[slender thistle]

Blame Discord for this

Also probably because you need to await it, no?

[earnest phoenix]

I don’t know why you would need to

If I did it would complain it needs to be async

And idk how to put that into an eval operation

[topaz fjord]

just put it in a function thats async and call that function

so like

await shit
}

ejhsgbhuj()

[quartz kindle]

i mean... does bulkDelete even return anything?

or does it need a callback/promise?

[topaz fjord]

a promise

it returns a collection the messages deleted

[slender thistle]

Welp, here are the js fellas

[quartz kindle]

then even if you async/await it, it will still show as [object map]

[topaz fjord]

yes

[quartz kindle]

he needs to actually return something usable

[earnest phoenix]

I don’t understand object maps

[sonic glade]

Can anyone help me ?

This is the code

[quartz kindle]

@sonic glade you need to specify which channel

the channel is not being found

guildMemberAdd does not give you a "message" to work with

[topaz fjord]

message isnt valid in guildMemberAdd

[earnest phoenix]

also sending the message every time a user joins the server

[sonic glade]

Yes, but I need you to send the message with the image in the channel that the user is watching

[bright spear]

thats not possible

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix objects and maps are mostly the same thing, just with different capabilities. but you need to give discord a string

[bright spear]

you cant know what channel they're looking at

[topaz fjord]

you can filter throughout the channels to find one you can speak in and send one

[bright spear]

^ but pls dont do that

[topaz fjord]

^

[sonic glade]

or in some channel, but that is when someone enters the discord server

[earnest phoenix]

yes

for all discord servers

[bright spear]

make welcome messages off by default and let server admins set a welcome channel if they want @sonic glade

[earnest phoenix]

^

[quartz kindle]

you need to specify a channel, so let the guild owner chose which channel they want to receive those types of messages

[sonic glade]

ok

thanks

[earnest phoenix]

Why when I do result.size/length does it always say undefined even when I define it?

[bright spear]

what if you console.log(result)

[earnest phoenix]

I use pm2

Nothing logs

Not even startup messages

just use length

do not try size

It says undefined

On both

unrelated question

?

why do you have an unused variable called length

I was trying to define it

But it didn’t work

define what

length

i mean

all you would need to do is result.length

yes

result is none existant

what is you code for args

How do I fix it

didn't answer my question

let args = msg.content.split(' ').slice(2)

@earnest phoenix

hmm

It’s 2 because of the space in the prefix

So Alexa eval

slicing arrays uwu

well

try removing the await from the eval

no

its not that

yes

just check if its undefined

if it is, send undefined instead of checking length

await eval is not the problem

oh wait

Having fun showing the same thing?

thank you tom

👍

now i feel stupid

you don’t need eval

It’s an eval command

eval command

this guy read a comment on stackoverflow saying "never use eval" from some grumpy old cunt

and took it too literally

eval commands makes you look even cooler when you release your bot token

.replacing bot token

replacing multiple substrings too ^

[shadow barn]

.setTitle

[topaz fjord]

if (output instanceof Promise || (Boolean(output) && typeof output.then === 'function' && typeof output.catch === 'function')) output = await output; amazing

[earnest phoenix]

What

wait

How can I check if something is a number?

typeof

[topaz fjord]

you can use typeof

[earnest phoenix]

type of what

js typeof

🎉

I crashed my browser looking for it

[topaz fjord]

did not know it shows u a preview of the response https://media.turtle-bot.com/f/0WrLf.png

[earnest phoenix]

if(args typeof 'number')

?

[topaz fjord]

typeof args returns a value

https://media.turtle-bot.com/f/wTnY9.png

[earnest phoenix]

typeof args === 'number'

[topaz fjord]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

How do I put that in a command just put it under

The args

Bit

[topaz fjord]

wut

[earnest phoenix]

Idk

Where is defined args

Idk

[topaz fjord]

why are you asking me, its you code you should know where args is defined

[earnest phoenix]

Ik

But do I just put that under

Or would it not work

[topaz fjord]

under what

you need to be more specific

[earnest phoenix]

