@sage bobcat mathematical operations have priority over comparisons

u need brackets

valid frigate Nov 7, 2019, 6:33 PM

dv you could learn ipc, because broadcastEval scripts can be kinda big

inter process communication

valid frigate Nov 7, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

dont mathematical operations resolve first before comparisons

#

and yeah

#

if i did 1 + 1 > 1 that would resolve to true

lament meteor Nov 7, 2019, 6:34 PM

ye

valid frigate Nov 7, 2019, 6:34 PM

inter process communication allows you to request anything from shards as long as they receive the right code

#

say 1 shard wants to request data, so it sends something out like

const d = ipc.broadcast("requestShardData")

all other shards recieve that message and send back their data

someIpcClient.on("requestShardData", (f) => { // return shard data })

the variable d contains data from all shards

I have this code, which is to send an image with the avatar and text that the author wrote, well, when the text is larger than the background, the text shrinks, but I would like that instead of doing that of a jump line, but I don't know that, I use canvas

#

let fontSize = 70;

                do {
                    ctx.font = `${fontSize -= 10}px sans-serif`;

                return ctx.font;
            };
            const canvas = Canvas.createCanvas(700, 250);

instead of changing the font size, split the text into smaller pieces and measure each line again

Does anybody have any idea how I could make it so when I do like !check it goes through all the users in my server and checks when there account was created and if there account was created less then 2 months ago it shows there username and when there account was made?

earnest phoenix Nov 7, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

loop through every guild on your client

#

in that loop

#

loop through all of the members of the guild and check their account creation date

#

@quartz kindle How can I do that?

quartz kindle Nov 7, 2019, 8:57 PM

the same way you did it with the font size

just requires more logic

quartz kindle Nov 7, 2019, 9:34 PM

bots only get denied if its a blatant copy of another bot/open source bot

a bot built with random copy pasting of random blocks of code from multiple sources wont get denied (which is most likely the case here)

distant plank Nov 7, 2019, 9:43 PM

@quartz kindle It is not copied from another bot, I was just looking for how to manipulate images, and I found one of canvas for a welcome, but I modified it so that random text could be written, but I did not know how to do what I told you

quartz kindle Nov 7, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

its not an easy thing to do

#

take a look at this example

#

https://codepen.io/bramus/pen/eZYqoO

#

this example does the following:

split text into words
start with one word, measure its length
if length is smaller than the canvas width, add another word.
measure the length of two words
if the length is smaller than the canvas width, add another word.
repeat until the length is bigger than the canvas width
when the length is bigger, remove the last word, write the text, move to new line, start a new string and add the word there
repeat the process until no words are left

distant plank Nov 7, 2019, 10:04 PM

@quartz kindle Thank you! already achieved

i wonder is
"Authorization" : "Bearer " + ACCESS_TOKEN
correct header to access https://discordapp.com/api/users/@me

#

it keeps giving me

#

code:

@staticmethod
    async def get_user_json(access_token):
        url = Oauth.discord_api_url + "/users/@me"
        headers = {
            "Authorization" : "Bearer {}".format(access_token)
        }

        print(url, headers)
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.post(url, headers = headers) as r:
                return await r.json(content_type=None)

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.

find('a', 'b') is deprecated

then a.prop

prop should be replaced with the property that holds the role name

You should also consider caching that channel id

Because currently your bot will be fetching that from your "db" on every single message

You can't randomly use "guild"

You mean to tell me that when you give someone code they don't understand it and it errors? No way!

Hey, I'm working on a Discord bot in Javascript and there's three different variables I'm passing between two different functions.
Despite both functions changing the variables, the values of them keep resetting.
Two of the variables (one string, one integer) are declared using let outside of the two functions (in different functions that aren't being called multiple times) and the other variable (string) is global.
How do I get them to retain their values?

earnest phoenix Nov 9, 2019, 2:03 AM

#

@earnest phoenix you can make it lol

earnest phoenix Nov 9, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

Your explanation is flimsy, please visualize

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 2:43 AM

#

Does this help?

Function0() {
    let variable1 = 10;
    Function1(variable1);
}

Function1(variable1) {
    variable1--;
    Function2(variable1);
}

Function2(variable1) {
    if (variable1 == 5) {
        FunctionEnd();
    }
    else {
        Function1(variable1);
    }
}

copper cradle Nov 9, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

you can't name your functions like that

#

lol

#

you can't have variable/function names as numbers

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

It's an example.

valid frigate Nov 9, 2019, 3:43 AM

#

what is with the whole jumping around functions for

#

just curious

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

...I suppose the question I would ask is, exactly what are you trying to accomplish here?

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

I guess the example was so simple that it's more confusing than helpful.

I'm trying to make something that allows for typos.
So there's a lot of comparing what the user inputted and the correct answer.
"Function1" edits their response a little and sends it to "Function2" when the first letters match.
If it doesn't match, "Function1" calls itself.
The integer mentioned earlier is how many typos they're allowed.

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

You could accomplish that in a while loop..

#

while (number of typos left is greater than 0){
    do things
    typos allowed - 1
    if ( check things ){
        actions
    else
        stuff
}

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

Yep, it uses a while loop.

#

Okay maybe I'm blind, but I don't see a while loop in there..

