[vernal rivet]

Discord had an connection issue

[midnight widget]

Again

[graceful warren]

well I will let him make his things

[vernal rivet]

What did I miss?

[graceful warren]

I don't knwo bro

[midnight widget]

Discord's demise yet again

[vernal rivet]

What library are you using?

[midnight widget]

he's using discord.io

[graceful warren]

yes

I followed a tutorial

[vernal rivet]

OwO use discord.js

[graceful warren]

https://medium.com/davao-js/tutorial-creating-a-simple-discord-bot-9465a2764dc0

I used this

[vernal rivet]

Follow source code

[graceful warren]

you mean when I put the command to make with .js and not with .io?

[vernal rivet]

Look up source code on YouTube and follow his tutorial

[midnight widget]

no, that's just the name of the library

[graceful warren]

what is a source codeee?

[vernal rivet]

Youtuber

[graceful warren]

oh ok

and he made a tutorial for a discord bot?

cuz I need one for my discord server

[vernal rivet]

Yes

[graceful warren]

and it's working?

[vernal rivet]

Yes, I followed his tutorial, he tells what does what, and how to do this

[graceful warren]

umm 29 episodes?

brb

[vernal rivet]

Go from the beginning

@me if you have a problem with something @graceful warren

[graceful warren]

sure, thank you 😃

[vernal rivet]

Np

[earnest phoenix]

@rustic obsidian mmh.. okay

[graceful warren]

@vernal rivet

problem or not problem?

cuz I see ERR!

[midnight widget]

no it's fine, go ahead and run it

[graceful warren]

ok ty

[vernal rivet]

No prolem

[graceful warren]

nah im done

i let this off

I don't get the same folders like him

I don't get any folder

[vernal rivet]

Really?

Discord.js?

npm install discord.js

It should have made a new folder called node-modules, and discord.js should be in there

Oh @graceful warren look up bufferutil and do a npm install, then install discord.js

[graceful warren]

I'll do it tomorrow but ty

[earnest phoenix]

Discord shutdown all bots. Luca will go off soon

[loud salmon]

@earnest phoenix its connection issues

[earnest phoenix]

oof

[loud salmon]

not discord doing it on purpose

[graceful warren]

guys

hello

[loud salmon]

hi

[graceful warren]

guys, I restarted the npm tutorial thing and now it's loading, I'll let this for 1 hour loading and maybe something will pass I don't know

[vernal rivet]

By loading what do you mean @graceful warren

[inner jewel]

discord is having issues right now

[vernal rivet]

Do we know how bad it is?

[native folio]

I cant seem to remember what is the last blank can get some help

[keen drift]

required?

[gloomy fog]

bot updating stats with same token
but i can't get votes

[late hill]

Maybe you need to update

[inner jewel]

wrong token

[gloomy fog]

I Changed Token Tried Again Still Having same error

[inner jewel]

are you using the DBL token or the bot token

[quartz kindle]

i believe he said updating stats works but votes doesnt, same token

[vernal rivet]

?

[high anchor]

hi, silly question

Optional packages
    bufferutil to greatly speed up the WebSocket when not using uws (npm install bufferutil)
    erlpack for significantly faster WebSocket data (de)serialisation (npm install hammerandchisel/erlpack)
    uws for a much faster WebSocket connection (npm install uws)

how do i configure erlpack with discordjs

or is it automatic when it detects it in my dependencies

is it in peerDependencies?

[bright spear]

just install it normally

but it'll still WARN in npm

cuz it installs from github

[visual zenith]

code: https://pastebin.com/yiDuJGTq
error: the prefix doesnt work ;/
like I tried to use the same prefix but it doesnt seem to work - discord.js

[high anchor]

sweet, thanks!

hopefully ill see a perf boost

[valid vessel]

@gleaming glen botumdaki hatayı duzeltdim Fenon'S botunu eklermisin

[rustic obsidian]

Uh can someone help with something

Like, i want the bot to react to it's own helplist, and if you click on one of the emoji's, it goes to the other helppage.

Like this: < >

[knotty steeple]

you can make a reaction collector

and then check if someone reacts with any of those

if they do you can edit the message

[amber junco]

I got this error when Installing Discord.js

How do I resolve it

[keen drift]

"error"

says warn

no i ce

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix haha same

Its their shit and you can do like nothing

Only call the api endpoint for correct vote count

[amber junco]

I mean Discord.js did not install

[rustic obsidian]

@knotty steeple Thanks!

[foggy sand]

@amber junco try 1.) latest npm (npm install -g npm) - 2.) add exception to your antivir, to ignore node_modules folder in your project - 3.) rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json - 4.) npm install ... that should work

[amber junco]

ok

Nope

Did not work

[foggy sand]

you're using vscode? and is it running right now? if so close it and try to temrinate a instances of node and try to install then

[sick cloud]

@rustic obsidian discord.js?

if you use it then you can follow my guide for reaction help

[rustic obsidian]

I'd love to

Because i'm kinda stuck right now, i know how to let my bot react to messages, but not to embeds.

And yeah discord.js

[sick cloud]

first pinned message

[rustic obsidian]

Thanks

[sick cloud]

follow it and mention or dm me if you need help

[earnest phoenix]

Hi

I want make a welcome message with canvas but is not work

[night imp]

Post code and error

[earnest phoenix]

I supp my code

I delete

[night imp]

[earnest phoenix]

😢

[night imp]

Undo?

[earnest phoenix]

You can just send code ?

[night imp]

I can't just send you the exact code b

You have to work on it yourself

This channel is for help, not freelancing

[earnest phoenix]

Plzzzz i delete my code ...