Can I do

let args = thing here
typeof args === 'number'```
Or 
```js
let args = thing here
if(args === typeof 'number' return *must be num message*```

I don’t understand how it works

[topaz fjord]

if(typeof args === 'number') return *must be num message*

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/typeof

[earnest phoenix]

I was on that

[quartz kindle]

typeof (typeof 1) lmao

[topaz fjord]

mdn is pretty informative

they even give examples

@quartz kindle it makes sense

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

if(typeof args === 'number') return msg.channel.send("Hm... the 2nd value you gave is invalid... Problem:\nmust be a number")

[quartz kindle]

yeah but why would anyone ever need that

[topaz fjord]

example purposes

[earnest phoenix]

It doesn’t work

Oof

because you "args" is an array

pls ignore my message above as of natan is smarter than me

[inner jewel]

what

i suggest you learn js

[earnest phoenix]

yes i do

but

[inner jewel]

i'm pretty sure your args is a string array

coming from splitting the content

which means typeof args[N] for any N will be either string or undefined

[lost scarab]

anyone knows how to make coin and shop system?

[earnest phoenix]

maybe

why you ask

@lost scarab We're not going to tell you how to make a complete system, but we can give your resources to do so.

You'll need a database, for sure

[lost scarab]

i mean i tried to make one with an yt video

but it didnt work

[earnest phoenix]

this is not a development question

its a problem solving question

and u figure it out on ur own

[earnest phoenix]

var ttttturl = "";
fetch(url)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => {
    var z = 0;
        while (json.items[z].id.videoId == null) { z++; }
   ttttturl += trueurl.concat(json.items[z].id.videoId) //"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v="
})

i know this seems like a pretty basic question but why is this not concentrating to the string?

is it because its in a function

or is it because im an idiot

[inner jewel]

promises are async

it is concatenating

but code below that will have already executed when concatenation happens

[earnest phoenix]

oh

no wonder why

do i async it?

or

You put your code inside of the callback

the promise is already asynchronous.

wait

you mean the .then(json => {})?

wait nvm

you did mean that

thanks

[earnest phoenix]

i need opinions on a database for saving things to a queuek thx

Can someone please send a script in here that can turn on a bot please?

<script>
console.log('Bot is On!')
</script>```

[knotty steeple]

turn --on bot

[earnest phoenix]

But wouldn't you need the token?

[mossy vine]

What language are you using?

[earnest phoenix]

Python

--token TOKEN

(Don't mind these, these are memes)

[mossy vine]

Cant help theb

Theb*

Fhen*

T H E N

[earnest phoenix]

Who knows python?

If you simple come here asking for a complete script, don't expect to get anything other than memes

I'm only asking for a bot online script I have the other stuff.

"If you simple come here asking for a complete script, don't expect to get anything other than memes"

You didn't provide any details at all..

Ok

So

I am making a Music Bot and I keep running into errors if I can't get it online in Python language and I keep running into errors on making it go online can someone please help?

You need to provide details.

I'm not a mind reader.

import discord

TOKEN = 'XXXXXXXXXX'

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    # we do not want the bot to reply to itself
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        msg = 'Hello {0.author.mention}'.format(message)
        await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')

client.run(TOKEN)```

You may want to provide the errros youre getting.

Here

Well that explains a lot: import aiohttp

also are you trying to code on your pone @earnest phoenix

Yeah.

It's so hard.

yeah

But I'm not giving up.

bbecause your coding on phone

why don't you code on a laptop

No internet

what

[mossy vine]

I dont know much about Python, but just importing the aiohttp module should work

[earnest phoenix]

I use Data

Mobile data lol

doesn't your data have a mobile hotspot

It so damn laggy

i mean

you could use the mobile hotspot to download a text editor like vsc and code from there

Coding on your phone is one of the biggest developer memes.

yes

I still like to try.

ok

I will not give up.

If you try, you are a meme

...

So your saying people who try making a bot are a meme

.

is it enmap good database for making a queue system

Who try making a bot on their phone

Many people

how many

I watched it on YT.

thats gross

don't even get me started on the people who run their bots on their phone

but still

Now that's even more of a meme

[knotty steeple]

you dont import aiohttp

you install it

[native folio]

.

how do i make a ping command with ms

[topaz fjord]

what lib

[native folio]

python

[topaz fjord]

each lib should have a thing that gets ping

[native folio]

python async 3.6.5

im trying this

@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
        ': Check your connection '
        t1 = ctx.message.created_at
        m = await ctx.send('**Pong!**')
        time = (m.created_at - t1).total_seconds() * 1000
        await m.edit(content='**Pong! Took: {}ms**'.format(int(time)))
        await ctx.message.delete()```

but then im getting this error

Ignoring exception in command ping

[dim owl]

Hello Developers. I got lil question. Is it possible to create Discord BOT, wchich will be able to reading, gathering and processing information of this website https://proclubshead.com/ ?
for ex. This https://proclubshead.com/19/club/pc-13982/ for whole team, and this https://proclubshead.com/19/club/pc-13982/player/6iJBOqa1-MGbOg1mQHua3g!!:51uin9bSSzfoXMzrY9EaQg!!/ as an ex. for each player of a team. cheers

Its all about FIFA19 official Esport Virtual Pro Teams

[quartz kindle]

