[patent epoch]

well it doesn't really say where to put stuff
does it matter where in my index.js I put client.cooldowns = new Collection();
I put it here:

client.cooldowns = new Collection();
client.commands = new Collection();```

[steel trail]

That should not give you the error you got. Show the full error with stacktrace please

[crimson gale]

that is entirely different from what you said

[patent epoch]

yeah I removed the code, just re-added it, got this error earlier too, then changed some things and got the other error

[crimson gale]

can you please show your code? you clearly don't have what the guide has and guessing around this makes little sense

[patent epoch]

https://codeshare.io/5D3VLO

and here is the index file if u need it: https://codeshare.io/2E3prK

[steel trail]

You don't import Collection so yes, it indeed won't be defined

[patent epoch]

well the guide doesn't mention anything like that - unless I missed it?

[steel trail]

The guide is a guide. You should know the language and how to import stuff yourself

It's not a "turn off your brain and do copy&paste"

[patent epoch]

I haven't worked with JS in years, it's all very rusty

also I assumed discord.js would import it somewhere

[steel trail]

sure, it does. But if you use a class in your code you need to import that class in your code

[patent epoch]

const { Client, Collection, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
is this not importing Collection?

[steel trail]

It is, in your index.js file. But you also use it in your command file, so need to import it there too

[patent epoch]

ah okaj

so simple 🙂

I thought if it was imported in the main file it would also import in other files - like I said, my JS is very rusty

Thx for the help! Really appreciate it! (day 2 of learning how discord bots work)

[warm charm]

jst read guide 💀

[subtle girder]

how to check whether a voice channel exists?

[velvet cipher]

From what? An ID? A name?

[subtle girder]

VoiceBasedChannel, just prevent user delete it

so I can check using channel id?

[tiny condor]

Prevent a user from deleting it or checking it?

[subtle girder]

ah I mean, check it to know does the channel is deleted

I'm creating a "dynamic voice" feature
when member joins a specific voice channel, the bot creates a new voice channel and move the member to the channel.
However, I got Unknown Channel error when running await newState.setChannel(channel);
so I think data.channel(VoiceBasedChannel) is deleted

[snow onyx]

show the code around that setChannel and show how channel is defined

I assume you are creating the channel beforehand? did you wait for that request to complete?

[subtle girder]

const data = client.dvoice.find(d => d.owner === member.id);

if (data) {
    channel = data.channel || newChannel;
} else {
    channel = await guild.channels.create({
        name: format.replace("{user}", member.user.username),
        type: ChannelType.GuildVoice,
        parent: newChannel.parent,
        permissionOverwrites: [
            {
                id: member.id,
                allow: [PermissionFlagsBits.Connect, PermissionFlagsBits.Speak, PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel, PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels],
            },
            {
                id: client.user.id,
                allow: [PermissionFlagsBits.Connect, PermissionFlagsBits.Speak, PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel, PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels],
            },
        ],
    });
};

await newState.setChannel(channel);

if (!data) client.dvoice.set(channel.id, {
    owner: member.id,
    channel: channel
});

the original code should be this
I'm also trying to fix

[snow onyx]

So which case should it be in now?
use an existing channel or a new one

if you do channel.fetch() it should throw an error if the channel was deleted

[subtle girder]

only existing channel may not a voice channel, but weird

[ripe topaz]

I have a weird bug with this code

if (!member.voice.channelId) {
    const noVc = new EmbedBuilder().setColor(client.options.embedColor).setDescription(`Trebuie să fi într-un canal de voce pentru a utiliza această comandă.`);

    return await interaction.reply({ embeds: [noVc], ephemeral: true });
  }

This is a check for a command that requires members to be in a vc to use, but sometimes the check fails even if the user is in a vc

[steel trail]

Do you have GuildVoiceStates Intent and don't limit the voice state cache?

And do you have a bot user in the guild the command is ran in?

[ripe topaz]

I don't have voice states intent, and idk what's the voice state cache
and yes the bot user is in the guild

how come sometimes the check passes even without the intent tho?

[steel trail]

Probably because your bot was the one moving them, so it has the voice state cached

[subtle girder]

when my bot is playing audio resources, the sound may vary in speed or be choppy.

[ripe topaz]

wdym moving them

the users? nope

[last ether]

How can I detect when a message is a poll?

The message type is 0 (default), poll property is null, and flags bitfield is 0

[mint kettle]

hello! any chance someone around familiar with recording bots? I got this #1453448220708700160 issue stuck on it with no clear path 😅

[polar karma]

Do you have the message content intent enabled?

[last ether]

No, just saw I need it to get the poll property 😅

That's a shame we can't know if a message is a poll (even without seeing the poll content)

[polar karma]

Most restrictions like that revolve around user privacy. Might help you to understand some of their decisions

[last ether]

Yeah I guess so, thanks for your help 😄

[vestal sun]

i assume message length is also behind the intent or is it accessible ?

[wary coral]

The intent is needed to see any details about the content of the message

[polar karma]

Without the intent, I believe message.content is an empty string ""

[toxic moat]

I just made a discord music bot that downloads the music locally then streams to my server

i couldnt get native ffmpeg url streaming to play through discord for the life of me

using opus yes

When you clean all your old code bases 💀

[topaz bluff]

Hey. This channel is for asking for help with the Discord.js package... Let's keep it clear of general conversation and use #1081585952654360687 or #archive-offtopic to talk about your projects

[toxic moat]

Ahh wasnt on my channel list blame that on whoever made the server

[rose tangle]

the channel name should be self explanatory

it isn't about djs, it isn't about getting help, and isn't about the v14 version

[toxic moat]

Umm its very much about Discord JS my first message was about seting up a music bot, Second of all Your general rooms are not available to users upon joining

the fact you choose to argue instead of looking into the problem really shows what type of staff i just stumbled upon

[toxic moat]

Never mind youre not even staff remind me why you replied

[rose tangle]

because checking channel names is useful to figure out what they're for

[toxic moat]

Once again general is not open upon joing the server. Your point is invalid

[rose tangle]

I'm not trying to argue, just making the point that you can check beforehand what a channel is for

[toxic moat]

I read very clearly and searched for the General room

i figured support would be best because people would see i know what im doing and then maybe ask me for help

I really am not going to take your point especially when youre most likely 12 arguin an invalid point

[dense jackal]

its in id:browse

[toxic moat]

Yea no one uses those dawg

[toxic moat]

infact i cant even see that naturally i had to click your tag

[dense jackal]

id:customize in your channel list at the top and then “All Channels”

its the same, but anyway

[toxic moat]

stop carrying the argument youre loading the help channel with this

[dense jackal]

that you don’t know how this messaging app works isn’t the problem of “whoever made this server”, you can only blame yourself

[toxic moat]

Except user experience is apart of development you did a whole lot there buddy

[tardy sable]

youre making a discord music bot and you dont even know how discord works. stop being disrespectful to others

[topaz bluff]

Guys... Stop... Drop it

[toxic moat]

I have yet to be disrespectful I started making conversation pointed out the general room is not avalible to users and you guys keep responding.... It speaks for itself yall

[toxic moat]

One hell of a community you got here just lost a 5 year dev

@fleet ridge @crimson gale good job at being mods 😄

[fleet ridge]

congratz

[topaz bluff]

How will we ever recover from the loss of "random dev #1476017"

[crimson gale]

wat

[tiny condor]

dudes gonna be real upset when he realises this is the best support for djs

[robust haven]

How can i do the Button up right

[topaz bluff]

A section component

[sharp ginkgo]

SectionBuilder#setButtonAccessory() discord.js@14.25.1
Sets the accessory of this section to a button.

Section
Sections represent text (one to three Text Display components) with an accessory. The accessory can either be an image (thumbnail) or button. If you do not want to send an accessory, use a Text Display component instead. You can use the SectionBuilder class to easily create a Section component:...

[tardy sable]

why is it sometimes it feels like an event gets fired twice (dupe)?

i got twice the same channeldelete event

[rose tangle]

how do you know you got it twice?

[tardy sable]

because i have a channel delete log and it got logged twice

[rose tangle]

couldn't it be possible that the message was sent twice by mistake?

or is there any other non message-related logic that also got executed twice

[tardy sable]

that wouldnt make sense. its just a very simple
client.on(Events.ChannelDelete, async (channel) => { });

[rose tangle]

it can happen, that's why there's the nonce option

[tardy sable]

oh okay

what does the nonce thing do and how should i implement it

[rose tangle]

I'm not sure what's the specifics of why it happens but I've seen it so it's something worth considering

discord lets you set a nonce, so if you send two message send requests with the same nonce, only one of them goes through

in djs you can provide the enforceNonce option and let it handle it for you

[sharp ginkgo]

ClientOptions#enforceNonce discord.js@14.25.1
The default value for enforceNonce
Default value: false

[tardy sable]

thanks. and then i shouldnt worry about accidental dupe events?

[rose tangle]

it's unrelated to events themselves, it just makes it so the same message request doesn't get "sent" twice

[tardy sable]

oh okay i see thanks will try out

[rose tangle]

if you have any other logic not related to messages that did get executed twice as well then it's worth considering a duplicate listener or something

but since it's just a duplicated message, it could be the nonce thing

[verbal plinth]

When I get a RateLimitError, what do limit, sublimitTimeout, and hash mean? Also, what does it mean when the limit is set to infinity?

Also, if you want to create a channel right now, it takes about 60 seconds for it to happen. Is Discord.js doing something there that causes a timeout?

[ripe topaz]

After i deferUpdate a modal submit interaction, how can I send the user an error message if need be?

 const modalData = await interaction.awaitModalSubmit({ time: 3 * 60 * 1000, filter: i => i.customId === 'lfg-modal' }).catch(err => `${err}`);

  if (typeof modalData === 'string') return handleErr(new Error('Modal submit timed out or errored: ' + modalData));

  await modalData.deferUpdate();

  const modalCountInput = modalData.fields.getTextInputValue('lfg-modal-count');

  const count = parseInt(modalCountInput);

  const invalidCount = new EmbedBuilder().setColor(client.options.embedColor).setDescription(`${modalCountInput} nu este un număr! Te rugăm să încerci din nou.`);

  if (isNaN(count) || count < 1) return await modalData.reply({ embeds: [invalidCount], ephemeral: true });

[tardy sable]

just as youd do with any other message

[ripe topaz]

with update or how

[tardy sable]

after deferupdate you cant update again its editReply then or use a followUp

[rose tangle]

that sounds like you're ratelimited and the request is being queued

[verbal plinth]

Shouldn't that disable the queued option?

[verbal plinth]

What can I do about it, since it's really stupid that everything is now happening 60 seconds late?

[rose tangle]

you can log it to make sure it's the correct endpoint, looks right though but still worth confirming

[rose tangle]

if you're ratelimited there's not much you can do

[verbal plinth]

But why are the channels created after 60 seconds if the request to put them in the queue is actually disabled?

[rose tangle]

like I said, log it to make sure you're checking the correct endpoint and method

[verbal plinth]

that is the right one

[rose tangle]

though even then, if you're ratelimited then making it not throw doesn't mean the channel will be created

can you show what it logged?

[ripe topaz]

Does GuildMember#displayAvatarURL return anything for users with the default discord icon?

