possibly

#

so would javascript

#

and C

mossy vine Mar 3, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

tl;dr: your first language doesnt matter. what does matter is what you want to do with programming after your first language (web development, software development, data analysis, machine learning, etc)

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:23 PM

be a good idea

i have another question, i tried to set servers counter on my bot and i'm using this code rn, do you know why it doesnt work?

class DiscordBotsOrgAPI:

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.token = 'MY_TOKEN'
        self.dblpy = dbl.Client(self.bot, self.token)
        self.bot.loop.create_task(self.update_stats())

    async def update_stats(self):

        while True:
            logger.info('attempting to post server count')
            try:
                await self.dblpy.post_server_count()
                logger.info('posted server count ({})'.format(len(self.bot.guilds)))
            except Exception as e:
                logger.exception('Failed to post server count\n{}: {}'.format(type(e).__name__, e))
            await asyncio.sleep(1800)

def setup(bot):
    global logger
    logger = logging.getLogger('bot')
    bot.add_cog(DiscordBotsOrgAPI(bot))

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

yea, @mossy vine im interested in probably AI, and making a career out of it

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

@wide ruin afaik, C++, for example, is language with the most performance

wide ruin Mar 3, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

what do you use it for?

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

@fiery quest Any Errors?

wide ruin Mar 3, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

is it more games and stuff

fiery quest Mar 3, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

nope, works fine the program

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

Yeah, C++ is widely used in videogames, I believe

fiery quest Mar 3, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

but it doesnt show the server counters on discord bot page, still N/A

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

so... if I wanted to possibly use AI, or make video games, or something like that, would it make sense to go to java script, or python?

earnest phoenix Mar 3, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

c++ is extremely lowlevel, don't take it as your first language

wide ruin Mar 3, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

i mean you could use a bot to collect data

#

making sure the servers have accepted this

mossy vine Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

c is mostly for understanding how programming works at the low level. once you understand c concepts, you understand almost anything
C++ is used regularly on the backend when organizations are sufficiently large enough to justify investment in both horizontal-scaling and vertical-scaling.
C# is mostly associated with game development, mostly unity

wide ruin Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

because the gdpr are a thing

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

@fiery quest I would honestly recommend doing manual HTTP requests with aiohttp instead

#

dblpy is outdated

fiery quest Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

@slender thistle so what can i do?

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

python or java script then?

mossy vine Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

again, your first language DOESNT MATTER

#

you can go with anything

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

ok

wide ruin Mar 3, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

that said js if you want to c# later, but still up to you

earnest phoenix Mar 3, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

check out python's and javascript's syntax and pick whatever suits you more

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

I'll got wiith javascript then

#

any good tutorialsÉ

earnest phoenix Mar 3, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

js and c# share some aspects but that's strictly with keywords, how they function is nowhere near the same

mossy vine Mar 3, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

there are great javascript resources pinned in this channel

#

i also reccommend w3schools.com and sololearn.com

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

Look up some aiohttp examples and/or read the docs for it (if you don't know how to use it) and send an API request to DBL @fiery quest

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

thanks guys!

#

appreciate the help

fiery quest Mar 3, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

ok, so using the following link : https://discordbots.org/api i'll send a header content my api token, right? @slender thistle

#

obv with /bots/botid/stats, i think

#

at the end

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

Yep, but replace botid with your bot ID

fiery quest Mar 3, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

yesyes

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

And also add 'Authorization': 'application/json' in your header

fiery quest Mar 3, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

oh, ok, so after that i could be able to see servers counter on my html page right?

#

should*

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

Should be able to

earnest phoenix Mar 3, 2019, 7:33 PM

And also add 'Authorization': 'application/json' in your header

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

Oh, whoops

#

Auth will be DBL token

#

When was the last time I worked with headers, I wonder bcStandingCat

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

@slender thistle @mossy vine Where should I write my code then, I hard visual studio code is good

slender thistle Mar 3, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

I mean, you could go with Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code

mossy vine Mar 3, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

i personally reccommend visual studio code. its lightweight, has many extensions, and is customizable to your liking

amber fractal Mar 3, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

or literally anything that you want

mossy vine Mar 3, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

first you should download the tools required to use the language you chose

hasty dust Mar 3, 2019, 7:38 PM

I already got vs code on here, so I ll just use that

Hi

#

what :d

split hazel Mar 3, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

How does the bot see default discord emotes?

