Alright so, I am using eris and I am trying to figure out how I could do
gm!settins welcome_message Hello {user} please read {#rules}
and then it would put that in my Member add event
sick cloud
store it in your db, on join get it from the db
lusty dew
Hm
Is that really necessary?
I will do it if that is the only way
But if there are other options
sick cloud
thats the only way
quartz kindle
use caching for the member add event
save the message, guild id, channel, etc... in the db, and add the guild id to an array in memory, so you can quickly look up if the guild has welcome messages enabled or not without hitting your db

I have this in an external command and I thought that by putting a "this." there that it would refer to the original client object in the main file, but it doesn't seem to be the case. How would I do this properly?

just the section it's getting the error from

that mean infojeux

split hazel
How do i get an ip of someone who visits my webpage?
earnest phoenix
Database @split hazel
earnest phoenix
Why you need ip?
split hazel
I need it so i can make users submit a form only one time
sly wyvern
What tech stack?
split hazel
and compare it to the one in database
sly wyvern
Since that's definitely something you have to do server-side.
split hazel
Would that maybe be a get request when someone visits a site?
sly wyvern
Since you need access to the HTTP request headers.
(And in any case, if you're trying to defend against multiple submissions, you need to put that code somewhere where an attacker can't just delete it the way they can with client-side JS.)
@split hazel In any case though the exact way to do it depends on what you're actually using server-side.
Since the way you do it in PHP is different from the way you do it in Node which is different from Python which is different from ...
split hazel
I don't worry about that since i pass everything through my web server as soon as a request gets sent
oh wait nevermind
thats true
sly wyvern
Getting a visitor's IP address is something that only the actual server answering the request can do.
amber fractal
Why would you need a users ip?
earnest phoenix
is there a way to connect discord bot to phpmyadmin database?
harsh nova
what lang
sly wyvern
I'm guessing PHP since phpmyadmin...
harsh nova
im the big dumb
first thing from ddg https://www.hostmysite.com/support/mysql/phpmyadmin/
amber fractal
well the bot needs to connect to it
sly wyvern
phpmyadmin is a database dashboard, unless it has some kind of extra plugin API then basically you just have to put your data in the database.
And then you'll be able to view and edit the database with the database dashboard.
earnest phoenix
python
actually
cx
i have the database... i have the tables and everything.. im just struggling with connecting to it
i tried importing pymysql but it doesn't seem to connect to the database
sly wyvern
Ok, so is the issue is you can't connect phpmyadmin to the db, or you can't connect python to the db?
Have you tried following along with one of the pymysql examples? (assuming it's the latter issue)
earnest phoenix
what
phpmyadmin is where the database is stored
ive been going at this for a few hours, so yes
it seems i need to use MySQLdb? idk!
opal copper
I want to create a command who give the first role of a user in an other server, how should i do it ( discord.js )
quartz kindle
Phpmyadmin is an interface, not the actual database
earnest phoenix
;o
ok well i used phpmyadmin to create the database
and i have it lol now im just trying to figure out the correct command for the bot to connect to the database.
quartz kindle
Phpmyadmin supports mysql/mariadb
earnest phoenix
Cuz there's pymysql and MySQLdb
earnest phoenix
ok, now im just trying to connect to the database
but when i try to connect, it says "Access denied for user 'user@MYSERVERIP'
problem is, MYSERVERIP is the ip for my server, NOT the ip for the database.
