are you sure it wasnt a dm?
wooden lance
const guildConf = client.settings.ensure(message.guild.id, defaultSettings); is the bit throwing back the error though
idle basalt
im pretty sure the only way for message.guild to be undefined is if you get a dm or if somethings wrong with your message object
console.log(message)
wooden lance
i added if (!message.guild) return; and still getting an error ```/root/DiscordBotApp/bot.js:217

it is @idle basalt

wooden lance
literally right under client.on("message", message => {
idle basalt
that means something happens to make message.guild null before it gets to message.guild.id
just hastebin the whole file
wooden lance
Ok
quartz kindle
@wooden lance that error is on line 217 now
wooden lance
https://pastebin.com/rMDhu3cj there are some issues in it, fixing it now. like some really stupid mistakes
idle basalt
could be
youre probably getting the error in a different place now
like tim noted its on a different line
so its probably in your other message event
you dont want to open multiple events of the same type, just put everything into one
if you want to compartmentalize, use modules
right now on every message you have 4 blocks of code running all at once
instead you should run it once and then choose the correct block with conditions
wooden lance
ok
idle basalt
some other tips, use .env to store all your various keys
and since youre already separating your commands into separate files, you can do the same with your events
idle basalt
does it work now?
wooden lance
gonna launch it now
idle basalt
btw, https://hasteb.in is easier than pastebin

Crashed
The message that is being sent is liam:invitelinktest btw, dont really understand why we are getting the bot to relay the message to console.
idle basalt
youre logging the message object
guild is a property of the message object
youre trying to access the id property of the guild property of the message
but the guild property is null
so by logging the message, you can get more information about whats going on

What is the limit of reactions a bot can make on a message @modern sable 
To counter any API abuse
idle basalt
also now in your error it seems to happen on line 104 instead of 107
earnest phoenix
a message can have 20 different reactions @earnest phoenix
wooden lance
@idle basalt https://pastebin.com/BYML1eAU
earnest phoenix
if the bot were to be only user to make reactions, then it's 20
@earnest phoenix yes but, bots must respect Discord's api

sorry :(
wooden lance
it's ok, i get this error a lot, normally when i use const
but the client.on before (the one that ran the commands) worked until i moved the code over.
ill try removing bit by bit
@idle basalt without this bit, it's fine. https://pastebin.com/6rXvNvKy
topaz fjord
@wooden lance have you tried moving ```js
const guildConf = client.settings.ensure(message.guild.id, defaultSettings);
```js
if(!message.guild || message.author.bot) return;
IT WORKS OMG THANK YOU @topaz fjord
topaz fjord
ofc it does
you're using message.guild.id before you even check if the message is from a guild

im trying to put this in my code bot.channels.get("<622171281285971988>").send("<your message content here>") but it comes back with "cannot read property 'send' of undefined. ??

this is actually bad advice but pls dont get a linter if you dont want to be screamed at for ur code

def get a linter
learn good practices right away and then you wont have to relearn how to write code if you plan on getting a job or something
nimble phoenix
what ever methods y'all have to share on how to get started I'm all open ears
idle basalt
we just gave you like 3
nimble phoenix
DV said they have something if I wanted it
idle basalt
- pick a lang (js is prob the easiest, esp since you want to make a discord bot)
- start learning/coding
knotty steeple
hey i personally hate linters 
idle basalt
there are an infinite number of ways to get started, dont worry about it too much just start
https://discordjs.guide and https://codecademy.com are good places to start
knotty steeple
make a command line
app

to experiment with node.js
before u make a bot
nimble phoenix
a... what?

