention = interaction.user.mention
await edit(content=f"{user_mention} got the answer correct. The answer was B", view=False)

buttonb.callback = button_callback
view.add_item(buttonb)

#--

buttonc = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, emoji="🇨")
async def button_callback(interaction):
  user_mention = interaction.user.mention
  await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user_mention} pressed button C")    
buttonc.callback = button_callback
view.add_item(buttonc)


buttond = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, emoji="🇩")
async def button_callback(interaction):
  user_mention = interaction.user.mention
  await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user_mention} pressed button D")   
buttond.callback = button_callback
view.add_item(buttond)


await ctx.send("Wait there is a button? ![Gmoon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1096332893334290493.webp?size=128 "Gmoon")", view=view)  `

This is my code for now

Basic message, 4 buttons: A, B, C, D

When pressing a, c or d, it sends a message tagging you, and saying you pressed that button

But I want that when button B is pressed, the message edits

button B is marked inbetween #-- #--

I've tried await interaction.response.edit_message, just like in the tutorial

Sadly this did not work, and pressing the button would only give me errors 😦

All other buttons work though

[full basin]

"Did not work" how it didn't work? What was the error?

[vestal sandal]

When I press the button

[full basin]

And you should subclass views instead of doing that.

[vestal sandal]

It says Interaction failed

[full basin]

The error in the console

[vestal sandal]

Uhh well I'm new to this 😂

[vestal sandal]

I changed the code a bit: ```Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/runner/MoonBotREAL/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/view.py", line 427, in _scheduled_task
await item.callback(interaction)

await message.edit(content=f"{user_mention} got the answer correct. The answer was B", view=self)
NameError: name 'message' is not defined

[full basin]

It's interaction.response.edit_message

And that error was pretty much self explanatory, you have no message variable defined. That's why you don't copy stuff from examples without knowing what it does.

[vestal sandal]

Wait, I'll send you the full code of that message:

async def test(ctx):
    buttona = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, emoji="🇦")

    async def button_callback(interaction):
      user_mention = interaction.user.mention
      await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user_mention} pressed button A")
      

    buttona.callback = button_callback
    view = View()
    view.add_item(buttona)
  
    buttonb = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji="🇧")
#--    
    async def button_callback(interaction):
      user_mention = interaction.user.mention
      await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f"{user_mention} got the answer correct. The answer was B", view=self)

    buttonb.callback = button_callback
    view.add_item(buttonb)
#--
  
    buttonc = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, emoji="🇨")
    async def button_callback(interaction):
      user_mention = interaction.user.mention
      await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user_mention} pressed button C")    
    buttonc.callback = button_callback
    view.add_item(buttonc)

  
    buttond = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, emoji="🇩")
    async def button_callback(interaction):
      user_mention = interaction.user.mention
      await interaction.response.send_message(f"{user_mention} pressed button D")   
    buttond.callback = button_callback
    view.add_item(buttond)

  
    await ctx.send("Wait there is a button? ![Gmoon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1096332893334290493.webp?size=128 "Gmoon")", view=view)   

[full basin]

Ok

Run that code

[vestal sandal]

I did!

'This interaction failed'

[grizzled sentinel]

It should be ctx.respond not ctx.send

Send is for sending a normal message not responding to an interaction

[vestal sandal]

this makes the command not working 😦

[young bone]

what is the py-cord version?

[proud mason]

you should definitely subclass view

that is a very neat and simple approach

see this

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

[arctic jolt]

@bot.event
async def on_error(event_method, *args, **kwargs):
    print("on_error")


@bot.event
async def on_application_command_error(interaction: discord.Interaction, err: Exception) -> None:
    print("on_application_command_error")

neither of these are firing when an error is raised from a button click, what do?

[silver moat]

views have an on_error callback function thingy

[arctic jolt]

I'm looking for a way to catch all errors in the bot

else I need to make a custom view class and subclass all of them since there are quite a few

[young bone]

ctx: discord.ApplicationContext @arctic jolt

[arctic jolt]

yeah typehints are probably wrong, I copied the code from a nextcord project

but it's still not firing regardless

[young bone]

Well, that one is for slash commands

[arctic jolt]

this is really easy to achieve in other libraries, is there no way of doing it here?

