[proud mason]

how do you initialise the lavalink stuff?

[signal sandal]

one sec

        await self.client.wait_until_ready()
        lavaclient = lavalink.Client(user_id=self.client.user.id, player=CustomPlayer)
        lavaclient.add_node(host='127.0.0.1', port=2333, password='gmkwob', region='us')
        lavaclient.add_event_hooks(self)
        self.client.lavalink = lavaclient

[proud mason]

ic

all the lavalink related commands stay in a single cog right?

so you could make a self variable in the cog init

smth like self.lava_ready = asyncio.Event()

[signal sandal]

yeah

[proud mason]

in your connect nodes method, do self.lava_ready.set() at the end

and in your cmds, add await self.lava_ready.wait() at the top instead of wait_until_ready

or you could use self.lava_ready.is_set() to return errors n stuff

[signal sandal]

well, i got the error to throw

thats nice

[proud mason]

oh cool

[signal sandal]

i had copied the error and footer stuff from a diffrent cog and stuff so it had bot, and i was tired yester day and i didnt catch it lmfao

[signal sandal]

also where would i add that?

[proud mason]

in your commands

like here

[signal sandal]

well ive only got one

cool

[proud mason]

oh lol

[signal sandal]

@slash_command(description="Play some music (use again with no music selected to access menu). ")
    async def music(self, ctx, search: Option(str, description="Music query or URL", required=False, default=None)):

       await self.lava_ready.wait():
            embed = discord.Embed(color=0xBEFFE1)
            embed.set_author(name="Error!")
            embed.add_field(name="Spacey Boi",
                            value=" is starting up now, please try again in a few minutes")
            embed.add_field(name="Support Server", value="If you need help, feel free to join my support server over at [support.spaceyboi.com](https://support.spaceyboi.com)")
            embed.set_footer(text="Spacey Boi! • https://spaceyboi.com", icon_url=self.client.user.display_avatar.url)
            await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

        else:
            try:
                channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
            except AttributeError:
                return await ctx.respond(f"You need to be in a voice channel", ephemeral=True)
            player = self.client.lavalink.player_manager.create(ctx.guild.id)
            try:
``` this?

[proud mason]

looks good

dont forget to set the event in the connect nodes method

[signal sandal]

my current setup without the asyncio event seems to work okay

should i still make the change?

 async def music(self, ctx, search: Option(str, description="Music query or URL", required=False, default=None)):

        if not self.client.is_ready():
            embed = discord.Embed(color=0xBEFFE1)
            embed.set_author(name="Error!")
            embed.add_field(name="Initializing",
                            value="Spacey Boi! is still starting up, please try again in a few minutes")
            embed.add_field(name="Support Server",
                            value="If you need help, feel free to join my support server over at [support.spaceyboi.com](https://support.spaceyboi.com)")
            embed.set_footer(text="Spacey Boi! • https://spaceyboi.com", icon_url=self.client.user.display_avatar.url)
            await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

        else:
            try:

running this +

    @lavalink.listener(lavalink.events.QueueEndEvent)
    async def event_queue_end(self, event: lavalink.QueueEndEvent):
        guild_id = event.player.guild_id
        guild = self.client.get_guild(guild_id)
        await guild.voice_client.disconnect(force=True)

[proud mason]

Uh there is a small gap between wait until ready, and the node connection completing yk

[signal sandal]

ic

[proud mason]

It should be fine tbh

Depends on you

[signal sandal]

hope so

we wil find out

the gap is maybe 1 to 2 seconds

[proud mason]

Mhm

[signal sandal]

doubt any errors will be uncaught

any how, thanks for ur help

i asuume i will be back

im sure there is a far better way to do this but , ```
if not self.client.is_ready():
if uc < 100000:
embed = discord.Embed(color=0xBEFFE1)
embed.set_author(name="Error!")
embed.add_field(name="Initializing",
value="Spacey Boi! is still starting up, please try again in about 30 minutes")
embed.add_field(name="Support Server",
value="If you need help, feel free to join my support server over at support.spaceyboi.com")
embed.set_footer(text="Spacey Boi! • https://spaceyboi.com", icon_url=self.client.user.display_avatar.url)
await ctx.respond(embed=embed)
if 100100 < uc > 200000:
embed = discord.Embed(color=0xBEFFE1)
embed.set_author(name="Error!")
embed.add_field(name="Initializing",
value="Spacey Boi! is still starting up, please try again in a 20 minutes")
embed.add_field(name="Support Server",
value="If you need help, feel free to join my support server over at support.spaceyboi.com")
embed.set_footer(text="Spacey Boi! • https://spaceyboi.com", icon_url=self.client.user.display_avatar.url)
await ctx.respond(embed=embed)
if uc > 250000:

cut off bc char limit

[proud mason]

uh are you sure this is correct 100100 < uc > 200000

[signal sandal]

fixed

< uc <

yeah late night work is a bad idea, yet i do it

very pleasing not to see errors spamed

fr

so clean

uc = len(bot.users)
while uc == 50000:
    print("50k")
while uc == 100000:
    print("100k")
while uc == 150000:
    print("150k")
while uc == 200000:
    print("200k")
while uc == 250000:
    print("250k")
while uc == 300000:
    print("300k")
while uc == 350000:
    print("350k")

``` is this stupid or functional

basicaly prints when cached list reaches x ammount

wait, could i have it like
while uc == 50000+-x ammount:

