oh ok

I don't know if anyone else has done it yet or not, but I think I may have just published the first public voice chat audio transcription bot
compact oriole
are there any analytics bots?
earnest phoenix
I think so
compact oriole
well now there atleast is
earnest phoenix
compact oriole
But stonks does ;D
earnest phoenix
I thought I had a unique idea
all the other audio transcription bots failed, then?
earnest phoenix
it listens to each users audio stream independently
earnest phoenix
it's only designed to allow targeting a single user at a time right now
because it costs $$/min to transcribe audio

solar wraith
can i get a hint on how to call a different C# file and use the instructions/commands defined in there
earnest phoenix
why aren't you using discord.net's command system
earnest phoenix
what
solar wraith
i like to keep my main file as clean as possible
earnest phoenix
there is no reason to use internal unless you're making a library
solar wraith
i want those C# files to be able to run as if their code was inside the run.cs
in solution explorer btw
earnest phoenix
why are you creating classes outside of the project
you seem to not really know c#
earnest phoenix
it doesn't matter
solar wraith
also i want to keep my main file clean
so if there is a problem one module fails
not all of them
thats my main idea
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
back to the drawing board
solar wraith
and execute the code in those files as if they where internal to the main file\
i geuss?
earnest phoenix
you don't know how c# works
solar wraith
not completely yes
modest maple
@earnest phoenix hes basically trying Todo what most people doing discord.py do
earnest phoenix
im aware
modest maple
Having a seperate file for commands
earnest phoenix
that is what discord.net encourages
but
they do not know basics of a language
no one can really help with that
modest maple
It's alot of extra work in C# for little improvement
earnest phoenix

solar wraith
not get it spoon fed

Lookin like discord.js
slender mountain
^^^
solar wraith
wait
what did i do wrong every time i lauch my bot it launches and after that it does his thing
then exits with error 0x0 (aka a normal shut down)
slender mountain
Well without code I wouldnt really be able to help you 
south sonnet
@app.route('/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def webhook():
# top.gg sends data on the latest vote
if request.method == 'GET':
return '<h1>This is for Top.gg only, what are you doing here?!</h1>'
elif request.method == 'POST':
print("- - - - - TOP.GG VOTE - - - - -")
give_reward(dict(request.json))
return '', 200
else:
abort(400)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host='xx.xx.xxx.xx', port=8083, threaded=True, debug=True) # will listen on port
If I use this with 8083 forwarded correctly and with the webhook info set on the website I should be able to receive votes on xx.xx.xxx.xx:8083, right?
solar wraith
did you fill in xx.xx.xxx.xx?
south sonnet
Yes ofc
south sonnet
Nah it's correct
solar wraith
unless your ip adress is something like 97.16.155.25
south sonnet
it is
solar wraith
but then again YOUR the host
slender mountain
@solar wraith is it breaking on any specific line or no.
south sonnet
I did
solar wraith
me rn ^^^^
good
also your ip adress you forwarded am i right to assume it starts with 192.168?
south sonnet
If I use that exact code a bit different I manage to receive github post requests and get requests but somehow i am not getting the top.gg ones
No that's wrong.
solar wraith
there is your problem
your router needs to have your local ip adress as forwarded
your router handles requests to outside
south sonnet
It does. I run a website on this exact server too
solar wraith
and needs to open a port to your IP adress
hmmmm
for crying out loud where do i break and with what ;-;
cuz break;
doesnt work
south sonnet
The thing is, I can receive post and get requests from other sites like github and just me checking it
But I am not getting anything from top.gg.
solar wraith
hmmm
south sonnet
So I'm assuming the webhook test function broke...?
solar wraith
not sure
but are you forwarding an IPv4 adress?
cuz i cant force top.gg to ping on IPv4
south sonnet
It is on IPv4 yes
quartz kindle
try to open xx.xx.xxx.xx:8083 in a browser and see if it logs anything (make it log all requests)
south sonnet
It logs
and it shows "This is for Top.gg only, what are you doing here?!"
return '<h1>This is for Top.gg only, what are you doing here?!</h1>'```then your webserver is correct
solar wraith
error 401
@slender mountain where do i break?
cuz i tried every where but it refuses to break
south sonnet
So idk what I'm doing wrong. I have to use webhooks since I'm over the ratelimit but I am having so many problems with this.
slender mountain
Wdym, I was meaning if the error happens in any particular place
quartz kindle
well, discord is having issues atm
maybe top.gg is also having them
youtube was also not loading channels a few mins ago
looks like an outage
south sonnet
Everything works fine for me
quartz kindle
did you try with and without "http://" in the webhook url?
south sonnet
Yes I did
OMG
KIDDING ME
I found the problem
You have to click "save" first and only after that you can use "test"
quartz kindle
lmao
quartz kindle
np we didnt do anything
solar wraith
@slender mountain no error 0x0 is just standard normal exit code
no errors
for crying out looud
either no commands at all
or no bot
what am i doing wrong
@earnest phoenix can you tell me how to get my bot not to exit it self
or give me a hint

