it really depends on what your bot does

inner jewel
i use ~600-800MB for 5.6k guilds
trim plinth
@solid cliff yeah 1gb would probably be best
solid cliff
oki

what language
proven schooner
Now i just reached a milestone! 5 hours on a single fucking tutorial. I am now going back steps : D 👏 👏
trim plinth
ok so the least you'll need for your build.gradle would be ```gradle
group 'succ'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile 'net.dv8tion:JDA:3.5.0_329'
}
@proven schooner
inner jewel
update that jda 
trim plinth
mmLol
inner jewel
plugins {
id'java'
id'application'
id'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '2.0.2'
}
mainClassName = 'com.example.jda.Bot'
version '1.0'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile 'net.dv8tion:JDA:3.6.0_355'
}
compileJava.options.encoding = 'UTF-8'```
trim plinth
@inner jewel I haven't updated because I'm too lazy™
inner jewel
ur almost 30 builds behind
trim plinth
I don't use JDA that much anyways so I barely keep up with updates
brisk notch
inner jewel
i get a ping for each update
trim plinth
inner jewel
proven schooner
How do i update the jda?
inner jewel
changing the version in build.gradle
brisk notch
test
proven schooner
because the one i typed since i having a mental 'melting'
inner jewel
tbh you should learn java before trying to write a bot
inner jewel
if you don't have any knowledge you'll get nowhere
and JDA isn't beginner friendly at all
trim plinth
you have to stalk the JDA docs to get anywhere with JDA tbh
just stare them down :^)
inner jewel
not really
proven schooner
@trim plinth Your's doesn't work
inner jewel
most methods are pretty clear on what they do
trim plinth
yeah cause I suck
proven schooner
@inner jewel What do i change out of yours?
proven schooner
its* FINALLY WORKING
trim plinth
ok cool
proven schooner
Im adding a listener to my bot. Keeps flooding me with a fuckload of errors
trim plinth
did you import it 
trim plinth
you need to import shit to get things running
proven schooner
This is the first time(of course) im doing this type of scripting.
Well where do I import the pile of shit to get the shit running?
topaz fjord
maybe you should learn Java
proven schooner
@topaz fjord This is how I am going to learn it. At least part of it.
trim plinth
no just no
proven schooner
I do not do good at learning programming languages, I don't even know why the fuck im doing this.
trim plinth
learn langs outside of bot making instead of using bots as a way to learn
pastel violet
Can anyone teach me node?
trim plinth
node?
pastel violet
node.js
trim plinth
like the js runtime
pastel violet
mhm
trim plinth
ok
pastel violet
I want to develop a bot
topaz fjord
Learn from online 
trim plinth
hint: run files with node urFile.js
proven schooner
Should i do the java script acadmeny?
pastel violet
parts of the bot, so you wont lose it all togethe
proven schooner
Haven't done that in years
trim plinth
no thats not what shards are
pastel violet
idk then
trim plinth
shards are multiple processes of a bot designed to keep Discord from reeing at it once it gets too many guilds
trim plinth
I'm guessing you want to know JS, Node.js isn't a lang, its a JS runtime
pastel violet
.
trim plinth
yeah seriously
pastel violet
i have visualcode
trim plinth
it'll help a lot to learn JS first before going into JS bots
even if you have VS it won't accomplish anything for you if you don't know a programming language
proven schooner
What would be the easiest way?
trim plinth
@proven schooner for what?
pastel violet
just gonna get a friend tohelp me