uc = len(bot.users)
while 40000 < uc < 50000:
    print("50k")
while 90000 < uc < 110000:
    print("100k")
while 148000 < uc < 160000:
    print("150k")
while 190000 < uc < 210000:
    print("200k")
while 248000 < uc < 260000:
    print("250k")
while 290000 < uc < 310000:
    print("300k")
while 348000 < uc < 352000:
    print("350k")
``` updated

[silver moat]

why while loop

[proud mason]

exactly 💀

uc never gets updated inside the while loop either. so it is basically a while True loop

[versed fern]

?

[signal sandal]

lmao

just realized

ima sleep

[silver moat]

wdym

[signal sandal]

its 130am for me

il fix this tmr

[proud mason]

You could use self.add_item in the view init, and pass instances of discord.ui.Button

Make sure to set the rows for all buttons

[topaz ginkgo]

bot.get_user or guild.get_member is returning none even tho the user exists because its my id

Why?

[versed fern]

thx

[proud mason]

Where are you accessing it?

Also, passing int right?

[topaz ginkgo]

mainly in a flask app

yk like for a dashboard

[versed fern]

adding them in init moves them to the far right, they should be on the left instead. Is this possible?

[proud mason]

And how do you access the bot?

And how do you deploy?

[proud mason]

Uh not an easy way iirc. You need to reorder view.children

[versed fern]

argh

but thank ya

Wouldn't it be more intuitive for buttons added in init to be placed on the left and all buttons added after that to be on the right (in chronological order)?

[proud mason]

i think the buttons through decorator are added through __new__ and not __init__

not sure

or wait

do you call super init before or after adding your buttons?

try calling super init after add_item

[versed fern]

before

I'll give it a try, thx

[proud mason]

👍

[versed fern]

doesn't work, since add_item appends the item to self.children which doesn't exist before super init is called

Could I just create self.children manually?

[proud mason]

ah

[proud mason]

nope. bad idea

you could see the workings of the decorator if you want

[versed fern]

I'll take a look

[proud mason]

hmm i just had a look. cant really use that

making empty functions might be the easiest way here

[versed fern]

That's sad but prob best, thank ya

Tbh, I didn't really understand the decorator code, where does it append the button to the view?

[proud mason]

yeah it doesnt. it sets this func.__discord_ui_model_type__ = Button. and then __init_subclass__ picks it up from that

[versed fern]

Shouldn't it be possible to change __init_subclass__ to get it to work?

If so, might be wise to change it for the entire library to make it more intuitive

[proud mason]

you could try your own solution

but yeah a mixture of add_item and decoraor is rare

[topaz ginkgo]

Just going to create a thread
#1125007798254702652

[hazy merlin]

Can anyone guide me on how to add aliases for prefix commands in bridge module?

[young bone]

aliases=[""]

[silver moat]

just like regular text-based commands

[hazy merlin]

So that means I just need to do this,
bridge.bridge_command(aliases=["alias1"])

Last time I tried this didn't work, must have missed something, I'll re-check

[ocean jackal]

nice, that worked! thanks again!

[raven island]

Any way I can programmatically get the old username of someone ?

[proud mason]

The old username badge?

I'm not sure if bots can access that

[raven island]

I didn’t think so. I was trying to see if I could access the previous username and update my db with the new.

[cyan quail]

please don't tell me you used usernames as a primary key...

[full basin]

[spring hare]

What is the best away to add new functions to base Classes (for example to Interaction or Context) (maybe monkeypatching?)?
Like add await ctx.debug() to send embed with debug info

[young bone]

degug?

[spring hare]

typo

[ionic hull]

hi, it's me again

I continue learning how to use role connections

I have already created a connected role using my bot

and I see my linked role and app info in my profile

the problem is - other server members don't see the app info

and even I if i view server as any role I don't see it

any thoughts where have I mistaken?

[wooden flame]

Heya, what would this type of view be called in the docs?

[spring hare]

uhm, embed?

[candid coral]

Hello. There was a problem understanding how to work with Cogs. Can you explain? I understood how to use Cogs, but not how to create them...

[proud mason]

You should only add new functions to Context

Interaction is a Discord Model. Those shouldn't be and cannot be modified

[spring hare]

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

[proud mason]

They have __slots__ defined. So you can't even add attributes/methods

[spring hare]

Oof

[candid coral]

I looked into this first but didn't get an answer

[spring hare]

Subclass Cog?

and add _init_ with self.bot

[spring hare]

But, Can I modify InteractionResponse?

[candid coral]

Do I need to create a Cogs folder in the folder where the main code file is located?

[spring hare]

I wanna add an ability to auto-update embed if InteractionResponse wasn't used in components callback

[proud mason]

Nope. That too is a Discord Model iirc. Try checking the docs

If it is a Data Class, you could modify it

[proud mason]

Not necessarily. But recommend if you have more than 1-2 cogs

[spring hare]

I have already succeeded with monkeypatching InteractionResponse

[candid coral]

Will all Cogs be able to access the main database?

[spring hare]

I already know, that I can add something like that if I modify view._scheduled_task and add finally to it

[spring hare]

Yes, never had problems with calling sql from code

[candid coral]

Thank you

[versed fern]

I tried using await interaction.delete_original_response()but I somehow get the following error:

Ignoring exception in view <EmbedToolView timeout=180.0 children=20> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.danger: 4> url=None disabled=False label='Confirm' emoji=None row=4>:

[proud mason]

can you show the callback for the button?

[versed fern]

    @discord.ui.button(label="ﾠﾠCancelﾠﾠ", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=4)
    async def cancel_editing(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        """Callback for the cancel button.

        Parameters

            The button that was clicked.
        interaction: discord.Interaction
            The interaction that clicked the button."""
        if self.canceled_before:
            await interaction.delete_original_response()
            return
        self.canceled_before = True
        button.label = "ﾠConfirmﾠﾠ"
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

[river summit]

how can i detect when my bot is abt to go offline/shutting down?

i need it so i can close db connections

[spring hare]

afaik it's impossible to predict future, so I recommend you to subclass Bot class and override close func

class BetterBot(Bot):
    async def close(self):
        await self.aiosqlite_clean_up()
        await super().close()

    async def start(self):
        await self.aiosqlite_start()
        await super().start()```

[proud mason]

yeah this is the best way

||start might be better than login||

[spring hare]

login is more fun

[signal sandal]

Took one hour to cache everything lmao, but atleast only one command is unuseable

[tribal girder]

how to get user server name?

[coarse spire]

.rtfm guild.name

[winter condor]

3 results

How would I go about sending a message after a button timeout?

[proud mason]

Lmao wtf? How big a bot do you have?

[proud mason]

Damn tf 💀

1 hr tho

[versed fern]

Don't wanna be anoying, but any ideas?

[signal sandal]

There are quite a few replys

But, u could make a shutdown function where you disconnect from your db

[versed fern]

Who are you refering to?

[proud mason]

defer before deleting

[signal sandal]

The reply’s below urs?

Oh mb they are for another question

[versed fern]

thx

Set button.disabled to True
Then use interaction.response.edit_message and pass view=self

i tried but :

code:

    def __init__(self, user_id, user_name):

So are you using discord.py or pycord?

[midnight ivy]

um yeah i using discord.py

i stopped using it for a long time and so i forgot a lot of things

i restarted

[silver moat]

Ok, so switch the interaction and button args here:

class newUser(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, user_id, user_name):
        super().__init__()
        self.user_id = user_id
        self.user_name = user_name

    @discord.ui.button(label="Create", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
-   async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
+   async def button_callback(self, interaction, button):
        user_id = self.user_id
        user_name = self.user_name
        # createNewUser(user_id,user_name)
        button.disabled = True
        # await interaction.response.send_message('Kullanıcı oluşturuldu....', ephemeral=True)
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        self.stop()

[midnight ivy]

okayy

it worked

thanks silly squid

[hearty gorge]

I want to add 📥 & 📁 to a button, when I copy and paste them into my code they convert to :strings:, which don't render back into an emoji if placed in label= or result in an exception ('Invalid emoji') if placed in emoji=. Copy and pasting the emoji equivalent \📥 & \📁 from a google result into my code works, but doesn't render it in Discord style. How do I get this working?