[verbal plinth]

await guild.channels.create({}).catch(async (e) => {
  if (error.name === "RateLimitError" || error instanceof RateLimitError) {
    console.log(e)              
  }
})

[tardy sable]

yes displayAvatarURL always fallback

[rose tangle]

what causes that log?

like where are you logging that

[verbal plinth]

In the line console.log(e), that's where the log goes.

[rose tangle]

so you say it throws the ratelimit error, and it still creates the channel regardless after 60s?

[verbal plinth]

yeah

[steel trail]

This whole line makes no sense. e is not error, that uses some completely unrelated variable for the condition

Also that log is not what a console.log of a RateLimitError would look like

[verbal plinth]

He just wanted to know where the error came from. It comes from this line. I also know that the error is a different one.

const message = Rate limit error on creating channel\n\n- GuildID: ${guild.id}\n- HostID: ${galaxyClient.config.bot.hostID}\n- ClusterID: ${galaxyClient.clusterID}\n- RetryAfter: ${error.retryAfter / 1000}s\n- Limit: ${error.limit}\n-Reset in: ${error.timeToReset / 1000}s

[steel trail]

So the log does not actually come from the console.log does it? Please show the actual code causing that log

[verbal plinth]

The log from the screenshot is exactly the message.

so

await guild.channels.create({}).catch(async (error) => {
            if (error.name === "RateLimitError" || error instanceof RateLimitError) {
                const message = `Rate limit error on creating channel\n\n- GuildID: ${guild.id}\n- HostID: ${galaxyClient.config.bot.hostID}\n- ClusterID: ${galaxyClient.clusterID}\n- RetryAfter: ${error.retryAfter / 1000}s\n- Limit: ${error.limit}\n-Reset in: ${error.timeToReset / 1000}s`
                
                logError(message)
            }
        })

[steel trail]

Sounds to me like you might have another instance running somewhere that doesn't have that rejectOnRatelimit setting yet

So one is aborted while the other queues the request

[verbal plinth]

No, we don't have any other instances running.

[steel trail]

How did you determine that to be the case?

[verbal plinth]

We only have new Client({}) once in the code, and that's where we added rejectOnRatelimit.

[steel trail]

Other instance could mean several things here:

• a full second process running same/similar code with full cluster and sharding
• a second cluster running the same shard
• a single shard still running which lost its parent process
• a second event listener registered to the same event
• another function being called upon the event that also does channels.create(...)

Especially the first one would explain your issue (old process running an older version of your code)

Also do you use an extended Client class or is it barebones discord.js?

[verbal plinth]

I use extends Client and specify the ClientOptions in the constructor.

[loud quartz]

Is that the only thing that extended class does?

[verbal plinth]

How can I check and exclude all shard/cluster cases?

[steel trail]

Stop your instance you are running, do the thing that should create a channel, check if channel gets created => another process running somewhere

If you do have a command or event that doesn't lead to something affected by strict ratelimits do that and check it you get two responses

listen to the response event of REST and find out if and when you receive the response for the channel creation

[verbal plinth]

It's not running twice. We've also completely restarted, and the problem still persists.

[steel trail]

And did you do what I proposed to do in the message you replied to?

[verbal plinth]

Yes, no message was received in the response.

[steel trail]

Considering that event should emit for every response to any REST call I sure would hope there were many received

[sharp ginkgo]

RestEvents#response discord.js@14.25.1

[ripe topaz]

can you have a value be pre-set in a string select menu?

[steel trail]

Yes, put default in the option

[sharp ginkgo]

StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder#setDefault() builders@1.13.0
Sets whether this option is selected by default.

[steel trail]

If you use builders 👆

For raw json it's simply default: true

[ripe topaz]

[ripe topaz]

how do i set a custom activity? I want to set something like "Touching grass" with a grass emote

[red coral]

#1142187561729658942 message you can’t do emojis though

[verbal plinth]

Yes, but not in my test.

The route with the sharp increase is channel create. We didn't change anything today, meaning it increased randomly and resolved itself. During this peak period, channel creations typically took over 60 seconds. Perhaps this information is helpful.

[loud quartz]

how did you listen for it

[verbal plinth]

They come from the proxy.

https://github.com/germanoeich/nirn-proxy

[loud quartz]

didn't you just say that they kinda like don't come

[verbal plinth]

The data comes from the proxy and is the count, which shows how many connections are currently open through it.

[loud quartz]

this

not the graphs

[verbal plinth]

That was just to check if it was running twice, which it isn't. So everything is correct.

[loud quartz]

did you read what Qjuh said?

[verbal plinth]

Yeah

And everything fits perfectly there.

[wintry laurel]

is there a limit to the ammount of times you can run .update on a deffered interaction?

[tardy sable]

you can edit a message as many times as you want, just not .update again after .update in same interaction

[wintry laurel]

is there any way to update twice? or without another interaction or do i have to editReply that instead

[clear garnet]

editReply()

[wintry laurel]

essentially what i have is a long list of ephemeral embeds that have different triggers to change them and stuff, the first button file gets disconnected from the whole system right away and then its up to my interaction handler

[clear garnet]

deferX() and update() are both forms of acknowlegement. You can only acknowledge an interaction once

[wintry laurel]

ok so i would update and then edit the reply

[sharp ginkgo]

Responding to interactions:

• #reply immediately respond with a message
• #update immediately update the original message (buttons, select menus)
• #showModal immediately show a modal (cannot be deferred)
• #deferReply/Update respond later (up to 15 minutes)
• #followUp post an additional message

The initial response has to happen within 3s of receiving the interaction!

[clear garnet]

Correct

[wintry laurel]

ok thank you, and if theres a new set of buttons on the same ephemeral message (updated with new row) and then the user clicks a new button, that is a whole new interaction so i would need to update it again?

[clear garnet]

Correct

[wintry laurel]

thank you

[gusty glacier]

Hello! I saw that one of the servers I am in put a dropdown menu inside of a modal and I cant figure the heck out. Any suggiestions?

[clear garnet]

You'd want to first add a label to the modal, which you can then add a select menu inside of

[sharp ginkgo]

ModalBuilder#addLabelComponents() builders@1.13.0
Adds label components to this modal.

LabelBuilder#setStringSelectMenuComponent() discord.js@14.25.1
Sets a string select menu component to this label.

[loud quartz]

pretty sure that qjuh said that it should emit for every response. was your bot entirely dead and unused during your testing?

[subtle girder]

Will using mp3 files as audio resources and having them converted by ffmpeg cause the audio playback to stutter or become inconsistent?

[bleak owl]

that’s not really a discord.js question

[compact gorge]

i'm not sure on the issue here. im sure its device specific.
I have command tht goes thorugh series of phases, in the first 3 phases the user can see the buttons.
but in the finall phase he can't see the set of buttons. He's turned on and off his device, hes resetarted the client, closed and re-opened.

if logs into a browser on his mobile he can see the buttons. but not in the app. Any ideas how to fix for him?
(the buttons load for every one else)

[bleak owl]

that’s not really a d.js issue either

[wintry laurel]

just making sure, you can defer a showModal interaction just not the response? or other way around

my code picks a random selection of things to reply from a button, one of them is a modal and i want to make sure that i can defer at the start of the buttoninteraction in the case that the modal option gets chosen

[crude mist]

how do we import the token from the .env file? I used to use

require('dotenv').config();

but its saying this method doesnt work anymore

[topaz bluff]

you dont need dotenv anymore... it's officially supported by node... --env-file=.env

then, just use process.env.TOKEN or whatever you named it

[clear garnet]

Other way around

[wintry laurel]

ok so i should check the modal show case first and then defer it i guess

kinda weird why you cant defer those

i wonder why

oh i guess its probably the same as .launchActivity

[clear garnet]

UX I presume - "please wait for some random amount of time before a window pops up in the middle of your Discord client"

Versus "please wait for some random amount of time before the message is edited with new content"

[wintry laurel]

yea makes sense i guess

[wintry laurel]

better question accually, is there really any more than a few ms waisted on lines that arnt making requests? i asume node is pretty fast so things like getting from maps, random numbers, and what not shouldnt take any time right

[crude mist]

oh I see

I did it I think :D

[clear garnet]

Microsecond range I'd say

[wintry laurel]

ok great, and would anything depend on user ping? im still trying to figure out why im getting unknown interaction, i assume its because it hasnt been defered/took more than 3 seconds, but 99 precent of the time it works and theres very little code before the defer so

[rose tangle]

it really depends on what you're doing but the stuff that is heavy is probably inferrable

[wintry laurel]

i mean the only 2 things that make request is a message edit (own bot message), and then some interanl db calls which should take miliseconds at best

[rose tangle]

eg if you were to do big calculations like the 1000000th fibonacci number, technically a sync operation but yeah

[wintry laurel]

lol no nothing like that

[rose tangle]

well db calls might need a defer if they're over a network or goes through fs, which is generally what a db does

[wintry laurel]

bothh my db and bot are hosted on the same service, and they use internal communication

usually dont take long at all most cases, but might be weird sometimes

[rose tangle]

what is "internal communication"?

[wintry laurel]

like same network, so all the traffic stays inside their servers

[rose tangle]

yeah it could be fast enough then ig

you can debug by logging the now - createdTimestamp difference when you receive the interaction and when you're about to reply

to see if it's you taking too long to reply, or you getting the interaction too late

[wintry laurel]

oh good idea

might just end up being a situation where its essentially unavoidable for a few req to not be dropped/not responded to but we will see

[crude mist]

with python you can do like

        synced = await bot.tree.sync()
        print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
        for s in synced:
            print(f":white_check_mark: {s}")

Is there a way to do something similiar in discord.js?

[rose tangle]

you mean deploy commands with a call?

[sharp ginkgo]

guide suggestion for @crude mist:
Registering Commands
For fully functional slash commands, you need three important pieces of code:...

[warm charm]

💀 jst read guide bro

[rose tangle]

I don't know much about dpy to see what's going on there, but if you mean to deploy commands then yeah, what notyuna linked

[crude mist]

no its getting the array of slash commands and printing them out so I can see which commands actually registered

[rose tangle]

the array of commands that are currently registered on Discord?

because djs has no registry for unregistered commands, that's just not how it works

it's like trying to get out of youtube, the list of videos that aren't on youtube but are on your machine

[wintry laurel]

heres another example. there is no reason why this button defer should sometimes be giving unknown interaction. its like impossible for me to respond to it faster, and any of the other 2 reasons for this error are obsolete

[rose tangle]

djs only serves to interact with the discord api

[crude mist]

I think they do have an api for the slash commadns then

[rose tangle]

yeah you can retrieve the commands that are in discord

[sharp ginkgo]

Client#application discord.js@14.25.1
The application of this bot

ClientApplication#commands discord.js@14.25.1
The application command manager for this application

[crude mist]

meh too complicated for my first day i'll deal with that later

thanks tho

[odd stirrup]

my guess is just occasional spikes in network latency

i think it sometimes happens to me too

[rose tangle]

its like impossible for me to respond to it faster
defer before unarchive?

[wintry laurel]

no but this one is weird it happens like way more frequently than other unknown interactions

like almost impossiaBLE

[wintry laurel]

yea but then you cant defer because the thread is archvied

i guess i could check if it is archived first, but still unarchiving a thread shouldnt take more than 3 seconds

[odd stirrup]

this particular command you mean?