thats called "scraping" a website

and yes, its possible

[topaz fjord]

I think cheerio is a good one for scraping

[dim owl]

who?

Will be here any nice person who would help us with it and make first beta please?

pm me

[quartz kindle]

if there is money involved, sure

[pale marsh]

Do bots get access to a user's connections?

[sick cloud]

@pale marsh only oauth2 does

[pale marsh]

Gotcha

[sick cloud]

you need the connections scope iirc also

[pale marsh]

Docs confused me a bit

However I remember a bot once that used your steam connection to get stats to a game before

It was the bot on the payday 2 server

[sick cloud]

probably had oauth2 implemented

theres no way you can get connections other than that or unreliable external websites

[pale marsh]

I don't think so honestly. It never asked me for oauth or anything

[sick cloud]

weird

[keen drift]

Ay, anyone here has a bot in golang

[keen drift]

@sick cloud Looks like you'll have to wait a little longer for dashboard

I'm planning to ship it with the rewrite (v2)

[sick cloud]

oof ok, waiting fun. also happy birthday

[keen drift]

thanks

I hope v2 is going to be mostly backward compatible

[earnest phoenix]

Making bots with phones is the best way to idk why you’re questioning making bots on mobile I mean the spelling mistakes your auto correct gives you is always the best when making a command that would break your bot if you messed it up

@earnest phoenix

I only edited that message 5 times

[earnest phoenix]

How can I fix my bot every like 30 minutes on the same VPS my bot errors and says Error: Socket something like disconnected how can I add an auto restart thing because even if I use PM2 it still crashes and I want to be able to certify my bot >:c

[raven torrent]

Try another free VPS to test if it's the VPS or the bot

If it makes that message again it means it's the bot the issue

It not, you have to talk to the VPS customer service

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix are you memeing?

Auto correct vs. an actual JavaScript linter on a desktop

Yeah come back and tell me which one is better

[topaz fjord]

@keen drift yagpdb is in golang

I'm thinking of rewriting as well

I'm in the middle of rewriting but I can't figure out how to make a command handler

[junior bobcat]

nodejs
What must I do to my bot msg.react("1⃣") ?

I dont find how to copy the 1⃣ emoji, or find its id

[late hill]

uhhh

itsss

you need the unicode

1\u20e3

msg.react("1\u20e3")

should do

[spring wharf]

does anyone know how I can create a pingable role in Discord.NET using c#?

btw ping me in the response just in case more people talk here before I come back from school since I am leaving right now

[junior bobcat]

@late hill 👌

[late hill]

yes

{embed: { fields: [
{name: "name1", value: "value1", inline: true},
{name: "name2", value: "value2", inline: true},
{name: "name3", value: "value3", inline: false},
{name: "name4", value: "value4", inline: true}
]}}```

does this

Setting them all to true does this

🤷

I just want this

😩 😩

[wheat marten]

Is it against tos for a bot to send an invite to a server that is not owned by the bot owner?

[spring wharf]

I have a similar question which is in relation to ToS aswell

I am making a bot that will handle announcements by making an announcement role so people can opt in or out of announcements, it also DMs said people who opt in. Of course I wrote for the opt in command that by doing so they agree to DM announcements but I still wonder if it would be against ToS

[amber junco]

I have an issue

My change able prefix isnt working

it says in command prompt that I spelt JSON Worng and I typed JASON

[spring wharf]

Lmfao

[amber junco]

whats funny?

[slender thistle]

Uhm

The error is self-explanatory, though

[jolly rampart]

i hve ask can i?

I want to use Python to make my mp3 player run.

i can make mp3 file but i can't play it

[slender thistle]

youtube-dl, ffmpeg, or lavalink

[jolly rampart]

i know ffmpeg

but why use the youtube-dl?

just use it?

[slender thistle]

Feel free to use either

[jolly rampart]

okok thx

[amber junco]

Shivaco WDYM?

[slender thistle]

Baka

Are you requireing json under JASON variable

[raven torrent]

@jolly rampart maybe add you bot here

to test it

[jolly rampart]

i can test my bot

in my server

thx

[amber junco]

Yes shivaco

[warm marsh]

@late hill you get your embed fixed?

[late hill]

Yeh

[warm marsh]

Ah ok

[late hill]

I put in a thumbnail

Which makes it so only 2 fields fit

per line

[warm marsh]

Ah ok

You could of just done JavaScript embed: {fields: [{ Name:"",value:"",inline;false },{ Name:"",value:"",inline;true }{ Name:"",value:"",inline;false }{ Name:"",value:"",inline;true }]}

[earnest phoenix]

lower case n for name

[lavish sundial]

Do I need normal OAuth2 rather than Bot OAuth to POST text Meassages?
I can't see this in doc ,any link or answer is appreciated,thx.

btw,I 'm sure I granted SEND_MESSAGE Permission already.

[late hill]

That just puts them under eachother..

[earnest phoenix]

if you want them side by side make them all inline..

[late hill]

yeh that's what i did

But with a thumbnail

Because I wanted 2 each line

It goes up to 3

If theres no thumbnail

Facepalming about something thats already taken care of 🤦

[ruby dust]

Use a transparent image

[earnest phoenix]

bo

use a 3rd inline

with 0 width char title and text

[late hill]

How even

[lost scarab]

imagine i want when a person with Member role types !ping it would say something but if person with Owner role typed !ping it would say other thing

like check what role the user has

[slender thistle]

What lib

[lost scarab]

wdym lib?

[earnest phoenix]

Just asking but if anybody knows:
How does Luca's starboard function work? I'm working on a starboard for my bot @halcyon bear and was wandering how to make it edit the starboard message if it has already been star'd. Like this:

[slender thistle]

Library for Discord

Do you d.py or d.js

[earnest phoenix]