#

I tried to blacklist every emote that starts with :point as people overuse it.
so i did if(message.content.toLowerCase().includes(":point"))
The actual :point gets deleted but not in emote form

#

aka 👆

amber fractal Mar 3, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

I'm pretty sure it just sees them as regular emojis

quartz kindle Mar 3, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

try console.logging them

inner jewel Mar 3, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

it seems them as unicode

earnest phoenix Mar 3, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

So set for each emote id

#

#

Oh no id😂

How can I make it so when I shut down my bot since i'm developing it via local host it will tell the chat the bot has been shut off?

Could someone teach me how to customize my "page" in dbl?

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

is it healthy for an sqlite database to be spammed with SELECT 3 times at once, lets say, when the user joins some server?

I think sqlite databases can handle up to some 30000 interactions or something like that at once

#

@ruby dust

ruby dust Mar 4, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

all I'm aware of is that sqlite tends to lock up when you try to commit too frequently, which is why I'm asking if that'd be an issue if I do anything that fast without committing

that's still quite vague to me, does this mean they can't commit at once or just doing any general writing?

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

I think sqlite pools does some funky stuff to allow more than one write, havent looked into it completely tho

inner jewel Mar 4, 2019, 3:27 PM

3 selects at once are nothing

if they only use primary key it's even more insignificant

How do I create a permission level system? like, if I add permissionlv: 10 in the end of a command i want it to only allow the people in a json array

#

oh

#

I've fixed the json array thing, but idk how to make the level thing

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

@earnest phoenix store their permission level somewhere

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

how do i fix that then

#

also it's not even messaging

inner jewel Mar 4, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

user: a
bot: I am HakPak...
bot (triggered by it's own message): I am HakPak...
bot (triggered by it's own message): I am HakPak...
bot (triggered by it's own message): I am HakPak...
...```

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

in a json @amber fractal

#

if they arent in the json, they dont have that permission level

#

oh

#

but not even one message sends

inner jewel Mar 4, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

oh

#

console.log(Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!);

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

In the json, make the perms the number as the key

inner jewel Mar 4, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

you need to make it a string

#

that's invalid js

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

oh

#

hm

#

so owner ID is 10, admin ID is 9 etc

#

instead of oID and aID

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

Let me make an example

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

ok

Wait, so what's making it loop

slim heart Mar 4, 2019, 3:33 PM

the bot responds to its own message

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:33 PM

Help i'm just getting pinged over and over again now please help

so how do you do it

slim heart Mar 4, 2019, 3:34 PM

you can just return; if the message author is a bot

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:34 PM

<User>.bot is a boolean for whether the user is a bot use that and just stop if it is

dont create a discord bot while you learn

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 3:35 PM

ruby dust Mar 4, 2019, 3:36 PM

it's the mistake that everyone makes, you think you are capable of making a bot right away but when you get better you start to regret it, or at least that's what happened with me

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

{
  "token" : "töken",
  "prefix" : "-",

  "bServers" : [],
  "bUsers" : []
}

#

when you come to this channel it is expected of you to know the language you are working with

otherwise its very important to take a step back, learn the knowledge you lack and then continue making a project

#

thats my config.json

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Oh wait

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:36 PM

i want it to read from the json

so yeah, we have to gamble and go big

#

thats irrelevant to what we are telling you

#

i understand

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

You can just check if their id matches any of them in the array for the permission that you want them to have

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

yeah

#

i know that

#

but i want to be lazy

grim aspen Mar 4, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

look in #starboard -_-

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

and just add permissionlv: 1 in the end of the command file

#

or something like that

#

like this

#

exports.run = async (client, message, args) => { // eslint-disable-line no-unused-vars
  const msg = await message.channel.send("Pinging..");
  msg.edit(`Pong! ${msg.createdTimestamp - message.createdTimestamp}ms`);

this is a little example

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

hm

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

one easy way to do it is
exports.perms = 3
then get the command if you save it in map like const cmd = commands.get(command)
if (cmd.perms === 3) // check if user have perms

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

thats my goal

#

but im too retarded

#

idk how

#

i suck with SQL, maps and stuff like that

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

its not even that hard

topaz fjord Mar 4, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

Then learn them

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

its same as exports.run

#

but you change the run into a property instead of a function

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

yeah

#

idk how

#

xd

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

you dont know how to change exports.run to exports.perms ?