[young bone]

You could use on_interaction but that also would get trigger by slash_commands

Or you use try and except

[proud mason]

show pip list

high chance you have dpy still installed

lol no

open the terminal

and type pip list

windows or unix?

ah

do os.system('pip freeze')

dont do it on ready, as that would not run

error is before the bot starts

you can run that line i said at the top of your code

[young bone]

discord.py and older py-cord Version

Also which topggpy is that?

Github or pip one?

Well first uninstall discord.py and py-cord and reinstall only py-cord

[proud mason]

topggpy installs dpy from what i remember

[young bone]

You have to use the github one if Im right

[proud mason]

you could use os.system for that too 😂
definitely not the best way, but it works

[young bone]

^

[proud mason]

you might find startup cmd or smth in the settings tab of the panel. try fiddling with it

[zinc cloak]

is there a way to read and edit embed attributes from a message

[full basin]

embed.attribute = newattr?

[zinc cloak]

I'm getting discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10015): Unknown Webhook with the following code inside a button:

        async def callback(self, interaction):
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="testing..."
            )
            await interaction.edit_original_response(embed=embed)
            await interaction.response.send_message("Upvoted.", ephemeral=True, )

Ohhh wait I see the issue... the edit_original_response thing is for the message sent

but how do I get the original message that the button is on?

[fossil mulch]

pycord docs hella slow today or is it a problem on my end?

[sly comet]

How can I edit an interaction message/response and then reply to said message? I keep getting the InteractionResponded error

[novel jay]

Is there a way to check how much memory each shard is using when using AutoShardedBot? Or even just the pid?

[hoary plover]

render is broken.

it runs my same bot token 2 times

@proud mason

you recoment render

it is broken as hell

[young bone]

Where?

[hoary plover]

..

[hoary plover]

@young bone

also render only provides 0.1v cpu or whatever it is

repl provides 0.5v

[hoary plover]

and glitch provides 1.0v cpu

[zinc cloak]

Is there a way to get a message without the channel by message id

[zinc cloak]

If it's a slash command:

await ctx.respond("Hi!", ephemeral=True)

Note that you can only respond once. If you want to send another message in the same channel:

await ctx.channel.send("wowiee")```

[proud mason]

I recommended vps... Render was the last choice

[hoary plover]

any other

than render

[proud mason]

Try railway.app

[hoary plover]

Ask in their discord server

Not a py-cord issue

[hazy mango]

i have a quick question. Is it possible to retrieve a user using their username instead of id directly or do i just have to get all members on a guild and loop over to get a user with matching name? i read the docs but could not find anything that would directly solve this

[hoary plover]

bro

I saw there is support bout hosting in this server in the website

[hoary plover]

Hello

Im the new om non nom so give me respect the om nom noj has

oh wait he dont have any

[proud mason]

no? where does it say that?

[proud mason]

1. dont call me using she

2. why tf are you trying to be toxic

[hoary plover]

bro I was kidding

[hoary plover]

I moved to pycord for a reason

it is fast af

bro

I used !help in carl bot

[young bone]

v3 will be even faster

[hoary plover]

and guess what?

it respond in 0.1 s

[hoary plover]

wdym

pip3 install py-cord install latest right?

[young bone]

So.. pycord is currently a fork of discord.py

[hoary plover]

yeah ik but it is faster than discord.py

[young bone]

but faster and with a clean code

[hoary plover]

I checked timedif using apollo and appolo showed 0.1s

and carl bot is of pycord

[hoary plover]

rip me

[young bone]

Well, v3 will be not a fork anymore of discord.py

[hoary plover]

even kick command take so many code

imagine making a fully working moderation bot

kick command first checks permission then role then error handle

etc etc

[hoary plover]

wow

how can I instlall it

[young bone]

They are working on it

[hoary plover]

it works the same as discord.py right?

[hoary plover]

ohk

[young bone]

eh

[hoary plover]

when I had discord.py , I import from discord import app_commands

[young bone]

if you want to use it at some point you would have to rewrite the bots

[hoary plover]

but turns out it didnt actually support app commands

[hoary plover]

then I wont update 😂

[hoary plover]

rip carl bot

bye

[mossy holly]

You mean username + discriminator (like Username#1234 ?)
If yes idk, but if you mean just with the username, even if there was a method that do it, it would have to loop over all the guild members to find the first matching username, so you can implement your own I think

[full basin]

There's a commands.MemberConverter

Tries to parse a user if you provide username or username and discrim

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

[proud mason]

.rtfm get_member

one sec

[full basin]

Get_member only takes an ID tho?