[silver moat]

You can't

[hearty gorge]

Ah, thanks

[harsh dome]

I'm trying to handle errors globally, but it seems like on_command_error isn't called when I raise(mysql.connector.Error) when using /map. So my question is, is this because global error handling only allows for Pycord's specific errors? If so, how am I supposed to handle non-pycord errors?

@bot.event
 async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
     if (error, mysql.connector.Error):
         print("sql error!")

     print("Error occurs")
     if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
         ctx.send(
             "You are missing arguments. Please use `/help` to ensure that you are using the command correctly.")
     else:
         ctx.send(f"An unexpected error occured: {error} ")

@bot.command(name="map", brief="shows map", description="Shows the map of the community")
 async def showMap(ctx):
     # print(ctx.guild.id)
     raise mysql.connector.Error

     await ctx.respond(f"Her's the url: placeholder")

[proud mason]

you could download the relevant emoji from twemoji and upload it as a custom emoji in a server

[hearty gorge]

Thanks for the suggestion, and that doesn't require Discord Nitro or anything?

[proud mason]

you can get a fairly decent quality image by right-clicking the emoji in discord web

Legend thank you!!

[proud mason]

haha no worries

[verbal marten]

I'm trying to get the embed object from an old message. When I fetch the message using it's ID, it returns an _EmptyEmbed object. Is there any way to fix this?

[neat flume]

Greetings, I am trying to ping a role with a slash command however when the slash command goes through, the ping shows up but is not highlighted nor does anyone get a notification. I keep seeing people talking about "allowed_mentions" and I've tried using it in several different ways, but no luck.

I've attached the code that the slash command is in, and an example message when the command is ran. Any help, if possible, would be appreciated

[proud mason]

this might have something to do with the fact that you are mentioning in followup.send

bot permission are kinda fucked up on discord's end with regards to interactions

try doing the same in a normal response message without deferring

[somber pelican]

hey everyone, if i defer() with ephemeral=True, does interaction.response.send() also become ephemeral?

[young bone]

you have to ephemeral both

[somber pelican]

ok ok thx

[silver moat]

if you defer, you can't respond. However, the ephemerality of the interaction is determined by the original response. For example, you if defer ephemerally, the follow-up must be ephemeral. However, you cannot defer non-ephemerally and send a follow-up ephemerally and vice versa.

[somber pelican]

ah right thanks!

[neat flume]

Wow.... that worked! Thanks, can't believe that was the issue

[silver moat]

not really, it's just webhooks

[proud mason]

Yeah right

Interactions are webhooks under the hood

[rare ice]

Mentioning slash commands don't work at all? https://cdn.nziie.xyz/u/0hvG91I1krLp https://cdn.nziie.xyz/u/vCfg12AWxbZO but i saw another bot mentioning slash commands in an embed

[proud mason]

Makes sense

[proud mason]

Not everything renders in modals

Chat input is not the same as input text

[rare ice]

look at the embed

</test:1>

</test:1>

just shows /test with no ui

[proud mason]

Ah my bad

[silver moat]

yeah they patched that

[rare ice]

but i even did a valid slash command with the bot's id, and no mention

[silver moat]

you can't just mention non-existing commands

[rare ice]

^

[silver moat]

it's not the bot ID

it's the command's ID

[rare ice]

oh

how am i supposed to get that without jsk

[silver moat]

ctx.command.id

or ctx.command.mention to skip the hassle

[rare ice]

ik i mean as a user

[proud mason]

Right click on the command after selecting it in chat input

[rare ice]

but the bot's id was easier

oh

[silver moat]

and having developer mode enabled

[proud mason]

Not sure if that works on mobile

Yep

[silver moat]

it doesn't

[young bone]

That also works

[spring hare]

Yes, but not on mobile 💀

[proud mason]

Big F

[young bone]

There is so much that doesnt work on mobile xd

[somber pelican]

where do I set guild_only in a command group?

do I set it in group.command() or SlashCommandGroup()

[silver moat]

it has to be set on the top-level, so the command group

[somber pelican]

    keyword_commands = SlashCommandGroup(
        name="keywords",
        description="Manage trigger keywords for guides (requires Manage Server)",
        guild_only=True
    )

like this then?

aight thanks

[silver moat]

I don't remember off the top of my head

but that seems right

[copper pine]

I'm having a problem with py-cord, and it's that after a while of not having used the bot, when a command is executed, it gives a 404 error as "unknown interaction", but when I run it again (the command), it doesn't happen anymore. Is it a code error or something? It happens with all commands.

[silver moat]

Seems like a Discord thing

[harsh dust]

with modals, is there a way to tell if the user pressed 'Cancel'?

[silver moat]

there is no definitive way

[spring hare]

Afaik no, but you can use timeout system with buttons like:
User presses the button
Modal opens
Wait 180 seconds
If no modal answer, then user closed the modal

[harsh dust]

That's not an entirely reliable way of doing it since it could genuinely be just left open for 180 seconds since user is AFK or something
But its fine I'll just do a different approach to what im doing which is buttons being disabled when the modal is open and so far when the user clicks 'Cancel' i need a way to re-enable the buttons

[prisma flicker]

Why do you need to disable the buttons?

[clear vault]

I hope this fits in here but I wanted to ask if anyone can help me with pip venv.

[polar linden]

Hi, is there any testing library for pycord like dpytest?

[silver moat]

not as far as I know?

[proud mason]

dpytest might actually work with pycord

you would need to try it and see

[fervent cradle]

does autocomplete not filter if theres not so many items? lets say i have 4 items does it not filter for those?

[young bone]

mhm?

[fervent cradle]

ah okay i thought it was just something with my code

                expansion_amount = round(random.randint(400, 5000), -1)
                if await self.increaseBankCapacity(uid, expansion_amount):
                    l = f"Your bank space has been successfully expanded by **{expansion_amount}**"
                else:
                    l = f"Something went wrong with the transaction!"
                return l``` how can i generate the expansion amount into a variable if the user inputs multiple use items, but i also want to be safe if they input a large number like 1k (if they reach that many items) How can i potentially prevent it from taking a long time to reply as well?

[river summit]

is this an efficient way of removing documents?

async def on_guild_remove(self, guild: discord.Guild):
     guild_id = guild.id

     collections = await self.db.list_collection_names()

     async def delete_documents(collection, guild_id):
           await collection.delete_many({"guild_id": guild_id})

     coroutines = []
     for name in collections:
           collection = self.db[name]
           coro = delete_documents(collection, guild_id)
           coroutines.append(coro)

    await asyncio.gather(*coroutines)
    coroutines.clear()

[proud mason]

this part could be better done using TaskGroups

also, no need to define delete_documents inside the method??

[river summit]

async def delete_documents(self, collection, guild_id):
   await collection.delete_many({"guild_id": guild_id})

async def on_guild_remove(self, guild: discord.Guild):
     guild_id = guild.id

     collections = await self.db.list_collection_names()

     async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as task_group:
          for name in collections:
              collection = self.db[name]
              await task_group.create_task(self.delete_documents(collection, guild_id))

something along the lines of this?

[proud mason]

yes but i dont think you are supposed to await create_task (in order to gain advantage of TaskGroup)

[river summit]

oh yeah my bad, appreciate the feedback!

[proud mason]

oh yk if you are just calling a single function from delete_documents, you could just ditch that and directly call collection.delete_many

[copper pine]

what are de differences between ctx.reply() and ctx.respond() ?

[ocean jackal]

after re-generating a bot token, do you need to do the OAuth2 url thing again?

[proud mason]

Uh depends

ctx.reply is for prefix cmds and ctx.respond is for app cmds

But both are the same for bride cmds

[proud mason]

No

[ocean jackal]

ah weird, I’m getting a 404 error with ctx.defer() all of a sudden in a new deployment env

[cyan quail]

are you on pycord 2.4.1

[ocean jackal]

I think discord might be having some stability issues or something

[elfin dagger]

is there a limit to the amount of pages you can have in a paginator

[silver moat]

uhh your memory.

[elfin dagger]

incredible very cool

[drowsy python]