Or you have a tutorial for canvas welcome message ?

@night imp

[night imp]

I don't have one, there are others online

[earnest phoenix]

Of ?

[night imp]

https://Google.com

[heady anvil]

https://duckduckgo.com/

better than google

[earnest phoenix]

@night imp my code :

            
                const canvas = Canvas.createCanvas(700, 250);
                const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
            
                const background = await Canvas.loadImage('./wallpaper.png');
                ctx.drawImage(background, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

So ? @night imp

[night imp]

your missing a function

called applyText

if your going to use a tutorial don't just skip to the end

[earnest phoenix]

Mmmmhh ok i go test

[jagged birch]

Is jimp or canvas better for image manipulation?

[languid dragon]

anybody know a good documentation generator thingo

[shell blade]

Docsify is pretty nice.

[austere fossil]

is it possible to push something to an array in a json file using node?

this is what i have right now but im not sure if it even works tbh

settingsFor[message.guild.id].prefixes.push(args[0].toLowerCase())```

[languid dragon]

are you using json as a database?

[austere fossil]

yeah

[mossy vine]

@austere fossil load the array from the json you want to write to it, make changes, then write back to file

[austere fossil]

so i need to load the values of the array

then add to them

then write it again

[mossy vine]

exactly

[austere fossil]

why didnt i think of that

it seems so simple

thanks

[empty owl]

what is the difference between let and var

[mossy vine]

let is only available in the scope while var is available in the entire file

[empty owl]

ok

what about const

[mossy vine]

const is un unchangable variable

it acts as var, but you cant change it

[empty owl]

ok

to change a var dont u do var again?

[mossy vine]

nope

only do var to define it

for example

var cool = 0

cool = 1
console.log(cool) //1

[empty owl]

o ok

how do we do a round trip ping

  message.channel.send("Ping! " +  message.createdTimestamp - new Date().getTime() + " ms");   
  message.channel.send(`💓${bot.ping} ms`)

[west raptor]

let also works @mossy vine

https://perfectly-balanced.as-all-things-should.be/i/b352.png

[empty owl]

um so how do u do a roundtrip ping

[mossy vine]

@west raptor he was asking abuot var

so i responded with an example abuot var

[west raptor]

o

oh i see now

im dumb

sorry

[empty owl]

and how do I d an api ping

message.channel.send(API: ${bot.api.ping} ms)?

[west raptor]

what

[knotty steeple]

bot.ping

also why is eris mentions so weird

[west raptor]

https://perfectly-balanced.as-all-things-should.be/i/043r.png client.api isnt even a thing.. did you even read the docs..

[knotty steeple]

like

i make a command and i want to get the first mention

no problem

i run the command and i mention 1 person it gets everything

if i mention 2 people it gets the second one

which is weird

[earnest phoenix]

I figured it out

Ok so

I was trying to make a button

That was in a link

And I think i got it

Is it

<a href="link"><button> text </button> </a>

@loud salmon Would this be right?

[loud salmon]

not sure, i dont really work with html

[earnest phoenix]

Oh

Darn

Who does?

[languid dragon]

yes

yes that would work fine

an easier way to achieve that would just to do this

<style>
    .link-button {
        /* the styles for your button here */
    }
</style>

<nav-or-something-else>

    <a class="link-button" href="https://url.to/site">Some Text</a>

</>

[earnest phoenix]

I have a function that returns a value (via return result;), how can I pull that result after calling the function (blox.getByID("347890719");)?

NodeJS.

the value of the expression

so let/const/var coolResultValue = callFunctionHere(with, arguments);

Hmm.. Let me see.

This is only if the function is synchronous though.

if it isnt add await

If it's async, attach a callback or use async await

let result = blox.getByID(result, "347890719");
console.log(result);```

Such as that?

uhhhh

weird naming scheme but ok

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i dont think you want that first arg

so just blox.getByID("thing here")

It returns undefined,

Yet if I console.log the variable in the function, it returns the correct thing.

whats your code where you call the function

    var request = require('request');

    request({url: `https://myapi.com/${id}`, json: true}, function(err, res, json) {
      if (err) {
        throw err;
      }
      let result = json.Username;
      return result;
    });
};

where you call it

not the function definition

    
let result = blox.getByID("347890719");
console.log(result);```

ahhh

youll need to make a promise

and resolve that promise with result

new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
/*
Use resolve(something) to "return"
Use reject(something) to "throw"
*/
});

hi

i need help

exports.conf or export conf

depends on the lang

discord.js

it also depends on what you're trying to do

and whether you're using es6 modules

no reboot command

wait

@earnest phoenix Where do I put the function in that?

const Discord = require(discord.js); const moment = require(moment`);

exports.run = (client, message, args) => {
message.channcel.sendMessage(Pls Say yes``)
.then(() => {
message.channel.awaitMessages(response => response.content ==="yes", {)
max:1,
time:10000
errors: [time],
})
.then((collected) => {
message.channel.sendMessage(**rebooting.**).then(message => {
console.log([${moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')}] Bot yeniden başlatılıyor...)
process.exit(1);
}).catch(console.error)
})
.catch(() => {
message.channel.sendMessage('cancelled.');
});
});
};

exports.conf = {
enabled: true,
guildonly: false,
aliases: [],
permlevel: 4
};

`

@earnest phoenix you put the code for the function inside the promise's constructor's argument

@earnest phoenix that's correct iirc

Well wasn't I right

no

It was asynchronous

try module.exports

    });```

So you need to attach a callback to the getID

no nc

the fuckk

put it inside the function

ah

exports.help = { name: 'reboot', description: 'admin', usage: 'reboot' };

or

exports help = { name: '!marco reboot', description: 'admin', usage: '!marco reboot' };

Sounds like this is now a basic JavaScript issue

I see.

