var prefix = ‘!’
if (message.content.startswith(prefix + ‘command name here’)){
//run code here

I can’t get into my laptop rn to show you but start a message collector with a timer of 10000 milliseconds

Alright, one second
earnest phoenix
I don’t get what you are trying to do, but ok

I try

He wants to be able to use his bots mention as his prefix
Along side a normal prefix such a /

But don't work XD
twilit rapids
He wants it so you can do @some-random-bot ping and some-random-prefix ping.

twilit rapids
I haven't looked into the change log of 11.5.2 so I am looking if anything in that stuff has changed before I can give an answer.

Is it possible to have an embed field with only a name and no value?
warm marsh
Nope
twilit rapids
You could do ** ** as value to make it look empty.
warm marsh
But you can put an invisible character line below.
mossy vine
you can make the value a zws
hushed quarry
I just set the description of it to achieve that
earnest phoenix
The blank space looks untidy though.

@sinful lotus hello buddy
twilit rapids
It's a space where there's supposed to be text. It's not really made for an empty space

twilit rapids
** ** works fine

luca said>>>>
Your bot was declined. Reason: Your bot doesn't have a (working) help command or obvious point of entry. Please make sure your bot has a help command or has an explanation in the bot description.
warm flame
So make a help command or something
copper cradle
then
warm flame
¯_(ツ)_/¯
copper cradle
^^
earnest phoenix
I'll try that, thank you.
stray gazelle
but it has help command with command explanation
warm flame
Can't use a bot that doesn't have a help or list of commands
copper cradle
then re-submit
warm flame
Well then you didn't make it obvious what that is
stray gazelle
it has
warm flame
If they can't find it they can't use it lol. Just mention the help command on your bots description
stray gazelle
but in another way
warm flame
Well then mention that in the description
copper cradle
^
warm flame
Yup
twilit rapids
Was the help command unavailable during the submission?
If so, you picked a bad time to work on it.
stray gazelle
noope

If your bot got declined, better ask the mod that declined it so that you will get more context on why it was declined
or at least make it respond when it is mentioned

does editing a BOT bump it to last place in the queue?

Yep, python

They work for single line commands iirc in the console
slender thistle
Works just fine whenever
pale marsh
Even in classes and stuff?
plucky sun
I saw what was wrong. Its good
thanks 😃
slender thistle
You mean send a message?
pale marsh
I would really advise against sending your logs to a channel
If you wanna log certain things like your bot joining/leaving a server, etc then it's fine
warm flame
Yeah idk about all logs. But I do have errors sent to a channel so I can easily see if something breaks
pale marsh
But if you're gonna log messages or commands I suggest to do that in the console if you don't wanna use a lot of bandwidth/get ratelimited if there's heavy usage on your bot
earnest phoenix
@plucky sun this error happened when the bot cant dm a user or when the id isn't valid
@woven sundial console log?
You mean error?
warm marsh
So my bot keeps going restarting when using music command, It used to work before coded bot with sharding.
Also the dispatcher doesn't set inside my map. discord.js
quartz hill
I'm gonna use Shard, but I have global values.The values must be synchronous.
Because they are used to intervene in SQL.
What can I do?
Is there a detailed example? (nodejs (discordjs))

how to use a lot of data as command

this doesnt work
Json doesn't work like that
i read that i can use multiple values for one
i just dont know how to
create a data per server
i cant do that

unique nimbus
ah
earnest phoenix
y did you ask
unique nimbus
Store it as a string
for my bot I did
G = ["G-", "g-", "@uncut widget ", "lazynekoisacutie "]
idk how it is in js
but yes
earnest phoenix
well you got a point
It's the same in js
i may store my prefix in file
not in config
but does json files work like i want?
No
unique nimbus
Do what I did idk
earnest phoenix
^
ill do that
and i saw i can actually
but its like
json["prefix"][value]
I have multiple prefixes in a json file but i think heroku doesn't give permissions to fs to write file
but i dont want it
i got my answer thanks