was looking at the docs about editing my bot's username with a command, i see that discord.ClientUser.edit returns a discord.ClientUser

do i actually have to set my bot.user to this or what do i do with it

actually scratch that bot.user cant be edited, safe to ignore?

[silver moat]

it just returns the updated value for convenience

[drowsy python]

makes sense

thanks yo

[full widget]

Is there a simple way to convert mentions to plaintext as discord displays them? (@colin instead of @cosmic fern), without using message.clean_content, as ideally I want to convert them before sending the message.

unfortunately clean_content doesn't seem to support escaped mentions, and will return something like <@​ 857027925944696873> instead of the mention as it is displayed in discord (when using for example, allowed_mentions=AllowedMentions.none())

[silver moat]

not that I know of. You could try using message.mentions and doing str.replace.

[full widget]

Right, though that would still require sending the message first I guess

and actually

that's essentially what clean_content does, so not sure that would work

ah yeah thats exactly what clean_content does. So i'd need to write another set of re.escape functions for escaped mentions I guess

transformations = {
            re.escape(f"<#{channel.id}>"): f"#{channel.name}"
            for channel in self.channel_mentions
        }

        mention_transforms = {
            re.escape(f"<@{member.id}>"): f"@{member.display_name}"
            for member in self.mentions
        }

        # add the <@!user_id> cases as well..
        second_mention_transforms = {
            re.escape(f"<@!{member.id}>"): f"@{member.display_name}"
            for member in self.mentions
        }

        transformations.update(mention_transforms)
        transformations.update(second_mention_transforms)****

hi my bot running with prefix but i want to bot running with slash command

how can i change

[proud mason]

see this https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands

[midnight ivy]

okay

hey i visited the link

my bot running with cog

i cant changed my bot slash command

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

Here's the slash cog groups example.

Isn't it commands.slash_command?

And slash commands can't have aliases

Have you read the docs or the guide?

no how i read docs or guide?

[prisma flicker]

The docs are linked in #faq

https://pycord.dev/guide

And here is the guide ^

i run this command in my bot but i can't use the command

@prisma flicker

[uneven beacon]

so i have a function
and i want to use it in both a slash command and a normal command
is there a way to check if the command excecuted is a normal command or a slash command?

[proud mason]

Uh are you using dpy or smth?

Show pip list

?tag client

[obtuse junco]

discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)

[proud mason]

Use discord.Bot if you only want slash cmds and not prefix cmds

[midnight ivy]

@proud mason this my pip list

[midnight ivy]

i using discord.py

i don't know how to sync slash commands in my bots

global or local

[proud mason]

ah bruh

this is pycord server

you should ask for help in dpy server

pycord and dpy have completely different way to add slash commands

[proud mason]

||or you could have just directed them to dpy server||

[silver moat]

we don't discriminate based on libraries :)

[midnight ivy]

@proud masonhow can i join discord.py server

you can send me link?

[silver moat]

.gg/dpy

[midnight ivy]

thanks

oh no I am banned from dpy server

🙄

I wonder why

[signal sandal]

maybe its time to move to pycord

[midnight ivy]

bruh

What is the difference between pycord and dpy?

[uneven beacon]

.

[silver moat]

just use bridge.Bot

[versed fern]

I'm working on a embed tool using buttons and modals. What's the easiest way to edit the embed (which has the "Edit Title" button below) in the callback of the edit title modal (which gets send after pressing the "Edit Title" button)? Should I just pass the message to the modal?

[proud mason]

do you pass Context to the function?

check if the context is instance of discord.ApplicationContext or discord.ext.commands.Context

[proud mason]

in the modal, interaction.message.embeds[0] would have the embed object

edit that

[versed fern]

awesome, thx

[proud mason]

and edit the message using interaction.response.edit_message

🙃

[frigid crater]

Is there a way with the autocomplete functionality that it "removes" the non-matching strings?

[grizzled sentinel]

I think I understand what you mean here are 2 autocomplete functions that would do what you want.
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_autocomplete.py#L109
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_autocomplete.py#L172

Unless you mean removing strings from the actual user text.

[frigid crater]

So essentially you do your autocomplete, and when you got to choose your item you are given your list for example

and you can click from that list

however if I have 3 words, and I type the first 2 letters of 1 of those words, I don't want the other 2 words to appear because they don't match.

so the list should essentially "shink" based on the autocompletion

[grizzled sentinel]

Yup, I think this is what you need

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/utils.html#discord.utils.basic_autocomplete

[frigid crater]

ty

[somber pelican]

how would I go about implementing a cooldown for on_message?

    async def on_message(self, message: Message) -> None:
        if message.author.id == self.user.id:
            return

        try:
            await self.handler.handle_message(message)

        except Exception:
            if isinstance(error, ApplicationCommandInvokeError):
                error = error.original

            self.bot.logger.error(error, exc_info=True)

            await message.channel.send(
                f"""
:confused: An error occurred.
{error}
                """,
                ephemeral=True,
            )

this works fine, but i can't think of a clean way :/

[fervent cradle]

[young bone]

What is post.url_file?

That is not a file image link @glossy forum

[glossy forum]

Type of post is a small dataclass I created for storing some of the fetched data from the website
.url_file is a str attribute containing a link to the file

which does contain the right value

edit: okay, it actually works as expected for one website, but doesn't for the other
so it's on me

[simple plover]

how to get a wavelink server?

[hazy vault]

my slash and message commands aren't being correctly registered
they show up in the integration settings but they don't show up in / and right click on messages
there are no errors in the cog and there should be no issue with registering them
I've waited for over an hour for them to register correctly but it never happened
does anyone know why

[simple plover]

Did u invite the bot with application.commands option?

[hazy vault]

yeah

they show up in integration settings but just not usable for users

[hazy vault]

I should add, they register correctly in debug guilds

[proud mason]

debug guilds make commands "guild commads". they will only be registered in those guilds

remove debug guilds parameter completely and they will show up in all servers

[hazy vault]

I have it in the bot's constructor

[proud mason]

Yep remove the parameter. That make all commands global

[full widget]

does anyone have experience with passing roles to guild.create_custom_emoji() ? I'm having trouble actually letting people use the emojis I make, right now they don't work unless you have the administrator perm?

[young bone]

[full widget]

Do you mean enable external emojis for that role?

[young bone]

Im not really sure if its also counts to custome emojis

[full widget]

ye I don't think that's the problem

[candid coral]

Hello. Which method is responsible for waiting for a message?

[young bone]

Do you mean wait_for("message")?

[candid coral]

Yes, thank you

[hearty gorge]

Hello, why does the nonce return as None?

await channel.send('testing', nonce=99)
last_message = await bot.get_channel(1111111111111111111).history(limit=1).flatten()
print(last_message[0].nonce)
print(last_message[0].content)

None
testing

[true panther]

Any pointers on implementing something like a timeout? Like, applying a role for a set amount of time, for example.

[proud mason]

Messages from channel.history will not return the nonce set. It is only for verifying a message when sending one

channel.send return the message object, so there is no need to fetch it from channel.history

message = await channel.send(...) message.nonce

[fervent cradle]

how do i check if a specific slash command was ran in an on message event

[astral python]

could you elaborate further?

[full basin]

Slash commands don't go through on_message

[proud mason]

so all other commands should fail?

[proud mason]

this will be the way

you can make your own Exception that inherits from ApplicationCommandError, and raise that in the check saying smth like "Bot in maintenance"

you can even handle this exception class in your error handler

and send a message to the user

[proud mason]

if bot isnt in maintenance, return True

[fervent cradle]

i have the logic, yes, i want to disable it, it disables all commands though

[proud mason]

oh do you only want to disable a single command?

then use the check on that commad

