@rocky dagger you define coinUser in line 8, coinUser is not a valid property within discord's message object so it errors on line 11 since it can't access a property that doesn't exist
drop the message. part wherever you do message.coinUser and try again

You think the Amazon EC2 is good for hosting? Or should I do GCP?

@earnest phoenix can't just ask that, we need additional information, such as, what library are you using?
earnest phoenix
@dusky marsh Windows / Destop/MyBot <--- JS
dusky marsh
Okay, that doesn't answer my question, tho I'll assume you're using Discord.js
Read that. And if you have future questions, it'd be easier for everyone involved if you asked clear and concise questions.

For the box containing a long description for my bot, i cannot seem to get the correct css class to alter the background color for it, i'm quite new to css and html, the screenshot below is the classes/ids and such, i can't seem to select the proper one to apply the attributes to.
(this is for my bot's dbl homepage by the way, if anyone is unsure)
pale marsh
The classes you need are .longdescription.content
languid dragon
With a space
It would be .container .longdescription .content
If you can't get it in the first scope, just keep elevating the scope until you override the css
earnest phoenix
.container .longdescription .content {
// stuff in here
}
so this would be the correct syntax?
languid dragon
Yh
languid dragon
Yeah
amber fractal
I dont use the .container
pale marsh
You should
languid dragon
Doesn't matter really
quartz kindle
for classes it doesnt matter as long as it has good enough specificity and finds it
but for IDs, you should use them if you can
css scans the whole document to find classes, but it gets the ID directly from memory. so if you use #id .class the css will only scan that specific ID for classes, not the whole document
IDs also give you a shortcut in javascript, so you dont need to use getElementById. example:
<element id="test">
ok
</element>
<script>
console.log(test.innerHTML) // ok
</script>```

Can someone tell me what can i do to avoid this: Ignoring exception in command None
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "ping" is not found
This problem comes out after adding this:
@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def owping(ctx):
msg = await client.say("**Pinging...**")
ms = (msg.timestamp-ctx.message.timestamp).total_seconds() * 1000
embed = discord.Embed(title = "β± {}ms".format(int(ms)), color = 0x50D050)
await client.edit_message(msg, new_content = " ", embed = embed)

}
//End
//Push to base chart
var valueForChart = []
for(var i=0;i<10;i++) {

@late hill yes, a category is actually a type of channel

what would the regex for if the string doesnt only have permitted characters
So like for example i only want 0-9 and the letter A
So:
"2a 912938" => false
"b" => true
"2a0912312 b" => true
hushed berry
wait
oh hm
one sec
[^0-9a]
if you just do that
and do like
matches any
it wont match the whole thing

instead of / /g?

?

@hushed berry wait is there a way to do it like conditional in the regex?
hushed berry
what are you trying to accomplish

cuz i kinda wanna do the .exec so that i can get the specific part of the string that wasnt allowed

For peeps that use source control, do yous use source control with a second bot and just update your main bot upon updates?
what's the go?
Like, how would I efficiently run certain versions only while being able to add stuff?
sick vine
I have a test bot to test fatures before adding them to my main bots
If someone isn't in the servers my bot is in, then they can't DM the bot right?
celest saddle
I can check if you want, what's your bot's name and tag?

@sick vine yes, you need a mutual server

Ok good.
I disbanded a server due to drama and I don't need them trying to use my bots

Anyone have idea how to reduce cpu usage of my bot? I have 2 cpu cores at my vps and my bot only in 700+ server but they're using 100% of cpu :(
late hill
Yes figured it out
languid dragon
then fix them 
using css
google it
no
CSS is literally the easiest thing to learn
you don't even have to learn it
just copy paste the code from the site
use F12 to open up chrome's dev tools and use the selector tool to pick what element you want to change the CSS of
figure out the class/ID's and element names and place that in the long description as CSS
for example
you have an element called
<div id="first">
<div class="second">
<third>
Text
</third>
</div>
</div>
#first .second third{
color:text-color-here;
background:some-background-color;
}
#first .second{
/* more styles for .second */
}
#first{
/* styles for #first */
}
no
that is the website's CSS
that's my CSS lmao
whatever is in the element with the class ".longdescription"
it's not imported as a CSS sheet
it's injected directly into the HTML as a style tag
i explained that earlier
no you haven't
you found thenewstyle.css which is my CSS which is the sites CSS
yes

