not too bothered abt a fix right now tbh, I'd be happy if they just didnt show up in the console
#development

valid frigate
ok
simply read the error
it says "can't send messages to this user" this means they aren't accepting dms from server members
so you could encompass your code in a try/catch block
so these errors dont appear in your console/you can send error messages back to discord
for more information on try/catch please read https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/try...catch

client.on('message', msg => {
try{
if (msg.channel.type == "dm") {
msg.author.send ("TEST MESSAGE",);
return;

So this is what I've got so far, but errors keep showing up in console
I tried adding
catch(err) {
console.log ("ERROR TEST")
}
but that didnt show up at all, any idea whats going on?
the user dm'ing the bot gets the "Test Message" from the bot, and nothing else which is expected, but the console logs it as message unable to be sent to user

type 3 is watching but not working 😐

it's activity not game | edit: let me check some more
are you on stable or master? You could pass the string name of the activity instead of number

@earnest phoenix I would set the delay to around 20000 at least
12 seconds is too fast

not working too

ping me if you have to help 🙂
client.user.setActivity('TEXT', { url: 'URL', type: 'WATCHING' } );
@earnest phoenix
thats what I've been using to set watching
yup i know that but with intervalfunction it's possible ?
for look like mine
I had a similar thing before
I am currently looking for it
idk if ittl work ,I'm still pretty new, but try this
client.on('ready', () => {
setInterval(function () {
var statut = [

client.user.setPresence({

name: statutrandom,
type: viewrandom

no clue if ittl actually work tho
I'm going to try
@modest basalt
not working
@earnest phoenix 😐
oof, one sec
yup it's not easy xd
it's like 3 days i try to fix many bugs on my bot like this one
he work but not like i want '-'
okay so i think client.user.setPresence only works for like, Online, Idle, Do not Disturb, and Offline
try this?
client.on('ready', () => {

That changes it every 2 mins.
You will have to wait 2 mins before it's status will update.

hi, I have a question on connections. To send messages via eg curl your bot needs to authorize via the gateway. Since I can send curl messages after using discord.js, I suppose that plugin authorized for me .
now is this authorization permanent for that bot or will it expire?
slim heart
Well using discordjs it doesn’t activate until you connect to the gateway. You can do it through curl with just using the bots token in the authorization header
earnest phoenix
you don't need to go through the gatway to send messages i think
messages are rest requests
i'm curious now going to test it out
steel patrol
but the strange thing is that the curl wasn't working with a 40001 error until I made a discord.js app for the same bot, after which it was working
earnest phoenix
yeah you don't need to through the gateway to send a message
steel patrol
mmm okay
I thought so because the docs say Before using this endpoint, you must connect to and identify with a gateway at least once.
earnest phoenix
they might mean once in a lifetime of the application by that
i'm using an API wrapper here but it shouldn't make a difference between curl requests because it's just REST
steel patrol
ok thx

Well in each command you can just add an aliases array and when you find commands u can get the command from collection and if it doesn’t exist then search for it using the aliases array

How do I make a system that gives a random number between 500 and 1500 (js)
unique nimbus
Math.random
quartz kindle
^
quartz kindle
I dont think so
unique nimbus
hmm
mossy vine
it wont
earnest phoenix
It was not
quartz kindle
Math.random gives you a float betwren 0 and 1
unique nimbus
oh
quartz kindle
In js
earnest phoenix
Math.floor?
mossy vine
Math.floor(Math.random() * max) + min
quartz kindle
^
mossy vine
/**
* Returns a random number between two values
* @param {number} smallNumber - The minimum returned value
* @param {number} bigNumber - The maximum returned value
*/
exports.randomBetween = (i, j) => {
let s = Math.floor(Math.random() * j) + i;
return s
}```Oh thanks
earnest phoenix
@mossy vine if i put this code main file its will work?
mossy vine
@earnest phoenix if you are placing it in the file you want to use it in, replace exports. with const . if you are placing it a different file, make sure to import it
earnest phoenix
client not work?
earnest phoenix
client.randomBetween
mossy vine
no idea why you would do that tho
earnest phoenix
i tried it's saying function
quartz kindle
You add it to client like that
Then when you want to use it, you do client.randomBetween(50,100) for exanple
tranquil drum
You could also put
function randomBetween(i, j) {
let s = Math.floor(Math.random() * j) + i
return s
}
somewhere and call it like normal
mossy vine
i also said that
warm marsh
There is no need to create a variable just return the Math.floor or use an arrow function and do js const randomBetween = (low, high) => Math.floor(Math.random() * high) + low;

