[earnest phoenix]

yes

this is C++ meme but relevant lmao https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/464603014691291166/473235272755314689/image.jpg

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[cobalt cape]

Ok so Javascript people:

To make my bot say something when it joins a new server, would I do something like:

client.on('guildCreate', guild => {

Or would I do something different? I'm not really sure how to do this

[steel drum]

i mean

as long as thats the right action

which it should

i tihnk you're fine

thing is i think .defaultChannel is read-only

i also think its deprecated

dont hold me to that

so it might be funky

maybe just pming the owner some stuff

[cobalt cape]

I think it's systemChannel

[steel drum]

would be the safest option ?

oh really ?

let me try ito n my bot

brb

[cobalt cape]

I think so

idk

[knotty steeple]

defaultChannel is depreciated

there is no default channel

[cobalt cape]

I know that but whats the one that we should use

[knotty steeple]

loop through channels the bot can post to and get the first one

[cobalt cape]

Could work

I could also do what ben said

[knotty steeple]

it does

[cobalt cape]

and pm the owner

[west raptor]

That would be to much work especially if the bot gains servers fast

[knotty steeple]

what would be

[cobalt cape]

Sending pms to the owner

But that's the thing

I don't see my bot climbing that fast

[west raptor]

It will when it gets on a couple bot list

Well not

Like

[cobalt cape]

maybe

[west raptor]

10 servers a day but like 18 servers first day

[sick cloud]

if the owner has dms disabled

error

[west raptor]

Not 18

10

[sick cloud]

and people hate being dmd by bots

[cobalt cape]

True

[west raptor]

I would cycle through the channels and see which one the bot can send to first

[cobalt cape]

What's the command to do that

[sick cloud]

theres no command

you check permissions

[cobalt cape]

Oh

Right

[west raptor]

York made a tutorial on how to do it

[earnest phoenix]

or dont send a message on join

thats an option u know

like

they invited the bot

[cobalt cape]

I want the message thoygh

[earnest phoenix]

do u think they are gonan need a welcome message

[cobalt cape]

though

[sick cloud]

theres a good way

[earnest phoenix]

like "oh shit! that bot i invited 5 vseconds ago!"

almost forgot!

[sick cloud]

make the invite url redirect to a thank you website

my bot does that

kinda

[cobalt cape]

Oh cool

[west raptor]

Well it could be useful for setups that the not needs

Bot*

Autocorrect

Reee

[sick cloud]

also for dashboards

to redirect to server settings

[steel drum]

an organized command hierarchy

where commands are broken into sub categories

so that it would be easier to find commands

that are related

[upper ember]

var mail = require('mail').Mail({
  host: client.config.mailer.host,
  username: client.config.mailer.address,
  password: client.config.mailer.password,
});
mail.message({
  from: client.config.mailer.address,
  to: ['[e-mail]'],
  subject: 'Hello from Luki'
})
.body('Hellooooo Thereeeeeeeeeee')
.send(function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Sent!');
});

(node:21828) [DEP0064] DeprecationWarning: tls.createSecurePair() is deprecated. Please use tls.TLSSocket instead.

oof

help please

[sick cloud]

the channel topic says bot development

not random module breaking help

[knotty steeple]

this is for any kind of development

[knotty steeple]

ask a mod

[heady zinc]

staph mini-modding tony

[sick cloud]

its in the channel topic

not mini modding

[heady zinc]

ur in the channel topic

[sick cloud]

nou

[upper ember]

@sick cloud this is for my bot smh

https://mrsheldon.me/files/915489.png

btw it works

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sick cloud]

ok

[wide ruin]

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client(); 
const config = require("./config.json");
const { RichEmbed } = require('discord.js')

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
  let embed = new RichEmbed()
        .setTitle("Error")
        .setDescription("Could not find that user.")
        .setColor(0xff0000);
  
  if (args[0] == "help") {
    message.reply("Usage: $dm <user> <message>");
    return;
  }
  let dmMember = message.guild.members.get(message.mentions.users.first().id || args[0]);
  if (!dmMember) return message.channel.send(embed);
  else{
   const args = message.content.slice(config.prefix.length + 3).trim().split(/ +/g);
   const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
   const mention = message.mentions.users.first();
   const mentionID = mention.id;
   client.fetchUser(mentionID) .then(user => user.send(args));
    
  }
}
module.exports.help = {
  name: "dm"
}

this has an error

the command is used like this:

$dm @wide ruin message

and yes, 3 bots dmd me

[smoky spire]

Perhaps knowing the error could help us help you

[wide ruin]

one second

`module.js:487

throw err;

it says error: Cant find module ./config.json

[smoky spire]

You don’t have a config.json in that path

[wide ruin]

but it is a file

does it need commands/ at the start?

thats the files folder

[smoky spire]

Show your bot folder

./ only refers to the current folder, I’m assuming your config.json is not in the commands folder

[wide ruin]

no

let me change that

no error

let me test it qiockly

quickly*

[smoky spire]

You’ll probably get an error in your main bot file

[wide ruin]

`(node:17388) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): Error: Request to use token, but token was unavailable to the client.

[smoky spire]

Told ya

[wide ruin]

so how can i fix it?

[smoky spire]

Move your config.json back to your root path and change the ./config.json to ../config.json afaik

[wide ruin]

?

there is a file called config.json and one called commands/config.json

[smoky spire]

gtg sorry

[wide ruin]

ok

[karmic blaze]

Do numbers come before or after in sorting? Like, would it go 8ball, a_command, b_command or a_command, b_command, 8ball, or such?

