It's one of the most widely used ones
earnest phoenix
hopefully my new bot can make it

Lets not chat here and not break the rules

though most servers just have Mee6 and Dyno
earnest phoenix
Can someone help me fix the error.
So Basically
If I say M>say Hi.
The bot says: saysHi.

Hey, this is a little strange but it would make life so much easier if I knew anyway if this was a thing... What I want to do is content.match a specific string in a message but then single out the entire word that set of the .match and test if it is something else or the word that's the problem. Just to make it easier to understand I'll describe my exact situation... So it's a censor bot, and right now it content.match the whole string and for example someone says ass, it'll censor, but then it'll censor assassin, what I want to do is to single out the whole word that contains the word that sets off .match so then I can check it and return; if the word matches assassin, but I can't just do it in a list of seeing if it matches assassin then return cuz someone could says assassin, then other curse words so I want a function for each word then test the word in specific...
Language: js
Tag me if you respond pls
floral stone
I'm not reading that whole thing
verbal night

uncut slate
then don't, no one asked you to
verbal night
Essentially they want to look for a certain word and delete the message if it has it
floral stone
I'm just joking about how long it is.
verbal night
without something like assassin for example being deleted for having "ass" in it
verbal night
🤷 i don't use js xD
floral stone
you'll probably have to lower case the message content
verbal night
^
floral stone
you could split the string by spaces
and get each word there
and check if any of your bad words is in the list
you can also do
var badw = " ass "
instead of
var badw = "ass"
@slim heart
but it be better to split it
shy verge
The authenticity of host [ip] can't be established.
wat fak
shy verge
var RamUsage = Process.GetCurrentProcess().PrivateMemorySize64;
this returns 0 on my VPS lul
slim heart
@floral stone Ass is just one example
hot sleet
how to make my bot send random question then when the message author response the bot check if he answered right or no (i know how to send random message and how to wait for messages but don't know how to check if the response === random message answer)
floral stone
maybe try assigning the variable to the wait for
slim heart
Is it maybe possible to go word by word and test over and over?
Like "hello there" it'll scan hello then do whatever, then do the same to there but seperately
Actually nvrm that's what you said before lmaoo, how exactly would I split each word and like make it a variable or some crap idek
So that I can test it over and over
slim heart
Like would i have to do message.content.slice().trim().split(/ +/g)
And then just arg[0-Like A Million] each time cuz that'd be really annoying there's gotta be a better way of doin it
earnest phoenix
would
if(message.content.has("www"));
``` work??
earnest phoenix
this doesn't explain anything
spring ember
it does
earnest phoenix
Not for me
spring ember
you should use regex
earnest phoenix
you've told me that three times, I got it the first time
Now, if you're not actually going to help, pls stfu
spring ember
better tutorial
and listen this is the way of doing it, everyone here uses regex for links, and I do try to help by pinpointing you to websites that you can learn from
earnest phoenix
Sending the same one three times and having me tell you it don't work and sending it again ain't helping
earnest phoenix
Either way its fine the way it is
it shouldn't get muted for that
because it deletes links
spring ember
it should be disabled by default
earnest phoenix
Ok
spring ember
oof resource hungry
slim heart
It's rlly messy but it works so i mean whatever lmaoo
slim heart
thats what i already have
but lets say i say assassin
it'd pick up "ass"
so what im doing is if it finds "assassin" in that one word then it'll return; and then not censor it cuz its not bad
topaz fjord
is that just a bad word filter
spring ember
umm you shouldn't use a regex
topaz fjord
that is regex
slim heart
LMAO
spring ember
like " ass "
slim heart
.match
spring ember
so it is a word
spring ember
nope
slim heart
yes
knotty steeple
no
spring ember
there is a space
topaz fjord
bad word filters are stoopid
slim heart
cuz it has a space in front
spring ember
so it is a word
topaz fjord
ew
slim heart
this is my current regex
spring ember
oh no
topaz fjord
bad word filter
spring ember
very bad word filter
topaz fjord
nice way to get bot muted here :^)
slim heart
but fr it keeps messing up so i wanna make it bettor
Yeah i have it ignoring dbl
also im pretty sure it is already muted LMAO
topaz fjord
you should make it optional
spring ember
mysql isn't related at all 
slim heart
it looks for 0 or 1 in my mysql server and if it's 0 then it skips over everything (aka disable)
slim heart
yes..
