[NEW] Slash Commands in Less than 10 Minutes Using Discord.PY

[@ZonkedOutTCM]

first tutorial that actually worked in the end. i tried dozens of tutorials because i want the badge but didnt want to go the sketchy route and wanted to try to learn something while doing it. worked like a charm, and i ended up refreshing my memory of programming things as well , thanks! was fun!

[@daephx]

Don't you ever call 'hello, world' a cliche. I will use that as a placeholder until the day I die!

[@themightykhan3720]

I get the print message that my commands are syncing, however nothing shows up on my server

[@fahkyew7776]

I printed the results of bot.tree.sync() and saw that both the commands I coded are, in fact, in the command tree, but when I type / in my test server, the slash commands I made don't appear. Any idea what might have gone wrong?

[@MoneyThynker]

same error

[@DylanJava]

For me I hit COMMAND & R (CTRL & R on Windows and Linux) to reload my discord.

[@fahkyew7776]

I should have thought to update this. If anyone has the same problem I had, all you need to do is restart Discord. For whatever reason, new slash commands don't appear until you restart the application.

[@averageperson341]

I copied exactly no errors but says 0 command(s) connected

[@agnibhapal]

it works :D for the second time, first time it worked and then I forgot about this channel I did subscribe but I forgot the channel name, now I will remember it.

[@mirzakurtovic5878]

Great tutorial! I have been struggling to understand the documentation so this really helped a lot. Just one question if you know, how do you make a parameter optional? Is there a flag for it or do you have to manually code the logic?

[@rhenzduyag5868]

kinda late but this might help you prompt: str=None put this on the method

[@lukas5238]

Thanks Man now i can apply for the Developer Badge and create as many commands as i want for free. Keep it up

[@clvrk8047]

Good job dude, just jumping back into coding and was a bit rusty. Finally got around to updating my bot thanks to your video. Keep it up.

[@Cacetinho_]

Thanks bro, nice tutorial! What theme do you use?

[@glowstik]

monakai julia

[@mcdondagd]

how can I add a description to the command, like the ones below the command name when you go to slash commands. Also the ephemeral thing is what makes it only appear to the person who ran the command right EDIT: NVM I found it, and to anyone wondering the same thing, it's quite simple. you just change @bot.tree.command(name="[your command]") to @bot.tree.command(name="[your command]", description ="[whatever description you want]")

[@ashrithathmaram7631]

I'm getting "Attribute error: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'tree'

[@mad3567]

it's either something wrong with the discord.ext library, or how you used "commands.Bot" (see line 6 from the video) I couldn't replicate the problem, so if you send more info that'd help

[@swodaw1247]

@@mad3567 same thing happened to me, I replicated everything from the video.

[@biplabchakraborty5014]

Use tree =commands.app_command(bot)

[@flexnajnwsps]

import the tree by in the on_ready thing put await bot.tree.sync()

[@spinierkm4279]

the / commands are saying its synced but the commands arent showing up when i type / any idea why?

[@moeddl]

You have to give the roles on your Server Permissions. Go into your Settings of the Server and klick onto integrations and then onto your bot. There you will see your commands. You can add some roles there

[@ProgrammerPenguin]

how does the ide tells you error as you're typing? like when you typed try: it said it must have an exception. is it a vscode extension or are you even using vscode?🤣

[@M.Markovkin]

Hey bro, thanks for this tutorial, but I need to enable the command only for one of my servers. How can I do it? How do I call a snowflake? Here's the string from the docs: guild (Optional[Snowflake]) - The guild to add the command to. If not given or None then it becomes a global command instead. I can't understand how to call a snowflake.

[@badelbonillasimon4381]

thx u buddy this helped me to finish my bot. You teaches really good

[@Comfy.]

Thank you so much bro this is an amazing tutorial! I've been trying to find videos that could help me and I finally found the one! You are such a talented programmer! Your tutorial was amazing and now my bot works now! Keep up the great work! Again, Thank you so much again!!!

[@realferdimeiert]

Thank you for this tutorial, I had lots of problems with other videos but this one really helped.

[@Izarden]

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'tree'....

[@nargamer0]

Try replace it to bot

[@BeefOSRS]

This was really short and to the point. Well done. Maybe include a paste bin of the example code for reference in the description

[@NullableIsLive]

it gives me this error:Client does not have an application_id set. Either the function was called before on_ready was called or application_id was not passed to the Client constructor

[@Jonarella]

I loved this tutorial... However "Hello World" shall never die lmaooo

[@immortalsun]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you! Are you also using Copilot?