a little thing that runs in your terminal
knotty steeple

fallow quiver
What would be the code for creating and deleting JSONs
idle basalt
google: delete a file node
fallow quiver
Ok
idle basalt
shockingly, youll find the answer
idle basalt
its like unlink or something to delete
knotty steeple
fs.appendFile('message.txt', 'data to append', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('The "data to append" was appended to file!');
});
example

synchronously is bad

Got it.
idle basalt
why?
knotty steeple
always try to do thing asynchronously
// Assuming that 'path/file.txt' is a regular file.
fs.unlink('path/file.txt', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('path/file.txt was deleted');
});
eh
fallow quiver
So from my research I think its fs.writeFile("thing.json", dictstring);
idle basalt
i thought you wanted to delete the file
fallow quiver
I need to create files to
knotty steeple
why are you making json files anyway
idle basalt
^
fallow quiver
The plan is that the bot can create JSONs that will store data for the sever so it will create a file calle `<servername>event.json
knotty steeple
do not do that
idle basalt
you probably want a database then
knotty steeple
use a database
idle basalt
json is fine sometimes but its usually more hassle than its worth
broken shale
I use json files to store emotes
knotty steeple
json files can be corrupted and if your bot is big json files are really bad
sinful lotus
Its better than saving all server data in single json tbh
knotty steeple
if you have to use json yes
sinful lotus
at least it womt corrupt since one guild = one json
idle basalt
i think json only gets corrupted with concurrent reads/writes
broken shale
yes
idle basalt
so if you create a file for each guild and you dont let the users access them all at the same time, then youre chillin
idle basalt
but thats honestly a lot of trouble just use a db
idle basalt
json isnt meant to store data like this
sinful lotus
but still I would suggest a proper db even your json idea is not bad
knotty steeple
sqlite is good for a small db
fallow quiver
I'm trying to use it to store a score data for each user when a mod starts an event, and then when an event is ended it send the scores and deletes or clears the file
sinful lotus
sqlite is good for 20k guilds even 50k
knotty steeple
really?
sinful lotus
just dont expect the same over 100k
sinful lotus
I used sqlite until 50k
knotty steeple
what did u switch to
fallow quiver
Would a database work for what I want it to?
sinful lotus
mariadb
idle basalt
yes
knotty steeple
mmm mariadb
idle basalt
thats what you want
knotty steeple
how did you move the data tho
idle basalt
wdym stormy, like how you can log in to the website?
knotty steeple
o
valid frigate
mongo gang
knotty steeple
pretty sure there should atleast be a way to transfer
from sqlite to mysql/mariadb
sinful lotus
mariadb is mysql but its better
knotty steeple
yes i know i use mariadb
sinful lotus
so if you plan to use mysql, just use mariadb
idle basalt
oh so like when someone joins it asks them to type a code or something?
idle basalt
and if you get it back then let em in
sinful lotus
you dont need db for that
knotty steeple
¯_(ツ)_/¯
idle basalt
the other guy wants a db
sinful lotus
I personally made one with roles only
idle basalt
hes doing scores
knotty steeple
u dont need any db for it
idle basalt
no you dont need anything stormy
fallow quiver
Yeah, for event management
amber fractal
permissions 0 is just the everyone role
idle basalt
no youll be fine
valid frigate
ok so ive asked this probably once already b u t .
lament apex
Also, do I have to submit all the code of my bot while adding it?
valid frigate
how can i actually spawn shards in djs by using websockets
knotty steeple
just put the info it asks you for
an id, library
description
etc
and submit
@valid frigate u can use sharding managers
smh
lament apex
Alright. Haven't looked over the page yet so I was just wondering...