spring ember
you should use a hashmap (or dict or whatever)
slim heart
no idea what that is hehe
topaz fjord
i run 7.6 mysql queries a second kek
slim heart
ofc it checks over every msg cuz it has to?
elder rapids
If you're checking something on a database every second I sure damn hope you're using a mem cache
spring ember
you should have cache in case the bot is rebooting
elder rapids
No you just have cache in general
spring ember
umm yes
slim heart
idek whatever idrc lmaoo
spring ember
What lib are you using?
elder rapids
You'll care about caching eventually
slim heart
science turtle said it should ignore this server
elder rapids
Just wait
slim heart
Ur prolly right but i have no clue even what it is now
spring ember
It will have problems in dbl
slim heart
wym
spring ember
Bothell will overkill it
slim heart
cough
if(message.guild.id == "264445053596991498") return;
cough
spring ember
Lol
topaz fjord
theres no way i can cache something if its constantly chaging
elder rapids
DBL isn't your main problem anyways
topaz fjord
its the big ones
elder rapids
Are you just going to if (guildid == VERY_LARGE_GUILD) return to EVERY one of them?
You possibly can't
spring ember
Also even small guilds can make enough noise
elder rapids
Depending how often they chat in it/do stuff
topaz fjord

elder rapids
Some people even like to spam messages for fun, RIP bot
slim heart
how would i store a function in another file so it can be called by multiple seperate programs
glossy sand
in what language
slim heart
js
glossy sand
there's a global object called module.exports independent to a js file
and the value you assign to it is the value returned when you require() that file
slim heart
so i can make a seperate .js file and then call it as a module in both programs?
glossy sand
e.g. you could have a file called thing.js that contains the code ```js
module.exports = function(x) {
console.log('Hello, world!');
};
then you could, in another file, go
const f = require('./thing.js');
f();
and it would print Hello, world!
slim heart
Alright dope thanks
slim heart
Okay new problem with that, is there anyway i can define some of the things outside of the export? cuz it wont even define message on its own none the less some of the things i need to define other then it
its just a bunch of ReferenceError's
@glossy sand
slim heart
Nvrm
but also now is there a way to like break a forEach thing
Cuz if two args match the things i specify it'll do the function twice, so is there a way to like break or whatever the whole forEach statement
glossy sand
you can require stuff in your file too lol
knotty steeple
how would i go making a poll command using reactions

why not ask your question here

because im stupid asf and rather than showing it to more people, ill just show it to one person
ok ill just do it here haha
so
my bots were all red bots
and now i wanna start making a bot from scratch
and i am having trouble running the code to turn on the bot
ill gist my code
i got it to be in the console, but keep on getting the Unclosed client session client_session: <aiohttp.client.ClientSession object at 0x0374AB10> error
thanks c;

@knotty steeple what lang
static lynx
oh yeah
ruby dust
Change your token while it's not too late
static lynx
lmfao there
knotty steeple
for wat
mental solstice
U said u need reaction polling
mental solstice
Eh.. there should be a ReactionAdded event. Or similar
indigo notch
Eris is better but in djs you have reactionCollector
mental solstice
If u use a command. Assign the message id of the poll message to a variable. In the ReactionAdded event, keep the tally depending on, if (emote.name == .....) voteYes++.
mental solstice
Or if these guys who know discord.js know a better solution
next bluff
@static lynx is that the only error in the logs?
indigo notch
Im a eris guy but i do know djs
static lynx
yes
wanton walrus
mental solstice
No issue modifying in c#
next bluff
@static lynx TBH I haven't used discord.py but are you sure you need to be passing in the client ID to start the bot? Seems like you should be passing the token
static lynx
well i’ve been reading this guide, and already asked 2 people
next bluff
It seems like you're not using the token anywhere
That is the only thing that jumps out at me
next bluff
verbal night
:p

i turned on my bot and as soon as it was on, it replied to my messages

it had a problem with formatting and external css
actually it had a problem with css all together
gilded blaze
ye ima try it
static lynx
look how creepy lmfao
earnest phoenix
slim heart
ik this might sound kinda stupid but how would i make it so that an error doesnt put up a gigantic message in console? cuz in order for my bot to work it has to throw a noncrash error so it just kinda spams
slim heart
js
earnest phoenix
try {
// ... code that throws error here ...
