yep

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:39 PM

#

so

#

for clarification what are you trying to do with this

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

This is basically like a reddit-like post upvote/downvote system. People can post attachments into a certain channel, their post gets points through upvotes/downvotes/awards, and then to see how many points they have and where they're on the leaderboard, they can use the leaderboard command in order to do just that.

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

the paginate function sends the attachment and then reacts to it?

#

found the issue

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

the paginate function is there to react to the embed (which is sent through line 253 in the pastebin), and then it helps the users go through the embed arrays

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

i think

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

vast elm found the issue

what line is it in?

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

is embedArray an array of embeds?

#

or an array of embed arrays

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

an array of embed arrays

#

the bot basically takes the values from the database, splits them into sets of 10 and then forms embed arrays for each set

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

embedArray.push({embeds: [leaderboard]})
embed objects

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

yes

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

when you do paginate

#

and edit it

#

it expects an array of embeds, you are giving it an object of embeds

#

embedArray.push({embeds: [leaderboard]})

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

oh

#

I see

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/Message?scrollTo=edit

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.

#

as you can see, it expects embeds: to be an array, not an object

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:45 PM

#

hmm

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:46 PM

#

you are indexing the embedArray

#

but everything in the embedArray is an object

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:46 PM

alright

it should work

vast elm > embedArray.push({embeds: [leaderboard]})

What do I put in instead of leaderboard in this line?

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:47 PM

if you just do embedArray.push([leaderboard]), it should(?) work

this is coming from the paginate function I believe

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

hold on

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

const pageMsg = await message.channel.send({ embeds: [embeds[0]] }) I think this is the affected line

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

wait

#

why are you wrapping it in a

#

array

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

OH WAIT

#

I just noticed

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

lmao

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

So basically instead of that, if I run const pageMsg = await message.channel.send({ embed: embeds[0] }) will it result in the intended outcome?

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

should

#

assuming you did

#

embedArray.push([leaderboard])

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

mhm

#

did that

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 7:51 PM

this is what the actual embed is supposed to say

but the bot is not able to send it

is that all?

it's not in an array?

this particular database only has like 5 values in it since its attached to the beta build of my bot, but the main bot's database does have more than 10 values

why is the description empty

#

there's no field either

sturdy path Feb 20, 2022, 8:05 PM

I think its empty because there aren't anymore values in the database

#

oh and .AddFields() was never meant to be in the embed

#

I think

vast elm Feb 20, 2022, 8:05 PM

ok

so the issue here is

you have no description, and no fields

#

i don't think that's valid

  }```

#

in this piece of code

#

you're ALWAYS doing it 10 times

#

actually the full thing is ```js
for (var i = 0; i < Users.length % 10 + 10; i++) {
const leaderboard = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle(Here is ${message.guild}'s points | awards leaderboard!)
.setColor("RANDOM")

  let text = ""
  for (var j = 0; j < 10; j++) {
if (!Users[ i * 10 + j ]) break;
text += `${i * 10 + j + 1}. <@${Users[ i * 10 + j ].userid}>: ${Users[ i * 10 + j ].points} | ${Users[ i * 10 + j ].awards}\n`

}
leaderboard.setDescription(${text})
.setFooter("By EBMOfficial, for everyone with the magic of discord.js. TIP: Leaderboard details not appearing? Use the command '^setLeaderboardChannel' in the desired channel to start activity on your server's leaderboard!")