Yours or another?

?

For permissions that could be overriden by channel overwrites, use guild.permissions_for(guild.me)
golden herald
wait what?
golden herald
um ok, I was on about if the bot has certain perms on a server
how to check which ones they got for commands
Ik it is to do w/ @earnest phoenix_has_permissions but it doesn't seem to be working
slender thistle
Show how you are using it
slender thistle
Separate them with commas, not ands
slender thistle
It can't kick without the permission
You probably gave it admin permission
Also checking for admin perm as well as other ones is pointless
golden herald
oh ok

no specific length
what do you want to do
Hey

ah
earnest phoenix
What exactly is your error?
earnest phoenix
It can't find the directory it seems.
lunar crystal
^^
earnest phoenix
well
have you checked to see if the file is in that directory
You could also use path to find the directory for extra measurements or uploading the image to something like imgur and just putting the image link
earnest phoenix
No problem 
I say using imgur is honestly just easier and removing attachFiles and only using setImage with the image link
you also save bandwidth
Yeah so it isn't uploading the image every time the command is executed

while(true){
//use globals or outer scope variables to break the loop if necessary
functionHandle();
await this.wait(secondsBetweenCalls);
}
}
async wait(seconds){

Try defining those functions then pass them into a function like this one.Come to think of it, you should be able to pass in an anonymous function as well.

each client needs a database connection because they are seperate processes
unless you use something like ipc to tell the master process that you wanna do X and wait for Y response, it isn't possible

how to add role to all ppl in the server without getting rate limited in discord.js?
@earnest phoenix sry for ping but can u help me?

respect the rate limits

There is no way to do it
Expect getting banned from discord for adding a role to like 20k users at once
in antispambot they have it