d.py

[lost scarab]

oh js

oh

🤔

im so confused

is that for me or for him

[slender thistle]

Both is good anyways

[lost scarab]

js xd

[earnest phoenix]

idk

[slender thistle]

And since I know jack shit about js, can't help ya out, sorry

[lost scarab]

np

[slender thistle]

And for the starboard feature, you might wanna look at https://github.com/Rapptz/RoboDanny/blob/rewrite/cogs/stars.py

[waxen quest]

Could someone redirect me to a guide on how to send my bot's server count to a website?

[slender thistle]

Depending on your lib

[waxen quest]

Discord Js

[slender thistle]

https://discordbots.org/api/docs#jslib

[waxen quest]

Thanks

I'll take a look in a sec

[midnight widget]

@waxen quest #312614469819826177

[lost scarab]

anyone in here knows how to remove points when certain command is typed

using better-sqlite3 btw

[earnest phoenix]

Please give detail.

Specifically a code example of what you tried

[lost scarab]

u know better-sqlite3?

points system

[waxen quest]

I meant to my own website

[hushed berry]

That's a DB lib lmao

[waxen quest]

Nice

[cursive dagger]

https://ghostbin.com/paste/3mt8o Anyone know why this isnt working?

[slender thistle]

Any errors?

[earnest phoenix]

yo, can someone join my server then leave, I'm trying to test join and leave

[slender thistle]

KInda wrong channel but... sure, DM me the link

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[wheat marten]

Should I host my bot with Azure?

[earnest phoenix]

no

[waxen quest]

So I basically copied the code snippet from #312614469819826177 for the server count but I can't seem to figure out what to do with it, would someone mind helping me?

[earnest phoenix]

those are outdated iirc

[wheat marten]

They are?

[earnest phoenix]

refer to the api docs on the site

[topaz fjord]

Azure 👀

[earnest phoenix]

yes the latest msg literally says

[wheat marten]

what's a good service to host a bot with, I am wondering because I am not getting a server until Christmas.

[earnest phoenix]

ovh

[wheat marten]

I am looking for a free service to temporarily use.

[waxen quest]

You could try glitch.com

[earnest phoenix]

free and temporary? host on ur own pc

or heroku or glitch

[wheat marten]

Am I able to make it so my PC runs node . 24/7 even when it is off?

[waxen quest]

No I don't think so

[zenith moss]

N

O

[wheat marten]

Ima leave my pc on at night when it is getting approved

[zenith moss]

Just use glitch with up timer robot

Simple

[wheat marten]

I can't wait to get a server for Christmas

[zenith moss]

I’m using glitch until I need to get a vps

[wheat marten]

I'd rather use a physical server not a virtual one

[zenith moss]

Why?

[wheat marten]

Mainly because I am a business owner

[zenith moss]

Ohhh

Makes since

[wheat marten]

My company is about to be incorporated

[zenith moss]

I’d rather use a vps, all the maintenance is done by the company.

Nice

[wheat marten]

servers remind me of mainframes

[zenith moss]

Yes, just the feeling of owning one would be cool

[wheat marten]

yeah

They're also very large

[zenith moss]

Yeah

I watch Linus Tech Tips it think it would get annoying if they failed

Always need to keep a backup of a backup

[wheat marten]

Back in the 50s those were very common

[gilded elm]

just wondering, what's the real difference between

<@id> and <@!id>

it says on the wiki "user" and "user (nickname)"

but why does it matter

[mossy vine]

Not really, probably depends on your lib

[gilded elm]

there's no "nickname" if it's an id it makes no sense 🤔

idk whatever

i'll parse both

[bright spear]

It renders the nickname either way

[bitter sundial]

it probably got changed but the format stays idk why

[topaz fjord]

oh

@topaz fjord

👀

[bitter sundial]

it used to be like it

[quartz kindle]

if the user has a nickname in the server, its mention shows up as <@!id> (in discord.js)

so you need to take that into consideration if you're matching/working on mentions

[hushed berry]

@gilded elm It's used for more internal things

but yes, you should obviously handle both

[wheat marten]

would ```javascript
.setFooter(author)

[topaz fjord]

what is author

[earnest phoenix]

for 500

what is an .setAuthor()

also you can use set footer

[wheat marten]

What can I do to make my commando bot look more professional in the commands dm

[bright spear]

make your own help command

dont use the default

[frail terrace]

anyone know c#

[agile lodge]

how are people editing their bot page to have different attributes than the default one. Like having your status be a purple online status rather than a green one?

[earnest phoenix]

you mean on discord

or on the dbl bot page

[agile lodge]

dbl page

[earnest phoenix]

have a picture?

[earnest phoenix]

css

[agile lodge]

how are they using it tho?

[earnest phoenix]

i told you

css

in the long desc

[agile lodge]

oh, i see

thanks

[keen drift]

What are some approaches to sharding across machines

[hushed berry]

@keen drift redis redis redis

[keen drift]

@hushed berry elaborate pl s

[hushed berry]

What lang are you coding in?

[keen drift]

Golang

[hushed berry]

I dunno how mature the redis lib is in go

but

[earnest phoenix]

Schildkröten sind Gott

[keen drift]

What purpose does redis serve in a shard system

[hushed berry]

Redis has support for distributed objects

specifcally

locks

[keen drift]

Oh, but I'm mainly looking for like

spawning shards

properly across machines

[hushed berry]

Oh

for that i use k8s

[restive silo]

thats kinda easy tho

[keen drift]

what's k8s

[hushed berry]

kubernetes?

[keen drift]

oh

Will Discord gateway report back proper shard count on second machine?

like totalShardNeed - Machine1Shards

[hushed berry]

no

[keen drift]

or do I need like a master server

[hushed berry]

Personally

I have my system setup to have a predecided shard count

[keen drift]

oh

[kind nexus]

nvm

[hushed berry]

You will have to work that way later, anyways

[keen drift]