onyx summit
Why does the dbl website show a different server count every time you reload?
onyx summit
okay, Its showing 1785, I reload its showing 1780
and its my bot, It did not leave 5 servers, I can see in the logs
onyx summit
just saying but this is the same on every bot
earnest phoenix
So ping a website mod, maybe website mods can help you
heady zinc
@onyx summit DBL's infrastructure is sharded
and sometimes, some shards aren't up to date
making the count slightly inaccurate, but still close enough to be reliable
earnest phoenix
^ paradox has the rights words
onyx summit
is this also the reason why the upvote count is different in the card preview and in the bot page?
heady zinc
yes indeed

pls help I'm using discord.js and I try to make my bot connect to a voice channel and when I try to connect it says '.name is not defined' when it clearly is defined in the discord js documentation. Ideas?
console.log(user.voiceChannel.name)
ping me if you have a suggestion - I wont get mad
high lava
@earnest phoenix The way you wrote it is NOT defined in the documentation
msg.author.voiceChannel isn't a thing https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/User
author a.k.a "user" has no voiceChannel properties
you want to do msg.member.voiceChannel.name https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMember
earnest phoenix
@high lava Thanks! I was thinking that msg.author would return the name of the person who wrote it, and adding .voiceChannel would return the name of the voice channel that the author is in, if he is in one
also user was a variable - forgot to say that
high lava
Well author itself doesn't return anything. You have to use its properties to get anything out of it. But author doesn't have the .voiceChannel property so you wont be able to get any Voice info out of it
high lava
can you get .id?
Also, are you IN a voice channel?
You have to be in one before it can return a name
amber fractal
Technically author returns a User object*
earnest phoenix
no, but that shouldn't matter. It shoud return undefined instead of a crash
high lava
If you don't handle it, then there's nothing you can do
What's the code of the command you're using?
If it's not too big
high lava
in what though?
earnest phoenix
now im confused
it works now, but you were right
it does crash if it cant read the name of the voice channel
thanks!
high lava
np
Although I'm still confused about how where you're using console.log, but as long as it's fixed. lol
earnest phoenix
Im using console.log() as a temporary debuging method. I will remove it if it works. 😀
high lava
Gotcha. I'm guessing you don't have a check to see if the user is in a channel first though. Try doing that to avoid errors if possible.
It should be as simple as ```js
if (!msg.member.voiceChannel) return msg.channel.send('Please connect to a Voice Channel.');
K
also, one more thing. I put a .catch() block with another console.log() and this is what it did:
high lava
Install FFMPEG
earnest phoenix
wha?
high lava
earnest phoenix
with npm install FFMPEG?
amber fractal
no
high lava
You'd have to do it in windows
earnest phoenix
I can't. No admin perms
earnest phoenix
It says promise rejection warning. So what I think is happening is that my catch block isn't doing what it's supposed to
idle basalt
it just says that
high lava
The real problem is that FFMPEG isn't installed and defined in the PATH of windows
earnest phoenix
K one sec
werid. I dowloaded ffmpeg via npm install ffmpeg in the exact folder where I run my API. It doesn't work
ok well I have to go. Good Night