[proud mason]

you can use get_member_named

Is it possible to get a channel ID a command is sent in? For example if I had /getchannel I would want it to reply with the ID of the channel I did that command in?

Ctx.channel.id?

[dusk pecan]

We're gonna pretend like I didn't already do that, but forgot to actually setup a response so when I ran the command nothing came up so I thought that wasn't it. I should generally just read, might help.

[meager mica]

So I store usernames and descriminator in database is there a way I can migrate from that to new usernames like convert username and descriminator to username through oycord lib

If that makes sense

[silver moat]

why do you store them to begin with

[normal tusk]

yo imagin you have account db with every single possible username

panic

[dense gorge]

Alright, here we are.

I know how to query whether a message was sent from within a specific channel, but I understand that applying a listener for every message my bot receives (and then filtering via a MySQL lookup) is...impractical.

I want to spawn a listener function for on_message for threads, as determined at runtime.

Such a thing even possible?

That is to say, I'll have a list of threads that I want to be notified of every message sent within them.

I'm open to hacky solutions so long as they're optimized. Perhaps I could start listening with a /slash command, and for as long as that interaction token remains open (15 mins), the bot listens?

Oh, how about something recursive? Maybe a task that listens for a message and calls itself when it hears it.

[normal tusk]

@dense gorge what exactly the thing that you looking for or what you wanna achieve

[dense gorge]

I have a list of threads that will be extended and shortened throughout the use of my bot.

I want to listen for any messages sent from within these threads-- I don't want to listen for messages sent anywhere else.

I could just have an on_message() listener and then get the message details to determine if that message was sent from within a thread that I care about listening to.

But if it's triggering for every single message that my bot receives, then it'll be doing an incredible amount of calls for that function that checks whether it's from one of those important threads.

Way too taxing on my database.

[normal tusk]

look, the idea that is everything begin sent your bot will receive via the gateway, then if you want to get that specific data from the gateway calls you cann add an filters to that event so you can use the event specifically for a custom channel

[dense gorge]

Yeah, I'm with you.

[dense gorge]

Hence this.

[dense gorge]

Not a good solution for this reason.

[dense gorge]

Since the "filter" function is slow.

What I need is a selective listener.

[normal tusk]

you can cache the channels ids then use the cached channel to filter the calls

[dense gorge]

That requires the cache remain in memory, which isn't a guarantee.

I want my bot resistant to resets.

(I expect I'll be restarting it quite a bit while I improve it).

My current solution is to log it into a MySQL database.

[normal tusk]

no i mean you can set a listener for the database then load the channel data from the db, the listener function will detect if the database has beed edit, if so it will reload the channel data

[normal tusk]

if the bot in a great amount of guild so making a SQL calls like this will make the bot slow as hell

[silent meadow]

how do I identify if a slash command is used as a reply to a message? and how do I fetch the details about that message... such as the author of the message or the message content?

[dense gorge]

It'll be ctx.message.reference.

[silent meadow]

but how do I check for it?

like is it an event?

or is it an if, else statement?

[dense gorge]

1 sec.

In the slash command, you're given a ctx: discord.ApplicationContext as an argument.

All you need to do is something like this:

[silent meadow]

[normal tusk]

ye..

awaited

[silent meadow]

so like

@discord.slash_command(name = "", description = "")
async def command(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
  content = ctx.message.reference.content

[normal tusk]

.tias

[winter condor]

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

[normal tusk]

:)

[silent meadow]

very funny

its like my code is working and i dont wanna touch it

[dense gorge]

    name = "example-command",
    description = "shows you how to check for whether this command was used as a reply")
async def example(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):

  wasReply = ctx.message.reference

  return```

[normal tusk]

exactly :)

[silent meadow]

so i am asking david b4 hand if it would mess things up

[silent meadow]

ooo yea gotcha, thanks

[dense gorge]

If there was a message that this Slash command is replying to, it'll return that message content into wasReply. Otherwise, it'll be None.

[silent meadow]

reply = ctx.message.reference.context or just message.reference

[dense gorge]

Just reference. I believe. Haven't texted.

[silent meadow]

hmmm

okay

[normal tusk]

[dense gorge]

So, you might be onto something, but I'm not sure that I understand. So you're suggesting a listener function for the database that determines if there's a change-- what, like a 10 second loop that compares the stored database thread IDs with maybe a SHA checksum?