#

you may want to learn about exports more fi thats the case

#

its literally just adding a property

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

hm

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

// command
exports.run = async () => {};
exports.perms = "KICK_MEMBERS"
//  command handler
const cmd = commands.get(command)
if (cmd.perms) {
  if (!msg.member.hasPermission(cmd.perms)) return
}

if you cant understand this simple snippet, I even used the actual perms as a variable, then I advice you stop trying to do it, and read more about module.exports

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

sorry, but thats not the kind of permissions im talking about

inner jewel Mar 4, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

same logic

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

hm

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

same logic but simpler

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

OH

#

exports.perms = config.admins.includes(message.author.id)?

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

that would return a boolean

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

if(exports.perms = true) {
command
}

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

// command
exports.run = async () => {};
exports.perms = "BOT_OWNER"
//  command handler
const cmd = commands.get(command)
if (cmd.perms) {
  if (cmd.perms === "BOT_OWNER") {
    if (!config.admins.includes(msg.author.id)) return
  }
}

this is a much more simpler approach and more better in long run

#

that would work but on owner commands only

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

what if I want to add admins to the bot

#

that's basically why I want to add this

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

then add the admins on the array of your config.admins

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

i did that

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

didnt you understand what you coded?

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

i did

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

config.admins is an array of your admins since I saw you used .includes

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

yeah

#

i know that

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

so BOT_OWNER is the perm "variable" of the command

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

yeah

#

but I think that IDs are better for some reason

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

DoubleFacepalm

#

That checks ID oh my goodness

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

wait

#

so

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

"BOT_OWNER" is just a variable to instruct the command handler to look for config.admins DoubleFacepalm

#

read the code pls

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

BOT_OWNER is the owners ID, but I want to use IDs in case I get falsely banned from discord again

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

ahhhh no no no

#

you still check for msg.author.id AT config.admins DoubleFacepalm

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

yeah

#

i know that

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

no you dont know since BOT_OWNER is just a string

#

you wont put id there

#

its just BOT_OWNER

#

then when you get the command from cache

#

the command handler will check if command.perms or exports.perms exists

#

if it do exists check what it contains

#

if it contains BOT_OWNER, check if the msg.author.id is included in the array of config.admins

#

thats how simple it is DoubleFacepalm

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

hm

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

add a exports.perms = "something" on your command
then on your command handler, use console.log() to log what is the variable of the command

#

that would help you understand better

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

anyone know if its possible to log in a bot in a user account instead of as a bot?

sinful lotus Mar 4, 2019, 4:11 PM

when using guildmemberadd, is it message.guild.id that is the guild ID?

#

there is no such thing as message in the params of the guildmemberadd

#

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/Client?scrollTo=e-guildMemberAdd

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

As a beginner, maybe. But you should define the prefix in a seperate variable

What is the difference between const, let, and var? I know they are all for variables and that const variables can’t be changed. So I guess just what’s the difference between var and let?

var is function scoped, let is lexically scoped

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

I made a working blacklist, but how do I make so that when they join the support server, they get the Blacklisted role?