[wintry laurel]

although, now that im thinking about it, it might

our server has been stuck at 1000 active threads (or very close) so maybe thats part of the issue?

[odd stirrup]

you could console.time everything up until the interaction.reply or whatever, see if it ever spikes above 3s

[wintry laurel]

yea ill probably end up doing that just to see

[odd stirrup]

i know very little about threads myself, no clue if that could cause issues

[wintry laurel]

maybe making changes to a thread if theres tons of active ones takes longer

[odd stirrup]

but i'd assume anything that interacts with external apis could technically get a big delay

i prob should defer for more things myself but i haven't noticed it being much of a problem so idk

[rose tangle]

I think you should be able to since you have perms to reopen it, and moderators can talk in archived threads

[wintry laurel]

yea true but again like this happens pretty rarly and has just started happening again more so

[odd stirrup]

well best u can do is probably console.time it to isolate the problem

[rose tangle]

but still unarchiving a thread shouldnt take more than 3 seconds
about this, like faceboy mentioned there can be network spikes, so it isn't technically impossible

[wintry laurel]

well ive tried and it just says thread archived so

my bot is a mod but idk

accually ill check again to make sure there wanst a perm change i am unaware about

manage threads and posts should be enough right? thats what it has + all mod perms and stuff so

[odd stirrup]

and if you have multiple async operations, you could add a console.timeLog to each of them to further help isolate the issue

[wintry laurel]

ill do that rn

[odd stirrup]

tho it could be a little annoying since you have to actually check the logs

[wintry laurel]

ehh thats not to bad

i want this error gone so

[odd stirrup]

might be worth either finding a package or making your own that just gives you a function to store timestamps and log only if something is substantially longer than expected

[wintry laurel]

to much work

[odd stirrup]

fair enough

for less frequent things id say its probably worth it, but if this is not too hard to reproduce the issue then sure

[wintry laurel]

ok i just archvied 600 active thread and added that so hopefully that fixes it

[valid rock]

where abouts in the docs might i find how to put buttons inside of emebds? found it

question, in the ContainerBuilder() the setAccentColor does not take hex? is there any alterative or easy ways of turning hex to accent?

[ruby bane]

instead of using the pound sign, just use 0x
#ffffff -> 0xffffff

[odd stirrup]

^ outside of a string

so .setAccentColor(0xffffff)

[valid rock]

aaa thanks guys thats really helpful

[odd stirrup]

the 0x at the beginning specifies that its a hex number, so this is a number value, and if you need to convert a string hex code to a number, you can use parseInt with the radix argument (like parseInt("ffffff", 16))

[solar furnace]

    if (!interaction.member.roles.cache.some((role: { name: string; }) => role.name === 'Strategy & Development' || 'Operations Manager' || 'Advisor' || 'Oversight' || 'Robots' || 'Operations Coordinator' || 'Operations Director')){
        await interaction.editReply(`![vfmsno](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1211980350813773885.webp?size=128 "vfmsno") **@${interaction.member.username}**, you do not have the required permissions to run this command.`);
        return;
    }

hi there, does anyone know why this may not be working? i am certain i do not have any of the associated roles. it is not working as in it is still running the command even though i do not have any of those roles

[odd stirrup]

because thats not how you check if a string is equal to one of a set of values, unfortunately

[solar furnace]

ah i used that syntax from the guide directly

but it did look unusual

[ruby bane]

you need to check if role.name is equal to them individually
so role.name === ... || role.name === ...

[odd stirrup]

your best option is to have an array of role names, and check in your .some myArray.contains(role.name)

[solar furnace]

alright, so for example ((role: {name: string;}) => role.name === "X" || role.name === "Y") would work?

[odd stirrup]

yes

[solar furnace]

ahh this works best thank you! would this look like ((role: {name: string;}) => myArray.contains(role.name)?

[odd stirrup]

the cleanest for more than maybe two role names is to do it this way

[ruby bane]

yes but i would take faceboys suggestion into consideration, also comparing by role id would likely be better, since they wouldn't change, but in the future, the names may

[odd stirrup]

yes, and btw you shouldnt have to add types to role, the djs types should be enough on their own

[valid rock]

question, can you do like setImage() with the ContainerBuilder()? or is that not an option

[solar furnace]

ahhhh thank you! appreciate it

[odd stirrup]

this too, its best to use role ids, but im assuming you are doing this for just your own server so foolproofing it might not be as important

[solar furnace]

this is a cross-server solution (two servers for two seperate group of people with the exact same role structure) hence the name

this is for a grand total of 2 guilds

if a role changed i'd be the one changing it

[odd stirrup]

fair

well just be careful then, if you forget to update the bot in the future then thats on you but it shouldnt be hard to fix

[solar furnace]

alright, got it
ty for the help! :D

[valid rock]

.

[odd stirrup]

first of all, to be clear, a container is not an embed, other than the accent color and spoiler, you dont set something about it, instead it contains other components and does not act like an embed with those predefined fields

in this case, you want to add a MediaGallery component, with one media item or whatever its called

[valid rock]

looked like an embed to me properly shouldnt have assumed that :)

[odd stirrup]

if you want to add a thumbnail image, you have to add a Section, which (must) contain 1-3 TextDisplayComponents and either a Thumbnail image or a Button that gets rendered to the right of those text displays

[valid rock]

gotcha i think i'll mess around with it and then ask more questions

[odd stirrup]

its a very common assumption, which is fair enough since they are visually similar, but you should treat it as its own whole separate thing

[valid rock]

noted for now lol thanks though

[odd stirrup]

oh and before you potentially ask, no you cannot create inline fields or author pfp or footer icon

embeds do have some things like that that containers cant do

(also very common questions lol)

[valid rock]

bummer i'd see what i can do 🙏

[odd stirrup]

i do still love components v2 tho

[odd stirrup]

embeds are more about displaying info while components v2 are about interactivity

[solar furnace]

hi, it's me again, sorry!

 
    if (!interaction.member.roles.cache.some((role: Role) => authLevels.disciplineAndStandards.includes(role.name))) {
        await interaction.editReply(`![vfmsno](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1211980350813773885.webp?size=128 "vfmsno") **@${interaction.member.username}**, you do not have the required permissions to run this command.`);
        return;
    }

trying out this method now.

this is my authLevels definition:

let authLevels: {
  strategyAndDevelopment: string[];
  staffTeam: string[];
  leadershipTeam: string[];
  seniorStaffTeam: string[];
  disciplineAndStandards: string[];
} = {
    strategyAndDevelopment: ['Strategy & Development', 'Operations Manager', 'Advisor', 'Oversight', 'Robots', 'Operations Coordinator', 'Operations Director'],
    disciplineAndStandards: ['Discipline & Standards', 'Operations Manager', 'Advisor', 'Oversight', 'Robots', 'Operations Coordinator', 'Operations Director'],
    staffTeam: ['Supervisor', 'Team Leader', 'Operations Manager', 'Advisor', 'Oversight', 'Robots', 'Operations Coordinator', 'Operations Director'],
    leadershipTeam: ['Operations Manager', 'Advisor', 'Oversight', 'Robots', 'Operations Coordinator', 'Operations Director'],
    seniorStaffTeam: ['Team Leader', 'Operations Manager', 'Advisor', 'Oversight', 'Robots', 'Operations Coordinator', 'Operations Director']
};

you can see the roles i ahve when i am running this in the image below. these roles i have do grant me admin permissions but nothing else

[odd stirrup]

what exactly is the issue? that it doesnt give permission to run the command?

[solar furnace]

ah, sorry i didn't clarify. the issue is that i can still run the commands even though i don't have the role

[odd stirrup]

hmm

hmmm im not sure what there would be causing the problem

[solar furnace]

all good haha

[odd stirrup]

you are sure that that if statement is run before anything else, and that it is not within a sub function that only that returns while other parts of the command can still run?

[solar furnace]

hmm, good thing to consider.

my structure is

• defer the reply
• if statement
• the code that the command intends to run

is there a chance that the command is running concurrently with the if statement? if so, how do I stop that?

[odd stirrup]

shouldnt be possible

[warm charm]

just use roleid

[odd stirrup]

my thing about the structure is that if you have something like

function checkPerms(interaction) {
  // your if statement
}

function executeCommand(interaction) {
  checkPerms(interaction);

  // the rest of the command here
}
``` then it wouldnt work

[warm charm]

its better than using role name

[solar furnace]

ah no that's not how it is, it's all in execute()

[odd stirrup]

you probably dont have anything like that but sanity check

[odd stirrup]

using role id vs name isnt really relevant to this particular issue i dont think

[warm charm]

im thinking about array, if the func return string, not array

[odd stirrup]

unless you put the if statement in an async function, which presumably isnt the case, no. outside of async, code runs consistently one line after the other

try console.log ing interaction.member.roles.cache, and maybe also turn the callback for .some(...) into a code block and add some console.log stuff in there

there is rarely a problem that cant be diagnosed with enough console.logs

[solar furnace]

my execute() is asyc yeah

[odd stirrup]

everything inside will still run sync tho

[solar furnace]

got it, thanks
ill eat dinner and let you sleep if ur in a timezone where ur sleeping rn
ty for the help

[odd stirrup]

it is 1:20am i should probably sleep lmao

[solar furnace]

oh boy sorry lmaoo

[odd stirrup]

but the only time something should run non-blocking like that is when you call an async function, that function call will be non-blocking (unless you await it)

everything inside an async function, except for other non-awaited function calls, will still run synchronously inside the function, even if the function as a whole is async

[solar furnace]

ty

[odd stirrup]

im awake anyways, its winter break i dont need to have a decent sleep schedule

[solar furnace]

lool fair

i cant really talk im known to be up atthese times too lmao

[steel trail]

Sounds like they need to update their discord app

[patent epoch]

Anyone wanna help me figure this out? I understand the code, but not where to put everything and how to put it all together to make it work - this is straight from the collectors page: https://discordjs.guide/legacy/popular-topics/collectors

const collector = message.createMessageComponentCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.Button, time: 15_000 });
collector.on('collect', (i) => {
    if (i.user.id === interaction.user.id) {
        i.reply(`${i.user.id} clicked on the ${i.customId} button.`);
    } else {
        i.reply({ content: `These buttons aren't for you!`, flags: MessageFlags.Ephemeral });
    }
});
collector.on('end', (collected) => {
    console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} interactions.`);
});```
First question would be how and where to define the button - I also want the button to have an id, because multiple of these will exist at the same time. Here's my current slash command:
```const { ActionRowBuilder, ButtonBuilder, ButtonStyle, SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
  cooldown: 10,
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder().setName('hunt').setDescription('Starts a party to hunt nearby monsters.'),
    async execute(interaction) {

        const join = new ButtonBuilder().setCustomId('join').setLabel('Join Hunt').setStyle(ButtonStyle.Success);
        const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(join);

        await interaction.reply({
            content: `Do you want to join the hunt?`,
            components: [row],
        });
    },
};```

[rose tangle]

you'd put it right there below the reply

First question would be how and where to define the button
your button is already defined, it's the join variable

I also want the button to have an id, because multiple of these will exist at the same time.
it also already has an id, which is the customId you set with setCustomId: 'join'

[patent epoch]

yeah the issue with that id is that multiple ppl might run the /hunt command and there would be several buttons with the same id

maybe I can add the user id to the button id?