hm?

[hushed berry]

since large bots have to have a static shard count

[keen drift]

really

large bots gateway won't report back a shard count?

[hushed berry]

I mean

they do

but its not one you can log in with

[keen drift]

h u h

[restive silo]

what is your shardCount multiple number nik?

im curiosed

[keen drift]

n i k

[hushed berry]

I use 128 rn

[keen drift]

how many guilds

[hushed berry]

180k

[keen drift]

makes sense

[hushed berry]

I'll probably bump it up later

so that I can run for a couple months without changing it

[kind nexus]

Yo guys, how would I delete a certain role?
I tried so many different things around .deleteasync

I code in C#

[kind nexus]

Nevermind

[earnest phoenix]

``if (MessageChannel.substring(0, 1)) == '?' {
var args = MessageChannel.substring(1).split('');
car cmd = args[0];

args = args.splice(1);
switch(cmd) {

    case 'verify':
    bot.SendMessage({
        to: userID
        message: 'Reply with you are now verifyed'
    })
}

}``

It gives me errors what did I do wrong (JS)

[prime cliff]

1. if (MessageChannel.substring(0, 1)) == '?' isnt it suppose to be inside the if ( )
2. You forgot to add a var to cmd
3. message: is apparently invalid
4. can you not see the red underlines you silly goose xD

[earnest phoenix]

oops I said car not var

missing comma after the userID in sendmessage

oh thanks

[earnest phoenix]

can anyone help me with How can I see on what servers my bot was invited and I want also to appear on the website discordbots.org

Hey guys, this is the api I use to make my bot "https://discordapp.com/api/v6/guilds/439880012183896075/messages/search?" which return some chats from person. The problem is, There's an offset in searchbar, which only let me get the first page of the search result. While the rest of result can't be taken. is there any ways to take all the data from the search result?

[lament meteor]

why are u using the v6 gateway

[rain kindle]

is there something else?

[jagged plume]

wdym why are you using v6

v7 exists?

Shoundn't this work?

Ping me if you guys have a solution

[bitter sundial]

do you have an error with that? @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

'authorization': 'BOT_TOKEN',

use dbl token not bot token

[earnest phoenix]

@bitter sundial Ugh I just get a 401 Error.

Its the place I'm posting it I'm pretty sure.

[topaz fjord]

What token are you putting

[earnest phoenix]

My bot token

I just didnt post it here

read my previous message @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

haha yes

@earnest phoenix

As i stated

I didnt paste it here because its a priv token

but you put "BOT_TOKEN" which makes me think you are using your discord bot token

discord bot list has a differnt token

just making sure you are using the right one

I know

👌

I mena like I already said it

But

whats the Api link?

[sweet flax]

Hi, anyone knows how to set up greeting-on-join with JDA?

[gloomy fog]

Api Key Will be Found Website
Go your bot> edit> Get Api Token > Copy
paste in 'authorization': 'BOT_TOKEN',

[frail harness]

@sick cloud Google changed how tokens for Google Translate are formatted, check google-translate-api's PRs, you might find a version that supports the new token formatting

[manic badger]

yes

new eval command working

DM me for source'

btw it is free

[earnest phoenix]

anyone here know how to post documents to hasteb.in?

[gloomy fog]

copy and Paste 🤷

[marble elm]

npm is a good site to use

[earnest phoenix]

can anyone help me with a discord.js problem with a rock papper scissors command. Please @ me so i can get the notification.

[topaz fjord]

We can't know what you need help with if you don't tell us what's wrong

[earnest phoenix]

for some reason the bot isnt sending the embed.

[topaz fjord]

show code

[earnest phoenix]

can i post a paste bin link

https://pastebin.com/eXExVyrG

🔥 👉

many problems in this code...

this one is funny ```js
if (message.toLowerCase() === ('rock' || 'papper' || 'scissors')) {

[quartz kindle]

papper lmao

[earnest phoenix]

its comparing if message.tolowercade is equal to true

im dying

do [x,y,z].includes(message or some shit here)

for proper syntax

[quartz kindle]

i took a look at the code and im having a hard time figuring out which one is the proper one, it seems like you have a lot of test commands within the same command

[earnest phoenix]

also google the diff between var const and let

yea i was trying to figure out where the problem was occuring

also image is empty in embed? so just remove that

ok

u should remake this command

i got headache reading code

lol

[quartz kindle]

also, instead of send({ mrps }) try send({embed: mrps })

[earnest phoenix]

ok

yes rhat will make the embed send

but u should make the rest of the code not a clusterfuck before answer tim

y u do dis

lol ok thanks

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[earnest phoenix]

i mean

u can do anything after the command

it dont jave to be rock paper or scissors

it will still work

so yikers

oh

ok thanks

also no need to check if they pick rock paper or scissors

nd then check each individually

ur checking twice

do what i said before with an array and use .includes

ok thanks 😃

👌

[long geode]

[queen sentinel]

@long geode Don't spam emotes here

[long geode]

k

[sick cloud]

@frail harness i saw that, the recent issue made just said to change it to gtx from t and that worked

[earnest phoenix]

could someone help me understand a little bit better what @earnest phoenix meant by [x,y,z].includes in discord.js

[sick cloud]

@earnest phoenix its javascript

google array.includes javascript

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[sick cloud]

it basically sees if one or more provided values includes a provided one

ie.

['foo', 'bar'].includes('foo') // returns true
['foo', 'bar'].includes('kek') // returns false

[earnest phoenix]

if (input === 'rock' || input == 'scissors' || input == 'paper') {}