CSS is easy to learn but hard to master

How to use async ?
https://hastebin.com/utapifehaz.js
When i pay someone and check balance , balance becomes undefined.. its nothing wrong with the balance command but this command messing something up
dusky marsh
@earnest phoenix you use "await" in an async function to await data
earnest phoenix
hi
late hill
Use a database
Also doesn't make much sense that you're using an object for just 1 value
this is probably an issue
Another issue is that your code doesn't check for negative values
Which means user a could pay user b a negative amount to steal their money
fix those things π

How can a bot hack your account though

your token

How does it get that?

In google chrome
slender thistle
Checked the invite link, redirects to nothing
Applications don't get access to user tokens
Even through the OAuth2 page
earnest phoenix
Press F12 => Application => Local Storage => https://discordapp.com/ and find the token or watch this video:
https://youtu.be/HT1GyN6fJ5A
marble needle
that's called logging in
earnest phoenix
π
mossy vine
question is about how a bot can get a token (it fucking cant)
posts video about how you can get your own user token
9000 iq
tl;dr there is no way for a bot using the discord api to get access to your account, therefore a bot cannot hack your account.
earnest phoenix
I spyk theu anglishe trer bi1
mossy vine
not even google translate can fix that sentence
marble needle
highly enjoy how you link to an outdated video aswell
discord stopped storing tokens in local storage for months
you can still find them in api request headers, either being the case you're not gonna grab anyone's token with a bot
mossy vine
mfw you answer my question before typing it out
rotund sinew
Okay, to clean up servers, how can I make my bot DM a help message?
rotund sinew
Oh right, yea
So lets say, client.on('message', msg => { if (msg.content === '$help') { msg.reply('help message'); } }); would become client.on('message', msg => { if (msg.content === '$help') { <user>.send('help message'); } });
mossy vine
no s my h
<> means placeholder
in that case it would msg.author.send
but dont make a new event listener for every command

Ok, I made a program for 8ball, pretty easy? Well, I need the people to ask the question and the bot repeats it before the answer.
var rand = ['Yes', 'No', 'Why are you even trying?', 'What do you think? NO', 'Maybe', 'Never', 'Yep'];
return rand[Math.floor(Math.random()*rand.length)];
}
client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.content === '$8ball') {
msg.reply('Your anwser is: ' + doMagic8BallVoodoo());
}

Ok, I made a program for 8ball, pretty easy? Well, I need the people to ask the question and the bot repeats it before the answer.

Currently you just say $8ball and it workswhy dis not work!?!?
if message.content.startswith('/8ball'):

are you getting any errors?
nimble urchin
nope
mossy vine
are you sending anything back?
rotund sinew
Nope, just wont run if I add the question
mossy vine
do you send anything to the channel after defining the randomlist
send the full /8ball code
@rotund sinew because you are checking exactly for $8ball so if my message is $8ball hi it wont work because it isnt exactly $8ball
you would need to use message.content.startsWith
rotund sinew
var rand = ['Yes', 'No', 'Why are you even trying?', 'What do you think? NO', 'Maybe', 'Never', 'Yep'];
return rand[Math.floor(Math.random()*rand.length)];

msg.reply('Your answer is: ' + doMagic8BallVoodoo());

rotund sinew
Yep
marble needle
not startswith
mossy vine
one second you define the incoming message as msg then check for message.content
marble needle
how did that even reply in the first place then
rotund sinew
var rand = ['Yes', 'No', 'Why are you even trying?', 'What do you think? NO', 'Maybe', 'Never', 'Yep'];
return rand[Math.floor(Math.random()*rand.length)];