hoiii i wanna ask can var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 201); have some kind of percentage system? like chances to be exact
70% to get number 1-100
20% to get number 100-150
10% to get number 150-200
quartz kindle
@glacial mango that means list is not an array
glacial mango
What do you mean
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix theres probably a million ways to do that, but the simplest way i can think of rn is to run a random number from 0-10, if it returns 0-7, run a random number 1-100, if it returns 7-9, run a random number 100-150, if it returns 9+ run a random 150-200 lol
earnest phoenix
as long as it work i like it 
quartz kindle
@glacial mango splice is an array method, it only works in arrays
an array looks like this: [item1,item2,item3]
glacial mango
but list is defined as an array
glacial mango
ok

granite trout
so how do i do .catch
solar wraith
the hype
mossy vine
why do you have both await and .then 
earnest phoenix
also
you're mixing async and sync
stop doing that
granite trout
idk where
earnest phoenix
that's what comes from copypasting and not understanding concepts
tldr monkey sees monkey does
solar wraith
totaly not doing the same
granite trout
I dont understand the whole await and .then and the http request stuff, like at all
earnest phoenix
have you tried research
granite trout
yeah but discord.js docs are very basic
earnest phoenix
discord.js docs don't cover async and sync concepts
grim aspen
earnest phoenix
that is something you should know when going into using the lib
i don't get why so many devs don't want to do research because it won't be "first try"
it's totally fine to read the docs and play around with different methods to see how it ends up with
blissful scaffold
I don't think you can call yourself a dev if you don't research stuff
earnest phoenix
psh
blissful scaffold
you are just a copy paster if you dont do research
granite trout
it already has .then idk why it matters
solar wraith
question why are we using async?
solar wraith
but if you drop that
earnest phoenix
async can run while something else is running
earnest phoenix
if all apps were to be sync the world like you know it today would be extremely slow

earnest phoenix

solar wraith
xD
feck
it cant find file
like where do i give the command handler a pointer to where it must search
earnest phoenix
you provide the context to ExecuteAsync
ExecuteAsync gets the message out of the context
and reads its content
then attempts to match your module and commands
in order for executeasync to find the module the class needs to be public and needs to extend ModuleBase<ContextTypeThatYou'rePassingToExecuteAsync>

