I've got it all segmented into different js files
#development
analog basin
analog basin
ok it'll take a while to find all the pieces though
mossy vine
One command is in multiple files?
analog basin
it's kind of difficult to explain, but yeah it is
mossy vine
Okay, then just send the code that determines the roll result
analog basin
html: function(isEvent, data) {
return <div> <div style="float: left; width: 45%;"> Minimum Range:<br> <input id="min" class="round" type="text"><br> </div> <div style="padding-left: 5%; float: left; width: 50%;"> Maximum Range:<br> <input id="max" class="round" type="text"><br> </div> </div><br><br><br> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="float: left; width: 35%;"> Store In:<br> <select id="storage" class="round"> ${data.variables[1]} </select> </div> <div id="varNameContainer" style="float: right; width: 60%;"> Variable Name:<br> <input id="varName" class="round" type="text"> </div> </div>
},
I think this is what you're after?
mossy vine
Can you format it in a codeblock?
analog basin
right
mossy vine
And uhh no
mossy vine
Wait if its a bot why are you writing html?
analog basin
truth be told I have a program where I put in the logic and it outputs the commands into code
thats why I dunno which files have the code in them
mossy vine
Discord bot maker?
analog basin
yeah pretty much
mossy vine
Yeah dont use that
analog basin
I ain't too good with java, I only know a teeny bot of html
it picks a number between one and [whatever the user wrote] and if it's not a number it outputs [NaN]. If the number equals [NaN] it instead sends an error mesasage. problem is I can't get it to detect [NaN] because NaN isn't the actual name of the output value apparently
@earnest phoenix easier said than done lol
dooes anyone know what NaN is called?
mossy vine
@analog basin NaN means Not a Number
analog basin
yeah I know
but when the number outputted equals NaN it's supposed to redirect to an error message
but it's not redirecting, meaning the output isnt equal to NaN
which I can only interpret as NaN not being the actual value for NaN
so does no one know?
analog basin
oh yeah also I can't do this manually because my CMD doesnt execute commands properly, thats the main reason I'm using an external program
if anyone knows what "NaN" or basically an unknown number value is refered to as an output that'd solve my problem
analog basin
weird
quartz kindle
analog basin
I'll try false then
quartz kindle
quartz kindle
what else can you chose in comparison type?
quartz kindle
try exists
analog basin
oh ok I'll do that
no cigar
it rubs me the wrong way it says "Value to COMPARE to"
quartz kindle
you'd have to use exists after the math tho, because if you're checking before, it will be before a NaN is obtained
else you can use regex to rule out non-numbers
analog basin
oh! thanks! I'll remember that because I was actually wandering how it calculated that. I guess it TECHNICALLY isnt higher 😄
wait, does that mean it's not lower either? 🤔
gleaming tulip
NaN is not a number
quartz kindle
its not a number, therefore its not bigger than 0, it is also not smaller than 0, it is also not equal to 0
analog basin
ok cool. this has all been VERY insightful
quartz kindle
welcome to javascript's weirdness
inner jewel
this isn't javascript
it's IEEE774
aka the standard that defines floating point numbers we use
quartz kindle
oh, alright
would a strong typed language still let you compare non numbers to numbers and do math that ends up in NaNs?
analog basin
well a round of applause to tim for solving this predicament 👏
analog basin
a weird quirk I found is if you roll for like 999999999999999999999999999999999 etc you can roll a "infinite" which shouldn't be possible so I'm putting a limit on it lol
mossy vine
Huh
gleaming tulip
-Infinity is also a thing
you get an Infinity result when dividing a number by zero
quartz kindle
Infinity + or * Infinity = Infinity
Infinity - or / Infinity = NaN
earnest phoenix
"javascript best lang"
inner jewel
again, that's IEEE774
you could write equivalent math in assembly and you'd get the same result
analog basin
this isn't a script thing, but can discord bots get nitro features? I assume not right? I've never seen a bot with a gif pfp.
earnest phoenix
no, they own some features by default though
analog basin
oh? which ones?
earnest phoenix
iirc cross server custom emojis
they had gif avatars for a short period but it quickly got removed because storage saving
analog basin
woah ok so I can have custom emojis for my bot? Given my bots a hot dog I don't have a use for that, but thats really cool to know.
wait whats the website with all the custom emojis on it?
wait no I'll just google it
https://dunkey.cease-and-desisted.me/i/kdhu.jpg
Thanks to you guys the bot's working perfectly
hey real quick can a bot change an admins username?