(and yes................. i have the ip for my database in the settings file, so idk why it's trying to connect with my server's ip?)
quartz kindle
Whats the ip you put there?
earnest phoenix
im pretty sure it's my database's ip
quartz kindle
Is your database running on the same machine as your python bot?
quartz kindle
You're using mysqldb now?
earnest phoenix
db = pymysql.connect("IP","USERNAME","PASSWORD","DATABASE_NAME")
quartz kindle
I dont know python very well, but in their example they're using host=ip instead of just ip, same with other fields. Idk if that makes a difference though
earnest phoenix
yea, i'll have to try it.
my hosting provider just informed me they block connections on the server im using, so imma have to resolve this issue first lol
quartz kindle
Yeah firewall rules was my next suggestion xd
Im using google vps, and it blocks everything by default
earnest phoenix
oh that suckss ^
na, i got a bud who owns a hosting company, so he just helps me out ๐คท c:
quartz kindle
Well, firewalls exist for your protection, its good that it blocks everything by defauly
You just need to configure it
earnest phoenix
Hey I wanted to know how I could make a command that reads the args , and does something based on those specific words... so for example https://hastebin.com/jedupeyefa .. if the user puts in *rforum Announcements , i want section to equal "announcements.27"
sly wyvern
What have you tried?
earnest phoenix
i dont know how to start it up
im pretty sure its something really simple that im missing
sly wyvern
How to start what up? The bot?
earnest phoenix
no ROFL
its so hard to explain im sorry
so i want section to be a list of things basically
but like
fk its so hard to explain it
sly wyvern
Ok, so which API are you using?
earnest phoenix
cheerio? but its not rlly an API problem
sly wyvern
Ok, so you have an entry point somewhere that's in response to an event from the API right?
sly wyvern
Somewhere on that entry point you're receiving the text of the user's message as an argument or such.
earnest phoenix
is if they say " Off topic" then i want section to be off-topic.26.. if its announcements then section will be announcements.27
quartz kindle
So... Person types announcemets, first extract the word from the message using split and slice and join, or equivalent
Then have an object with keys and values containing the command words as keys
earnest phoenix
^^
is there an example anywhere that i can see how to use it
because ik what ur talking about but idk how to use it properly
sly wyvern
First off, what are you doing to recognise commands right now? You do have a working command that doesn't do anything with arguments right?
quartz kindle
Object = {
Announcements = "announcements.27"
}
Then do Object[args]
earnest phoenix
so like would i do Section = { yatayatayata }
quartz kindle
Where args is the extracted word from the message
Im on the phone so i cant type a better example properly
opal copper
I want to create a command who give the first role of a user in an other server, how should i do it ( discord.js )
earnest phoenix
i learn as i go
lament meteor
not suggestable but ok
opal copper
i want to create a command that give the first role of a user ( for example : Luca (first role : special bot ))
opal copper
yes
lament meteor
what lib?
opal copper
discord js
lament meteor
stable i presume?
opal copper
yes
lament meteor
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Role?scrollTo=calculatedPosition u look at the highest one
not sure if d.js sorts https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMember?scrollTo=roles by the position
opal copper
bot.guilds.get(infojeux).roles.find(role => role.members.first).author)```
I've tried this but he give me 'undefined'@opal copper are u getting a users or the guilds?
opal copper
a user of a guild
lament meteor
ok
lament meteor
how
thats because u dont understand js
you never mentioned sections in your code
steel heath
wow telk that was rude
earnest phoenix
ik i didnt
im not an idiot
as you can see sections isnt defined yet because im having trouble on how to define it
lament meteor
i presume u are taking it from input which means section[input] would give what u need
opal copper
I want to create a command who give the first role of a user in an other server, how should i do it ( discord.js )
sly wyvern
@opal copper Uhhh, not sure exactly what you're asking here...
You want a command that grants a particular role to the first person who uses it on a given server?