[rose tangle]

yeah that's one option if it doesn't matter whether the same user calls the command many times and uses the button from different executions

[patent epoch]

yup, a user would only be allowed to call it once (on a cd) and the btn would disappear before they can call it again

could also just work with a counter or something?

[cobalt plover]

why does my bot receive MESSAGE_UPDATE events for messages that have not even been updated?

[rose tangle]

yeah you can keep track of current executions

or you could append the interaction id instead which is unique per interaction

that way it doesn't matter whether they executed it multiple times, each one is independent

[rose tangle]

for instance?

[patent epoch]

in which file should the collector.on('collect') ... functions go?
do they go in the file where I define my command?
not sure I understand what the interactionCreate file is for then

[rose tangle]

^^

you're free to use collectors or a "manual" interactionCreate listener (collectors are just interactionCreate listeners that dispose themselves)

it depends on your style and preferences, sometimes it might be easier to use one or the other

say if you had some state in your command it might be harder to "share" it if it's in an independent listener

// on your command
execute(interaction) {
  const state = somethingThatUsesTheInteraction(interaction);

  // send the 'myButton' button
}

// on your event
execute(client, interaction) {
  if (interaction.customId === 'myButton') {
    // how do you get 'state' now?
  }  
}

it's not impossible, but it's not as straightforward

[cobalt plover]

cant really provide an example rn, but i log the urls to old message and new message in my messageUpdate and once it gets triggered, i open either of those urls (since they're identical) and it leads me to an unedited message

[rose tangle]

is it a regular message?

[cobalt plover]

it's a webhook embed

[rose tangle]

sent by your bot, or?

[cobalt plover]

no, that webhook is executed by a game and it doesnt belong to my bot

[steel trail]

How do you determine that the message is unedited? Just because there's no (edited) below it doesn't mean anything. Could be flags that changed (suppress embeds for example) or something else that doesn't show the (edited) tag

Also if discord adds embeds to the message after it was sent (if the message contains a link for example)

[patent epoch]

module.exports = {
  cooldown: 10,
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder().setName('hunt').setDescription('Starts a party to hunt nearby monsters.'),
    async execute(interaction) {

        const joinHuntBtn = new ButtonBuilder()
            .setCustomId('join-hunt')
            .setLabel('Join Hunt')
            .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Success);

        const leaveHuntBtn = new ButtonBuilder()
            .setCustomId('leave-hunt')
            .setLabel('Leave Hunt')
            .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Danger)

        const buttonRow = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(joinHuntBtn, leaveHuntBtn);

        const reply = await interaction.reply({
            content: `A new hunt has been started!`,
            components: [buttonRow],
        });

        // Just for testing - remove!
        const filter = (i) => i.user.id === interaction.user.id;

        const collector = reply.createMessageComponentCollector({
            componentType: ComponentType.Button,
            time: 15_000,
            filter,
        });

        collector.on('collect', (interaction) => {
            if (interaction.customId === 'join-hunt') {
                interaction.reply(`${interaction.user.username} has joined the hunt!`);
            }
            else if (interaction.customId === 'leave-hunt') {
        interaction.reply(`${interaction.user.username} has left the hunt!`);
            }
    });

    },
};```
This is giving an error when I click the buttons:   rawError: { message: 'Unknown interaction', code: 10062 },
https://codeshare.io/2prlqV

it's showing me the interaction in the interactionCreate file 😒

ok so removing the code in the other file fixed it - can someone explain this?

I had:

            return interaction.reply({
                content: `Button clicked!`
            });```
in the interactionCreate file from the tutorial

it returns the interaction, so the interaction is gone? 🤔

[warm charm]

here, try

        collector.on('collect', async (interaction) => {
            if (interaction.customId === 'join-hunt') {
                interaction.update(`${interaction.user.username} has joined the hunt!`);
            }
            else if (interaction.customId === 'leave-hunt') {
        interaction.update(`${interaction.user.username} has left the hunt!`);
            }

[halcyon bison]

tldr: you can only respond to an interaction once, so if you attempt to respond to the same interaction twice at the same time, one succeeds and the other receives "Unknown interaction"

[halcyon bison]

I'm not totally sure what you mean by this, so I'm not totally sure how to answer this
if you're asking whether returning an object from an event listener callback in some way interacts with the api, that would never be the case

[patent epoch]

thx 🙂

editReply cant delede with timeout?

[polar karma]

You want to delete a message after a certain amount of time?

[subtle girder]

why return interaction.editReply({ embeds: [embed], flags: MessageFlags.Ephemeral });
won't reply user ephemerally?

also same as return await interaction.editReply({...})

[warm charm]

if the og msg ephemeral

[unique shoal]

Yeah edit doesn't accept ephem, the original message or defer sets the state

[signal pumice]

use deleteReply()

if I had a channel with say months old messages, could I fetch the last 100 even if theyre >2 weeks old?

            )```
Why isn't my modal working with those two at the same time?

It only shows setTextInputComponent

[tardy sable]

each component goes into a separate labelbuilder

you have to place your string select in another labelbuilder

[flint pier]

Both of those are in LabelBuilder.

[tardy sable]

yes but you can only have one in a labelbuilder

[flint pier]

So how can I display both string and text input in a modal?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @flint pier:
ModalBuilder#addLabelComponents() builders@1.13.0
Adds label components to this modal.

Modals
Modals are pop-up forms that allow you to prompt users for additional input. This form-like interaction response blocks the user from interacting with Discord until the modal is submitted or dismissed. In this section, we will cover how to create, show, and receive modals using discord.js! This page is a follow-up to the interactions (slash commands) page. Reading that page first will help you understand the concepts introduced in this page.

[flint pier]

oh thankyou, i did it

[flint pier]

Does modal have any limitations?

[tardy sable]

what limitations are you thinking of? it supports up to 5 labels

[flint pier]

ohh okay

[flint pier]

Timeout duration was set to 1.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)```What kind of error is this?

[tardy sable]

not djs related, but looks like thats not a valid integer

[fallow finch]

I see an increase in this error, not sure if it's djs related, but lately there have been some people posting an error like this

[loud quartz]

That's because they happened to update node. This could have been happening for ages, but previous node versions simply did this silently

If you're getting it, you can use the node option it mentions to pinpoint where it's coming from

[fallow finch]

Oh probably, because my local development uses node v20 and production build uses v24 so I never saw this error on local development

[tribal birch]

can we use dokploy for djs

[velvet cipher]

Is there something that makes you think it won't be possible? Djs doesn't do anything special, it's just NodeJS

[tribal birch]

vercel wont work for discord bots example

[velvet cipher]

Then that's a Vercel issue, not a djs issue. You'll have to ask/look into the specific provider.

[tribal birch]

okay so dokploy works with discord.js ?

[velvet cipher]

I don't know, you'll have to ask dokploy

[outer plume]

Can dokploy run a vm or a container?

[tribal birch]

please dont give support if you dont know

[outer plume]

If yes, then it can run a discord bot written with djs

[velvet cipher]

I'm giving you support by saying that this question isn't for djs, it's for dokploy

[tribal birch]

yeah as much as i can see, im new to it also

[outer plume]

it should be possible then. djs runs as a node process. If dokploy can run node, it can run djs

[loud quartz]

Can it run it forever

Not just for 5 minutes after an http request to wake it up

[tribal birch]

wdym is that a question

[loud quartz]

Yes

[velvet cipher]

Dokploy just looks like a server management platform, you still need to provide a server outside of it on your own, so if the server you provide can run Nodejs I don't see that there would be any issues.

[topaz bluff]

Vercel is a serverless hosting provider. Meaning it doesn't keep an instance of your code running 24/7, rather dynamically starts and stops your application based on the location of users and current load on the system

Websocket applications CANNOT function in a serverless provider. Which is why DJS bots don't work on Vercel

[loud quartz]

Websocket can work in serverless just fine

What doesn't work is long lived connections

Each start is going to be a separate log in, which is a highway to get your token reset continuously

[topaz bluff]

What's it, 200 allowed logins a day?

[loud quartz]

1000

[topaz bluff]

Oh I'm thinking of commands

That sounds better

[outer plume]

Would depend on the traffic no?

[loud quartz]

No

[outer plume]

Oh the discord limit. I thought smth else

[past spear]

Can I show users with a specific role in the user select menu?

[polar karma]

No, there's no functionality for that

[lavish surge]

Is it currently possible in forum channels to only allow the creator of the post to talk in their own post?

[tardy sable]

no

[lavish surge]

Thank you!

[red coral]

Theres a permission for fetching audit logs right? Do you need that permission to recieve the gateway event?

[loud quartz]

do the dapi docs for the event say anything about that?

[reef wave]

This probably isnt djs related enough, so ignore me otherwise. But what type would u save an id (user, channel, guild) as in a database? A bigint?

[topaz bluff]

String is the easiest as you don't need to convert it back and forth...but a Snowflake is a uint64 transmitter as a string

[red coral]

[reef wave]

Yeah so in node I obv keep it as a string for precision, but in a database I would save a lot of space, and it wont cause precision issues right?

[loud quartz]

depends however your database adapter decides to handle such numbers

[reef wave]

Yeah okay, thanks, it should work then

[velvet cipher]

You would only realistically save "a lot" of space if you store millions of records, otherwise it's going to be a few bytes in difference

[reef wave]

yeah it's not a lot, I think its like 20 mil rows, but I want to optimize what I can ig

^ this is a wrong answer bc not every row includes an id ofc, but still.

[velvet cipher]

It's just a complexity trade-off, since you'll need to convert back and forth, but if you feel like it's worth it then go for it

[loud quartz]

is that a yes or a no

[red coral]

That’s a, I found it thanks

[odd stirrup]

if my math doesn't suck, an average 19-character ascii/utf-8 encoded snowflake (discord/twitter-style id) is 152 bits, while a uint64 is obv 64 bits, so with this awful math and 20mil snowflakes you'd save maybe 1.8gb

i know nothing about how exactly a database stores these things so if a pointer is used to store a string then that would add extra bits, but that might be somewhat canceled out by not every row having an id as you said

nope my math is wrong

divide that by 8, so like 220MB

[reef wave]

Oh thanks! Seems a lot more then I thought actually

(my pc crahsed while writing this message lmao)

^ So I saw ur edit in time xD

[odd stirrup]

i'd assume that 220mb wouldn't be much compared to the overall size of a 20mil row database, but a string is a pretty wasteful (although convenient) way to store numbers

if i were you id stick with strings for convenience (maybe im lazy), but up to you ofc

[reef wave]

Im gonna change it, its not a huge migration. The only thing Ill need to is check if the rows are compatible (well values), but thanks 🙂

[crude mist]

when handling if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {} do you put it before or after embed builders/components

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, async interaction => { 
   if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
    const rules_embed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .setAuthor({name: interaction.user.displayName, iconURL: interaction.user.displayAvatarURL()})
    .setDescription('Test')
    .setColor("Blue");

    const button = new ButtonBuilder()
    .setCustomId("Hello")
    .setLabel("THis is a button")
    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);
    const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(button);

  await interaction.deferReply();
  interaction.channel.send({embeds: [rules_embed], components:[row]});
   }
});

ignore the weird names im just testing everythinh

[clear garnet]

Well, I wouldn't spend the - albeit very minute - resources instantiating a builder and populating it if you aren't yet sure if it'll be used

[crude mist]

so before it then

[ruby bane]

where you define the builders/message data doesnt really matter so long as its in scope, im not really sure what this question is asking

[crude mist]

it was really just a format question how its done, i've gotten yelled at for doing it in weird ways and committing to actions when it was supposed to be done some other way

[tardy sable]

with anything you would just normally define your stuff in the scope where youre gonna use it 🤷 dont see what you could do wrong

[formal sail]

is there any reason why it would respond to a button with this? "You need Administrator permission to use this." It doesn't say that anywhere in my code and I have 0 clue why it's happening. I get it from a "DiscordAPIError[40060]: Interaction has already been acknowledged." error.