Why is it that making discord boots attracts people who know little to nothing
Bots* fuckin ac
crimson gull
Because they like to think it is the best first project to tackle, for some reason.
dusky marsh
For some reason indeed, a reason I have yet to find lmao
rotund sinew
Ok... I am sorry for asking so many questions
neon swift
How hard can it be to make a discord bot. It only like needs to listen and answer
crimson gull
If you're a bot, that's all you need your bot to do.
rotund sinew
if (message.content.startsWith("$ban")) {
if(!message.member.roles.find("name", "MODS"))
return;
// Easy way to get member object though mentions.
var member= message.mentions.members.first();
// No mentions catch
if (member === undefined) return;
// Sends them a message
msg.member.send('You have been banned');
// Kick
member.ban().then((member) => {
// Successmessage
message.channel.send(":wave: " + member.displayName + " has been successfully banned https://gfycat.com/playfulfittingcaribou :point_right: ");
}).catch(() => {
// Failmessage
message.channel.send("Access Denied");
});
}
});``` sends the DM to whoever did the ban, I am trying to make it message whoever was banned.
crimson gull
Alright, to be fair, I have quite a few "unfinished" comments in my code.
The idea is to help you out in reading. It doesn't need to be perfect to be helpful.
rotund sinew
@mossy vine Thats because I just edited my kick command
grim aspen
rotund sinew
But yea, I don't get how to send it to them
coral hedge
You shouldn't have multiple message listeners.
marble needle
^^^^^^^
mossy vine
tHIS IS WHY
marble needle
great
coral hedge
Use a command handler instead.
grim aspen
ignore it @rotund sinew
crimson gull
You'll need some decent changes to your code, in general. Ignoring what you are trying to do, there are some things that should be changed just to make the bot run better as a whole.
neon swift
Sometimes I wish I knew more js just so I could see how stupid some people are with their discord bots

dont need to know a lot of js to smell the bullshittery that's going on in here on a daily basis