.rtfm check

How to silently (without log in audit log) delete messages with bot? I saw nqn deleting users messages to replace them with webhook message

[proud mason]

ctx.command ?

[proud mason]

huh i dont think thats possible

[spring hare]

webhooks?

odd

[proud mason]

maybe

not sure

[spring hare]

Odd

[spring hare]

But how nqn does that?

Even bots don't show who deleted the message

Like if I deleted it by myself

[fervent cradle]

so i just check if thats the name does it work with groups

[torpid wraith]

Is it possible to have a bot "playing a game" with rich/custom data like this?

[silver moat]

nope

[torpid wraith]

sadge

[proud mason]

idk i didnt it was possible.. maybe ask in ddevs server or wait for someone else

[proud mason]

audit log only shows up if someone else other than original author deleted the message

[proud mason]

uh not sure. try it and see

otherwise you also have ctx.command.parent

[silver moat]

bot-deleted messages aren't audit-logged?

[proud mason]

hmm are you sure?

let me test

[spring hare]

Uhm... Nope?

[proud mason]

yeah thought so

[proud mason]

hmm

ddevs?

[spring hare]

nqn server

[proud mason]

or nqn support

ah

[spring hare]

I don't get it

yea

but yk. discord™️

[silver moat]

no, not at all

[proud mason]

i dont think one can be 100% sure with anything discord api related

[spring hare]

WTF

[proud mason]

wait wtf really?

[spring hare]

If you delete exactly 1 message, this will not show up in audit logs

💀

[proud mason]

oh huh

wtf lmao

WTF

Although i was hoping this

[spring hare]

This is so stupid

wth?

Why?

[wet coral]

Hi, is it possible to create one event listener for every event?
So the listener would get called when any event occurs and it should be possible to get the name of the event in the callback.

[spring hare]

I think you can replace bot.wait_for

I need to check that, GitHub mobile is so bad

Nah, need more stuff

[spring hare]

Why do you need this by the way? I have an idea how to do it

[wet coral]

I am storing some tasks I want to run on certain events in a database. And when any of the possible events get triggered I retrieve the according rows from the database and execute the tasks.
But the execution is handled by a custom class, so it's always the same code in the event listeners.

And I'm trying to avoid creating multiple listeners with always the same code.

[spring hare]

I know all listeners are listed in bot._listeners

You can crate dynamic functions generator I guess

Like loop through the list and declare listeners with parameter inside

Or... Find low level func

Wait for other helpers tbh, I can't really check stuff from phone

[wet coral]

Hm. Well I'll have a look. But can I create two listeners for the same event or can only one listener be created per event?

[spring hare]

You can have multiple listeners, but only 1 event

In other words:
bot.event will replace original, but bot.listener won't

[wet coral]

oh ok, good to know

[spring hare]

👍

[wet coral]

Another question: Does the bot have to share a guild with the user it's trying to fetch?

[spring hare]

Wdym?
You can fetch anything with id, but get only if this is in bots cache

So fetch_guild always works

[wet coral]

So fetch_user will always work?

[spring hare]

Yup

[wet coral]

ok thx

[spring hare]

But get_user only if bot saw user

And has intents

[wet coral]

sure

and guild.fetch_member only if the member is in the guild, right?

[spring hare]

Guild has fetch_member?

[wet coral]

yes

[spring hare]

You can get info about server members only if your bot on this server and has members intents

Otherwise, you can't get info from the server

What's the best way to set the color of an embed? I'm currently using a button (Edit Color) to open a modal. In here, I set the value to previous_color= str(interaction.message.embeds[0].color). When the modal is submitted, I'm currently trying to set color to the hex code received (e.g. #9b59b6). This currently doesn't work:

Ignoring exception in modal <cogs.messages.ColorModal object at 0x000001ED5020A710>:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\bruno\Documents\Programming\AIM-Bot\venv\Lib\site-packages\discord\ui\modal.py", line 341, in dispatch
    await value.callback(interaction)
  File "C:\Users\bruno\Documents\Programming\AIM-Bot\cogs\messages.py", line 574, in callback
    user_embed.color = int(self.children[0].value)
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '#9b59b6'

The modal callback:

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        """Callback for when the modal is submitted.

        Parameters
        ------------
        interaction: discord.Interaction
            The interaction that submitted the modal."""
        user_embed: discord.Embed = interaction.message.embeds[0]
        user_embed.color = int(self.children[0].value)
        if self.tutorial_embed:
            await interaction.response.edit_message(embeds=[user_embed, self.tutorial_embed])
            return
        await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=user_embed)

Since this currently doesn't work, I was wondering if this even is a smart approach or if there is a better way?

[plucky citrus]

Hm i dont see anything about having 2 buttons in a single line. Do i just duplicate

and i have to rename "MyView" to something else

[proud mason]

Just add another decorator and function

[plucky citrus]

i have no clue what that means i am a sped

[proud mason]

class View(...):
  @discord.ui.button(...)
  async def button1(...):
    ...

  @discord.ui.button(...)
  async def button2(...):
    ...

Like that

[plucky citrus]

I am using a mongo database which stores information from the server. To speed up the queries I have thought of creating a local variable as a cache where I store temporary information and it is restarted every X hours, if the server does not use it, it is deleted from the system.

Do you think this is a good idea?

[silver moat]

if it's not out of sync and doesn't use too much memory, sure

[fervent cradle]

is it a good idea to use different databases for stuff? say postgres for currency and all that more of interactive stuff like afk and all and idk mongo for moderation to store all the servers and their configs? or should i just use postgres for everything

[silver moat]

try converting it to a string and convert it to rgb and plug it in discord.Colour.from_rgb()(https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.Colour.from_rgb)

[true pewter]

pymongo with motor?

[silver moat]

as long as it works it is fine

[silver moat]

I was referring to the cache

[fervent cradle]

so is it better to have it in 2 or no.. ill be hosting both locally either way

[true pewter]

but pymongo, it doesn't support asynchronous methods, does it?

[storm oyster]

Motor is pymongos async module

[silver moat]

better to have one because of scaling? Like you would be hosting 1 instead of 2.

[true pewter]

yes ik

[plucky citrus]

When i restart the bot. The buttons stop working how fix

or it will just stop working after a short time

[silver moat]

if you want buttons that always work:

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[plucky citrus]

ah

[silver moat]

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

[plucky citrus]

so they normally just stopp working after a short time

[queen willow]

idk what I did wrong here

[woeful spindle]

nvm got it

[plucky citrus]

I figured it out. Is it possible to name thiis other than MyView

[silver moat]

yes

Nice Token

[queen willow]

it gives me an error with the token, anyone knows what caused it?

[queen willow]

yeah i know, forgot to hide it, I'm trying to make it work since 4 hours ago

I already resetted it bth

[grizzled sentinel]

Thats not how envs work

[young bone]

^

[fervent cradle]

zervyrel ur smart u always help

[young bone]

lul

[queen willow]

that's what my friend told me to do

It was not working before too

[fervent cradle]

1, dont use replit
2, replit has its own env in settings, so creating ur own env file is still visible to others

[queen willow]

That's my first bot, I want to try pycord

[grizzled sentinel]

The env is basically a dictionary. You should have something like this in your env file
TOKEN = mytoken123
Then os.environ["TOKEN"] (getenv might work to but i know my way works for sure.)

jan is right to there should be a tab on the side that lets you set envs and even insert the get statment automatically

[fervent cradle]

while ur here do u know why the command isnt being checked for the name and the parent?

[queen willow]

it tells me that environ is not callable

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.replit.com/programming-ide/workspace-features/secrets
Read this. Then it also shows how to access it. (Your original way was correct buy my way is just a bit different.)

[queen willow]

ah pff

but yeah get the name attribute

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationCommand.qualified_name might be the best thing to look for to

ctx.command.qualified_name == "dev maintenance"

ah yes exactly what i was looking for thank you

or not this still doesnt turn it off

@bot.check
async def allChecks(ctx):

    if bot.checkMaintenance(): 
        if ctx.command.qualified_name == "dev maintenance": return True
        raise maintenanceError()

    return True```