[clear garnet]

Sounds like you have some other process that's also trying to respond to button interactions with that message

That message is indeed not part of the Discord API nor d.js, so it must be some user-written code

[formal sail]

i found the culprit

sorry about that

[odd stirrup]

whats the difference?

[stable sun]

Whether the guild the interaction came from is cached or raw

[odd stirrup]

how would the guild not be cached?

[stable sun]

Bot was added for commands only

[odd stirrup]

is that possible without manually customizing the caches

[odd stirrup]

do you mean added to a guild with just the application.commands scope without bot, or user install?

[stable sun]

Both actually

[odd stirrup]

hmmmm i feel like i can assume both are invalid installations

[stable sun]

Well, I don’t think the former is a thing anymore

Pretty sure application.commands now implies bot scope

[odd stirrup]

i want to add a type guard in my interactionCreate.ts and then type all my command files so i dont have to deal with things like interaction.member not having all the fields

[topaz bluff]

i think it's the other way around

[stable sun]

Oh

[odd stirrup]

yea i recall that previously application.commands was part of bot, and they added application.commands retroactively to anything that had bot

[topaz bluff]

bot is required for an application to have membership in a guild... but all bots have the ability to manage commands

[stable sun]

Stuff that doesn’t need to be in the guild like d.js docs bot doesn’t need the bot scope

[odd stirrup]

point is i wanna make sure theres not some edge case where this wouldnt work

like without user installation, can i safely assume that itll always be cached

[topaz bluff]

if you are only guild installed and only allow commands in a guild (no dms), then it should always be from a cached guild

[odd stirrup]

hmmmm dms might be tough

[stable sun]

It depends on how you want it to look in ur handler

[odd stirrup]

ok maybe ill just save this type guard for individual command files

less assumptions to make

[topaz bluff]

BaseInteraction#inGuild is probably all you'll need... any command that needs to perform actions in a guild can have this guard or else it won't be allowed to do whatever it's doing

that or just manage the context of the command

[odd stirrup]

my problem is just about negotiating with typescript

[topaz bluff]

for guild only commands, i would just typecast it in your execute function

[odd stirrup]

yea most stuff is guild only, cant guarantee it all will be so ill just type guard when i need it (usually when i need to mess with interaction.member)

anyways with that sorted out, back to redesigning my /rank command yet again because i hate it

[odd stirrup]

aight theres my /rank command

-# it also technically supports ranks having custom images, its just not currently possible to actually configure ranks with images, i need to re enable that at some point

[finite zealot]

Can we develop discord voice agent bot?

[finite zealot]

STT -> LLM -> TTS

[proud arrow]

There maybe tools that may help you do that, but that specifically wouldn't be d.js related. If you want to know how you can recieve voice it'd be better to post in #998942774994927646 otherwise try #1081585952654360687

[ripe topaz]

With a file upload field in a modal, i can get the file url and store in a db, and im doing that except now the url doesnt work anymore, is there a way to fix that?

[halcyon bison]

much like with attachment options for slash commands, file upload attachments are ephemeral
and even putting that aside, attachment urls expire due to #discord-dev-news message
in general you will want to download/reupload the file somewhere else rather than using discord as a file host

[ripe topaz]

that's very annoying but alright

[patent epoch]

I have a slash command that sends a reply and stores it.
How do I change this so it only stores the 1st reply? It has buttons and each button click sends a new ephemeral reply, but the reply variable is overwritten each time now.
Do I just do this with JS logic, something like if reply is empty then store reply? Or does discord.js have a proper way to handle this?

            content: `A new hunt is starting soon!`,
            components: [buttonRow],
        });```

[drowsy plinth]

I’m facing an issue in discord.js and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

The crash happens specifically on GUILD_DELETE.
I suspect something related to cache or an invalid reference, but I’m not sure.

This happens in two cases:
• When the bot is removed from a guild
• When a server is joined → immediately left → then joined again
Is this a known issue?

[stable sun]

You might be thinking about the interaction flow wrong.

1. You receive an interaction from interaction create (whether it’s from a button press, slash command, etc),
2. You check its data and branch accordingly (e.g. isButton(), .isChatInputCommand(), .customId, .commandName)
3. You reply to interaction

This should happen for every interaction that you receive

[stable sun]

What’s ur d.js version? npm ls discord.js

[drowsy plinth]

latest

14.25.1

[stable sun]

Are you redefining client fields by chance?

Specifically client.voice

[drowsy plinth]

No, I’m not redefining client.voice.

[patent epoch]

I need some more help with this - I understand what you're saying, but I'm having a hard time applying it to my actual code.
Here's what I have so far: https://codeshare.io/G70pVL
The reply when executing the slash command is saved, but then later is overwritten each time a button is clicked.

I also don't understand how the counter is actually working - since it should be reset to 0 each time not? (It's not)

[stable sun]

Can you add this code right after you instantiate the Client and show what logs in console?

Object.defineProperty(client, "voice", { writable: false });
console.log(client.voice)```

[patent epoch]

Nvm, it's actually just working, hmm

[drowsy plinth]

ok

[stable sun]

Omitting L11 could cause ur described issue

Actually nvm, it wouldn’t even count properly

You’d get NaN when incrementing/decrementing undefined

Unless it’s not undefined, ofc

You don’t need to call setDisabled on the buttons btw. You are alr removing them from the message

[patent epoch]

ah yeah 🙂 just experimenting a bit as I'm learning

[drowsy plinth]

Thanks a lot for the help!

The issue was on my side — I was overwriting discord.js’ internal client.voice
by assigning my SQLite DB to it.
Renamed it and everything’s working fine now.

I’ve been stuck on this since yesterday and couldn’t figure it out at all.

[stable sun]

Yea, that’s why I don’t recommend sticking stuff to things you didn’t make

[past spear]

How do I get a user ID from a user select menu in a modal? I'm not quite sure how to get it from the object map

[sharp ginkgo]

ModalSubmitFields#getSelectedUsers() discord.js@14.25.1
Gets users component

[past spear]

const candidate = interaction.fields.getSelectedUsers('candidate_select')```

like this?

[stable sun]

It would be a Collection of Users, but yes

[past spear]

I need to get one user so I can then assign him roles and change his nickname

[stable sun]

Select menus may have multiple users selected, if you haven’t limited it

[past spear]

I'm aware

[stable sun]

You can always use the helper methods like .first() or .last() to grab the first or last user

I only mention it because you named the variable singular, which would be misleading

[past spear]

I called it that because there really is only one user at most

[past spear]

thx!

[warm charm]

hi, how i can check channel type

[sharp ginkgo]

ChannelType discord.js@14.25.1

[cobalt solstice]

<Channel>.type

[warm charm]

alr ty

btw how i can check the channel is rule channel or not

[sharp ginkgo]

Guild#rulesChannelId discord.js@14.25.1
The rules channel's id for the guild

[crimson gale]

compare its id to ^

[warm charm]

oh, i need to fetch the rule channel and compare it, right?

[crimson gale]

what are you trying to do?

[warm charm]

im checking if type on channel is rulechannel, return

[crimson gale]

it's not a type (rules channels are text channels, so type 0), compare the channel id to <reply> on the Guild instance

[warm charm]

alr ty

[brisk lynx]

Hi friends, do you know if there's any way I can make it so that when a channel is created for a user, it's focused on that user?

With this new "View channels" option, some channels are hidden.

Basically, when a user joins my server, I create a unique channel for them, but for most people the channel doesn't appear unless they go to the option and enable it. Is there anything I can do?

// Create onboarding channel
            const onboardingChannel = await guild.channels.create({
                name: `👋・welcome-${member.user.username}`,
                type: 0, // Text channel
                parent: onboardingCategory,
                permissionOverwrites: [
                    {
                        id: guild.id,
                        deny: ['ViewChannel'],
                    },
                    {
                        id: member.id,
                        allow: ['ViewChannel', 'SendMessages', 'ReadMessageHistory'],
                    },
                    {
                        id: member.client.user.id,
                        allow: ['ViewChannel', 'SendMessages', 'ManageChannels'],
                    },
                ],
            });```

[tardy sable]

making a channel everytime someones joins your guild isnt really a good idea (do threads instead). But that depends on how your onboarding is setup. set the category where those channels are created as default followed. if that still doesnt work ping them in the channel so it appears in their list

[brisk lynx]

Perfect, I'll try that. Thank you!

How can I set the category where those channels are created as default?

[tardy sable]

in the onboarding menu > default channels > select the category

[brisk lynx]

Ok, thanks.

[tardy sable]

that category must have already the view channel permission tho. so that might not be ideal for your use case

[past spear]

how many select menus I can add to my modal?

[wary coral]

You can have a maximum of five top level modal components. If your modal was to only include select menus, you can have five select menus

[past spear]

k, thx

[livid kettle]

Any chance we might ever see autocomplete components in modals?

[topaz bluff]

Doubtfully

[ripe topaz]

is it possible to know the locale of a guild member/user?
For example I have a faction system, and one of the subcommands is an invite command which sends a dm with an embed and 2 buttons to the targeted user, but the person that invites has their locale set to us english and the target might use spanish, so i want to send the invite in spanish to their dm

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @ripe topaz:
ChatInputCommandInteraction#locale discord.js@14.25.1
The locale of the user who invoked this interaction

[fallow finch]

The same property might exist on other interactions so look at the docs

[ripe topaz]

i am aware, yes, but that doesnt help me figure out a targeted user's locale

[fallow finch]

If the one who invokes the command isn't the target then your only way to know is if they set their language explicitly on a database for example

[wary coral]

you can get the locale for the guild

[sharp ginkgo]

BaseInteraction#guildLocale discord.js@14.25.1
The preferred locale from the guild this interaction was sent in

[loud quartz]

No, you cannot scan all guild members to target only spanish-using users

[tardy sable]

on getStringSelectValues() does it return empty array if nothing select or undefined?

[loud quartz]

What do the docs say it returns

[dire iris]

Is there a way to fetch a user tag?

like the guild tag

[sharp ginkgo]

User#primaryGuild discord.js@14.25.1
The primary guild of the user

UserPrimaryGuild#tag discord.js@14.25.1
The user's guild tag. Limited to 4 characters

[rose tangle]

there's also other data there you can check

primary guild is how discord calls the tag feature pretty much

[dire iris]

alright, thank you :)

[dire iris]

What event would I be able to detect changes of the tag changed on?

guildMemberUpdate?

[rose tangle]

I think userUpdate since it's on the user

[dire iris]

okay ty

[tiny condor]

Both depending on the cache state
One or the other

[loud quartz]

Because discord sends all that via gmu, and we separate it out basing on what changed

[tiny condor]

whats the difference between userupdate and guildmemberupdate again?