I know it can't change the owners nickname.
or atleast I don't think it can
frail terrace
has to be lower in hierarchy
analog basin
so it can change admins, just not the owner, provided the Bot has top role?
frail terrace
think so
analog basin
cool I got someone to test it, youre right

echo pasture
but there is a small problem
how to host a bot on them i mean i should upload hes files or what
mossy vine
yes
exactly
or do what i did
set up a private git repo
and pull from it on your server
echo pasture
didnt understand is there a tutorial that you guys folllowed or what
https://amazonlightsail.com/ what about this
i mean i should upload my files on AWS or it host from my pc ? ?
quartz kindle
google has a free vps for 12 months
i highly recommend it
but if you want to start off with a paid one, i head good stuff about galaxy gate, apparently many bots are using it
amazon has a free for 12 months one also
scarlet phoenix
I used Ovh's $3.50 vps way back when. It was good specs for the price. 2gb ram, 20gb storage, 1vcpu
echo pasture
@scarlet phoenix hey sorry for disturbing you
but
can you tell me how you hosted your bot on Ovh ? i mean what you did ?
did you followed a tutorial or what ? please tell me ;-;
echo pasture
well nop idk what is linux
quartz kindle
an operating system
rival of windows and mac
what language and library are you using?
scarlet phoenix
Like tim said, the ovh vps is just a computer running linux. Its like mac os (except no desktop, terminal only) if you have used that.
So depending on what language you use, you will run it through the command line
If you do get an OVH vps they will give you an option of Operating system. Go with Ubuntu, it is just the easiest for a beginner
warm wigeon
Does anyone why my bot goes offline after X minutes? Im hosting it with Glitch, and I keep trying to keep it online but it won't work.
warm wigeon
it used to work 24/7 and its the only free solution...
But i edited some code and now it just goes offline
grim aspen
use uptime robot if i'm not mistakened
warm wigeon
i did
scarlet phoenix
My guess is that (and I have never used glitch) in order to keep this free model they spin you down if its not active.
My reccomendation, spend the <$5 a month for a vps
mossy vine
yes, thats why people use uptimerobot. to bypass that
grim aspen
it's not really recommended
amber fractal
Glitch to patch uptime robots when
grim aspen
you're better off with a vps iaf
scarlet phoenix
Could you just keep a separate thread going and doing something pointless? Or if they look for network activity, just keep sending random get requests or soemthing
warm wigeon
and im broke 😉
warm wigeon
I can try to do that
Ill make my bot send a message and delete it every X minutes or so
No, it isnt but i dont have any money
naive ingot
Hey is a dbl.errors.Forbidden: Forbidden (status code: 403): {"error":"Forbidden"} due to an incorrect api key?
or can it point to other things
grim aspen
if i'm not mistakened
scarlet phoenix
Idk anything about you, so don't take this the wrong way, but I am guessing you are younger (like still in school) Could you just tell your parents, Hey I have this new hobby where I am coding, its super cool and I might want to make it a career later. I want to be able to do more but I need to put some code on the cloud. Maybe they would fund it 😛
grim aspen
it means that it wanted access to the url it requested
scarlet phoenix
Even if you are lying lol
grim aspen
but it's not allowed to
warm wigeon
my bot is kinda cringy so
scarlet phoenix
They don't have to know what it is
warm wigeon
and yeah um my parents are broke too
earnest phoenix
anyone understands discord.js web panel and API connected?
inner jewel
a web panel is not something simple
earnest phoenix
i know
warm wigeon
is a vps like an online vm?
earnest phoenix
i got it to work
scarlet phoenix
yeah
earnest phoenix
but now i am getting errors when i run an command
grim aspen
it's a virtual private server
scarlet phoenix
Just a vm on some server in a datacenter somewhere
naive ingot
@grim aspen i get that but the only thing that could be the issue is the key right?
earnest phoenix
the logs are broken
it says that log.push is not valid
the push is not a thing
warm wigeon
so you can install vs code in it
scarlet phoenix
well, usually not
They are usually command line only
Or at least come that way
mossy vine
wELL ACTUALLY
scarlet phoenix
you could install a DE and WM and then remote in I guess
warm wigeon
Couldnt you install a desktop if you are on linux?
scarlet phoenix
But most people dont ususally
warm wigeon
Like mate
scarlet phoenix
Most unmanaged ones should
mossy vine
but you can set up something like https://github.com/codercom/code-server
if you really need that IDE
scarlet phoenix
Then just VNC in or something
warm wigeon
sweet ig
scarlet phoenix
I mean for 3.50 a month (as an example) you be on like 2gb of ram and 1 core cpu
So a DE thats not specifically lightweight may be a stretch
Something like LXDE would work fine though
inner jewel
@mossy vine you can run a DE on a vps
mossy vine
a what
grim aspen
what i'm thinking is a server is trying to connect but it's not the right api key, i'd suggest regenerating the api key @naive ingot
inner jewel
desktop environment
inner jewel
but they usually have no gpus
so you'd have to do cpu rendering
which is slow and would eat cpu
mossy vine
can you manually set that up or is it something that is offered?