@loud salmon thank you

How would you manage cooldowns for commands (stored in memory) across multiple shards?
undone rose
People would rlly need to know more abt how your bot is setup
To answer tht question
short siren
a database?
modest maple
well depends
short siren
you could save the time that it will next allow you to run the command again in the database then just cache it in an object or something then when people run the command you only have to compare it to an object then if it seems about right maybe call the db?
or just find a fast db
near ether
The issue is what if someone uses the command in a server with shard 1, then tries again on shard 2? It wouldnโt recognize the cooldown stored in the object fro shard 1 because they are separate processes
short siren
maybe save it to a external file might be inefficient tho
near ether
Or could I store the cooldowns in the file with the shardmanager and have the shards get/set cooldown info from there?
valid frigate
what
no
imo the most effective way of handling cooldown on a sharded bot is to store command usage in a database
but not storing a new document every time someone uses a command
late hill
Are we talking about large cooldowns or just small cooldowns to prevent spam?
valid frigate
this works for large & small cooldowns
lemme kinda run down how i would think it would work
near ether
I have a ;job command on a 15 minute cooldown
late hill
Then just use db
valid frigate
user X runs a command with a 1 hour cooldown and their command usage gets placed into a db like so:
id: X, command: cmdname, lastUsed: current unix timestamp
then if they ever run the command again, check the database for if the difference between now & when they last used the command is greater than the cooldown length or smth
late hill
You're concerned that your database would potentially get spammed?
near ether
I also have a ;fight command, where you begin a fight with a player. You canโt fight more than 1 player at a time, so if you run ;fight again, it tells you to finish your original fight
Nah
late hill
You could cache the cooldown on that shard once they've used the command once
valid frigate
how will other shards be aware of that cooldown
youd have to delve into ipc, which even then is not reliable
near ether
Hmmmm
late hill
But as said
valid frigate
the idea here is not to have setTimeout or setInterval
valid frigate
database only is actually your best choice because as i said
dbs can perform a lot of operations at once
plus without a cache, your bot is one step closer to being stateless
near ether
What does that mean?
valid frigate
stateless simply means your bot doesnt have anything stored in its memory, like caches
dont quote me on this
near ether
Is it ideal to be stateless?
silver rapids
as with everything in development :p
silver rapids
depends on how you build the cache
valid frigate
cant speak on behalf of 9000 million guild bots
near ether
Honestly dude fuck sharding lmao
Or should I say, sharding the traditional way
Canโt I just do internet sharding with one line or something?
I set my bot to have sharding: auto right?
earnest phoenix
hi
quartz kindle
internet sharding lmao
modest maple
you dont really need sharding unless the bot is above 2,000 guilds
near ether
Yea but my bot is growing faster than I expected and I wonโt have time to figure this stuff out later so I thought Iโd get it out of the way now
modest maple
fair enough
valid frigate
i know people always say "but duuude you shouldn't shard at 30 guilds" but don't listen to people like that
if your bot is growing fast definitely go for sharding
modest maple
hmm
well
might have to think about it at some point too den
i think we're gaining about 60 guild a day on average
but its going in a curve shape so ๐คท
amber fractal
... What? If you shard at 30 guilds it will have a negative impact.
Build your bot to be compatible with sharding, but sharding too early is bad
modest maple
can someone actually explain how sharding works indepth
ik thew basics of it but kinda just interested in how it works in general
broken jay
Wtf? In my bot (that is under development) and is in 2 servers, i use Auto sharding, and this work well..
earnest phoenix
^
modest maple
^^
late hill
auto sharding would mean that it only uses 1 shard in that case unless you've set the guild count to 1 server each
earnest phoenix
If your bot is growing at an insanely fast rate, sure, shard away, but even at 100 guilds, there's still no need to shard
late hill
so it makes no difference
broken jay
i use python AutoShardedBot
slender thistle
That thing determines the preferred amount of shards
so really I'd bet you just have 1 shard running
broken jay
Ye
But now i don't care about sharding. When i release this and this grow, this just add additional shards.
late hill
Yes
But you should be aware that that doesn't mean your code will still work as intended when there's multiple shards
broken jay
Currently I have no problems, and so much than I searched about discord.py sharding, this shouldn't have any effect to bot work. I know like JS have problems and much others, but i think not python
modest maple
you're using () to encase all of the {}? shouldnt it be bot.on('messageReactionAdd', (messageReaction, user))
west raptor
.. Any errors?
modest maple
just thinking invalid syntax?
west raptor
messageReaction is undefined
Unless you are using emoji somewhere else
Oh also ids should be strings
late hill
Yeh
I don't think the issue is in your messageReactionAdd listener
Actually
That is where it breaks
But it's because you're emitting the event with invalid parameters
var msgReaction = msg.reactions.get(event.d.emoji.name + ":" +event.d.emoji.id);
the reactions are mapped by id pretty sure
so it would just be .get(event.d.emoji.id)
Not sure why you're using the raw events, var and empty if clauses but the above should be what's causing the error ^^ @earnest phoenix
quartz kindle
the raw event is needed to handle reactions on uncached/old messages
late hill
ah
good to know
would the raw events be fired before the other ones?
uhh
You can just ask stuff here, there's multiple people checking this channel regularly
quartz kindle
yes, the raw event is fired first
you can even use the raw event to intercept and modify the data you receive before it is passed to other events
i use it to disable user and channel caching lul
late hill
oh
quartz kindle
log msg.reactions and log event.d.emoji
short siren
Hey, so I'm learning sharding I'm wondering what I should put as the delay between spawning shard I heard I should do a 1 minute delay to allow it time to allow the prior shard to spawn is this correct
valid frigate
hmm?
most libs spawn shards like 5 seconds apart
there is a timeout though (usually 30 seconds) that libs wait for before they realize a shard isnt gonna connect anytime soon
shards can spawn synchronously iirc so dont worry about waiting for one to spawn
quartz kindle
5 seconds is the rate limit, anything lower than that and you'll get rate limit errors
valid frigate
guess some libs do 10 seconds by default apparently
quartz kindle
i do 5.5 seconds
cobalt cape
Hey so I want to have my bot pass over a bit of code if it doesn't need it. Its a report command for mods, and it'll see if theres a channel. If there is, it'll send the report but still send the error message for there being no channel. Code block below.
let reportschannel = message.guild.channels.find(`name`, `reports`)
if (!reportschannel) return message.channel.send(`Uh... no reports channel`)```
steel heath
.find function has changed a little bit
So you might want to try .find(c => c.name == "reports")
It should work on both ways afaik but just give it a try