#

The Blacklisted role shows a channel to appeal for your blacklist

#

So this is needed

late hill Mar 4, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

Listen for member joins

#

If it's in your server

#

Assign the role

#

if they are on the list ofc

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

Yeah

#

But it doesn't give the role for some reason

#

  if(member.guild.id == "548841765424070656") {
    member.addRole(member.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "eveREEone"));

    if(config.bUsers.includes(member.id)) {
      member.addRole(member.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "Blacklisted"));
    }
  }

#

Also using an ID is easier but I forgot how

late hill Mar 4, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

I think addRole accepts role id's as arg

#

And maybe not roles

#

So preferably you should change it to member.addRole(whateverTheIdOfTheRoleIs)

#

But just adding .id to your role search should also work

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Hm

#

so i should change member.addrole(member.guild.roles Etc) to addrole("id")

late hill Mar 4, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

Replace these member.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "eveREEone")

#

With just the id of the role

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

With id

#

Ok

late hill Mar 4, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

As a string

crimson gull Mar 4, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

member.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "eveREEone").id would work as well.

amber fractal Mar 4, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

It takes a role resolvable, so a role or id

#

So that should work.

late hill Mar 4, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

I guess that would depend on the library

#

Which is why I said maybe

idk how to install get

or how to check

#

If you're not sure how to install git it's a safe bet you don't have it installed

#

Also what python module are you trying to install? If you're just trying to install the discord.py module you should just be able to run pip install discord.py

slender thistle Mar 4, 2019, 11:54 PM

I shall intervene and say no

earnest phoenix Mar 4, 2019, 11:54 PM

Don't do that

My bad

Compare message content to message author mention

copper cradle Mar 5, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

ok

slender thistle Mar 5, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

Unless you mean if they mention themselves while using a command

copper cradle Mar 5, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

yeah

slender thistle Mar 5, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

In which case I would think you will need to split message content, iterate through the list/array it gives you and compare its elements to message author mention

#

Or just check if message content includes message author mention

#

See which one will be good for use in your case

copper cradle Mar 5, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

ok

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

I put css in my long description for the part the long description is is but it stayed white

#

Even woth important

#

So I gave up

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

What's a good way to profit from developing bots without it being too much and turning users away?

#

I honestly don't care that much about profit, I just want something.

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

make it good

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

Idk if most people would pay anyways, theres tons of free bots that probably could tend to their needs. However, it really depends on your skills and what they want

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

and worth to support for

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

So donations then?

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

yes possibly

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

A lot of devs have a patreon

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

And yeah I do make quality stuff. I care about every detail.

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

But do your users think the same?

#

It doesnt matter what the dev thinks, the users have more say or they wouldnt use your bots. Seems like democracy at it's best mmLol

#

Honestly tho, patreon can be good

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

I mean I'm here to get feedback. I know what devs say doesn't matter but I'm looking for options.

#

Patreon seems good, but how to incorporate it in a bot? Premium features and stuff?

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

tbh no matter how good the bot

#

they will still kick it

#

so all you can do is

#

make it as great as you can

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

I'm not talking about making it a paid bot nepyay

#

Just with something to not make it a waste of time

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:52 AM

#

that applies to non paiid and donations

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:52 AM

#

And here I am coding for fun

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

I do code for fun as well

#

All my previous bots were for fun

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

but tbh I feel I just create my bot on my own preference

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

But then I thought I'd at least gain something from developing new bots

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

and users do like it

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

I don't think users would care to donate

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

You'd be surprised

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:54 AM

#

Really?

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:54 AM

#

Well if your community isnt terrible

#

Not that not donating makes them terrible

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:54 AM

#

I mean maybe at least with patreon, not traditional donations, just to acknowledge them

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 4:55 AM

#

If it's a bigger bot, you could list their server or something.

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:56 AM

#

tbh Im nearly 40k and I only have 6 patreons

#

and my bot isnt locked by donations

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 4:56 AM

#

Tbh currently I'm thinking about a very simple bot that I don't think it's worth making premium features and stuff

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 4:56 AM

#

users would donate if they seem feel the bot is worth it

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 5:00 AM

#

I'm going with donations but I feel I need to have patreon to give users who support special stuff

#

Yeah I thought about it. No premium features at all, just patreon role in the support server, and maybe also showing it beside the user's name when they do stuff using my bot.

#

Thanks for the discussion.

lilac geyser Mar 5, 2019, 7:28 AM

Is there a global manage permissions thing

#

global = for the whole server

#

if not, besides administrator and giving manage permissions for that channel, is there another way to do it?