```py
    def checkMaintenance(self):
        r = self.getValue("maintenance")
        return True if r == "1" else False``` currently `r` is set to 1

[grizzled sentinel]

Can you print ctx.command.qualified_name, just to be sure it is returning the right thing

[fervent cradle]

that only prints dev

and ctx.command.parent.name is None

[grizzled sentinel]

thats weird

[plucky citrus]

I might wound mentwlly special but is it possible to make the bot play a .mp3 when in a vc

Play it thru the mic or smt

[grizzled sentinel]

This should help you get started: https://guide.pycord.dev/voice/playing

[plucky citrus]

[grizzled sentinel]

Are you using slash or prefix commands?

[fervent cradle]

slash

parent None

    print(f'parent name {ctx.command.parent.name}')

        print(f'parent name {ctx.command.parent.name}')
        print(f'command name { ctx.command.name}')
        if ctx.command.qualified_name == "dev maintenance": return True
        raise maintenanceError()

    return True
``` command name wont get printed

[grizzled sentinel]

My test seems to work. Can you show how you are creating the group?

[fervent cradle]

from discord.commands import SlashCommandGroup

dev_commands = SlashCommandGroup("dev", "developer commands")```

[grizzled sentinel]

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    greetings = discord.SlashCommandGroup("greetings", "Various greeting from cogs!")

    @greetings.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        print(ctx.command.qualified_name)

This gives me greetings ping

[fervent cradle]

    # Sets maintenance mode
    @dev_commands.command(description="Toggles maintenance mode")
    @commands.guild_only()
    @isDeveloper()

        await self.bot.maintenance(action)

        embed = discord.Embed(title="Maintenance mode stopped!", color=discord.Colour.embed_background())
        if action: embed.title = "Maintenance mode started!"

        if action: await self.bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.do_not_disturb, activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.playing, name="in maintenance mode"))
        else: await self.bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(name="for /help", type=discord.ActivityType.watching, status=discord.Status.online))

        await ctx.respond(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)``` this is my command

im also running the developer version of pycord unsure if that matters

I copied exactly the guide

[fervent cradle]

yes, but are you doing it in the @bot.check? thats where i am checking the name of it

[grizzled sentinel]

Im sorry, I am not knowledgeable with voice. I would create a thread so that someone who is can answer it.

[grizzled sentinel]

I would think the check would pass the same ctx but I can test

[fervent cradle]

would be lovely

[plucky citrus]

I did a little digging. The docs is outdated

[grizzled sentinel]

I guess you are right. I have the same issue

[fervent cradle]

well thats that then

ill keep it as if ctx.command.qualified_name == "dev maintenance": return True for now tho thanks for the help

[grizzled sentinel]

What is strange is that the ctx object is the same

[fervent cradle]

thats weird then, i haven't got a clue what shenanigans are going on in the back

printing just ctx.command also only returns the group name in my case dev

[proud mason]

could you update to the latest dev version?

[grizzled sentinel]

Ok, I found something. Both commands are run through the check. So the first time it runs the group command through the check. And then it runs the sub command

[grizzled sentinel]

Nah, they are good now. I found the issue

[proud mason]

i remember fixing that tho

[grizzled sentinel]

oh

[fervent cradle]

yeah i can update just a second

[proud mason]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2139

hmmm wait

that is only the hooks

[fervent cradle]

another PR for om

[proud mason]

@fervent cradle @grizzled sentinel does the check run 2 times?

[grizzled sentinel]

yes

once for the group and once for the command

although jans only runs once because the check fails on the group

[proud mason]

ah so you could do if isinstance(ctx.command, discord.SlashCommandGroup): return or smth

[proud mason]

ic

[fervent cradle]

just me always having issues with slash groups? lmao

[proud mason]

i really dont get how running hooks and checks for slashgroups is not a feature

[proud mason]

you can weed out the groups using this if you want the old way back

even discord considers the group as the "command" and subcommands as "options"

[grizzled sentinel]

if isinstance(ctx.command, discord.SlashCommandGroup) and ctx.command.name == "dev":
  return True
if ctx.command.qualified_name == "dev maintenance":
  return True

Would this work? So that only one group is returned true automatically

[proud mason]

tbh the 2nd one wont be required

the 1st one should be enough

or wait

are you trying to block the command or allow it?

return True allows it

[grizzled sentinel]

allow only that command

[proud mason]

ah

[proud mason]

yes so thats right

[fervent cradle]

yeah, thanks a lot guys

[fervent cradle]

um is there also a way to make __init__ async?

class SearchView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot, timeout: Optional[float] = 90):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)

        search_place = await self.bot.getSearchPlaces(3)

        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label=search_place, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple))``` im trying to do this

[wet coral]

__init__ cannot be async.
You could put the async call into a load coro and await that after the object creation...

e.g.

class SearchView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot, timeout: Optional[float] = 90):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
    
    async def load(self):
        search_place = await self.bot.getSearchPlaces(3)
        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label=search_place, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple))

view = await SearchView(bot, 100).load()
# or
view2 = SearchView(bot, 200)
await view2.load()

[wet coral]

Looks like the environment variable "TOKEN" does not exist

[queen willow]

It does, I added it in the .env file

TOKEN = ...

[silver moat]

There shouldn't be any spaces iirc

and how are you loading the .env file, if at all

[wet coral]

use dotenv.load_dotenv() to load the variables into the environment.
pip install python-dotenv
If you named your .env file anything other than .env you have to use dotenv.load_dotenv("path/to/.env")

[silver moat]

@queen willow hello?

[queen willow]

yeah, here a sec

something like this?

[silver moat]

uhh no

[wet coral]

dotenv is an external library
use pip install python-dotenv to install it

[sand bone]

is it possible to hide commands from that list when you type / from certain roles?

[queen willow]

I already installed that

[wet coral]

then just dotenv.load_dotenv(path)
without the os.

[silver moat]

yes, but only server moderators can do that

[wet coral]

ah no, sorry. Wrong. @queen willow

[sand bone]

sorry, i missworded it, is it possible to hide certain commands from certain roles? so say the ban command cant be shown to normal people but to mods and stuff it can this is how im doing it rn

@bot.slash_command(name="dm", description="Send a DM to a user")
async def dm(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, user: discord.User, *, message: str):
    # Check if the user has an allowed role
    if not any(role.id in allowed_roles for role in ctx.author.roles):
        await ctx.respond("You don't have permission to use this command.")
        print(f"User {ctx.author.name} tried to use the DM command but was denied.")
        return
    # Defer the response
    await ctx.defer()
    try:
        # Send a DM to the user
        await user.send(f"`{message}`\n\nThis message was sent by {ctx.author.mention}.\nIf you wish to respond to this message, please do so in the server. I cannot recieve messages.")
        # Let the command invoker know that the DM was sent
        await ctx.respond(f"Message sent to {user.name}.")
        print(f"Message sent to {user.name} and reads as follows: '{message}'. This command was used by {ctx.author.name}")
    except discord.Forbidden:
        # The user has DMs disabled or has blocked the bot
        await ctx.respond(f"Couldn't send a message to {user.name}.")
        print(f"Message could not be sent to {user.name} and reads as follows: '{message}'. This command was used by {ctx.author.name}")

[wet coral]

dotenv.load_dotenv(path)
bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

@queen willow that should work

[silver moat]

yes, but only server moderators can choose which role(s) to hide/show the command from

[wet coral]

dotenv.load_dotenv() takes the .env file and loads all variables, that are defined in the file, into the environment so that you can access them using os.getenv()

[sand bone]

so this wouldnt be done through code?

[fervent cradle]

so theres not a better way to do this huh, but if i made the function not async then it would be blocking

[silver moat]

nope, but you can set a default permission for a command

[waxen whale]

https://tenor.com/view/date-a-live-iv-kurumi-shadow-show-up-season4-gif-25405342

everyone behaving?

[silver moat]

should be

[waxen whale]

good

[full basin]

Am not

[waxen whale]

-to @full basin 1m ok

[wanton pond]

⏱ Timed out dark.py for 1 minute

[wet coral]

Calling async functions from sync functions during a running event loop is never simple or "good"
What does your getSearchPlaces function do?

[waxen whale]

:3

[solemn idol]

https://tenor.com/view/smash-bros-yoshi-hammer-hit-smash-gif-16289952

[fervent cradle]

basically returns just random choices specified by the input, but i got told even these functions should be async

[waxen whale]

||harder-|| what

[solemn idol]

SORRY

LOL

[waxen whale]

you called it

[solemn idol]

Sure thing will do when I'm back in Germany

[silver moat]

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

[solemn idol]

Hehehe

[wet coral]

sounds like it doesn't need to be async...
If there's no waiting for a server response or something similar involved, it doesn't have to be an async function...

[silver moat]

@solemn idol @waxen whale @full basin leave thanks

[wet coral]

What's the code of the function? @fervent cradle

[fervent cradle]

just random.choice(list)

right so i got lied to by py-cord support

[wet coral]

well then its syncronous...

[waxen whale]

excuse me?

[sand bone]

ah so I would use actual permissions instead of roles, got it 👍

[wet coral]

If there's no await involved in your custom function, it's syncronous xD

Even if the function call itself may be not blocking, the execution of random.choice is still blocking

[queen willow]

"dotenv" is not defined

I imported load.dotenv

[fervent cradle]

right so i can remove async from all my functions that arent using anything to communicate with api or whatever

[wet coral]

import dotenv ...

[fervent cradle]

or should i still keep it for good practice lmao

[silver moat]

good practice is to not do anything that you shouldn't need to do.

[wet coral]

pretty much jeah... Basically any function where no await statement is used

[warm tendon]

is there a way for the bot to notice reactions to messages without it being an embed or the bot being the message author?

[wet coral]

listen to on_reaction_add or on_raw_reaction_add and filter out the messages you want or don't want

[warm tendon]

Thank you soo much! I'll read up on those two methods 🙂

[fervent cradle]

thanks so much for the advice, thankfully i didnt have so many functions yet, ill test out the entirity of the bot later to see if i've missed some removing awaits but if it doesnt whine i think its fine

[wet coral]

np

[fervent cradle]

ah while you're here why not idk why this keeps failing and users can sell stuff they dont own

    async def sell(self, ctx, item: str, amount: str):
        if amount not in ["all", "max", "maximum"]:
            amount = int(dehumanizer.dehumanizer.parse_string(amount))
        else:
            amount = await self.bot.hasItem(ctx.author.id, item, amount)

        if amount <= 0:
            await ctx.respond(embed=discord.Embed(description="You need to sell at least one item", colour=discord.Colour.embed_background()), ephemeral=True)
            return
        
        if amount == 0:
            await ctx.respond(embed=discord.Embed(description="You haven't got enough of this item in your inventory to sell!", colour=discord.Colour.embed_background()), ephemeral=True)
            return
        
        info = await self.bot.getItem(item)

        await self.bot.removeItem(ctx.author.id, info['id'], amount)

        await self.bot.addBalance(ctx.author.id, int(info['price']*self.config.sell_value))
        embed = discord.Embed(colour=discord.Colour.embed_background(), title="Item(s) sold!", description=f"You successfully sold {amount}x {info['emoji']} {item} for **{self.config.currencyEmoji} {humanize.intcomma(int(info['price']*self.config.sell_value))}**")
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed)```