Hey, so im new at using enmap as a db for my bot and when i run a guild prefix command my default prefix is undefined, i would really appreciate help from you guys.
twilit rapids
I think you have a default settings somewhere?
Like, when it joins a guild it sets the prefix for it
earnest phoenix
Yea
twilit rapids
Change your code, so it reacts to a prefix in your config, then you can use eval to set the prefix for every guild into the default settings. Then change the code again so it reacts to what is is supposed to
copper cradle
^
copper cradle
yes
this happened to me
(not using that db)
but I did that and it worked just fine
twilit rapids
Yeah, you now probably have guildSettings.prefix as prefix, change that to /config.prefix
copper cradle
then do ```js
client.guilds.forEach(guild => /Whatever the code for adding something to the db is/)
ofc if you're using JS (I think)
and if you named your client clientclient.guilds.forEach(g => client.guildSettings.set(g.id,clien. defaultSettings));
.>
twilit rapids
No, You probably have this somewhere
const guildConfig = bot.guildSettings.get(msg.guild.id)
And then somewhere
guildConfig.prefix
e.g.
if (msg.content.indexOf(guildConfig.prefix) !== 0) return;
^
earnest phoenix
let configfile = client.guildConfigurations.ensure(message.guild.id, defaultGuildConfigurations)
And i used configfile.prefix
twilit rapids
Yeah alright
earnest phoenix
Not the same way as u defined it
earnest phoenix
i used that
twilit rapids
then change configfile.prefix to client.config.prefix (You must have a config file set up and defined)
Then run the eval to change it in every server
Then replace it with configfile.prefix again
twilit rapids
In how many servers is your bot
copper cradle
lol
twilit rapids
Do you have it set up that when it joins a guild, it set's the guild settings to the default settings
copper cradle
lmfao
earnest phoenix
Ye
copper cradle
that emote
earnest phoenix
Kick what
twilit rapids
the bot
earnest phoenix
The bot?
copper cradle
the bot
twilit rapids
the both
copper cradle
lmao
twilit rapids
No no, kick the bot and re add, don't change any of the code
earnest phoenix
Oh ok
twilit rapids
Since it's only in one guild
twilit rapids
Do you have it set, so when the bot joins a guild, it set's the guild settings to the default settings?
In your guildCreate event.
earnest phoenix
hmm nope
earnest phoenix
Ah okay
twilit rapids
Then, when that is done, kick the bot and re-add it to your server
And then you are all good to go
earnest phoenix
hm how do u reset to default when the bot joins the server
twilit rapids
In the guildCreate event, set the guild settings to the default settings
earnest phoenix
client.settings.set(member.guild.id, defaultSettings);?
twilit rapids
yeah
twilit rapids
Show the code of the guildCreate event and your message event.
earnest phoenix
twilit rapids
then, did you kick the bot from your guild and re added it?
slender thistle
That's possible
sinful lotus
arrays are designed for that
earnest phoenix
well because i cant store data in other ways due to my hosting
ill try this then
sinful lotus
but keep in mind that that wont store things permanently
quartz hill
I am writing again. I'm sorry.
A little urgent.
I'm gonna use Shard, but I have global values.The values must be synchronous.
Because they are used to intervene in SQL.
What can I do?
Is there a detailed example? (nodejs (discordjs))
sinful lotus
Shard?
quartz hill
yes
sinful lotus
What do you mean by Shard first
mossy vine
i think they mean sharding
quartz hill
sharding yes
quartz hill
I'm new to this.
I would use sharding but couldn't find enough resources.
split lantern
What type of sharding are you using
quartz hill
I will use. I don't even know what to use yet.
I am stuck because my global values are very high and I have sql.
What do you recommend I do?
split lantern
You can use internal sharding wich means everything still runs in 1 process
quartz hill
Yes it works but I want to use sharding to solve the slowness.
For example, 1 shard per 100 guilds
sinful lotus
tbh sql supports sharding
also sharding means more memory usage
do you have a server that can handle sharding?
quartz hill
Right now, I don't intend to increase the number of shards too much.
I change the server if there is a problem. I can switch to paid servers.
sinful lotus
I see, but I would clear one misconception
javascript is not slow
a single process can handle more than 4k guilds
if you have issues with slowness, and the guild count on process is not even close to 2.5k
I would recommend reviewing your code instead
earnest phoenix
its not slow, node is simply resource heavy
yes or the cpu/ram of the host
also get rid of the habit of using free servers for something public
sinful lotus
yes thats another factor
quartz hill
It may be, but I want to solve it already. For the future.
sinful lotus
If you want to solve the issue of slowness
earnest phoenix
what is the latency of your bot?
sinful lotus
this is the things you need to ask your self.
- am I doing too much loops?
- am I doing a lot of un-needed things? (basically stuffs that you do even you dont need to)
- Is my host sufficient for my bot?
- Am I doing a resource heavy setInterval? or forgetting an interval?
- Is my bot's internet fine?
Node.js Runs on a single thread
earnest phoenix
Latency is the amount of time it takes for an event to be performed. @earnest phoenix
yes
sinful lotus
a simple
while (true) console.log('1')
will break your bot functionality
it will not execute any code because its stuck there
earnest phoenix
causing delay if internet is bad
Oh, I'm dumb. You were asking what his bot's latency is, not what the definition is. 
quartz hill
When a bot is loaded in a guild, there is a slight slowdown in the other.
The reason might be sql queries but I wanted to try using shard.
The bot's internet is no problem. but sql ...
earnest phoenix
dont use free servers, they underperform and are not made to run bots, rather they are there to run small websites
quartz hill
heroku
sinful lotus
just move the bot in paid if thats the case
also another thing, how many sql you do on join?
quartz hill
A command has a min 3-4 sql query.That's one of the reasons for slowing down when there's a very guild query.
earnest phoenix
which is, again, because you are using free servers
quartz hill
yes
pale marsh
3-4 queries per command is a bad practice tbh
sinful lotus
minimize your sql queries
pale marsh
If you want to check a value then cache the data in memory, then only call update queries when those values change
sinful lotus
if possible just use one query
sinful lotus
then we cant do anything about it,
4 sql statements is too much for a single event
either do some caching
then background storing
or optimize the code itself
its impossible that you cant optimize it in my opinion
quartz hill
hmm
I'il check back.
quartz kindle
also check if you're able to use transactions instead of individual queries
and do it in async if you can