[tiny condor]

this is much clearer now thanks

[dire iris]

module.exports = {
  name: 'userUpdate',
  async execute(oldMember: GuildMember, newMember: GuildMember, client: Client) {
    try {
      if (newMember.guild.id !== config.yourGuildId) {
        return;
      }

      const oldUser = await oldMember.user.fetch(true);
      const newUser = await newMember.user.fetch(true);
      
      const oldPrimaryGuild = oldUser.primaryGuild;
      const newPrimaryGuild = newUser.primaryGuild;
      
      const oldHasThisGuild = oldPrimaryGuild?.identityEnabled === true && 
                              oldPrimaryGuild?.identityGuildId === config.yourGuildId;
      const newHasThisGuild = newPrimaryGuild?.identityEnabled === true && 
                              newPrimaryGuild?.identityGuildId === config.yourGuildId;
} catch (error) {
      console.error('Error handling primary guild update:', error);
    }
  }
};

any questions on why this isnt working?

I used many things n still not working

[tiny condor]

the old primary guild maybe null sometimes don't use that to validate

[dire iris]

okayy

Thank you @tiny condor and @rose tangle, I've finally got it working :)

[dire iris]

Now- does anyone know how to check if a server has a tag or not?

Im just wondering as Im making a whole system sooo- yk

and this is the last part n dont know how to check if the server has a tag or not.

[tardy sable]

no for some reason discord made guild tag only on user

you can only check if guild has the feature to set tags in guild.features

[dire iris]

ahh damn okay

[ripe topaz]

How do I edit a role's permissions?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @ripe topaz:
Role#setPermissions() discord.js@14.25.1
Sets the permissions of the role.

// Set the permissions of the role
role.setPermissions([PermissionFlagsBits.KickMembers, PermissionFlagsBits.BanMembers])
  .then(updated => console.log(`Updated permissions to ${updated.permissions.bitfield}`))
  .catch(console.error);

[ripe topaz]

thanks

[civic jungle]

is it possible to send a new message on button interaction, without replying?

[loud quartz]

if your app that receives the interaction has a bot in the server that has permissions to send messages into the channel, yes

but that's going to leave an error on the user side

because you never responded to the interaction

[civic jungle]

is it possible to make an invisible reply

[loud quartz]

you can respond ephemerally, yes

[civic jungle]

that means only user who interacted can see that message?

[loud quartz]

yes

[civic jungle]

but i dont want that

like im converting my app from eris.js to discord.js
in eris I had something like interaction.acknowlege()

[loud quartz]

if that does what i think it does, that has been defunct in API for years

[wary coral]

An interaction must have a response.
reply
deferReply
showmodal
[for messages]
update
deferUpdate

Why do you want to not respond to the user? it is bad practice to not tell the user the action was completed

[civic jungle]

people just got used to it, its been 8 years since its like that

[wary coral]

so user press the button and a new message is sent in channel?

[civic jungle]

exactly, without any error

[wary coral]

you should use reply then
-# if async use deferReply then editReply once ready to send

[civic jungle]

when i do that in discord.js i got interaction failed, but message is sent though

[proud arrow]

That's most likely doing deferUpdate then not following up on that. Though that's bad practice to do it

[civic jungle]

dang it

[loud quartz]

if it does that (and it has to do that like that), then it's lying to you with it's name. it doesn't acknowledge, but lies to discord that you need more time to produce data to update the message with, and then you simply never do that

[civic jungle]

so, since interactions are available only for 15 minutes, i have to manually clear components from a message?

[tardy sable]

no. you only have 15 minutes to reply to the interaction

[bleak owl]

well, you have to reply within 3 seconds, but can extend the reply to 15 minutes with a deferReply. you can also edit up to 15 minutes after the interaction has been sent

[civic jungle]

so user can click on a button at any point in time, and bot will receive an event?

[loud quartz]

pressing a button creates a new interaction

[tardy sable]

yes, but i assume you have your buttons in a collector? move them to a client event if you want to use them for ever

[loud quartz]

which has its own 3 second reply time, and eventual 15 minute limit

[civic jungle]

I think I understand now, thx

very helpful community
didn't expect that

[azure forge]

How to make this pingable slash command?

[tardy sable]

see https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/1143952258321612922

[azure forge]

its been there since 2023..... 😭 I feel stupid, this one seems so convienent for the users-

[rustic willow]

not work select menus in embed it s out embed

@14.17.3

i want like this select menus

[sharp ginkgo]

guide suggestion for @rustic willow:
Display Components
While you might be familiar with embeds in Discord, there are more ways to style and format your apps messages using display components, a comprehensive set of layout and content elements. To use the display components, you need to pass the IsComponentsV2 message flag (in docs: MessageFlags) when sending a message. You only need to use this flag when sending a message using the display components system, not when deferring interaction responses.

documentation suggestion for @rustic willow:
ContainerBuilder#addActionRowComponents() discord.js@14.25.1
Adds action row components to this container.

[rustic willow]

thx work <3

[tardy sable]

this channel is for asking help, dont just send invites here

[sharp ginkgo]

The fetchReply option when replying to an interaction will be removed in v15.