marble needle
pushing those mem leaks as far as your toaster can pull heh
neon swift
Has anyone made a library comparison that doesn't just compare API coverage?
I mean something like saying what features the language/library provide
rotund sinew
No need for it to store anything
coral hedge
msg.member is a GuildMember, so is member in your code.
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMember?scrollTo=send
Also message.member.roles.find("name", "MODS") is a deprecated way of using .find. Use the function equivalent instead.
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Collection?scrollTo=find
earnest phoenix
Correct me if I'm wrong, but seeing that slack and discord are nearly identical in user interface, are they the same on the back end as well? A discord bot would be easily slotted into slack?
ruby talon
Anyone knows why this returns "None"?
https://pastebin.com/iBJqLvuZ
(python)
Well prints 'None' is what I mean.
While running the subcommand 'list'.
earnest phoenix
@mossy vine We will be using bots to address equipment FAQ. Our company is based on sales/installation/maintenance of equipment. We have more maintenance personnel in the field than our office staff.
So having FAQ bots setup for specific pieces of equipment in specific channels would be great.
But other than the API, I would probably be able to repurpose it sounds like.
inner jewel
if you need to have it both in discord and slack you could write an abstraction layer over the actual platform
so you can reuse code between both
and only change what service is being used
earnest phoenix
I only need it in slack
but it would be nice to be able to copy and paste some functions from discord bots.
slender thistle
@ruby talon could you post that on hastebin?
ruby talon
Hastebin is a bit buggy for me.
I'll try tho.
Well
It doesn't seem to be working;
You can do it if you want to you have the code from pastebin.
loud salmon
Discord and slack have very different backends iirc
crimson gull
I can never get Hastebin to work.
rotund sinew
Me either
crimson gull
https://ghostbin.com/paste/urmry @ruby talon I uploaded it to Ghostbin (my preference) just in case it helps someone else out.
Wish I knew a bit more Python so I could help
ruby talon
Thanks tho. ^^
hushed berry
gists are kinda annoying tbh
neon swift
..........
That's not how you are supposed to debug your bot, not at all
also if your function doesn't need to deal with async code, there's no need to async def it
Your command prints None because aa() isn't returning anything
also those try except blocks are useless because there's never anything that would raise some error in those blocks
it's like expecting
try:
a = 1
except:
to throw an error.....
@ruby talon You still here?
explain me where did you learn how to python?
marble needle
its more of a programming at its core concept problem rather than the language he uses
neon swift
well yeah, but he is trying to use python, so I asked where did he learn it
ruby talon
Partly from myself, learning from other ppl there code and udemy (havn't finished that course yet tho).
And btw your statement: "Your command prints None because aa() isn't returning anything" isn't true since it just didn't meet the requirements to return something, because there is a difference in objects thats why it doesn't work.
And previously there was more code in those blocks so they stayed there for now.
and it doesnt work without async, believe me I tried.
But its fixed, I found it myself, it was a stupid mistake.
neon swift
didn't meet requirements to return == doesn't return anything
also your if statements will always be false. discord.Status is an enum, not a string
neon swift
and somehow having duplicate code and function definitions per for loop step is not a mistake ???
ruby talon
brooo chill, I prefer to first fix a problem and then optimize the code lol
works faster for me.
neon swift
"optimze" is used lightly in this context
marble needle
pasting the same block of code all over the place isn't what programming is about, your goal is to have it in one place and be able to use it wherever
neon swift
I think I could have the same command be one-liner
ruby talon
well
do it then IDC, but hf.
I would be happier if my code would run in place of it 'looking clean'.
(and most 1 liners aren't clean lol)
But I'm going further, have a great day!
π
rotund sinew
I don't want mine clean
ruby talon
And a tip endu for the future, don't make your messages so insulting.
It might not be ment that way but it really pissed me off for a sec.
Maybe add your opinion ect as tips then it will get appriciated.
π
neon swift
I mean, if facts piss you off then
split hazel
Our server keeps getting chain mail sent that spams the chat with huge text art. Any ideas how i could create a filter for them?
ruby talon
I just mean you could say it on another way.
neon swift
Arthur, you should really learn how to program, just because your code works, doesn't mean you know how to program
also, I did make your entire code a oneliner:
ruby talon
Well not really.
rotund sinew
Wait
marble needle
all he did was make you aware of clear structural errors, that's what happens if you ask questions in a software development, people will tell you what else is wrong with your code
rotund sinew
Whats that code do?
neon swift
Counts the status of members in this server
rotund sinew
So this would ctx.send(", ".join([f"{s}: {sum(1 for m in guild.members if m.status == s)}" for s in discord.Status]))
ruby talon
@marble needle I appriciate the critique, I just wanna help him prevent pission off other members that have been in a "bad" mood for the day.
Its not like I'm angry at you Endu xD
Endu, I wanted to get the amount online membs of a role.
But thanks tho.
neon swift
Online members are litterally all - offline
marble needle
@split hazel you could pick a few characters used in the art that are uncommon/don't usually occur in regular chat messages, filter message content based on those ascii art characters and delete them if the message contains whatever be it one, two or thirty of them
ruby talon
I should do that.
ty xp
neon swift
@split hazel Or you know, enable slowmode
ruby talon
@marble needle Maybe use it like if more than 70% of the message has those chars del those.
rotund sinew
ctx.send(", ".join([f"{s}: {sum(1 for m in guild.members if m.status == s)}" for s in discord.Status]))
}``` Doesn't workehm
rotund sinew
You said it counts members
rotund sinew

marble needle
for the love of god, stop whatever you are doing and read through all the content including links that are pinned in this channel

marble needle
copied some py eval command someone posted above and threw it into js
earnest phoenix
pythonscript
ruby talon
cry, hahaha you should invent that.