Is there a way I could make this line use queue()
User o = DATA.JDA.retrieveUserById(args[0]).complete();
?
dusty sandal
for js, how would i do a thing to detect if a message isn't a number
basically, heres what kind of code i want to run if the message isn't a number, then send an error message
glossy mason
@errant bone You can pass queue a consumer (callback), and so once it's competes it will pass that consumer the user object.
errant bone
code example?
glossy mason
I'm not sure how to do it in Java exactly, but in Kotlin it's:
data.jda.retrieveUserById(ages[0]).queue { user ->
// my beautiful code using the user object
}
If you'd like, I can try to look up how to write it in pure Java.
Actually, if I recall correctly, I think in Java you can do:
data.jda.retrieveUserById(ages[0]).queue((user) -> {
// my beautiful code using the user object
});
I'll double check.
errant bone
alright, thanks dude
glossy mason
No problem. Hopefully it works.
errant bone
I feel like i'm doing something wrong here
I'm not that good with lambda expressions
glossy mason
Instead of setting u to user, you can just rename user. I just wrote user to make clear what the value is.
inner jewel
you can't assign a local variable from inside a lambda
errant bone
oh
inner jewel
move the code that needs user inside the lambda
glossy mason
@dusty sandal You can use isNaN(messageContent) to check if it is Not a Number.
dusty sandal
ok thanks
inner jewel
glossy mason
What?
inner jewel
idk why did i expect JS to make sense
i'd expect isNaN to strictly compare to FP NaN
glossy mason
isNaN(123) // false
isNaN('123') // false
isNaN('1e10000') // false (This translates to Infinity, which is a number)
isNaN('foo') // true
isNaN('10px') // true
infinity is a number 
glossy mason
[controversy intensifies]
trim plinth
the more controversal shit is how NaN is a number
glossy mason
lament hemlock
1e10000 !== infinity
infinity is infinity
and isNaN is going to attempt to parse the first parameter as a number
undefined is a javascript object and therefore is not a number
0 / 0 is also not a number
as it is not defined
hello is not a number
2005/12/12 is also not a number, the / make it unable to be parsed
this shit is easy

i need an help/idea:
my bot need to delete a message from a user and rewite it sobstituting particular format....
but i want that before do that it waits to see if other bots deletes that message
any ideas?
i use JDA
torpid frost
... 😔
gilded thunder
How would I get a messages content from a message ID in discord.py async?
ruby dust
message.content is what you want, but you first need to define message as the message you are tarrgetting, you can find that in the discord.py docs
gilded thunder
Alright, thanks.
glossy robin
hi, my bot has the permission to nickname people, but cant nickname people who are higher rank than it is, is there any way at all that I can get it to nickname higher ranking people or do I just have to live with it?
topaz fjord
Unless the bot has a role higher than the person it's trying to nickname
You should probably check the role position of the member your trying to nickname and if the bots role position is lower than it, return a message telling them the user your trying to nickname has a higher role than me or smth
topaz fjord
Np
torpid frost
someone have an idea for my question?
low owl
If you rephrase your question I might be able to help you
torpid frost
i've a bot that pratically echoes what a user says modifying some things
i want him to wait to reponse (like some ms) to see if the message gets deleted by other bots (like censor bots or slowmode)
low owl
Ah, I see
This might be outdated or not relevant to your version
But you get the point, I guess, that you need a Timer. If this SO doesn't work for you, I'd suggest researching other Timers.
earnest phoenix
I think u should look at setTimeout
low owl
Java != JavaScript
earnest phoenix
Brian u can google the SetTimeout function in java it is a bit the same but if im not wrong its called "Timer"
daring musk
low owl
I'm unable to find that method in any Java related Timer class
and researching only spits out JS
earnest phoenix
oof
torpid frost
err... the question is how to test if the message is still there
i've not found any methind like isDeleted() or isNotDeleted()
low owl
Dude
earnest phoenix
Check the docs
low owl
You wait for the message delete event > cache the deleted message id > check if it is in cache
if yes it got deleted
shell oxide
(discord.py) so ive got the ffmpeg folder, I'm not sure what it means by 'You must have the ffmpeg or avconv executable in your path environment variable in order for this to work.', can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks
glossy robin
when you installed ffmpeg did you have to go into the control panel and add the ffmpeg directory path into a text box?
because that might be what it is referring to
shell oxide
when i installed it with homebrew it just added the ffmpeg folder
shell oxide
osx
shell oxide
how would you do it in windows
glossy robin
but you want to find out how to add ffmpeg to your path
ruby dust
does osx even have the "pathing" thing?
glossy robin
yes
so does linux
but i think in osx and linux you do it with a command
in windows you would go to system info in control panel then click "advanced system settings", click environment variables, then add the path variable with the directory path inside it
shell oxide
i added the path to bash_profile
glossy robin
this is what I found online.. that looks like it should work:
open -e ~/.bash_profile
Add this to the file at the end:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Save it, and close the editor. Now restart your Terminal and which ffmpeg should return /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.```:D
shell oxide
well thats sorted thanks haha, but now a new error has thrown up 🙄 i'll get there smh
glossy robin
lol
glossy sand
@vital plover ok so you're retrieving the command executor at line 47 right
looking it up in a hash table
so the solution is to mutate the key so case becomes irrelevant, right
vital plover
ye
glossy sand
so call .toLowerCase on it?
assuming your definitions register commands in lower case
vital plover
in which file to i put .toLowerCase
glossy sand
i'm trying very hard to not spoonfeed
so consider this
your command hash table maps lowercase command names to command executors, right?
vital plover
ye
glossy sand
now suppose a user tries to retrieve the entry help => [Help command] by doing !HELP
you receive the string "HELP" but you want the entry keyed "help"
what do you do?
vital plover
not sure
glossy sand
is it not sufficient to simply transform the string you receive to lower case before using it?
vital plover
idk
glossy sand
i get the distinct feeling that you just copied your command dispatcher from elsewhere
vital plover
as i said im kinda new to js
abstract crystal
@shell oxide https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html look at this
floral stone
@earnest phoenix it could equal since your example contains variables, not strings.
I'm joking
floral stone
His example was python so .lower()