rustic obsidian
That is custom prefix.
earnest phoenix
okay, ill give that a watch
rustic obsidian
Custom prefix means that the user in a server, could set a prefix whatever he/she prefers
earnest phoenix
oof
rustic obsidian
TSC is more for basic stuff imo.
sinful lotus
I doubt you would have problems on KeyV
earnest phoenix
would i put the example in the main file or
rustic obsidian
Well yeah if you understand how to c0de
earnest phoenix
?
sinful lotus
keyV is just like a map
earnest phoenix
@rustic obsidian yeah but js is very easy for beginners
sinful lotus
and that would depend on your code
earnest phoenix
rustic obsidian
It is easy yes
sinful lotus
I cant just say slam that on your code
earnest phoenix
no :'(
sinful lotus
epp we are getting quite offtopic now
earnest phoenix
Oh wth this is not off-topic
lilac nymph
u don't necessarily need to use anything to store prefixes beyond a json file
it's only if you need to run the bot on a server that it's useful to have a proper database
KeyV is just a convenient way to write key/value pairs to a database
sinful lotus
JSON file as storage is never been good
If JSON was recommended for read and write I would be using that
but the problem it isnt
earnest phoenix
use mysql or mongodb
sinful lotus
so just use a database, there are lots to choose from
sinful lotus
common choice for no sql db
earnest phoenix
db are free
sinful lotus
DBs are free

simply don't include a thumbnail

Here is a weird question but is there a way I can take my bots member and server count and display it on a website?
So I can go onto a website and it shows me the member and server count live.
My bot is using discord.py

sure, turn your app into a web app
this will allow you to host the bot and the website in the same environment, allowing you to choose which data you expose to the website

how would I go around doing that?

You can do that in #memes-and-media if they really can't speak English

.fetch is a promise
you need to await it
and then you can handle the message it returns
sinful lotus
what do you want to do
could you elaborate?
also thats wrong
its better to do this like

I am just trying to make it react to the message
sinful lotus
but you didnt do a reaction code on resolved promise
sinful lotus
I dont see any react there yet
grave pilot
Still aint working
sinful lotus
what is your code
grave pilot
Its logging the message object but aint reacting
Sec
let reactionMessage = await reactionMessageChannel.messages.fetch(collected);
// It is a valid id, it logs in console (https://i.imgur.com/OSTgwJW.png)
await reactionMessage.react(reactionCollected);
Yes it is running async
sinful lotus
what is reactionCollected
grave pilot
Its a reaction
ReactionEmoji I think to be exact
I can make it consoe log if U want
sinful lotus
what reaction ?
sinful lotus
try doing a simple code first
try to do msg.react() so that it will react to your eval msg
and see if that works
grave pilot
I see no reason for it to not work tho
sinful lotus
cant test it on my bot due to the fact I dont cache emojis
unicode emojis works fine to me