scarlet phoenix
obligatory just use vim or emacs
mossy vine
obligatory neovim > *
inner jewel
you can set it up
it's just installing stuff
you could even use ssh x11 forwarding
naive ingot
@grim aspen ive tried regenerating multiple times now, still nothing
grim aspen
@quartz kindle can you help me? you know better than i do
it's with this guy's error with dbl api
quartz kindle

Send request manually
scarlet phoenix
^^^
grim aspen
let me look through the do-
analog basin
wait what's the issue?
grim aspen
or that
naive ingot
yeah still 403 with a new token
analog basin
if you're trying to host with a procfile you need to use a capital "Procfile"
grim aspen
wait
naive ingot
any docs on sending it manually
quartz kindle
you're using the dbl token right? not the discord token
naive ingot
yeah the dbl token
grim aspen
did you put your token in the dbl_token part?
naive ingot
yeah
quartz kindle
well, if all else fails, just post it manually using http
scarlet phoenix
time to take the magic out of the internet
Learn how http requests work
what a fun time

I don't suppose theres a value of un empty value is there?
amber fractal
Wym
null?
Undefined?
Idk what you are asking 
Wait unempty value
Ok Ill just stop talking
analog basin
my bad I don't have notifications on
I meant like can I use an empty space to trigger something
I found a way, but it's a little messy
have a passthrough for numbers, and straight after have a passtrough for text, each one will redirect to a branch, if it's not a number or text, then I guess that means it was left blank
I think so anyway 🤔
in my head it makes sense
either that oh they put an image in the command hahaha
also @amber fractal whoops I meant an* haha
https://dunkey.cease-and-desisted.me/i/7825.jpg
my method works atleast
slender thistle
What lib
analog basin
lib?
slender thistle
Discord library you use
slender thistle
DBM is d.js iirc
mossy vine
but the generated code is trash
analog basin
I just selected a random library
the generated code is pretty bad,
but I barely ever look at it
I upload it to github and have heroku run it through a Procfile
but yeah I'm pretty ashamed that I have to get a program to do the writing for me haha
I'm also pretty sure this was just intended for surface level code tbh
quartz kindle
if discord bot maker gives you an empty string when you leave it blank, you can compare with ""
analog basin
ok thanks that makes this way easier
I was actually seeing errors with my route aswell
thanks again tim 😄
perculiar. it definately recognised it, just didn't do anything it was told
really weird. when it reads blank it just stops.
if got it set to read an error message but it doesn't, it just stops what it's doing 🤔
well that's really annoying and somewhat frustrating, but it does register that there's nothing there.
quartz kindle
i dont know how discord bot maker creates the code structure, but in normal programming you would do something like
if(variable && variable > 0) {
// continue
}```if it exists AND is bigger than 0
this rules out empty strings, non-numbers and negative numbers
analog basin
it doesnt help that they cram it into one big block like this lol
ctrl F doesn't work either
quartz kindle
this is not actual code tho
gleaming tulip
you won't see anything there anyway
quartz kindle
its more like an instruction set to be converted into code by the engine
gleaming tulip
yep
analog basin
darn, I know there's a regular command generator but it adds as an action which wouldnt be an issue if my entire code wasn't built up off of "jump to X action"
well no other choice I guess
I have a question
if
// continue
}```
wouldnt that mean just any positive number?yes, it eliminates negative numbers
gleaming tulip
and zero
quartz kindle
and 0 yes
analog basin
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I got it
no that wouldnt work
I was gonna say "if it's not more than zero, and it's not less than 1"
but that would only elimenate numbers
WAIT
I got it for real this time
if it's less than 1 letter long
quartz kindle
thats also an option yes
quartz kindle
yes, but that makes tempVars a function
steel heath
Tim that's already a function in dbm
quartz kindle
oh
analog basin
oh ok cool I was worried
quartz kindle
well i never used dbm so xD
steel heath
there r 3 different types for variable storage thing of dbm
tempVars serverVars and globalVars
quartz kindle
@uneven laurel how do you want to define who goes into which team?
analog basin
my cmd legit won't let me install the discord.io node, even after clearing cache so I guess I have to use DBM
quartz kindle
just create two arrays and loop over each member, if current loop is even, add to one array, if its odd, add to second array
analog basin
I feel like someone here probably knows why my cmd won't work but I already put in like 20 hours of experience into DBM so no use switching away now
earnest phoenix
so i have api calls in my bot but they dont come in in order of code rather than the time from the api response
so what func would delay themessage.channel.send so they send in order
gleaming tulip
you know you can just type cmd in the folder address bar
analog basin
?
