marsh frost
Thank both of y'all for the chat. I love communities that can bounce ideas/techniques off of each other.
mossy vine
lol you were just lucky and asked the question at the right time so you didnt get responses like "ew java"
marsh frost
Imagine saying 'ew java' 
That surely sounds like something, someone would say who doesn't know java 😛

Hello, my guildMemberAdd event (on d.js master) is not adding this role to the member.. it changes their nickname just fine meaning it has returned some data, but it completely skips the role adding part and gives no errors
module.exports = async (client, member) => {
const role = member.guild.roles.get("622954748148187138");
const data = await client.db.models.verify.findOne({
where: {
discord: member.id
}
});
if (data) {
member.roles.add(role);
const username = await client.rbx.getUsernameFromId(data.account);
member.setNickname(username);
} else {
member.send(`${member}, welcome to **RBX Trust**! To get started, you should verify your ROBLOX account with your Discord account... To do this, run the \`r.verify\` command! You can do this right here if you like!`).catch(() => null);
}
}

@earnest phoenix i might be wrong, but it could be member.addRole
earnest phoenix
thats on stable
earnest phoenix
make sure the role id is valid
small latch
earnest phoenix
@everyone
slim heart
Don’t shitpost in development
unkempt ocean
is client.users.size shows all users that bot can see?
earnest phoenix
it shows cached users
if you want a total member count, go through each guild and sum up their memberCount property
unkempt ocean
oh ok. Thanks
earnest phoenix
the role ID is valid for sure, it works when I eval that code, but not on the guildMemberAdd event for some reason
but it executes everything else in that event
its weird
vivid mortar
Is this where I can ask for help about discord.js
slim heart
Adding a role that doesn’t exist is the only thing that silently fails in that situation @earnest phoenix
Try and log the role to make sure
slim heart
Log in the code
vivid mortar
Someone suggested something in my bot and I’d like to reply
I have the message command
But I can’t find the channel
slim heart
Try and do .add(roleid) to see if it could be that
earnest phoenix
^
that did nothing, i logged the object this time too
can you try to eval adding the role to the member
the only other thing that comes to my mind is that it's erroring out due to permission/hierarchy errors but you aren't handling it properly
worked in eval
its not perms either
slim heart
You have latest version of master right?
slim heart
Strange
wet kite
member.roles.add(role); -> member.roles.add(role.id); - you didn't do .id for the one you sent above @earnest phoenix
slim heart
No he just typed in the role id I think?
earnest phoenix
slim heart
In the code
earnest phoenix
worked again
slim heart
Cuz we’ve proven that it works in eval
earnest phoenix
didnt work, but it still nicknames me without any issues, which is after the role add part
new code just to catch you up:
module.exports = async (client, member) => {
const data = await client.db.models.verify.findOne({
where: {
discord: member.id
}
});
if (data) {
member.roles.add("622954748148187138");
const username = await client.rbx.getUsernameFromId(data.account);
member.setNickname(username);
} else {
member.send(`${member}, welcome to **RBX Trust**! To get started, you should verify your ROBLOX account with your Discord account... To do this, run the \`r.verify\` command! You can do this right here if you like!`).catch(() => null);
}
}
Hm
earnest phoenix
its weird asf
slim heart
Ask in djs server
earnest phoenix
defo master too
slim heart
It was solved
quartz kindle
lmao i checked the djs server to see what was the problem, pretty funny

edit the role itself or assign to/remove from a member?
livid rivet
edit the role itself
slender thistle
By default, yes. 50 requests per 1 second, but I don't see why you would need a role that much
livid rivet
rainbow role

that's against the tos for discord

really? but why? if i keep it slow? thats why I asked here

Meh, even if it's slow, I still wouldn't suggest doing it
slender thistle
👍

tbh i really wasn't keen to do it, only when it would be okay anyhow
shut crow
I dont see an issue if the bots does some backend work on a timer though
ie. Updating databases
quartz kindle
updating databases usually does not affect the discord api
unless you're doing something like fetch messages or fetch users regularly
earnest phoenix
Yep fetching stuff calls api