🤦 yes it is

I found np

i'm incapable of explaining well, search on MDN for promises or something

    blox.getByID("347890719");
    console.log(resolve)
    });```

(this is what you should do first before asking)

Sorry, I'm trying to learn a new language.

which is why you shouldn't dive headfirst into something you don't know

Well, I've made it pretty far.

I just need help with this one thing.

@earnest phoenix copy the code from blox.getByID

Mk.

except return something -> resolve(something)

and throw something -> reject(something)

The point is I'm trying to make it a package.

ok

so wait

that doesn't really change anything

exports.getByID = function(id) {
    var request = require('request');

    request({url: `https://api.roblox.com/Users/${id}`, json: true}, function(err, res, json) {
      if (err) {
        throw err;
      }
      let result = json.Username;
       resolve(result);
       reject(result);
    });
};

Yeah. Its just super confusing.

Python is much simpler.

i beg to differ

but ok

ok but

how do i do it

!

what you do is

take this stuff

uh huh

copy it in between the {} in ```js
new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

}):

oh shit

and use resolve when you want to return something

from there, where you call the function, use async/await or .then to obtain the result

Just stop

Stop blindly guessing

Just stop

And actually make an attempt to learn.

exactly

new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  exports.getByID = function(id) {
    var request = require('request');

    request({url: `https://api.roblox.com/Users/${id}`, json: true}, function(err, res, json) {
      if (err) {
        throw err;
      }
      let result = json.Username;
       resolve(result);
      
    });
};
});```

Hi

So, that would be in my module. Correct?

Who can help me ?

I want send a message to all user of my discord

NC, please

I try : message.guild.members.send('Test')

We are trying our best

What? I am asking for help.

But is not work

you're asking for us to completely teach you something you dont know

I did as he said, and pasted it in.

We are not here to teach you JavaScript.

Plz ?

That's why the internet exists

It is a simple question, I'm not asking you to teach me it.

oh wait

it isnt

IAM that is not correct

i just noticed that

im dumb

its better

Who can respond me plz ?

It would be so easy for you to just walk me through it, I've already spent an hour and a half on looking for a solution.

How can I fix that code?

i've tried explaining it to you

several times

By learning JavaScript.

exactly

Stop you squabble in this channel ....!

Plz

I've watched like 20 videos on it already.

Instead of driving us crazy, make an attempt to learn

That's why I asked?

I want to learn.

Shut up @earnest phoenix

you could have asked somewhere where an automated program (like a webserver) could have responded

instead of having to drive real humans insane

When I say make an attempt, I don't mean asking and expecting to be spoon-fed.

@earnest phoenix you can help me ?

I'm not asking to be spoon-fed, I'm asking how to fix it.

Sure...

@earnest phoenix message.guild.members.send('Test') Are you trying to DM all users?

you're asking that, and then refusing to learn

Yes$

Something so basic

nc that's wrong

[mossy vine]

@earnest phoenix no, dont send messages to all of your users, your bot will be kicked from here if it does

[earnest phoenix]

^

Just all users of my discord

So 180 members

[mossy vine]

still bad idea

[earnest phoenix]

still not a good idea

[mossy vine]

just tag everyone

[earnest phoenix]

No ...

[mossy vine]

why not?

its way simpler

and isnt borderline api abuse

[earnest phoenix]

Why not my idea?

a) api abuse

[mossy vine]

because its fucking annoying

[earnest phoenix]

b) super annoying

[mossy vine]

just tag everyone

[earnest phoenix]

No dm 180 users

exactly

Is not abuse

no dm

Just 180 ....

"just"

[mossy vine]

"just 180"

[earnest phoenix]

thats a lot of people

@earnest phoenix alright. Mind explaining one last time why the code is incorrect?

just tag everyone or here if you're so obsessed with annoying people in your server

Pl give me code for this

@earnest phoenix if you werent expecting to be spoon-fed, then you should have understood what IAM said.

I want

Send a mesage to all peaple of my discord

@earnest phoenix you want to export a function that returns a promise that contains the original body of the getByID function with the addition of the use of resolve

So ?

@earnest phoenix I did.
https://gyazo.com/6eadd7fa6ebc3f8fa3f412b2fd8434d4
https://gyazo.com/d3bb8b2e63ce3e2bb132bb60b8e16433

which was not what i meant

@earnest phoenix Yes. I do, yet how do I do that?

NC I'm done. I've told you out exactly what you need to do

@earnest phoenix ?

IAM has explained it correctly

@earnest phoenix What did you mean?

What code did you want me to copy...

parts of that code

more precisely the body of the function

What part?

Ah.

Alright.

?.......

Plz i'm here

I'm not a ghost

@earnest phoenix you shouldnt dm every user in your server. period.

@earnest phoenix Nobody will help you abuse Discord's API.

By body, do you mean:

    var request = require('request');

    request({url: `https://api.roblox.com/Users/${id}`, json: true}, function(err, res, json) {
      if (err) {
        throw err;
      }
      let result = json.Username;

      
    });
};```

Or do I keep the resolves?

[mossy vine]

@earnest phoenix stop randomly tagging people, we wont help you abuse the api and annoy your members

[earnest phoenix]

So help me

Cyber: "we wont help you"
Gauthus: "So help me"

[mossy vine]

no help

what is your native language? @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

Mystery

Die.

[mossy vine]

what

[west raptor]

@mossy vine What was he asking?