gleaming tulip
analog basin
which isnt even a default path so I've clearly done it at some point
gleaming tulip
yeah that works too
analog basin
open cmd here doesnt show up but the cmd in the search bar works
it ALWAYS boots up in Jack though
gleaming tulip
oh for it to open itself on the folder you want you must do it either Tim's or my way or cd into it
analog basin
yeah but then when I reboot its back to jack
analog basin
well who's Jack?
gleaming tulip
hm
analog basin
how do I get it to default at current adress?
analog basin
ok cool this'll probably help
also this may seem unrelated
but how do you make small code blocks?
mine extend to the end
gleaming tulip
`text`
quartz kindle
you mean embeds?
analog basin
I guess

what almeida said
dull bobcat
So, I go to the 8th grade and we are having a programming class after the easter week. My teacher said he was expecting me to know what we are going to make and learn in the class, but when he showed me the code I got a littly confused since he use JavaScript and not NodeJS which is what I write my code in. Literally, he used a function called circle() and it wasn't defined, idrk how it workes with <script> </script> thing but do you guys know if there is a difference in nodejs and the scripts in the html files. He knows I wrote codes and sh!t so he also said that he thinks I'm good enough to helping him teach our class about this but the thing is I'm still in the basics. Also my seconds question that I couldn't find when I googled is about what we are going to make. So... My teacher said we will write a code in javascript and it's like 8 lines of code, and it draws(animates) the Swedens flag, like the yellow stripes are flying cross the screen and the blue rectangles are just wooshing in and created the Swedish flag, do you guys know any tutorial for something like this so I can practice? Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I hope I explained well enough. Sorry if I incorrectly spelled something. :) And please don't say "learn js" since that is just a silly and worthless answer since I provided information about me already trying to learn the very basics in JS and all I asked for was if you guys knew any kind of tutorial for such thing I provided above, because some toxic server have replied with that multiple times and being rude..
gleaming tulip
jesus
analog basin
all of my teachers have been useless at educating me on this
hey guys today well being doing coding
what language
no, coding
mossy vine
@dull bobcat sounds like p5.js, not sure tho
mossy vine
what
analog basin
in html you can have refferels to external files
quartz kindle
javascript can be used inside <script> tags in html
analog basin
a lot of people use css to store formatting
quartz kindle
a browser will have many build in javascript functions, such as for accessing the window, the dom, cookies, etc
including canvas
the same way node has many built in functions, such as require("fs") for accessing the filesystem
the browser doesnt need requiring, since its all included by default
analog basin
this is exactly what I was look for. thanks Almeida
dull bobcat
Well help?
quartz kindle
@dull bobcat i explained to you the basics of browser javascript, do you need help with something specific? like canvas or svg?
you can also do animations with css only
quartz kindle
undefined should be compatible with "exists"
analog basin
I've got a code block that converts the text to a length number, and a second that detects if there's 1 or more letter, if there isn't it's supposed to trigger an error
dull bobcat
@quartz kindle No i can do animations with JS too, thats easy 😄 I just don't know how to create the object
quartz kindle
which object exactly?
analog basin
WOAH IT WORKED NOW! https://dunkey.cease-and-desisted.me/i/y7w5.jpg
quartz kindle
a canvas? an svg? a div to manipulate with css?
analog basin
I might change input as a server variable so I can use this length block universally
lol can't believe how many hours I spent on an empty space error message... who's gonna be dumb enough to try enter a command without a parameter anyway?
dull bobcat
@quartz kindle Lets say i want a circle right, and there is a function called circle which creates a circle no shit 😂 Lets say the circle functions have 3 params, the first two are height and width and then the diameter of the circle
circle(100, 100, 25)
And if to get this circle to anime i simple do this
let x = 100
let y = 100
function animate() {
circle(x++, y++, 25)
}
animate()
believe me, people are
analog basin
haha I actually hope someone does so that the can see what 4 hours labor can accomplish 😆
have you guys tried hosting with Heroku? it's so useful.
quartz kindle
@dull bobcat that still doesnt tell me what hes using. where does the circle function come from?
this is a canvas circle: js var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas"); var ctx = c.getContext("2d"); ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(100, 75, 50, 0, 2 * Math.PI); ctx.stroke();
this is an svg circle js <svg height="100" width="100"> <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" /> Sorry, your browser does not support inline SVG. </svg>
analog basin
it's crazy to think that theres a website that does 100 percent free dedicated server hosting
quartz kindle
its not 100% free, it has limitations, bad performance, etc...
