can you fetch a message written before your bot joined a server

peak bloom Oct 8, 2019, 5:51 PM

yes

#

you can fetch any message that hasn't been deleted if you have read message history permission in the channel

Channel for chatting about (bot) development. If you have questions, ask the questions and wait for someone who can answer to help you. Do not ask to ask. Provide all possible information so people know what's up. Just saying "I get an error" doesn't give us enough information on your problem. Do not @mention people randomly.

#

yes

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

don't think i'll ever get to used to that

#

gg TLDs are cool tbh

#

big oof if they ever drop the discordbots name

#

dbl is very inconsistent with it

#

they call themselves discord bots, discord bot list etc

#

but no one googles top.gg bots

#

decision to move to top.gg was probably to avoid confusion with other lists and to stop the inconsistency

#

the domain doesn't have to include bot(s) to appear on google search results

mossy vine Oct 8, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

and also to expand beyond discord

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

plus dbl is a sellout so they have adsense placed all over the website, which means that it'll get ranked higher in searches related to discord bots

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

what approach would you guys to suggest for fetching an integer from a message mixed into a sentence

#

an example could be "342632 hey guys what up"

eternal mesa Oct 8, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

And you just want the integer I assume?

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

yeah

eternal mesa Oct 8, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

Some sort of regex

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

just found this

#

var thenum = thestring.replace( /^\D+/g, '');

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

Regex all characters that arent numbers

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

i guess that would turn "342632 hey guys what up" into 342632

#

however i fear cases that would be something like

eternal mesa Oct 8, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

Pretty sure that removes all numbers

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

"23546 how are you guys doing 2day"

eternal mesa Oct 8, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

But don’t quote me on that because my knowledge of regex is very bad

hushed berry Oct 8, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

yeah, replace probalby isnt the thing you wanna do

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

Can you split by regex mmulu

#

Wait that'd be dumb

hushed berry Oct 8, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

just split by whitespace and iterate until one parses to a number bloblul

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

You'd have a bunch of elements of nothing

#

Lol

quartz kindle Oct 8, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

if you dont use the g flag, regex will only match the first occurence

#

so you can search for the first occurence of a number

#

regardless of its length

#

although its a bit tricky

hushed berry Oct 8, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

It gets way more complicated if you want to support users adding commas or decimals

cobalt umbra Oct 8, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

Yes you can get all words that are integers look it up

#

It's not healthy to know regex by hearth usually people look it up on google to refresh memory

what

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:51 PM

what is your logic even

#

following that, knowing anything by heart makes you not sane

#

thats. not exactly the same

cobalt umbra Oct 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Do you even know what kind of a mess regex is and what kind of a monster regex you can make??

mossy vine Oct 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

and do you think they memorize it?

#

some parts, yes

cobalt umbra Oct 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

That's my point

#

If you know that by hearth it's scary

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

if you work with regex a lot, you're bound to memorize how it works

#

i still don't get your point

@quartz kindle you @ d me earlier, can you help me out?

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

@sudden geyser but how would i just iterate till the first non bot msg ?

#

wouldn't want to waste resources iterating every single msg

sudden geyser Oct 8, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

You can use the find method if you only need one item.

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

hmm

#

so i want the first non bot msg

#

if that makes sense

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272764566411149314/631238123585667072/unknown.png

#

so msg.last() gives me the 2nd last msg

#

if i use the find method

#

wouldn't it just return the current msg ?

#

📎 unknown.png

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

are you aware how find works @earnest phoenix ?

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

i think so ?

#

in this context, if i make the filter ( must be a non bot msg) it returns the first non bot msg ?

#

but that would just return the first message

#

but i want the last non bot msg excluding the very last one

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

so you want the last bot message that isnt the very last one?