if (['rock','paper','scissors'].includes(input)) {}

oooh ok thanks 👍

[hushed berry]

doesnt that create a new array every time though

im not too familiar with JS

[earnest phoenix]

no

thats not how it works nik

no because they will declare it at the top as const

it doesnt change

but otherwise probably yeah

[inner jewel]

[...].includes(...) will create a new array

[sick cloud]

anyone here own an api for bot devs that might have some stuff thats useful for fun-related bots? trying to see what i can add to my bot

[earnest phoenix]

Ive heard of this one called cleverbot.io its for ai messaging.

I dont know completly how it works but still.

[sick cloud]

i don't really like cleverbot, its so weird

[earnest phoenix]

yea i dont know much about it lol

[earnest phoenix]

i use cleverbot and just makes people hate your bot for slow responses/trying to make out

[zenith moss]

How would I setup a server for webhooks?

I’ve never used webhooks

[earnest phoenix]

Me too, I've triyed to put a event when someone vote for the bot but it's don't work

[sick cloud]

what lang

[fossil oxide]

If you're using javascript you can check out our lib for easy use

[earnest phoenix]

ads

i'll get the owner of this server to ban you oliy

[inner jewel]

what's the best way of storing this in sql? https://zero-two.is-a-good-waifu.com/0581c0.png (notice the list)

[last ferry]

I usually store my database stuff in it’s own column

But that’s kinda the lazy way

[quartz kindle]

either store the list as json string or create a table for lists indexed by some sort of id

[keen drift]

I think postgre would work good with that

i'm a nosql guy

[sick cloud]

am i doing something wrong here?

theres no way theres over 25 users with such a random discrim in 180~ users

[zenith moss]

It’s possible I think

[earnest phoenix]

statistically very improbable, i think

[sick cloud]

i tried loads of discrims tbh

[zenith moss]

I’m to dumb I think

[sick cloud]

ok its defs broken

[earnest phoenix]

whats your code

[sick cloud]

        let discrim = 0000;
        let users = [];

        if (!args.length) discrim = msg.author.discriminator;
        else {
            if (isNaN(args[0]) || args[0].length != 4) return msg.channel.send(`That isn't a valid discrim.`);
            discrim = args[0];
        }

        client.users.map(u => users.push(`${u.username}**#${u.discriminator}**`));

        if (users.length > 25) return msg.channel.send(`There's over 25 users with that discrim, and I can't display the full list.`);

        const embed = new client.util.embed()
        .setTitle(`Users with the discrim #${discrim}`)
        .setColor('#36393F')
        .setDescription(users.map(u => u).join('\n'));

        return msg.channel.send({ embed: embed });

[earnest phoenix]

ok so

let me get this straight

youre taking every single user that your bot knows

and adding it to an array

then if that array's length is more than 25 (the bot knows more than 25 people) it says that message

[sick cloud]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

are you seeing the flaw yet

[sick cloud]

arrays dont allow duplicates though right?

thats what i thought

[earnest phoenix]

no

only sets

[sick cloud]

oh

oh

ok

[earnest phoenix]

and even so the .users property of client

won't have duplicates

the problem is that a) i doubt you intended to show the list for that discrim for everybody that the bot knows and b) it doesn't filter the discrim at all

[sick cloud]

its meant to show it for everyone, not per guild or whatever

and okay

[wheat marten]

How would a config.js file work?

Would I put a const call token in it?

And make a const called token in index?

[sick cloud]

no

just use json

[wheat marten]

Why json? Is it because of the format?

[bright spear]

json is for data

js is for code

[wheat marten]

Good point

I forgot that

Gotta remember using JSON in roblox

[earnest phoenix]

Ey I have a question.
I’m pretty new to discord bots but not that new to programming, I’ve seen some bots be able to play games on discord servers and I was wondering if there’s any custom way you can make your game that is not embeds or texts?

Was planning on doing it with js

[rapid citrus]

ah, did you mean like 2d or 3d game?

with graphics inside discord?

[earnest phoenix]

Not really

It’s a game only consisting of drawn blocks

So 2d

But it is drawn with the help of a library (p5)

[rapid citrus]

then its impossible. maybe if you are jimmy neutron you can do it.

it may be possible with gifs, and realtime edits. but its api abuse.

[earnest phoenix]

Oh is it?

[rapid citrus]

oh you can't edit files on discord.

you can only edit text.

so yeah still impossible.

[earnest phoenix]

Well rip

[rapid citrus]

just make a game and publish here.

[earnest phoenix]

Lol

It was the game of life

i need help

Please enter at least 300 characters excluding special characters in your detailed description. Add your commands. Spaces or empty spaces are not counted.

I was thinking you input your animals or humans or whatever

And you just see as the world interacts with each other

I’ve already made it, was interested if I could pop it into discord chat

Guess not

@earnest phoenix what’s the problem?

i want add my bot to discord bots

but its want 300

Please enter at least 300 characters excluding special characters in your detailed description. Add your commands. Spaces or empty spaces are not counted.

And....?

It means write a 300 lettered bot description

[earnest phoenix]

Does anyone know how to get the online members and total member count through the API?

I'm using a PHP curl request

[reef rapids]

is blob down?

[earnest phoenix]

    $authToken = $core->api->bot_token;
    $url="https://discordapp.com/api/v6/guilds/402882533592662017/members";

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
        CURLOPT_URL            => $url,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => array('Authorization: Bot '.$authToken),