#

i just mean that is there a permission that will override and enable manage permissions for all channels besides administrator

late hill Mar 5, 2019, 7:51 AM

#

No

#

Why not just give them manage messages then what

#

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 11:54 AM

It tells you exactly what i would

but with the path

#

Im sure it tells you where

amber fractal Mar 5, 2019, 11:54 AM

Somewhere you make a request to guilds

carmine echo Mar 5, 2019, 11:54 AM

#

life tip: .catch() things

even you catch that you need to track that request

for example if it's a ban, always check if the member is bannable

#

or manageable

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 11:55 AM

All the request I do has a permissions check

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 11:56 AM

and catch() everything you can

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 11:56 AM

#

I have that issues as well and I cant track where are those from

#

so even you ask here, it would be hard to pinpoint where exactly in code

#

thats just how it is

#

but in path

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

Ok thanks @sinful lotus

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

it says where it is

#

what kind I mean

#

path: '/api/v7/guilds/<serverid>/channels', this tells you that you are accessing somewhat a channel

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

I thnk the path is weird

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

you gotta skim and find what part of code you access a channel

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 11:58 AM

#

XD thats the point my bots main function is something with channels

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 11:59 AM

@sinful lotus This is the check I do before accessing the channels

if (!message.guild.me.hasPermission("ADMINISTRATOR") && !message.guild.me.hasPermission(["MANAGE_CHANNELS", "VIEW_CHANNEL", "SEND_MESSAGES", "EMBED_LINKS", "CONNECT"])) {
    return message.reply(client.strings.noBotPermissions);
};

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:04 PM

#

you return message.reply

#

it means you will still send a message even the bot has no perms on it heheheh

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:04 PM

#

I check that in the message event LOL

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:04 PM

#

yes but you return message.reply

#

it means the bot will try to send the message on that channel

#

even it has no perms

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:05 PM

#

But not if i dont have SEND_MESSAGES

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:05 PM

#

not really

#

you confused your own

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:06 PM

#

if (!message.channel.permissionsFor(client.user.id).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
    return;
};

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:06 PM

#

it says

if (!message.guild.me.hasPermission("ADMINISTRATOR") && !message.guild.me.hasPermission(["MANAGE_CHANNELS", "VIEW_CHANNEL", "SEND_MESSAGES", "EMBED_LINKS", "CONNECT"]))

when you have no perms that you specified in this channel

{
    return message.reply(client.strings.noBotPermissions);
};

do this

jagged birch Mar 5, 2019, 12:06 PM

#

Your code is saying if you don’t have any permissions send a message, it can’t if it has no perms

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:06 PM

#

so what is the point of checking for perms

#

if you send a message even it has no perms to send it?

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:07 PM

#

Because I check before if I can send a message

marble needle Mar 5, 2019, 12:07 PM

#

read your code and try to understand what you did

jagged birch Mar 5, 2019, 12:07 PM

#

Dude

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:07 PM

#

I already explained the code you sent step by step

#

I will explain it in more newbie way

marble needle Mar 5, 2019, 12:07 PM

#

you are checking if you do not have the permission to send a message. if said check returns true you try to send a message

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

message.reply() is msg.channel.send()

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

I think you guys don't understand

jagged birch Mar 5, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

We understand, you don’t.

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

Zixe are you saying you’re checking SEND_MESSAGES in two separate if statements

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

thats a more better way of doing that

#

one liner and effective

marble needle Mar 5, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

the absence of semicolons triggers me :>

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

I removed it at the rewrite

#

I use semicolons before

#

but now I just use it when compiler dont understand what I want

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

First someone types something (message event trigger)
Message event checks if the bot can send messages.
Then my commend triggers
Then the bot checks if he has permissions the do the thinks in de command if not send no permissions

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

then it makes no sense to check again for SEND MESSAGE for the second line

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

^

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:10 PM

#

@robust breach no I check it ones

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

you check for send message the first time

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

No sorry 2

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

you just said it checks twice

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

then check it again

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

thats a error

#

but

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

change your perm checking into something more "readable"