valid frigate
id guess it means i 1) learn more about websockets and 2) to be a cool kid like ravy
smh
slim heart
Wdym making your own
slim heart
You want to use raw discord websockets or do you want to make a manager that works straight into djs
valid frigate
uhhh something that would work straight into djs
probably since the discord api is scary
slim heart
I mean it’d be dumb to not use the djs manager for djs
Also, sharding managers don’t manage websockets
slim heart
Well ya gotta find what
valid frigate
yeah
slim heart
Like I just made Jaylon a completely raw websocket for discord
valid frigate
i mean websockets seem pretty cool
slim heart
With absolutely no caching and events n stuff lmao
slim heart
Well
slim heart
So here’s the thing, websockets are really simple, you send strings, and you receive strings
You connect, you get a socket, you can send things straight to that socket
valid frigate
interesting
slim heart
There’s not much more you need to know unless u want the specifics of like websocket server creation
valid frigate
so the client keeps the connection open vs. request/response
slim heart
Which is still pretty much the same principle but there’s a lot of things with client storing if you want to send to multiple people, stoof like that
Yeah, websockets don’t need any receiver input to send to something
slim heart
there’s plenty of guides online to get you started there

I don't think that's it, I mean like
message.channel.send ("This Server Is: " <servername>)

in this case, message.guild.name
<Guild> just means get the guild object from somewhere and then access the name property
you can get to the guild object however you want
fallow quiver
Ok Thank you
I've been "coding" a while but I just I just started Java a few days ago
broken shale
also use template literals for the servername

`string ${variable}`
```is equivalent to```js
'string' + variable```to help better explain what fortis said
fallow quiver
Ok hopefully last question for a while, is there a way to get the ID for animated emojis if I don't have nitro, I know the bot can sent it but can I copy it from the emoji list somehow
broken shale
<client>.emojis.find(x => x.name == 'something').id
fallow quiver
Ok
valid frigate
get used to using ===
broken shale
I like == ¯_(ツ)_/¯
valid frigate
we dont want "true" === 1 to be a thing
The lack of transitivity is alarming. My advice is to never use the evil twins. Instead, always use === and !==. All of the comparisons just shown produce false with the === operator.

This may be the problem. Does the message you're sending to the bot start with the prefix? If not, you should swap these lines https://i.imgur.com/ppXkOFo.png

how can i check if a user has been in a server for more than 2 days
what api are you using? If it's Discord.NET you can use SocketGuildUser.JoinedAt
default
what
idk
how do i check lol
what programming language are you using?
d js
oh
I don't know about discord.js rip
oh
api is not an api wrapper
🙂 thx for trying
does anyone else know how to check if a member has been in a server a certain amount of time/days? d.js
you don't need to repeat your question
damn i was just about to send that link
lmao you're too fast
ughh
i don't know how to implement it lmao
Can anyone take a look at my command reference and give me feedback? I think the sizes aren't good (they feel like they're both too large for a normal website, or either too small for its information density)
get a guild member, use that property and subtract it from the current date, then check if the difference is 2 days or less @earnest phoenix
oh didn't know you could do it with that function
but how would you check the difference
it's unreadable @earnest phoenix
Are you talking about the index.html page?
the whole website is unreadable and unpleasant to look at
oof
color scheme is iffy
yeah that's what I was thinking
I'm not good at html
not a big deal
there's also too much information
for something that's supposed to be a reference, this is too much to look at, it drives your user away from the site if there's too much text
btw hate to break the convo, but how would you check the difference?
Is this a more pleasant red color?
haha how do you create that
is there a template on a page or something
lmgtfy, yes
I get that this message wasn't meant for me but holy shit it made me remember about the HTML color picker that creates a color scheme for you

Do you think this is easier to look at?
(The color is probably going to change when I get to that)
just the pink
hurts
yeah I know
Better color?
yea
can someone fix my problem xD
its above
if i can get the difference of the days, how would i make it so a user has to be in the server for diffDays)?
it's a simple if check at this point
if it's 2 days or under, error out/return
fallow quiver
This is my script
if (message.content.startsWith (prefix + "startevent")) {
if (message.member.permissions.has('MANAGE_CHANNELS')) {
embed = new discord.RichEmbed ()
.setDescription ("**Begining an Event!**")
.setFooter ("*Please Wait A Moment Before Begining*")
.addField ("Server: " + message.guild.name, ":LoadBuffer:")
.setThumbnail (message.guild.iconURL)
.setColor ("#0086ff")
message.channel.send (embed)
var fs = require('fs')
fs.writeFile(message.guild.name + 'score.db', 'Hello!', function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Started Event!');
});
}
}
when I try to run the command it tells me ReferenceError: channel is not defined
It was running fin before I added the writeFile
modern elm
Does anyone know where i can find some good documentation or maybe a working tutorial on music commands?