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

the last non bot message that isn't the very last one

#

@amber fractal

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

filter out all the bot messages then get the middle index

#

well you'll need an array of the keys

#

(if you dont know where to start, d.js collections extend Maps)

#

better yet, you can just get an array of the entries that are left

#

no need for the key part I was talking about

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

another thing

#

when i write "var+1"

#

how do i make js treat it as an int

#

instead of as a string

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

parseInt()

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

that works if i store it in another var

#

i have something like

#

if(n = var+1)

#

if my var = 0, var+1 return "01"

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 11:07 PM

parseInt(var) + 1 https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/4vjsod_1653.png

ahh ok

#

#

i used

parseInt(var+1)

then parses it

Why not just await messages if that's what you're trying to do

#

I was under the impression you just wanted to fetch messages regardless

earnest phoenix Oct 8, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

the code i have right now isn't optimal either

#

there are some cases where if the 2nd last msg is from a bot that can mess the code up

amber fractal Oct 8, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

I'm really not sure exactly what you want, but you can check this out if you want to get a message from a user that is a number https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/TextChannel?scrollTo=awaitMessages but I have to go

Discord.js

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

#

@earnest phoenix additions and subtractions are sequential

#

Therefore: "a" + "b" + 1 + 1 = "ab" + 1 + 1 = "ab1" + 1 = "ab11"

#

If you want to resolve the 1+1 first, just put it in parenthesis

#

"a" + "b" + (1 + 1)

#

Parenthesis are always resolved first, just like in math, so the above resolves to "a" + "b" + 2

is it possible to connect to discord multiple times at once with the same bot token? im just mulling over easy ways to shard or cluster my bot.

#

i know i'd then need to mutex the sessions, so that every instance doesnt respond at once, that much is obvious

#

but thats trivial if i can just connect multiple instances at once and then have a first-come-first-served mutexed queue for processing commands

modern sable Oct 9, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

There's a easy way for discord.js IIRC

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

im not using discord.js, but i might go rtfs on that one

#

i was never really a fan of node

modern sable Oct 9, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

i'm pretty sure that there are easy ways for other langs/libraries aswell

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

the library im using is old and unsupported. im thinking of changing it

modern sable Oct 9, 2019, 11:13 AM

#

which language do you use?

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:13 AM

#

luckily that wouldnt take me long, the bit of my code thats dependent upon the library is only 150 lines, the rest is abstracted

#

php, with team-reflex/discordphp from composer

#

but thats just a simple interface module that interfaces with a protocol-independent backend written in perl, i won't have to touch that bit luckily 🙂

#

if it discordphp doesnt support any form of sharding/clustering out of the box, that would be a final nail in its coffin for me imho, ive already found that presence updates are plain broken

modern sable Oct 9, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

using discordphp is probably going to be difficult

#

especially if it's no longer being updated

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:18 AM

#

there was mention of a replacement that is maintained

#

what im finding with discord is that the majority of libraries in any language imitate the structure of the underlying api

#

so the function names, objects, member variables etc are the same or extremely similar between them, makes migration easy

#

thats not been the case with other api's and libraries ive worked with over the years

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:20 AM

#

you want to shard, or to separate functions by processes?

#

discord allows up to 1000 logins per day from the same token, at 1 login per 5 seconds

#

if you cant find a library that does what you want, it shouldnt be hard to modify the login script, all you need to do is specify sharding information in the identify packet that is sent to discord

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

i was just thinking of doing what i would with a webapp, a mysql database cluster, redis for transient data, and multiple frontend processes connected to discord via bot credentials

#

with some sort of marshalling to make sure only one instance handles any given request

#

worth mentioning that i only have three locations where i could put instances

#

not dozens, but three and three hundred are basically the same if done properly

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:26 AM

#

if the request is coming from discord, then it will only be sent to the specific process managing that shard

#

so there shouldnt be much need for marshaling

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

isnt that specific process a single point of failure?

#

or does one particular instance take up that responsibility, and another take over if it goes down?

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:27 AM

#

no, each process is responsible for a given shard, containing a given amount of guilds. if the shard fails, those guilds fail, but other shards and guilds remain operational

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:28 AM

#

ah ha.

