restive silo
you use the reaction thing from discordjs.guide right?
granite hedge
stable
restive silo
okay so
waxen quest
Can anyone help me with how to edit bot's message after X seconds, please?
restive silo
what happens is that you try to get the reaction what was removed already so your const reaction = message.reactions.get(emojiKey); returns undefined
thats why your emitted event also throws that error
granite hedge
@waxen quest I can if it's in js
waxen quest
It is
inner jewel
use setTimeout
granite hedge
^^
granite hedge
in a .then(
granite hedge
Would there be a fix to the reaction thing?
granite hedge
but then it won't work for uncached messages no?
granite hedge
sure thanks for your help

I got my discord bot to update server count on the website on ready, guildCreate, and guildDelete
deep inlet
Hmm
That's unecessary
There's a thing that updates it automatically
const dbl = new DBL('Your discordbots.org token', client);
That will update it automatically periodically
ocean vale
does anyone know why it says invaild syntax when i try to run my discord bot because every time i add a new command it would invaild syntax and show a red line on client
quiet bobcat
you forgot to close a bracket
ocean vale
?
quiet bobcat
you forgot to close a bracket
ocean vale
idk how to close a bracket
quiet bobcat
( unclosed bracket () closed bracket
gilded blaze
LOL
WTF
HE DIDNT MEAN LITERALLY
For each bracket you open there needs to be one to close it
ocean vale
k
gilded blaze
Or else the program assumes everything after is in the brackets
ocean vale
im not really a "good"developer so idk how
latent copper
Look up the basics of the language you're trying to use (Python in this case), it will come in very handy! I mean if you don't know how to close a bracket then how are you possibly gonna help if someone needs help with your bot not working or if there's a bug that needs fixing? Keep at it though, the more you do the more you'll remember and learn along the way! π

how to make this so it sends the xp in the channel and not in the console?
let taget = message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.members.get(args[1]) || message.author;
con.query(`SELECT * FROM xp WHERE id = '${target.id}'`, (err, rows) => {
if(err) throw err;
let xp = rows[0].xp;
message.channel.send(xp);
});
}
module.exports.help = {

what doesnt work? is there an error?
high lava
I'm trying to shard starting with 2 spawns, but the Debug console keeps outputting
It looks like it also keep restarting shards, but they wont stay on for more than half a second
quartz kindle
try without the inspector
sharding starts a separate node process, which cant be attached to the same debugger address
high lava
So I actually have to run it?
quartz kindle
either without the inspector, or configure the inspector to use a different port
high lava
Thanks. That fixed it. I thought it was just a wrong line or something
Even though it was literally three lines of code

yes

bot.ratelimits isnt a thing
sick cloud
@topaz fjord it could be a custom variable.
topaz fjord
then .ratelimits doesnt have the method .get
sick cloud
like bot.ratelimits = new Discord.Collection(); or something
collections have .get() right?

grizzled totem
how do i make my help command split into categories? it just lists them all in one bunched up list right now
quartz kindle
there are many ways to do it
for example you can split it into different categories yourself, and have a command argument for each of them
like help 1 help 2 etc
or name them
quartz kindle
make help and index, and help name the actual thing
grizzled totem
like General, Moderation, etc
sounds complicated though, and it wouldn't work since if you give my help command an arg it'll show command information
quartz kindle
to split it into different fields in the same message, you can use this to help you design it
grizzled totem
well
i know how to add fields
const { RichEmbed, version } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
name: 'help',
description: 'Lists all the bots commands, and can optionally provide in-depth information on a specific command or module.',
usage: '',
aliases: ['h'],
execute: async (msg, args) => {
const help = new RichEmbed()
.setColor('#7289DA')
.setTitle('Listing ' + client.commands.size + ' commands:')
.setDescription(`Start any commands listed below with \`!\` to use the command, or optionally add a command name on the end of the help command to get information on a command. If you need any help, [click here](<removed>). \n\n${client.commands.map(command => `\`${command.name}\``).join(', ')}`)
.setFooter(`running discord.js v${version}-stable`)
msg.channel.send({ embed: help });
}
}
thats my commands code
it basically maps the commands, but it won't sort
quartz kindle
if you want everything in the same message, use fields
if you want it split over different messages, then you have to add arguments
grizzled totem
um
you don't understand my question
i want to use fields, but i don't know how to adapt my dynamic help command so it sorts the commands into the correct field/category @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
instead of this ${client.commands.map(command => `${command.name}`).join(', ')}
use a logic that sorts them and puts them into fields, instead of description
or write them yourself manually
grizzled totem
so maybe add a .filter before .map?
quartz kindle
you can add a filter, if it fits your needs
grizzled totem
.addField('General', `${client.commands.filter(command => command.category === 'General').map(command => `\`${command.name}\``).join(', ')}`, true)```
would this work?yeah
quartz kindle
yeah test it out
quartz kindle