You can use a basic filter, which would suck if they changed messages or some type of machine learning that is too complicated to teach for me.

i'm having trouble passing my database mysql connection to my event handlers
tried to follow arguments based on numeric input (e.,g. [1, 2, 3] and pass the same to the event [1, 2, 3]) yet my supposed database ends up "undefined"
quartz kindle
show code?
spark kelp
@tight forum _?
tight forum
hollow prawn
alright tim, 1 sec yet again
// the "index.js"
let db = mysql.createConnection({
host: "localhost",
user: "root",
password: "hydrabolt-is-bae",
database: "flserv"
});
bot.on("emojiUpdate", async (bot, oldEmoji, newEmoji, db) => {});
// the "event handler.js"
module.exports = async (bot, oldEmoji, newEmoji, db) =>
{
db.query(`SELECT serverLog FROM serverInfo WHERE serverID = '${oldEmoji.guild.id}'`, async (err, rows) => {
if (err) throw err;
let logYN = rows[0].serverLog;
});
console.log(logYN);
if (logYN == 'Y') {
//sum code here
}```sorry i cant actually understand whats wrong and what do u want to do
hollow prawn
just ignore it, you end up filling this channel with extra off-topic talk
spark kelp
Okay than let me tell u something you cant console.log(logYN) cause logYN is defined as let it means you cant use that variable out of defined scope.
hollow prawn
oh ye, that was because I was trying to pass it on from the index.js, so ignore that part
grave pilot
logYN is undefined becuase u are not defining it outside the scope
hollow prawn
that isn't the issue, the issue is my 'db' isn't being passed down by the arguments from the index.js file to the event handler file
@quartz kindle sorry for ping, something popped into mind, my "bot" is being binded to each event by the event handler with bot.on(eventName, event.bind(null, bot)); would binding the db thru that work? if yes, how should I proceed to use it?
stuck ravine
Hello ^^
twilit rapids
It would help a lot if you send the code that created that error
stuck ravine
twilit rapids
Are you sure that member is define correctly
spark kelp
use find instead of has | ^ check that too
delicate zephyr
stuck ravine
I already use Find and if it's a function
twilit rapids
Guys, has of undefined, so he is calling has on something that doesn't exist
twilit rapids
@stuck ravine are you sure rMember is defined as the member object and not e.g. as the user object
high lava
@hollow prawn I have something else for you to try
instead of js let db = mysql.createConnection({ host: "localhost", user: "root", password: "hydrabolt-is-bae", database: "flserv" });
do js bot.db = mysql.createConnection({ host: "localhost", user: "root", password: "hydrabolt-is-bae", database: "flserv" });
Then you don't need to pass db as it's own parameter
hollow prawn
ohh that does seem like a good idea it will indeed save me trouble since bot is already binded to the events
high lava
You'd simply do bot.db intead of db
Yeah
It'd be easier
Then all you need is js bot.on("emojiUpdate", async (bot, oldEmoji, newEmoji) => {});
hollow prawn
i'd have to change some other things here and there but that'll be alright
well i dont need bot there since its already binded as i said by the event handler
high lava
I think you may still need bot, but that's just what I do, but if not then yeah. Go ahead
hollow prawn
well in any case i'll keep it in mind if it ends up being undefined or something
dusky marsh
What is the ratelimit on changing a bot's display avatar, I cant find any information on it somehow
amber fractal
you cant find any info on it because almost all rate limits are dynamic
dusky marsh
yeah i just want a general sense of how often is a good idea
amber fractal
there's not really a hard set number you'll find. You need to use the x-rate-limit-remaining header that it returns
which most libs dont provide and apply automatically
but
avatar changing might be one of the hard set ones
@loud salmon I saw you typing what you gonna say
loud salmon
@amber fractal just because you see me typing does not mean I actually have anything to say. Its nothing against you but I personally fucking hate the fact that people meme typing notifications so much. I would turn them off in an instant if I could.
I also hate unwarranted pings
amber fractal
No I thought you were going to say something because maybe I was giving him wrong information
amber fractal
I know you probably know that stuff better than I do
sly parcel
I am trying to make my bot work with AutoRole so it will assign roles by keywords, but I just can't figure it out
so it will add role based on role like "Member" "Joinee" "User" etc
hollow prawn
you would want to tie those keywords to the role id's I think
warm marsh
Depending on the language could do a few things.
For instance djs, <Member>.guild.roles.find(r => /(member|join|user)/I.test(r.name));
Although no doubt going to get told otherwise by someone to not use regex because of some mad bullshit code injection or someshit.
marsh frost
I wish there was different development channels for different languages 😛
warm marsh
Its easier to have one.
marsh frost
Easier for you guys who use the more popular languages
marsh frost
Same, been trolling all day, seen no java haha
twilit rapids
There's no need for more, you can ask all questions here and if you need more detailed support you can go to the library's official server
marsh frost
oof was half-way joking.
warm marsh
Java is and some other languages seem to be rare in here, although people still use them just not really beginners therefore don't often need help.
Java and*
twilit rapids
smh Java /s
warm marsh
I watched your stream spider and it made me want to code in a more opp, strict language.
loud salmon
lol
marsh frost
loud salmon
strict lang best lang 
warm marsh
Yeah javascript seems so shit looking back to it.
marsh frost
I'm not near as proficient in js as I am in Java but the libraries like JDA are so robust, I don't see any reason to try another language for this use case
robust and well documented, half the questions I've seen here today just seem to be lack of documentation or how to find it, with a Java IDE you can just right click for documentation.
loud salmon
use catnip if you want to manage the cache and every other small thing in a java bot, use jda if you just want to make something that werks™
also you can do that in other ide's iirc
its just that more beginners use JS here
so they don't know where to find documentation
and go here for help
loud salmon
yes
scarlet phoenix
kotlin gang
loud salmon
never used catnip but i heard its alright

