Why don’t you use edit

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

Sounds good 💯

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

thorn tulip Why don’t you use edit

it's on edit now

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

can you send actual code?

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:11 PM

#

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, messageLink, Discord, ConnectionService, IntentsBitField, OverwriteType } = require("discord.js")

// Client Control

const client=new Client({
    restRequestTimeout: 120000,
    intents:[
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,//adds server functionality
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, //gets messages from our bot.
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers
    ]
});

// SQL Init
var db;

// General Variables and Functions

var TOKEN = '~~~'; // Will .env this at some point
var DEBUG = false;

function getEpoch(){
    var DATE = new Date()
    return Math.floor(DATE.getTime() / 1000);
}

// Server functions

async function addUserToChannel(member, guild, channelId){
  var myChannel = await guild.channels.cache.get(channelId);
  await myChannel.permissionOverwrites.edit(member, {
    'ViewChannel': true,
    'SendMessages': true,
  }, OverwriteType.Member);

  var perms = await myChannel.permissionOverwrites.cache.get(member.id);
  console.log("Added to server: " + member.user.tag + " to " + myChannel.name + " with perms: " + perms);
}

// Client Events

client.on("ready", () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('guildMemberAdd', async member => {
  addUserToChannel(member, member.guild, "1052526652707586068");
});

That should be all the relevant stuff

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

are you sure #1052526652707586068 is thing?

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

what do you mean?

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

I mean 1052526652707586068

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

yeah, definitely is since it can find it for myChannel

thorn tulip Dec 14, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

How do you know though

#

Isn’t overwritesOptions an object too

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

btw I'm sure it will throw error if don't find anything in cache

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

thorn tulip Isn’t overwritesOptions an object too

optional

thorn tulip Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

It just returns undefined if it’s not in the cache

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

oh wait really

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

it logs:

Added to server: Tobys578_#9323 to first-landing with perms: 817414141471752308

thorn tulip Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

Just doesn’t change permissions?

#

What are you using for “member”

turbid boltBOT Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

method PermissionOverwrites#edit()

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:15 PM

it looks like role perms

#

I think they are a bit different

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:17 PM

#

I'm thinking it might be to do with this tbh, should @ everyone be overriding the member's specific perms like that?

candid gazelle Dec 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

nah it shouldn't, everyone aught to be above I would have thought...

#

Strange that

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

hidden elbow I'm thinking it might be to do with this tbh, should @ everyone be overriding th...

members are under any role(iirc)

#

also it will be changed anyway

#

just with no effect

candid gazelle Dec 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

yeah I thought so, I mean Toby578 doesn't have a role, but I thought the user's specific perms should overwrite everyone

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

was it even changed? do you see changes in ui?

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:19 PM

#

magic basin was it even changed? do you see changes in ui?

can't get it to change 😄

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:19 PM

#

try to do as was said a lot messages ago, change options to object

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:20 PM

#

How do you mean? Sorry js isn't my main language 😂

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:20 PM

#

wait

#

I'm confused..

#

Oh I see nvm

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

join the club XD

thorn tulip Dec 14, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

{type: <type> }

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

<Object>: { key: value }
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/typedef/GuildChannelOverwriteOptions

#

as you see above it takes object of type and reason

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

you mean

ViewChannel: true

instead of

'ViewChannel': true ```
?

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

both are optional

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

hidden elbow you mean ```js ViewChannel: true ``` instead of ```js 'ViewChannel': true ``` ?

nope, it does same thing

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

thought so

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

your last argument in function

#

  await myChannel.permissionOverwrites.edit(member, {
    'ViewChannel': true,
    'SendMessages': true,
  }, OverwriteType.Member);

#

first is member, second is <Object>: {...} and third is OverwriteType

thorn tulip Dec 14, 2022, 1:23 PM

#

Didn’t I say that lol

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:23 PM

#

oh yeah, I chucked OverwriteType in and it had no effect

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:23 PM

#

but should be <Object>: {type: <value>}

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

thorn tulip Didn’t I say that lol

yeah, I told that it was said a lot messages above

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

right

thorn tulip Dec 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

Ah

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

magic basin but should be `<Object>`: `{type: <value>}`

so OverwriteType : { Member: 1 } ? 😄

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:25 PM

#

Thonk definitely not

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:25 PM

#

😂

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:25 PM

magic basin ```js await myChannel.permissionOverwrites.edit(member, { 'ViewChannel': t...

