oh
earnest phoenix
and see if it outputs something close to mine
earnest phoenix
do you understand how cmd works
trail kernel
no
earnest phoenix
oh amazing
trail kernel
haha
earnest phoenix
i won't teach you the basics, you have google for that
you have to run youtube-dl.exe in the location where youtube-dl.exe is located in
also remove {} in the args
trail kernel
when i ran it
earnest phoenix
can you post your entire Program.cs on paste.mod.gg, removing your token if it's in your code
earnest phoenix
i do not know why you're getting a nullref
hm
try following this https://gist.github.com/Joe4evr/773d3ce6cc10dbea6924d59bbfa3c62a
it might have something to do with this line client.CreateDirectPCMStream(AudioApplication.Mixed, 96000);
and it is
you're trying to feed it direct PCM stream which is a nono
use CreatePCMStream and AudioApplication.Music
there's your problem
trail kernel
wait so i dont need the link u sent?
earnest phoenix
nope
earnest phoenix
remove the 96000 argument
earnest phoenix
i know
trail kernel
earnest phoenix
the error is not from there
i can't point my finger at where the error is because your system font is not renderable in cmd
trail kernel
so what should i do
earnest phoenix
i guess yeah the last thing to try is to try catch in your MessageReceived handler
trail kernel
where is it
trail kernel
earnest phoenix
yes
trail kernel
thats all what it shows
earnest phoenix
what's line 54
earnest phoenix
i don't get how that can nullref
unique nimbus
Not a lot of people here used C#
trail kernel
so basiaclly my bot will never work?
unique nimbus
it will
vital lark
can you atleast google ur answer and see if someone already got that problem please
unique nimbus
However I personally don't know C# to help
vital lark
were not gonna spoonfeed you the basics of the language
trail kernel
but thats not the basics
earnest phoenix
try to remove the or part which checks for the mention prefix
trail kernel
earnest phoenix
by that i also meant to remove the actual method itself
trail kernel
hehe
earnest phoenix
so you're only left with HasCharPrefix
earnest phoenix
try to
i don't know where else a nullref could come from
you literally check is message is null and return if it is so the message can't be
earnest phoenix
i helped you resolve that part
it had no connection to voice
i don't get why voice won't stream
can you post your updated AudioService**
to paste.mod.gg
trail kernel
earnest phoenix
this is why
remove that starting point
you're already starting with youtube-dl.exe
you don't need the path to the file in the arguments again
earnest phoenix
what's your code now?
trail kernel
oh wait
ill put
a url
Arguments = $@"--no-check-certificate -f bestaudio {url} -o - | C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -i pipe:0 -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 pipe:1",
no sound is being heard
earnest phoenix
try adding -hide_banner -loglevel panic after ffmpeg.exe
the problem might be that ffmpeg is outputting its configuration which is invalid audio
trail kernel
still not working
maybe i should change it to just ffmpeg.exe instead of all that c:\....
earnest phoenix
it genuinely doesn't matter if you have ffmpeg in the c:/ffmpeg/bin directory
trail kernel
i dont know then
earnest phoenix
i guess check if ffmpeg is there
trail kernel
it is
earnest phoenix
no, in c:/ffmpeg/bin
trail kernel
it does
earnest phoenix
i don't know then, compare your code to a sample that works
i posted one above
the sample is obviously for local files
trail kernel
alright ill keep working on that tomorrow imma head off to bed now thank you very much for all the help
i really dont know how to thank you enough

How am I supposed to interact with functions and variables from one file in another?
I am currently trying something like this:
// main.js
var settings = module.exports = {
"124153124": { // Guild ID
"125135134": { // User ID
//Settings
}
}
}
module.exports = function setUpGame() {
// content
}
//game.js (command file)
const settings = require("../LDS-Bot.js").settings;
const setUpGame = require("../LDS-Bot.js").setUpGame;
if (message.guild.id in settings) {
if(message.author.id in settings[message.guild.id]) {
setUpGame(); //start game
} else {
//add to guild
setUpGame(); //start game
}
} else {
//add guild to dictionary and user to guild
setUpGame(); //start game
}
FYI: setUpGame(); needs to be able to run a function that is in the main.js file.
any help would be appreciated

@earnest phoenix python has eval?
knotty steeple
earnest phoenix
amber fractal
@slender mountain do what you just did... export the function and require it in another file
slender mountain
what about the dictionary, does that work as well?
modest maple
Python does have eval yes
You can also turn a string using int()
If you want to say divide the number split on the "/" and then int the list
slender mountain
@amber fractal currently it throws an error that says: TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'GUILD_ID_HERE' in undefined