}
catch (e) {} // void error
or if you're using promises
earnest phoenix
errorousStatement().catch(e);
I DONT want it to say the error
I want it just to ignore it in the console windows but still do whatever error things it does in the background
It's weird but basically I need to break a forEach statement and it can only happen under and error
mental solstice
Well if u know what the error is, write a condition in the loop for it.. null reference,.. etc
slim heart
no idea how 😮
mental solstice
Do you know why the error is happening?
slim heart
Yes cuz im trying to console.log something undefined (on purpose)
mental solstice
You can put your try/catch inside your loop... try { console.log(logThis) } catch { console.log ("custom log message when error happens"); continue;)}
Or before you log something that isnt null... in c#.. if (var == null) { console.log ("null message"); continue; }
slim heart
but that voids the error
mental solstice
What do u want to happen when it errors?
slim heart
I want it to do its normal thing but not say anything in the console window
mental solstice
Thats what that code would do.. continue would simply skip that iteration of the loop, and move to the next
U dont have to log anything
slim heart
But I don't want to continue on to the next loop
I want to break the entire forEach statement
mental solstice
If (var == null) break;
mental solstice
K
slim heart
Alright, so, line 8 has the error
which is in a function that is run everytime an arg matches all the stuff
What i need is ONCE the arg is matched and the function is ran, i dont want it to keep checking all the other args
mental solstice
Line 8 is a console log
slim heart
So i have to error
in order to stop the forEach from continuing
Yes i console.log a non existent variable to crash the statement but not the entire bot
mental solstice
Then make all your conditions in your arg checks require that bool to be false. Or do what gpw said, if that works
halcyon abyss
it will return first element matched by testing function specified
But you'll have to adapt a little your func
slim heart
Alright now the error isnt even do it IDEK im to tired ima go to sleep sorry for bothering gn lmaoo

there's this nice standard called jwt

so dbl tokens are timestamp, id and if it is a bot or not
i find the last part funny lmao

it's kinda like if it's the new bot token thing

@knotty steeple its harder for non-nitros to grab animated emotes but i found a way around that
since most libraries allow summoning emotes from id's and you can

Yeah kinda
Some "free" providers have the thing that there is free option and a paid one that is a lot better than the free one.
ruby dust
skysilk is so far the only actual vps that has a free plan that's enough to host a discord bot for up to 500 servers
and maybe more
you should look into that instead
but you do need a credit card regardless, that is just to verify your identity

Alright I have a errorous statement on purpose however, but it doesn't crash it only breaks the statement which is what I want, however, I am now incorporating mysql meaning that it crashes the entire bot which is not what I want, is there either a way to make my error not crash fully or is there a type of error mysql doesnt fully crash on
Just fyi, the error is attemping to console.log a non existant variable

Just try catch it or prevent the error from happening in the first place

What does your code look like?
slim heart
currently with what i need is working
What I want to work (has mysql)
It's a little different in some places, cuz one is the actual one running and the other is my testing file
But the only difference im focusing on is the second one has mysql and is full crashing while the 1st only ReferenceError and continues on
inner jewel
@weak turret how are you building the jar?
inner jewel
use the shadowJar plugin
if you used the jda example build.gradle you already have it
weak turret
so basically use this https://github.com/JDA-Applications/JDA-Utilities/blob/master/build.gradle
inner jewel
no
the example is this ```gradle
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_366'
}
compileJava.options.encoding = 'UTF-8'```
notice the plugins block
you just need to have that and mainClassName

I have an issue
I normally do msg.content.split(' ')
How can i do that with the spread operator?

wat u mean
.split() is splitting a string on what u ask it to split
so "hi my name is Telk".split(" ") will give ["hi", "my", "name", "is"...]

Okay just to let you know it's best to not just ask for help. Say what you need help with/post the code you need help with in this channel say the lang and lib of the bot and then wait for someone who knows said lib to respond
Cause otherwise they'll have to wait for you to get back to them to even know if they can help you at all since you didn't say what lang the bot is in

Hey there
How can i set BOT PREFIX in a python bot
And add {prefix} for example at cmds
For example i have '&&help' i want to delete && from all commands and to save only in main file
earnest phoenix
@tardy hatch May i suggest reading the discord.py documentation, They explain it all there and they even have examples.