```py
    async def hasItem(self, uid, item, amount):
        val = await self.fetchval("SELECT quantity FROM inventory INNER JOIN items ON inventory.itemID = items.itemSerial WHERE userID=$1 AND items.itemID=$2;", int(uid), item)
        if not val or val < int(amount):
            return 0
        else:
            return val

[queen willow]

it gives an error with the token again, should I declare it as token="TOKEN" or token=TOKEN?

in the .env file

[wet coral]

TOKEN=<your token here> (without the <>)

[queen willow]

exactly what I did lol

[wet coral]

ok, pls send your current code again

[wet coral]

maybe open a thread for this.
but it seems like you don't check the result of removeItem and just give the money to the player

[fervent cradle]

yeah

[full basin]

Why is it inside a {}?

It's not json

[wet coral]

that's what I just wanted to ask too xD

what's the full name of your .env file @queen willow
it should be .env
if it is, you don't need the {}

just
.env

TOKEN=your token here

[queen willow]

ah right lmao

[full basin]

You should really start using Google to.solve simple matters

same error

[versed fern]

Thx, I’ll give it a try

[full basin]

Did you load the env file?..

[wet coral]

he did, but maybe wrong path

[full basin]

Helping with no code isn't useful

[queen willow]

yes dotenv.load_dotenv("home/container/example.env")

[wet coral]

@queen willow try dotent.load_dotenv() without path

if the .env is in the same directory as your bot.py

[queen willow]

yes it is

[full basin]

Then don't add a path

[wet coral]

then the path isn't needed

[full basin]

Let the lib do it by itself

[versed fern]

But the value embed.color returns is a hex code right?

[warm tendon]

is it alright if i dm you with a question or two about the information i found?

[wet coral]

sure

[full basin]

Afaik, yes

[versed fern]

Hmm, makes it harder to deal with

[wet coral]

@queen willow and btw, if I were you, I'd regenerate the bot token. One could be able to decipher it from the image...

[queen willow]

k I will

[queen willow]

same error

[wet coral]

no, it's an int

[versed fern]

I use embed.color as a value for the modal, so users see the previous color code. It would be better to allow them the enter hex codes as well. How would I do that?

[versed fern]

For me it returned something like #fb6628 or whatever

Seems like a hex code to me

[wet coral]

oh really?

discord.Embed().color should return an int afaik...

[versed fern]

But I wasn’t sure if it’s hex or rgb so I figured I might just ask

[full basin]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/data_classes.html#discord.Colour

You can also get the rbg

[wet coral]

ah actually it returns a Colour object. And if you do str(Colour()), you get a hex string

[versed fern]

Oh thank ya

[queen willow]

I did that but It gave the same error, if you need the code, it's here : https://sourceb.in/rLZoxlzpJX

[wet coral]

you should be able to use it like an int though

[versed fern]

So Color.value is rgb?

It said raw int in the docs

[wet coral]

Colour().to_rgb()

[versed fern]

Ok thx

[wet coral]

what is your .env file called?

[versed fern]

And hash would be hex code right?

[wet coral]

hash is something completeley different xD

[versed fern]

Oh oke haha

[wet coral]

str(Colour()) is hex

[versed fern]

Color codes are confusing af

[wet coral]

and int(Colour()) is int

[versed fern]

RGB is prob the most user friendly right?

Actually hex might be better

[wet coral]

I find hex is the most user friendly
but rgb is ok too

[fervent cradle]

u can do discord.Colour.red() or green() or whatever too thats the easiest

[versed fern]

Lacks customizablility tho

[fervent cradle]

if u really want to u can just do .random() always a random colour

[queen willow]

example.env

[wet coral]

ok, call it just .env and it should work.
if you want to call it example.env you have to load it using dotenv.load_dotenv("example.env")
And please use google more often 🙂

[queen willow]

ah that, I forgot, you already told me to do so

It worked, thank you very very much ❤️

you too The Silly Squid

[wet coral]

you're welcome. And remember: Use google more often xD

[fervent cradle]

one more question since they're blocking it blocks other users from using commands tho no?

[wet coral]

Well, for the millisecond it takes to compute the function, yes, but not really though. The bot will get the request but may delay it because of the function. At least that's my understanding of it. But making the function asyncronous by simply putting an async before it, wouldn't change anything about it.

[fervent cradle]

ah so theres nothing i can do about it

[wet coral]

nothing you can do could improve it significantly imho xD
But even if you could, it wouldn't make any noticeable difference

[fervent cradle]

ah okay

def match_search_places(place, coins = 0, item = "Nothing"):

        case '...':
            if random.random() < 0.5:
                if random.random() > 0.5:``` is there a more efficient way of doing this deciding if u get an item or a coin, or just dont get anything

[proud mason]

Well there is an esoteric way

.tag asyncinit

[winter condor]

Add this to you class to allow async init-

    async def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        obj = super().__new__(cls)
        await obj.__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        return obj

[proud mason]

Just copy paste that into your class

Then make your init function async

And do await MyClass(...)

That's all

[wet coral]

oh wow.
If only I had known this earlier xD

[fervent cradle]

why?

[prisma flicker]

You should use buttons instead for reaction roles

[fervent cradle]

they are complex

easier to use reactions

[prisma flicker]

They're really not that complicated, and they solve a lot of problems you'll run into with reactions

[versed fern]

How do I remove the author of an embed? Tried the following:

user_embed.set_author(name=None, icon_url=None)

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embeds.0.author.icon_url: Not a well formed URL.