I tried making a cooldown for my ~work command but it look like the cooldown dont do anything at all
warm marsh
Do you use external commands or all in one file?
earnest phoenix
external
warm marsh
Okay
The variable gets created each time the command is called.
You need to pass it through or add it to message or client.
earnest phoenix
ohh i c thank u
warm marsh
No worries.
earnest phoenix
Thank you it work now @warm marsh, I added it into client.Cooldowns = new Set(); so its accessible through other files in my index.js
👍
sudden geyser
@opal halo consider making a single string or something that resolves into a string and sending it to the user. If you want to be simple, you can use the split option for the 2nd argument. For example:
let cmds = ["BAN: Bans a user", ...];
message.channel.send(cmds.join("\n"));```sending over 18 messages is a horrible alternative
steel cloak
in d.js what would be the best way to keep track of time for like a mute command. like how long the person needs to be muted for and then automatically unmute them?
rare tangle
Create embed instead
steel cloak
wdym?
uncut raven
Is anyone here a gfx maker
sudden geyser
@steel cloak you should get the milliseconds and store it in case your bot unexpectedly goes offline. Periodically, check if the time has expired (or use a setTimeout) and execute your unmute stuff if it's passed time.
If you're getting time from user input, the ms module is recommended
steel cloak
ahh okay thanks so much!! have a good day (or night) 🙂

honestly command cooldowns are probably handled best in a db of some sort
but not creating a new document for each command used
especially if you want commands that can only periodically be used such as 1 week intervals, then bot restarts won't matter since it's in a db
if you have maybe 3-5 second cooldowns on all commands this wouldn't be necessary but would alleviate memory usage if it were in a db

does anyone have an example of the post data sent from the voting webhook?

that bit isnt clear
it says "JSON params" but it isnt clear if that json body is within form-encoded params or not, and i cant just do a vote to see

green kestrel
not always
ive seen apis that do this:
JSON={url-encoded-json-object-here}```and, the docs dont indicate a mimetype of the body, so im having to ask
for now i'll assume its just a json object in the post body, and that the content type is application/json, e.g. the sensible choice
green kestrel
thanks, thats what i wanted to know
fluid basin
you could test the webhook

what ive learned over the years is never assume an api is sane

by going to your bot page and using the testing button

So I’m having trouble with discord.ext tasks (Python). It appears that tasks with code inside that uses await do not start, but tasks that don’t use await inside of them work fine.
@tasks.loop(hours=3)
async def activity(self):
with open("playing.txt", "r") as file:
playing = file.readlines()
await self.bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name=choice(playing)))
print("========== ACTIVITY UPDATED ==========")
This is the task I am trying to make, I have verified that the cog that contains it is loaded and without await self.bot.change...... the task works. But with that included, the task never appears to be started.
green kestrel
yay, its done 😄 my bot now auto grants a role on the official server to anyone who votes for it on top.gg 😄
trail reef
Cool!
modest maple
Right
So
Why df do you need to create a new event just to change presence
Just create a background task from on_ready
trail reef
I like to group my code, loops should go in the loops cog, etc...
Ig if I can’t find a way to fix it I’ll just do what you said
modest maple
You can still put loops in loops cog etc...
trail reef
Oh I see what you’re saying
modest maple
All you do when creating a background task is run another function on a independent thread
trail reef
Could this be done using just discord.ext and discord or would I have to use the threading module?
modest maple
You don't use threading with async if you want to live
U legit just use what async gives tou
Async has a create background task wrapper
Which handles running background tasks for you
trail reef
So I could just have it triggered on an event like on_ready
trail reef
K
trail reef
Thanks!
green kestrel
now we'll just have to see if anyone actually votes for the bot to get the role. the bot takes the role away after 24 hours unless you vote again, so...