[mossy vine]

@west raptor wants to send dm to all members of his serevr

[west raptor]

lol

@earnest phoenix Yea no

[earnest phoenix]

a server of 180+ people i might add

[west raptor]

Thats API abuse

[modern sable]

whats happening here

[west raptor]

nothing

[mossy vine]

kid wants to be spoonfed api abuse

[earnest phoenix]

crazy people

help vampires

api abusers

[mossy vine]

and insulting comment

[earnest phoenix]

utter anarchy

[mossy vine]

sdcroll up

[languid dragon]

@earnest phoenix that's against Discord Terms of Service and nobody here will help you with it

[earnest phoenix]

Can someone help me with setting up customprefix system per guild,
this is the code I have, but it doesn't respond to setprefix in the db
https://hastebin.com/upesacoyeh.js

• make a db
• fetch from db

[brittle nova]

any benefits to using classes for commands?

[earnest phoenix]

I have done @earnest phoenix >_>

@brittle nova Maybe if you like OOP

Some people prefer functional programming, so they use functions

[earnest phoenix]

how can i prevent someone from using bot commands?

[ruby dust]

like a blacklist?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[ruby dust]

check if they are blacklisted before processing commands on their behalf

[earnest phoenix]

but how can i do that, lets say bot gets their ID

writes it in blacklist .json

[ruby dust]

if that's your setup, then check your so called blacklist.json if they are in it or not

[earnest phoenix]

i didnt try it just thinking about it

[grave mist]

dbl.on('vote', vote => {
  console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user.id} just voted!`);
});

Does this work
I tried it and it didn't work and didn't send any errors

[bright spear]

@grave mist well you'll need to set up the webhook in your bot's edit page

[grave mist]

Else it won't work?

[bright spear]

yes

[grave mist]

But I can't understand that webhook thing

Do I have to set webhook port etc?

[bright spear]

yes

[grave mist]

It can be random number?

[bright spear]

no

[grave mist]

Then?

And I don't have to include client in new DBL?

[bright spear]

dblapi.js will set up a webserver on the port you specify

client is for server count posting it has nothing to do with webhooks

[grave mist]

So I have to define them again?

I thought I could edit

So this will work?

const dbl2 = new DBL('mydbltoken', { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'xd' });
dbl2.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
  console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});```

[bright spear]

you dont need to define it again

you can use one dbl instance for both webhooks and server count posting

[grave mist]

But I have to use client for server count right

And webhookport auth for webhook

How to do like you said

[steel heath]

Is it possible to clear the members/messages or other things that is caching and eating from memory a lot with a code that can be evaled?

[topaz fjord]

yes

if you're using master d.js there's .sweep I think

[bright spear]

@grave mist ```js
const dbl = new DBL('mydbltoken', { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'xd'}, client)

[grave mist]

Ok thanks

[robust jackal]

is there a bot that anyone knows of that if I type a specific word/phrase into the chat a role is given?

[bright spear]

yes

dyno

well

you'll need to run a command

[robust jackal]

alright

what is the command?

or does it have to be custom

[grave mist]

?role @earnest phoenix <role you wanna give>

Oof it pinged an user sorry for the ping dude

[robust jackal]

I am talking a non-admin and mod command

[grave mist]

Why

Anyway role is given right

[robust jackal]

i.e someone joines a server and says a word/phrase and has a role named "secret club" a role that only a few people should know how to get. its not for this scenario but that is the overall porpose

[bright spear]

yeah just make a custom command

{!role {user} +rolename}```

[robust jackal]

will this be bot automated or is this a command I still have to type to giveb them the role?

[grave mist]

Is there something like emit event

So that I can check that vote thing without voting actually

[bright spear]

@robust jackal automated, only they need to type the custom command

@grave mist test button in ur bot edit page

[robust jackal]

ok

if the word was "wood" how would that custom command be changed?

@steel heath

[steel heath]

thanks you

[grave mist]

@bright spear I clicked test button but it didn't log that user voted

[bright spear]

did you set up the webhook in your bots code and in the dbl edit page?

[grave mist]

Didn't in edit page

http://prntscr.com/lsia50

Idk what to do there

[bright spear]

well your bot needs to be connected to an ip or domain

[grave mist]

To test it?

[bright spear]

that can be used to connect to the webserver

no

to use a webhook

[grave mist]

Wtf

How can I connect it

[bright spear]

where are you hosting your bot

[grave mist]

Glitch

[bright spear]

oh

do you already have webserver code using express?

[grave mist]

setInterval(() => {
  http.get(`http://${process.env.PROJECT_DOMAIN}.glitch.me/`);
}, 80000);```this?

[bright spear]

no, the code with express

[grave mist]