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

that don't checking anythink

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

then it’s one of the other perms you aren’t checking for

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

as well there are numeorous events

#

it could not be triggering at message but also in other events

#

or some module u created

#

a lot of factors play on that

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:12 PM

#

I also check in events for permissions if needed

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:12 PM

#

yes but based on what I think on what you sent

#

its not impossible you did something wrong

#

you even check SEND_MESSAGE twice

#

thats what makes me think something is wrong even the error tell that

#

so double check

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:14 PM

#

@rotund ferry you’re probably doing something before the permissions check that is erroring it

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:14 PM

#

thats a factor too

#

thats why double check

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

I can tell you why the double check, in discord you can overwrite perms in chennels.
The first check in for the channel where the command in send and the second is global.

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

huh

#

how is that related to what we’re telling u

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

Thats the why I double check for send permissions

I mean no offense but

if (!message.guild.me.hasPermission("ADMINISTRATOR") && !message.guild.me.hasPermission(["MANAGE_CHANNELS", "VIEW_CHANNEL", "SEND_MESSAGES", "EMBED_LINKS", "CONNECT"])) {
    return message.reply(client.strings.noBotPermissions);
};

if this is your global

if (!message.channel.permissionsFor(client.user.id).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
    return;
};

and this is what is in your command

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

The first is channel based and second is server based

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

but thats useless if you can just return on global 👀

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

O my god did you read what i'm typing

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

you said one is channel 2nd is server based

#

the global is useless

#

channel overrides everything

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

The first code is in aa command end the second is in the message event

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

its better to check for channel than global for send messages, embed, and other stuff

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:20 PM

#

I dont and I will check it

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:20 PM

#

as well you are creating a lot of not needed lines which will make the maintenance more hard

#

most likely you are facing that issue due to that as well

#

my advice is

#

use channel based permission checker instead of msg.guild.me.hasPermission

#

as well you dont need to create lots of

if (!message.channel.permissionsFor(client.user.id).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
    return;
};

#

just put that on the beginning of your message event

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:22 PM

#

I only have one in the message event

#

and it's @ the start

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:23 PM

#

yes but the second stuff you gave which is the admin blabla doesnt make any sense since you also check for send_message there which is idk why you did that. so I would advice to rewrite your code a bit

#

its you who will have the hardtime not us

#

if you dont rewrite it a bit

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

I know that and thanks for telling

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

Zixe if you’re only checking for SEND_MESSAGES and you’re erroring it’s definitely because you aren’t checking for the permission required before doing something

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

embeds also needs perms just incase you wonder

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

you’re checking for perms in two separate spots but you’re only checking for send_messages at the beginning

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

I know embeds need permissions

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

ok what permission?

#

to double check if you really know

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

EMBED_LINKS

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:26 PM

#

ok good but you dont check it on the beginning

#

if you send embeds that could be "one" of the issue

#

so just run a quick view on all your code because that kind of errors will not show you a stack trace of where in code

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

Not thats not in I already checked

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

your code wont throw error

#

if you check properly

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

why don’t you check for every perm you require at the beginning of the message event

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

but the point is it throws error

#

so you are saying you are right and the code have loose screw on its own?

#

if it throws error it means theres something wrong

#

it wont throw error for no reason

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

@robust breach Because My bot doesn't need al the permissons if I just won't the send a message

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

and what I meant by quick view not only on message event

#

check the whole code

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:31 PM

#

But thanks for the info and I will check all the permissions checks and if the error is still there then I will come back here

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

to make it quick, if it still errors then you still missed a perm

#

because that will really not throw error if it will not execute something that it doesnt have the perms to do so

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

If i look at the error message I has to be a permissions problem

#

Yes I know but thats the think I don't understand my bot is in 550+ server and the bot works fine but the error will only happens on some new server (rarely)

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:38 PM

#

My bot errors when somebody takes perms away from it having already used a command and tries to click one of the reactions

#

could be something ridiculous like that

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

Yes I was thinking I that can happens

#

Because maybe it's that

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

if it’s not 100% reproducible on your end it might be something like that

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

Still I'm gonna rebuild the permissions checks

robust breach Mar 5, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

viral spade Mar 5, 2019, 12:48 PM

what permission do i need to be able to assign roles to members? i have the manage_roles but it seems to only let me create or edit a role, not assign.