People already did, but nobody wants to make it a reality
why would you want scripting language for html that looks kinda like python but is nothing like python
marble needle
this > pythonscript https://www.emojicode.org/
ruby talon
Endu, can I ask you a question?
neon swift
π
ruby talon
with a function in python when you return more than 1 item, how do you do that?
Like for example:
def foo():
return False, 'bar'
How would you print the bar or get the False?
I'm probb stupid for not knowing this xD.
ruby talon
And could you do this in your return func?
barcount = 0
def foo():
return 'bar', barcount +=1
ok, ty
neon swift
no, you can't execute statements like that
ruby talon
thanks. ^^
rotund sinew
client.user.setGame("$help for Commands"); Can I make it like those others that say Playing <number of servers>
Oh right, djs
marble needle
are you aware of what expressions are in programming(or js)
rotund sinew
client.user.setGame( ${expression} + "|| $help");
Yes I know what they are, I don't know what expression I would use
marble needle
thats also not how template literals work
`${<expression>} and some other stuff`
you use backticks to wrap around the templated string
marble needle
read the djs docs and figure out how to get the server count lol
also, .setGame is deprecated, use .setActivity
split hazel
When you attempt to code a bot but don't know the difference between javascript and python
split hazel
Few posibilities
ruby talon
I think that #topgg-api is more appropiate.
And ehm, are you using discord.py rewrite or the async version?
If you're using async its normal that it doesn't work with just copying it.
Are you using your secret dbl bot token thingie?

discord.py rewrite is a bad lib for programming bots in python?
marble needle
itβs a rewrite, hence supposed to be better than the original build lol
slim heart
how can i add a full string of a few characters to an already made /[0-9jkdnjewj]/ because if i add the specific string to it then itll count any of the letter into it instead of it all combined
earnest phoenix
https://pastebin.com/pjDmjvn5 this.create isnt a function , what should i switch it to?
vernal rivet
Did you check the docs?
ruby talon
Couldn't find it.
(used control f)
I tought by doing discord.Object but seems like that only worked on async.
Exept if I'm trying to send the message wrong.
vernal rivet
You using discord.js?
ruby talon
My code representation:
channel = discord.Object(id='123456789')
await channel.send('foo-bar')
No discord.py.
Rewrite.
vernal rivet
IDK py, sorry
ruby talon
np ^^
vernal rivet
Next time you might want to say what lib your using π , it's help you as much as it helps know what you trying to do, on what lib
ruby talon
Yes.
I'm sorry forgot it this time.
vernal rivet
It's all good
ruby talon
Just the sec I found it lol.

I'm using DiscordRB, and is there a way to check if a channel is NSFW? I looked at the documentation and it mentions channel#nsfw and channel#nsfw?, but I tried both of those and got an Undefined Method error
maybe it has to do with Discord changing how NSFW status was handled, since the library was made?

if someone connected to steam on his discord, is there a way for me to get his steam link using JDA ?
tag me if u answer plz

afaik there is no way to get a users connected accounts with the api

if there was an error i wouldve posted it

ngl this is why I hate that db I could never understand how it actually worked so I settled with something simple 
The difference is big
rugged terrace
quartz kindle
have you tried debugging?
wanton walrus
earnest phoenix
no
quartz kindle
the simplest form of debugging is adding console.log in all relevant lines and log all relevant variables to see where it breaks
quartz kindle
then do this
earnest phoenix
this is what i get back
i literally got it working then it randomly broke again i didnt even touch anything
quartz kindle
console.log(global.db.get(relevantuser))
// update user code
console.log(global.db.get(relevantuser))
// update user code 2
console.log(global.db.get(relevantuser))```or equivalent
quartz kindle
i mean
do it the same way you do to get the user from the database
the idea is to read the user, then update the database, then read the user again, to see if the value was updated or not
and do this on each line that affects the database
if the database is not updated in a specific line, that means the sql query on that line is the problem
bright meadow
Any easy way to detect if message contains discord invite link π€
earnest phoenix
do you think that this part could be the problem?
coral hedge
What exactly are you typing as the command Sushi? Because from my understanding, amount is set to 0
quartz kindle
Lol
coral hedge
Nice.
earnest phoenix
thanx
β€
brings me back to my original problem , the bot allows me to gift someone an amount of coins that i dont even have, and that breaks the whole database
coral hedge
Because you didn't return on line 24. ("Not enough Stripes")
earnest phoenix
T-T how do i reset it lol
i did
not in the link i gave you
wait maybe i didnt tho
is there a way for me to reset the database? cuz its broken
coral hedge
If you want to delete all the rows in a table DELETE FROM tableName