Hello folks 👋 Discord py question:
Any idea why I cant pull a guild-object for any of my guilds, even the ones my bots in 🤔
I'm using client.get_guild(id) @ async on ready (thats a long story), anyways its worked before the update to 1.2.5 which is the strangest part 😦
oh and I am connecting using client.run() after initializing the client if that helps
I'm able to get user object with client.get_user(id) in the same instance just fine
restive furnace
Did you put fetching guilds off from your client settings?
And what you are using: (AutoSharded)Client or (AutoSharded)Bot?
earnest phoenix
oof that may be that case! I didn't create the client with fetching guilds in mind, i think thats it!
and the bot is an autosharded bot*
So unfortunately that wasnt the case :/
Here's the relevant script, ill edit it here to make it a bit easier to work with
client=discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
global idd, typ
this = {}
this['id'] = idd #$idd is correct
try:
server = client.get_guild(idd)
except Exception as EEE:
print(f'{"response":"Error! Guild not found!", "error":"{str(EEE)}"}')
cont = False
exit(0)
if server.name == None: #Failing Here <
#Using guild.name to check if not None <
print(f'{"response":"Guild not found!"}')
cont = False
exit(0)
if cont == True:
try:
this['name'] = str(server.name)
this['owner_id'] = str(server.owner_id)
try:
client.run(TOKEN)
except Exception as grrr:
print('{'+'"fatal_error":'+f'"{grrr}"'+'}')
sleep(.1)
exit(0)
-daemon.py", line 63, in on_ready
- if server.name == None:
-AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'
Looks to me like server is undefined
have you tried logging what server brings back?
earnest phoenix
good call, trying now 🙂
Ok so server is None, referring to the docs that means "couldn't find guild"
modest maple
Just a note for you you can't get a guild object by doing client.get guild on a guild object
Client.get_guild is what you use to get the guild object
Also you using exist(0) which if I remember right closes python
That is baddddd
Because if a shard dies the program won't restart and create a new connection
modest maple
I wouldn't advise it
earnest phoenix
ok thank you
earnest phoenix
i'm quite sure my client is the issue, my main bot pulls it just fine, this is a very strange issue 🤔
modest maple
There are alot of things I don't like about that code tbh, mostly the use of exit() which you don't need in a async subroutine, secondly your putting client.run(token) in a try and except which is a lil weird seeing that you want it to crash and display the full error on a invlaid token
earnest phoenix
ok I will work on that lol
modest maple
Overall the error is that it can't find the guild with that Id now I have no idea what you're using for the id but if the bot isn't in the server I don't think it can actually get the guild object
earnest phoenix
its for an api btw so it really doesn't need to be coro, ill probs use php for this mess 😩
Thats true but i cant even fetch my admin-level servers with this instance
this is working @ on_message() just fine: guild = client.get_guild(message.guild.id)
modest maple
How r u getting idd ?
earnest phoenix
idd = 632649478288965703
modest maple
Where is that being assigned?
slender thistle
Are you waiting until your bot's internal cache is fully ready
earnest phoenix
lets try logging that actually, good call!
@slender thistle thats what i'm thinking is the issue
modest maple
If it's going off on_ready it should go when internal cache is ready anyway
modest maple
Altho message event will start firing instantly on ready should go on cache ready anyway
earnest phoenix
ok lets do it 🙂 brb
slender thistle
I very highly doubt on_ready is fired when client is FULLY ready
modest maple
I just wonder where he's assigning idd
If he's making it global in on_ready
Where df is the assignment
slender thistle
God knows but does that matter in this case
modest maple
Yh would explain why he gets a none type error
earnest phoenix
idd = the id, just ran that test
modest maple
If you Id is being assigned in a subroutine making it a local variable before you are telling it that it's a global var you're gonna get a none type error
slender thistle
NoneType error is because you are trying to get a guild your bot is either not in or your cache is drunk at the time of getting the guild
modest maple
Or it can't find the guild you given it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
earnest phoenix
yea this is madness :/ Most likely its my client, waiting for async def wait_until_ready():
was unseccessful (never fired)
slender thistle
What
slender thistle
Did you read the docs on wait_until_ready
modest maple
Lol
Idk what your were doing there xD
/ demonstrating
Mostly concerning about i-love-children
XD
slender thistle
shh
If they did what I basically tried, there would be a NameError, not AttributeError because of None.x
modest maple
I'm just thinking he's assigning idd somewhere when it is a local var
Seeing that there is no where in the on_ready() event where he assigns it
And he only makes it global in there
slender thistle
I'll just aggressively shrug it off because python never lies
modest maple
If he's got it in on_message or a different subroutine he's got it as a local variable to on_ready
Which defualts the var to none
And on_ready only fire when discord client and cache are loaded
slender thistle
I wouldn't say that's the case
modest maple
¯_(ツ)_/¯
earnest phoenix
modest maple
You've made idd global by having it outside any subrutines
slender thistle
Ah yes pastebin I can't read because it doesn't work for me
twilit rapids
It's 133 lines 
modest maple
He's assigned idd at the top of the code outside a subroutine
twilit rapids
@slender thistle
modest maple
Making it global
earnest phoenix
oh snap cont is not defined 😮
slender thistle
Uhhh
earnest phoenix
is not global*
modest maple
He then tells the subrutine on_ready to make the idd global
slender thistle
Essentially what I did
modest maple
Any var outside a subroutine in python is global by defualt
And what ever he's doing is unassigning idd
slender thistle
I may look dumb but I'm not that dumb 
modest maple
Because global idd should not work if it's already been assigned
slender thistle
earnest phoenix
just tried ```python
try:
server = client.get_guild(632649478288965703)
except Exception as EEE:
still the same error, i can assure that $idd is not the issueWould you mind doing await client.wait_until_ready() on the first line of the function on_ready
earnest phoenix
no prob, trying now 🙂
it passed but unfortunately its not the issue 😢 thank you though!
slender thistle
Is your idd variable for user ID or server ID
modest maple
What are you even trying Todo with the guild object
earnest phoenix
its a lazy attempt to create an api that fetches user/guild info, simply by supplying user/guild id's. For private use only as that would be against tos to create a public api hook
modest maple
Why does that need to be on_ready then
earnest phoenix
tbh it doesn't, my next move is to take a lower level approach. Not too big of a deal as we currently use php for discord 0auth2 and its worked decent
slender thistle
Have you tried logging idd and its type right before get_guild
modest maple
When in doubt slap a print statement
earnest phoenix
yes 🙂 printed directly before/after and both came back as expected
modest maple
Which is?
earnest phoenix
idd = 632649478288965703 # for testing
always returned as such
i even tried client.get_guild(632649478288965703)
modest maple
Which gives you and error?
earnest phoenix
yea there seems to be a low-level issue somewhere else
modest maple
Personally I don't get why it needs to be in on_ready
Saying that it should still work
earnest phoenix
no you're absolutely right, client.run isnt good for 1 shot scripts, it shouldn't even involve a loop tbh
earnest phoenix
no thats fine that works as it should