#

so i cant have multiple instances responsible for the same guilds? that way a failure is transparent

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:28 AM

#

you can

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

sounds like theres going to be a big "but"

#

😉

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

not really

#

you can tell discord exactly which shard to you want to login to

#

so you can have multiple processes logging it to the same shard

#

if your goal is redundancy

#

then yes, you will receive duplicated requests

#

this is actually one of my methods for developing discord bots

#

i have a copy of my token running on an nwjs instance on my home pc

#

but then if you start sharding

#

its the same as running disks in raid 0+1

#

you have 4 processes managing 2 shards

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:32 AM

#

right now my only instance is on my home server, a dell T310 in the utility room... its stable enough for now but i have a dedicated server in poland and a vps in london i really should be considering expanding onto

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:32 AM

#

a single machine can handle over 100k guilds in my opinion

#

but you can also split across machines

#

the problem then is sharing data such as total guild information

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:33 AM

#

yeah, i dont have a problem with performance, its just redundancy... the weak link in my chain is the domestic internet, fast enough but no real SLA

#

if it goes down, no bot

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:33 AM

#

yeah, then a vps is an easy fix for that

#

any vps network is realiable ehough that more failures will come from discord itself than from your network lol

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:35 AM

#

true lol

#

my vps is kind of underused

#

i got my dedicated server for anything that really needs grunt, the vps i pay $5 for and all thats on it is an ircd

#

ive been thinking of getting rid of the dedi though, hosting bills for it are a bit rediculous

#

like £70 a month

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

my bot is on a 3$ vps and i havent had any problems

#

currently on 1600 guilds

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

my bot's on ...one guild. my own 🙂 i only just decided to make it public yesterday

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

ahah cool

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:37 AM

#

its based off an irc bot thats been running for near 20 years

#

with a database of over 1 million facts, inspired by infobot

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:37 AM

#

#

are you using the discord websocket or only running on the rest api?

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:37 AM

#

websocket

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:38 AM

#

the biggest performance impact is the websocket with guild subscriptions enabled (default)

#

and even then, 1600 guilds with it enabled only use 5-7% of a 3$ vps's cpu

#

with it disabled its 1% cpu lol

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:38 AM

#

to be honest im the sort of person where if i had performance issues i'd rewrite it in C++

#

not sure if theres a C++ discord api client though

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

there should be

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

that would probably be overkill

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

but im running on node.js and it already gives me a very good performance

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

if javascript can do it, C++ is definitely overkill

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

imagine in c++ lul

#

depending on your needs, disabling guild subscriptions is a godsend

#

the only side effect is that you wont receive guild member join/leave packets

#

i really hope discord fixes it tho

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

what is guild subscription?

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

im pretty sure its an unintended effect

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

i dont know too much about the api right now, only what i see as the interface to it from whatever library i use

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:41 AM

#

guild subscriptions is an option the api gives you when connecting to the websocket

#

its mainly responsible for sending TYPING and PRESENCE updates

#

but unfortunately it also affects other packets at the moment

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

Presence and typing events get dispatched from guilds that your bot is a member of. For many bots, these events are not useful and can be frequent and expensive to process at scale.

#

ah

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

if you disable during login, you wont receive those packets at all

#

and those packets account for like 90% of the websocket traffic

#

the bombardment is absurd

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

i saw those already, discordphp had a bug in the presence message that was causing warnings, i was seeing them like every minute

#

so theyre being emited to me, i havent done anything to unsub from them atm

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:43 AM

#

yes they probably are

#

after i disabled it, my bot's network usage dropped like 90%

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

hmm, ive found the code for identification, let me read the docs and see if i can shoehorn unsubscribing from the guild events in there

#

well that isnt simple at all.

#

is it right that if i turn it on, i dont get any info on nicknames of guild members?