@scarlet phoenix kotlin more like javascript under the jvm
scarlet phoenix
Im mostly a java dev but have been loving me some kotlin

how so?
scarlet phoenix
more like java with better syntax lol
marsh frost
Same, I have been converting some code using IntelliJ and it's interesting
scarlet phoenix
Most of my projects now are like half and half

BETTER SYNTAX? Lol to me it's like lazy, shorthand, yet more efficient
marsh frost
err more productive I should say
loud salmon
yea kotlin meshes well with standard java code
marsh frost
That's very true
marsh frost
I haven't yet touched scala
loud salmon
the logo sure looks snazzy thats for sure 👀
scarlet phoenix
Ive been meaning to try scala, but still working out how to pronounce it
marsh frost
lmao

thought it was sca-la

i say sca - la

I am a bit new to express, but the res.redirect() is not actually redirecting but is refreshing the webpage instead and adding a question mark to the end
app.post("/search", async (req, res) => {
if (!req.body.username) return;
const id = await client.rbx.getIdFromUsername(req.body.username).catch(() => null);
if (!id) res.status(404).send({ message: "user does not exist on ROBLOX" });
return res.redirect(`/profile/${id}`);
});
eternal mesa
@earnest phoenix if i had to guess, it has something to do with the relative path you are currently on. what is the full endpoint for /search and the full endpoint for /profile/:id
valid frigate
how do i check for if a user is missing all permissions in a PermissionResolvable array?
right now it only checks if one is missing
eternal mesa
@valid frigate i assume djs
valid frigate
yes
e.g. ["SEND_MESSAGES", "ADMINISTRATOR"] would return true even without the client having administrator
.has is funny
valid frigate
oh hasPermission?
valid frigate
.has doesnt work if one of those permissions returns true
but .hasPermission worked
👌
valid frigate
id agree but
the description was "Checks if any of this member's roles have a permission"
eternal mesa
Checks whether the bitfield has a permission, or multiple permissions.
valid frigate
maybe because it was multiple permissions
eternal mesa
idk
valid frigate
if one was true it overrode the result
eternal mesa
glad it worked
eternal mesa
are you checking perms on the bot?
valid frigate
yeah
the bot as a user of the guild
member*
just saying though, dont need any additional help 
earnest phoenix
hey
do you guys know how to set permissions for a channel when created
like only a certain group can view