Help

You have something wrong with your invite. Simple
Also, you can't add the bot to this server. Only people with perms can do that.
Ik
Iβm trying to add it to my test server
Like I said, you have something wrong with your invite.
earnest phoenix
is lavalink meant to use a lot of ram
only 1 stream of music uses like 90% of my ram
and i have 8gb ram
earnest phoenix
can anyone help me?
rustic axle
@earnest phoenix It uses a significant amount of compared to ffmpeg but not that much iirc...
are you sure a memory leak is not going on or you are not creating multiple instances?
sinful lotus
is it lavalink or your code?
earnest phoenix
that and lavalink is java, its going to eat your ram over a longer period of time
sinful lotus
yes but in my usage, mine is staying at 2gb
as well is it really in lavalink and not his code
humble plaza
I'm having trouble hosting my bot on deploys.io. Basically I bought the discord bot hostage package for a NodeJS bot and I keep running out of RAM apparently.
My bot simply responds with a link when tit see's the command in chat
I contacted support and they told me the server keeps running out of memory (its' only around 70MB, i know that's nothing in sense of modern day RAM but it's a simple bot with one functiom)
only costed 3 euros lol

Eh, no reason in asking an entire question when someone may not answer.

My bad.

just tell the question

Just curious if anyone has ran a bot on a RPI3, with a high server count, possibly using sharding.
knotty steeple
no

RPI3 farm? π€
knotty steeple
rpi is limited in many ways
knotty steeple
i dont use pi

if you don't need a lot of resources (aka no music) you can run a few thousand guilds on an rpi
spiral lava
Oh, alright, that's good to know. Won't be doing music, image rendering, etc.
ruby dust
in python, how would you get a datetime.datetime object representing 2 weeks ago from now?
nvm, got it working finally
slender thistle
@ruby dust How did you do it?
ruby dust
why did I have a feeling that someone will question me
there's a thing called datetime.timedelta
ruby dust
I wanted to use it for purge(), but the only way to make use of it properly is with after, but then there's this
it basically forces it to be True if you specified after, idk why but that messes up the purge

Someone can work good with java Strings?
Please DM

make your own regex

@bright meadow String#matches checks if a pattern matches the entire string
so its not the method you're really looking for

solemn walrus
I'm trying to make a starboard that only posts if 3 people (not including the person who posted the message) react to the message
rocky mesa
what lib?
solemn walrus
I'm using discord.js
amber fractal
I remember doing something like that a long time ago
Let me see if I still have it so I can remember what I did
Ah yes
48 lines of amazing code
It doesnt check for reactions on a starboard message though, just the original, suppose I could add it but meh
well 57 now I forgot to add stuff for removing stars
I mean I dont know how to explain it without giving you the code in a way that isnt obvious already
basically on reaction add if it is a star check it's count
if it's above what you want then add it to a starboard
and save the id, but it's obviously a little more complicated than this
I just cant really explain it better lol
solemn walrus
Thanks for answering
rocky mesa
im with mac and here is our current code, https://pastebin.com/WEyZ1Drj
we have made it go to the channel but the amount of stars on the message doesnt change
rocky mesa
kek
amber fractal
This is what mine looked like
amber fractal
The difference is I store my message ids in a db so you can do one from any time

