Structures is not in v14

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:36 AM

#

Well put simply, you can't. Fire is using an old and terrible system called structures to do that. Geek is currently "maintaining" (not really) a fork of v13 to do that. I'm quite literally in the process of making PR to completely remove that because its not sustainable.

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:37 AM

#

so ur saying they forked and made theyr own version of djs?

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:38 AM

#

That seems to be the case

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:39 AM

#

well thats a bit sad

#

is there a probable way of doing it on mine?

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:40 AM

#

No, the problem has to be fixed in their fork

#

Unless you can ts-ignore it, not sure if that’s allowed

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:41 AM

#

how do u ts-ignore a private class

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:41 AM

#

Js doesn’t care, only ts does

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:41 AM

#

Kinect they're trying to do structures in v14

#

not off geeks fork

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:42 AM

#

Structures was imported from their fork

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:42 AM

#

okay so
by just doing //@ts-ignore it seems to work

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:42 AM

#

that won't work, you're extending the class but none of djs will use that extended class

#

so it doesn't actually do you any good

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:43 AM

#

sorry what?

#

wait

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:43 AM

#

I can’t guarantee it'll work bc it’s not our official build

#

Structures was removed in v13

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:44 AM

#

Kinect they're trying to do this on bare 14.0.3

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:44 AM

#

Wouldn’t importing Structures be an error then?

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:44 AM

#

that's fire's code

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:44 AM

#

Oh

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:46 AM

#

high narwhal sorry what?

When djs constructs a new Guild() its constructing just that, it doesn't know that you've extend and doesn't care, so the class you actually see everywhere where you can get a guild from djs is still the original

#

(this is why structures were dropped, maintenance on things like that is extremely hard)

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:46 AM

#

so i would extend theyr interaction to and make the guild in there

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:47 AM

#

and how does djs know about your extended interaction class then?

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:48 AM

#

and then i can use the functions like in interactionCreate to put like below

client.on('interactionCreate', (interaction) => {interactionHandler(interaction)}) 

function interactionHandler (interaction: myInteraction) {

}

#

would this work?

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:49 AM

#

the much easier (and easier to maintain) way to do this is a getGuild() function or something similar. Anywhere where you would've wanted to do <guild>.tickets you can instead to getTickets(guild)

#

oh..yeah

#

that

#

patent urchin the much easier (and easier to maintain) way to do this is a getGuild() functio...

i tried this but my inner self simply hates it for some reason

#

therefor i want to try extending the guild

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:49 AM

#

BaseInteraction has subclasses

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:50 AM

#

bcs for some reason it looks cleaner

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:50 AM

#

broken skiff BaseInteraction has subclasses

so i would need to extend the Subclasses too?

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:50 AM

#

and those sub classes extends BaseInteraction, not ur extended class

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:51 AM

#

then you can do guild = makeGuild(djsguild) everywhere you need to access your custom properties, to make a custom guild class (wouldn't need to extend)

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:52 AM

#

high narwhal so i would need to extend the Subclasses too?

That’s alot of work just to get that working, also considering the potential maintenance

high narwhal Aug 13, 2022, 8:53 AM

#

okay so im now not going to do this

#

but i wonder would they add something that would enable us (the users / devs) in doing this type of stuff

#

bcs it is a sick idea

broken skiff Aug 13, 2022, 8:54 AM

#

It’s actually a bad idea, esp bc you don’t control nor create these structures

lunar forum Aug 13, 2022, 8:54 AM

#

The idea is fucked mate

patent urchin Aug 13, 2022, 8:54 AM

#

we had it in the past. It was removed because it became infeasible to maintain and support