I am failing to understand what you are asking. I would advise requesting for assistance in #memes-and-media with the language you speak.
grim pond
What is the reason I can't add DBL Bot but I can't add it for some reasons?
earnest phoenix
Again, this is not a question for #development. Please take it to #general or preferably, head over to #memes-and-media and ask the same question in your language.
limpid raptor
Let me see your code
rugged kelp
Ok
limpid raptor
You must use 2 parameters
For exemple js .addField("The title of the field", "The description of the field")
Oh no 😂
rugged kelp
incidentchannel.send{banEmbed};
limpid raptor
If the error is "RichEmbed field values must not be empty"...
rugged kelp
oh
let banEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
with ; ?
let banEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed();
no
limpid raptor
Your bUser isn't defined when you type the command
rugged kelp
limpid raptor
no
limpid raptor
Restart the bot and type ">ban @Anybody"
limpid raptor
Just.. the let bUser = message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.members.get(args[0])
limpid raptor
Okay
limpid raptor
:D
limpid raptor
let kUser = message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.member(args[0])
limpid raptor
Yeah
limpid raptor
And if it hasn't reason, you havn't do that
slender thistle
Does guild.member even exist 
limpid raptor
🤔
rugged kelp
: )
let kUser = message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.member(args[0]); or without ; ?
without
with
xd
limpid raptor
As you want
limpid raptor
Personnaly i never use ; x)
rugged kelp
kuser.... is not a function xD
limpid raptor
'Cuz message.guild.member(kUser).hasPermission("nanana")
limpid raptor
xD
limpid raptor
?
rugged kelp
where to put ``message.guild bla bla xD
limpid raptor
Where you has your "kUser.hasPermission"
limpid raptor
Yeah
rugged kelp
if(message.guild.member(kUser).hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES")) return message.channel.send("**Aceasta persoana nu poate primii kick :cowboy:**");
It's good ?
limpid raptor
Yes

Does anyone know why a bot could constantly be restarting itself at random times and also not restarting? It is running on a VPS which is definitely not faulty at all and even though the VPS is online, the bot isn't. When we restart the VPS, the bot comes online but doesn't respond to any commands, but it sometimes will respond to a ping with over 50k ms. After it has been online for a while, it will switch itself off while the VPS is still online and even while the bot is appearing offline, it sometimes sends extremely delayed responses to the ping command with over 100k ms. This does not happen all the time nor has it happened before yesterday; yesterday was the first time we experienced it and it was around this time, I don't understand how this could be two days in a row at the same time. It also is definitely not the code because we are running the exact same files with the exact same code on a test bot which is on a separate host.
twilit rapids
Are there any errors logged in the console?
earnest phoenix
No
south sonnet
@earnest phoenix hard to tell since idk the code of the bot.
I have a thing in mind tho, does the bot work decently when you have a vps connection open and running? @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
When it is online and stable, it is 100% with pings of less than 100ms.
warm flame
i've had issues like that and normally its due to blocking code and or the bot being spammed somewhere
might not apply here though
earnest phoenix
Maybe if I provide a link to view more info about the bot, it'd be easier to help.

