[woeful anchor]

Do you have discord running on that PC?

[sand narwhal]

web

@woeful anchor

[woeful anchor]

So no… there’s your issue

[sand narwhal]

@woeful anchor

[woeful anchor]

There’s literally no reason to ping me in a post I already joined…

[sand narwhal]

ok

[woeful anchor]

And yes, RPC works with discord app

[sand narwhal]

okay

I’m guessing you wanted to call your function called setActivity instead of setActive. You must learn the basics of JavaScript before doing anything. (Well really programming since anyone with compsci knowledge would know that variable no exist in code snippet)

[sand narwhal]

sorry

[dawn junco]

Don’t be sorry, everyone starts somewhere

[sand narwhal]

thx it worked

[dawn junco]

np, but you should really learn what you’re actually doing