[knotty steeple]

numbers then letters

[karmic blaze]

Alright, thanks. 😄

Weird question here, if I type +user @username i get the data for that user, but if i use @Koshi user @username i can only get the data for my bot/Koshi, how do i stop it from doing this?

[knotty steeple]

its getting the first mention

if it uses the mention prefix make it get the second mention

[wide ruin]

how can i make a var work on each file?

so i set it in one file

and send it in another

(d.jd)

[earnest phoenix]

hey pineapplefan

[wide ruin]

hi

can you help?

[earnest phoenix]

also before you say anything else

[wide ruin]

yeah?

[earnest phoenix]

does you dm command show who sent it

because if it doesn't

[karmic blaze]

Thing is I don't know how to check if the mention prefix is being used @knotty steeple

[wide ruin]

i decided against making the command

[earnest phoenix]

oh ok

[wide ruin]

so can you help now?

@earnest phoenix

[knotty steeple]

@karmic blaze how do you check if someone uses a prefix

[earnest phoenix]

with what

[knotty steeple]

show ur code

[wide ruin]

what i said earlier

how can i make a var work on each file?
so i set it in one file
and send it in another
(d.jd)

[karmic blaze]

First lines of my message event:

const { prefixes } = require('../config');

module.exports = async (client, msg) => {
    const prefix = prefixes.find(pre => msg.content.startsWith(pre));
    
    if (!prefix || msg.author.bot || !msg.guild) return;

...

(prefixes is an array, prefixes: ['+', '@random depot '],)

[earnest phoenix]

you mean like

[knotty steeple]

so check if prefix is = '@random depot '

[earnest phoenix]

how to make bot make its own code? @wide ruin

[wide ruin]

no

[karmic blaze]

Alright, I'll try pass it through and check.

[wide ruin]

use the same var in a different file

[knotty steeple]

global variables iirc

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[knotty steeple]

use module.exports and pass them in a function

[wide ruin]

how do i make a global variable?

?

[earnest phoenix]

what he said

[wide ruin]

module.exports(var name)?

[knotty steeple]

no

[wide ruin]

how then

[knotty steeple]

look at the docs for modules

[wide ruin]

which section?

@knotty steeple

[knotty steeple]

idk look around

[wide ruin]

i cant see modules anywhere

module.exports.hmm = true;

the var is called hmm

is that right @knotty steeple?

[knotty steeple]

https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_modules

[karmic blaze]

Is it possible to get a users join position?

(1, 2, etc..)

[west raptor]

wdym?

[slender thistle]

Sort all guild members by join date in a list/array and then get the certain member's position

[karmic blaze]

That.. sounds hard, lol

[ruby dust]

p sure d.py has that implemented

[slender thistle]

Python has sorted() and <list>.sort()

[ruby dust]

no I mean I remember doing that with shiramine bot

[slender thistle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ruby dust]

it's like you're interested

[earnest phoenix]

Im working with the spotify api.. I have the endpoint and have created the app but have no Idea how to get the token.. I only have the client secret and the client id

apperently theres this post request to get the token? I have no idea tbh

apperently you need to use an endpoint like this to get the token for the app? https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token

This is the endpoint Im trying to get btw https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/2yPnp0T86RmpNIQ07AkBQC

[runic cloud]

[runic cloud]

You help me?

@topaz fjord

Is Possible create a Bot WebDashboard, if it possible contact me in DM

[shell blade]

Could someone help me make my bot play audio in a voice chat? I've tried using different methods from the Discord.js website and none of them have worked.

[storm tulip]

@shell blade you mean music?

[shell blade]

Just audio files.

For a soundboard.

I've tried using this, but it didn't work.

const broadcast = bot.createVoiceBroadcast();

message.member.voiceChannel.join()
.then(connection => {
  broadcast.playFile('https://cdn.glitch.com/864c9828-b89f-4db5-8f87-89af38495227%2Fnot_to_be_racist.mp3');
  const dispatcher = connection.playBroadcast(broadcast);
}).catch(console.error);

These examples haven't been working.

How can i fix it?

here is the code

                }
            ]
        }});```

oh wait

[knotty steeple]

you cant leave it empty like that

[west raptor]

what

[knotty steeple]

member.roles.map().join(' | ')

[west raptor]

ye i noticed

for some reason i changed it before i came here, worked, and then reverted back

i may have it ctrl z

by accident

[earnest phoenix]

does anyone have any idea how can i add 20 seconds cool down before a user gets xp on each message?

    async def on_message(self, message):
        author = message.author
        await self._set_levels(author)
        await asyncio.sleep(20)
        try:
            self.data["user"][author.id]["total_xp"] += int(randint(10, 15))
            dataIO.save_json(self.file_path, self.data)
        except:
            pass```

this is my codes

[slender thistle]

Probably make a list and append user ID there and then check if the user ID is in there

[knotty steeple]

20 seconds cooldown

thats too much

[quartz kindle]

add a lastxp timestamp to his entry in the database

and on message check if difference between saved timestamp and current timestamp is bigger than 20 seconds, if it is, add xp and change the timestamp

[earnest phoenix]

understood (:

thanks tim!