This is all we get from a debug event.
https://hasteb.in/emihidis.sql
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix which region is it hosted in
it could be that discord servers are having a shit in the region
you should test exchanging data with other websites other than discord
We tried running the bot on multiple hosts in which each host is in a different region.
same result?
Same issue occurred.
rugged kelp
Hey
earnest phoenix
it's code that's faulty probably
rugged kelp
Who help me please? : )
earnest phoenix
We have a test bot as well and the test bot is running the exact same files with the exact same code which is perfectly fine.
twilit rapids
@rugged kelp the message you are trying to send does not have any content.
earnest phoenix
dunno if it's relevant, however discord can increase ratelimits for users that hit them very often
hence why they're dynamic
could be that
rugged kelp
And what code for this ? @twilit rapids
earnest phoenix
That's a good point.
twilit rapids
What do you mean?
rugged kelp
For message
earnest phoenix
But would that prevent it from turning on?
twilit rapids
There is no code to send an empty message.
south sonnet
@earnest phoenix does it have a visual interface?
earnest phoenix
not exactly sure, maybe there's something about reconnecting to the gateway that clears the ratelimit?
south sonnet
Follow up question from my stuff above^^
earnest phoenix
unlikely, but possible
No visual interface. We use an SFTP to manage files and there is a dashboard to restart the VPS and see stats.
south sonnet
Does it record the vps or something like that?
earnest phoenix
It shows how many resources we are using, that's it.
west spoke
@rugged kelp
Split message (prefix + command) then get the rest by getting the splitted message by var[1]
earnest phoenix
its irrelevant, the issue occurs over multiple hosts, and the dashboard is for the machine, not the process
Yeah
west spoke
Dont care it's simple coding
earnest phoenix
if there's different behaviour with same files but different accounts, it's more than likely discord did something on their end to the account
rugged kelp
Idk how to put : (
earnest phoenix
you should try emailing them
rugged kelp
earnest phoenix
granted there's 80% of chance that the discord support team won't help you and will redirect you to somewhere else but it's worth a shot
rugged kelp
for .js
rugged kelp
ok
earnest phoenix
We've sent an email but no response yet. Though, similar bots have reached an extreme amount of rate limits frequently and are running fine.
🤷 i can't explain that, pretty much no one knows how discord's backend works however it's speculated that first there's an automatic system to increase ratelimits then it's done manually
It's really confusing, hopefully Discord will be able to help. Thanks anyway.
big bots like rythm, dyno and mee6 have their ratelimits modified to fit the amount of usage, don't know for any other ones
rugged kelp
@west spoke You found ?
west spoke
No, I said I dont use js
west spoke
There is something called Google btw
west spoke

discord.js
if (message.content.startsWith('s)filewrite')) {
prefix = "s)filewrite"
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(' ');
arg1 = args[1]
prefix = "s)filewrite " + arg1
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split();
fs.writeFile(arg1, args, function(err) {
message.delete(message)
if (err) throw err;
});
return
}
When I make a file using this command, it adds a extra space to the beginning. How do I fix it?
mossy vine
@shy turret args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(' ')
shy turret
so..
if (message.content.startsWith('s)filewrite')) {
prefix = "s)filewrite"
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(' ')
arg1 = args[1]
prefix = "s)filewrite " + arg1
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(' ')
fs.writeFile(arg1, args, function(err) {
message.delete(message)
if (err) throw err;
});
return
}
yes
that should work
.trim() removes any whitespace at the start and end of a string
shy turret
wait no
not for the first opne
only the second one
thx
but args make hi,hi on the file if i run s)filewrite hi.txt hi hi
one argument is fine but 2 or more isn't
let me try soemthing
something*
nope i failed
if (message.content.startsWith('s)filewrite')) {
prefix = "s)filewrite"
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(' ');
arg1 = args[1]
prefix = "s)filewrite " + arg1
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(' ')
fs.writeFile(arg1, args, function(err) {
message.delete(message)
if (err) throw err;
});
return
}
i fixed it
if (message.content.startsWith('s)filewrite')) {
prefix = "s)filewrite"
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(' ');
arg1 = args[1]
prefix = "s)filewrite " + arg1
args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split()
fs.writeFile(arg1, args, function(err) {
message.delete(message)
if (err) throw err;
});
return
}

.setColor(0x00ff00)
.setFooter('created at:')
.setTimestamp(message.createdAt);
message.author.send('Your order has bin Sent for 5$! You should see a friend request or Dm from our worker soon. At the end you can do i-tip to tip them')
Channel.send(a)```