Rethink all the way :^)
quartz kindle
is rethink really that good?
grizzled totem
i know of rethink, its alright
unsure if it'd be good for a bot though that might grow
i don't want to touch sql or anything
inner jewel
rethink? @ amy
quartz kindle
im using json lul
but my bot is not big
what about leveldb?
doesnt work with shards tho
grizzled totem
never heard of it
quartz kindle
levelb was developed by google enginners
but its like a very optimized flat file db, not an actual rmdb
can only have one connection/process at a time
grizzled totem
doesn't really sound good for a mod bot
quartz kindle
its more than enough
any db is probably more than enough for a discord bot
these things are designed to support millions of transactions, discord bots are nothing for them
grizzled totem
connections though is small
like if there are lots of actions happening it can make the bot hang right?
quartz kindle
only if you're a bad coder
grizzled totem
which i probably am π
quartz kindle
if you do things right and use non-blocking calls, it wont hang
or put everything into memory, unless you need to cache big things like images
for example, my commands only save to db, never load from it
everything is loaded into memory at once when the bot starts
quartz kindle
so whats your db choice fishy?
keen drift
mongodb
quartz kindle
a very popular one indeed, i havent tried it yet
keen drift
high availability cluster makes it my favorite
grizzled totem
is it easy to use?
i kind of want the ease side, like database.get(msg.author.id)
keen drift
eh sorta?
I use an ORM
This is an example query:
[ err, result ] = await to(
ReactRole.find({
guild: target.guild.id,
channel: target.channel.id,
msg: target.id,
emoji: {
$in: target.reactions.map(v => {
return v.emoji.id ? `${v.emoji.name}:${v.emoji.id}` : v.emoji.name
})
}
})
);
i know of enmaps, unsure though since people called it a beginners database
quartz kindle
its simply a wrapper that does the connection for you. you can still chose which db you want to have behind it
grizzled totem
ah
would sqlite be a good choice? since i see it allows rethinkdb too but um, i dunno
quartz kindle
the difference is that enmaps automatically saves whenever you do .set()
grizzled totem
hm
i'll think about it anyways.. and can you guys help me with my aliases? they don't work
floral stone
I use mysql for my bot
keen drift
what framework is this
grizzled totem
discord.js
keen drift
And the command framework?
grizzled totem
i'm not sure what you mean
keen drift
Discord.js doesn't provide frameworking for commands
grizzled totem
i made my own
keen drift
then you should know how to use it?
grizzled totem
well it should work honestly
but i don't know why aliases don't work and i'm asking for help to fix them
i'm new to making bots
earnest phoenix
@keen drift Did you make the command?
grizzled totem
so no one wants to help?
earnest phoenix
whats wrong?
grizzled totem
read up
keen drift
you need to provide code for us to help
keen drift
where is the module being imported at
keen drift
Can we see it?
grizzled totem
keen drift
can I see your package.json
grizzled totem
i don't have one
keen drift
package-lock?
grizzled totem
nope
keen drift
What do you use to import dependencies?
grizzled totem
commands/
help.js
avatar.js

config.js
messageHandler.js
app.js
logo.png
thats my file structure, and i import dependencies per-file
like when needed
keen drift
Import dependencies, as in your dependency manager
keen drift
you don't have a package-lock.json?
earnest phoenix
@keen drift Sup
grizzled totem
nope
keen drift
@earnest phoenix https://gist.github.com/RumbleFrog/7d1e5ca660dfe80147c27029bc7fd60b
the fuck
Did you deleted the lock file or some shit
earnest phoenix
Fishy a bots saying youβre swearing...
grizzled totem
there was never a lock file
keen drift
npm install discord.js --save does not generate any lock?
keen drift
i is install
keen drift
idk how you work with js projects with a dependency manager without a lock file
What other dependencies did you pull via npm
grizzled totem
why is this related to my handler though? and none really
all i've used is discord.js
keen drift
Because client.commands does not exist within discord.js
grizzled totem
it does?
grizzled totem
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
i define it myself
const client = new Discord.Client({ disableEveryone: true });
global.client = client;
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
in app.js:
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
try {
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
console.log(`+ ${command.category.toLowerCase()}/${command.name} loaded`);
} catch(err) {
console.log(`- a command failed while loading: \n${err.stack}`);
}
}
.has looks for map key name
if h is an alias, you should be using .find
It's returned here if (!client.commands.has(commandName)) return;
grizzled totem
well that isn't where aliases are triggered
keen drift
where is alias triggered
grizzled totem
this is where, in messageHandler.js:
const command = client.commands.get(commandName) || client.commands.find(cmd => cmd.aliases && cmd.aliases.includes(commandName));
But can it proceed to that if the previous statement returns?
grizzled totem
umm, i think so?
keen drift
...?
So you are saying if (!client.commands.has(commandName)) return; returns and it will still proceed?
keen drift
it should be returning
grizzled totem
should i remove it and try that?
keen drift
yeah
grizzled totem
well it didn't
keen drift