@hollow tiger yes
hollow tiger
if its computer im not really sure because i coded my first bot 1 years ago using computer and switched to using a website
steady carbon
..?
hollow tiger
im not that good at computer stuff and havent hosted a bot running on a computer in a year
steady carbon
I'm using VPS Ubuntu 19.10
hollow tiger
hmm
steady carbon
the bot was working until this afternoon
hollow tiger
maybe ask someone else im not the person to ask when it comes to network
steady carbon
what is the chance of discord banning my vps ip?
steady carbon
Google Cloud
final stone
I doubt discord would block any compliant ips from that host, is it showing any error when booted?
steady carbon
the bot takes 5 minutes to call and then gives the error "Something took too long to do".
final stone
Thats strange, what libary are you using and lang
steady carbon
nodejs
final stone
with eris or discord.js?
steady carbon
discord.js
steady carbon
maybe.. mysql? kk
final stone
Whats the code that connects it minus the creditinals?
steady carbon
user ?
final stone
like what lines of code are you using to connect & use the db
steady carbon
let mysql = require('mysql');
let connection = mysql.createConnection({
host: "localhost",
user: "root",
password: "",
database: 'db',
charset: 'utf8mb4'
});
```this?the connection its ok
final stone
Yes, that semes fine at least on the connection ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
steady carbon
shows "connected"
final stone
And then it just crashes and says something took too long?
steady carbon
i used
client.login(token).then("OK").catch(err => console.log(err));
don't show "ok"
and later 5 min
show "something..."
final stone
@brave loom Turn on developer options in your discord appearance settings and right click your server / name and click copy ID
Hmm
steady carbon
maybe.. discord was banned my vps address?
final stone
Well if it was banned it should not be timing out i believe it would just 401 Forbidden you, or whatever the code is
steady carbon
i don't know what i need to do
brave loom
were do i right click
steady carbon
my bot is offline for more than 7 hours
brave loom
i turned it on
final stone
you right click on your name to copy your name or on a server icon to copy it
and select copy id
So it just randomly stopped working @steady carbon nothing was modified?
brave loom
wha?
steady carbon
i launched an update at 11:00 am
final stone
and it stopped working then?
steady carbon
right now i'm uploading the last update
brave loom
wdym on a server icon
final stone
@brave loom https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-
final stone
well good luck @steady carbon, Never heard of this problem before, there is still a chance discord could of blocked you but im not sure if theres a way to tell right now
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
and ok @brave loom
brave loom
it says invalid token
final stone
what?
steady carbon
levi, br?
brave loom
im doing this Discord bots | add your bot
final stone
what did you put in your client.login or whatever? A bot token or your ID
brave loom
my id
final stone
are you using discord.js?
brave loom
yeha
final stone
alright, you need to create a discord bot application, for more information look here https://discordjs.guide/preparations/setting-up-a-bot-application.html
brave loom
ok
so
i did it
now wuut
i created it
do i need to add it to discord?
or is it already added to discord
final stone
You need to add it to your server and put the token in your client.login area. All of it is explained in https://discordjs.guide, just look through some pages and you will most likey find what your looking for
steady carbon
@final stone I changed the ip of the machine and now the bot is running but is VERY slow
final stone
Maybe it was ratelimited
Do you have any fast actions on your bot
ex, fast changing status?
steady carbon
status is changing in 15 secs
final stone
Hmm, thats a possible ratelimit but unlikely, any other things that are on a timer?
or like logs?
final stone
setinterval
steady carbon
no
final stone
anything that repeats
steady carbon
have only 2 setInterval in bot
final stone
weird
steady carbon
have SO MANY .delete(15000) in messages
final stone
then deletes it in 15 sec?
steady carbon
and.. this message is deleted after 15 secs
final stone
yeah
steady carbon
this is a problem?
steady carbon
relax kaka
final stone
create another bot token and see if its faster, if it is you were ratelimited and you should make anything that repeats repeat a bit slower, if not your vps could be having network mantiance slowing it down
Not really sure if there is another way to detect a ratelimit
brave loom
IM LOST
final stone
huh?
final stone
what is your bots client id?
final stone
I don't think bots can read them from this channel, just in case do it in #commands so you wont get warned
