How to Change Catch Button Duration

By default, the catch button might disappear too quickly or stay too long. You can easily adjust this timeout duration by modifying a single line of code.

Step 1: Locate the File

Navigate to the following file in your BallsDex source code:

ballsdex/packages/countryballs/countryball.py

Step 2: Find the Class

Search for the class definition:

class BallSpawnView(View):

Step 3: Modify the Timeout

Scroll down to the __init__ method. Look for the line super().__init__() and change it to specify a timeout (in seconds).

def __init__(self, bot: "BallsDexBot", model: Ball):
    super().__init__()  # DEFAULT TIMEOUT
    self.bot = bot

def __init__(self, bot: "BallsDexBot", model: Ball):
    super().__init__(timeout=180)  # CHANGED TO 180 SECONDS
    self.bot = bot

Note: You can change 180 to any number of seconds you prefer.