Like possibly doing it on the return line
I doubt it but maybe
keen drift
fuck I gotta refresh my python memory
floral stone
I know a one line if statement but it doesn't work in this situtation
keen drift
return m.channel == channel and m.author == user and (keyword is not None or m.contentlower() in keywords)
i think that works
floral stone
That may work
high lava
Ok. Fishy. This is what I'm working with right now
try {
const code = args.join(' ');
let evaled = eval(code);
if (typeof evaled !== 'string') {evaled = require('util').inspect(evaled);}
message.channel.send(clean(evaled), { code:'xl' });
}
catch (err) {
message.channel.send(`\`ERROR\` \`\`\`xl\n${clean(err)}\n\`\`\``);
}
My only issue is that this seems to only send values that are strings. So Im wondering if just getting rid of the 4th line all together would work or completely break this
floral stone
It worked @keen drift but I had to chnage some of it. I forgot you could use () xD

@high lava You can stringify it

what are you using to find the channel
high lava
It doesn't matter what I stringify. I still get ```javascript
Promise { <pending> }
Even with the default stringifying from utils.inspect with the added stringifying on the results, it only returns an array in the console. not the message
earnest phoenix
How would I even start using MySQL with DiscordJS/Node
keen drift
@grizzled totem I think you have to pass a channel object
So you have to search the collection
keen drift
@high lava Because that's a promise, you have to await the result
oh null doesn't exist?
keen drift
null does not exist though
keen drift
that's how db interprets null
grizzled totem
what do i have to set it as, undefined maybe?
keen drift
if you want an empty value, pass an empty string
grizzled totem
can i set it as undefined?
keen drift
i think it's still null in db
keen drift
what are you checking it with
grizzled totem
if (!guild.modlog) return msg.reply('that config value doesn\'t exist.');
i console log'd modlog and it gave me 'disabled' which is the string i set it as