@earnest phoenix what lib

discord.js stable
fallow quiver
I've done a bit of research, but I couldn't find a good answer. How would I be able to use a database file to read and write variables per user? I have a command that can create and delete those files using the server ID to organize them, but I'm not sure how to go about writing the data to a file.
hushed berry
its pretty standard to use some kind of database to store that kind of data
fallow quiver
Is there a way for the bot to auto organize it using discord.js, like stringify for JSONs
hushed berry
If you were gonna go that route
youd probably just want to convert the object into a json string and write that string to the file
but again
this is just reinventing the wheel
fallow quiver
The idea is to have the bot create a file for each server that can store the score of each user during an event, even if the bot goes offline, the data is stored. When the event is ended, it will delete the file until a new event starts
quartz kindle
it is recommended to use a proper database for that
something like sqlite
if you absolutely wanna go the file storage route, then look at node's fs functions
fallow quiver
I'll look into it
It's going to be a small mostly private bot so I'm not concerned with having to many files and what not
quartz kindle
the problem is not about that
is that if you dont know what you're doing, you risk data loss
west spoke
^
hushed berry
and just generally reinventing the wheel
quartz kindle
json files are prone to corruption if not handled correctly
west spoke
^
hushed berry
people have been storing data for decades
fallow quiver
Would there be a simpler way to store the data when the bot goes offline
rather than using sqlite or node's fs
quartz kindle
node's fs is the simplest there is
quartz kindle
you cant get any simpler than that
fallow quiver
Let me do some reading
potent ivy
json files are prone to corruption if not handled correctly
speaking of which
const writeFileAtomic = require('write-file-atomically')
await writeFileAtomic('stats.json', JSON.stringify(stats, null, 2))```Would there be a simpler way to store the data when the bot goes offline
rather than using sqlite or node's fs
yeah... cant be simplier than node's fs man
fallow quiver
This is what I'm doing right now
if (message.content.startsWith (prefix + "startevent") || message.content.startsWith (prefix + "eventstart")) {
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.id + 'score.json', '', function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Started Event!');
});
}
}
if (message.content.startsWith (prefix + "endevent") || message.content.startsWith (prefix + "eventend")) {
if (message.member.permissions.has('MANAGE_CHANNELS'))
embed = new discord.RichEmbed ()
.setDescription ("**Ending the Event**")
.setFooter ("Thanks for Using Robonics Bot!")
.addField ("Event Ended For: " + message.guild.name, ":white_check_mark:")
.setThumbnail (message.guild.iconURL)
.setColor ("#0086ff")
message.channel.send (embed)
var fs = require('fs')
fs.unlink(message.guild.id + 'score.json', function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Event Ended!');
});
}
To clear the data easily
fallow quiver
Yeah
potent ivy
thats... a weird approach
and you have separate files for separate guilds? also weird apprach
fallow quiver
That way if a new event starts, the users get cleared and only people who are given a score will be included
potent ivy
why not one file with different guild ids as keys
i mean its gonna work probably but its weird af
fallow quiver
Idk
Seemed simpler at the time
Just to write the files as server IDs + score.json
And store the data under the user
potent ivy
as long as you handle it and dont try to read a file that doesnt exist i guess
fallow quiver
Yeah
potent ivy
in a way, if you are not gonna make use of any atomic write file fs modifications, this might actually be better, so it wont fuck up the entire "database", just one file
lol
fallow quiver
I might use variables or something so the bot knows if an event is going on for that ID and doesn't try to read nonexistant files
This is why I like coding, problem solving
quartz kindle
the most efficient way to use json files is to keep a copy of them in memory at all times
so instead of reading and writing all the time, you do one big read, then you only write
potent ivy
basically
you never want to actually read the file
except
let stats = require('../stats.json')
at the very start the the bot
fallow quiver
Ok
potent ivy
but i didnt see any file reading on your code anyways so /shrug
fallow quiver
Not yet
I need a way to read the file, turn it into a variable, and write the variable to the file under the user
With changes
quartz kindle
if you do the method we are proposing, you wont need to read the file at runtime
because you already have the variable in memory
potent ivy
you still gotta write it tho, but i guess if hes gonna keep the "as many files as guilds" approach, the corruption problem risk is whatever
fallow quiver
Send the error
west spoke
I think you may need a compiler
potent ivy
@fallow quiver
you probably want to put them all into some separate directory and read them at bot booting via something like this
glob.sync('./scores/*.json').forEach( file => {
let json = require( path.resolve( file ) )
scores[json.guild_id] = json
})
// assuming the guildidscore.json looks like this
{
"guild_id" : "406969205661892608",
"scores" : ...
}```wel dunno never did separate files that can get removed during bot uptime actually
fallow quiver
So are you saying when the bot starts to read the JSON and set a variable like score = message.channel.author + [data read from JSON]
potent ivy
you will probably run into tons of problems
fallow quiver
I might have to let the score reset when the bot goes offline
potent ivy