ah

Good luck! :D

can u use .broadcastEval in d.js too eval multiple things
earnest phoenix
yes
broadcastEval("[something, something2, anotherthing]").then(d => {
const firstShard = d[0];
firstShard[0] // something
firstShard[1] // something2
firstShard[2] // anotherthing
});
clever yew
@earnest phoenix That's disgusting
clever yew
broadcastEval("[something, something2, anotherthing]").then([[first, second, third]] => {
// Do something with them
});```Because that's more readable 
earnest phoenix
broadcastEval("[something, something2, anotherthing]").then(d => {
for (const r of d) {
r[0]; // something
r[1]; // something2
r[2]; // anotherthing
};
});
uncut slate
why wouldn't you destructure it in that example
earnest phoenix
Because you're destructing the first shard
uncut slate
disgusting
earnest phoenix
same tbh
sinful lotus
so it means if you broadcast eval the shards on client.guild.size it would return answers then just add it then thats it?
sinful lotus
well do posting stats on dbl would need it to be added, or dbl will automatically add it?
toxic oracle
You can send per shard
sinful lotus
like on what is on docu?
toxic oracle
If you send shard id and count from each client
sinful lotus
client.shard.id and client.shard.total stuff?
sinful lotus
I see thanks for that I thought I would need to add it first
before sending it to dbl
solemn obsidian
I mean at least jacz way wont break if you change shard amount...

