How is that related to djs whatsoever

#

What are you trying to achieve within djs

#

lethal birch How is that related to djs whatsoever

because it shows what I am trying to do which is figure out how to do the same thing in discord js (GuildScheduledEventManager)

#

but I think I may have finally found a way to do it

scenic plank because it shows what I am trying to do which is figure out how to do the same t...

That’s not even djs though

#

That’s discordnet or whatever that is

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

it was to show the idea of what I wanted to see what djs could possibly do

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

That’s not even javascript lmao

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

which ultimately led me to this ``` const guildID = process.env.GUILD_ID;
const guild = interaction.client.guilds.cache.find(guildID);

if (!guild)
  return console.log('Guild not found');

const event_manager = new GuildScheduledEventManager(guild);

await event_manager.create({
  name: 'Test Event',
  scheduledStartTime: new Date(1687284000000),
  privacyLevel: GuildScheduledEventPrivacyLevel.GuildOnly,
  entityType: GuildScheduledEventEntityType.Voice,
  description: 'This is a test Scheduled Event',
  channel: '1118952214774419569',
  image: null,
  reason: 'Testing with creating a Scheduled Event',
});```

class Client (extends BaseClient)
The main hub for interacting with the Discord API, and the starting point for any bot.

#

Look at the events section

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

lethal birch That’s not even javascript lmao

correct, again that was to show what I wanted to do in it

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

That’ll show all of the events with parameters

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:49 PM

#

scenic plank which ultimately led me to this ``` const guildID = process.env.GUILD_ID; ...

That’s not how you access the manager

cinder steepleBOT Jul 30, 2023, 9:49 PM

#

property Guild#scheduledEvents
A manager of the scheduled events of this guild

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:50 PM

#

You don’t make new managers, you access the property from where it’s coming from

#

<interaction>.user, <message>.author, <Client>.users etc

#

And find takes a function, not a key

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 9:51 PM

#

So there isnt a way in djs to actually create new events?

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

Wdym by a new event, a new GuildScheduledEvent?

#

Ofc there is

cinder steepleBOT Jul 30, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

property Guild#scheduledEvents
A manager of the scheduled events of this guild

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

yes, that is what I am trying to do

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

Check this

#

https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/discord.js/14.11.0/class/GuildScheduledEventManager?scrollTo=create

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.

#

You access the manager by grabbing the guild, <client>.guilds.cache.get(id) then accessing the manager on that guild if it’s exists

#

All Guilds are cached if you have the Guilds intent

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

ah okay, let me look a tad more, making progress just got ReferenceError: GuildScheduledEventManager is not defined which is further than I was

#

    console.log(guild, "bob");
    if (!guild)
      return console.log('Guild not found');

    const event_manager = new GuildScheduledEventManager(guild);```

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

Do you even have a valid logged in client?

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

yep

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

Then use it

#

again

#

.find() takes a function

#

guild.scheduledEvents

#

Is the manager

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

oh so did GuildScheduledEventManager get replaced?

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

Nope, why would it? Lol

#

You don’t make new managers like that, you access the managers on a property

scenic plank Jul 30, 2023, 10:02 PM

#

ah okay, sorry still trying to wrap my head aroound this. It is all still new to me

lethal birch Jul 30, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

It’s all good