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

The problem I presented was variables not retaining their value so I didn't include it. >.>

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

Well, lemme give ya some advice lolz...

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

Be more detailed?

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

When asking for help from other developers, it's best to either include your actual code, or example code that's, yanno, very close to the actual thing.

#

For all we know, the variable value retention issue could be somewhere not at all related to your recursive functions

#

But as far as any of us can see, your code is quite literally three functions

#

And nothing else.

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

There's so much I thought it would just be a bother. >.>
I'll post it in a moment since you're so willing to help~

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

Eh... I personally am actually about to hop off, but this server is filled with alot of talented devs.. even if it's not me that helps, I'm sure someone can at least point ya in the right direction.

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

I'll probably reformat my question and post the appropriate code in the future then.
I changed a little thing (after giving up after hours of fiddling earlier) and got it to work a bit for the first time.
So with hope I won't need to repost the question.

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

One last pointer for ya as well; it would be a good thing to troubleshoot your code yourself first too. console.log() can be your best friend, printing out the current variable values as it loops through your functions.

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

Yep!
It's helped a lot.

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

lolz... it's honestly my best way to troubleshoot my own code, when I modify things with my own bots.

I would suggest, if you end up needing to, have each function itself print out variable values, along with individual counter variable values each time it loops through a function.

#

That might help you track down the bug faster.

#

Anywho I'm off

#

aRFwave

viral plover Nov 9, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

I haven't implemented a counter since it's just been looping infinitely until I stop it, but I might give it a try.

#

Bye~
Thanks for the help~

oak imp Nov 9, 2019, 3:57 AM

HoeThumbsUp

frozen cedar Nov 9, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

Alright, so I have a function that runs on a for each and in each loop it checks if a condition is met. Here is a hypothetical scenario (very plausible with my bot):

On loop 1-15 (a random number) of the for each loop, the required condition is met and the user will get/keep a prespecified role

On loop 15 (again a random number) of the for each loop, the required condition is not met and the user has the role removed

How can I fix this so that if the condition is met just once, the role will persist throughout the for each loop regardless of other condition meets/nonmeets? I don't want to break/return out of the loop. This is nodejs.

Why it normal evaling?

simpler than repeating yourself

user input never touches eval input, so it is considered safe

the way discord.net handles it is basically wraps multiple clients into one

sharded client -> collection of discord client with separate shard ids

why are you using request and fetch? why are you requesting it twice?

you return the body outside of the promise, so body doesnt exist

split hazel Nov 9, 2019, 5:01 PM

if an error like

since its making alot of failed requests to the api

earnest phoenix Nov 9, 2019, 5:15 PM

yes

#

429 is a ratelimit status code

#

hitting too many 429, 404 and something else will load to an api ban

also it depends whether the request is a rest request or not

so it only returns a max of 100 reacted users?

the limit defaults to 100

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/ReactionUserStore?scrollTo=fetch this

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.

if you need more than 100 you could use the before/after option

and fetch them using multiple calls

You can just send a POST request and the server count will be shown

you can show your server count with an iframe or even have your url return an image of the count and place it in an img tag lol

question is it possible to return data from a function without using "return"

#

kind of like eval()

modest maple Nov 9, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Use global variables

#

Only other way I believe

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

actually it is possible

#

wait no nvm

#

@split hazel why wouldnt you want to use return anyways

split hazel Nov 9, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

i want it to work like eval but asynchronously

#

eval((async() => {code}))

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

so why not just promisify eval? wouldnt that work?

split hazel Nov 9, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

if only i was told this existed earlier

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

?

split hazel Nov 9, 2019, 8:55 PM

oh sorry i misunderstood what you said

and what do you mean by that

near ether Nov 9, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

How can I use a single mongodb connection in my entire program across multiple files?

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

so you want the eval function to be asynchronous?

#

as in, return a promise?

#

or execute async code?

split hazel Nov 9, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

yes, so you can also use await

#

without using retunr pretty much

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

yeah, util.promisify
https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/docs/api/util.html#util_util_promisify_original

@near ether pass the connection object between the functions

You’re passing what exactly, the “mongoclient.connect” part?

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:58 PM

no

#

are you using regular mongodb node driver or mongoose

near ether Nov 9, 2019, 8:58 PM

Regular driver

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

uhh gimme a sec then, i dont know if its the same

near ether Nov 9, 2019, 8:59 PM

Would you recommend mongoose over the driver?

mossy vine Nov 9, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

depends on your use case

#

there isnt much difference

near ether Nov 9, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

Honestly if it makes passing around a single connection easier, then I’m all for it lol

#

Because I don’t think creating a new connection every time I need to access the database is the right move

#

Probably very inefficient

using mongoose the connection will just be mongoose.connection

if you are using a process manager that restarts your bot when it stops, simply stopping the process is enough

can i make a discord bot using C# and XML?

just a question?

#

if a language can make api calls

#

you can make a bot with it

valid frigate Nov 9, 2019, 10:12 PM

people choose node because of its non blocking io meaning it doesnt wait for a request to finish on a thread

in basic terms it's a good candidate for applications like discord bots, however it's your choice

solar wraith Nov 9, 2019, 11:10 PM

Don't store the token in XML file or any file without remembering to remove the \n from jt