I was thinking something like this:
html = String.raw`${ `${html}` }`;
return html;
}
var x = render('<h1>Hello, ${args.user}!</h1>', { user: 'u' });```
but that doesn't work. If you only have keys that don't have subobjects
```const render = (strings, ...keys) => {
return (function(...values) {
var dict = values[values.length - 1] || {};
var result = [strings[0]];
keys.forEach(function(key, i) {
var value = Number.isInteger(key) ? values[key] : dict[key];
result.push(value, strings[i + 1]);
});
return result.join('');
});
}
var exampleClosure = render`<h1>Hello, ${'user'}!</h1>`;
console.log(exampleClosure([], {user: 'username'}));```
from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals will work.@earnest phoenix

Help
when I try to add the smoogle translate bot to my server, it doesn’t show the “Authorize” button. Any one have insight on why this happens / how to fix?
<@&265158261945270273>
hushed berry
- this isnt the support server for smoogle translate
- if this was the right server, this would be the wrong channel
- smoogle translate doesnt have any control over the authorization page -- that would be discord
- dont ping the website admins unless stuff is on fire
to answer your question though, you sometimes need to scroll down. its a bit finnicky sometimes

still get ```setInterval(function(){channel.send("test")}, 10000);

when i try to use var channel = client.channels.get('630431103051890701') setInterval(function(){channel.send("test")}, 10000);
I have tried different servers and different channels, still get same error
When I run it in glitch.com or something (i know glitch is a big no no), it works, but when I run it on local machine, it gives the error.

the channel does not exist with that id or is not cached

By the looks of it, you're comparing an array of bytes to a string. It's probably giving you a warning because one is being implicity cast to the other, which can be a bad thing. Pic semi related.

How to give an output of a link in discord dot js using markdown? Im trying to have the link be shortened down to a string, and i have already tried [SiteName](url)
slender thistle
Hyperlinks only work in embed contents
tacit stag
it is in an embed
this is my code:
if((args.includes('https://google.com'))) {
site = 'Google';
url = args[0];

//Output it in an embed using [${site}](${url})
this didn't work

Use the author field of the embed.

Which field is that
vocal phoenix
if((args.includes('https://google.com'))) {
site = 'Google';
url = args[0];
embed.setAuthor(site, null, url);

Does it display the whole link though or can you have some alt text that appears instead of the full link?

It looks correct, but it gives 2 errors.
if(!message.member.hasPermission("MANAGE_GUILD")) || if(!message.author.id == "596879758244053002")
return message.channel.send("You do not have permission to run `setprefix`.");

Combine the 2 conditions in one if statement
Using ||
and it wouldn't be a bad idea to use === instead of == because the id should/will always be a string
astral meteor
fixed, thank you :)

also
a more efficient way of running permission checks like these is to have a message handler
sits in between your message event and the command, and does stuff like verify permissions etc
export a prop in your help object like permissions: ["MANAGE_GUILD"]

It failed to get prebuilt binaries, so it needs to be built from source
Building from source requires all packages listed in their npm/github page in the building from source section for your operating system
For example, for ubuntu, you need to install the following packages (in ubuntu using apt, not on npm) build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev

Is there a way to get bots with a prefix in the api?
(javascript / node.js)
Like to get all bots with a specific prefix
(The api = dbl api)
earnest phoenix
problem is
oh wait
the problem is i cant find a option to get the bots with a prefix
mossy vine
yeah iirc there is no way for regular users to access all bots with 1 endpoint
quartz kindle
yup, there is
there are 2908 bots with ! prefix
example searching for a! prefix:
you can get up to 500 bots per request (but you get a number showing the total amount of matches regardless, and you can navigate them by offset)
and you can search by several fields
earnest phoenix
and how can i?
I tried to find but i couldnt
@quartz kindle
so what sorting method do i have to use
quartz kindle
you have to make an https GET request to top.gg/api/bots with the query parameters you want, and your dbl token in the authorization header
for example https://top.gg/api/bots?limit=50&search=prefix:a!
earnest phoenix
Thanks
so on the api this would be
wait
dbl.getBots({ prefix: 'a!', limit: 100 })
quartz kindle
no...

Ok

earnest phoenix

quartz kindle
@pliant iron is your webhook configured correctly?
pliant iron
I believe so
quartz kindle
did you configure it in your bot's edit page?
quartz kindle
what link did you give it?
pliant iron
The webhook link I made in the server
quartz kindle
which is?
pliant iron
Wait I think I defined it wrong
const dbl = new DBL(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' });```ok, and what url did you put in the website?
pliant iron
Do I put the bot's api token there and the second underlined thing as the webhook token?
pliant iron
ohhh
pliant iron
Oh
quartz kindle
i mean, you can do that
but that will send it directly to a discord webhook
not to your bot
and probably is not compatible with discord webhooks
pliant iron
What am I meant to do?
quartz kindle
the webhook needs to find your bot
your bot opens a webserver in port 5000
so depending on where and how your bot is hosted