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 12:49 PM

#

manage_roles does that

#

unless your bot is lower than role u want to assign

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:49 PM

viral spade Mar 5, 2019, 12:53 PM

rotund ferry Mar 5, 2019, 12:55 PM

Yes you can check that

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

how do i start with sqlite? do i do const bDB = new sqlite3(CREATE NEW TABLE IF NOT EXISTS blacklist (id INTEGER, author INTEGER)?

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

Im not that proficient on sqlite but the docs can help you a lot

#

well if you can understand java a bit then wait a sec

#

first of all you create a table if it doesnt exists, so after you create one thats when you modify it

#

for ease of access you can download an sqlite program of some sort

#

and add the tables and just modify it

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

hm

sinful lotus Mar 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

let me just look if I still have that program

#

https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/ basically grab this one

Downloads - DB Browser for SQLite

#

then after that all you need to do is to use the statement as shown here to update the parameters of the db

#

guild_id and prefix are the rows if Im correct in my db

it would look like this if it successfully set

Yeah just follow a tutorial

#

SQLite is very easy

uneven wren Mar 5, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

@earnest phoenix

Put these two lines at the beginning of your code

sql.open("./database.sqlite");```

Put this when a user types something

```sql.get(`SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE userId ="${msg.author.id}"`).then(row => { 
    if (!row) 
      {
  sql.run("INSERT INTO tablename (userId, item1, item2) VALUES (?, ?, ?)", [msg.author.id, 0, 0]);
      } 
  }).catch(() => {
    console.error;
    sql.run("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tablename (userId TEXT, item1 INTEGER, item2 INTEGER)").then(() => {
 sql.run("INSERT INTO tablename (userId, item1, item2) VALUES (?, ?, ?)", [msg.author.id, 0, 0]);
    });  
    });

You do not have to create a sql file, the code will create it for you as long as there are write permissions on the folder location

#

This is literally the most confusing sql syntax you will (probably) have to use in your code, it gets easy once its set up

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

the only reason im using sql is to make a blacklist system for servers and users

uneven wren Mar 5, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

ok so change msg.author.id to whatever you need to use for guilds

#

obviously you can add or subtract as many items to the db as needed. This code inserts 3

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

hm

#

ok is it better to use json like i do now? As long as I can add users and servers to blacklist

#

https://geedees.succ.world/i/hg51.png

uneven wren Mar 5, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

so you'll want to do something more like this

sql.run("INSERT INTO guildblacklist (guildid, blacklisted) VALUES (?, ?)", [${administrator_inputted_text}, 0]);

where administrator_insterted_text is the guildid that you would have input

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

hm

uneven wren Mar 5, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

the problem with json is that it can crash and fail, and delete itself

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

oh

uneven wren Mar 5, 2019, 3:58 PM

all it takes is two data changes going through at the same time

earnest phoenix Mar 5, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

o

uneven wren Mar 5, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

json is fine if you're the only one manually changing stuff, but if it's a public bot and many people get to use a command that will change data in the json, there's a possibility your bot will crash and you'll lose all the data in the json

#

If you're the only one working with the blacklist you can even cheese and just hardcode the guildid's manually into an array

Just looking for a bit of advice. My bot just got rejected for not sending a response after the initial setup command. Now it 100% does because I've just tested it in 4 other servers. My assumption is that the channel where the command was called the bot didn't have permission to reply there.
How would you guys get round this?
Check permissions on channel and then reply in DM, reply in first writable channel or change the permissions on the bot invite?

late hill Mar 5, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

I'd imagine that they know what they're doing and their testing server would allow your bot to send messages

#

But if this does occur it would probably be best to DM

simple flint Mar 5, 2019, 5:42 PM

yea I would of thought so too but I can't get any feedback, logs show it tried to send a message and I can't reproduce it