Last argument is { type, reason } object iirc

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:25 PM

#

yea https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/typedef/GuildChannelOverwriteOptions

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:25 PM

#

shall I just remove the last argument? it seems to do nothing for this case...

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

{type: <OvewriteType>}

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

ohhhhhh

#

got it

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:26 PM

#

hidden elbow shall I just remove the last argument? it seems to do nothing for this case...

its optional but can't be sure why is there type option, it makes sence if it changes something

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

It's there so cache check is skipped

#

if not provided, it checks cache and if no role or member is found in cache, it throws an error

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

ah I see

#

but user from event should be auto cached

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:28 PM

#

Good practice to use that anyways imo

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:28 PM

#

Yeah no change, which I guess with that reason it's not to be expected

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:28 PM

#

d.js has to try to set it internally if you don't (by checking cache and seeing what the snowflake represents)

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

No chance it would have anything to do with the fact I've joined on the same account before?

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:31 PM

#

hidden elbow ```js const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, messageLink, Discord, ConnectionService...

tbh I can't see that permissionOverwrites.cache returns collection of bitfields as value.. it seems to return PermissionOverwrites as value

#

if it is so why does it return 817414141471752308 then

#

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

That would be the user the overwrite is for

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

817414141471752308

#

yeah that's right

#

just copied the id just now

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

but why not exactly overwrite?

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

what?

turbid boltBOT Dec 14, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

property PermissionOverwriteManager#cache
The cache of this Manager

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

The overwrite id is the id of the user/role

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

cache is Collection <Snowflake, PermissionOverwrites>

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

Yeah, the .id is the user or role id

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:34 PM

#

but myChannel.permissionOverwrites.cache.get(member.id); returns snowflake

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

hmm, where do they say that?

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

console.log("Added to server: " + member.user.tag + " to " + myChannel.name + " with perms: " + perms);

Added to server: Tobys578_#9323 to first-landing with perms: 817414141471752308

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

magic basin > `console.log("Added to server: " + member.user.tag + " to " + myChannel.name +...

It's not returning a snowflake

#

They're stringifying it

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

ah

#

wait stringfy returns id?

turbid boltBOT Dec 14, 2022, 1:36 PM

Yes

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:38 PM

#

andddd

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

send actual code

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

it's randomly started working

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

HMMM

#

maybe you forgot to save?)

#

it can't just randomly start..

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

don't think so 😂

#

yeah

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

randomly started working
sounds like cache issue still

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

magic basin it can't just randomly start..

one of the changes must have not saved I guess

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

Then save it

#

Or send the updated code

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

if it's really cache issue, it can happen again

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

async function addUserToChannel(member, guild, channelId){
  var myChannel = await guild.channels.cache.get(channelId);
  await myChannel.permissionOverwrites.edit(member, {
    'ViewChannel': true,
    'SendMessages': true,
  }, { type: OverwriteType.Member, reason: "Things and Stuff" });

  var perms = await myChannel.permissionOverwrites.cache.get(member.id);
  console.log("Added to server: " + member.user.tag + " to " + myChannel.name + " with perms: " + perms);
}

// Client Events

client.on("ready", () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('guildMemberAdd', async member => {
  addUserToChannel(member, member.guild, "1052526652707586068");
});

Anyway there's the full code if anyone else is searching the server for it

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

magic basin if it's really cache issue, it can happen again

yeah that is a worry

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

hidden elbow yeah that is a worry

with { type:<value> } it shouldn't be

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

maybe that's what fixed it then

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

all other things as I see always cached/caches when you need it

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

change just didn't save properly

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:41 PM

#

So you didn't save, it broke
Now you saved, and it works?

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:42 PM

#

worked after I changed it to perms.PermissionOverrides and then back so yeah, must have missed saving it or my server cached it somehow before that

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:43 PM

#

Thonk

#

perms.PermissionOverrides?

#

doesn't exist

hidden elbow Dec 14, 2022, 1:43 PM

#

yeah

#

that was just me messing around when we realised perms was returning the id

magic basin Dec 14, 2022, 1:44 PM

mdn Object.prototype.valueOf()
The valueOf() method of Object converts the this value to an object. This method is meant to be overridden by derived objects for custom type conversion logic.

mental hatch Dec 14, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

Yeah if you go into source and look at Base class (which PermissionOverwrites extends), you'll see valueOf() returns the id