Aside from technical implementation, first off why do you want that?
opal copper
that for the staff server of a community, when that command will drop the role of the user that he have in the community server and will give it in the staff server
the hoist key will help me, but idk where should i put in
sly wyvern
Ok, so what you want is to synchronize roles between two different servers? So that when granted a role on one server, they're granted the same role on the other server?
opal copper
idk what exactly you mean
sly wyvern
The problem isn't not knowing how to do things, the problem is that nobody understands what you're asking for through your broken English.
opal copper
that because i'm french
sly wyvern
I don't blame you for that, I'm just trying to understand what it is you actually want.
opal copper
ok so for example in the community server i have this role
and in the staff server i have this one
soft plaza
Anyone know how to install mysql community server instead of Maria db?
opal copper
and i would like that when i put my command "i/uinfo" that give me the name of the role that i have in the community server
sly wyvern
Hmm, I think I understand what you're asking now.
opal copper
cool
sly wyvern
mariadb is the same as mysql
earnest phoenix
@sly wyvern
sly wyvern
just a different version
soft plaza
Yeah but it's not compatible with my code
earnest phoenix
so what he wants is , if we are in this server, he wants to be able to get his user info from his server and show it here
which is dumb
but hey
not my bot
sly wyvern
@soft plaza did you try it? The whole point of SQL is that code written for one database will work on another database, and that's doubly so for MariaDB and MySQL which are literally just different versions of the same database.
soft plaza
I know, the this is that I have to modify a lot code to make it compatible, il just looking for a way to get the old version
sly wyvern
Literally the only thing you should need to change is the database driver.
soft plaza
I got it on an other machine but on a new one, it installs mariadb
sly wyvern
If that.
Basically, you just need to figure out the guild id of the community server, then call client.guilds.get(<guild-id>).roles
opal copper
bot.guilds.get(infojeux).author.roles.find(role => role.name).author) is the command that i test
infojeux is a var
for the id of the server
sly wyvern
actually wait no wrong I misread the docs
opal copper
but the hoist key get the role that is separate in the user list
sly wyvern
Ok, I'd go with client.guilds.get(<guild-id>).members.get(<user-id>).roles to get a user's roles.
opal copper
for me <user-id> is replace by author
sly wyvern
Yeah of course, you pass in message.author.id there.
The key thing is that you're trying to get the Member object from the other guild, not the Member object for the guild you're currently in.
opal copper
yes now he give me [object Map]
sly wyvern
And that's the role list. I'm not sure how you want to process that, since a user can have more than one role, but you should be able to iterate over it and do what you need.
opal copper
i've tried this but he give me again [object Map]
bot.guilds.get("418898640942399509").members.get(message.author.id).roles.filter(role => role.hoist.name))
opaque eagle
Why do u have a second ) there, may I ask? (at the end)
sly wyvern
what's role.hoist supposed to refer to?
opal copper
discordjs give me that information
sly wyvern
Oh wait sorry just read that.
Sorry I'm not that familiar with the js library, I mostly use the python one.
opal copper
oh ok
sly wyvern
I see what you're trying to do though.
opaque eagle
p.s. object map is what u want tho
it just says [object Map] becuz it doesn't wanna spit the whole map onto the console/message
sly wyvern
That last bit should probably be .filter(role => role.hoist).map(role => role.name)
opaque eagle
^
sly wyvern
or something to that effect
don't remember if .map is something that works on Map collections or if that only works on sets and lists.
opaque eagle
Probably... .filter(role => role.hoist).array().map(r => r.name).join(" ")
opal copper
that working but he give four other role that is not hoist
opal copper
Its to recognize everyone and other but that will usable for other thing
dusky steeple
Can someone help me figure out what is wrong with this. I have no clue how to fix and the stuff I have been reading isn't helping me much lol. It is telling me that .then is a Unresoved Function or Method
let translation = toTranslate.slice(toTranslate.length - toTranslate.length, toTranslate.length - 2).join(' ');
translate(translation, {to: language}).then(res => {``` And yes I know I asked this earlier.Does translate() return a promise?
sly wyvern
Clearly whatever translate() returns isn't something that has a then in it.
opaque eagle
then is just a function used to run code after a promise is resolved
it's a default on all functions that return a promise
opal copper
yes
dusky steeple
the only other line that has anything to do with translate is javascript const translate = require('google-translate-api');
sly wyvern
that's kinda critical to know...
opal copper
it just made me jumps between the 5 roles
opaque eagle
Where'd u define language?