Or I guess, I could just check the db file itself for the last modified time metadata.

[normal tusk]

this idea came up in my mind so it can be upgraded, also i was using with JSON before i switch to Postgre

[dense gorge]

So then if/when it notices a change, loads those new channels and only those new channels into a list variable?

[normal tusk]

yup this can be and ideal

[dense gorge]

And then that is my efficient filter to apply to on_message?

[normal tusk]

so not exactly but my ideas are drowning underwater

[silent meadow]

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

i think something is missing

ctx.message gives None

[normal tusk]

slash commands are not an messages

[dense gorge]

Well, that blows.

[silent meadow]

i forgot

[normal tusk]

[silent meadow]

LMFAO

nvm nvm

Hm. If the "replied to" attribute (reference) is only visible to messages, and messages are None if it's a slash command, then... hmm...

alr

[dense gorge]

Haha wow.

Okay. So.

Turns out there's no easy way to do what you want to, but uh, there is a way. Reeally gross, though.

[silent meadow]

😔

[dense gorge]

1. Get the channel that the command was invoked in using ctx.channel.
2. Get the message history of that channel (requires the read_message_history permission as well as the proper Intent in your code and the correct scope in your Developer Portal app).
3. Scan through those messages until you find the one with a reply to it.

Which, wait. Is there even a way to tell if a message has been replied to, based only on the message that's being replied to?

Or is that information only attached to the message that's actually doing the reply?

Hm.

Let me keep looking.

[dense gorge]

Nope, impossible. When you have a message pulled up to Reply to, slash commands bypass that. Slash commands can't be used as a reply.

So even if you could get the messages that refer to a message, it wouldn't show the slash command.

However, a bot itself can reply to another message.

Here's an idea:

1. Some slash command that looks like /bot facepalm @you (mentioning someone within a slash command doesn't ping them. It also doesn't even notify them at all if the command is ephemeral).
2. The bot then responds to your command by finding the latest message sent by @you and reacts to it with the facepalm option.

[silent meadow]

i am using normal commands @dense gorge its oke

[dense gorge]

(Nearly done writing it anyhow)

[normal tusk]

larking :)

👀

[silent meadow]

look at this

i replied to their mssage and amari came up with the proile of ctx.message.author of the replied message

[dense gorge]

Dang. It works.

[normal tusk]

how about slash commands

[dense gorge]

I just typed like ten minutes for no reason LOL

So it would look something like...

  name = 'reply',
  description = 'reply to a user.')
async def replyToUser(
  self, 
  ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
  replyTo: discord.Option(
    discord.Member,
    name = 'user',
    description = 'Who to reply to?',
    required = True
    )):
  responseContent = f'Could not find a message from {replyTo} in the last 10 messages in {ctx.channel.name}!'
  channel = ctx.channel
  async for message in channel.history(limit = 10, oldest_first = False):
    if message.author == replyTo:
      ctx.send(text = 'Replied.', reference = message)
      responseContent = f'Reponded to {replyTo}!'
      continue
  ctx.respond(text = responseContent, ephemeral = True)
  return```

[normal tusk]

i hate those errors tbh

but i dont want that sir

[silent meadow]

just this

[dense gorge]

What it would look like is /bot rank @ThatStupidDuck and you'd get the result you're looking for with slash commands.

[silent meadow]

no

[dense gorge]

?

[silent meadow]

wait lemme tell you what i am working on

@commands.Command()
    async def mock(self, ctx: discord.MessageReference):
        test_str = ctx.message.reference.content
        res = ""
        for idx in range(len(test_str)):
            if not idx % 2:
                res = res + test_str[idx].upper()
            else:
                res = res + test_str[idx].lower()
        await ctx.respond(res)

see

for example

[silent meadow]

.mock

and the bot will mock the text

and send

FoR eXaMpLe

[dense gorge]

Are you going to be replying to messages as soon as the person sends them?

[silent meadow]

no.

i dont want a slash command at all

😭 what has gotten you

[dense gorge]

But you said that you wanted to use slash commands to reply?

What??

[silent meadow]

since i found out slash commands arent messages

i changed my mind

[dense gorge]

Did you now.

I thought that switching over to message based commands was a compromise.

I see.

[proud mason]

I don't want to read the whole chat, but why not use message context menu commands

[dense gorge]

What's that?

[proud mason]

Like this

That gives you ctx.message

[dense gorge]

Holy shit!