hard to tell without actually doing it since this apprach is not really normal
fallow quiver
But that would be a problem I decide to run a long term event
quartz kindle
its not a problem
potent ivy
I might have to let the score reset when the bot goes offline
correct mindset would be "reset when the bot goes online" actually, you can put some flag for long term events
quartz kindle
everytime your event is updated, you will write the update to those files
as a backup
then if your bot restarts, he will re-read them all
and continue from where it left
so your main data is always in memory, the files are just a backup
this is also known as caching
fallow quiver
If I decide to go for something like score = X can I do something like message.guild.id + message.author.id + "score" = X
fallow quiver
It might be an alternative to making files
potent ivy
its a json, you can nest objects and stuff
ah you want to make up name of a variable?
thats... a no
fallow quiver
But if I just need to store numeric data for now
quartz kindle
you can make a dynamically named variable
fallow quiver
There isn't any way to name a variable by something like that
quartz kindle
but its not really a good idea, it can get messy
potent ivy
especially with snowflakes tbh
fallow quiver
But since I'm just doing numeric values that should be easy right?
Then it can call on the data without reading a file
fallow quiver
So how would I write that
var message.guild.id + message.author.id + "score" = X
or
message.guild.id + message.author.id = X
Or are neither correct and I'm just dumb trying to look for over simplified solutions
quartz kindle
const database = {};
database[message.guild.id + message.author.id + "score"] = x```^ or this, assuming theres some real reason you want such keys
and this will fuck you up
when you want to list top user scores in a guild etc
and shit
so just do it like on my screenshot
fallow quiver
I just started this a few days ago and I think I picked an overambitious project
potent ivy
with my approach you can just loop through keys in certainGuildStats[guild_id] and have a list of top users
assuming thats something you'd want to have
potent ivy
// start of the document
let stats = {} // or let stats = require('stats.json')
// initialize guild (only once)
stats[message.channel.guild.id] = {}
// ...
let certainGuildStats = stats[message.channel.guild.id]
// add some members' score to the guild
certainGuildStats[message.author.id] = 5
certainGuildStats["292867854464843781"] = 15
certainGuildStats["146935827119865856"] = 15
this would produce a stats object (that can be saved to stats.json):
{
"246333358987018250": {
"153942038138585088": 5,
"292867854464843781": 15,
"146935827119865856": 15
}
}```its not overambitious, its just logistics, think about how you want your data structure to look like, and code accordingly
you just need to learn how to think in a logistical way
its a great learning experience
fallow quiver
Every time I think I have it worked out I over think it or rethink it and I just try a different approch
quartz kindle
tell that to all projects ive rewritten countless times lol
potent ivy
i do have some old code that "works" but i could rewrite it in like 10 different ways and each one of them would be 10x better
that just happens when you javascript at first
quartz kindle
everyone goes through that, you do something, rethink it, and figure out things you havent thought about before, and you redesign it, and improve it
fallow quiver
Yeah when I first started my bot I used some example code but I restarted because I didn't like the way it was done
potent ivy
improving old code be like
fallow quiver
Ok @potent ivy I put in your code using a test command
if (message.content.startsWith (prefix + prefix + "test")) {
// start of the document
let stats = {}
// initialize guild (only once)
stats[message.channel.guild.id] = {}
// ...
let certainGuildStats = stats[message.channel.guild.id]
// add some members' score to the guild
certainGuildStats[message.author.id] = 5
certainGuildStats["292867854464843781"] = 15
certainGuildStats["146935827119865856"] = 15
}
and got this error when I typed it in chat
}
^
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
Wait
Am I Stupid
I thought it said missing } after augment list and I read it several times
But where does it go
potent ivy
you want to store stats variable though
not initialize it everytime you start the command
fallow quiver
Ah
potent ivy
and you want to initialize the guild only if it wasnt initialized already
cause if you do it, its gonna wipe the scores
fallow quiver
I am pretty dumb at the moment
potent ivy
something like
// this initializes the guild object only if it doesnt exist in the stats obj
if (!stats[message.channel.guild.id]) stats[message.channel.guild.id] = {}```
should be enough tbhbut yeah if you put the let stats ={} somewhere else, out of any bot events etc, and replace your initialization line with the one i wrote just now, you should have yourself already a working database of member's scores per guild
just save the stats to some file at the end and there u go
fallow quiver
I’ll work on it, I have to do something right now but thanks for the help. I’ll save this all to notes or something
fallow quiver
That way it won’t work unless stats.json exists
potent ivy
why wouldnt it exist?
fallow quiver
I don’t know
potent ivy
make stats.json file and put {} inside
fallow quiver
I have
potent ivy
its gonna have all your guilds, members and their scores
and just never delete that file lol
fallow quiver
So I shouldn’t need any other files because everything will be in the JSON
potent ivy
if some event ends or whatever you can just do stats[message.channel.guild.id] = {} again to "soft wipe" the guild's data
yeah
fallow quiver
Cool, this is much easier than whatever I thought up