and its not a dedicated hosting, the word dedicated means something else in the hosting context
analog basin
oh my bad
dull bobcat
@quartz kindle Im telling you, i have noo fucking idea since this was exactly his code:
var x
var y
function update() {
circle(100, 100, 25, "red")
x += 1
y += 1
}
Im confused, since where tf is circle defined and the update function is never called either how does this code woooork 😂
quartz kindle
is he using any library?
analog basin
my only complaint is I wish I could change region, an aussie server'd be nice but beggars can't be choosers
grim aspen
what library are you using @dull bobcat
dull bobcat
Read the information i provieded ^
And then you might know that im not the one running the code :))
grim aspen
then who is
quartz kindle
he has to be using something, you have to ask him
circle() and animate() are not native functions
he either defined them, or is using a library
hard tendon
uh hi, using discord.js
code:
and I get an error:
Error: Cannot find module './Storage/coins.json'
any idea why is this happening?
quartz kindle
is this the only file where you require coins.json?
are you sure there is no coins.json in any other file?
hard tendon
yup this is the only one
I just started coding this
never required the package before
file*
vivid mortar
.json
quartz kindle
do you have a folder named Storage?
quartz kindle
i dont see it in the ss lol
quartz kindle
is daily.js being called from another function that resides in Storage?
hard tendon
nah it aint the Storage folder as u can see contains .txt files only
and in this SS I dont have coins.json in the Storage file
but as I write the code in GitHub due to me hosting my bot
I do have it in there
agile edge
Need link of this server
idle basalt
dont use json as a database
also in the screenshots youre requiring coins.json from the same folder
quartz kindle
so in production you actually have coins.json in the Storage folder? but in your local setup you dont?
idle basalt
you probably want ../Storage/coins.json
quartz kindle
because the code you showed is not using the Storage folder, is looking for the json file in the current working folder
but your error says its looking for it inside the Storage folder
hard tendon
yeah the ss is a bit outdated like 10 mins cuz I re=wrote the code
nah @idle basalt got it I needed ../Storage./coins.json
idle basalt
thats what i just said
idle basalt
just saying, use a real database -- not a json file
hard tendon
like?
idle basalt
there are a million of them lol
hard tendon
whats the easiest one to handle
quartz kindle
sqlite is more than enough
idle basalt
probably something local
quartz kindle
but you need to learn a bit of sqlanguage
idle basalt
like keyv
hard tendon
btw tim ty for ur effort
quartz kindle
if you dont want to learn sql, there are many libraries that abstract it for you into something similar to JS maps
idle basalt
a lot of beginners use local storage dbs like lowdb, keyv (with no provider), enmap, quick.db, etc
theyre relatively simple
hard tendon
witch one do ya suggest for me
idle basalt
any of those
keyv is easy since theres a whole section of the official d.js guide on it
quartz kindle
quick.db is an abstraction layer for mysql iirc
enmap uses several databases, depending on which provider you chose
idle basalt
it only uses sqlite now
quartz kindle
ah ok
idle basalt
she updates it like every day reee
quartz kindle
she?
idle basalt
evie
quartz kindle
nice
analog basin
can someone join my server real quick and test out a command I wrote?
quartz kindle

quartz kindle

earnest phoenix
does anyone know a bot that interacts with selly.gg and you can write !order (order-id) and gives that person a rank?
quartz kindle
nope
analog basin
neither
earnest phoenix
Okay Good evening all
Im after a bit of help with regard to uploading my bot to the new bot section
i have tried adding my server description in markdown and html and im getting invalid server format
how do i fix this
quartz kindle
there is no server description, unless you're adding a server
in the "servers your bot is in" you should add the server IDs
analog basin
the command I need tested is
!callme aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
'!callme !callme michaeland then!callme michael` again,
I just need someone to join my test server real quick and copy/paste those in there
please DM me if you've got 30 seconds to spare
idle basalt
or make an alt and use it for testing
analog basin
yeah I guess that'd work if no one else will join
idle basalt
99.9% of people wont be willing to join random peoples servers to test bot features
you can make your own alt account and test it yourself
dusty cipher
@earnest phoenix try to warp ur elements with divs
analog basin
yeah I guess I just figured it'd be a lot easier to just ask someone to copy/paste the written commands
quartz kindle
@dusty cipher that has nothing to do with his problem lol. he said hes getting "invalid server format", which happens if you dont put server IDs
analog basin

which files do I need to update on github with DBM?
earnest phoenix
i dont think anyone here will help with dbm
analog basin
a couple of people here seemed to know a fair bit about it
calm token
Hi I have a little trouble with the ping command to display the latency, could someone give me help?