I didn't know that existed.

[proud mason]

Lol

[dense gorge]

What's that called?

[proud mason]

context menu commands

You can have cmds for users or messages

[dense gorge]

Literal sparkles in my eyes.

This opens the door to so much.

[proud mason]

Mhm

[dense gorge]

Thanks.

[proud mason]

And if you want to get some input too, send a modal to it

[dense gorge]

How far we've come since !help...

[silent meadow]

i am not that literate

plus just like david

many people dont know thye exist

so it would be of no use

[proud mason]

There are people who don't know slash cmds too...

[warm grotto]

Guild.create_role() got an unexpected keyword argument 'unicode_emoji'

I'm checking the documentation, and it is a parameter that you can pass
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Guild.create_role

[silent meadow]

om bhai thats why

[silent meadow]

its for role emojis

[warm grotto]

Right

[silent meadow]

i think you can just put none to it

[warm grotto]

But, I would like to restore unicode_emojis like 💸 for example

[proud mason]

Is it there in the docs for the stable version too?

[warm grotto]

I'm using 2.2.2

[proud mason]

Yeah update to 2.4.1

[dense gorge]

What it's looking for is a string like U+1F600.

(Which is 😀 btw).

[warm grotto]

I just updated it, I'm still getting the same error

[warm grotto]

I did pass None as an argument, but I got the same error

[dense gorge]

Try passing unicode_emoji = 'U+1F600'.

And is ROLE_ICONS in guild.features?

[warm grotto]

I know that when you pass icon as a parameter in a server that does not have ROLE_ICON in guild.features, it would not actually show until it has been activated, which is what I want and does not throw any errors. Would the icon parameter act the same as unicode_emoji?

[dense gorge]

Since they both are tied to the same feature, I would assume so, but I've never worked on a bot in a boosted server before.

[warm grotto]

Looks like Nelo recently added unicode_emoji, but has not made it possible yet to have it act as icon. I might add that as a suggestion

[dense gorge]

Ope lol.

There you have it.

[warm grotto]

Yeah, updating it to the latest version instead of the stable version worked

[wanton drift]

How do you add another input for slash command?

[proud mason]

Add another Option parameter to the Slash cmd function

[wanton drift]

thanks

[empty crypt]

hi

[empty crypt]

bro I dont wanna look at odocs and wall of texts again. pls help me by saying what change I need to make

[dense gorge]

It would look something like this:

        name = 'example',
        description = 'does the thing you want')
async def exampleCommand(
  self,
  ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
  optionVar: discord.Option(
      str, #or int or member or whatever
      'User prompt explaining the option?',
      required = True)):
  ctx.respond(text = f'You just said {optionVar}.')
  return

Hey, question.

discord.ui.role_select() == fucked??

[empty crypt]

thanks

[dense gorge]

Does anyone know how that works? It's throwing weird errors. I built a helper function that returns a view with a role_select component on it and it's saying this:
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: expected Item not <class 'function'>

I suspect only string_select works.

[proud mason]

You didn't call the function?

[dense gorge]

Nope.

discord.ui.role_select() yields a bizarre 404 error when sending the component, and discord.ui.select(select_type = discord.ComponentType.role_select) yields the weird function error.

Here's the code:

[proud mason]

that is the decorator

Not the class

[dense gorge]

Oh. My bad.

Well, point stands for the first one.

[proud mason]

Use discord.ui.Select

Send full error and your code

[dense gorge]

I really fell for it.

I really thought it was a shortcut like it says.

Nope, you gotta specify the old fashioned way with discord.ui.Select(select_type = discord.ComponentType.role_select).

I guess.

But yes, that works now.

[wanton drift]

how do i make one of the choices a var?
would you just do it like
discord.app_commands.Choice(name={variable name}, value=1)

[dense gorge]

The choice is, by nature, a variable.

[dense gorge]

It would look something like this:

        name = 'example',
        description = 'does the thing you want')
async def exampleCommand(
  self,
  ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
  optionVar: discord.Option( ##The variable name of the choice here is optionVar
    str,
    name='detail',
    description='How in-depth should it be?',
    required=False,
    choices=[
      'simple',
      'complete',
      'comprehensive'
      ],
    default='simple'
    )):
  ctx.respond(text = f'You just said {optionVar}.')
  return

[dense gorge]

It looks like you want an integer, so you'd specify 'int' instead of 'str', and you might omit the 'choices' argument of the option so that they can enter in any integer they want.