I cant make the bot
check itself
if it has permissions for sending message

sinful lotus
where in all my commands are inside that

Can’t u just....
sinful lotus
ok removed those
if (msg.isMentioned(config.kashimauserid)){
try {
let yourownprefix = settings.getProp(msg.guild.id, "prefix")
return msg.channel.send(`**Teitoku**, this **Server Prefix** is set to => **${yourownprefix}**`)} catch(error) {}};
with that
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions
still here
earnest phoenix
- Ur trying to do ur commands
- Do message.channel.send().catch(e => {}) sorry I am on mobiel
No code blocks
sinful lotus
at last it woked
earnest phoenix
👍
sinful lotus
now my problem will be
do I need to rewrite all my code
if (!msg.content.startsWith(guildConf.prefix)) return;
after that line?
earnest phoenix
No
sinful lotus
because if you used a command
it will error again
so do I need to rewrite the whole code
or just put a try catch
yep it worked with the try catch
xD
ty for the help fellow devs
low owl
I want to note here that exceptions are not to be ignored
it's considered bad practice to expect an exception when in the first place you could avoid them
solemn obsidian
So you are saying making sure the process doesnt crash is bad?
orchid copper
I think unusually high use of try catch except blocks shall be avoided..But still where we have no control over causes of error like net problem bad user input etc etc
solemn obsidian
"it's considered bad practice to expect an exception when in the first place you could avoid them"
low owl
except for stuff where there are no API endpoints such as the ability to check if you can dm someone
solemn obsidian
you can't as a human expect your code to be perfect and never error
low owl
Have fun living on the edge then 🤔
sinful lotus
I wanna ask something
how do I check the bot if it has permissions for sending message
for some of my codes that needs it
msg.guild.members.get(client.user.id).hasPermissions('SEND_MESSAGES')
I already tried this but I cant make it work
low owl
That works for guilds, but it's possible that you have no permissions in a specific channel
sinful lotus
yeah thats the case of what Im trying to fix
since some of my codes doesnt really like the .catch stuff
low owl
Well, similar approach then. Get the channel and then the Channel Permission Overrides
at least that'd work in D.NET, no idea about JS
orchid copper
try:
await client.send_message(message.channel, chat)
except discord.Forbidden():
print('wtf')
@sinful lotus this worked for me
orchid copper
omg sorry
earnest phoenix
lemme see
have u checked https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/general/welcome ?
earnest phoenix
i dont think u can do that
Saya u should try to work around
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/TextChannel?scrollTo=permissionsFor
earnest phoenix
@uncut slate make em read the docs :/
uncut slate
not really
either message.guild.me.permissions.has or what you already linked
I'm just adding on
earnest phoenix
tru
low owl
Hint: he wants the channel permissions, not the guild ones 👀
low owl
Convert?
sinful lotus
DeprecationWarning: EvaluatedPermissions#hasPermission is deprecated, use Permissions#has instead
let permcheck = msg.channel.permissionsFor(msg.guild.me).hasPermission("SEND_MESSAGES")
using Permissions.has
makes send message undefined
low owl
Well, Permissions#has refers to an instance of Permissions on which you call .has
do you have an instance of Permissions?
sinful lotus
something like new Discord.Permissions(memberpermissions); ?
low owl
Ok, so what you want is to acquire a Permissions object
from some other method, probably in the Channel one
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildChannel?scrollTo=permissionsFor does that for example
All you need to do is replace .hasPermissions with .has

}
let pCoins = coins[pUser.id].coins;
if(argresult = message.author) return message.channel.send("```fix\nDon't try to cheat the system! You can't pay yourself to get more money!\n```")``` let args = message.content.split(/ +/g).slice(1,2);
var argresult = args.join(' ')
if(!coins[pUser.id]){
coins[pUser.id] = {
coins: 0
};
}
let pCoins = coins[pUser.id].coins;
if(argresult == message.author/*is this the author's ID? If so, use .id at the end. Is it their .username? .tag */) return message.channel.send("Don't try to cheat the system! You can't pay yourself to get more money!\n")```
Also, if you have a pay system that subtracts money from you and then adds it to the receiving user, it won't cause money duplication @dusty sandalok thanks
visual surge
mhm
dusty sandal
actaully @visual surge i had a system like the one you listed above and it actaully did do duping
that's why i have the thing to check to see if the person being paid isn't the message author
visual surge
user1coins = user1coins - amountpaying
user2coins = user2coins + amountpaying
Still a good idea though, paying self is weird
dusty sandal
yeah i have a system like that
visual surge
Odd, but either way, that works
dusty sandal
yes in the end the same result is achieved

hi guys, how do i get the invite someone used to join and who created it when a user joins a server?
discord.js, guildMemberAdd event. wanna do it like this:
'{username of who joined, already done} was invited by {invite code creators username#tag} with invite code {invite code, the - - - - - - one}'
dont think u can but. . . u can fetchInvitelinks
You could keep track of invite codes and see whoch one goes up on guildmemberadd
restive silo
^
earnest phoenix
just a guess
earnest phoenix
well it could work but needs some thinking
restive silo
not really
he explained ir perfectly
use a db => save all invite + usage count to it => on guildmemberadd check which count increased with the db entry => use that invite