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => 1,
        CURLOPT_VERBOSE        => 1,
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0,
    ));
    $response = curl_exec($ch);

Does anyone know how to get more than one result?

[earnest phoenix]

No one knows??

[sick cloud]

@earnest phoenix its right in front of you

[earnest phoenix]

Limit?

[sick cloud]

yes

set as 1000

[earnest phoenix]

But that will still only give me 1000

I need all members in a guild

[sick cloud]

if the server is over 1000 members

just run it a few times i guess

or go ask dapi

[spring ember]

It is not possible

[zenith oriole]

is there an api that converts a b64 image to a url (need it for embed)

[spring ember]

Due to spamming

And big data and stuff

@zenith oriole for url?

You just need to host it somewhere

[zenith oriole]

like a data:image/png;base64

it's generated randomly, so I can't really host it

[bitter sundial]

I dont think discord accepts data urls for embeds

[zenith oriole]

i know

[bitter sundial]

what are you using it for then

[zenith oriole]

minecraft server pings

they use a b64 image for the favicon

[sick cloud]

what api are you even using

pretty sure most apis have a png url with them

[zenith oriole]

ping packets send favicons in b64

[bitter sundial]

so you need to turn a base64 image to a link for an embed
You're gonna have to upload it somewhere

[zenith oriole]

imgur? idk

[bitter sundial]

possibly

[zenith oriole]

bootleg php script to the rescue

[bitter sundial]

you code in php?

[zenith oriole]

nah

it's just the language im used to server side

quick and dirty

but does the job well

[earnest phoenix]

What

Why would it

[rapid citrus]

ok another question, is this safe?

  public static OnReady() {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      setInterval(() => {
        if (this.Initializing === false) {
          resolve();
        }
      }, 1);
    });
  }

I'm curious about the resolve method there. that might be called multiple times because the interval is too low.

[earnest phoenix]

Wtf is this question

Wdym by Safe

Lmao

[rapid citrus]

do you even understand what is setInterval?

and that number 1 there?

do you even code and thinking about thread safe or something like that?

and do you know what promise is?

[raven torrent]

Hey

[rapid citrus]

hey, what's up?

[raven torrent]

My bot died

xD

[rapid citrus]

revive it?

[raven torrent]

Yea, working on it

[rapid citrus]

do you have respawn method?

[raven torrent]

Like the hoster fucked me up

[rapid citrus]

you must make one

[raven torrent]

Nah I don't

Have it

[rapid citrus]

make a respawn method. it will respawn your bot when it died.

[raven torrent]

Yea, why not

[rapid citrus]

what hosting?

don't tell me its glitch.

[raven torrent]

Hell no

It's a VPS

[worldly steeple]

@rapid citrus calling resolve multiple times is fine, it will ignore all subsequent calls.... but that interval is going to run every second forever and ever

[rapid citrus]

hmm. thanks can I stop the interval?

[worldly steeple]

yeah but i think there is a better way of doing this. lemme write it

[rapid citrus]

yeah show it to me.

@raven torrent use heroku.

[raven torrent]

Hell no

[earnest phoenix]

use a lib with autoreconnect

[raven torrent]

I hate free shit

[worldly steeple]

well actually id have to assume a bunch of stuff to write an actual example
but basically, create a promise and save it as a field on the object.
then in your OnReady() function, return that promise
when the thing is ready, fulfill the promise

after the promise is fulfilled, anything that awaits OnReady will immediately resolve

but to answer your question about stopping the interval anyway, you do something like

const timer = setInterval(() => code, 1);

to start it

and then

clearTimeout(timer);

to stop it

[earnest phoenix]

So there's literally NO way to figure out a guilds membercount

lol

What

[rapid citrus]

what lib are you using?

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

Restcord

[worldly steeple]

clearInterval actually, not clearTimeout

[earnest phoenix]

https://www.restcord.com/

I can also just use CURL requests

[rapid citrus]

@worldly steeple I'm reading the docs right now.

php
2018

[earnest phoenix]

🙄

It's not the only language i write

And PHP is one of the best langs out there

[rapid citrus]

then use other lang.

[earnest phoenix]

No lol

It's for a website, not for a bot

[rapid citrus]

.man you can make websites with different langs. nodejs is the best option.

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah ok i didnt ask for your looks on things

I asked how to get the membercount of a guild using discord's api

if you cant answer me that then why are you speaking to me

[rapid citrus]

yeah use discordjs thats nodejs its a comlpete package you can fetch everything

[earnest phoenix]

I work professionally as a backend web application developer and infrastructure designer at europe's leading erotic toy distribution company

Do you really think i dont know what i'm doing

I didn't ask for your personal preferences

[rapid citrus]

I didn't ask where do you work.

[waxen quest]

[fossil oxide]

Can you guys be nice lol

It's not hard

[rapid citrus]

what do you mean not hard?

[sinful lotus]

If they use php, let them use it. Its him who is coding not you

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rapid citrus]

@sinful lotus that's for his own good. who uses php btw?

[sinful lotus]

you cant force your own programming ideals onto others

thats your ideal, not his

[topaz fjord]

free hosting

ew

[earnest phoenix]

@rapid citrus sorry my phone battery ran out

ya i do know what they are

[rapid citrus]

then why did you asked?

[earnest phoenix]

just seemed like a weird question to me

it can handle multiple calls

[rapid citrus]

yeah that's what I'm asking for. I'm not too expert with promises so I asked.

[earnest phoenix]

ya :DDD