[proud mason]

Well it is a shortcut, but only for the decorator way

[dense gorge]

Oh, I see. So it's me. I'm the weak link.

Aha.

That is good info to know.

[wanton drift]

and how do i add another one of these

[dense gorge]

Same deal.

[wanton drift]

just create new one?

[dense gorge]

        name = 'example',
        description = 'does the thing you want')
async def exampleCommand(
  self,
  ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
  optionVar: discord.Option( #First option here
    str,
    name='detail',
    description='How in-depth should it be?',
    required=False,
    choices=[
      'simple',
      'complete',
      'comprehensive'
      ],
    default='simple'
    ),
otherOptionVar: discord.Option( #Second one
    str,
    name='Other',
    description='Mhm',
    required=True'
    ),):
  ctx.respond(text = f'You just said {optionVar} and {otherOptionVar}.')
  return```

[wanton drift]

ok

[dense gorge]

Hold on.

[wanton drift]

and how can i make it so you can choose more then one option

[dense gorge]

See my edit.

Python Version: 3.9.16

pip is also newly installed

uhh how do I fix this 💀

[somber pelican]

try pip3 install

[gray juniper]

no module named pip3

[somber pelican]

python3 -m pip3

[gray juniper]

I tried it

same error

[proud mason]

Is it added to path?

[gray juniper]

I installed py-cord from dev branch

[somber pelican]

hm

[gray juniper]

it looks like its installed

look at the highlighted part

[somber pelican]

pip install --upgrade pip?

[gray juniper]

let me try

[somber pelican]

actually nvm

python3 but no pip3 hm

[gray juniper]

oh it had pip 9.0.01

[proud mason]

Try python3.9 -m pip ...

[gray juniper]

it installed pip 20.3

how do I uninstall python2

[somber pelican]

it's python 3.6

[proud mason]

Oh

3.8 is needed

[somber pelican]

ahh

[proud mason]

Install the latest python 3.11 @gray juniper

Wait dont

[proud mason]

python3 points to 3.6
But python3.9 points to 3.9

So just use 3.9

[proud mason]

This will work

[gray juniper]

Hmm

so should I uninstall python2 and python 3.16

3.6*

I uninsatlled py2 and py3

and installed pip latest and py 3.9

that should work right?

[young bone]

I would go for 3.11

[gray juniper]

@young bone I installed python 3.11 and uninstalled everything

but how should I install pip now

bcz if I use apt-get install python3-pip it also installed python 36

3.6

[young bone]

How did you install it?

[gray juniper]

python 3.11?

sudo apt install python3.11 and before that I installed PPA

[somber pelican]

@gray juniper what if you just do pip install py-cord without the requirement?

[grizzled sentinel]

I literally linked the docs. All you had to do was click the link and look at the order of arguments. We are not going to spoon feed you. You need to learn how to do some things on your own.

[gray juniper]

it worked

[somber pelican]

Congratulations

Which version did it install?

[meager mica]

For cross server leaderboard

I didn't wanna fetch thousands of usernames every time someone used leaderboard command

[grizzled sentinel]

Well not really. People could choose completely different usernames. How your system works now is kinda bad. What is someone changed there user name now? You should only ever use user ID when trying to store a user.

[meager mica]

Is there any way to convert username and descriminator the id

[spring hare]

Find user by username?

[grizzled sentinel]

Yeah you would have to loop through. Also you need to set up error handling for users it can't find. There will certainly be some.

[meager mica]

Do I need server members intent for that

[grizzled sentinel]

Most likely.

[hushed cargo]

is there a way to assign a select menu option an id?

[proud mason]

.rtfm get_member_named

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Guild.get_member_named

[proud mason]

@meager mica you could use this

[proud mason]

Well there is a way 🤷‍♂️

[proud mason]

.rtfm SelectOption

[winter condor]

8 results

discord.SelectOption
discord.SelectOption.default
discord.SelectOption.description
discord.SelectOption.emoji
discord.SelectOption.from_dict
discord.SelectOption.label
discord.SelectOption.to_dict
discord.SelectOption.value

[proud mason]

Use that in the list of choices

Set a value

[hushed cargo]

value is annoying- but oki

[proud mason]

Not sure but the value needs to be a string. Convert it to an int

[hushed cargo]

and is there a way to make persistent view without subclassing the view?

[hushed cargo]

how to i use .add_item with a subclassed view?