app.get("/", (request, response) => {
  response.sendStatus(200);
});
```this?

[bright spear]

yeah

whats your listener code

[grave mist]

Idk I just followed a guide once to set up my bot

[bright spear]

your app.listen code

[grave mist]

There's no such thing in my main file

[bright spear]

is your app.get code in your main file

[grave mist]

Yes

Even to know someone has voted, I have to do these many things?

[bright spear]

no...

these are only for webhooks

to immediately know when someone votes

[grave mist]

I just wanna know the id of the guy who votes

Nothing else

[bright spear]

you want to know as soon as they vote?

or you want to check if they have voted

[grave mist]

If A votes, bot should say A voted with his ID

Not checking

I know how to check

[bright spear]

yeah then you'll need to use webhooks

[grave mist]

Rip

[bright spear]

its not that complicated if you know js

[grave mist]

Idk anything about webhook

[bright spear]

you could use dblapi.js and connect it to your express webserver, or just add a route in express

[grave mist]

How to...

[bright spear]

which one

[grave mist]

Which is easy

[bright spear]

both will probably be hard for you

tbh

[grave mist]

If you guide me what to do, I can do it correctly

[bright spear]

ok lets just use dblapi.js

can you find the app.listen in your code

it probably is there somewhere

[grave mist]

Are you sure

I can't find it anywhere

[bright spear]

whats the name of your glitch project

[grave mist]

Why

You wanna see for yourself?

[bright spear]

i wanna check if it is getting requests

[grave mist]

It is private project, I can invite you

[bright spear]

just tell me the name for now

[grave mist]

You can't see it anyway

It is private

[bright spear]

i dont need to see the code

[primal egret]

[grave mist]

You just want that glitch.me link?

[bright spear]

yeah

[grave mist]

Quick.db uses it you can find what you want still?

[bright spear]

wut

[grave mist]

quick.db has webviewer

And that comes in the glitch.me link

So you can still find what you want?

Anyway it is https://amazing-bot.glitch.me/

[bright spear]

oh uh

idk if you'll be able to set up a webhook on that project if you already have that running a webserver

you'll probably need to make a new project

[grave mist]

I can remove that webview

Will that work then?

[bright spear]

yeah

well we would be able to get it working

[grave mist]

Do you want the port btw

It is 3000

[bright spear]

yeah ik

[grave mist]

Done

[bright spear]

ok so

can you add the code const server = app.listen(process.env.PORT)

[grave mist]

Then?

[bright spear]

its in the same file as your dbl code right?

[grave mist]

Yes

Anything else to add?

[bright spear]

can you make sure the const server is below your app.get code but above your dbl code

[grave mist]

It is

And it says OK

[bright spear]

ok good

now in your dbl code, change webhookPort: 5000 to webhookServer: server

[grave mist]

Ok

Done

[bright spear]

k now that should be good

now you can put stuff in your bot's edit page

the webhook url should be https://amazing-bot.glitch.me/dblwebhook

[grave mist]

Then?

[bright spear]

the webhook authorization thing should be whatever you set as webhookAuth in your code

[grave mist]

Then save or test

Yea it worked tysm

[bright spear]

yw

[grave mist]

It isn't a big process tho you could've said both of them are easy

[bright spear]

lol k

[earnest phoenix]

is there a way to remove that little watermark on the background of the bot page

[bright spear]

wdym

[earnest phoenix]

nvm got it

[grave mist]

Well .user says id then why there's .user.id

And .user.username says undefined

[bright spear]

wut

what lib?

[grave mist]

dblapi.js

[earnest phoenix]

How do you be gay

[bright spear]

oh

for the webhook there is no user.id

[grave mist]

Oh

Then?

[bright spear]

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

[empty owl]

I am making a pay command

I specifited the amount

but

it still replies with an error

  let mUser = message.mentions.users.first(),
      amount = parseInt(args.join(" ").replace(mUser, ''));
  if (!mUser) return message.reply('you have to include a person to pay!')
  if (isNaN(amount)) return message.reply('you have to include how much money you will pay!')
  let mBal = await db.fetch(`userBalance_${mUser.id}`),
      sBal = await db.fetch(`userBalance_${message.author.id}`);
  if (mBal === null) mBal = 0;
  if (sBal === null) sBal = 0;
  if (amount > sBal) return message.reply('you do not have enough money to pay this person!')
  if (amount < 1) return message.reply("hey you can't pay $0!")
  db.add(`userBalance${mUser.id}`, amount);
  db.subtract(`userBalance${message.author.id}`, amount);
  message.channel.send(`Paid ${amount} to ${mBal.username}!`)
    let payLogEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()

      .addField('Time', `${message.createdTimestamp}`)
  bot.channels.get(521112640815366144).send({embed: payLogEmbed})

[empty owl]

got it

so

sooooo

soOOOO

it works

but doesnt

it sends the success message but doesnt actually pay

  let mUser = message.mentions.users.first(),
      amount = parseInt(args[1]);
  if (!mUser) return message.reply('you have to include a person to pay!')
  if (isNaN(amount)) return message.reply('you have to include how much money you will pay!')
  let mBal = await db.fetch(`userBalance_${mUser.id}`),
      sBal = await db.fetch(`userBalance_${message.author.id}`);
  if (mBal === null) mBal = 0;
  if (sBal === null) sBal = 0;
  if (amount > sBal) return message.reply('you do not have enough money to pay this person!')
  if (amount < 1) return message.reply("hey you can't pay $0!")

  db.add(`userBalance${mUser.id}`, amount);
  db.subtract(`userBalance${message.author.id}`, amount);
  message.channel.send(`Paid ${amount} to ${mUser.username}!`)
    let payLogEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()

[hard sorrel]

hey!

I'm wondering on using Individual User Id Voting Check for the past 24 hours.
My bot is in python
I've checked the dbl python lib source code but I havent found any function for this request
Can someone help me with it plz?

[bright spear]

@hard sorrel looks like its not supported by dblpy so you'll need to make a direct request to the api

[timber quarry]

anyone got a few seconds to help code a simple bot? looking for something that monitors a folder and if a new .txt document arrives, prints its contents to a specific channel. im shit at coding.

[bright spear]

nobody's gonna help you code a bot lol

if u have a specific question u can ask

[timber quarry]

any idea where I could find folks willing to work a small project?

not sure where to start even.\

[bright spear]

not unless you're gonna pay

[hard sorrel]

Ad whats the link torequest plz

[bright spear]

wut

[hard sorrel]

Bcs it only tells bot/id/votes

But is the domain the same

[bright spear]

sec

https://discordbots.org/api/bots/BOTID/check?userId=USERID
change BOTID and USERID

[hard sorrel]

Also doc tells That authentification is required but what is dbl auth 🤔
Thanks for the help 😜

Ty

[bright spear]

add an Authorization header with your bot's DBL API key as the value

[hard sorrel]

I see

I don't think so

Shit

[timber quarry]

if i have a python script that requires servercomm as a command line argument what could that be? i.e. #The program should be called in cmd like so: TestBot.py 'directory' 'channel' 'OAuth2 Token'

comline = sys.argv #sys.argv is a list of the arguments/parameters given in the command line
directory = comline[1] #the first parameter
channelcomm = comline[2]
bottoken = comline[3]
servercomm = comline[4]

cant figure out what its asking for got the rest going.

[formal agate]

In discord js, im getting an error while using ytdl-core. The error say that the "url" must be a string, i think i know what it means but idk how to do that nor understand if that's al;l there is to it.
Code im using form tutorial:

const voiceChannel = message.member.voiceChannel;
    if (!voiceChannel) return message.channel.send("You must be in a voice channel to play music.");

    const permissions = voiceChannel.permissionsFor(message.client.user);

[zealous veldt]

Please properly format your code blocks

[pastel mulch]

mongoose or quick.db

[formal agate]

wdym by format properly @zealous veldt?

you mean show the whole code?

[zealous veldt]

no

change the start of the block to this