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:50 AM

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:52 AM

#

Their nicknames should be sent with guildcreate packets, i guess disabling it also strips them from there

#

But messages still contain member information

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

hmm

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 11:53 AM

A workaround it to get the nickname from a message pacjet

Thats what i did on mi e

#

Ie: nicknames are only updated when they send new messages

const items = new Map();

for(const i of Object.keys(database)) {
  items.set(database[i].name, database[i].details);
}

    {
    "name": "thisitem",
    "details": {
      "aliases": ["thatitem"],

I've been stuck on this for awhile, basically I need to do a check for the aliases section, I know I check if the map contains the name (items.has("thisitem")) but I need to check if the map has one of the aliases, without the name of the item, so for example doing items.has("thatitem") but it obviously doesn't work, what should I be doing to check for the alias, without knowing the name first hand

#

the json bit is just a snippet of the full thing

#

I've also tried doing things like database[i].aliases or .details.aliases, without working results

#

discordjs btw

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Map has a .forEach that you can use, however that is not really ideal for your case

#

If you're using discord.js, you could use a collection instead, which give you more appropriate features such as .find()

Hey guys, I'm really desesperate, can someone help me?I got so depressed trying to do this...

We are building a discord server to Build Viral, Techy "3Dprinted" buildings& interiors

"How to create a verification of identity and role on the server, like Suite7A server for example?

I want to have a bot , after people assign the roles, to see if they have some proof that they are really the roles they subscribed for, as in architects, engineers, etc,on my server, with a custom message for each one, do you know how to do this?if not, they would just be assigned to an extra "student" role ,apart from the role that they choose. And the ones who are verified, would appear first on the online list." DM me please if you can help me

quartz kindle Oct 9, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

How would you automate such a verification process? Sounds like something that should be manually verified, for example have interested members submit an application and manually verify their knowledge and give them the role

#

Unless you devise some sort of test lol, but tests can be leaked/cheated

If I can run node.js I can host a bot

rancid knoll Oct 9, 2019, 3:58 PM

@quartz kindle check suite 7a (sent you an invite link) yes it would be a manually verified but the bot would ask for specific details, I don't want to msg people always with a personalized msg for each role

My eval command is 50 lines and I don't have to bother starting up a new client anytime I want to view a quick response.

@trim saddle Mind printing track in that loop?

west spoke Oct 9, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

And @shy glen I agree. Mine is around 60-70 (different types of evals, customcommand evals, etc) and having all that would be hard to convert.

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

The language my bot core is coded in, I have to be careful about unintended evals e.g. even a regex can contain shell commands if you don't watch out

trim saddle Oct 9, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

alright

green kestrel Oct 9, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

Never mind intentionally adding one

shy glen Oct 9, 2019, 6:00 PM

Most of those lines are the actual command definition itself, to run it it's 20 lines really.

slender thistle Oct 9, 2019, 6:00 PM

Looking at Spotify response format and your code I don't really understand how anything can be None for you lul

west spoke Oct 9, 2019, 6:01 PM

yeah, but separating certian parts, checking for client.http.token, all that takes about 15 lines total

@warm marsh if its 2 seconds of sync code, yes

If its just 2 seconds of waiting, then no

Like waiting for a promise, http request, external command

#

2 seconds of sync code would make your entire bot unresponsive util the command is completr

warm marsh Oct 9, 2019, 6:50 PM

It's like 2 seconds of running. I call the command it does all the things, E.g. validate link or search for a video with the provided args then joins channel then plays music.

Recommendation for action? The 'Luca' bot sent me the notification "Reason: Your bot has a command (logware help) that sends a message to every online member in the server. This is considered to be API abuse. please fix this before you re-submit." But after we reviewed the code we could not find any reference to code that sends messages to all users in the bot we submitted. How do we find out more about this report OR do I just resubmit and risk getting flagged as a spammer?

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 6:19 AM

#

does the discord api have any built in rate limiting, throttling or flood control?

#

or will it just let your bot spam with imunity until someone kicks it?

#

if the answer is "yes", they have some intelligent queing and i cant get banned for someone elses abuse, that saves me a lot of effort. otherwise im going to have to port some perl code.

weak parrot Oct 10, 2019, 6:20 AM

#

Discord does have buildin rate limiting yes

#

Granted it is recommended to try and not hit API/library ratelimits in the first place.

