I assume you are exporting a command object

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

i think so

#

like im exporting a command.js

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

Show me your command files

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

with 1 "module.exports" it works fine, but as soon as i add another one it gives me error

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

The ones you are loading dynamically

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

opal ibex Show me your command files

the one that i have 2 "module.exports"?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:06 AM

#

Yeah

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:06 AM

#

#

#

#

#

see it has 2 "module.exports"

#

but if i remove the second "module.exports" it works fine

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:07 AM

#

Right. Instead of calling it twice you should only call it once and pass both of your classes in there

#

So, change the module.export for class insertNameHere on both of those

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:08 AM

#

No errors

#

Lets see if works

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:09 AM

#

You need to export it though

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:10 AM

#

#

I can't run the command

#

It says this

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

opal ibex You need to export it though

How?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

Looks like you're missing a bracket somewhere

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

true coyote

This last line looks like it's missing a closing bracket

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

If i Add a bracket it gives error

#

The brackets are ok

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

true coyote How?

Change both module.export for class insertNameHere, and then at the end of the file use export { name1, name2 }

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

#

Like this? But then it gives me a error

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

Remove the =

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

It gives even more errors

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

Hmm, nevermind, you'd have to modify more things since you're declaring properties in there

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

#

this is how i separated the modules

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

So, looking at the set of pictures you sent before, it looks like there is no data property for the second export

#

If you try to load that then command.data will always be undefined

#

Because data does not exist in the second module

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

true coyote

when i load this it gives me this error

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

Revert back to using module.export

#

So, again, the second module.export does NOT have a data property

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:17 AM

#

And how to a add a data property to it?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

When you call require it loads the second module and it tries to index a property inside a non existent property

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

When I use the second module it shows this

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

Yeah

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

opal ibex When you call `require` it loads the second module and it tries to index a prope...

So how exactly would I fix that?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

Change your structure

#

You can either put the name property of the second module inside a data object

#

Or you change that commands.set to use command.name instead of command.data.name

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:20 AM

#

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:20 AM

#

opal ibex Or you change that `commands.set` to use `command.name` instead of `command.data...

now it gives me this error by doing this

#

here's the code of the handleCommands

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:21 AM

#

Yeah, because data still doesn't exist

#

Get rid of data. in all of those

#

You really need to revisit your command structure

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:22 AM

#

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:22 AM

#

opal ibex You really need to revisit your command structure

Everything was perfectly fine and all commands were working but I wanna figure out how to make 2 modules work

Because that will let me do other stuff

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:23 AM

true coyote Everything was perfectly fine and all commands were working but I wanna figure o...

What are you trying to do by exporting two modules from the same command file

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:23 AM

#

opal ibex What are you trying to do by exporting two modules from the same command file

Let me show u

#

#

i have this right

#

and i wanna be able to change this embed and make the "Status" "Accepted"

#

and for that I need to access that embed

#

and I can't if the embed creation is on "interactionCreate.js" and if my commands to change that are on "suggestion.js"

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:26 AM

#

You can export a function from interactionCreate.js and then use it in suggestion.js

#

Instead of exporting suggestion.js

#

Ideally, you'd save the embed object in interactionCreate.js and then call a function to retrieve it

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:27 AM

#

Like this?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

Yeah

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:29 AM

#

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

Check the path

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

#

the path was wrong and now is right

#

but it gives me this error..

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

Are you exporting it in interactionCreate?

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

I don't think so, how do I do that

#

#

I want to export this basically

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

Can't quite export that. What you should do is export a function to retrieve that

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

How?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:33 AM

#

You could, for example, save the embed in a static dictionary

#

End then export a function that retrieves the embed from the dictionary and returns it

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

Hmm I don't know how to do that :((

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

Something like this

#

Though keep in mind this is Typescript

#

So don't copy it directly

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

Isn't there any simpler way?

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

opal ibex Something like this

I really don't understand this

#

Im trying like with this command edit the embed that its on "interactionCreate.js"

#

basically

#

is there a easy way to do it :/

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:37 AM

#

Well, if you have the message ID you don't need exports

#

If you're passing it into your command you could just get the message itself

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:38 AM

#

#

im trying to something like this

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

opal ibex If you're passing it into your command you could just get the message itself

yes but how do i edit with the command then if I don't access to the embed it self

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

true coyote yes but how do i edit with the command then if I don't access to the embed it se...

You retrieve it first

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:39 AM

How exactly xd?

Get Message By ID: Discord.js

I am doing a report system for a discord bot and I want the player to report a specific message by the id so that the moderators can decide if it is offensive or not. I am struggling to find a way ...

#

Google is your friend

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:40 AM

#

How does this help? im not quite understanding

#

sorry if im being kinda annoying

#

is just that im kinda new to djs :/

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:41 AM

#

In your command to accept the suggestion or whatever you run code to get the message with the specified ID

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

Like this?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:45 AM

#

Yeah

#

Though in there you might get an error, unless you made channel a variable

#

interaction.channel.messages.fetch() would be the whole thing

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

opal ibex `interaction.channel.messages.fetch()` would be the whole thing

But this should be in my command or where I create the embed?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

In your command

#

Where you want to edit the message

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

Okok, so how exactly do I edit an embed that isn't on this json file?