But why?

console.log(res)
const logChannel = res.get('guildBanAdd')

if (logChannel === null) {
return;
} else {
client.channels.get(logChannel).send(gBanEmbed)
}

spark kelp
is there any way or tool to calculate regex match time ? | i mean i have an badword list and i want to know all how much take compare all words
loud salmon
uh
probably very small
but what you can do is create a variable that stores the epoc time when the badword finder starts checking
and then create a variable of another epoc time
then compare the 2
epoch1 = system.getEpoch()
//put code checker stuff here
epoch2 = system.getEpoch()
result = epoch2 - epoch1
probably wont be more than a few ms difference
unless your bad word list is unfathomably large

The guild matching the ID when using guild.id is in the table

I don't know why I have been getting this error, all my other events fire perfectly fine using this same method of getting info from the db

But res shouldn’t be null
It isn’t null

quartz kindle
Yes, a reducer is the best way to do it, but reducer functions are a bit hard to understand for beginners
Do you know how array.reduce() works?
quartz kindle
Reduce loops over all items and combines them into a single value
You need to specify how the reducer should process it, by giving it a function and an initial value
For example .reduce(function(result,item) {}, initial result)
Or using arrow functions .reduce((result,item) => {},initial result)
unkempt ocean
its bit much for me. Going to research . Thanks for help again

scarlet phoenix
quartz kindle
@ornate shoal 90% of a bot's bandwidth is caused by typing and presence updates
there is a way to completely disable them, but doing so also disables member-related updates
such as member join, member update and member delete
if your bot doesnt have welcome messages or other member-related events, you can disable it and save ~90% of your bandwidth costs
young forge
@grizzled valley js
ornate shoal
Thanks, I'll look into disabling those
quartz kindle
i dont know which libraries already support disabling it, discord.js does not at the moment (because it may cause other problems)
you need to disable it at the ws level, using guild_subscriptions = false in the ws options
amber fractal
Easy, just delete the source code