Discord.py has more then one version. So the answer to your question comes down if you are using the latest or rewrite version.
earnest phoenix
What problem?
quasi raptor
how can i get channel id automacilly with my bot through this command:
!SAY-CHANNEL #general HELLO!
quasi raptor
C++
earnest phoenix
(Can't help you with that one :))
quasi raptor
JS?
earnest phoenix
Just try to get #general in the arguments.
In the code the output looks like <# 1234567890 >
Just remove the <# and > and you got yourself a id.
quasi raptor
@earnest phoenix ok thanks
i just need to know the step to get id, but i can write script by myself.
earnest phoenix
Ye i know some languages, but some languages i completely forgotten as it was to stressfull in my head to remember all the different methods 😛
So this is my code: https://hastebin.com/exekutiwot.js but I don't see no error but still the bot won't respond when I use the command.
The language Node.js
The library Discord.js
Also I only installed one of the packages cheerio do you think that might be the error??
Tag me if you think you can help me.
No one?
uncut slate
you have your code wrapped in a function you never invoke
earnest phoenix
?
Meaning?
Sorry I don't really much about scripting.
I am good with packages.
And like admin command.
uncut slate
consider the following function
function foo () { // module.exports.run
console.log('foo is called');
}
foo(); // logs
that is what you are supposed to have
what you have is
function foo () { // module.exports.run
function bar () { // async function googleCommand
console.log('foo is called');
}
}
foo(); // does not log
you're moving all of your code into a nested function and never invoking that function
earnest phoenix
Oh I see.
Ok gtg.
Can you explain it to me in my Dms so I can read it all when I get back?
But now when I do that I get a lot of errors.
uncut slate
can't help you if you don't tell me what the errors are 🤷
tardy hatch
Lmao

earnest phoenix

@earnest phoenix

knotty steeple
he doesnt need winscp if his bot is on his pc
earnest phoenix
True.
these are my files the top is where my tutorial stuff is
Ok go back to windows power shell.
Type cd app.js
Assuming there is no directory leading to those.
This is what it came up with
Ok so there is a directory leading to those files.
What did you press to get to those files?
Or actually.
Try node app.js
ill try the node
Or you can do node FettBot/app.js
If node app.js doesn’t work.

how do i make a js file ffs
lament meteor
@knotty steeple i told u.... it was a folder not a file
knotty steeple
it was a folder before tho
earnest phoenix
can someone tell me how to make a js file pls
knotty steeple
bot.js
knotty steeple
open it with a code editor
knotty steeple
ok
lament meteor
pls look at https://anidiots.guide/ for tutorials. cause u seem to not know anything
earnest phoenix
Jut app.js has more stuff in it like commands too.
knotty steeple
i recommend visual studio code for js files
earnest phoenix
app.js is here my commands are in
knotty steeple
visual studio is for C# and stuff
lament meteor
package.json.... unless u hide the extension
earnest phoenix
do i change that
lament meteor
oh nvm
knotty steeple
it already is
lament meteor
it has a hidden ext
knotty steeple
^
earnest phoenix
package is a json file
what about config change that to a json?
Yes.
ok ill try to change it
earnest phoenix
umm ok
lament meteor
why not.... u learn js
knotty steeple
yea
knotty steeple
discordie
earnest phoenix
idk that was in a tutorial for discord.js
knotty steeple
wait thats the package.json for discordie
earnest phoenix
i think so idk
knotty steeple
ok
lament meteor
Just pls step away and learn js and get familiar with node.js cause this is taking us no where as.......
earnest phoenix
yup
knotty steeple
i think
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
oh
knotty steeple
when you do that then npm init
earnest phoenix
Init?
lament meteor
it makes a package.json for u
earnest phoenix
Oh.
You are still in the wrong one.
Do control c
how i did shift click on FettBot folder
it says package name
what do i name the package?
Package.json?
knotty steeple
no
knotty steeple
just do npm init where your app.js file is
earnest phoenix
IT IS IT
earnest phoenix
what do i name the package!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
knotty steeple
JUST DO npm init WHERE YOUR FILES ARE AND CONTINUE WITH IT
earnest phoenix
Anakin are you still in npm?
knotty steeple
@earnest phoenix google learn node.js
the package name is your bot name essentially
earnest phoenix
Yeah.
If you are using JS use VS Code.
VS is for C# and other stuff like C
is it free?
Yes,
ok ill download it rn
lament meteor
he does iirc
knotty steeple
iirc
earnest phoenix
iirc?
lament meteor
iirc = if i recall correctly
earnest phoenix