ill try that to see if it does but i might as well use [...]
clever yew
Oh, it doesn't
[...x] converts an iterator into an array
Technically, for each value the iterator yields, add a value to the array
Map has a built-in iterator (Symbol.iterator), which yields [k, v]
austere meadow
ah yeah
clever yew
So if you have```js
Map { 1 => 'Test', 2 => 'Test2' }
It'll yield each value
First yields [1, 'Test'], second yields [2, 'Test2'], next iteration is done, "cuts" the iterator
Then all the values yielded get wrapped in an array, aka [yielded1, yielded2, ...]
austere meadow
oh nice
clever yew
Resulting on [[1, 'Test'], [2, 'Test2']]
austere meadow
thats pretty convenient hahaha
clever yew
Yeah, I have used iterators and array spread a lot myself 😄
const array = [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6];
const uniqueArray = [...new Set(array)];
console.log(uniqueArray); // -> [1, 2, 3, 5, 6]```Set has an iterator, so filtering duplicated entries is as easy as that
clever yew
Now you do 😄
austere meadow
clever yew
You can use for-of and [...x]
Both rely on iterators, so it's pretty convenient because it ensures consistency in your code
austere meadow
yeah
clever yew
Since both can convert/iterate maps, sets (collections that aren't index based), strings, arrays, and anything else that has an iterator
Want to split a string by characters? Easy: [...myString];, done
clever yew

low owl
@clever yew a map is like a dictionary in C# right? 😅
clever yew
Yes
It's keyed collection with a relation key-value, where you get the value by its key.
As opposed to a WeakMap where you get the key by the value.
This one, sir @low owl https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xfhwa508(v=vs.110).aspx
low owl
Oh, TIL about WeakMaps
clever yew
The difference is that C#'s Dictionary throws if the key doesn't exist, whereas JS just returns undefined
low owl
Well, depends which method you use
clever yew
Design-wise they're quite similar
Yeah, Dictionary.TryGetValue reproduces JS' behaviour
low owl
Kind of weird, the API im currently serializing into c# objects says that a certain object is of type map. But I don't think it actually is. The whole documentation is blurry though. Very inconsistent.
clever yew
if (myDictionary.TryGetValue("foo", out string val))
{
Console.WriteLine($"Value is {val}");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The key foo does not exist in the dictionary.");
}```Equals to```js
let val;
if ((val = myMap.get("foo")) != null) {
console.log(`Value is ${val}`);
} else {
console.log("The key foo does not exist in the map.");
}```They both do exactly the same thing
low owl
Yeah
clever yew
Just that val is null in C# if there's no value, whereas in JS it gets re-assigned to undefined
(But can't do much about it because converting undefined to null is a bit tricky, ugly, and slow, unless I add a new line to the else)
We're waiting TC39 (the organization that decides JS' design) has the ?? operator held on
It does... exactly the same as in C# iirc: if it's null (and undefined in JS), run the next statement
There's another collection in JS called Set. It's identical to C#'s HashSet if you wanna check it out
low owl
Nah I don't like Js at all. I just need to work with Json right now.
low owl
Thanks for your effort though
clever yew

edgy needle
im tring to make a vote command i want it to send the message and delete mine this is the code i have but it wont work it deletes my message and it wont send the message the bot is supposed to send
if (msg.startsWith( prefix + "vote")) {
message.delete();
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
message.channel.sendMessage(text)
message.react("✅");
message.react("❌");
}
fluid basin
Yeah did you define it?
fluid basin
Ok alright
edgy needle
this works fine but it will add the reactions to my message and it wont delete it
if (msg.startsWith( prefix + "vote")) {
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
message.channel.sendMessage(text)
message.react("✅");
message.react("❌");
}
fluid basin
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
This is the line thats causing issues
.slice() returns the sliced element
fluid basin
Sure
edgy needle
wait...
fluid basin
No errors given in console?
edgy needle
nope
it works in my server
ima try
if (msg.startsWith( prefix + "vote")) {
message.delete();
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
message.channel.sendMessage(text)
message.react("✅");
message.react("❌");
}
fluid basin
Hmm what library are you using btw
edgy needle
.js
if (msg.startsWith( prefix + "vote")) {
message.delete();
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
message.channel.sendMessage(text)
message.react("✅");
message.react("❌");
}
/\ Does not work
fluid basin
Hmm
Btw .sendMessage is deprecated, you should be using .send instead
Just some remarks
fluid basin
ikr
edgy needle
React to the bots msg
heady zinc
no it doesn't
edgy needle
then ima just stick to
if (msg.startsWith( prefix + "vote")) {
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
message.channel.send(text)
message.react("✅");
message.react("❌");
}
heady zinc
if you want it to react to the bot message
fluid basin
Alright but you are reacting on the vote command message
edgy needle
if (msg.startsWith( prefix + "vote")) {
message.react("✅");
message.react("❌");
} **
fluid basin
Did you add any channel/guild checks? Maybe thats the reason why its not working here
edgy needle
i cant use await cuz it is not a async function
fluid basin
Then you need to run the code in a async function on by using the async declarator
Suggest you to read up on Javascript async/await if you are new to this
edgy needle
i never used async
edgy needle
for the past month or so i just used bot.on('message', (message) => {
topaz fjord
Well you cant use it for that
Wait did you make a new message event for each command
fluid basin
Hmm ES6 is bae
topaz fjord
^
fluid basin
ok gud
edgy needle
for me it is
bot.on('message', (message) => {
if(command stuff)
}
if(command stuff)
(Insert more cmds here)
});
topaz fjord
I would suggest a command handler but that's a later thing
edgy needle
like commando?
topaz fjord
No
fluid basin
Thats a command framework, not a command handler
Yeah maybe that might be a later thing for you
edgy needle
rip i tried
bot.on("message", async (message) => {
if (msg.startsWith( prefix + "vote")) {
const text = args.slice(1).join(" ");
message.channel.sendMessage(text)
await message.channel.sendMessage(text)
message.react("✅");
message.react("❌");
}
});
but it still wont work