@fossil oxide Can you tell me how you are fetching online membercounts?

Or membercounts in general

[fossil oxide]

For Discord servers?

[topaz fjord]

online or all

And it depends on your lib

[earnest phoenix]

@fossil oxide Yeah

I'm trying to get it done without widgets through a bot token

[topaz fjord]

what lib are u using

[earnest phoenix]

Restcord

[inner jewel]

to get member count you need a gateway connection

they're sent with GUILD_CREATE payloads

you could iterate the fetch members endpoint

but that's incredibly slow for large guilds

[earnest phoenix]

Hmm

@fossil oxide Can you let me know how you did it?

ew php

    $total_members = [];

    $at_time = 1000;
    $max = 30;
    $last_id = isset($last_id) ? $last_id : 0;

    for($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) {

        $new_loop = $core->rc->bot->guild->listGuildMembers(['guild.id' => 402882533592662017, 'limit' => $at_time, 'after' => $last_id]);

        foreach($new_loop as $loop) {

            array_push($total_members, $loop->user->id);

        }

        $last_id = $total_members[count($total_members) - 1];

        if (count($new_loop) < $at_time) {

            $i = $max;

        }

    }

    dump(count($total_members));

Incase anyone needs it

[bitter sundial]

@earnest phoenix We're just getting them from the gateway like Natan described

[earnest phoenix]

@bitter sundial I see, thank you @inner jewel

[earnest phoenix]

What are some of the most important commands for a bot owner must have? Apart from eval and reload.

I don't understand what is the password for webhooks.

Can someone help me plz?

i'm using Javascript with library discord.js

Are you trying to connect DBL Vote or something?

@earnest phoenix

yep

I want to use it, but I don't know what is the webhooks password

So it don't work

I believe the webhook password is what you entered in the Authorization option of the DBL Bot Editing Page

uuhh?

Wait

You mean the webhookAuth and not the password?

here

Yeah, its what you put in the Authorization box on the bot edit page

Me?

Yeah

I never put something

Just put something random but secure

It doesnt have to be somthing specific, just spam your keyboard or something

Make it secure

Ok

And for the URL?

What is it?

What are you hosting your bot on?

on my computer for reworking

I'm not sure how to actually do this on a computer, I use Glitch.com for the Vote Announcements and use Skysilk VPS Services for my actual bot

So, im stuck here also 😂

bruh

But the first part I said is correct.

Just not sure bout the URL part

Yep the first part is correct, it's me i'm just dumb

If I put my ip address it's will work no?

I also believe you would need to Port Forward your IP and I think its what is meant to be put in the box

oof I can't port forward my ip

Your IP in the box with "https://your.ip.here/dblwebhook", but you need to port forward

mhh

I dont know how to port forward tbf, so I use glitch to get the vote updates and use skysilk to run my actual bot xD

I will test it

I think your know heroku

If I host my bot on heroku, it's will work?

I dont know, I never used Heroku, sorry.

bruh

I don't like it 😂

Just use Skysilk, they give you $10 free to use on their services.

oh

I think they already have IP's that are Forwarded, not too sure though

I never heard about this host

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix have you completed the survey?

Plz help

I want to die

[warm marsh]

Ez

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix are you here?

[ruby dust]

with python, is there a way I can force 2 numbers to be visible, even if it's just 00

[late hill]

Make it a string?

Add a 0 infront if the value is under 10

?

[ruby dust]

that sounds like a workaround, but I'm wondering if python even has a built-in way, like when you can do with decimal numbers you can just format the int with .2f, but this time with whole numbers

[late hill]

Doubt that exists

But I guess u could google it :):)

[ruby dust]

been googling that for 3 days is the reason why I'm asking

[late hill]

oh

oof

[earnest phoenix]

why wont this work

const discord = require('discord.js')
const {prefix, PREFIX, footer, owner, ownerID} = require('../../settings/config.json')

exports.run = async (message, args) => {
  const client = new discord.Client({disableEveryone: false});
  if (message.author.id !== ownerID) {
    message.channel.send("You are not authorized to use this command.");   
    message.delete();
  } return;
  message.delete();

  let announce = new discord.RichEmbed()
      .setAuthor("Announcement From ")
      .setTitle("Callumok2004")
      .setDescription(args.join(" "))
      .setFooter(footer)
  client.channels.get("501467078172082176").send("@everyone", { embed: announce })

  message.delete();
client.login(process.env.TOKEN)


}

Language = JavaScript

........ Not helpful ........

[smoky spire]

Because right after you check for owner id, you return out of the command. You probably wanted the return to be inside the if statement

[late hill]

Or

else return;

probably

wait no

NVM

[earnest phoenix]

So I tried to make a bot but when I used the terminal and typed node . it didnt work

[lament meteor]

@earnest phoenix cause u have a client and u made a new client in a client and a client. i presume u understand what i mean

@earnest phoenix show code or u dont have any code

[earnest phoenix]

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();

bot.login('token');

[lament meteor]

we can see it in #265156361791209475

reset the token

[earnest phoenix]

i did

[lament meteor]

try to do it do the path

cd path -> node file.js

[earnest phoenix]

the path?

[lament meteor]

well

iirc u can drag and drop the folder

u know how to use node or u are new?

[earnest phoenix]

where would i drop the folder exactly?

[lament meteor]

so open a new terminal

ugh

[earnest phoenix]

oh ok

thx for the help

[lament meteor]

u on mac or windows or linux

[earnest phoenix]

windows 10