sly wyvern
Are you sure they're not all set as hoisted?
dusky steeple
this is the whole code:
let toTranslate = msg.content.split(' ').slice(1);
let language;
language = toTranslate[toTranslate.length - 2] === 'to' ? toTranslate.slice(toTranslate.length - 2, toTranslate.length)[1].trim() : undefined;
if(!language) {
const embed = new discord.RichEmbed();
embed.setColor('RED');
embed.setTitle('An error has occurred');
embed.setDescription(`Please supply a valid argument.\n**Example** \`${msg.settings.prefix}translate Hello world to english\``);
return msg.channel.send({embed: embed});
}
let translation = toTranslate.slice(toTranslate.length - toTranslate.length, toTranslate.length - 2).join(' ');
translate(translation, {to: language}).then(res => {
const embed1 = new discord.RichEmbed();
embed1.setAuthor(`${client.user.username} translation`, client.user.displayAvatarURL);
embed1.setColor('RANDOM');
embed1.addField('Translation', `**From:** ${res.from.language.iso}\n\`\`\`${translation}\`\`\`\n**To:** ${language}\n\`\`\`${res.text}\`\`\``);
msg.channel.send({embed: embed1});
}).catch(err => {
msg.channel.send({
embed: {
description: 'โ We could not find the supplied language.',
color: 0xE8642B
}
});
});```yes
sly wyvern
Ok. Have you tried actually printing out the whole object before the filter to see exactly what's in it?
opaque eagle
console.log translation and translate for me before the translate line
opal copper
he give me object map
sly wyvern
Well yeah, you need to actually print out the map's contents.
If you want to see what's inside it.
opaque eagle
Are you console.log-ing to get [object Map] or is it smth else?
dusky steeple
you talking right here?
console.log(translation);
translate(translation, {to: language}).then(res => {```yep
dusky steeple
ok 1 sec
dusky steeple
ok the log says this
{ translation: 'Hello world', language: 'french' }
opaque eagle
The npm package u use only seems to accept ISO 639-1 codes
dusky steeple
um ok lol
opaque eagle
Look at the examples: https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-translate-api
sly wyvern
so instead of french you need fr
opaque eagle
Show me what the console said
dusky steeple
{ translation: 'Hello world', language: 'fr' }
opaque eagle
And it's the same error? nothing in the message and the stack trace changed?
dusky steeple
it doesn't give me an error in the console. The code seems to skip this part and go to the .catch(err) part of the code.
translate(translation, {to: language}).then(res => {
const embed1 = new discord.RichEmbed();
embed1.setAuthor(`${client.user.username} translation`, client.user.displayAvatarURL);
embed1.setColor('RANDOM');
embed1.addField('Translation', `**From:** ${res.from.language.iso}\n\`\`\`${translation}\`\`\`\n**To:** ${language}\n\`\`\`${res.text}\`\`\``);
msg.channel.send({embed: embed1});```Then how'd u handle the error?
gilded blaze
Log the error
opal copper
the problem now for me is why he gives me 5 roles while 4 are not hoist
sly wyvern
What does bot.guilds.get("418898640942399509").members.get(message.author.id).roles.filter(r => r.hoist).array() actually output though?
dusky steeple
this is what the console says when I log (err)

opal copper
when i add map(e => e.name) he give me the same thing
opaque eagle
Where do u see [object Map]?
What's ur way to see what it outputs?
Do u make sure to console.log() and not do anything crazy like send it to a channel?
dusky steeple
me?
bright spear
thats a bug with google-translate-api @dusky steeple
opal copper
oh me
opaque eagle
Most likely ^^
opaque eagle
Or the actual api endpoint, just saying
opal copper
no @opaque eagle now i see the name of role but he give me 5 roles of which 4 are not hoist
sly wyvern
How did you verify that the four other roles are not hoist?
opal copper
yes
dusky steeple
@bright spear TYVM that worked perfectly
bright spear
yw
opal copper
here are the roles he shows me
and here are the roles that i have
1 can be hoist and its crรฉateur
sly wyvern
And when you check the hoist on each of those roles, what does it say?
opal copper
hoist flag ?
sly wyvern
Not "what do you think it is", what actually is it?
sly wyvern
Because I can pretty much guarantee it's true for all of them.