earnest phoenix
in which language
fallow quiver
Ok, I took off the message.guild.name and it worked, but I want it to create a file that contains the server name so that each server has its own db file
modern elm
when you addfield
you are giving it an empty value
you are only setting the title
nvm
cant see it well on mobile
fallow quiver
It has nothing to do with the embed, that works
west spoke
@fallow quiver you will want to use server ID
say two servers had the same name
it would cross over if you used server name as the DB name
earnest phoenix
message.content.startsWith ('prefix + test'); {
if(message.author.bot) return;
const ms = require('parse-ms');
let date = new Date();
let mstime = message.member.joinedAt - date
if(ms(mstime).days < 2) {
message.channel.send({embed: {
color: 3447003,
description: `<@${message.author.id}>, this command may only be used by members who have been in this server for at least 2 days`
}});
}```for some reason no matter what the message says it still sends the 2 days message
could you please help
quartz kindle
message.member.joinedAt - date will always give you a negative number
because the current date is always bigger than a past date
earnest phoenix
thats fine
thats not my concern
im just trying to figure out why it respons to every message liket his
quartz kindle
because you are checking if a negative number is smaller than 2
and the answer is always yes
quartz kindle
what message?
quartz kindle
the code says it should respond to "prefix+test"
earnest phoenix
it doesn't, they don't have an if closure
quartz kindle
//correct
if(something) {
// do something
}
//you did
something; {
// do something
}```
weary lark
if (!something) return nothing;
close
quartz kindle
also, 'prefix + help' is not getting the actual prefix, its getting the literal text "prefix + help"
weary lark
yes
weary lark
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + 'help')) { poop; }
quartz kindle
also, dont put semicolons inside parentheses
weary lark
i mean winky face but lol
earnest phoenix
oh so switch it
quartz kindle
exactly
weary lark
yeah
quartz kindle
👍
weary lark
👍
earnest phoenix
ugh now i have a new issue with that exact code
when i switch the two variables
it comes up with ReferenceError: ms is not defined
doesn't crash or anything but still its annoying
weary lark
@earnest phoenix try going for a dark background and that header colour like #191919 or something, that discord blurple is good but shouldnt be used everywhere
earnest phoenix
I'll give it a shot
earnest phoenix
not a error
weary lark
oh
earnest phoenix
just a refernece error
weary lark
const ms = require('parse-ms');
unique nimbus
Where did you place it because it might not be getting seen
earnest phoenix
and i set it so that if you've been in the server longer than 00000001 days you can use the command
but it still sends the "you can only use this if you've been in the servr" err
west raptor
earnest phoenix
?
west raptor
const ms = require('ms'); should probably be at the top of the file
earnest phoenix
ok
unique nimbus
thonk
west raptor
what is it?
earnest phoenix
it sends the "you haven't been in the server for long enough" even though i made it I only have to be in it .000000001 day
west raptor
can you log ms(mstime).days?
earnest phoenix
sure
quartz kindle
did "true" show up in your logs?
quartz kindle
console.log(ms(mstime))
quartz kindle
days is rounded
west raptor
mstime is probably wrong
earnest phoenix
ohhhh
west raptor
oh
earnest phoenix
days is rounded
quartz kindle
@wheat jolt is the message cached?