```js

and then a new line

will make it look like js

[west raptor]

@pastel mulch well one is local db and the other is 3rd party so which ever you feel like using tbh

```js

oof

[formal agate]

happy klep?

[zealous veldt]

there ya go

more readable now

[formal agate]

lol

[bright spear]

probably ytdl(args)

ig args isnt a string

shouldnt it be ytURL?

[formal agate]

this is args

var cont = message.content.slice(prefix.find(p => message.content.startsWith(p)).length).split(" "); //slices off the prefix, then puts it in a array
    var args = cont.slice(1);```

[west raptor]

args is a array

not a string

[bright spear]

^

did you write your code or did you just steal it

cuz it seems u dont know js

[formal agate]

"stole" the command

made some mods

but its basically the same thing

oof

[brittle nova]

My plan for persistent timers is to have an interval on ready every whatever seconds (maybe 5 - 10) to check the database for events that need to be fired and handle them accordingly. This won't be very exact though. If a timer is set for 45 seconds, it may be 50 or 55 seconds before it is handled. Is there a way to have exact and persistent timers without having the interval be less than 1 second?

using nodejs and mongodb

[earnest phoenix]

well

when the bot starts up

you can have it setTimeout to whenever the DB says the event is due

[languid dragon]

@brittle nova what's this for

[brittle nova]

@languid dragon temporary moderation actions for now

[sick cloud]

if your using it on one server its safe ish to cache and check every 3~ seconds

my bot for reminders queries the db every 10 seconds, caches and the timer queries the cache every 2 seconds

[brittle nova]

So I guess you can't actually get it exact?

[sick cloud]

not really

unless you can stress your db that much

[bright spear]

Well some DBs have subscription thingies where it sends u an update or smth

[late hill]

You could do what iAmThe32Bit suggested to get it ~exact

But note that if there's no event saved when you startup it won't do anything

You could just set the timeout when you set the event to fix that

You can even make it able to do multiple events

By setting the timeout to whichever one comes first

And at the end you can make it set another timeout for the next one

[earnest phoenix]

guys my audioclient does not play the first time connects any fix?

[languid dragon]

Just check a time stamp every time an event is emitted

That way u don't need to fill it with timers

@brittle nova

[brittle nova]

It's not an actual event

by event I mean something to be done

[late hill]

Yeh

Something to be done -> function

Execute the function

In the timeout

[keen drift]

@coral trellis hey, h0w do you store guild bans, user bans on ur bot

[coral trellis]

Is this a legit question?

[keen drift]

yes

[coral trellis]

You can just store them in a database on ban event

[keen drift]

https://i.imgur.com/UcaU8hG.png

this is my ban structure

how does yours look

[coral trellis]

I don't actually store them anywhere, I just have them sent into the logs channel.

[west raptor]

submit it @dusty oasis

[keen drift]

in the logs channel

[west raptor]

https://discordbots.org/newbot

[keen drift]

so how does your bot know what guild to ban

[coral trellis]

Oh wait I mistook your question

So like in terms of Global bans?

[keen drift]

yeah

[coral trellis]

Oh I use an API

As it's easier and well I have other admins taking care of them as well

[keen drift]

so how does the bot know tho

I was thinking a task that checks the ban database once a while

and compare it to the local cache of guilds

if match, leave the guild

[coral trellis]

So I use the API's endpoint with the users ID on member join and if it returns true it bans the user

It doesn't loop through all the servers as I am too lazy and it takes too long

[keen drift]

do you do guild ban

or just user ban

[coral trellis]

User ban I believe

[keen drift]

i believe

[coral trellis]

😩

@keen drift I am doing a rewrite of the bot so it doesn't really matter at this stage

[keen drift]

same

i'm just trying to plan things out

get the foundations done

[coral trellis]

I have an entire repo dedicated to the planning of it all

[keen drift]

i'm currently working on a wireframe

gonna post it on my subreddit and get some feedback

sort of a like sneak peak and feedback

[coral trellis]

Send me the link so I can take a look

Maybe I'll snatch a few ideas

[keen drift]

i'm almost done

it's a simple sketch

but I want to get some feedback soon

[mossy vine]

python, whats the difference between split and rsplit?

[keen drift]

looks clickable

click on it

[mossy vine]

ohh rsplit starts from the right

[earnest phoenix]

can i have 2 arrays in 1 .json?

lets say i 2 arrays which are 1 = random numbers and 2 = random strings

[late hill]

Your json has to be an object or an array afaik

You could make it an object with 2 arrays

Or an array with 2 arrays

[earnest phoenix]

{
    "array1": [
    asdasd,
    123123
]
    "array2": [
    j663,
    123
]
}

this is what i meant

[late hill]

{
"firstArray": [1, 2, 3],
"secondArray": ["one", "two", "three"]
}```

[mossy vine]

yes you can do that

[late hill]

Your example won't work

As it's missing a ","

[mossy vine]

oh yeas its missing the colon

[earnest phoenix]

after ]?

[mossy vine]

not colon

[late hill]

yes

[mossy vine]

the whatitscalled

[late hill]

comma