brave loom
it says im not allowed to link my bots client idea
earnest phoenix
Hello
final stone
ok
wish i did not speak in this chat
steady carbon
and how can i optimize the "api"
do you know?
@final stone
and sorry for mention
final stone
optimize the api?
steady carbon
yeah my code
final stone
I mean, you. wha?
steady carbon
Can you help me optimize the use of discord api in my code? or at least give me some tips on what to do to use less
sudden geyser
Don't send as many useless requests. Kind of confusing what you mean, but most likely won't want to go through your code for that.
valid frigate
random ass discord
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.
vital lark
@valid frigate send the code
earnest phoenix
sorry for being a noob but
client.getScores = sql.prepare("SELECT * FROM scores WHERE user = ?");```
How do I make both of these variable accessible in other commands files?it should be accessable by the client paramater
valid frigate
val embedJsonObject = JSONObject()
.put("title", "some title")
.put("description", "xd")
.put("color", 0)
val requestJsonObject = JSONObject()
.put("embeds", "[$embedJsonObject]")
"webhook url".httpPost()
.jsonBody(requestJsonObject.toString())
yeah about the whole string method
it's part of the http client
tryna send an embed sucks bro
vital lark
so jsonBody needs a string as it's paramater?
valid frigate
for the most part
vital lark
it should be an object, not a string
valid frigate
id think so too
also what's the right content type header to send
tried application/json
vital lark
because ur sending js "{\"embeds\":[{\"title\": \"title\"}] }" and not json { embeds: [{ title: 'title' }] }
vital lark
okhttp3 is fine
valid frigate
ok so the problem probably has to do with the fact that i'm sending stringified json
vital lark
yea
vital lark
valid frigate
dont see any reason not to tbh
vital lark
yea okhttp3 is op af
valid frigate
yay -1 dependency
earnest phoenix
how do i make the bot detect if an input is in json?
im tired of the console log errors 
try catch
vital lark
try {
//success
} catch(ex) {
//errored
}
Cept Danish is implying something's causing his code to throw errors, usually you want to fix those 
tranquil drum
earnest phoenix
Here's my command
{
let messageID = message.content.split(" ")[1];
let editedmessage = message.content.split(" ")[2];
try {
message.channel.fetchMessage(messageID)
message.edit(JSON.parse(editedmessage)); //edit the message in Embed
} catch (err) {
message.channel.fetchMessage(messageID)
.then(message => {
message.edit(editedmessage) //edit the message if its not embed
});
}
}```
So I ran this command
`~edit 643682364303605760 {
"color": 0,
"title": "uwuwwuwuw",
"description": "OWO"
}`
and the picture below showcase the edited messageSorry if i asked too much but im way too curious
radiant jay
Put the code in an actual codeblock please
weary lark
if (command === "edit")
{
let messageID = message.content.split(" ")[1];
let editedmessage = message.content.split(" ")[2];
try {
message.channel.fetchMessage(messageID)
message.edit(JSON.parse(editedmessage)); //edit the message in Embed
} catch (err) {
message.channel.fetchMessage(messageID)
.then(message => {
message.edit(editedmessage) //edit the message if its not embed
});
}
}
messy code lol
earnest phoenix
hey im a noob sooo
slender mountain
@earnest phoenix I don't know if you can edit an existing embed, I'm pretty sure what you are going to have to do is create a new embed with the same old stuff and change whatever was updated.
earnest phoenix
yup my goal, im gonna google ๐ข i think the fault is at let editedmessage = message.content.split(" ")[2]; since itll only take the { when i ran ~edit 643682364303605760 { "color": 0, "title": "uwuwwuwuw", "description": "OWO" } and i also need to delete the existing embed in the way
slender mountain
yea
instead of message.content.split(" ")[2]; do message.content.split(" ").slice(1); @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
Thank you anclint#9255! Here's my code if you guys want to critize or give a more cleaner way haha ๐
if (message.content.startsWith('~edit'))
{
var messageID = message.content.split(" ")[1];
var editedmessage = message.content.split(" ").slice(2).join(" ");
var embed = JSON.parse(editedmessage)
message.channel.fetchMessage(messageID)
.then(message => {
message.edit({embed});
});
}```ok
You could do some research on var / let / const in javascript
Because using var for everything isn't rly the best way to go about stuff
You could split on " " just once and save the output in a variable which you can then use in the rest of your code
It's a good idea to avoid using the same name for different variables, in your case you're just executing one simple line of code in that .then() but if things get more complex it would be difficult to "see" what message is
earnest phoenix