wheat jolt
the bot restarted
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix please dont try to help when you dont understand lol
wheat jolt
so i don't think so
quartz kindle
messageReactionAdd only reacts on cached messages, unless you enable partials
quartz kindle
partials fire events containing incomplete data
amber fractal
raw events
quartz kindle
for example, discord sends you all events, regardless or caching status, but the library does not fire them if there is missing data
quartz kindle
if you enable partials, it will fire them with missing data, meaning the raction will only contain IDs and not full objects
v12 has an option to enable partials
in v11 it has to be done with the raw event iirc
amber fractal
Oh I didnt know master had an option
quartz kindle
yeah, although i dont know how exactly it behaves, since i havent used it
i graduated to using the raw event for everything lmao
unique nimbus
What is a good database to store users data which doesn't get suicidal
quartz kindle
any proper database?
unique nimbus
okay, what is easy to learn in your opinion
quartz kindle
for small applications, sqlite is great, everything else is overkill imo
unique nimbus
lmao
what if txt files with single characters in each file
I think that beats json anyway
quartz kindle
that will kill your drive lmao
unique nimbus
pff I downloaded 1M empty mp3 files
weary lark
why
quartz kindle
how big is your drive's cluster/sector size?
quartz kindle
ah well, a vps is probably running on a vm, so the data is probably written in a virtual file
quartz kindle
if it was in an actual disk, 1 million empty files would take 500mb+ on 512byte sectors and 64gb+ at 64k sectors
unique nimbus
lmao
quartz kindle
you can find sqlite tutorials anywhere, is 90% compatible with general SQL language
it also depends on which library/interface you use, so also check your library's docs
earnest phoenix
so i have a dilemna
im trying to set a description using ` around it so i can use <@${message.author.id}> function
but i want to have some of the text come up like this
how can i combine the two so it doesn't creash
earnest phoenix
hello hello
let me test
no it doesn't work
because it thinks that the ` to start the first part of text is the end of the length
so it crashes on it
unique nimbus
then make it "
earnest phoenix
than i cant use <@${message.author.id}> in it
to ping the person
because it only works in ` function
?
amber fractal
it's a lot easier if you show the code you need help with
amber fractal
escape it
earnest phoenix
how
amber fractal
put a \ before each one you dont want to be read by code
earnest phoenix
let me test
oh thanks
🙂
weird question but
const bot = new Discord.Client();
var prefix = ";";
const ms = require('parse-ms');
let date = new Date();
bot.on('message', async message => {
let mstime = date - message.member.joinedAt
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + 'nuke')) {
let messageArray = message.content.split(" ");
let cmd = messageArray[0];
let args = messageArray.slice(1);
if(message.author.bot) return;
console.log(ms(mstime))
if(ms(mstime).days < 2) {
message.channel.send({embed: {
color: 3447003,
description: `<@${message.author.id}>, this command may only be used by members who have been in this server for at least 2 days.`
}});
}
if(!args[0]){
message.channel.send({embed: {
color: 3447003,
description:`<@${message.author.id}>, you are incorrectly using this command.\n**Usage:** ;\`\`nuke <@user>\`\`\n**Example:** \`\`;nuke Ross#6821\`\``
}});
return;
}
}
}
);
is there a way to code it so i've "been" in my server for 2 days?
harsh nova
if you want to add javascript higlighting to your code so it is easier to understand, do
```js
code
```
earnest phoenix
just hoping someone can answer my questio
what do you mean by that
i mean
can i make a line in the code
that auto sets my days in the server as 2
so i dont have to wait
well, yes and no
y
you can't modify your actual data
oh
you can fake it though, check if the id of the message author matches your id
if it does, just skip the check altogether
yea
how would i do that
if closure
message author's id == your id
how
i told you how
if (Closure
what
quartz kindle
if(id of the message author equals your id) { do something }
grave pilot
Anyone know any good sharding methods to replace discord.js's built in one?
quartz kindle
do something can be anything, from faking data, to entirely skipping checks
i made my own sharding method
its not hard to make your own
grave pilot
It takes TIME
west spoke
So?