[empty owl]

Do we refer to jsons as const config = require('./config.json')

config.array

[earnest phoenix]

i dont expect spoonfeeding, but how could i append an string to .json's array?

allowing users to append strings

[late hill]

The file extension isn't needed if that's the only file you have with that name @empty owl

[empty owl]

Oh ok

[late hill]

If your json is an array than config will be an array in your case

[empty owl]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

   if (cmd === "writetest") {
         let text = args.join(" ")
         fs.appendFile('test.json', text, function(err, text){
            if (err) console.log(err);
            console.log("Successfully Written to File.")
         });
        }

[late hill]

What are you using that for ^

[earnest phoenix]

im trying to learn how to write .json files

then add member ID's

to blacklist

[late hill]

I would recommend using a database.

[earnest phoenix]

what do you mean

[late hill]

Store them in a database rather than just a json file

[earnest phoenix]

i dont know what do you mean by "database" ;c

[late hill]

You can read/write data to a database

[earnest phoenix]

app.post('/users', function (req, res) {
// retrieve user posted data from the body
const user = req.body
users.push({
name: user.name,
age: user.age
})
res.send('successfully registered')
})

[late hill]

👀

[earnest phoenix]

its example from the internet

[late hill]

For what? xd

[earnest phoenix]

pskdfjklsdjfsdf

do you mean

another type of file

[late hill]

I just don't think you should save stuff like that in a json file

As I'm pretty sure appendFile would just add it to the bottom

And ruin the file

There's probably some tricky stuff you can do

[earnest phoenix]

file for each user?

[late hill]

But a database is made for this kind of stuff

A database isn't a file 👀

[earnest phoenix]

i didnt mean that

if i had blacklist folder

than just store each user in separate file

[late hill]

Would work

[earnest phoenix]

google isnt helping me very much

[late hill]

I mean

[earnest phoenix]

nvm, ill find a way

[late hill]

Never a bad time to start learning about databases

mlab offers 500mb of storage in their free plans

You can use the mongoose package to integrate it in your project

It's pretty easy to setup

[marsh matrix]

I need a bit of help extracting posts from reddit

Anyone know about this? I'm using Python (discord.py)

[earnest phoenix]

TypeError: Cannot read property 'has' of undefined

do you know this error

[lament meteor]

pretty self explainatory

[misty rune]

^

[mossy vine]

you have been asking this for hours

[formal agate]

Lol

[late hill]

It means whatever u put before .has is undefined 👀

[formal agate]

Or the var, const etc

[valid frigate]

reddit has an option to display subreddits as json without an api token

[empty owl]

@high anchor what are u using it for

[earnest phoenix]

how can bot read if json contains user ID?

im trying to figure this out but it doesnt work >(

if member.id === ids.json {
function

}

[empty owl]

?

[valid frigate]

well first of all if that's javascript you need to wrap the if statement with parentheses like if () {}, second, if you're just looking for a user id it typically doesn't have to be inside a json, you can just put it in an array like ['userid1', 'userid2', ...]

[empty owl]

let a = []

[valid frigate]

if it's an array inside a json, like

{
    users: []
}

then you can just iterate over users using a for loop

or use .includes()

[empty owl]

if (member.id === '1,2,3') {} or return

[valid frigate]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/includes if you wanna know more

[earnest phoenix]

oh i see

i get idea now

[valid frigate]

👌

[earnest phoenix]

can i use fs.appendfile

[empty owl]

Anyone here certified

[earnest phoenix]

to write json

its easier as json

[empty owl]

u know u can just list them out

Like '.'.'

[earnest phoenix]

now the problem is in appending userid

i can append in normal files

e.g. text files

[empty owl]

@valid frigate help him im a noob

[valid frigate]

eh

[earnest phoenix]

turns out its same as in other files

[valid frigate]

i dont understand

[earnest phoenix]

fs.appendFile("blacklist.json", json , function (err) {

jesus fucking christ

it overwrites it

[quartz kindle]

appendFile is not meant to be used with json

it will break it

you have to write the entire file at once

[high anchor]

@empty owl to give my bot reddit post watching

If i just grab the json then i cant do any reddit user auth, meaning i cant implement approve/remove posts from Discord

Suppose that’s the only drawback

Snoowrapper needs an API token tho

[empty owl]

Like a random meme from Reddit?

@high anchor

[ruby talon]

(if you're using python use praw for the reddit thing)

[slim heart]

how can i get the bot to know if an emoji exists. cuz i have it working if the bot is in the server with it but with the nitro emojis it cant find it
discord.js

[bright spear]

client.emojis.get('id')

[slim heart]

client.emojis.map(id => id.id).contains(arg[i].replace(/>/, "").split(":")[2])

i just do that

but im encountering emojis from servers the bot is not in

due to nitro users.

so sometimes this creates problems

[earnest phoenix]

http://bfy.tw/LGfM

[bright spear]

@slim heart if the bot isnt in the server then it wont know the emoji exists

[earnest phoenix]

^

[bright spear]