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 6:21 AM

#

ah, so there are still limits i should avoid, ok

#

on the irc side of my bot, there is a socket maximum throughput which i have set at a couple of kb/sec, would something like that suffice on the discord side, or does it have to be smarter?

#

https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits <-- these still up to date?

Discord Developer Portal

Discord Developer Portal — API Docs for Bots and Developers

Integrate your service with Discord — whether it's a bot or a game or whatever your wildest imagination can come up with.

weak parrot Oct 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

Well one thing I'd recommend avoiding is setting a bots playing status faster then 12 seconds since that's the official limit but many (if not all) libraries allow you to set status which change faster then 12 seconds.

Besides that idk many bots just make custom cooldowns with different cooldown periods depending on the command. Granted not all bots have custom cooldowns/ratelimits as its technically not required.

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

(which is why i asked, rather than google, api docs in general are known for being outdated usually)

weak parrot Oct 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

Pretty sure it is yeah

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

ok, that ones sorted as right now i only set the presence once as part of the identify

weak parrot Oct 10, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

But each library pretty much has their own ratelimits

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

the library im using is very primitive. it wasn't you i was talking with yesterday was it about guild_subscriptions?

weak parrot Oct 10, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

No it wasn't. I personally don't talk all that often in development since most people ask for help with languages I have never used

if im asking here im generally asking more generic questions, i dont expect anyone else to know perl or be using php

#

seems the majority here are using node.js and python

#

seems the actual rate limits arent published there

#

just a discussion of the headers where theyre contained

#

im guessing the discord dev team just adjust them as and when depending on whats hurting performance of their server farm

#

or maybe even automatically adjusted based on cpu usage and traffic, shrug

i need last message sent in a channel discord.js

no one..

languid dragon Oct 10, 2019, 7:53 AM

#

you didn't really give any details....

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 8:02 AM

#

what's the markdown formatting for those funky looking block quotes that bots seem to send for help, with a coloured bar down the left hand side

#

im not sure what theyre called

#

are they 'embeds'?

languid dragon Oct 10, 2019, 8:06 AM

#

yes

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 8:06 AM

#

Still have a prefix problem : 1 character is fine, 2 crashes the bot
Why? (using discord.js)

languid dragon Oct 10, 2019, 8:07 AM

@sick cloud No real reason tho just wanted to check it out

two diffrent set of commands running in two diffrent scripts

not overlapping each other

why though

small prairie Oct 10, 2019, 8:36 AM

#

idk

#

WHy asking so much questions

#

If i can okay nvm then

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 8:38 AM

#

your ratelimit handling is going to be messed up

#

it's not suggested to run two instances of your bot at the same time

#

they aren't aware of eachother's ratelimits, which can make your bot token hit the actual discord ratelimit often and get you API banned

#

wouldnt the bots token restart?

#

no

#

the bot token gets reset by discord if you spam the gateway

#

aka log in and log out about a thousand times in a day

small prairie Oct 10, 2019, 8:52 AM

#

@earnest phoenix temp banned for 10mins i remember

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 8:52 AM

#

the api ban is one hour

small prairie Oct 10, 2019, 8:52 AM

#

Oh

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 8:53 AM

#

is there serious money to be made with 'premium' versions of discord bots, or is it generally "beer money" amounts?

#

anyone got a concrete answer on that

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 8:54 AM

#

i mean, there's only money it if it's a music bot

#

""premium bots"" are hosted on a different higher performance server

#

which means less usage, faster

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 8:54 AM

#

but they would cost a ton to host, due to bandwidth, and could lose subscribers whenever youtube change their api in a hostile way

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 8:54 AM

#

music bots like rythm easily make up for it with patreon

#

low guild count bots which offer a ""premium version"" are often hosted on the same server as is the regular bot

#

because their owners are stupid and want clout

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 9:00 AM

#

ah 🙂

#

i was considering offering a premium of my own bot, but the premium would be exactly that, a standalone instance