SelectRoleView().add_item(SelectMenu) await ctx.channel.send(view=SelectRoleView()) ServerId = ctx.guild.id embed = discord.Embed( title="**Role Select Menu Created!**", description="**^-^**", color=GetColor(ServerId) ) await ctx.respond(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
thats the code
and heres the code for the view
class SelectRoleView(View): def __init__(self): super().__init__(timeout=None)

im trying to add the select menu to it ant it gave this error message
"discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message"

the add_item just isnt working

you could use the discord integration thing in server settings to only be able to use it in one channel

could do

if ctx.channel.id != id:
return

np!

[odd prairie]

Your view is empty, so no content is sent. You need to add UI components to your view first

[hushed cargo]

i did

i think the problem was the way i used add_item with a subclassed view

[odd prairie]

Oh, I did not see the SelectMenu thing.

[odd prairie]

Did you fix the issue by yourself?

[hushed cargo]

nu

idk how, i think for some reason add_item isnt working with the subclassed view

wdym?

[odd prairie]

^^

[hushed cargo]

i think if you set the argument to only accept one argument

[odd prairie]

Your argument must be *values (will get everything that's after your command) then to make that into one sentence you can do sentence = " ".join(values)

[hushed cargo]

yea was abt to say

[odd prairie]

np

[hushed cargo]

add spaces where?

im sorry i dont get what you mean

[spring hare]

"\n" but I think this is just fields

Check guide

https://guide.pycord.dev/

oh, bruh

Not this spaces

Bruh

[proud mason]

lmao

[hushed cargo]

Is there a way to use .add_field with a subclassed view? I'm tryna make it persistent

[proud mason]

persistent views and embeds arent related tho

[hushed cargo]

You can add_feild to a view-

Adding a field to a view is kinda related to persistent views

[proud mason]

add_field to a view?

[hushed cargo]

Ye

[proud mason]

.rtfm view.add_field

[winter condor]

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

[proud mason]

uh

[hushed cargo]

To add a button orselect menu

[proud mason]

oh you mean add_item

[hushed cargo]

Omg- I'm dumb thank you 😭

[proud mason]

lol so your issue is solved?

[hushed cargo]

Nono

Im using add_item

But when I try to use it with a subclassed view it doesn't add it

[proud mason]

ah

how are you using it?

can you show the code?

[hushed cargo]

Can't show rn but I'll explain

The view is its own class that all that's in it is the init function, then in the function for the command I do view().add_item(Select Menu)

When I did the same thing when view = View() and no problems

I just wanna do it like this bc using variables from one class in another is so annoying

And itneeds to be persistent but the select menu uses paramaters you set with 5he command

[sleek arch]

How can I make a persistent View in a cog? When I try, I get the error:

discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.tickets' raised an error: RuntimeError: no running event loop

[young bone]

doesnt really matter if its in a cog or not?

[sleek arch]

How do I register it as persistent? Not in a cog I could put in on ready client.add_view(view())

[young bone]

But you know basic Python?

[proud mason]

You can do the same in cogs

Use an event listener

[sleek arch]

oh yeh of course my bad

[livid wolf]

How would you mark an embed/embed image as a spoiler?

[coarse cargo]

I doubt this is possible

[young bone]

It is possible

[coarse cargo]

Make the image of an embed a spoiler?

[livid wolf]

Yeah

[normal tusk]

any idea to subclass the discord.SlashCommandGroup object?

[full basin]

why would you sublcass it

[normal tusk]

want to make a folder for the sub groups childs

and use the common parents between them in each file

[normal tusk]

@cyan quail there is a way to that

[cyan quail]

see #creations message

heres my code its not letting working because subclassing View makes it hard to get the commands paramaters, how do i get them?

[hushed cargo]

im trying to make a persistent select menu, that you create with a command, how to i make it work? because the options are determined by paramaters in the command the persistence isnt working

please someone point me in the right direction

[meager mica]

When I do that I usually try to store what I need in database

Is their another way probably but I couldn't find it for my use cases lol

[hushed cargo]

lmao exactlyyy, thats my problemmm XD

any chance you could dm me so i could ask you some stuff?