so you can just check if its undefined/null

[slim heart]

yeah thats what i mean\

is there anyway at all i can tell even tho?

[earnest phoenix]

If you are using emojis, I recommend putting the bot in your own server then using your server's emojis across servers.

[bright spear]

uh

just if(emoji)

[slim heart]

no for the emojis that are in server the bot doesnt have

cuz its not in client.emojis

I already have emojis covered for emojis that the bot is already in

i literally showed my code above

what im asking is if theres any way at all of telling its an emoji if the bot isnt in the server its from

[wide ruin]

const d = require('discord.js')
const fs = require('fs')
const c = new d.Client()
const ms = require('ms')
const token = process.env.TOKEN
const prefix = '?'

c.on('message', async(message) => {
if(message.content.startsWith(prefix)){
  
}

});

c.user.setPresence({
  game: {name: 'with carrots'},
  status: 'idle'
}).then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)
c.login(token)```

Just the start of a js bot has an error

Cannot read property setPresence of null

[inner jewel]

because there's no c.user

because it hasn't logged in

[wide ruin]

Do I move it up?

Just to the end of the consts

[inner jewel]

no

you move it to a handler

eg ready

[quartz kindle]

you have to use the ready event

[wide ruin]

c.on('ready' => ({

[quartz kindle]

yes

[wide ruin]

{(*

Thanks

[quartz kindle]

not the way you did it tho

the same way you do the message event

[wide ruin]

With async

[quartz kindle]

you dont need async if you're not using async stuff

[wide ruin]

const d = require('discord.js')
const fs = require('fs')
const c = new d.Client()
const ms = require('ms')
const token = process.env.TOKEN
const prefix = '?'

c.on('message', async(message) => {
if(message.content.startsWith(prefix)){
  
}

});

c.user.setPresence({
  game: {name: 'with carrots'},
  status: 'idle'
}).then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)

c.on('ready', async(ready) => {
  c.login(token)
})``` this?

@inner jewel

[inner jewel]

no

you set the presence in the ready handler

[wide ruin]

Oh

[sick cloud]

ready doesnt provide anything

its just ()

[wide ruin]

Fixed it, thanks

[west raptor]

I don't think bots can have rich presence @wide ruin

[wide ruin]

I got it from docs

[west raptor]

Still, I'm pretty sure bots can't have rich presence

oh

wait

thats not rich presence

my bad

[wide ruin]

Its ok

Also

Using this method, how can I do watching, listening, playing and streaming?

[sick cloud]

4,3,2,1,0

can you get the full url of where a users at

in express

like if someone clicks something from /profile/id can i get https://website.com/profile/id

[quartz kindle]

req.protocol + req.hostname + req.originalUrl

[west raptor]

@wide ruin with type iirc

[wide ruin]

Wdym @west raptor

[high anchor]

@empty owl yup

[empty owl]

you can use

random-puppy api

for random image urls from reddit

[high anchor]

Oh. Well, my bot is used on reddit discords... a post watch is a requested feature. Sorry for misunderstanding your question

That would be a nice misc command though

[bright spear]

@slim heart exactly, its not in client.emojis, so client.emojis.get('id') will return undefined

[slim heart]

yes

you're not understanding my problem

[wide ruin]

const d = require('discord.js')

module.exports.run = async(c, message, command, args, ms) => {
  let ping = Date.now() - message.createdAt()
  let p = new d.RichEmbed()
    .setTitle('Pong!')
    .setDescription(`${ping} ms!`)
    .setColor('00FF00')
  message.channel.send(p)
}``` why doesn't this work?

[slim heart]

I'm trying to see if there's anyway to tell if it's an emoji even tho its not in there

[bright spear]

oh i see

you could try https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/ID.png

it'll be a 404 if its not found

[inner jewel]

@wide ruin that'll just calculate clock differences tho

clock difference + time for the ws payload to be received

[wide ruin]

It worked on another bot

So what should it be?

@inner jewel

[empty owl]

hey

    if (code !== "bob") return message.author.send(`${code} is not a code.`).then(message.delete(message))```

how do I make it so i can check if its a different code

like that?

    let codes = [
    "bob",
    "greekyogurt",
      "ligma",
    "despacito",
    ]
      await message.delete
    if (code !== codes) return message.author.send(`${code} is not a code.`).then(message.delete(message))

[inner jewel]

.then(message.delete(message)) is wrong

[empty owl]

why

wait

dont focus on that

[inner jewel]

and i'm pretty sure await message.delete is invalid syntax

[empty owl]

i have an async

[inner jewel]

also you want Array#includes

[empty owl]

o

[inner jewel]

yes but that's not a function call

[empty owl]

so

[inner jewel]

you're awaiting the delete function

not the delete promise

you should learn js

[empty owl]

ok

but

nvm

    let codes = [
    "bob",
    "greekyogurt",
      "ligma",
    "despacito",
    ]
    message.delete(message)
    if (code !== codes) return message.author.send(`${code} is not a code.`)

Ok need the help now

[inner jewel]

i already gave you the answer

Array#includes

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

[empty owl]

oof

Ok

[violet dagger]

same

[empty owl]

@inner jewel so like this?

   if (code.includes(codes) === false) return message.author.send(`${code} is not a code.`)