grave pilot
Might look in to it tho
grave pilot
Well that would work, how about autorespawning shards when going offline?
quartz kindle
use shard events and exit the process on error
make the master process respawn the process on exit
grave pilot
Give this guy some special role
modern elm
how do you make a library owo
quartz kindle
the same way you split your code into files
use exports/module.exports
and put the file on github
modern elm
oh wow
topaz fjord
and then u publish to npm and hope for the best
topaz fjord
im really annoyed that android studio doesn't create the build.gradle file with up to date deps
quartz kindle
you can
grave pilot
Tim, dm me the npm module of yours for pm2 sharding
valid frigate
same
grave pilot
Thaanks
valid frigate
wheeze
topaz fjord
djs-shenanigans
valid frigate
im debating over whether to shard via pm2 or some other method now
topaz fjord
tim is definitely an expert on naming
topaz fjord
so its like commando + whatever you added + discord.js
quartz kindle
- anti-caching
topaz fjord
i see
topaz fjord
get() afaik
valid frigate
so i assume your client doesnt use get()
quartz kindle
it uses both
earnest phoenix
fetch returns from cache if it is cached, otherwise it makes a request and puts it in cache iirc
topaz fjord
I thought get() was the default name for fetching items from cache
you learn something new everyday
quartz kindle
yes, get is from the cache only, fetch is from the cache with an api fallback
valid frigate
interesting
earnest phoenix
fetch is used mainly for when you have to get the user information
quartz kindle
i use get for checking if the cache exists tho
valid frigate
what is this ws option in the client options
quartz kindle
disable presence and typing events
topaz fjord
I usually do only fetch when item isn't in cache
quartz kindle
yes, that was the primary goal
to scale without worrying about ram/cpu
the rest is just stuff i usually use with my bots
valid frigate
interesting
im gonna do some tests using your client's options
oh yeah @quartz kindle should i be worried about the message cache lifetime being 1 day? or is there a reason behind that
quartz kindle
only commands are cached
valid frigate
ah ok
quartz kindle
messages containing commands and bot responses
valid frigate
right so
how do i only enable caching for commands and bot responses
i've been looking around and cant find a way to disable caching for other messages
earnest phoenix
hey so
im really bad at bot setup
and if anyone is willing to temp host a github bot
valid frigate
@quartz kindle mind helping me with this sorry for another ping lo
modern elm
so i know im gonna sound stupid for this
but
here goes
the way my cmd handler is set up is like so:
exports.help = async(bot, message, args){}
so what if i have a function
outside of the exports
but i want to reference bot
how would i do that?
quartz kindle
@valid frigate in the library or in general with code?
valid frigate
talking about djs specificall
just wanna know sorta
i have no idea how messages are cached so yeah
quartz kindle
disable the message event, use raw, check for prefix + command handler in the raw
modern elm
Tim you have big brain pls help?
valid frigate
raw has type any right
quartz kindle
if it passes all checks, i use messages.add()
there might be other ways as well
like using new Message()
quartz kindle
part of channel
modern elm
Tim pls :(
modern elm
but it returns as undefined
quartz kindle
how did you try it?
tight forum
knotty steeple
ok so
how do you use a .env file
is it not process.env.THING
because that aint working
earnest phoenix
hi
quartz kindle
there is no difference from an env file and a config file
its just how the file is used
fallow quiver
How do you specify a user so even if they change their name the bot will know who they are? I want to test if a certain user sends a message
Would I just use their ID?
fallow quiver
So How would I say That
message.delete(1000)
}
Is that correct or
Would I need to say
if (message.channel.id = <ID>) {
message.delete(1000)
}
am i understanding this correctly
if i listen for the message event on djs, the message is automatically cached before it gets passed to the callback?
quartz kindle
yes
valid frigate
how do i disable this from happening
tbh instead of listening to raw events im gonna try removing irrelevant messages from the cache insted
quartz kindle
you can disable message caching from the client options