quartz kindle
quick question: how to remove own reactions? like .send().then(msg.react()).then(remove reaction) ? something like that
night imp
d.js?
quartz kindle
ye
im adding a reaction collector on a message for an hour, i want to remove the reactions (bots own reactions, not other peoples) after the reaction collector ends
quartz kindle
does that work without manage messages permission?
night imp
Well, default is the client so I assume that it would, I haven't personally tried it myself
languid dragon
Msg.react().then(reaction => reaction.delete())
Or at least handle something with "reaction"
night imp
I don't think there is a delete 
let me see
keen drift
there's a remove
night imp
yeah what cosmo said but with remove()
night imp
default being the client
keen drift
oh yeah it has default
night imp
so in your case <message>.reactions.remove() or <reaction>.remove()
night imp
inb4 anyone know about wakatime
languid dragon
@quartz kindle do you read the documentation
quartz kindle
yeah i just did
languid dragon
Before asking?
keen drift
@night imp Yeah I think it's cached
quartz kindle
yes i did, the reason i asked is because i tried it before and it didnt work
but i dont recall exactly how did i try it
night imp
@keen drift ok I'll wait a day and see if it updates
languid dragon
Well i dont think its so much the methods you are worried about just your code logic tbh
night imp
wait let me try the api
quartz kindle
i figured id try again
night imp
nvm bot is bad
quartz kindle
i just asked to confirm the methods are correct
high lava
if(message.author.id === `${botID}`) {
message.delete();
}
This doesn't seem to work at all
if (message.content.startsWith('\'nou') || message.content.startsWith('\'help') || message.content.startsWith('\'thot') || message.content.startsWith('\'copy')) {
message.delete();
}
I assumed it would work the same way as this. This works perfectly at the moment. The bot just won't delete its own messages
high lava
This is the entire command
if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}` + 'clear')) {
if(message.author.id !== `${ownerID}`) return;
if(message.author.id === `${botID}`) {
message.delete();
}
}
high lava
The ID number of my bot, and the ownerID is my ID
mental solstice
Do u need have .then and .catch
languid dragon
And are you ignoring bot users
high lava
Yes. right after Client.on()
if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
I didn't realize that would have an effect on deletion. thanks
languid dragon
Well the thing is
Any message any bot sends is instantly ignored and the entire code returns/stops at that point
So there is no way for your message.delete method to run
high lava
Or anything else related to messages that were made by a bot
grizzled totem
i keep getting this issue
the underlined bit (reason) is empty no matter what and then the command errors
despite me putting in like a billion fallbacks
command code (purge.js): https://hastebin.com/begonadove.js
languid dragon
you make too many checks to see if reason exists or not
i dont think that'd be why it doesn't work but try putting the rest of it inside try{} as well
grizzled totem
alright
languid dragon
and only make 1 check to see if reason is empty
if (!reason || reason === undefined || reason === null || reason === "") {
that should do it
grizzled totem
alright
languid dragon
also are you okay with nitpicks and suggestions?
grizzled totem
of course π
languid dragon
Ok so you have require('../moderationActions') inside a function and generally it's good practice to declare it before module.exports or at the very beginning of the document
that way it's not called every time you use the prune function
grizzled totem
ah, alright. so i can just do const { purge } = require('../moderationActions'); or something at the top of the file?
languid dragon
exactly
grizzled totem
i'll change that for all my mod commands then, since i use the same require way
languid dragon
does your purge function have the RichEmbed feature?
grizzled totem
whats that..?
languid dragon
languid dragon
ah yeah, i assume you know what's up with that error then?
is that related to reason being empty
grizzled totem
yep
languid dragon
try give reason a default value say reason = "this is a reason" and test that
grizzled totem
so.. set the reason as a default, then set the reason again if the user provides one?
languid dragon
actually yeah
set the reason as
"No reason provided."
and only change it IF there is user input
grizzled totem
alright
languid dragon
that way, no matter what, reason will have a value
grizzled totem
hm, stupidly either my bot isn't reloading right.. or its still not working
this is the code now: https://hastebin.com/semoqimija.js
but it still gives the same reason doesn't exist error
languid dragon
im going to make some edits and show u what i did to see if i can help you along
grizzled totem
alright
languid dragon
you've restarted the bot and the code was reloaded and you're 100% sure you're working on the right file
try console.log(reason, userReason, amount) to see the outputs of everything
grizzled totem
restarted again just to make sure, now its saying can't read property trim of undefined
grizzled totem
just running !purge 5
languid dragon
oh lul 1 sec
grizzled totem
okie
languid dragon
okay remove trim() from both [0] and [1] and put it on userReason
also do you know how async/await works?
grizzled totem
alright i'll remove it, and um kinda
languid dragon
can you show me a bit of your code when you run .execute(msg, args)
grizzled totem
like the message event?
languid dragon
yes
grizzled totem
high lava
I have 2 shards just because at this point and they both work perfectly fine. I was just wondering if they automatically balance it over time?
languid dragon
balance what?
grizzled totem
don't you need to start sharding at 2500 guilds?
high lava
Yeah, you can still do it earlier tho
grizzled totem
ah ok
high lava
I did it so I could could code with sharding in mind at an earlier time
grizzled totem
smart
languid dragon
have you ever used promises
grizzled totem
uhh is that the .then().catch() kind of thing?
grizzled totem
i have used them a few times i think, usually i try use try catch since it kinda looks nicer
ah
grizzled totem
lol
languid dragon
canvasβ’
ok so i've rewritten your code as an example of how i'd write it
you dont need to do it that way, it's just another perspective and i think something that'll help out a bit
high lava
After reading this I just realized that there's a ping property for the client...
Jesus christ, I always do the hardest stuff
grizzled totem
alright
languid dragon
im still learning about await/async myself tbh
but i think using throw "err" will be handy, i didn't include it because im really not sure
all i know is that throw = .catch()
and return = .then()
high lava
I've just been using try and catch with some .then().catch() here and there
languid dragon
@uncut slate would be able to tell you more about this, he's a JS god
the thing is with my bot i have it all promises, and so if an error occurs it is caught by my message handler, so i dont have to worry so much if i break some code
high lava
you have that for every command?
languid dragon
yeah that's the message handler
all my commands are promises and if an error occurs they reject() and send that back to the error handler
i can show you an example in #commands
high lava
I think I may want to do that at some point. lol. I know I don't catch everything so I feel like my bot can suddenly crash at any moment π
Sure
young cradle
@languid dragon, read the Promise page in mdn if you want to know more about it, to understand async/await, first you need to understand promises.
young cradle
Well, you said
all i know is that throw = .catch()
and return = .then()
By that it doesn't looks like you really understand Promise, specially as <Promise>.then(); has a second argument.
languid dragon
yeah im pretty nooby at explaining things tbf
young cradle
It happens, if anything goes wrong, just send an mdn page + stackoverflow, always works.
languid dragon
thanks