What you need to do is sort by the role position value and get the first one.
If you want to know which one you get displayed under.
opal copper
here is the highest role
sly wyvern
But ALL of those five roles are hoist roles.'
By virtue of the fact they were returned by that filter expression.
opal copper
hoist define all the separating roles in the users list ?
because for me hoist is the role OF the user who is separated in user list
opal copper
yes that what i mean
sly wyvern
And all five of those roles have that setting switched on.
opal copper
oh ok, i'm just stupid
sly wyvern
What you can do though, is try sorting the role list based on role.position.
sly wyvern
Sort based on role.position and then just take the first element of the array.
bright spear
actually
sly wyvern
bot.guilds.get("418898640942399509").members.get(message.author.id).roles.filter(r => r.hoist).array().sort(r=>r.position)[0]
bright spear
just check if the role is member.hoistRole
sly wyvern
Or is it last? I don't actually know.
opal copper
ok thx i will do that
bright spear
sly wyvern
So that'd be bot.guilds.get("418898640942399509").members.get(message.author.id).hoistRole?
sly wyvern
They're trying to get the hoist role of the user on a different guild than the one in which the command is being issued.
opal copper
ok now he give me 1role but not the right role
bright spear
sly wyvern
Doing the [0] thing or the .hoistRole thing?
vernal basin
I'm getting this really weird error every time I launch my bot.
at errnoException (dns.js:50:10)

(library is node.js)
Any clue why?
opal copper
position give the role calculated in the api
so .calculatedPosition is the right to use
bright spear
@vernal basin ur network is screwed up
opal copper
no ?
vernal basin
oof
sly wyvern
Try the bot.guilds.get("418898640942399509").members.get(message.author.id).hoistRole one instead that @bright spear pointed out.
bright spear
^
opal copper
ok
vernal basin
well it just started doing it yesterday
and I haven't changed anything related to my network since like two weeks ago
opal copper
now he give the right role
vernal basin
oof
opal copper
i just add .name because he give me @deleted-role
vernal basin
feelsbadman
opal copper
bot.guilds.get("418898640942399509").members.get(message.author.id).hoistRole.name
is the right to use, thx for help guys. And sorry for my english
sly wyvern
Don't worry about it, we don't mind as long as you at least try.
sly wyvern
(Honestly it's better English than some of my clients at work ...)

I Keep Getting This Message When I Make A New Command
sly wyvern
have you tried removing the extra indentation?
Also, the dialog box is pretty useless, you should look at the actual console error since that'll tell you the line number of the issue.
ocean vale
it wants to remove from here
sly wyvern
Yeah, you need to fix your indentation. In python every single line has to be indented correctly or the program either won't work or will do something else entirely.
slender thistle
Don't indent @client.event
sly wyvern
^
slender thistle
It must stay on the same column as async def
sly wyvern
Also, you need to indent the following line if message.content ... four spaces past the start if the previous line.
sly wyvern
sloppy code = sloppy thinking
slender thistle
C o n s i s t e n c y :^)
ocean vale
this is my first time coding by my self
sly wyvern
I wish you luck then.
But in python, indentation matters.
It's not like C or Java where you can put whatever you want wherever you want.
sly wyvern
And indenting things the same way, even in the rare cases where it doesn't matter, lets you avoid a whole class of weird issues where you thought it didn't matter but it actually does.
smoky mica
can anyone help?
sly wyvern
There's no penalty for indenting things correctly even when it's not strictly necessary.
Field with just the title?
Like, just don't set the description.
