Please ping me when you answer

[bright violet]

im confused. theres no return in the code block which you claim logs continued

So why do you think it would be returning?

[graceful trail]

The function has it
That won't work?

[bright violet]

return exits the function

its working

It doesnt return from anything but that function

It returns back to where the function was executed

[graceful trail]

oh
How can I return from the main file as well?
I tried it but this happened

I tried using if (notEnoughPermissions){return} but it returns everytime that way, even if it has the permissions.

[bright violet]

notEnoughPermissions needs to return a boolean to that if

Otherwise how is it supposed to know?

You arent calling the function though

The function takes 5 parameters

[graceful trail]

wdym

these?

[bright violet]

I think you might need to learn a bit more Javascript

[graceful trail]

I have them

[bright violet]

Well, that function is notEnoughChannelPermissionsEmbed which would be different to notEnoughPermissions

[graceful trail]

But I do const

[bright violet]

But for it to work, you need to pass those 5 things to the function when you call it

you... what

[graceful trail]

why do i need to call it like that again?

[bright violet]

oh, I missed code in your screenshot

[graceful trail]

This doesn't work?

[graceful trail]

oh okay

[bright violet]

well, yes

Your code does not attempt to return

[graceful trail]

So in order to make it recieve a boolean
I need to add something inside the function?

[bright violet]

It just console.logs true

Then continues

[graceful trail]

I tried before

it returns even if it has permissions

That if gets always triggered that way

idk why

[bright violet]

Then your function is wrong

And it always returning true

[graceful trail]

Can I force it to return false by just adding else {return false} ?

idk how to make it return false in this case

because thats the whole copde i sent you

[bright violet]

yes

[graceful trail]

there is nothing else

[bright violet]

but that wont fix anything if its already returning true all the time

[graceful trail]

oh okay let me try

omg it still continues 😭

[graceful trail]

Want me to send screenshot or code

Which one is easier to read?

[bright violet]

code

but theres not much else I can see

Its always returning true

[graceful trail]

It always logs enough permissions and continued even if it doesn't have those permissions

[graceful trail]

yes

[bright violet]

yes

well.... you now have a double negative?

notEnoughPermissions returns true....

Then you do if(!notEnoughPermissions)

not-notEnoughPermissions

[graceful trail]

But does it matter?
let me fixc ok one sec

[bright violet]

Yes, thats why I'm pointing it out

Having incorrect logic in your if matters a lot

[graceful trail]

Still the same thjing though

    await notEnoughPermissions;
    if (notEnoughPermissions) {
      console.log("enough permissions");
    } else {
      console.log("not enough permissions");
      return;
    }```

Still logging enough permissions even if it has not

I don't get it 😦

I wasted 3 hours on this

I can't understand the logic behind this

[spark lynx]

I dont think not enoughpermissions returns a promise so why await it. I think you need to brush up on your js skills. 👍

[graceful trail]

I just did that for test

There is no await normally

[spark lynx]

If you knew it didn’t return a promise why “try” it? Doesn’t change anything in your code

[graceful trail]

Because this code doesn't work for a reason, so I try stupid stuff

Please don't argue about this if you are not going to help
I'm already exhausted

[spark lynx]

I’m not arguing. Stating what your code says

[graceful trail]

unrelevant with the issue I have, thanks

Please stop and leave the post so the mods can see the code message
Otherwise it won't be visible (the more you write the more it goes to the top)

[spark lynx]

Heres what i think. You have a promising thing here just don’t completely grasp the logic for some of it. Please learn some more js. But when someone helps you and points something out, getting offensive helps nothing

[graceful trail]

My guy...
That was something I did because the issue already doesn't make sense, so I tried something that doesn't make sense. Please STOP! (it doesn't exist anymore in the code I originally have. That has nothing to do with this anyways)

[spark lynx]

notEnoughPermissions is supposed to be what?

[graceful trail]

Code doesn't return (I still need help)

[graceful trail]

You make fun of my coding skills but you can't even see what that is?
Or are you doing this on purpose despite me saying please stop?

[spark lynx]

I’m not making fun of your skills. I literally said it was promising code. Have you logged what notEnoughPermissions is?

[graceful trail]

Look, I am thankful for you trying to help me, but please stop writing here. I kindly want you to ignore my post.

[spark lynx]

In order for an if statement to work, what’s inside have to return true or false.

[graceful trail]

I don't want to explain to you what this code does since it is clear

[graceful trail]

Yes, I know
You mean this one doesn't?

[spark lynx]

Well it needs the condition to return true or false

For the if to work

[graceful trail]

You are just telling stuff that we already know though

We know that, the issue is that I don't know why this one doesn't

Please stop writing here so I don't have to send the code multiple times here, other wise mods might think this issue has been solved

[spark lynx]

Well ok. Have a nice day. Gl