can't blame you for not understanding it

if you add more options onto a SQL query (like a WHERE clause, attributes (in the case of postgres)), does it slow down the return time of the query?
keen drift
Not necessarily
If you index it correctly
Obv it will be slower with some conditionals
earnest phoenix
would also make updating/insert/delete slightly slower since it has to update more indexes
keen drift
But it will be in the Β΅s
latent copper
Does anyone know what extra I need to do for the bot = commands.AutoShardedBot in discord.py or do I just have that with no params and sharding works automatically? Tbh, I don't really get how it works in the first place lol
slender thistle
rip parentheses
Got a prefix set up or?
The sharding is automated, that's correct
keen drift
Depending on how that lib shards it, there may or may not be extra things
slender thistle
That's why it is called "AutoShardedBot"
keen drift
If it spawns multiple processes, and have a parent process, things that relies on full data collection will not work correctly
Some sharding method will just create additional socket connection with Discord, leaving it as one process, in that case there's nothing extra to be done
Multiple processes will always be superior, so there's a tradeoff between easy to use vs performance
I can't remember which one discord.py uses, I believe it spawns additional processes
latent copper
Thanks, that's what I was wondering, if it requires me to do any extra setup but I just noticed this and it seems not so should be alright with literally just having that line in there to set it up.
A client similar to Client except it handles the complications of sharding for the user into a more manageable and transparent single process bot.
When using this client, you will be able to use it as-if it was a regular Client with a single shard when implementation wise internally it is split up into multiple shards. This allows you to not have to deal with IPC or other complicated infrastructure.
It is recommended to use this client only if you have surpassed at least 1000 guilds.
If no shard_count is provided, then the library will use the Bot Gateway endpoint call to figure out how many shards to use.
If a shard_ids parameter is given, then those shard IDs will be used to launch the internal shards. Note that shard_count must be provided if this is used. By default, when omitted, the client will launch shards from 0 to shard_count - 1
Yeah, I don't fancy messing about with IPC if I don't need to at the moment lol Thanks Fishy!

How does one open() a file from a folder that is in the same folder as the .py file?
earnest phoenix
Hey
latent copper
with open(r'folder/file.ext', 'r+') as f:
value = int(f.read())
f.seek(0)
f.write(DATA TO WRITE GOES HERE)
f.close()
That kind of thing?
Although you'll need to change it for what you want it to do, that will overwrite the contents of said file
(and the value line is specific to what I used it for so you can ignore that) but f.read() will get the contents @slender thistle (ping in case you missed the replies)

await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Game(name=f'ready in {bot.guilds} servers'))
TypeError: change_presence() got an unexpected keyword argument 'activity'
That's rewrite for sure, because else my bot wouldn't run
Ignore the bot.guilds thing, actually. It's wrong
latent copper
str(len(bot.guilds)) or len(bot.guilds) I had to use I think
slender thistle
Yeah, still the same error
latent copper
Other than that, I dunno why it would throw the activity type error if you're using rewrite. You sure it's the latest version?
slender thistle
Yep
I mean, I would pretty much get some errors at least for my on_message events in main file :p
latent copper
Does it matter which order you specify status and activity maybe?
latent copper
hmm π
And you've got it under a @bot.event and on_ready() method? I really dunno what to suggest that's weird if you're using the latest rewrite like you say

what is the random cat website?

@desert bough you will need to run nvm use v8.11.3 every time you want to start the bot

wouldn't that mean that if I blacklist someone it will affect in up to 10 minutes rather than instantly?

@ruby dust In theory, but you could flush the cache for added ones
but without cache it'll work fine
db should be able to handle it
I've seen way more intensive operation working smooth