Which API are you using?
smoky mica
yeah but the description goes "undefined"
sly wyvern
Oh, didn't see your earlier post, discord.js.
smoky mica
yes.
sly wyvern
So, you're passing the embed dictionary to send, what about that doesn't let you omit the description?
What about message.channel.send({embed: { title: "My Title" }}); doesn't work for you?
Oh wait you're talking about fields?
Well same thing there, just pass the name attr and no value.
And if that doesn't work, pass an empty string.
smoky mica
No no, I just need to get rid of the description and only keep the title
sly wyvern
What have you tried?
slender thistle
Does description: "" work?
lament meteor
which is better? canvas or gm for img manipulation(node.js)
slender thistle
I've seen people here suggest canvas
lament meteor
idk i find canvas missing features
well not rlly missing but most of the stuff people prefer built in like greyscale
smoky mica
I tried to add a blank field thinking I could keep a title but nah ๐
lament meteor
u could keep the title
lament meteor
@smoky mica like this?
smoky mica
.addField automatically gives you title to keep and description i only kept title but description still appears and says undefined
wot
lament meteor
smoky mica
i'm talking about fields
lament meteor
oh
hmm
why do u want a field with an empty value
just use a description or title
amber fractal
zero width space
smoky mica
so i want like this a title for something below like
Main title
Sub Title
amber fractal
Zero width space in the field value
lament meteor
โ
smoky mica
I was wondering that but it leaves a big gap ya know
amber fractal
You cant do it otherwise that I know of
smoky mica
nvm lol it counts as nothing written in quotation marks
I saw a guy do it with his bot
smoky mica
lemme try i think i messed up smth while writing
\
it worked but as i was correct its leaves a gap
bright spear
yes its supposed to
smoky mica
exactly but i just need rating (main title) there and no gap, my stupid dumb ass cant understand how to get this to work
worn hull
.addBlankField()
bright spear
its not possible
each field has a space for title and content
you can make one blank but it'll still be a blank space

What is the best way to develop a balance/credits
I tried using better SQLite but it returned an error each time, and I had all prerequisites
sick cloud
just experiment
sick cloud
the database work itself is basic, your setting and getting
the rest is upto your development experience
last lava
Would fast-csv work for this?
sick cloud
what?
last lava
Nvm
sick cloud
i mentioned all the databases above
amber fractal
But whats a good db for when you need to shard or how do you modify your code to work with it is the real question
sick cloud
rethink is the best for sharding
it supports connection pools and stuff, and its realtime
amber fractal
How would you even test sharding tbh
I feel like there isnt much you can do
I would say shard a bot and test it on 2 guilds, but they will probably have the same shard id
sinful lotus
MongoDB is fine
late hill
I use Mongo for my sharded bot
Depending on library you should be able to get 2 shards with 1 server on each @amber fractal ๐
Like Eris has options for amount of shards/amount of servers per shard
lethal plover
Can someone help me with a purge/clear command please. I am using discord.js-commando btw
DM me with the help plz
lethal plover
I wanna be fork fed tho
lethal plover
Nah i want my bot to do it ๐
all it can do atm is respond to ping, hey, r!help, r!flip, r!roll, r!ban, r!kick and thats it
and r!prefix
mossy vine
then add more commands
make your bot delete the ammount of messages from the channel by writing a command
lethal plover
Thats wat i want help w/
mossy vine
if you have an actual script that doesnt work, we help. but noone will give you a complete code
knotty steeple
look above
mossy vine
and also that
lethal plover
channel.bulkDelete(5)
.then(messages => console.log(`Bulk deleted ${messages.size} messages`))
.catch(console.error);
How do i make this look for args that the user puts after r!purge thoughh
mossy vine
you write a command parser that should already be done since youre using commando
mossy vine
yeah its bad idea
lethal plover
this si the template i have written for most of my commands
const commando = require('discord.js-commando');
const bot = new commando.Client({
commandPrefix: "r!"