[earnest phoenix]

https://hastebin.com/ciqujipeji.css

[quartz kindle]

wtf

you cant just copy and paste all of that

[earnest phoenix]

(:

[loud salmon]

did you just copy +paste your site css

[earnest phoenix]

mhm

[quartz kindle]

css is not just css, css is always css+html. they work together

[loud salmon]

that wont work

[earnest phoenix]

oh

[quartz kindle]

so you have to code specific css for the html of the website

[earnest phoenix]

oh

ight

[knotty steeple]

tf why https://samuraistacks-leader-of-the.succ.world/i/aq769ucw.png

[loud salmon]

im not sure

[proven surge]

can someone tell me whats wrong with this code

async def state(ctx,state= ""):
    """Shows information about a state."""
    if state == "":
        await bot.say(":x: | Please Specify a state")
        
    if state == "California":
        color = ''.join([random.choice('0123456789ABCDEF') for x in range(6)])
        color = int(color, 16)
        embed.add_field(name= "Admission to Statehood", value = "September 9, 1850 (31st State)")
        embed.add_field(name= "Area", value = "163,707 sq.mi (423,999 sq.km.)")
        embed.add_field(name= "Capital City", value = "Sacramento")
        embed.add_field(name= "Nickname", value = "Golden State")
        embed.set_footer(text= "{} | Requested by: {}".format(OceanConfig.BOTNAME, ctx.message.author))
        await bot.say(embed = embed)```

it keeps giving me this error

[knotty steeple]

you didnt define embed

[proven surge]

im a little new to this, what does that mean

[knotty steeple]

did you even learn anything about python

[proven surge]

yeah...

are you going to just criticize me

[knotty steeple]

no

the error says whats wrong

you didnt say what embed is in ur code

[proven surge]

name 'embed'; is not defined

[earnest phoenix]

Where would I get an emoji ID?

[proven surge]

[knotty steeple]

\:emoji:

[ruby dust]

it's always a good practice to learn about a programming language first before heading to make something as large as a discord bot

[earnest phoenix]

\✅

Hm?

[ruby dust]

that's a unicode, those don't have ids

[proven surge]

thats not an emoji lel

[knotty steeple]

it is?

[quartz kindle]

emoji IDs are only available in custom emojis

[proven surge]

/🤔

lel

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle Still, where would I get it?

O.o

[ruby dust]

!tickYes

that number

[earnest phoenix]

How did you get that?

[proven surge]

magic

[ruby dust]

put \ in front

[proven surge]

/

[earnest phoenix]

Ah ok. Thanks.

[inner jewel]

\

not /

[knotty steeple]

i just said what you had to do lmao

[proven surge]

!tickYes

ahhhhh

[quartz kindle]

also, @proven surge i dont know python, but im pretty sure your problem is this ```js
color = int(color, 16) // program: ok so color means int(color,16)
embed.add_field(name= "bla", value = "bla") //program: ok so embed is... wait what is an embed? you didnt tell me what an embed is yet

[proven surge]

back slasj

[earnest phoenix]

@knotty steeple I know, I tried it with a normal emoji and thought it didnt work until they told me

lmao

[ruby dust]

@quartz kindle their problem is that they went adding fields before defining the embed, if it is even defined anywhere

[quartz kindle]

thats exactly what i said, in noob language

[ruby dust]

yes, I don't understand noob language

[earnest phoenix]

\✅

😄

That spike in Memory when accessing an API cant be good...

Should I increase RAM?

[ruby dust]

only 20MB RAM?

[quartz kindle]

its just 3mb

assuming the spike is from 16 to 19

[ruby dust]

oh

[knotty steeple]

looks like

[ruby dust]

I'm blind

[earnest phoenix]

True true

[proven surge]

lel

thanks @quartz kindle, i figured it out

you could have just said add embed=discord.Embed()

😛

[quartz kindle]

that was for you to find out ;)

[proven surge]

but thanks anyway lel

[quartz kindle]

so now you know what the error means if it happens again

[west raptor]

we dont want to spoon feed you

[proven surge]

yes

and, ok i get that

now i shall add all the rest of the states

[west raptor]

yes

[stark frigate]

How do I make the text not to go off the image, I am using Canvas.

[quartz kindle]

use measureText

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/measureText

with this you can measure the length of the text before drawing, and adjust it accordingly

[stark frigate]

that seems complicated

how do I adjust the text doe?

[quartz kindle]

unfortunately there isnt a simpler solution

you have to break down the text yourself

for example, use split(" ") to get an array of words, and add each word to the sentence until it reaches a cap, which you can define by character length, or by measuretext length

then you have to finish the line, and create a new line

here's an example

https://www.html5canvastutorials.com/tutorials/html5-canvas-wrap-text-tutorial/

what he does in that example is exactly that, split sentence into words, create a new line, add one word at a time until it exceeds the limit, draw line, create new line with the exceeding word, continue

of course you have to move the Y coordinate to the next line as well

[stark frigate]

yeah, just trying and seeing how will it work

[wide ruin]

So I have a 8 ball command in d.js

You say $8ball <question>

I want a way to rig the answer

[west raptor]

no

well

yes

but thats not fun

[wide ruin]

Like $8ball <message> &&outcome=<outcome>

The code I need is to remove everything up to <outcome>

And save just <outcome> as a var

How is that done?

[knotty steeple]

use basic logic

check if message is something

if it is have your outcome

[wide ruin]

So I can do if(message.contains = "&&outcome=") {

@knotty steeple

[knotty steeple]

but uh something like that

[wide ruin]

How is it then

[knotty steeple]

contains isnt a thing

[wide ruin]

Is it contents?

[west raptor]

.includes()

[wide ruin]

Ah

[west raptor]

wait

message.content.includes()

[wide ruin]

if(message.content.includes("&& outcome=") {

Is that right?

[west raptor]

yes

i think

[wide ruin]

And can I just run an else after that?

Like normal

[west raptor]

uh ye, i think lol, i cant think rn

[wide ruin]

Thanks though

[west raptor]

np

[wide ruin]

It didnt work

if(message.content.includes("&& outcome=") { was what I used

@west raptor

[west raptor]

error?