So I was at a book store today and was looking at Node.JS Training books and was wondering if buying a book is the same as https://discord.js.org/#/ ?
Discord.js. The books are just learning the language not discord bot development.
amber fractal
The book will teach you about the language not the libraries
it's like expecting to find slang in a translation book
earnest phoenix
So is the website the best option?
earnest phoenix
Like I have someone helping me learn it, and most things I already understand.
If I were to get a book to learn, any good ones?
amber fractal
I never read any, so I wouldn't know, sorry
earnest phoenix
How did you learn?
amber fractal
A lot of self teaching and my high school
earnest phoenix
So Discord.JS be a good start for me or is there a better one?
I have a bot running now and is basic but I really want to expand it.
amber fractal
I'd say it's an easy lib to use
earnest phoenix
Yea it's laid out well.
grim aspen
so... i'm trying to make my bot react with an emoji, it's not working, what exactly am i doing wrong?
ruby dust
You need to send the full emoji string
grim aspen
ruby dust
How exactly the full string looks like you can get by adding \ at the beginning of it
amber fractal
Well you could ust do <Emoji>.toString()
ruby dust
Yeah no shit, do it here
ruby dust
Steven no need to make this even more complicated
amber fractal
Thats the full string of
grim aspen
what does the number represent exactly? making sure
amber fractal
the id
grim aspen
of the emoji
ruby dust
@grim aspen I wasn't saying that bots have to add that symbol to work with emojis, I was saying that you need to use this method to get the full string for the bot to use then
grim aspen
i'm trying to get it to send this emoji when ever it gets pinged: 
amber fractal
\:emoji:
grim aspen
i think it's an error by my system
ruby dust
What
amber fractal
it isnt
ruby dust
How can a string cause a system error?
grim aspen
i mean, instead of sending an emoji, it sends the text instead, your help is helping, but i think it's an error with my bot
amber fractal
the actual emoji
ruby dust
Not too literally
ruby dust
There, now copy and paste that into your code
amber fractal
there
earnest phoenix
got this error randomly, anyone know what tf it is?
Checked online and theres almost no references regarding it
the only answer i can think of is my bot has evolved and tried to join the vc using google chrome
but i don't think thats very accurate
Also the error is not consistent as its only happened once and was fixed with a bot restart. Not happened since
also code snippet
fiery birch
idk, but cool ide
bright spear
@earnest phoenix looks like you're using the browser version of discord.js
earnest phoenix
its normal discord.js
wide ruin
discord.js.
const token = 'NTI4NjU3MzE...........................OXP-uxP-c8'
const discord = require('discord.js')
const client = new discord.Client();
client.login(token)```the bot is offline
mossy vine
try adding this in your code and see if it logs anything
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Hello world!')
})```nothing
mossy vine
start your bot and screenshot your terminal
wide ruin
mossy vine
so it is running. just not going onlien
wide ruin
yeah
mossy vine
you sure the token is correct and is corresponding to your bot?
earnest phoenix
are you sure its the token and not the client secret
mossy vine
^
snow swallow
Δ
wide ruin
it has to be capital?
wide ruin
i set const discord to lower case tho
mossy vine
its defined as lowercase
shadow dust
Im making a refactoring of my bot command handler and im wondering whats best when a user edit a command message (example: !ping)
- Delete previous command related bot messages and repost
- Edit previous command related bot messages
The second option seem more complicated because I have to abstract away the message posting and I essentially need to fetch existing reactions if any and delete them so
ruby dust
Does discord.py cache servers and users into memory or elsewhere?
sinful lotus
I think mostly caches are in memory
split hazel
how would i make a timed mute using sqlite? i could use setimeout but my bot doesnt run 24/7 without restarting
slender thistle
Save timestamp in db
On bot startup, check if user is in db, if they were supposed to be unmuted, unmute and delete record if needed
And run settimeout when command is used successfully and on bot startup
sinful lotus
Play around with Date.now()
and save the value
then run an cron job that checks the db at specified interval
hushed zodiac
Who knows the jda and can help me fix my mistake?
spare goblet
how do most people handle huge amounts of help embed info?? my bot's help is getting really spammy but i dont have a site to refer them to
slender thistle
Pages
ruby dust
categorize your commands into more commands
earnest phoenix
either paginate the message or exclude descriptions from the commands list
@spare goblet maybe do a reaction system
sinful lotus
I dont know why you said hehe on that ^ but ok
crimson gull
Lol my bot was declined for having no actual features..I figured it had quite a few
sinful lotus
add more features perhaps
crimson gull
With 25 commands, I figured it was alright.
earnest phoenix
says actual functioning
crimson gull
They are. It handles quite a bit
Including account verification and linking, moderation, game information, etc
crimson gull
We'll see how it goes
mossy vine
i wonder why
sinful lotus
idk why are saying that like you are assuming that we will copy paste your code, but why dont you try it first before asking here if something errors
earnest phoenix
how do I make something like owner id but admin
with multiple admins
do i do it like this or
slender thistle
Correct
amber fractal
If you want to be given an error for not having a comma sure
slender thistle
Then you check if that array contains user ID
slender thistle
Yes
amber fractal
yes, you still need a comma in arrays
slender thistle
That's still an array
slender thistle
Yep
earnest phoenix
ok
thanks
how do I make so that a command checks if the user is in that array
if(message.author.id == config.json) {
code
}
its wrong
slender thistle
Load that json if it's in file and as I stated earlier, check if that array contains user ID
earnest phoenix
but how do I check
slender thistle
Google "json use keys"
amber fractal
amber fractal
no, if it's an array you need to check the full array, you're checking if an id equals an array. Also, I believe you can parse the JSON as you require it.
amber fractal
Oh
amber fractal
yes, if config.admins is the array.
earnest phoenix
ok