#

the idea of the bot is that it globally learns from discord, so a shared instance may have other peoples facts and learnings in it, a standalone would be just your data

#

i was thinking containerise each one, and make a container and a vps activation part of the subscription/activation system

#

but, right now i dont know if its worth it or if anyone will even want my bot, so its just pie in the sky

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

it's better to not rush into it

#

i say give it time to make your bot known

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

i already have all the platforms etc, as im using them to make small amounts of money from other things... web and shell hosting, game development etc

#

so it would just be time taken to code the integrations and add a payment gateway

#

but if nobody will want it, it would be wasted time and effort

#

speaking of which has anyone ever seen a trivia bot on discord?

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 9:04 AM

#

there are many

#

don't know any off the top of my tongue but it's been done a lot

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 9:04 AM

#

nice 🙂 i spent months making a really good one on irc years ago, probably wont bother to port it

open flicker Oct 10, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

why bots use shard?

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 9:06 AM

#

to split processing load across multiple instances when a bot is on thousands or more guilds

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 9:06 AM

#

sharding is enforced at 2.5k guilds

#

by discord themselves

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 9:06 AM

#

really? well, i learn something new every day

open flicker Oct 10, 2019, 9:07 AM

#

thanks understood

#

how to do when there is no AFK channel it says "AFK channel not found" and not "Null"? help pliz

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 9:12 AM

#

do a null check

#

with either an if or a ternary operation

midnight lantern Oct 10, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

const map = message.guild.members.filter(mb => mb.roles.has(rol.id)),
rol = message.guild.roles.find(r => r.name === "HOLA");
if (!rol) return console.log("No existe este rol");

map.forEach(e => e.removeRole(rol)).catch(console.error);

I have this error

                map.forEach(e => e.removeRole(rol)).catch(console.error);
                ^

SyntaxError: Identifier 'map' has already been declared

Any suggestion ?

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

use let

#

you don't need it to be a const

midnight lantern Oct 10, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

is it the solution?

inland ridge Oct 10, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

i think so

#

when that doesn't work will the map var already declared by the node.js

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 9:30 AM

#

let, var and const have different scoping rules

midnight lantern Oct 10, 2019, 9:31 AM

#

i did all changes:

let mapSSS = message.guild.members.filter(mb => mb.roles.has(rol.id)),
rol = message.guild.roles.find(r => r.name === "HOLA");
if (!rol) return console.log("No existe este rol");

mapSSS.forEach(e => e.removeRole(rol)).catch(console.error);

and it doesnt work:

C:\Users\sergi\Desktop\BOT_Alejandreta>node .
C:\Users\sergi\Desktop\BOT_Alejandreta\index.js:3972
                mapSSS.forEach(e => e.removeRole(rol)).catch(console.error);
                ^

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 9:33 AM

you've placed a comma instead of ; at the end of the first line too

midnight lantern Oct 10, 2019, 9:34 AM

ou mama, its true XD

Can't type fast on phone

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 11:22 AM

hmm

#

so its against the terms of use to self-bot, e.g. connecting a bot via the api the client uses, but is it against the terms of use to do the opposite, and connect a chat client to the bot api?

#

e.g. if someone wanted to use that to get around the 100 server limit for users for example

slender thistle Oct 10, 2019, 11:26 AM

#

I believe that's not allowed either

hmm, did you know that technically, discord can request an audit of your code, which is vaguely mentioned in the terms of use for the API?

earnest phoenix Oct 10, 2019, 11:53 AM

Can you correct me @vital lark pls client.user.setActivity('🌌 Galaxy Bot V1.0 | galaxy.help | ' + client.guilds.size + " serveurs", | ' + client.users.size + " users", '{ type: 'WATCHING' })

green kestrel Oct 10, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

it only mentions remote monitoring of usage and crawling as examples, but vague enough that if youre a big fish they could request visibility of your source code.

#

note: "could", "maybe", "only", "vaguely"

#

so keep your code neat ant tidy people, you never know when discord may want to see it 😛
