don't know how to go about getting rid of this

[blissful laurel]

i'm not sure what to put in my memberActivity?.name field to make it show whatever the user is playing other than "custom status" when they have a custom status, but are actually playing another game. this is the setup of that part:

const memberInfo = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setAuthor({ name: `${isUser.username} is ${memberStatus}!`, iconURL: statuses[memberStatus] })
            .setTitle(bold(activities[memberActivity?.type[0]] || 'playing ') + italic(bold(memberActivity?.name || 'nothing')))
            .setDescription('\n')
            .setColor(0x2d251f)
            .setThumbnail(`${isUser.displayAvatarURL()}`)
            .setDescription('\n')
            .addFields(
                { name: bold('ID:'), value: `${isUser.id}` },
                { name: bold('Nickname:'), value: `${isMember.nickname || 'none'}` },
                { name: bold('Joined: '), value: dayjs(`${isMember.joinedAt}`).format('<t:X>') },
                { name: bold('Created:'), value: dayjs(`${isUser.createdAt}`).format('<t:X>') })
            .setFooter({ text: `Requested by ${isUser.username}`, iconURL: `${isUser.displayAvatarURL()}` });
        if (memberStatus === 'dnd') {
            memberInfo.setAuthor({ name: `${isUser.username} is on ` + memberStatus.toUpperCase() + '!', iconURL: statuses[memberStatus] });
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [memberInfo], content: `${defaultMsg}` });
        }
        else if (memberStatus) {
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [memberInfo], content: `${defaultMsg}` });
        }
        else if (memberActivity.type[4]) {
            memberInfo.setDescription(memberActivity?.type[4].state);
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [memberInfo], content: `${defaultMsg}` });
        }
    },
};```

i have been working on this for a few days and can't seem to figure it out honestly

[old ruin]

Activity.state is the text of the custom status

[blissful laurel]

yeah, i changed it a bit, my issue is how the title gets overriden to "playing Custom Status" when the user isn't playing anything, but has a custom status

i did originally intend for it to only put a description of an actual custom status but it's fine ig

[old ruin]

"Custom Status" is the name of the activity, "test" is the state of that activity

Activity.type isn't an array either so I'm not surprised that this isn't evaluating correctly
activities[memberActivity?.type[0]] || 'playing '

[blissful laurel]

it wasn't, i edited it just now lol

the top message is how i intend for the title to look when there is just a custom status set, the description of the second is what i want to be in that top message

if that makes sense

but i haven't been able to if the custom status out correctly, i only thought of doing a bajillion if statements

but i don't think it's necessary to do that

idk

[old ruin]

So if there's a custom status you want the title to just be the status, otherwise "playing <thing>"?

[blissful laurel]

nah i want the description to be the status, and the title to say "playing nothing" if they're playing nothing, but "playing x" if they're playing an actual thing

idk how to say that less confusingly

[old ruin]

Sometimes building it with if statements is a good starting point instead of jumping to using short circuits and other things that are less obvious to read

[blissful laurel]

i think my main issue at this point is that i'm unsure how to work out the name part that wants to say "Custom Status" because i don't think isMember?.presence?.activities[!4].name (4 being the custom status) is a thing, i can't really remember

actually

it might just be [4]?

but then it just does playing nothing, idk, i'll mess around w it a bit more

[pastel nova]

activities is an array of the activities the user has set currently. That usually will contain 0-2 entries. You‘d need to .find the one having type: ActivityType.Custom (or rather find one that doesn’t have that type) and get its name

Accessing the index 4 would mean it has 5 items which it definitely never does, no user can have 5 activities at the same time

[blissful laurel]

i was going off of this

maybe i misunderstood that part

it seems to think that the "type" of a custom status is Playing in my code

[pastel nova]

I have no idea how you defined memberActivity, activities, etc. there. But <Activity>.type is no array so accessing [0] on it would be undefined, not anything useful