[wide ruin]

Yeah

The last { had an error

Even with a }

A few lines below

[west raptor]

huh

[wide ruin]

So I did this:

if(message.content.includes("&& outcome=") {


}```

[west raptor]

i dont see the issue?

[wide ruin]

The { at the end of the first bit had the error

[west raptor]

can you give the full error?

[wide ruin]

Invalid syntax "{"

[west raptor]

huh

uh well

the if statment is fine

its probably other code affecting it

[topaz fjord]

can you code block it

[wide ruin]

let result = Math.floor((Math.random() * replies.length));
    let question = args.slice(0).join(" ");
    if(message.content.includes("&&outcome=") {
       
       
       }
       else{
    let ballembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
    .setAuthor(message.author.tag)
    .setColor("#00ff00")
    .addField("Question", question)
    .addField("Answer", replies[result]);

    message.channel.send(ballembed);
}```

[topaz fjord]

wheres the ennding to thne else statement

[wide ruin]

Cut off

[knotty steeple]

tfw you all cant see he is missing a )

[wide ruin]

O

[knotty steeple]

and im suprised you didnt see that yourself

[west raptor]

if(message.content.includes("&&outcome=")) {
       
       
}```

[topaz fjord]

@knotty steeple sir im legally bling

[west raptor]

same

[wide ruin]

And now

I need to just get the text after "&&outcome="

How do I do that?

[sullen path]

get the index of "&&outcome=" and substring things

best guess

[knotty steeple]

or just slice it out

[sullen path]

or split the text at "&&outcome=" and get arr[1]

🤷

[knotty steeple]

yea how would you do that

[sullen path]

I'm not js dev I'm using pseudocode

[wide ruin]

Please can you translate it into code

[knotty steeple]

what

translate it into code meaning spoonfeed?

[wide ruin]

Well

I kinda k ow how to slice

Know*

[knotty steeple]

ok then do it

[wide ruin]

const args = message.content.slice(config.prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);

This slices all after the prefix

But can I replace config.prefix.length with "&&outcome="?

[knotty steeple]

well

you have to slice the prefix and that

[wide ruin]

So if the command is" $8ball <question> &&outcome=<outcome>"

Do I need to do both?

[knotty steeple]

wait

what the fuck is &&outcome=<outcome> supposed to do

[wide ruin]

Set the outcome of the 8ball

[inner jewel]

you could use Array.find

[wide ruin]

But custom things

[inner jewel]

args.find(x=>x.startsWith("&&outcome="))

[wide ruin]

How would that fit into the code?

[knotty steeple]

why do you have to set the outcome of 8ball

[inner jewel]

you want an argument that starts with &&outcome

that finds the argument

although separating question and outcome might get a bit hard

[ruby talon]

@queen sentinel, my discord bot (@ruby siren) got muted because it would respond to other bots.
This problem should be fixed.

[queen sentinel]

Done 👍

[wide ruin]

So @inner jewel

I used your method

But outcome is "&&outcome=no"

How do I fix that part?

This is the last bit

Please help

[inner jewel]

.substring

[wide ruin]

I haven't used that before

Ease explain

[inner jewel]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String

you should learn to read the docs

[wide ruin]

Please*

Ok

[lusty dew]

I need help with something.. I am trying to make it so you can do !verify male or !verify female and it creates a channel were only the person that used the command and the owner and staff of the server can see the channel. Also I want it to send a message to that channel along with giving them the role and deleting the channel if the Owner or staff approves this person. Another thing, if 60% members have the Male verified role, it won't let anyone use the !verify male part of the command and only let females verify

I have the create channel down

and the perms

I just need the 60% thing done

Along with the !verify female or !verify male

[loud salmon]

store the amount of males and females somewhere per server

[lusty dew]

It is a custom bot I should Have mentioned that

It is for one server

not multiple

[loud salmon]

oh ok

[lusty dew]

Yea

Sorry should have mentioned that

[loud salmon]

then just store the 2 numbers in the bot config / whatever way you think is best

[lusty dew]

So wait

The numbers?

[loud salmon]

every time someone verifies, check if there is more than 60% majority

[lusty dew]

I am not sure if I am understanding

You said two numbers

[loud salmon]

do you want the person to run the command more than once? or just one time and then lock the command from them

[lusty dew]

After they used it

they can't use it again

unless they leave and rejoin

[loud salmon]

oh ok

[lusty dew]

They are not allowed to verify more then once ;p

[loud salmon]

the first thing you should do is this: when a person does !verify male/female, add 1 to the amount of males/females in a config somewhere

[lusty dew]

Ah ok

So I can do like

Something like that?

[loud salmon]

OH FUCK DELETE THAT

[lusty dew]

Its fine lol

[loud salmon]

and reset your token ASAP

[lusty dew]

I know there is a token

[loud salmon]

wot

[lusty dew]

The bot is not even done yet

I will reset token later

xD

[west raptor]

reset it

now

[loud salmon]

you should probably do it now

[west raptor]

like right now

[lusty dew]

meh

[west raptor]

boi

[loud salmon]

uhhh alright

[lusty dew]

Its fine lmfao

[loud salmon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lusty dew]

Idrc

I understand the dangers

I will reset it in a second

[west raptor]

ok so when someone api abuses and gets you api banned and possibly get you account banned dont come crying to us

oh

ok

good

[lusty dew]

Yea

lmfao

Anyway

{
  "token": "",
  "prefix": "!",
  "Male": {
    
  },
  "Female": {
    
  }
}

Here it is

without the token

Also

The bot app is not on myaccount

xD

It is on the person that wants the bot's account

Bot*

I told them to reset the token though

Anyway is that how you do it?

