The Friendly Café

nice

@Ann Thanks for upvoting! I just need @Vic to upvote it and then my bot'll have enough rep to chat here :)

@Ann I've just added you as one of the room owners :)

@TechExpertWizard I'm sorry, but please don't make assumptions :)

2:14 AM

@Ann Seems like there's already been 2 upvotes. Now I can run my bot :)

@The I'll add you as a room owner if you admit that I am the King of Shadow's Den and this Den as well ;D

@Ann It sure is hard trying to suggest edits to work your way to 20 rep :( It's unfortunate you didn't know that you were going to make a chatbot that needed 20 rep, and you posted a Winter Bash hat answer there before you knew you were going to make a chatbot :(

4:36 AM

@VictorVosMottor I tried this code, but it gave me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/wil/Desktop/chatbot.py", line 7, in <module>
    room.join()
  File "C:\Users\wil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\chatexchange\rooms.py", line 51, in join
    return self._client._join_room(self.id)
  File "C:\Users\wil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\chatexchange\client.py", line 279, in _join_room
    self._br.join_room(room_id)
  File "C:\Users\wil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\chatexchange\browser.py", line 246, in join_room

10:50 AM

@AnnZen It'e probably because of permissions of room. Make sure that your bot account has enough rep and the room is opened ;)

12:54 PM

@Ann Is your bot working now?

no, I still have the error...

@Ann Could you please give us (me and @Vic) your bot's code? Thanks!

from chatexchange.client import Client
email = "secret stuff"
password = "secret stuff"
se_chat = Client("stackexchange.com")
se_chat.login(email, password)
room = se_chat.get_room('1542')
room.join()
room.send_message('hi guys!')
room.leave()

@Ann You need to change stackexchange.com to meta.stackexchange.com to make it work 'cause this room is on MSE chat, not SE chat. Did you remember @Vic said that room 1542 was already closed on SE chat?

oh, let me try

1:00 PM

hi guys!

@Ann That's great! Your bot's working!

^

@Ann Congrats :)

Thanks.

Can you tell me how to detect messages?

1:22 PM

from chatexchange.client import Client
email = "email@email.com"
password = "**************"
se_chat = Client("stackexchange.com")
se_chat.login(email, password)
def on_event(event, _):
    msg = event.message.content_source
    if msg == 'say hi':
        room.send_message('Hi!')
room = se_chat.get_room('number')
room.join()
room.send_message('hi guys!')
while True:
    pass

@VictorVosMottor What's the _ in the on_event function?

1:42 PM

I dunno ;D

I didn't use it

I have

from chatexchange.client import Client
email = "********"
password = "********"
se_chat = Client("meta.stackexchange.com")
se_chat.login(email, password)
room = se_chat.get_room('1542')
room.join()

def on_event(event, _):
msg = event.message.content_source
if msg == 'say hi':
room.send_message('Hi!')
room = se_chat.get_room('number')
room.join()
room.send_message('hi guys!')
while True:
pass

room.leave()

But it returns

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/wil/Desktop/chatbot.py", line 14, in <module>
    room.join()
  File "C:\Users\wil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\chatexchange\rooms.py", line 51, in join
    return self._client._join_room(self.id)
  File "C:\Users\wil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\chatexchange\client.py", line 279, in _join_room
    self._br.join_room(room_id)
  File "C:\Users\wil\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\chatexchange\browser.py", line 244, in join_room

Do you know what went wrong? Thanks!

change number to id ;D

this room is 1542

see url

@ann

Oh. Do you know how to call the on_event function?

what do you mean?

;)

@ann

from chatexchange.client import Client
email = "email@email.com"
password = "**************"
se_chat = Client("stackexchange.com")
se_chat.login(email, password)
def on_event(event, _):
    msg = event.message.content_source
    if msg == 'say hi':
        room.send_message('Hi!')
room = se_chat.get_room('1542')
room.join()
room.send_message('hi guys!')
while True:
    pass

Well, the function is defined, but nowhere is it called.

1:52 PM

just run this code and you will see ^

ah stop

I'm sorry

you need to do it this way:

from chatexchange.client import Client
email = "email@email.com"
password = "**************"
se_chat = Client("stackexchange.com")
se_chat.login(email, password)
def on_event(event, _):
    msg = event.message.content_source
    if msg == 'say hi':
        room.send_message('Hi!')
room = se_chat.get_room('1542')
room.join()
room.send_message('hi guys!')
room.watch_socket(on_event)
while True:
    pass

like this ^

@Ann

hi guys!

say hi

errrrrrrr

I get AttributeError: 'UserEntered' object has no attribute 'message'

ah I see

I had the same

Here's how to fix

from chatexchange.client import Client
email = "email@email.com"
password = "**************"
se_chat = Client("stackexchange.com")
se_chat.login(email, password)
def on_event(event, _):
    try:
        msg = event.message.content_source
        if msg == 'say hi':
            room.send_message('Hi!')
    except:
        pass
room = se_chat.get_room('1542')
room.join()
room.send_message('hi guys!')
room.watch_socket(on_event)
while True:
    pass

@ann

There's two ways to fix it

this one ^

and using events

@ann

hi guys!

1:56 PM

say hi

hi

Hi!

works

I can't say hi again...

hi

now I can

hi

say hi

1:57 PM

Hi!

it works with "say hi"

it is hardcoded in code

> if msg == 'say hi':
room.send_message('Hi!')

@ann

hi

@AnnZen what are you trying to do? ;)

Testing to see if I get a response every time.

hi

@AnnZen It responses to "say hi" not to just hi

see

say hi

2:00 PM

Hi!

hi guys!

Hi!

hi

Hi!

@ann yeah ;D

The bot responded to its one hi.

Hi!

2:01 PM

I mean own

show me your code

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Hi!

please

I know what caused it, it was intentional :)

2:02 PM

ah startswith I guess ;)

Now if only the bandaid didn't have to be there...

what do you mean?

The try - except

ah yeah

You can do it another way

Using events

Gimme a minute I'll show it

This seems a bit strange.

This bot's great!

@Vic This is how you play with my chatbot. I might add a tea command later this afternoon, but for now, this is already great :) However, unfortunately, I need to stop the Python script 'cause I need to restart my computer for updates :( I'll run the bot once the updates finish. Thank you for your patience.

7:37 PM

@VictorVosMottor Can you tell me how to detect different users with the bot? I'd also like a link to the tutorial you mention. Thanks :)

7:51 PM

@Vic Sorry, I stopped the bot at that time, I'm going to bring it back in now.

in Shadow's Den, 1 min ago, by Tech Expert Wizard

@Ann It ain't really a tutorial, it's just basically a few chat messages in Discord where he taught me how to create an SE chatbot, and he's actually taught you more than that tutorial, which was only sort of a tutorial ;D

Hello! I'm Tech BOT, and my owner is Tech Expert Wizard.

@Ann How 'bout bringin' your bot in as well? That'd be great :)

tb coffee

Brewing a cup of cappucino coffee.