})
class CommandName extends commando.Command
{
constructor(client)
{
super(client,{
name: 'name'
,group: 'file'
,memberName: 'name'
,description: 'description of command'
});
}
async run(bot, message, args)
{
//command goes here
}
}
module.exports = CommandName
oh my fucking god dont tell me you are making a new client for every command
mossy vine
of course not
amber fractal
Wait
lethal plover
Doesnt the bot need to be defined again in a new file?
mossy vine
no.
amber fractal
No
mossy vine
why the hell would it have to be?
lethal plover
o
amber fractal
lethal plover
well, ill fix that after i amke sure this is working, Will this work?
const commando = require('discord.js-commando');
const bot = new commando.Client({
commandPrefix: "r!"
})
class PurgeCommand extends commando.Command
{
constructor(client)
{
super(client,{
name: 'purge'
,group: 'management'
,memberName: 'purge'
,description: 'Deletes a given amount of messages.'
});
}
async run(bot, message, args)
{
channel.bulkDelete(args)
.then(messages => console.log(`Bulk deleted ${messages.size} messages`))
.catch(console.error);
}
}
module.exports = PurgeCommand
He may pass args
mossy vine
i mean
lethal plover
i got the error An error occurred while running the command: ReferenceError: channel is not defined
mossy vine
is it a number, the rest of the message, or whatever
mossy vine
oh i wonder why you get that error
because the channel is not defined maybe?
this is why you dont copypaste examples
amber fractal
?
lethal plover
oh channel.bulkDelete
lethal plover
How do i fix that how do i make it the channel that the command has been said in
amber fractal
You pass message
knotty steeple
god
what did i come back to
i told you write your own code dont just copy paste the example
lethal plover
i think i fixed it
TypeError: Cannot read property 'bulkDelete' of undefined
what does that mean
quartz kindle
That you didnt fix it
lethal plover
im confudled x 2
amber fractal
The part before bulkDelete isnt defined
knotty steeple
lmao
amber fractal
What does undefined even do?
knotty steeple
undefined is an actual module
lethal plover
lethal plover
why is module red squigly lined
knotty steeple
literally just Define your undefined yo!
dusky steeple
hold your mouse over it
lethal plover
How do i define bulkDelete
amber fractal
Do you still module.exports at the bottom?
lethal plover
ok audio
amber fractal
bulkDelete isnt the issue
lethal plover
knotty steeple
did you copy paste that also
knotty steeple
totally
lethal plover
Which is why it has errors
cuz im a nub
what does this mean
Thats when i hover over the red squigly thing
knotty steeple
read the error
lethal plover
whats a token constructor method accessor or property
quartz kindle
Thats why you shouldnt use commando when youre a noob
lethal plover
:>
someone just tell me plz im confusedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
quartz kindle
You wont understand if we try to explain
mossy vine
dont use commando
knotty steeple
and learn js
quartz kindle
Its like explaining fractions to someone who oknly knows addition and subtraction
lethal plover
But commando makes it look neater and stuff cuz i can use different files
dusky steeple
I tried using commando once and made 1 line and said f*** this
knotty steeple
you can use different files in normal d.js
dusky steeple
um you can use different files with any language or am I wrong on that?
knotty steeple
someone tell me a decent sized bot made in d.js
lethal plover
Im following dapper dino's videos btw
knotty steeple
quartz kindle
You can do everhthing commando does wjthout it, plus you learn how commando itself works
dusky steeple
What do you consider "decent sized"?
earnest phoenix
@lethal plover lol you need to work on rexi properly
lethal plover
No
knotty steeple
eh
lethal plover
Fuck you
knotty steeple
more than 1k
earnest phoenix
...Faisal how dare u
lethal plover
@earnest phoenix stop u can code the bot urself then
dusky steeple
in more than 1k servers?