- {..., fetchReply: true}
+ {..., withResponse: true}

```This returns an [InteractionCallbackResponse](https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/stable/InteractionCallbackResponse:Class)
Use `<InteractionCallbackResponse>.resource.message` to get the message

[loud quartz]

there's #app-commands for personal use, or the hide option

[severe pumice]

so uhm I’m having an issue one minute I’ll send over the error, if ya want code let me know what code ya want and I’ll send it over lol

and it is down (just stays down didn’t retry again)

[loud quartz]

Well, presumably how you create event listeners

[severe pumice]

whats confusing though is that this just started happening, it has not happened before now

[loud quartz]

Something has had to change

Not necessarily directly in your own code

[severe pumice]

alrighty wasnt sure what i should look for thanks!

[leaden wadi]

So I am running into an issue where if a server member uploads an audio file along with with some cover art with their song my bot can not detect if the image they uploaded is within the range we allow for that channel (100 pixels or less tall).

Here is the code that manages that little bit.

Can someone please tell me how I can fix this issue (the audio files being uploaded not breaking detection for an image larger then 100px) ?

const { cleanContent, channel, attachments } = message
    console.log(attachments.map(attachment => attachment.contentType))
    console.log(cleanContent)
    const urls = cleanContent.match(hasUrl)
    if (!urls) {
        tracer.log("No link = bad!")
        await reply(message, "Where's the link?! > _< (Make sure it starts with https://)")
        return true
    }

    const redirections = await Promise.all(urls?.map(async (url): Promise<string> => (await request(url)).headers.location as unknown as string ?? url))
    tracer.info(cleanContent)
    tracer.info(redirections)
    const sauce = redirections.some(redirection => redirection.match(hasSauce))
    console.log(sauce)
    const linebreaks = cleanContent.match(/\n/gm)
    const channelIsRecycledBeeps = channel.id === channels["recycled-beeps"]
    const longLink = urls?.some(url => url.length > 100)

    attachments.forEach(attachment => tracer.info(attachment.height))

    // checks if submission has one image or less, and if that image is 100px tall or less
    const twoAttachmentOrLess = attachments.size <= 2
    const oneImageOrLess = attachments.filter(attachment => attachment.contentType.match(/image\/.+/g)).size <= 1
    const oneAudioOrLess = attachments.filter(attachment => attachment.contentType.match(/audio\/.+/g)).size <= 1
    const attachmentReqs = attachments.size === 0 ? true : oneImageOrLess && oneAudioOrLess && attachments.some(attachment => attachment.height <= 100)
    const tooLong = cleanContent.length > 450
    const headerFormatting = cleanContent.match(hasHeaders)

[rose tangle]

filter returns an array, and an array is always truthy

regardless of size

you might want to use oneImageOrLess.length && oneAudioOrLess.length instead

ah nvm I misread the code

I think that should work then, place some logs to see where it fails

[leaden wadi]

this is the log I get when uploading a song with an audio and an image that is too tall

this is the issue bit

you can see it still sees the image and also sees that it is taller then 100 pixels, however it treats it as if everything is ok and continues

here is when there is just a link and an image that is too tall

[leaden wadi]

you can see that this works but if there is an audio uploaded with the message it does not work @rose tangle

[velvet cipher]

Won't attachments.some(attachment => attachment.height <= 100) always be true for audio uploads? Which means even if the image attachment fails the check, the result will be true since .some only needs one return to be true.

[warm charm]

hi, how i can fetch the discord channel comm log

Error handling component "confirm": DiscordAPIError[50074]: Cannot delete a channel required for community servers

[rose tangle]

do you want to fetch or delete?

you say you want to fetch, but your error says you tried to delete

[warm charm]

yes i want to fetch, if channel required ill throw error

[rose tangle]

which channel do you want to get? there's many community-related channels

also what's the error you shared, like I said it says you tried to delete a channel

is it completely unrelated to your question?

[warm charm]

this one

[warm charm]

yes im trying to fetch the channel, if not then it will delete

[rose tangle]

it will delete what?

[warm charm]

the channel

[rose tangle]

but you say you're trying to fetch it

and if you can't fetch it (there isn't one), it will delete it

what will you delete given in that scenario there's no channel?

[warm charm]

no i mean

first, ill fetch the channel i want, if the channel is required for community server, it will return a error (ill handle that), else ill delete it

[rose tangle]

ah, yeah that makes more sense

and you want to get the community channel to see if the one you have is that one so you don't delete it, right?

[warm charm]

yes

[rose tangle]

I think it's the publicUpdatesChannel

[sharp ginkgo]

Guild#publicUpdatesChannel discord.js@14.25.1
Public updates channel for this guild

[rose tangle]

check first just in case, unless someone else can confirm it

though consider that's not the only "protected" channel

I'd just check for #deletable

[sharp ginkgo]

GuildChannel#deletable discord.js@14.25.1
Whether the channel is deletable by the client user

[rose tangle]

that checks whether it's protected and you have enough perms

[warm charm]

alr imma try that, ty

[serene robin]

Does anyone know if it is better to use .addUserOption or .addMentionableOption?

[unique shoal]

What do you want it to accept?

Users, or all mentionables?

There is no "better", it depends what you want it to do

[serene robin]

It want it to accept a user for my warn command.

[unique shoal]

So use a user option

Why would you use mentionable and include roles?

[serene robin]

I don't know I would just wondering which I should use.

[unique shoal]

You want it to only accept users - use the user option

[balmy kraken]

can webhooks use display components?

[stable sun]

Yes

They just have to enable withComponents

[odd stirrup]

mentionable means it includes users and roles as options, and presumably you don't want the option to warn an entire role

[patent epoch]

is there a way to add multiple users to a thread at once?
I have a command that shows a button, everyone has a few seconds to click the button
then everyone who clicked the button needs to be added to a new thread

[loud quartz]

Mention them

[cobalt pendant]

const modal = new ModalBuilder()               .setCustomId("giveaway_modal_channel")
    .setTitle("Set Giveaway Channel");
const inp = new LabelBuilder({
                    label: "Channel",
                    description: "channel where this giveaway will be sent"
                });

                inp.setChannelSelectMenuComponent(
                    new ChannelSelectMenuBuilder()
                        .addChannelTypes(ChannelType.GuildText)
                )

                modal.addLabelComponents(inp);
                await interaction.showModal(modal);

why's this triggering sapphire's checking?

oh so I just have my bot post a msg with all the users tagged in it then?

[wary coral]

you need a customId on the select menu

[cobalt pendant]

oh i forgot 😭 thank you

[azure forge]

Does codeblock in embed message (footer) works?

[steel trail]

No

[azure forge]

I can't react to messages here but thanks 👍

[latent ember]

that would be it, yes.

[dire iris]

Just a question, how do I change the bot's avatar, bio and banner in my discord server with the new stuff discord brought out?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @dire iris:
GuildMemberManager#editMe() discord.js@14.25.1
Edits the current application's guild member in a guild.

[dire iris]

ty

[dire iris]

ty it works

[dire iris]

  await guild.members.editMe({
    avatar: imageUrl || null,
    reason: `Customization by ${interaction.user.tag}`
  });```

TypeError: guild.members.editMe is not a function
at handleAvatar (/home/container/commands/Slash/Utility/customise.ts:205:23)```

what could be the issue or do i have to make it by the api endpoint with the bot auth token?

[fresh condor]

what is guild ?

[dire iris]

that would be const guild = interaction.guild

[polar karma]

d.js version?

[dire iris]

Oh I see 😭 my d.js didnt updatee lol

[fresh condor]

what is your current version

[dire iris]

14.14.1

[rose tangle]

yeah you need at least 14.23, ideally latest

[dire iris]

yea- for some reason i need to improve my package updater lol. Normally it does it automatically but it didnt

[rose tangle]

I'd advise just updating manually

[dire iris]

alright thank you- it works

[dire iris]

I know but it does it auto with no issues and for some reason it didnt detect any lol

[steel trail]

auto with no issues
And yet you talk about an issue with it

[barren prawn]

did discord add frame decoration url yet? like get the gif url or something for users frame

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @barren prawn:
User#avatarDecorationURL() discord.js@14.25.1
A link to the user's avatar decoration.

[barren prawn]

Awesome, thanks

[noble turtle]

Is there an easy way to see who deleted or created a channel?

[tardy sable]

th easiest way is through the audit log

[noble turtle]

So I have to fetch audit log entries?

[tardy sable]

there is no other way i think

[tardy sable]

yes or by the client event

[sharp ginkgo]

Guild#fetchAuditLogs() discord.js@14.25.1
Fetches audit logs for this guild.

// Output audit log entries
guild.fetchAuditLogs()
  .then(audit => console.log(audit.entries.first()))
  .catch(console.error);

(event) Client#guildAuditLogEntryCreate discord.js@14.25.1
Emitted whenever a guild audit log entry is created.

[noble turtle]

Uh, none of those shows up in autocomplete after client.

(Yes, it's an instance of the Client class)

[tardy sable]

can you show your code

[noble turtle]

I define the client like this: ts const client = new Client({ intents: [ GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates, GatewayIntentBits.GuildPresences ], makeCache: Options.cacheEverything(), sweepers: Options.DefaultSweeperSettings, });

[tardy sable]

yes and then?

[steel trail]

One of them is a method on Guild, not client. The other is an event emitted by Client, not a property or method. So ofc neither shows in client.

[noble turtle]

Then I try doing client.channelUpdate but it's not a member of the class

[steel trail]

client.on('channelUpdate', ...)

[noble turtle]

Oh

[spice iris]

or use
client.on(Events.ChannelUpdate, .....)

[tiny condor]

Are member and user updates 100% or are there times they won't fire? I know they are eventual, I mean like firing at all

[rose tangle]

that depends on your intents and partials

[tiny condor]

This is what I have;

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
  ],
  partials: [Partials.User, Partials.GuildMember],
});

I am trying to listen to tag changes

[tiny condor]

Well

[proud arrow]

Guild member update should fire, though user update depends on if the user was cached as that is used to compare if anything changed in user object recieved from various events since discord only sends user update for the connected client and not anyone else's

[tiny condor]

I know, I listen to both

So there is no thing about member update events not firing sometimes

[proud arrow]

Guild member update will fire but you'll have to account for oldMember being partial

[tiny condor]

I don't use old member either

[tawny roost]

Hello 👋 ~~ I keep getting this error… Error and the related code is in the picture

[sharp ginkgo]

Common causes of DiscordAPIError[10062]: Unknown interaction:

• Initial response took more than 3 seconds ➞ defer the response *.
• Wrong interaction object inside a collector.
• Two processes handling the same command (the first consumes the interaction, so it won't be valid for the other instance)
  * Note: you cannot defer modal or autocomplete value responses

[tawny roost]

Thanks for replying. I deferred the interaction and that seemed to fix that issue, now it seems like i’m getting a “Request entity too large” 40005 Error

Is there a way i can look up errors returned by the discord API? Maybe the file i’m trying to send is too large?

[tardy sable]

yes the file youre sending is too large

[tawny roost]

Oh yeah, already fixed it, changed it to an image.
Sorry forgot to send a follow up.

[verbal plinth]

I have a general question about rate limits. Taking the route POST /guilds/123/channels as an example, can you apply a rate limit only to the guild, only to the route, or globally to the entire bot? How do you differentiate between these, and what is the best way to handle them?

Also, if I get a RateLimitError, should I stop requesting the entire route or only for this guild?

[loud quartz]

discord.js already handles the ratelimits, and all the info you need on how or why is in the data emitted along with the ratelimit event

alternatively, take a look through dapi docs

[verbal plinth]

where?

[verbal plinth]

Nevertheless, I would like to know how it works.

[loud quartz]

type rate into dapi docs search bar

[verbal plinth]

But how can it be that I get an infinity when using .limit on a RateLimitError?

If I have an infinite number of requests, then I can never reach them.

[loud quartz]

what did you get ratelimit on

or rather, the RateLimitError

[verbal plinth]

on POST /guilds/234/channels

[loud quartz]

then that would never have an Infinity as a limit

everything in discord has ratelimit

with one exception, namely the initial response to an interaction. that doesn't have a ratelimit but you can only ever do it once anyway

[loud quartz]

clearly it's not Infinity

if it's not you messing with the data, try asking in ddevs

it's not data d.js produces

and if you're wondering about the event itself

d.js fires the ratelimited event if a request you make gets queued by d.js in order to not get hit by a 429 from the API

doing one bulk delete should emit it as you can do it once per x time

doing second one would be queued based on the ratelimit data returned from the first request

[serene robin]

Hello, I need help with one of my events not working properly. The code will be below.

const { log } = require('../utility/logger.js')
const { 
    EmbedBuilder,
    WebhookClient,
    PermissionsBitField,
    MessageFlags
} = require('discord.js')
const config = require('../config.json')

const gfx = new WebhookClient({ url: config.webhooks.gfx })
const custom = new WebhookClient({ url: config.webhooks.custom })
const premade = new WebhookClient({ url: config.webhooks.premade })

module.exports = {
    name: 'messageCreate',
    async execute(message) {
        if (message.content === "=gfx") {
            await message.delete().catch(() => {})

            if (!message.member.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.Administrator)) {
                return;
            }

            const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
                .setTitle('GFX')
                .setDescription('GFX')
                .setColor(config.colorHex)

            return await gfx.send({
                username: 'GFX',
                avatarURL: config.avatarURL,
                embeds: [embed]
            })
        }
        if (message.content === "=custom") {
            await message.delete().catch(() => {})

            if (!message.member.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.Administrator)) {
                return;
            }
        }
        if (message.content === "=premade") {
            await message.delete().catch(() => {})

            if (!message.member.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.Administrator)) {
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}```

[loud quartz]

and what about it doesn't work

[serene robin]

There is no reply and my message doesn't delete. Nothing in the console also.

[loud quartz]

do you have the message and message content intents?

also, it's not surprising nothing logs if you intentionally swallow errors with the empty blocks in catch()

instead of swallowing errors, check if your bot has permission to delete the message

[serene robin]

GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent & GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages?

[loud quartz]

yeah

[serene robin]

could u give an example on how to do that?

[loud quartz]

literally like you're already checking if the message sender has a permission

just check on different member and with different permission