earnest phoenix
what is your lang and lib
calm token
Js
analog basin
it's a little embarrasing being the only person who uses dbm here, it feels like I'm being looked down upon in the same way a pc gamer looks down upon an xbox gamer
calm token
Discord.js
earnest phoenix
well yeah dbm is a piece of trash and spending money on it is like burning it
analog basin
haha I didn't pay for it
calm token
My bot responds: NaN ms
analog basin
show code
calm token
quartz kindle
put end time - start time in parenthesis
analog basin
ok this'll take a while to load for me cause I got garbage internet
quartz kindle
else you're doing "pong" + endtime first
idle basalt
js is not a smart boye with types
analog basin
oh and tim solves it just like that, he always solves everything in a second flat
it's impressive really
quartz kindle
lmao
idle basalt
well when you dont use dbm maybe youll learn something
99% of the questions asked here have 1 second solutions
analog basin
go away pretentious pc gamer
idle basalt
haha yes
calm token
Thank you very much it works!
quartz kindle
👍
earnest phoenix
more than 60% of questions here can be solved with a google search but the askers iq is usually lower than the percentage of questions
analog basin
I don't think that's accurate
idle basalt
its probably too small of a percentage
earnest phoenix
not to target a specific person forgot to mention
idle basalt
a lot of questions are literally just asking for something thats in the docs for their lib
"how do you delete a message"
analog basin
I'm sure you guys are all super genuises at birth but some of us are new here, and I think this is an excelent learning resource.
mossy vine
dbm
excellent learning resource
choose 1, take it or leave it
analog basin
wow ok I thought I was an xbox gamer but clearly I'm just a mobile gamer
idle basalt
being a noob doesnt mean you cant google your questions or read the docs
mossy vine
mate stop bringing up your epic 🔥 💯 gamer stuff
hushed berry
help why is my iq offline
earnest phoenix
we were all beginners at once, however learning is not asking questions you can google or research yourself. there is quite a difference and using sarcasm to prove otherwise is a stupid contradiction
idle basalt
lmgtfy
analog basin
ok yall seem to think I'm retarded just cause I use a program to help with the scripting -__-\
idle basalt
nobody said that
mossy vine
discord bot maker has a server anyways. why dont you ask your dbm related questions there instead of here, where almost noone uses it
mossy vine
again, i bet that <5% of people here use dbm. they have an official server, why not ask there?
someone will definitely be able to help you there
instead of everyone trying to piece together how the software works
analog basin
ok one of the questions I asked was specifically about DBM.
one of them, which I assumed might be common knowledge with non-beginners
earnest phoenix
i dont think dbm even counts as development
analog basin
AH. there it is
earnest phoenix
its like saying excel scripting is game deving
analog basin
am I not developing a bot
mossy vine
if you are making a game with scratch are you a game developer?
deep and serious philosophical questions right here
quartz kindle
cmon guys
development includes anything that you "develop" regardless of tools
ie: image development in photoshop
gleaming tulip
the topic doesn't say that
analog basin
thank you tim, I'm glad someone agrees with me
guys help this interface is too hard
gleaming tulip
"Channel for chatting about (bot) development"
that's not a dbm thing
did you also know that dbm has support servers etc
gleaming tulip
I see
analog basin
as you can see, I have been asking for support from there
If the question relates specifically about DBM I ask it there, If it's about general bot creation I use here
gleaming tulip
As far as I remember that is not a thing on DBM
unless you are using a cracked version of it
(talking about the screenshot you posted above)
mossy vine
is !=== valid javascript code?
calm token
I do not understand why my bot says the message several times yet in the code everything seems correct to me...
gleaming tulip
!= is the opposite of ==
!== is the opposite of ===
mossy vine
alright thats exactly what i need ,thanks
analog basin
I don't use the program because "javasript is too hard" I use it because it bridges the gaps in my knowledge, I still have to make commands, variables, and such, I can just do it in a format I can understand.
calm token
Yes I am on, the message when the person leaves is good but that of welcome No...
analog basin
that's not to say they're on the same difficulty though, DBM is designed to be user friendly
gleaming tulip
what do you need help with
analog basin
does anyone else here host with github?
analog basin
is this in MS visual studio code?
calm token
Yes why?
analog basin
you're new here right?
calm token
Of course...
analog basin
MS visual studio will pick up on any basic errors after you've saved your file atleast once, so that'd be a good starting point
earnest phoenix
@calm token did you recheck your ids, code seems fine to me
gleaming tulip
Deacon, just ask your question
analog basin
all of my questions are answered
calm token
Yes I check, but it varies sometimes there are 4 or 10 welcome messages
And the software does not detect any errors
earnest phoenix
stop trying to sound smart you literally havent contributed a bit @analog basin
analog basin
@earnest phoenix stop thinking I'm disabled because I use DBM
analog basin
you literally just told me I was "trying to sound smart"
calm token
Ratelimits ?
