class title_input_modal(Modal): def __init__(self): super().__init__("Audio Title Input") self.add_item(InputText(label = "Audio Title", style = discord.InputTextStyle.short)) async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction): val = self.children[0].value await interaction.response.send_message(val)
How can I make a method and store the value of the response? If I try accessing title_input_modal.children[0]
from another cog’s class method, this error pops up:-
Ignoring exception in view <View timeout=180.0 children=1> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Play' emoji=<PartialEmoji animated=False name='▶️' id=None> row=None>: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:UsersChinmay KrishnaAppDataLocalPackagesPythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0LocalCachelocal-packagesPython310site-packagesdiscorduiview.py", line 371, in _scheduled_task await item.callback(interaction) File "d:Programmingpythonintellijintellij_pythonAxC-777-Musicno_upload.py", line 137, in play_button_callback print(title_input_modal.children[0].value) AttributeError: type object 'title_input_modal' has no attribute 'children' Ignoring exception in view <View timeout=180.0 children=1> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Play' emoji=<PartialEmoji animated=False name='▶️' id=None> row=None>: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:UsersChinmay KrishnaAppDataLocalPackagesPythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0LocalCachelocal-packagesPython310site-packagesdiscorduiview.py", line 371, in _scheduled_task await item.callback(interaction) File "d:Programmingpythonintellijintellij_pythonAxC-777-Musicno_upload.py", line 137, in play_button_callback print(title_input_modal.children[0].value) AttributeError: type object 'title_input_modal' has no attribute 'children'

You can store the value in your class as a property and access it once the modal has been dismissed. To do so you will have to modify your class like this.
class title_input_modal(Modal): def __init__(self): super().__init__("Audio Title Input") # self.val = None self.add_item(InputText(label = "Audio Title", style = discord.InputTextStyle.short)) async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction): self.val = self.children[0].value await interaction.response.send_message(val) self.stop()
Then from where you call your modal, you will have to initialise it like this so that you can then access its properties
title_modal = title_input_modal() await ...send_modal(title_modal) await title_modal.wait() print(title_modal.val)
Without the stop and wait methods, your bot won’t wait for the modal interaction to be over, so you won’t be able to access the value from the user.