you probably need to put "http://YOURSERVERSIPADDRESS:5000/webhook"
or something similar
pliant iron
Hold up
quartz kindle
if you're running in glitch or heroku, or you have your bot running behind some proxy, you will need to use something different
pliant iron
It logged this http://0.0.0.0:5000/dblwebhook
quartz kindle
yes, 0.0.0.0 is a null adress, its the same as saying "this machine"
its not an actual address
pliant iron
oh
quartz kindle
you need its public ip address address
pliant iron
I use glitch
quartz kindle
where is your bot hosted?
glitch is different
they have their own way of doing things, something along the lines of "yourusername.glitch.com/yourprojectname"
or something like that, i dont remember
pliant iron
Is it the project link?
or
https://exvay-bot.glitch.me```For uptime robot I use https://exvay-bot.glitch.me
quartz kindle
then try https://exvay-bot.glitch.me and set up your dbl.webhook with port 3000
gtlch only alows you to use port 3000
afaik
{ webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' });
webhookPort 3000
pliant iron
right
that is correct?
Because I get this error
const dbl = new DBL('token', { webhookPort: 3000, webhookAuth: 'authpasshere' });```

do you have anything else running in port 3000?
oh wait, you have the uptime bot on port 3000 no?
thats the problem
you need to remove the uptime robot
or you need to connect dbl to the existing server that uptime robot creates

What's perfered Linux or Windows for running my bot?
linux
to legally run a bot on a windows server you would have to buy a windows license
I already have Windows server
Licenses
Regardless why would Linux be better?
jade thistle
it is safer

linux has standardization, no bloatware, it's more common in the general career path of a developer and many deving systems are designed to run on linux
tranquil drum
system usage headroom
mossy vine
and linux also has awesome developer tools

i do deployments to a dokku instance on a debian server which means deployments and database linking etc. is just a single command

hello all
how to make code to read every last messages from a guild?
if (msg.content === 'Julia')
for example like if message contains anything
opaque eagle
Do you want to check if a message ends with a specific string? @restive light
restive light
no i want to check every messages about anything
i want deliver last messages to my another server with my bot
opaque eagle
I'm confused about what you mean by "last messages"
restive light
basically if someone sends a message then send same message to x server
earnest phoenix
message event -> get the channel you want to forward the message to -> send the message's content to the channel
earnest phoenix
no, you can't
browse the docs and try to logically connect what i just said to the terms in docs
every method, event and property is thoroughly described
restive light
why im the only one who cant get any sample codes here
still everybody gets samples when they wants
earnest phoenix
where did you get that fact from
restive light
i see many ones asked and people wrote samples to them
earnest phoenix
ok, you saw
this server has a no spoonfeeding rule, so no, not everyone will get spoonfed the code
people are encouraged to do their own research because it will stick with them more than just giving them the premade code to copy paste
restive light
man i didnt say "can you write corrected code for me?" i wrote sample code
with explains
earnest phoenix
mossy vine
lmao
restive light
-Can you show me a sample?
go search google
slender thistle
That would be incorrect
restive light
learning is showing some basic samples
slender thistle
You were given the logical actions to apply in order to get the desired result
for an average developer willing to at least learn, that should be enough by itself
earnest phoenix
maths is not comparable to using a programming library
maths is a term comparable to a language

message.something
}
// after
message.something```Conditional algorithms be always true 
quartz kindle
@lofty hamlet you would need to change that loop from string building to array building. another way is to create a position variable and fill it up if the user id matches
lofty hamlet
@quartz kindle ok ok you can explain me or send me and explain ? :d

for example ```js
let content = ""
let position; // this
try {
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
let user = bot.users.get(lvl[i].ID.split('_')[1])
if(user.id === message.author.id) { position = set position here } // this
if(position) { user has a position in this list } // this
content += `${i + 1}. __${db.get(`MV3_${user.id}.pseudo`)}__ - **${lvl[i].data.nombre}**\n`
}
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)

Hey, I'm using Eris with TypeScript and when I'm trying to import Eris using import Eris from "eris", I get the following error for the Eris constructor:
This expression is not constructable.
Type 'typeof import("eris")' has no construct signatures.
I'm relatively new to TypeScript and also tried looking for open source projects that use TypeScript in combination with eris in attempt to solve this issue myself, sadly without any luck.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

//
if(user.id === message.author.id) {} // this will check if the user is the same as the author. if this is true, then you need to set the position in the variable outside, and use it in the footer
//

}```But the author is not on the top 10
quartz kindle
if the author is not in the top 10, then you need to get its position from the database
lofty hamlet
How ?

or .findIndex() assuming the array is already sorted, which it should be
