Understanding the TypeError in Your Pycord Timeout Command

If you've been working with Pycord to create Discord bot commands, you may have come across the frustrating TypeError: (300,600,900,1200) is not a callable object. This error pops up specifically when you attempt to set your command's autocomplete options incorrectly. In this post, we will explore the possible causes of this error and how to effectively fix it by implementing a suitable solution.

The Problem: What Causes the Error?

When defining a command in Pycord, it's essential that any autocomplete arguments are assigned a callable object. In your case, you attempted to directly assign a list of integers (your list_time values) to the autocomplete parameter of your command. This is where the error originates, as Pycord requires a function to handle the autocomplete suggestions instead of a static list.

Here’s a closer look at the error you received:

This indicates that your code is attempting to treat the tuple of integers as a callable object—obviously, this is not the intended use.

The Solution: Creating a Callable Function

To resolve the TypeError, you'll need to define a separate function that provides the options for autocomplete. This function will iterate over your list_time and return the potential time values as needed.

Step 1: Define the Autocomplete Function

Here’s how you can implement the function:

This function uses the provided ctx argument to access context information and then returns a list of time options from list_time.

Step 2: Update the Timeout Command

Now that you have the autocomplete function ready, you can redefine your timeout command to utilize this function for the autocomplete parameter:

Key Updates in the Command

The autocomplete parameter is now set to time_searcher, the function we defined.

Everything else in the command remains unchanged, ensuring that you can still send the embed messages and handle timeouts as intended.

Conclusion: Simplifying Autocomplete With Functions

By following the steps above, you can eliminate the TypeError and enhance the functionality of your Discord bot's timeout command. Utilizing callable functions for autocomplete not only resolves the issue but also paves the way for future expansions, should you wish to add more options or complex logic in selecting time values.

Make sure to test the command after making these changes to confirm everything works as expected. Happy coding!