I wanna make a bot with my friend that can make it so that 2 or more people on a server can play blackjack, I'm completely new to bot making and have only devised a game of blackjack based in python which goes from computer vs player.
How should I do this :/
earnest phoenix
And please how I Can create à bot? And How language can I use?
Ur suppose to pick the language
Also coding Lang not language : English , Turkish, and others
Yeah I now but Java-python-c++ ... How?
How I create à DB please 😧
earnest phoenix
U can also google it
But I suggest picking a coding language and learning how to use it before coding a discord bot.
earnest phoenix
Ok tks :'D
Put it in code blocks s
Non i am on mobile. I can't see + :'(
iPhone code blocks exist lol

all class names?

you either use inspect element or you build a new div and overlay it
like i did with my page
languid dragon
.element{
position:fixed;
left:0;
top:0;
width:100vw;
height:100vh;
background:white;
z-index:1000;
}
puts a layer on the very top

why 👀

which you can use as body to put whatever you want in it

wont work?

trying to loop thru all commands from bot api (localhost) that returns an array of commands ```html
<div>
<section class="section">
<div class="container" v-for="command of commands" :key="command.category">
{{ command.category }}
</div>
</section>

commands being the array
but
i dont want dups of the category
where this should just be Admin, General, Animal not Admin Admin Admin, General General
@weary shoal
weary shoal
All i can think of is sql rn haha sorry bro
earnest phoenix
all g
weary shoal
I mean, you could make an array of command categories or something
earnest phoenix
Was thinking about it
weary shoal
const unique = [...new Set(commands.map(item => item.category))];```Something like that then for category in unique
uncut slate
you'd want to use array.filter with indexOf, way faster
earnest phoenix
actually
Mercy's way is the easiest and most likely fastest way to get dups out
other then the map 
dw i got this https://jaczaus.me/i/jfyg2roobaefc86.png
uncut slate
array.filter is going to be faster than building a set out of it and then iterating it into a new array
array of 15 items for ref
earnest phoenix
not in v8 v6.5
im not certain tho
you could be very well correct
and tbh, ur way is like known as the fastest so shrug

I'd probably go with new Set, just because the latter is ugly
heck, that's even what we use in Memer
but it's not the fastest

its not like its gonna matter to the end users

yeah, it's not

which is new Set

do that and you'll have times of minutes

unless you're writing code where a single microsecond is a big thing

there's literally zero reason for microoptimizing

I'm pretty sure you can get edits from a message object anyways
Depends on the lib/lang on how

seen a few with before pic after pic and message edits, would be awesome for a bot log

fluid basin
@earnest phoenix Ok if you are using express you can get the ip by this:
const ip = req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || req.connection.remoteAddress;
Basically the first part is used if you are behind a proxy(like nginx for example) and the second one is the direct connecting ip if it is not behind a proxy.