[versed fern]

You should use discord onboarding instead of reaction roles

[prisma flicker]

is discord onboarding GA now?

[versed fern]

should be

lemme see

If I intereprett https://rollouts.advaith.io/ correctly it is

[prisma flicker]

nice

[prisma flicker]

why did you cross this out though

[versed fern]

Cause it wasn't the answer they were looking for

Is it even possible set the author to None after it was set?

[prisma flicker]

is there a different method to remove the author?

[versed fern]

nope

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/data_classes.html#discord.Embed.remove_author

[versed fern]

where in hell did that come from

[silver moat]

docs

[versed fern]

I swear I read through all a the methods

[silver moat]

ig not

[versed fern]

Sorry for bothering you, no idea how I didn't see this

[topaz meteor]

how do i create the different type of text in an embed

[young bone]

with ` and *

test test

test

[silver moat]

the boxes are fields

[topaz meteor]

so in the field it would be like name = "*text: *"

just add the *, `

[silver moat]

Example:
`hi` is hi
*hi* is hi
**hi** is hi
__hi__ is hi

[topaz meteor]

👍

[warm tendon]

[winged ravine]

I have a custom bot class with some additional attributes assigned to it, However all the classes from the discord library that reference the bot (E.g. AutocompleteContext.bot) type hint the bot reference as discord.Bot rather than my custom class which means that type-checkers like mypy or Pycharm warn that the additional custom attributes do not exist on the discord.Bot class. How do I fix this without using # type: ignore?

[proud mason]

hmm ig there could be a fix by making these classes inherit from typing.Generic

🤔

[winged ravine]

my bot class or pycord's?

[proud mason]

pycords

[winged ravine]

oof, that sounds like a "deal with it until it gets fixed" kinda thing

[proud mason]

as of now, you could make subclasses for each of such classes and type hint bot as your bot class? bad solution ofc

and then use these subclasses for typehinting everywhere

[winged ravine]

would I just need to override the typehints in the __init__() method's arguments and the assignment to instance variables?

[proud mason]

you might not even need that

just simply

class SomeClass(...):
  bot: MyBotClass

not tested ofc

[true panther]

I don't understand how to initialize a cog with bridge commands. I get

Extension 'cogs.badwords' raised an error: TypeError: issubclass() arg 1 must be a class

[proud mason]

full error please?

see this btw https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/bridge#using-bridge-commands-in-a-cog

[true panther]

That's it unless you want a full stack trace.

[true panther]

Yes, I've seen that. I have similar code, the only difference is that it's more complex and uses bridge_group :P

[silver moat]

code would be helpful

[proud mason]

yes you can use bridge groups too. smth like this

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

    @bridge.bridge_group()
    @bridge.map_to("hi") # not sure if this is required
    async def hello(self, ctx):
        await ctx.respond("Hello!")

    @hello.command()
    async def bye(self, ctx):
        await ctx.respond("Bye!")

[proud mason]

yeah traceback would be good

[true panther]

Yeah, I know. That's why I'm confused why it doesn't work.

The decorators take the same args as far as I understand? name help alieses etc?

[proud mason]

yes. the args are just passed into the decorators for slash and prefix cmds

[true panther]

[silver moat]

        self, ctx: Context, user: Member, lives: Optional[int] = 3, *, words: List[str]
``` probably this line

[proud mason]

yeah i dont think you can use Optional or List

you will need to use discord.Option

also, avoid this

[silver moat]

you need it for text-based commands

[proud mason]

yea but it might break the slash variant

discord.Option should handle it imo

[true panther]

Both worked on text-based commands and are used in converters in examples in docs

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[proud mason]

oh well

ig its fine

[silver moat]

slash commands are like duct-taped

[true panther]

Okay, List is a no-no then. Thank you for assistance!

[proud mason]

||many parts of this library are||

sometimes i do like dpy's approach of using typing instead of discord.Option

but then it proceededs to use docstrings n stuff to get the description etc...

[true panther]

Yee, a lot of it feels junky, but then again, it is supposed to work with Discord

Oh, one more question: do I need to sync slash commands somehow? I can't find anything like that in the docs but I remember there was something like that in discord.py

[grizzled sentinel]

Pycord does it automaticaly unless you are doing things out of the ordinary. Then it is bot.sync_commands()

[true panther]

How long does it for them to register more-less?

[grizzled sentinel]

guild commands <30 secs Global commands <5 min but normally less then 1 min.

[naive remnant]

how can i use pycord in replit

[round rivet]

thou shalt not use replit

[naive remnant]

what?

[grizzled sentinel]

?tag replit

[grizzled sentinel]

But basically this too. Replit should only be used as a last resort.

[naive remnant]

i'm using it to host bots

[grizzled sentinel]

The first section in the link explains why this is a bad idea. But if its your only options I guess it will have to work

[naive remnant]

is there another choice

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)?

Note: you should be able to answer "yes" to all of these queries.

[grizzled sentinel]

It should be all the same stuff minus a few

[silver moat]

• Do you still have libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py)?
should be no

[true panther]

I'm guessing there's different method to loading/unloading cogs with bridge commands? Using bot.load_extension or bot.unload_extension I get Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'BridgeCommandGroup' object has no attribute 'name'

[wary rover]

Hey
I'm surprised to have this error, do you have any ideas?

discord.Bot(intents=intents, command_prefix=os.environ.get('PREFIX'), case_insensitive=True)
^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

Has anything changed?

[young bone]

Do you have anything else than py-cord installed? also discord.Bot doesn't have a prefix

[fervent cradle]

why is my slash command not showing up when i put /? it doesnt have errors and should clearly work

[wary rover]

No, it works on a docker, which is all the more strange.

[young bone]

refresh discord with ctrl + r

[fervent cradle]

i did and it still doesnt show up

[young bone]

you installed 100% something else that is not working with py-cord.

[fervent cradle]

i just deleted all my pip installs and installed py-cord again

it still isnt working idk why

[young bone]

do you use discord.Bot or commands.Bot?

[fervent cradle]

non

[wary rover]

wavelink install discord.py???

[young bone]

yes

[fervent cradle]

i opened a thread

[fervent cradle]

you shouldnt have discord.py installed

only py-cord

[wary rover]

But how did the Russian who coded this thing get pycord to work with wavelink???

1 + 1 = 4

Its code works, it should have been put on python 3.10. I don't understand, he broke the matrix

[plucky citrus]

async def play(ctx, search: str):
  vc = ctx.voice_client # define our voice client

  if not vc: # check if the bot is not in a voice channel
    vc = await ctx.author.voice.channel.connect(cls=wavelink.Player) # connect to the voice channel

  if ctx.author.voice.channel.id != vc.channel.id: # check if the bot is not in the voice channel
    return await ctx.respond("You must be in the same voice channel as the bot.") # return an error message

  song = await wavelink.YouTubeTrack.search(query=search, return_first=True) # search for the song

  if not song: # check if the song is not found
    return await ctx.respond("No song found.") # return an error message

  await vc.play(song) # play the song
  await ctx.respond(f"Now playing: `{vc.source.title}`") # return a message```
how fix when it just plays the song without being in a vc lol. I had to make a command just to make it join

[young bone]

youtube is against the Tos and can get your bot banned

[plucky citrus]

dont care

[young bone]

lol

[plucky citrus]

its in pycord docs aswell

the bot is in 1 singular server

[young bone]

How did you install wavelink?

[plucky citrus]

by installing it?

[young bone]

with pip?

wavelink is installing discord.py

[fervent cradle]

bro where did you get that code from

[plucky citrus]

"pip install wavelink"

isnt that how you normally install things in python

Yes

And that installs discord.py as a dependency

That's what zerv is saying