#

That's the part that confuses me :/

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

You don't need a json file to edit an embed

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

#

So like what do I need to add to edit the embed with the messageId

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:48 AM

#

true coyote

I only want to edit the Pending to Accepted

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

You get the embed from the existing message and then edit it and pass it back

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

That seems easy to say but not do :/

#

Is there any guide or something on google to that

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

Haven't looked, but there should be

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

#

Tried this didn't work

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:52 AM

#

const message = interaction.channel.messages.fetch(messageId)
const tempEmbed = new EmbedBuilder(message .embeds[0])

// Cycle through the embed's fields here and edit the one you want

message .edit({ embeds: [tempEmbed] });

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:53 AM

#

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:53 AM

#

Something like this

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:53 AM

#

Like this?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:53 AM

#

No

#

tempEmbed.setDescription

#

And change MessageEmbed for EmbedBuilder

#

MessageEmbed is for v13, v14 uses EmbedBuilder

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:54 AM

#

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:54 AM

#

opal ibex `MessageEmbed` is for v13, v14 uses `EmbedBuilder`

It gives this error, after fixing this

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:55 AM

#

V14 might have changed something else with messages

Check the documentation to see how to retrieve embeds from a message

#

In here?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:57 AM

#

Yeah

#

There's also tutorials on how to do things like these on youtube

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:58 AM

#

i asked on #djs-help-v14

#

someone might know

#

because im almost there

#

i just need to find out how to edit it :((

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

Oh, one more thing

#

That command only works if you send it in the same channel where the embed is

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

#

By doing that it gave me this error

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:01 AM

#

Add a check to see if message.embeds has any items in it

#

The console error is pretty clear

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:01 AM

#

opal ibex Add a check to see if `message.embeds` has any items in it

How?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:01 AM

#

Google

#

message.embeds is an array

#

Don't want to sound like an ass, but Google is your best friend

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:03 AM

#

#

Like this?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:05 AM

#

Not quite

#

With that you will iterate over all the embeds in a message

#

You need to do fetch().then() by the way

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

Look at the "pat" guy on #djs-help-v14

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

Yeah, he said the same

#

.fetch() returns a promise

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:07 AM

#

like this?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:07 AM

#

You can either use .then() and put all the subsequent code in there, or you use await

#

Yeah

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:08 AM

#

This is the code I have

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:08 AM

#

No

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:08 AM

#

Then how?

#

#

WORKEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

#

FINALLLYYYY

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

.then((message) => {
// Do stuff in here
})

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

oh okay

#

but i wanted to edit the description not remove all the embed and just let it with description

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:11 AM

#

How does your code look now

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:11 AM

#

#

like this

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:11 AM

#

Ok, that works too

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:11 AM

#

opal ibex You can either use .then() and put all the subsequent code in there, or you use ...

It's what I said here

#

Remove the new from EmbedBuilder

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:12 AM

#

opal ibex It's what I said here

Yeah

#

Now worked adding EmbedBuilder.from(...

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:12 AM

#

const tempEmbed = EmbedBuilder.from()

#

Yeah

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

how do i edit a field?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

You need to get all the fields of the embed

#

Actually, hang on

#

It might have fetch as well

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:14 AM

#

#

Doing this doesn't work :/

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:14 AM

#

I mean, you're just adding new embeds with that

#

And variables in there are undefined

#

So no, it's not gonna work

#

Run this

#

for (const field of message.embeds[0].fields) {
            console.log(field)
        }

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:17 AM

#

where?

#

in what part on my code

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:17 AM

#

Put it under const tempEmbed

#

And remove the addFields call

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

i assume it worked?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

Yes

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:19 AM

#

But I just wanna change the one that has a name of 'Status'

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:19 AM

#

I know

#

Give me a second

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:21 AM

#

#

This almost worked

#

But setvalue isn't working

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:21 AM

#

You have to modify it in tempEmbed

#

for (const field of tempEmbed.data.fields) {
            if (field.name != "Status") continue;
            field.value = "Accepted"
            break;
        }

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

#

finalllyyyy

#

but one thing

#

how can i make it to use the command on a separated channel?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:25 AM

#

You'll need to add a channel ID option to your command

#

Or you can iterate through all of your discord channels

#

But that is not exactly efficient

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:29 AM

#

one opinion

#

what u think it would cooler

#

#

this or the / command

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:31 AM

#

Buttons

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

what if i let both of them?

#

buttons and / commands

#

isn't that more "efficient"?

opal ibex Jul 20, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

Idk, your choice my man

#

Buttons are much more efficient

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 2:33 AM

#

I know but having / is also great

#

So both would be the best case scenario in my opinion

true coyote Jul 20, 2022, 1:12 PM

@opal ibex how do i make a system that gets a message from someone only after clicking a button?

true coyote <@187329822337400833> how do i make a system that gets a message from someone on...
