[undone dew]

o_O

[summer fable]

ok

@undone dew

so how u write this code?

[undone dew]

O_o

[summer fable]

im a little comefused

idk if it detects it if u put in plain

java is way more comefusing then lua

[undone dew]

Write what code? Also just a reminder I’m not going to write all your code for you

[summer fable]

ik i just wanna know if u can just put in plain

[drowsy sun]

lua is a easy leveled code for a reason

[summer fable]

yes ik

ive been doing it for 3 years

so im to uses to it

i wish ive been using that time

for diffrent codes

im pissed off now

im gonna spend my next 1-3 years learning java

[undone dew]

Well, if you understand computer science based logic now they you’ve used another language learning JS shouldn’t be all that difficult

[drowsy sun]

youll figure it out soon

[summer fable]

im on my secound day

[undone dew]

Learn Java if you want to get into C based languages. If you’re interested in web dev I recommend JS and then TS (TypeScript)

[drowsy sun]

to bad discord.py is out of service

TS good script

[undone dew]

dpy was terrible to begin with

[drowsy sun]

C# better for anything windows related

[undone dew]

Aaaanyways this is getting off topic. What did you need again sorry 😅

[drowsy sun]

python is something taught in school tho so like... itd be more likely someone would know how todo that one than discord.js

[summer fable]

ok so @undone dew i rewrote it so would this work?

            { name: '🙍‍♂️', value: `${!interaction.guild.author.user.bot}` },

[undone dew]

Well you can’t get the author of a guild

[summer fable]

wait

im an idiot

[undone dew]

!interaction.user.bot

[summer fable]

i ment to put member

wait

is it member?

[undone dew]

The bot property is on a User. You can get a user off a member, but there’s no reason to here

[summer fable]

wait

[undone dew]

Well that would be your own logic doing that

[summer fable]

i ment to do member count?

iim comefusing my self

why am i doing this to my self

[undone dew]

As stated before you can use memberCount, but this won’t show who’s a bot or not

[summer fable]

do i count this as a win

and just add size?

[undone dew]

Considering idk what the code is or if that’s the actual member count, I have no idea

[summer fable]

            { name: '🙍‍♂️', value: `${(!interaction.guild.members.bot).size}` },

that would work ?

[undone dew]

You’ll need to fetch the members first as the members cache is unreliable

[summer fable]

ye i see ur point now

{ name: '🤖Bots', value: ${interaction.guild.members.cache.filter(!member.user.bot).size} },

[undone dew]

That logic also just won’t work because bot doesn’t exist on a member

[summer fable]

that would work?

it does?

[undone dew]

Again, you’d need to actually fetch the members first

[summer fable]

wait?

it feteched the members for the bot

listen

why does it error me

when i try to do this

   { name: ':robot:Bots', value: `${interaction.guild.members.cache.filter(member <= member.user.bot).size}` },

legit flipping ther >

[undone dew]

Well yeah. That’s simple JS

But again, you’re going to run into issues once that member count updates, as the cache is not updated

You need to fetch the members beforehand so that the cache is updated

[summer fable]

bro

i dont know how to fetch the members

thats the problem

[undone dew]

interaction.guild.members.fetch() it returns a promise you need to resolve

[summer fable]

bro

i didint even know

.fetch()

was a thing

[undone dew]

The djs docs show everything on a class ;)

[dusty jackal]

Documentation suggestion for @summer fable:
FetchMembersOptions
Options used to fetch multiple members from a guild.

[summer fable]

this would help correct?

[undone dew]

Well I mean those are the options for fetching, but they’re not required for this

[summer fable]

.

im ngl

[undone dew]

If you pass no params, it just fetched all the members for that guild

[summer fable]

im getting nowhere with this

so quick question

can i just subtract

the bots from all members?

and get my answer?

[undone dew]

Yup, but again… to get your true bot count you need to fetch the members so you can access the updated cache

[summer fable]

bro

            { name: '🤖Bots', value: `${interaction.guild.members.cache.filter(member => member.user.bot).size}` },

that is the tru bot count

im tryna get true member count

[undone dew]

Add another bot to your server and see if that number stays correct. Odds are it does not

[summer fable]

ok

[undone dew]

If it does, you’re already fetching the members somewhere else

[summer fable]

ummm

it

didint

well

fidint

fetch

but um

idk

ughhh

[undone dew]

… so let me guess it was incorrect like I said

[summer fable]

um

maybe

[undone dew]

If you fetch before that code, it’ll be up to date

[summer fable]

ok

if i put this into a var

interaction.guild.members.fetch()

then say it would it say the number

[undone dew]

The promise also returns the exact same value as guild.members.cache, you just need to await it

[undone dew]

Well no, but it would return a collection of all members which you can use that original filter code you made to get the bot count

[summer fable]

bro

why this gotta be so hard

[undone dew]

Constantly saying bro achieves nothing

[summer fable]

only said it 5 times

[undone dew]

Just run your old code, but instead of using interaction.guild.members.cache use (await interaction.guild.members.fetch())

[summer fable]

bro

I WANNA LEARN

[undone dew]

And use that same logic as before

[summer fable]

i dont wanna just skid my whole bot

i wanna learn

u got anyvids of discordjs tuts?

[undone dew]

Awesome… The reason you need to do this as said before is that the members cache is not updated. By doing this you’re updating the cache. If you want to actually follow through how to use the DJS library, I suggest following the official guides

[summer fable]

im not gonna read

and then learn

thats not how my brain works

its to slow for that

ima fail to read it

[undone dew]

We don’t support any videos as they become out of date and don’t actually explain anything

[summer fable]

ima goto bed man

[undone dew]

You will learn very little if you only sim through old YouTube videos

[summer fable]

its 2:05

[undone dew]

Yikes

[summer fable]

am

[undone dew]

I highly suggest just going through this at your own pace. It gives examples and explains everything you’ll need to start making bots

https://discordjs.guide/#before-you-begin

[summer fable]

its gonna take me ages

to read that

i can barley finish 1 chapter in 1 book

[undone dew]

Hence at your own pace. If you wish to learn, you have to commit to learning how to read documentation and guides

[summer fable]

bro

i dont even have quite at my house

i have 3 brothers

[undone dew]

And school work to do by the sounds of this conversation, but regardless. If you’re willing to learn and create bots, follow the guides. Falling back to people explaining things in these help channels and then proclaiming “I WANT TO LEARN” but refuse to look at the guides isn’t going to get you very far unfortunately

Happy to help if you need a hand with small things you don’t understand, but my responses are under the pretence you’ve at least got basic understanding of both JavaScript and the DJS library

[summer fable]

how long is the avreage bot take?

[undone dew]

Can’t really answer that as it depends on a variety of factors. Some can take minutes, some bots have been in continued development for years. Depends on the project you want to make and if you want to keep it up to date

[steady valley]

lmao

[summer fable]

AINT NO WAY THEY MADE A BOOK