[@glowstik]

Yeah, thats how I got the code completion!

[@dragonalley6443]

hey quick question what if i want one of the options to open a drop down menu of options they can select?

[@RVZWN]

It doesn t work for me, what version of discord or python do you need, youu need nextcord and not discord? Or Pycord? 0_o?

[@glowstik]

it requires discord.py 2.0

[@RVZWN]

@@glowstik as soon as I wrote this I made it work on PyCharm... however I'm using a hosting platfom where my files are stored in there, but it doesn t work because now I see that my discord.py is v1.7.3... so that was the problem.. I want to change it but I don t know how..

[@luucc_ss]

what code editor do you use? it looks amazing!

[@glowstik]

Visual Studio Code and I've got the Julia Monakai Vibrant theme

[@pitachu_s]

Is it possible to build the command tree to sync using cogs ? That would be great to update commands with a list based arguments input.

[@CYKLER]

it says "discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "hello" is not found and the hello command does not work

[@SirRiceBurger]

Thanks i was looking for a tutorial on this for so long and it finally helped.

[@departition1169]

Tysm, may I ask what compiler that you are using? It looks super nice

[@glowstik]

I'm using visual studio code as the editor and the Sublime Monakai by Aryan Ahire theme

[@departition1169]

@@glowstik tysm I didn't know dpy supported slash commands till somebody told me on discord. Glad I know how to add slash commands instead doing the old way

[@PGCTalha]

is it possible to still use embeds when using the slash commands, like you can with ctx?

[@glowstik]

yep, it works the same way also!

[@FTYRL]

what app do u use for the prediction and that? is it vs code, is it pycharm like what is it

[@glowstik]

i use github copilot (which is paid) although there is tabnine which is free

[@welshtony1]

This actually worked but how do I get it to work with current commands in Cogs? Can't seem to get them to work

[@coolgammathecat5693]

unfortunately this didnt work for me because the commands dont show up

[@kenezur]

How do you connect this to the bot? Btw its really useful.

[@glowstik]

I just put in my bot token which I stored in another variable so it cant be stolen

[@jc5947]

thanks for the tutorial!! Thank you very much for uploading this video ;)

[@gavinthecrafter]

Thank you for this tutorial! Do you know which intents this bot requires? I can't get the bot to work and I don't want to set all intents as that's very dangerous

[@glowstik]

yeah for slash commands alone you dpnt need any

amazing tutorial, keep up the work bro

[@PogoDigitalism]

yo ty for this vid, littl equestion, how do i add descriptions to the commands and make them optional/required?

[@glowstik]

you can add a required=True to make it required and you can add command descriptions in the decorator.

[@republicgamer6998]

Thanks for your help, really helped me here I almost gonna scrap my code and move to pycord but any ideas about the cogs?

[@glowstik]

its pretty much the same thing, you can also just check their examples at github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

[@chrissam6026]

What program are you using for this

[@realKarlHealy]

help pls, I got an error: ImportError: cannot import name 'app_commands' from 'discord'

[@twguy69]

Thanks. Exactly what I needed.

[@samarthd.n.2314]

But how to categorize or create a sperate help command for the slash commands?

[@svendiamond]

how did your slash commands work when you put an exclamation point as your command prefix?

[@glowstik]

i'm not using bot.command() and so I can use whatever prefix I want and it will still not work.

[@gustavolondono8691]

Really great tutorial! Thank you very much!

[@d3nt391]

How would you access the context (ctx) in order to get things like discord attachments in a message? Thanks!

[@glowstik]

unfortunately, slash commands use interactions and not ctx so you would have to find work arounds to getting what you need through interactions.

[@kibaofficial6332]

do you have also a video to remove a command again? i made a lot of bullshit yesterday in my code and want to remove some commands but i know that i have to do more then just delete them from the code

[@glowstik]

They should remove them selves if you delete it from the code, you can also manually delete it from the server settings

[@kibaofficial6332]

@@glowstik oh sure true becaus when in start the bot the commands get new synced thanks man ^^'

[@eweeeer]

how to do it but instead of sending a message, it sends out the user avatar ?

[@CrunchySpon]

I need help with smth. I wanna make a command that is a reminder, so it has to be responded to twice (1 time to confirm the reminder and the other one to actually remind the person.) but when it gets to the 2nd response it gives me the error: "InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before". Is there any way to fix this?

[@BuddyWinteOfficial]

Use channel = bot.get_channel(your channel id) and then use channel.send to send a second message.

[@studiotutorial]

instead of using send_message again, use interaction.channel.send() and just mention