oh yea i heard the myth where NEVER use var because .... And thanks for the other tip ๐
stable perch
how to get DBL API Token

i cant find
solar wraith
why is my bot auto exiting
do i need to introduce a loop?
@earnest phoenix throw me a bone
xD
solar wraith
any one els
earnest phoenix
i told you why yesterday
earnest phoenix
what is your code
solar wraith
had: await _client.LoginAsync(TokenType.Bot, Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("token_alpha")); await _client.StartAsync();
now i should have had:
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("token_alpha"));
await _client.StartAsync();
await Task.Delay(-1);```try catch you're probably getting an exception
compact oriole
@earnest phoenix is right
solar wraith
its compiling correctly
C:\Users\ekore\Desktop\bot stuff\tanki alpha\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.0\tanki alpha.exe (process 16172) exited with code 0.
To automatically close the console when debugging stops, enable Tools->Options->Debugging->Automatically close the console when debugging stops.
Press any key to close this window . . .```\i thought i said i fixed the problem 
earnest phoenix
how many times do i have to tell you that exceptions are runtime things
west raptor
That doesn't include runtime errors
VS can't just magically know if there is a runtime error
solar wraith
;-;
west raptor
And if it did its not like it would know how to fix it because it's not a direct issue with your code but rather the way your code is written
solar wraith
;-;
west raptor
Nor is it always up to date
solar wraith
cry you said catch errors how?
west raptor
Try catch
west raptor
Error?
earnest phoenix
you're lacking basic c# knowledge
earnest phoenix
and what is your code
earnest phoenix
i asked for your code
earnest phoenix
basic c# doesn't mean knowing that c# uses () { }
solar wraith
i am used to C++
i do know what () and {} is
{} is used for functions and the main program
west raptor
Well this isn't cpp
solar wraith
() for internal things inside a function
west raptor
Then don't do that
west raptor
I have adhd too, doesn't stop me from learning a language
earnest phoenix
it requires knowledge of TAP
west raptor
Jumping into anything without basic knowledge of it is always a bad idea
The only times I have jumped into a language is when I have used similar languages
solar wraith
i have moderately C++ knowladge
i am stuck at the loop stuff
i cant wrap my head around it ;-;
west raptor
There's a world of difference between cpp and cs
earnest phoenix
from what I'm seeing you have a misunderstanding between what is a beginner and intermediate knowledge
unique nimbus
Discord Bots isn't beginner projects
you need to know the errors
understand them
west raptor
Sometimes that's the best decision
solar wraith
F
west raptor
Have I dropped projects because I didn't have enough experience? Yeah, everyone has
solar wraith
i have never been stopped by an error
unique nimbus
Getting errors is what programmers lives is
solar wraith
(and that of system admin)
modest maple
Bruh I gotta add to that; no matter what Language you do the bot wether you have knowledge in a similar language or not you gotta learn the basics of that language before jumping feet first
solar wraith
:3
modest maple
No matter what language you do your gonna have to suck it up and learn the basics ATLEAST before jumping into a large and unforgiving module like discord
If you learn the basics it will save you a hell of alot of headache in future
solar wraith
i will just struggle my ass through it
modest maple
It's not worth I tho, why would you rather spend hours upon hours being stuck on an error when you have no idea about the syntax and basic commands when that error could just be a syntax error, inspending a couple hrs learning the basics and not having to deal with those errors like syntax and basic errors

hoi its noob danish again
Here my youtube search command that didnt success
if(command === "youtube") {
let search = require('youtube-search');
let opts = {
maxResults: 1,
key: '' // dont steal mah api pls
};
let video = message.content.split(" ").slice(1).join(" ");
search(video, opts, (err, results) => {
if(err) return console.log(err);
message.channel.send(results);
console.log(results);
});
}```
I have tried finding useful tips in https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list but none really helped me out.
When i typed `~youtube owo` the bot send a message `[object Object]` and the console said below
languid dragon
because results is an Array of Objects
earnest phoenix
hm i just need to get the link one on the object and nothing else
languid dragon
then channel.send(<Object>.link)
earnest phoenix
i need to learn more sorry for making you spoonfeeding me
thanks
use common sense and there won't be need for that ๐

the answer to your question is yes