[loud salmon]

in the male / female area's store the user id

[bright spear]

fyi all deleted messages get logged in #265156361791209475

[loud salmon]

and if the user leaves, then remove the id

[lusty dew]

Well fuck

[loud salmon]

yea

you should be more careful about that token

[lusty dew]

Yea I guess

I told my vlient to reset it

Client*

I hope I set up the Male and Female thing right in my config o.o

Well whoever made the bot leave the only guild it was in

That is cool

Glad they didn't uck the server up though

[loud salmon]

thats what happens when a token is leaked

[lusty dew]

"Male": {
    
  },
  "Female": {
    
  }
}

Here is the part of the json

that has the male and female thing set up

So the ID's go into those brackets and hopefully get recorded in there

[inner jewel]

you'll want an array for that

[lusty dew]

Oh?

[inner jewel]

unless you need to map other data to the ids

[lusty dew]

Ah

[inner jewel]

if you want to just know what id is where

an array is better

[lusty dew]

Ok

Ok so I just replace the brackets with [] right?

[inner jewel]

yes

[lusty dew]

Ok

Thank you

const Discord = require("discord.js");

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
guild.createChannel('new-general', 'text')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);
}

module.exports.help = {
  name: "verify"
}

Also this is what I have for creating the channel

I am not sure if this is write or not

I made this example

before I got to far into it and it was wrong

[vernal basin]

so i have a random number generator that posts 3 embeds after the number is generated

all of them are literally identical besides the message

except

the 2nd of the 3 sometimes won't print out

so i have one Green, one Blue, one Red. The Green posts, then Blue, then Red. (Red sometimes lags a little but that's okay). Sometimes, it will just print Green - Red

ommitting the Blue

anyone know why?

[west raptor]

whats your code?

for

it

[knotty steeple]

could you instead use hastebin?

[vernal basin]

oh ok

[lusty dew]

Hi Samurai

:3

[knotty steeple]

hi

[lusty dew]

Hmm

I have a question Samurai

[vernal basin]

https://pastebin.com/2cm5VNxz

[lusty dew]

const Discord = require("discord.js");

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
channel.delete()
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);
}

module.exports.help = {
name: "close"
}

Would that work as

deleting the channel

the command is used in?

[knotty steeple]

well

channel isnt defined

so what you think

[lusty dew]

So no

I forgot to define channel

~<

I also don't remember how to define channel for something like that

My friend told me but my memory is shit

[knotty steeple]

what channel are you deleting

[lusty dew]

I am deleting the channel the command is used in..

Also

I just done this

Someone helped me with part of it

const Discord = require("discord.js");

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
if(your command arguments here){
<Message>.channel.delete()
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);
}
}

module.exports.help = {
name: "close"
}

That is why it says

your command arguments here

[knotty steeple]

are you using args

[lusty dew]

Not that I know of

it was a habbit

[bright spear]

if you can't understand that code and fix it, you should learn js and your lib before making a public bot

[lusty dew]

habit*

🤔

Okie

Dont be rude though

[knotty steeple]

<Message> would be your message object

[lusty dew]

Seeking help is one way of learning as you can learn from what the other person says

So sorry for learning in my own way :3

Ima take a break

[vernal basin]

so i generate a random number, and after that it prints 3 embeds. however, the 2nd one (Blue) sometimes doesn't print. Also the program sometimes lags, if that could cause it?
anyone know why?
https://pastebin.com/2cm5VNxz

[earnest phoenix]

could someone help me figure out how to get the authorization token to "https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/2yPnp0T86RmpNIQ07AkBQC"

I have the user ID and the client secret I need to post something to an endpoint called "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token" but Im not sure how to do it

[karmic blaze]

Hey- why is this always returning -1?

I'm trying to get the join position of a user.

[quartz kindle]

-1 means it was not found

also, instead of indexof(find), just use .findIndex()

@vernal basin blue doesnt print anything if the random number is above 0.8

you dont have anything for that

[vernal basin]

oh lol my bad

xd, thakns

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix to POST something, means to send an HTTP request using the POST method

you can use libraries such as snekfetch, request, node-fetch, or use node's internal http functions

[karmic blaze]

Think you tagged the wrong person there @quartz kindle :3 but okay, uh, how would i use .findIndex()?

[quartz kindle]

oh oops

sorry, im blind lmao

[earnest phoenix]

I know

[quartz kindle]

check https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/findIndex

[earnest phoenix]

const snekfetch = require('snekfetch')
const config = require('./config.json')

//Fetching the playlist from the spotify api

const credentials = {
  client: {
    id: config.client_id,
    secret: config.client_secret
  },
  auth: {
    tokenHost: 'https://accounts.spotify.com',
    tokenPath: '/api/token',
    authorizePath: '/authorize'
  }
};