im getting crazy, do you know how i can control if in a input string there's any special characters? because i tried all the methods i imaged but nothing works, please help
mossy vine
you can try regex
fiery quest
i would like to do a special characters control for a battletag, so "#" is an exception
mossy vine
instead of making a blacklist of all the illegal characters, make a whitelist of all the allowed characters with regex
inner jewel
you don't need regex for that
mossy vine
how else would you do it then @inner jewel
inner jewel
an array of allowed characters
loop each character of the string
if not on the array, it's invalid
mossy vine
give me a minute

hasty dust
Hello. I'm new to all this bot stuff, i've never really touched code before. I was interested in learning how to code and program bots. Where could I start? Tutorials?
ive heard you use JavaScript
mossy vine
/[^A-Z1-9#]/gmi
that regex should be fine
slender thistle
You can use Python or JavaScript to start with
I strongly advice to learn the programming language itself and make some simple scripts first
mossy vine
@hasty dust javascript and python are the most popular beginner-friendly choices. i personally reccommend sololearn.com and w3schools.com for learning those languages. you should be experienced with the language before trying to make something as complicated as a discord bot
you can use almost any programming language, it comes down to preference
slender thistle
Well, to each their own 
hasty dust
yea, I undertand not going straight to bots, but my friend says to never use python for bots
which im kind of confused about
fiery quest
im using python 3, and i love it @hasty dust
slender thistle
Well, I can't say Python is bad for DIscord bots
I use it myself and it's pretty good
mossy vine
i personally wouldnt use python because of the different python and discord.py versions that exist, it can cause confusions
slender thistle
Not to be rude, but your friend probably doesn't know what "preferences" are :^)
hasty dust
@wide ruin said that so you can ask him
fiery quest
@mossy vine yep, that's one defect
hasty dust
he's online right now
slender thistle
That name is awfully familiar
hasty dust
lol
wide ruin
eggs hasnt done a lot of python or javascript at this point, so thats why i said js
hasty dust
but isnt it preference?
mossy vine
it is
slender thistle
Exactly
mossy vine
it doesnt matter what language you use, all libraries have 100% coverage of the discord api
slender thistle
JavaScript*
hasty dust
yea
slender thistle
Java and JavaScript are not the same
mossy vine
java and javascript are like ham and hamster, completely different things
hasty dust
im guessing they each have thier own pros and cons?
wide ruin
vegans only like one
slender thistle
Yeah
mossy vine
yep. but again, all comes down to preference
wide ruin
i mean if youve not done a lot of py, decorators and async can be a bit hard
hasty dust
so.. should I learn one and go to the other?
slender thistle
That's up to you, honestly
You could go with JS and later move to languages like C#
hasty dust
yea, I was planning originally with python, then going to C++ or something
slender thistle
The difference between them is significant
If you wanna go for C++ later, I suggest JS
hasty dust
ok
wide ruin
what are the c languages good for?
hasty dust
Later, way later down the road, I'd maybe be interested in.. AI?