I'm using discord.net
and the code is still pretty bad but I'm refactoring most of it, so I'll look into it

[discord.py] how to see uptime?
earnest phoenix

just use datetime
slender thistle
right after declaring bot/client, add another property to the bot variable (e.g bot.uptime)
then, when needed, you would subtract current time from the time when the bot variable was declared
slim heart
is this a good way of doing it?
const Client = require("discord-tag");
let client = new Client()
// Add a prefix
.addPrefix("!")
// Set a log function
.setLog(console.log)
// Add a command
.addCommand("commandname", "command response")
// Add a command using a function
.addCommand("commandname2", (message, send) => {
send("Yada");
})
// Add a command that deletes the invoking message
.addCommand("commandname3", "command response", true)
// Log in and start the bot
.login(YOUR_BOT_TOKEN);```fine ill ask here im scared tho

its a tag bot library im making

compare ids, not objects
let vUser = message.mentions.members.first() || message.guild.members.get(args[0]);
if (!vUser) return message.channel.send(embed41);
if (vUser.id === message.author.id) return;```rewrote it a bit
sudden geyser
<GuildMember>.id does not exist in discord.js to my knowledge

I'd suggest using an alternative method like using regex and grabbing ids/ids from mentions then checking if the member or user is fetched for cache purposes.

it does exist

earnest phoenix
I did have one more question but it's quite a big one/noobish question
idle basalt
thats fine
earnest phoenix
basically, at the moment I have the bot write in a seprate channel who voted for who
west spoke
^
earnest phoenix
how would i have the bot store that information in a json file?
west spoke
just write values to it
idle basalt
json as db isnt preferable
earnest phoenix
what would be?
idle basalt
but if you want to do that, use the built in fs module to write to a file
a db lol
writing to files can get very messy so for any type of non-static storage its typically recommended to use a database
theyre designed specifically to store dynamic data
earnest phoenix
oh i dont mind i dont store much
earnest phoenix
how woul.d i go about that?
idle basalt
const fs = require('fs');
fs.writeFile('yourfilename.json', 'stufftowrite', console.log)```let me try'
idle basalt
if you plan on making multiple writes, it will be easier to use writeFileSync
earnest phoenix
yes i do
idle basalt
const fs = require('fs');
fs.writeFileSync('file.json', 'anything you want');
fs.writeFileSync('file.json', 'more stuff you want');```fileSync will block the execution of further code until it finishes (i think)
https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html these are the docs for fs (native file system module)
basically everything you need for file interaction will be in here
earnest phoenix
im really having trouble with this ...
how would i have it log js message.mentions.users.first() + " has been voted by " + message.author
idle basalt
need to newline
also no spaces before js
lol'
right now youre writing two huge objects
earnest phoenix
yea
idle basalt
no newline before js
earnest phoenix
who cares lol
idle basalt
just for next time
idle basalt
do you just want their names or do you want their entire object
make that the second argument
earnest phoenix
i kinda want it so like
{"472510930949767197":{"votes: 1}}
or like the vote count
idle basalt
fs.writeFileSync('file.json', JSON.stringify({ [message.author.id]: { votes: 1 } });
earnest phoenix
let me see one sec
idle basalt
you can concatenate strings if you like but personally id just use JSON.stringify() on a normal object
you can build the object before you put it into the function if you want it to look a bit cleaner (especially when you get more data)
youll have to append the file every time though, which will be more difficult
honestly you want a database
earnest phoenix
yea but i only need to have it store for like 1 day
and then it gets reset
if this doesnt work ill get one
@idle basalt how do i make the votes increase if you get voted again?
idle basalt
im not gonna write the whole program for you 🌚
earnest phoenix
haha okay 🙂
idle basalt
first you read the file, then you change the part you need, then you write that new change

async function guildBanAdd(guild, user) {
const res = await Guild.findOne({ where: { id: guild.id } })

.setAuthor(user.username, user.displayAvatarURL({ format: "png" }))