snekfetch.post(credentials.auth.tokenHost)
``` currently trying it (this is unfinished code)

[karmic blaze]

@earnest phoenix How are you POSTing it?

Ohhh

You can use .set('Authorization', ' ... ')

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

thats why I said unfinished code

[bright spear]

thats not how you do it

[heady zinc]

i'd like to remind that snekfetch is deprecated and shouldn't be used

[bright spear]

@heady zinc works fine

but u can use a fork like jaczfetch

[heady zinc]

i mean it works fine for now

[karmic blaze]

It works fine as .-.

[quartz kindle]

i use request instead

[bright spear]

@earnest phoenix you dont need any credentials object

[topaz fjord]

@heady zinc ur deprecated

[earnest phoenix]

why dont I?

[topaz fjord]

use node fetch

[earnest phoenix]

I need the bearer token

[quartz kindle]

according to the spotify api

it should be something like

headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken
},```

idk if im looking at the right place tho

[earnest phoenix]

you are

but I need to get the "accessToken" before I can use it

I only have the clientID and the clientSecret

[uncut slate]

you'll need to set up an oauth callback for that

afaik

your access token will be expiring hourly as well, you'll want to store a refresh token alongside it

[earnest phoenix]

wdym

hm

so

const credentials = `${config.client_id}:${config.client_secret}`

snekfetch.post("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token").set('Authorization', credentials).then(r => {```

and I'll need an redirect url

so I need to use express too I guess?

I really dont fucking know how to get this token ugh

[quartz kindle]

the problem is

You do Prompt your user to a webpage where they can choose to grant you access to their data.
You get An access token and a refresh token.

its oauth2

they need to click on your link

to give you the token

[earnest phoenix]

I dont want oauth2 smh I just want to get a playlist with my "app" on spotify

[quartz kindle]

then you're using the wrong authorization

[earnest phoenix]

okie

https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/2yPnp0T86RmpNIQ07AkBQC``` Im trying to get this

what token do I use

[bright spear]

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization-guide/#client-credentials-flow

[quartz kindle]

this is what you need

Client Credentials Flow
The Client Credentials flow is used in server-to-server authentication. Only endpoints that do not access user information can be accessed. The advantage here in comparison with requests to the Web API made without an access token, is that a higher rate limit is applied.

You do Login with your Client ID and Secret Key.
You get Access token.

[earnest phoenix]

;-; thats exactly what I was looking at too

before I looked at the bearer token and my brain went oh I must need this one

[quartz kindle]

if i understand correctly

POST must have {"grant_type":"client_credentials"}

and Header must have "Authorization" : "Basic <base64 encoded client_id:client_secret>"

[earnest phoenix]

I'm not sure where to put this but I have this so far now ```
onst host = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token"

snekfetch.post(host, ).set('Authorization', credentials).then(r => {

}

oof thats const btw

credentials is going to be the base64 string

[quartz kindle]

something like that yes

.post(url).set(authorization).send(granty_type)

[earnest phoenix]

lemme check if it works

is there any lib that is in node that can convert base64

or in discord.js or something

[gilded blaze]

Don't need a lib. It's built into JS

[earnest phoenix]

since npm is down

oof it is?

[quartz kindle]

atob() and btoa() are base64 operations

[gilded blaze]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding

[earnest phoenix]

so I can do something like base64 = require('btoa') or is it just a built in function

fuck im a noob nvm

[gilded blaze]

Built in.

No require.

[quartz kindle]

its built in into js itself, not node

[earnest phoenix]

btoa is not defined```

:3

lemme require it and see if it works

[gilded blaze]

Show code

[earnest phoenix]

const credentials = btoa(`${config.client_id}:${config.client_secret}`)```

[heady zinc]

that isn't nodejs

[quartz kindle]

no, but is js

did they remove it from node for some reason ?

[heady zinc]

it's like fetch

psure it's exclusive to browsers

[earnest phoenix]

my node is fucked?

oh

The 'btoa-atob' module does not export a programmatic interface, it only provides command line utilities.

If you need to convert to Base64 you could do so using Buffer:```

stack overflow saves the day

[heady zinc]

nodejs allows you to base64 encode stuff with Buffer.from('stuff').toString('base64')

[earnest phoenix]

oof wtf (node:8828) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: 415 Unsupported Media Type

media lol wut

[quartz kindle]

hmm

[earnest phoenix]

you think maybe its the quotes that I use?

these lil bastards? \`` `

oof lol

[quartz kindle]

what do you have now?

[earnest phoenix]

these `

[quartz kindle]

i mean, the whole code

[earnest phoenix]

const credentials = Buffer.from(`${config.client_id}:${config.client_secret}`).toString('base64') 
const host = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token"

snekfetch.post(host).set('Authorization', credentials).send({"grant_type":"client_credentials"}).then(r => {

console.log(r)

})```

[quartz kindle]

is the error coming from Buffer, or is it coming from snekfetch?

[earnest phoenix]

lemme sheck

check

[gilded blaze]

let test = "hello";
let other = " world";
Buffer.from(`${test}:${other}`).toString("base64")``` worked for me

[quartz kindle]

according to the spotify docs, the authorization header should be "Authorization" : "Basic <base64 encoded client_id:client_secret>"

[earnest phoenix]

oof its coming from snekfetch

[quartz kindle]

so in your case: "Basic "+credentials

[earnest phoenix]

still says it

const credentials = Buffer.from(`${config.client_id}:${config.client_secret}`).toString('base64') 
const host = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token"

snekfetch.post(host).set('Authorization', `basic ${credentials}`).send({"grant_type":"client_credentials"}).then(r => {

  console.log(r)

})

[quartz kindle]

maybe Basic with capital B?

[earnest phoenix]

nope :((

I guess snekfetch is shit?

tbh Im probably doing something wrong

lul

[heady zinc]

snekfetch may be deprecated, but it is still fully working