dusky steeple
definetly not my bot lol
earnest phoenix
no thanks @lethal plover
lethal plover
ooooooo thanks @knotty steeple
knotty steeple
about
lethal plover
Imma do that now
knotty steeple
making a bot
dusky steeple
im only up to 20 servers lol
knotty steeple
lethal plover
I already have a codecademy account, but i forgot the password
so unless i make a new email i cant use that
quartz kindle
Just reset your password?
lethal plover
im stupid ok
quartz kindle
You dont know how to reset passwords and recover accounts?
lethal plover
I dont usually need to do it as im not normally a one to forget passwords
and the email isnt sending
this is slowwwwwwwwww
quartz kindle
Patience is a virtue
earnest phoenix
how often is it okay to update presence
slender thistle
2 mins at the very min, 5 average iirc
dusky steeple
How could I make this show up in a embed thumbnail?
const avatar = body.avatar || body.defAvatar;
.setThumbnail(avatar) assuming you use d.js
dusky steeple
hmm I tried that and it threw an error.
dusky steeple
embed.thumbnail.url: Not a well formed URL.```then its obviously not a well formed url
dusky steeple
I am trying to pull the bots avatar from dbl site
earnest phoenix
bot.user.avatar
dusky steeple
no I have a command like Luca does
earnest phoenix
or client ^
dusky steeple
to search for a bot
earnest phoenix
oh
dusky steeple
I have the bot reading the information correctly just trying to figure out how to show the bot that was searched for avatar in a thumbnail in embed.
earnest phoenix
wait a sec I am going to api
dbl.getBot("id).then(botI => {
console.log(botI.username)
let avatar = botI.user.avatar

@bitter sundial when the webhook sends the POST request, what do I have to type in $_POST['here']
sry for ping
empty steppe
hm but there can be multiple fields and fields have a name and title, etc
hushed berry
@empty steppe the content length is separate from embeds
embeds have their own limits separate from 2000
bright meadow
nik can u help me too xd
empty steppe
oh interesting, where can i read up on that?
empty steppe
thanks nik
hushed berry
no
bright meadow
cri
hushed berry
lel
bright meadow
๐ค
hushed berry
like that dosent make sense
bright meadow
But $_POST is an array
bright meadow
so I just retrieve the first index of the POST array?
hushed berry
"POST array" doesn't make sense friend
no i have no idea what you're talking about
it just makes a standard post request to the url you specify
bright meadow
what do you use then
earnest phoenix
js
bright meadow
@hushed berry as before, I tried to run a server on java, but no requests are going in
Is it my vote server/vps or is it DBL
hushed berry
well i mean
bright meadow
alright umm a vote went in and worked but somehow when I press "Test" it doesn't
welp, weird
topaz fjord
That's because it doesn't just work magically
You usually need to do a reverse proxy
lucid yacht
I want to add an incentive for people to vote for my bot by giving them money in one of my bot's games after voting... I understand how to use the DBL API to check whether a user voted or not, but would anyone have any recommendations on how to only give them the money once? All I can think of right now is to set a 15-second timeout after they call the vote command to check again if they voted and add the money if they did, but then if they miss that timeout without knowing it and still vote, they won't get the money which seems really shoddy and jerry-rigged. Any recommendations? Using discord.js
This is a rough draft in notepad of what I was thinking of:
if (message.content === "botcall vote") {
dbl.hasVoted("message.author.id").then(voted => {
if (voted) {
message.channel.send("You've already voted!")
} else {
message.channel.send("Here's a link to vote")
setTimeout(() => {
dbl.hasVoted("message.author.id").then(voted => {
if (voted) {
addMoney()
} else {return;}
}
}, 15000)
}
});
}
hmm okay
late hill
If that seems to complicated for you, you can use getVotes() as long as you don't get more than 1000 votes a month
Check getVotes() every x amount of time and compare it to previous votes
New votes means those people voted in that bit of time
So reward those people
lucid yacht
Okay, I'll definitely look more into that, thank you!
honestly I should probably figure out the webhook eventually anyway