earnest phoenix
its not saying you are disabled
gleaming tulip
hugo, what exactly is happening there
analog basin
no you're saying I'm clueless -__-\
gleaming tulip
"all of his questions are answered" Peter
calm token
My bot announces the welcome message many times
unique nimbus
o
gleaming tulip
how are you running the bot
analog basin
well the only error I have is I don't know which files to update on github but that's not really crucial
earnest phoenix
hugo ratelimits are basically rules that limit how many of actions can be done within a timespan, they are dynamic but the guideline is 5/5s for bots, meaning you are allowed to send 5 messages within 5 seconds
analog basin
I'll just update all of them
gleaming tulip
Deacon, what you really need to update is the data folder
if you updated mods, upload the actions folder as well
calm token
analog basin
if you have it running on a seperate server then be careful you don't run it from your pc aswell that can cause some confusion haha
gleaming tulip
Hugo, send you message event
analog basin
thanks @gleaming tulip
gleaming tulip
most likely is what is happening, I don't see a reason for it to be spamming welcome messages
gleaming tulip
Hugo, try running a normal command of yours
earnest phoenix
the code doesnt present a loop
gleaming tulip
see if it spams as well or just runs once
calm token
The code is higher in the conversation
earnest phoenix
its maybe subscribing to an event multiple times
gleaming tulip
yeah but that one you posted looks fine here
calm token
Okay wait
earnest phoenix
or you have multiple bot instances running
gleaming tulip
but why would it cry
earnest phoenix
no idea
analog basin
thats what I said
gleaming tulip
either it has multiple instances running, is responding to itself or is looping the event for some reason
earnest phoenix
ive seen people subscribe to an event within an event subscription making it add a handler more each time the parent event fires
calm token
Normal command work very well
gleaming tulip
oh yes
calm token
It's just the welcome message
gleaming tulip
Hugo, do you have the guildMemberAdd event inside another event?
screenshot your code around the guildMemberAdd event
calm token
gleaming tulip
higher up in the code
calm token
The guildMemberAdd is just one time throughout the program
latent willow
it's inside of your message event based on this part
gleaming tulip
same for the guildMemberRemove
latent willow
move the guildmemberadd + guildmemberremove event above the message event
calm token
gleaming tulip
yeah
move the guildMemberAdd & Remove off the message event
else it will run them everytime a message is sent, that's why it is spamming
calm token
Where do I move it?
calm token
like that?
gleaming tulip
no
latent willow
not like this
client.on('message', msg => {
client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
});
});
but like this
client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
// your embed stuff
});
client.on('guildMemberRemove', member => {
// your embed stuff
});
client.on('message', msg => {
// your commands
});
sorry
gleaming tulip
what xavin said
broken elm
So
How would I go about using the data from an api
I know how to send info to the api to get something back from it
calm token
I think I was wrong again
broken elm
But my problem is the fact that I don’t know how I use the data I get back
earnest phoenix
whats your lang
broken elm
js
calm token
😕
earnest phoenix
do you get a json response
broken elm
Yeah
latent willow
@calm token you need to send the embed like you did before ofc ^^
also i hope you didnt copy these 3 again in your message event
gleaming tulip
how are you getting the response from the api
earnest phoenix
https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_parse.asp @broken elm
calm token
sorry I can not, I do not understand your explanations, I'm French I try to understand better what you say
gleaming tulip
you can keep your message event where it is Hugo
just remove the guildMemberAdd and guildMemberRemove events outside of the message event
otherwise they will be ran each time a message is sent
analog basin
I created a bot called Obedient Bot to help with my testing purposes and he won't execute a single command I give him. I'd be mad if it wasn't so ironic
gleaming tulip
did you turn it on / is it online
analog basin
yeah
gleaming tulip
check the bot log
unless you run the bot in cmd or something else besides dbm
does it error?
calm token
analog basin
doesn't even say I've done anything lol
gleaming tulip
no Hugo
don't put events inside other events
just separate them, like if they were independent functions
analog basin
I don't know how to execute in cmd, last time no matter how many guides I looked up I couldn't get bots to execute with it
is it a possibility I bricked it when inviting it to my server?
analog basin
when generating the link I didn't have any permissions ticked under the impression he'd just have default everything, in hindsight its a possibilty that it's just deprived of all rights
atleast it said something I guess
it's supposed to mimic what I say back but for some reason he just doesn't listen rip
what
someone hijacked my bot?
excuse me?
someone just jacked my server kicked everyone and is now in control of my bot.