[quartz kindle]

try adding

'Content-Type':'application/json'

to the header

[earnest phoenix]

ok

like this?

snekfetch.post(host).set('Authorization', `Basic ${credentials}`).send({"Content-Type":"application/json", "grant_type":"client_credentials"}).then(r => {```

[quartz kindle]

set('Authorization', Basic ${credentials}).set("Content-Type":"application/json").send()

[earnest phoenix]

I tried ://

snekfetch.post(host).set('Authorization', `Basic ${credentials}`).set("Content-Type":"application/json").send({"grant_type":"client_credentials"}).then(r => {
                                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list```

Its pointing at the "Content-Type"

oof should it be a comma

I changed it to a comma

and it worked but gave me an error again with the media type

[quartz kindle]

then try

'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

[earnest phoenix]

comma im guessing instead of :

it worked wow

I got a big buffer and a body cool

[quartz kindle]

halelujah?

lmao

[earnest phoenix]

thank you so much wow

[quartz kindle]

finally, now i can sleep

[earnest phoenix]

oof what time is it for you

[quartz kindle]

only 11pm, but im not a nightcore person

[earnest phoenix]

okie goodnight fam

[west raptor]

Is there a way to get connections on a user's profile? I'm guessing it's for user bots only, I also am to lazy to read the docs

[oblique sequoia]

it's for users only

that requires the profile endpoint which bots cant utilize

[west raptor]

Yea that's what I thought

Thanks for response though

[earnest phoenix]

Im using that as my args handler,

how can I actually get the thing?

[idle mountain]

I'm not really sure what /[ ]+/ means, but I'd guess that args would become an array, in which case you can use args[0] to get the first argument, args[1] to get the second, etc.

[earnest phoenix]

Ah, alright. Thanks.

It works.

[idle mountain]

also keep in mind that there's frequent OutOfRangeException errors with that, so before accessing args[1], make sure that args.length > 0 is true

or args.length > 2 is true before accessing args[3], for example, and etc.

[earnest phoenix]

Why does:

    var sender = message.author;
    message.channel.send("@everyone\n"+`**Important message from ${sender}:**`);
    message.channel.send(`${argsannounce}`);```

return

a , infront of it?

[idle mountain]

Is this JavaScript?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[idle mountain]

It returns a , in front of the first message? before the @everyone?

[earnest phoenix]

ill show u

[idle mountain]

alrighty

[earnest phoenix]

https://gyazo.com/48a6492fafd2c0d3420d0a07f89f1287

[idle mountain]

try replacing your first line with var argsannounce = message.content.replace("!announce ", "");

um

the problem there is that if someone uses !announce without anything after it it might break but I'm not 100% sure how JavaScript handles it so idk

the problem there is that you're creating an array from the string !announce Announcement, splitting it by !announce, which creates two items in an array, which is a completely empty string and Announcement- you're asking it to post the full array, so it posts the first item, then Announcement, surrounded by commas to separate it, so it outputs , Announcement

[earnest phoenix]

It handles it fine, thanks for the help and explanation!

[idle mountain]

ah that formatting is all messed up

there I fixed it

np :P

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[idle mountain]

seems the regex string [^0-9a-zA-Z]+ works pretty well, just stole that from google

[earnest phoenix]

use \W

https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_regexp_wordchar.asp

"A word character is a character from a-z, A-Z, 0-9, including the _ (underscore) character."

so let me break this down

if \W is a-z, A-Z and 0-9

then why the fuck are you keeping 0-9a-zA-Z in your regex

and why is \W out the front

https://regex101.com/ to test and explain regex

pretty sure that works for what u wanted

[bright spear]

oof there did they go

[earnest phoenix]

Sorry if this is an easy answer. I'm stumped

How can I go about adding a role to active chatting users, and timeout like 10 minutes after if they stop being active?
like only give it to people who are constantly active for like 5 mins straight

if that makes sense

can somebody help

i am making a new bot

but this time in javascript

yep

can someone help

wdym by "help"

i dont get how i make a !help command

what

oof what lang did you make your bot in before?

Discord Bot Maker Program

oh

lmaooo

Do you know javascript?

a bit

Or python?

you need a command handler

Kush shh

😦

lul

I have a command, event, config and permission handler oof

if (message.author.bot) return;
let prefix = "!";
if (message.content.indexOf(prefix) !== 0) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

if (command === "help"){
...do something
}

and you can follow the if statement on the bottom for other commands

ill break it down

sec

if (message.author.bot) return;

This is just so the bot doesn't respond to itself

let prefix = "!";

Your prefix

if (message.content.indexOf(prefix) !== 0) return;

No prefix? Don't respond.

const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);

Splits the string up into arguments. So you can access it later by args[0,1,2,etc..]

const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

Converts the command or args[0] to lower case

if (command === "help"){
...do something
}

Your if statement for commands.

there

enjoy

oof

amazing command handler 10/10

Yeah actually thats a good start

once you get more advanced you'll get into things like modular command handlers

yeh i only gave him that because he's practically new

its easier to have stuff in 1 document

than thrown all over the place

use an object with each command and check the key

no if statements and reloafable commands

does somebody have a !help embed command in js that i can customize

u can learn js. and make one urself

no

un bad in js

We won't spoon feed you. You need to learn

and im bad at some things

Check out embed documents

the solution is learn

Look up

"discord.js embed"

not ask for spoonfeed

Now. I have a question for you guys

ok

I wanna make a role where whenever the user is talking constantly for a certain amount of time (like 5 mins) they'll get a role.

It'll stay on them unless they stop talking. Which after 10 mins of not talking it'll be removed

Basically an activity role