you can access your bot's member via guild.members.me

[tardy sable]

kinda new to collectors but if i do createMessageComponentCollector on a message. the collector only applies to that message right? not that im gonna have dupe interactions with another collector

[loud quartz]

as its name and what you call it on would suggest, yes

[tardy sable]

ok thanks and what exactly is dispose? the doc doesnt make it clear for me

[loud quartz]

afaia it doesn't do anything for components/interactions, but it's a base collector option for listening and emitting removals

message and reaction collectors can use that

in case someone reacts and unreacts

[tardy sable]

oh okay i see

[serene robin]

i did this but it still dont work i added a console.log before deleting and it didnt log anything

[loud quartz]

did you enable the intents?

[serene robin]

yes

[loud quartz]

is the bot in the server and does it have permissions to see messages in the channel you're sending messages in?

[serene robin]

yes it has administrator

[loud quartz]

how are you registering the events

[serene robin]

like the code?

for (const file of fs.readdirSync("./events")) {
    const event = require(`./events/${file}`);
    client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(client, ...args));
}```

[loud quartz]

if you put a log as the first line in the event, before any ifs, does it log at all?

[serene robin]

yes

[loud quartz]

well, then log the content to see why your if doesn't work

[serene robin]

i put a hey before any ifs and a here after the if and the here didnt log

[loud quartz]

you just said it logs

if it doesn't log, are you running the code? are you using correct token?

okay, sorry i misread

if the here didn't log it means that the if is working as designed - the condition wasn't true

so you need to check why is the condition not true while you think it should be

log what it's trying to check

so you see why it doesn't work

[serene robin]

is it supposed to be === or =?

[sharp ginkgo]

In JavaScript, = is used for assignment, == for loose equality, and === for strict equality checks.

x = 1; // assigning a value to x
'1' == 1 // true
'1' === 1 // false

• Equality and sameness in JavaScript: learn more

[serene robin]

i dont understand

[bleak owl]

which part?

[serene robin]

would it be true or false in my situation?

[loud quartz]

this is just example

but for if to work the condition has to be true

this is very basic stuff, not even really javascript specific

[serene robin]

huh

[loud quartz]

what does your if do

it checks if message content is something

since the if doesn't run

the message content is not that something

check what it actually is

[serene robin]

how would i do that?

[loud quartz]

by using console.log() and putting inside what you want to log

did you write that code at all

[serene robin]

so like console.log(message.content)?

[loud quartz]

yes

[serene robin]

before or inside the if?

[loud quartz]

this is genuinely basic programming at the moment

you have already established the if doesn't enter

i'm giving you extreme amounts of handholding for this code you hadn't written yourself

[serene robin]

ok

[serene robin]

how do u think i didnt write it myself?

[tiny condor]

because you don't even know how to log

[loud quartz]

1. you're using if blocks without any understanding how they work. specifically, you cannot even tell what an already written if actually does
2. you have no idea how to log
3. you continuously ask if you should add code in blocks you already know that don't run
4. you asked how to check permission despite doing it 3 times in the code you sent

[serene robin]

oh alr

[loud quartz]

#rules 3

[serene robin]

ok

is my understanding not solid?

[loud quartz]

it's really not enough

anyway

i'm done here

i tried enough

[solar furnace]

hi any idea why interaction.member.username is returning undefined?

[ruby bane]

because interaction.member.username doesnt exist, either youre looking for GuildMember#nickname / displayName, or just use interaction.user.username

[serene robin]

oh ok

[jagged rock]

whats the best way to auto translate replys to other languages

[loud quartz]

writing the code that does it

[ruby bane]

an external api

[loud quartz]

it's not related to discord.js, that's for sure

also machine translations will be shit

[jagged rock]

in the doc it is

[ruby bane]

are you referring to the translations for commands because thats not the same thing

[loud quartz]

d.js takes content for responding or translated strings for command names and descriptions

it has nothing to do with generating any translations

it's just strings

"yes", "tak", "asiudhsi" are all just strings, just that people give meanings to the first two

[ruby bane]

nor can you receive the translations from your bot and send them to users in other languages

[solar furnace]

thanks! :D

[jagged rock]

so jsut use json fules then

[loud quartz]

how you store and pass the translations is up to you

[ruby bane]

i mean that would likely be the easiest way apart from external ones yes

since you can both use that as the translation data sent to discord and also access it yourself

[serene robin]

should i come back for help once i learn?

[loud quartz]

absolutely, we're here to help

but you need to actually understand what we're saying and know how to apply it on your end

[ruby bane]

no ones stopping you from getting help now, the issue is that theres a line drawn between "I dont understand the library" and "i dont understand programming at all" and youve gotta cross the latter before worrying about the former

trust me, if you search old messages here, i was also in your boat at one point, take some time to read the MDN docs, learn about how JS works and mess around (or just browse #resources) and come back stronger with basic programming topics and some more "advanced js" (async js/promises, thenables, etc)

[serene robin]

i see

[serene robin]

does anyone know how hide slash commands from people without certain permissions?

[sharp ginkgo]

SlashCommandBuilder#setDefaultMemberPermissions() discord.js@14.25.1
Sets the default permissions a member should have in order to run the command.

[rose tangle]

like the name and description say, it's a default value, so a guild admin can override it (for that guild)

if you want something hardcoded you'd need a runtime check, but the member would still be able to see it

unlike the "native" feature

[serene robin]

k

[proud shoal]

Does the following no longer work? As it worked before for me to add attachments.

async function sendLog(intr: ChatInputCommandInteraction, videoId: VideoId, history: RelayedComment[]): Promise<void> {
  const start = await getStartTime(videoId)
  const tlLog = await filterAndStringifyHistory(intr, history, start)
  const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder().setFileData(Buffer.from(tlLog)).setFilename(`${videoId}.txt`)
  await intr.editReply({
    content: localeText(LOG_FOUND(videoId), intr.locale),
    embeds: [],
    files: [attachment],
  })
}

Gives the following error in VSC:
Type 'AttachmentBuilder' is not assignable to type 'Attachment | AttachmentPayload | BufferResolvable | FileBodyEncodable<APIAttachment> | Stream'. Type 'AttachmentBuilder' is missing the following properties from type 'Buffer<ArrayBufferLike>': slice, subarray, write, equals, and 101 more.

edit: figured it out, was on V15 branch testing some newer code. got it working again.

[coral maple]

Is Component v2 incompatible with webhooks? I’m getting the "Cannot send empty message" error when I try to use Component v2 in a webhook

[novel mauve]

you need to pass with_components=true to the url

[coral maple]

at the end of the url?

[novel mauve]

yes

[wary coral]

it is a Query String Param

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @coral maple:
Webhook Resource - Execute Webhook POST webhooks/{webhook.id}/{webhook.token}
Refer to Uploading Files for details on attachments and multipart/form-data requests. Returns a message or 204 No Content depending on the wait query parameter.

WebhookMessageCreateOptions#withComponents discord.js@14.25.1
Whether to allow sending non-interactive components in the message. For application-owned webhooks, this property is ignored

[coral maple]

thanks

[gleaming radish]

in the editMe method, if a bot restarted, do I need to re-run the editMe or it's persistent?

[snow onyx]

it persists

[gleaming radish]

alright, thanks!

[sleek mural]

Is there a way to see who removed reactions from a message? Like remove other people's not their own

[sharp ginkgo]

Message#reactions discord.js@14.25.1
A manager of the reactions belonging to this message

documentation suggestion for @sleek mural:
ReactionManager#removeAll() discord.js@14.25.1
Removes all reactions from a message.

[sleek mural]

What about to see who did it?

[wary coral]

ohh I have know idea not realy a djs question. best to ask on DDevs

[sleek mural]

Alright thanks

[cobalt valley]

is it possible to change bot's avatar and banner per guild not globally in discord.js?

[sharp ginkgo]

GuildMemberManager#editMe() discord.js@14.25.1
Edits the current application's guild member in a guild.

[jolly radish]

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'displayAvatarURL')

Why do I get such error from the GuildMember? A GuildMember no longer has displayAvatarURL?

[bleak owl]

can you show your code?

[woeful hamlet]

As far as I can tell, setDefaultMemberPermissions() only applies at the top-level command and can’t be configured per subcommand.

If a command has multiple subcommands—some intended for regular members and others restricted to staff—is the only way to handle this to do permission checks at runtime? In other words, there’s no way to hide specific subcommands from users without the required permissions like setDefaultMemberPermissions() does at the command level, correct?

[bleak owl]

correct

[jolly radish]

   const [challengerAvatar, opponentAvatar] = await Promise.all([
        loadImage(challenger.displayAvatarURL({ extension: "png", size: 256 })),
        loadImage(opponent.displayAvatarURL({ extension: "png", size: 256 })),
    ]);

challenger and opponent are both type GuildMember

[bleak owl]

are you sure? did you try logging them?

[jolly radish]

yeah I did

[strange turret]

quick question : /avatar <image> these commands for per guild personalization do call discord api?

[bleak owl]

what?

[strange turret]

and what if we want to have that option in a web dashboard?

[bleak owl]

i dont understand you

[wary coral]

could you share the full error stack

[strange turret]

so think of it like i want in my web dashboard of bot, guild owners set a custom name for bot, how in discord that bot name will change?

[jolly radish]

I removed .user before the displayAvatarURL and now it keeps giving:

[bleak owl]

this is in regards to discord.js ?

[strange turret]

quick question...

[woeful hamlet]

Can you show the code where you’re obtaining challenger and opponent?

[bleak owl]

do you have a question about discord.js? or about your web dashboard?

[strange turret]

both, i want like user should be able to set bot custom name from discord commands or even through web dashboard

so how i do it?

[bleak owl]

i can't help with your web dashboard, that's something you need to figure out

[sharp ginkgo]

GuildMemberManager#editMe() discord.js@14.25.1

        if (!guildOpponent) return;

const challenger = context.member;

challenger is taken from the context and opponent from the mention

[strange turret]

i mean like im asking simple flow
Admin in Website set avatar -> direct call to api, instant pfp set
in commands -> direct call to api
is it the right flow, or..? i need to read from db after eveyr x time

[tiny condor]

You wouldn't set it through commands, your API would run a method to set the profile

[strange turret]

you mean we cant through discord?

[halcyon bison]

just to answer your original question directly
no, neither <GuildMember>.displayAvatarURL() nor <User>.displayAvatarURL() have been removed
your original error and the subsequent error suggest that challenger is not a GuildMember
you showed a log of an object that, while at first glance does appear to contain member data, I worry isn't actually a GuildMember object and could have through some means been stripped of its class (whatever system by which you're receiving this context)

[tiny condor]

You can do both, I'm just saying you don't need to run a command to set the pfp just have a method that you can run both from your command and also from your dashboard when needed through the API

You should start it and test it then ask in #1081585952654360687 for further help with it

[jolly radish]

well I updated the challenger to this: const challenger = await context.guild.members.fetch(getContextUserID(context)); which does return a GuildMember and still it gives same error

[halcyon bison]

could you log challenger.constructor.name?
(to be specific, please log it directly before the erroring line)

[strange turret]

ok just correct me if i'm wrong

Set pfp to A from webdashboard -> api does it and saves pfp A to db also
set pfp to B through discord command -> api does it and updates the db to that new pfp B

if bot restart, it will read db and will set auto

[tiny condor]

You don't need to save the pfp to your database, just pass it through the API to your method, not sure why you are involving the db

[strange turret]

restart...?

[tiny condor]

Also again, just start it and see how far you get and ask in #1081585952654360687

[jolly radish]

it returns object because the GuildMember is passed thru an api request

[tiny condor]

? Since when does discord reset your guild profile when you restart your app

[halcyon bison]

then it's not a GuildMember

[jolly radish]

so after it passed thru network request to the api its no longer GuildMember, it can access the ids and all but not functions and etc?

[strange turret]

i assumed lol, but user in dsahbord set to pfp a, but when he refresh the website, then that pfp wont show in db, which acutally sucks, or is there a way we can fetch it also through api, the pfp of bot in that specific guild?

[halcyon bison]

yes, json doesn't contain functions
functions aren't sent via http requests

[woeful hamlet]

correct. it becomes a plain json obj

[tiny condor]

Yes? get the bot members pfp like how you get the server's pfp

[jolly radish]

So I should basically instead of the GuildMember send the url instantly

[strange turret]

okkkkk thank youuuu

[woeful hamlet]

if all you need is the image

[jolly radish]

oh and the user username, I will also pass that with a list for each user so the list contains the id and image

[tiny condor]

if all you need is the username and image and id, don't pass the entire guildmember

[jolly radish]

Okay! Thank you all!

[strange turret]

faseeeeee, can you send the docs link, for seting custom pfp/banner/about me/ pfp for bot from website

From a website is an OAuth process...and DJS doesn't handle oauth... Just gateway routes

[strange turret]

what you trynna say ahm..

[ivory valve]

Hey, quick question: is it okay to run a Discord bot in a web app to retrieve channels and roles from a server, for example, or would it be better to use an external backend?

[tiny condor]

You need to authenticate the user on your website dashboard, then send an api request to your bot's code to update the profile

[tiny condor]

It would be best for you to simply use oauth2

[strange turret]

yep, like its obvious every dashboard do need users to login

[tiny condor]

So then what is the question here?

[ivory valve]

Let's say I have my 0auth2 configured, my user can log in with their account, and I have access to these servers and their permissions. Would I then need to go through the API?

[tiny condor]

Tbh you could do it with both, after they auth, you could get the channels with the bot or from the API
I think bot would be the best way to access it

[proud arrow]

You can use bot token to query the api on the server side, not sure what's the confusion is. As long as bot can access the channels

Though you need to make sure you do it on the server side and not expose your bot's token to the client side

[ivory valve]

So ideally, I would need a backend with a bot running to execute these kinds of requests?

[tiny condor]

Of course

[ivory valve]

Thanks!

    if (name) memberPayload.nick = name;
    if (aboutMe) memberPayload.bio = aboutMe;
    
    if (avatarUrl) {
        const avatarData = await getImageDataUri(avatarUrl);
        if (avatarData) memberPayload.avatar = avatarData;
    }
    
    if (bannerUrl) {
        const bannerData = await getImageDataUri(bannerUrl);
        if (bannerData) memberPayload.banner = bannerData;
    }
