#

well make sure you're in the right directory

carmine nacelle Jul 18, 2023, 7:18 PM

#

and make sure you actually typed the file name correctly

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:18 PM

#

the file name is Gentlemen Bot

carmine nacelle Jul 18, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

then you typed the filename incorrectly

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

i put GentlemenBot.js

carmine nacelle Jul 18, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

you didn't

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

jolly bridge i put GentlemenBot.js

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:20 PM

#

carmine nacelle Jul 18, 2023, 7:21 PM

#

you're missing the actual command node now...

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:21 PM

#

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:21 PM

#

...

carmine nacelle Jul 18, 2023, 7:21 PM

#

...

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:21 PM

#

you just forgot to put node

#

just do like you did before but with the right filename

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:23 PM

#

so node.GentlemenBot.js ???

#

or nodeGentlemenBot.js

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:24 PM

#

are you even trying at this point

#

you literally did it before

#

node <yourfile>.js

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:24 PM

#

i did

#

i literally did

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

and did it work

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

no

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

and what error did you get

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:26 PM

#

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:26 PM

#

are you even reading waht i say

#

there needs to be a space, node filename.js

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:27 PM

#

module not found

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:27 PM

#

show your file structure

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:28 PM

#

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

you need to run index.js

#

and you just leaked your token. reset it

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

alright

#

i reset it

#

rn

#

so i need to run the index correct?

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

yes

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

in the terminal

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

yes

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

i did that and a error pops up

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

which error

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

it says index.js is not recognized

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:32 PM

#

did you prefix it with node? We've literally just been over this

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:32 PM

#

yes and it says absolutly nothing

#

just goes to the next line

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:33 PM

#

and do you have anything in your code that would log something

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:33 PM

#

not atm would you want to see the full code?

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:33 PM

#

well then of course you wont get any output

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:34 PM

#

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:34 PM

#

that activity setter is wrong thats one thing

#

and does the bot show up as online

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:35 PM

#

thats what this code is for to make it online

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:35 PM

#

also access the client from the param that is passed in the ready event

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:35 PM

#

so no not yet

#

wdym?

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:35 PM

#

ready passes in a client parameter, use that to set the activity

#

and can you run npm ls discord.js

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:36 PM

#

dawn lion and can you run npm ls discord.js

i ran it in terminal

#

and what is wrong about the activity setter?

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:36 PM

#

and what did it output

vapid sparrowBOT Jul 18, 2023, 7:37 PM

#

method ClientUser#setActivity()
Sets the activity the client user is playing.

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

and now what?

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

Yeah

#

I highly doubt your code is saved at all

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:55 PM

#

how?

dawn lion Jul 18, 2023, 7:55 PM

#

Its require, not Require, which would throw an error

#

please just check out #resources

jolly bridge Jul 18, 2023, 7:55 PM

#

ok

#node .