Discord.js

i can make that with DISCORD BOT MAKER

that would be cool

lmfao

discord bot maker

I dont want discord bot maker lol

probably a bad idea since u will hit ratelimits for role, but you could store like the number of messages a person sends, then every 10 mins give people with a certain number of messages a role, and reset the coubt

Nah rate limits are fine

That'll only be a rate limit unless it's constantly changing

it would be 😂

is it a global bot?

No

oh then you should be fine

i have another bot thats on 24k servers

but im not going to add him to that

add that to him *

the bot token would be banned really quick

[serene cobalt]

@earnest phoenix you're bad at js lmao

[earnest phoenix]

not anymore

wanna join my test server

i made a bot in visual studio code

@serene cobalt

[serene cobalt]

oof

@earnest phoenix Stop advertising your discord

[earnest phoenix]

sorry

it is just a test server

with 3 bots

[serene cobalt]

still adverting a server

[earnest phoenix]

not

how do i let the bot send 2 lines in an embed]

if i use enter it will give an error

[serene cobalt]

\n

[earnest phoenix]

?

[serene cobalt]

What happened to you being good at js?

[earnest phoenix]

no

look

[serene cobalt]

\n is newline

[earnest phoenix]

{
          name: "Moderation",
          value: "``!kick`` - kicks an player from the server."
        }
      ],
      timestamp: new Date(),
      footer: {
        icon_url: client.user.avatarURL,
        text: "Absolutech"
      }
    }

ow thx

[serene cobalt]

pff

[earnest phoenix]

what

if xp < 100:
            level = 1
        elif xp < 250:
            level = 2
        elif xp < 475:
            level = 3```
am i doing this right ![thinkEyes](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/406800811700781076.webp?size=128 "thinkEyes")

[radiant night]

No

[earnest phoenix]

rip

then how can i do it

[steel drum]

@earnest phoenix

imo you should

base how levels off

a exponential systems

so like for my bot

first 10 levels is the level * 100

thats how much exp you need to level up to the next level

then after level 10

you multiply the previous level's exp by 1.1

ill show the function

[earnest phoenix]

oh

so what is level defined as?

[steel drum]

what do you mean

[earnest phoenix]

first 10 levels is the level * 100

what is level?

[steel drum]

users start off as level 0

[earnest phoenix]

right

[steel drum]

so you need 100 xp to level up to level 1

then you need 200 to level up to level 2

etc

until level 10

[earnest phoenix]

right

[steel drum]

so at level ten

itll be however much exp you need for the previous level

• 1.1

so at level nine you need 1000

so at level 10

itll be 1000 * 1.1

which is 1100

[earnest phoenix]

yep

[steel drum]

then at level 11, its 1100*1.1

which is w/e it is

[earnest phoenix]

right

its just the same

using more maths

[steel drum]

yea

[earnest phoenix]

but

[steel drum]

its a bad idea to hard-code stuff like exp

[earnest phoenix]

#265156361791209475

Your level is 7 with 1851 xp

elif xp < 2200: level = 7

[steel drum]

dont hard code exp dude

[earnest phoenix]

shouldn't the xp more then 2200 for level 7

why not

[steel drum]

thats just not good practice

[earnest phoenix]

mhm

but using that algo or formula

its just the same method 🤔

[steel drum]

the alg doesnt really matter that much as long as you scale how much exp users earn accordingly

[earnest phoenix]

yep

[earnest phoenix]

alright so I need to refresh a token for my application once every 10 days
i was considering a scheduledexecutor but im not sure if thats the best solution?
I wont get any sort of notification when it runs out or whatsoever by the server

technically i can change the 10 days to anything between 1ms and 10 days if that makes a difference

something java based if anything has any suggestions

[neon swift]

Keep track of when you last refreshed token and make sure token is valid each time you need to use it

[earnest phoenix]

problem is i dont need to use it i get notified with events for the duration i pass it on creation @neon swift

so theres no indicator for checking

[neon swift]

So you need to auth against their webhook instead of them authing against your server??

[carmine veldt]

Hey i need help setting up commands and things for a bot on a server im running

[neon swift]

wdym "setting up commands"??

Are you using a pre-made bot?

[carmine veldt]

no 😩

[quartz kindle]

do you want to create your own bot?

[carmine veldt]

ive got the bot made just need things for it to do and how to make it come online

[quartz kindle]

what do you mean with "got the bot made"?

you mean going to the discord dev website and creating a bot account?

or actually coding something?

[carmine veldt]

can you tell i'm new at this? haha

[quartz kindle]

yes

im gonna tell how you bots work

you create a bot account, which will give you an id to login with.
you create/code a program that will use the id to connect to discord.
your program receives messages from discord, does actions with it, and returns messages to discord

the bot will be online while this program is running in your computer

[carmine veldt]

right

[quartz kindle]

do you have experience with any programming language?

[carmine veldt]

😖 not really

[quartz kindle]

then your first step is to learn a programming language

[carmine veldt]

we just needed a bot and we didnt wanna use a premade one

[quartz kindle]

good languages for beginners are Python and Javascript

[carmine veldt]

ah ok

[quartz kindle]

study a language for a bit first, until you understand it more or less, then come back to attempt a bot

[carmine veldt]

ok

[quartz kindle]

otherwise you'll be running in circles having no idea what you're doing

[carmine veldt]

yeah than

thanks

[quartz kindle]

good luck!

[west raptor]

I started with little js experience

[neon swift]

Javascript is probably the best to learn for discord bot making. It has the most people willing to help you

[west raptor]

Py is also good

[neon swift]

Yeah, but it has like half the share of bots made

[carmine veldt]

yeah probs sound like a tool but is there money involved?

[neon swift]

There are free IDEs

[west raptor]

No, unless you you want a VPS

[neon swift]

Oh yeah, you need to host the bot so you would need to pay 4$ a month for a cloud server

[west raptor]

Or self host

[neon swift]

or host on your own PC if you have internet and stable electricity

[carmine veldt]

ah ok