[meager mica]

I just worked around it with database

[hushed cargo]

yea im tryna do that but adding a persistent view makes it weird

[hushed cargo]

please be more specific

wut happens when you do it?

error?

try running your command and giving it this
1+1

wuts that mean

oki what is os.environ["BOT_OWNER"]?

try copying your id and put that in the code

i believe ids and int

oki

make surein the env

its an integer and not a string

that works too

[rare ice]

You have to

[hushed cargo]

ahhh

cogs

[rare ice]

You have to restart the bot

[hushed cargo]

no- i use cogs and i can

[rare ice]

Not with slash commands

[hushed cargo]

i use slash commands and cogs work?

[rare ice]

I wouldn’t recommend doing that but you could. If you have tasks with discord.ext.tasks you will run into problems.

[rare ice]

I’m saying reloading cogs with slash commands causes problems

[hushed cargo]

oh? how so?

[rare ice]

Slash commands won’t get re-registered

Meaning they won’t update

[hushed cargo]

im so confused- ive been doing this for ages with mo problems

no*

[rare ice]

Are you going to seriously argue with me?

[hushed cargo]

im genuinely confused, bc ive literally been doing it and its been working fine

[rare ice]

Under certain circumstances, it causes problems

[hushed cargo]

plus they dont use slash commands so they so could use cogs-

[rare ice]

I wasn’t referring to them, you asked me the question

[hushed cargo]

oki- well idk wut these curcumstances are but ive used cogs for slash cmmands and have tested out reseting them a bunch and have found no problems then you respond like this to me asking a question- like bruh, wasnt arguing, i never heard it could cause problems

[versed fern]

Reading challenge lmao

The error tells you exactly what to do

What error does it return

You just added a random loop to your file

It seems like you wanna load all cogs at start-up

But you'd need an on ready event for that

One sec, trying to figure out how the bot commands work

.rtfm on_ready

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.on_ready

[versed fern]

If you don't know what an event is, you'll have to read the docs

[versed fern]

They're pretty intuitive

There's a get started guide somewhere as well as an FAQ

After that you'll just search for an event or whatever and find specific Information on what you wanna archive

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/

[spring hare]

Do you know any templates for discord bots? (with pycord)

Not fully built bots, just templates

[spring hare]

Send your code

As I understand it, you have a text command that takes arguments, but when you call the command, you do not pass the argument, and therefore this error appears

For example: !load

You either need to add on_error or make arguments not required

And I also think your on_ready just don't work

Add @bot.event

? Return your async def on_ready():

And just add decorator

[spring hare]

.

[spring hare]

TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression Your tried to await None

Oh... Sorry

Uhm

Oh, not that

await setup(self)

I'm confused 💀
I think there are some problems in await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

[coarse spire]

you can't use "await" in load_extension

just remove the await

[spring hare]

1. add @is_owner instead of if ctx.author.id == int(os.environ["BOT_OWNER"]) and add owners to your commands.Bot
2. I think your tried to load or unload cog that just don't exist

@coarse spire

[coarse spire]

hmm

[ocean pumice]

Hey, what should I write in a webhook in order to get this little grey box with the time left in a message?

Thanks

[young bone]

You dont use await at that

@fervent cradle
Dont load the cogs at the on_ready event

If you get the await error you have something else installed and py-cord

Can you show the pip list?

Do you know basic python?

[full basin]

Then it's the same thing lol. Just replace install with list

[young bone]

discord, discord.py, pycord and py-cord

Uninstall all 4

After that install only py-cord

not pycord

[coarse cargo]

He completed the collection lol

[young bone]

No

[hushed cargo]

is there a way i can use @bot.event to run something whenever any select menu is used?

anything like async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):

[normal tusk]

but for views..

smth like djs handlers

[hushed cargo]

bc if i could do that then i wouldnt need a database to have a select menu persistent

[normal tusk]

why you would use a db for the persistent?

[hushed cargo]

bc the way im creating select menus is with a command, that paramaters decude whats in the select manu, so i cant rly just add the view when the bot starts

[normal tusk]

uha

You have to create a view class to have it persistent?

[normal tusk]

^ this may help :)

[young bone]

on_interaction also triggers slash commands

[normal tusk]

on the event function he can filter out that

[hushed cargo]

im tryna make a command to add a select menu for roles

so the contence of the select menu depends of the paramaters of the command

[normal tusk]

the slash command can use discord.Role as a parameter for its arg

this may fix all that pain

[hushed cargo]

ive triied to make it persistent by subclassing view but it no work

[hushed cargo]

that has nun to do with it-

can i dm you to explain it better without slowmode?