}
I have found res to be null that is why it is erroring the big question is why is it null. Though it shouldn’t be because the guild is in the table it exists so the question is why is it returning null
idle basalt
again, a database would make this significantly easier (harder to set up if youre a beginner but definitely easier once youre going)
lusty dew
My db is being a bitch
idle basalt
what is Guild
lusty dew
Returning null when it isn’t supposed to
const { Guild } = require('../library/seq_db.js')
I’m using sequelize btw
Not mongodb
lusty dew
Idk what you mean by the last one but give me a sec and I’ll show you the whole file
quartz kindle
if you prevent it from possibly being triggered by a dm
lusty dew
That is possible with guildBanAdd?
quartz kindle
not from the event, but if you run that function on a manual ban command and some weirdo tries to run the command in dms
quartz kindle
something like that yes
lusty dew
Pretty sure I restrict commands to guild only
quartz kindle
then the only other possibility is that the guild is not in the database
is it a known guild or a recently added guild?
fervent pilot
Hello how would I make a command that changes the prefix and stores the prefix I am making a public bot
lusty dew
Other events run fine using the same method of retrieving info from the db
const { Guild } = require('../library/seq_db.js')
const Discord = require('discord.js')
const moment = require('moment')
module.exports.load = client => {
client.on('guildBanAdd', guildBanAdd)
}
module.exports.unload = client => {
client.removeListener('guildBanAdd', guildBanAdd)
}
async function guildBanAdd(guild, user) {
const res = await Guild.findOne({ where: { id: guild.id } })
const logChannel = res.get('guildBanAdd')
console.log(logChannel)
const gBanEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setAuthor(user.username, user.displayAvatarURL({ format: "png" }))
.setDescription(`${user.username} was just banned`)
.setThumbnail(user.displayAvatarURL({ format: "png" }))
.addField('Time ', moment.duration(Date.now()).format("MM/DD/YY | HH:mm:ss"))
.setColor("BLURPLE")
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter(client.user.username, client.user.displayAvatarURL({ format: "png" }))
if (logChannel === null) {
return;
} else {
client.channels.get(logChannel).send(gBanEmbed)
}
}
That is my whole file
idle basalt
use a database to store the prefix values for each guild
earnest phoenix
ahhh, it can't write more than one message in a json file for some reason
idle basalt
and then in your command, find the correct guilds prefix and change it
fervent pilot
Would mongo db work
idle basalt
sure
quartz kindle
@lusty dew try to log guild along with res
earnest phoenix
@idle basalt how come it won't write more than one message in the json file?
drowsy sentinel
mongo db is a little slow compared to other databases, but it works just fine for 90% of the time. You only really need SQL in high-end bots, or in bots that do a lot of writing/reading data.
idle basalt
i cant tell you that without seeing your code
lusty dew
Mongodb was becoming too slow
amber fractal
uh
idle basalt
you
amber fractal
I've never had issues with mongo
earnest phoenix
its the code you sent

I hope you're not reading/writing in megabytes a day. 
@lusty dew
idle basalt
well it only writes that one line because thats all youre putting in
idle basalt
its just a normal js object
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix fs writes whole files at once, so you need to read the file, edit it and write the whole file back at once
idle basalt
you can add as much as you need
earnest phoenix
but its worked with tther bots
im getting really frustrated with this lol
i dont know how to do it
quartz kindle
do you understand how json works?
earnest phoenix
yes
lusty dew
I didn’t even know that
quartz kindle
so json is an object in text format
lusty dew
I just knew how Json worked
quartz kindle
object = {key:value}
json = "{key:value}"
i just dont know how to be able to save it on there
quartz kindle
json is an object represented as plain text
earnest phoenix
because, if i need to rewrite the whole file,
how would i have it sync from what was in there before
to be in too?
idle basalt
there is appendFile
quartz kindle
once you understand how json works
you understand what you need to do
you need to do the following
assuming you already have a json file
earnest phoenix
yes
lusty dew
Tim I logged guild and got the guild object
quartz kindle
- read the json file
- convert the json text into an object
- edit the object, add/remove/modify values
- convert the object to json again
- write the json data to file
quartz kindle
nothing works after you defined res?