latent willow
regen your token
and remove it from github
latent willow
no -- it's people have scraper to go through github and find public available tokens and do shit with it (most likely that person is not even on his pc atm)
move your token in a config file and google for "how to gitignore a file" and dont upload that config file to github
analog basin
that bot didn't even have admin in hindsight
this is him
before he started messing with crap his name was "OHMEGA"
well anyway this "obedient bot" hasn't executed a single command I've told it
what a waste of 3 hours
modern sable
you have your bot's token on github
analog basin
that's true, will heroku be able to read my token if it's private though?
actually heroku has a slot for that
I'll just update all my github stuff real quick
earnest phoenix
you can say bye to security if you are using free hosting
grim aspen
put your github to private
analog basin
I don't think heroku will be able to make sense of my files if I have it on private, I'll replace the key with a fake
and then add an exception on heroku
worker: node bot.js
I need this for later don't mind me
gleaming tulip
or just don't have a token at all
analog basin
?
analog basin
will heroku be able to read private repositories?
gleaming tulip
you'll need to give them permission to do so
gleaming tulip
you can just create the private repository
amber fractal
Or gitignore
gleaming tulip
create the heroku project, and then go to the Deploy tab and connect your github repository to it
analog basin
also this is gonna sound like a stupid thing to say but I only JUST found the delete repository button, how can I delete only one folder from the repository?
hushed berry
You should never even have configurable data in code
gleaming tulip
how did you push stuff to github
analog basin
how did I upload the files? I've never heard the term push so I dunno exactly what that means
gleaming tulip
yeah how did you upload the files
analog basin
created the repos and just drag/dropped everything except resources, and instead of node_modules I did xtend and also the actions folder from DBM then I added a Procfile for the worker node
dunno if that answers your question, hope it does
gleaming tulip
uh
analog basin
I'll take that as a no?
gleaming tulip
so you want to remove the node_modules folder
analog basin
yeah I uploaded the xtend folder instead of node_modules
gleaming tulip
you don't have to upload the node_modules folder
actually, you shouldn't update the node_modules folder
analog basin
do I upload the xtend though?
gleaming tulip
no clue what that is
analog basin
oh ok well your the expert
analog basin
I got my advice from a 40 minute unedited video when they do this and blare 3x speed anime intros and called it "nightcore" so I don't trust it
I'm using the web default
gleaming tulip
I mean dbm
gleaming tulip
where did you get dbm from
analog basin
truthfully... igggames
analog basin
well I mean I'm making discord bots
I've looked at the video guides and their version looks the same
the xtend folder is one of the 100 and something folders in node_modules
grim aspen
i know
analog basin
well I think this is a 6 month old build
grim aspen
so it's a pirated program then
gleaming tulip
yep
analog basin
it's past 1.4 I know that much is true
gleaming tulip
the only legit way of getting dbm is from steam
gleaming tulip
yeah
analog basin
It's not that I don't think it's worth it, I just can't afford it
grim aspen
i can understand that
gleaming tulip
this is not a thing either https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272764566411149314/566343823601565731/unknown.png
(you sent that in here)
analog basin
yeah haha I photoshopped that
gleaming tulip
ah
analog basin
everyone was implying I was stupid and used this as some "cheaters way of making bots" or like that and how it's equivalent to "calling myself a game developer because I've been on scratch" so I sent that and said "GuYs I DoN'T KnOw whAt to ClIcK"
yeah mine looks pretty legit
brb
if my bots down for half the time does that mean it'll be declined?
I got it on heroku but it's been down constantly so I could improve it
first obedient bot wouldn't execute commands, then it started doing its own commands
so now
I've taken down every instance of it
and
it's still online
this might be the most disobedient bot of all time
grim aspen
did you reset the bot's token?
gleaming tulip
oh yeah the token got leaked
they might have dmed everybody
well, the bot is not here so
quartz kindle
it takes a while for discord to update a bot's status when it goes offline (to make sure its really offline)
and your bot has to be online when mods review it, else its declined
but there's no way of knowing when they're gonna review it
so if you want your bot approved, have it online as much as you can, and leave developing to either before you submit it, or after its approved
i only submitted my bot after developing it for like a month, to make sure it was stable enough and actually useful for people to use
versed pawn
Please approve my bot
grim aspen
earnest phoenix
in awaitMessageReaction can i put "time: 0" ?
drowsy wedge
honestly not sure if this goes in api or here but my bot randomly goes offline a good few minutes after launching, i host on my computer as of the moment, console says the bot is still online but in discord everywhere they appear offline. runs on 4gb ram and in 20 servers
drowsy wedge
nope
also @earnest phoenix what language
and to add, my bot goes back online 5-30 min later
buoyant wagon
is there an error
quartz kindle
something is making it crash or become stuck in an infinite loop, or large delay