As far as regex is involved it doesn’t matter if I just take and exec user entered regex correct?
Like is there anything I have to worry about that’ll screw up my server or nothing like that?
(And yes after ensuring that the regex is actually valid)
green kestrel
it does matter.
a malicious regex can kill your bot
or maybe even your whole virtual machine if you havent set memory/cpu limits
its one of the many attacks i have had to put checks in for within duktape in my own bot
warm marsh
It's called ReDoS or something.
green kestrel
you can do things like malicious backreferences
yeah
read those and understand them and your bot will be a ton more secure @slim heart
slim heart
Is there a package or something I can just use to ensure it’s nothing bad lol
slim heart
I’m going to be adding a premium feature to my censor bot that accepted regex in server filter
It’ll be a big helpful addition
warm marsh
Make your own "regex".
slim heart
Yes
green kestrel
@slim heart if youre in full control of the interpreter of the regex you can put a timeout on its loop
thats what i was able to do, usually in js itself you cant do that
if you'd like to brainstorm ideas, i think you and i are writing similar things
slim heart
@amber fractal close to 300 people have asked for it. It’s not like they’re all gonna be regex masters coming into it however the amount of customization that comes with it would be amazing, because regex is really simple to just look up what u need with it. Like it’ll take 2 seconds for a normal user to figure out how to add a .
And then they can use it
green kestrel
the risk is from people who dont know what theyre doing
compact oriole
you can learn regex but making a bot is much more complex lol
green kestrel
not actively malicious, although theyre a threat too
its too easy to accidentally write an evil regex
like (a+)*{50}
that'd kill your bot stuck at 100% cpu the first time someone says "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
that gets worse if you try and separate it into a thread
because that thread gets stuck, and then they start another... and another...
i had to submit a pr to the people who made the js interpreter i use to prevent the problem
basically this https://github.com/svaarala/duktape/pull/2199
slim heart
Not too sure really
late hill
@earnest phoenix why are you checking if the message content includes the mention?
I'm pretty sure that would call toString() on the user object
Which in discord.js would be the mention in the form of <@userid>
Which in discord.js would be the mention in the form of <@userid>
Which in discord.js would be the mention in the form of <@userid>
Which means your code probably won't work if the user has a nickname because those mentions show up as !@userid or <@!userid> , don't know anymore.
Anyway, that check is pointless?
Just check if there's a mention or not.
Just check if there's a mention or not.
earnest phoenix
What do you mean by “Which means your code probably won't work if the user has a nickname because those mentions show up as !@userid or <@!userid> , don't know anymore.”
amber fractal
@compact oriole A bot isnt really complex. In fact, I can make a bot turn on in like 5 minutes I still don't know everything I can do with regex
compact oriole
With configurable regex checks and moderation
Lol
No-one can
And a web dashboard
amber fractal
I said make it turn on
Then checking message content against a filter is also simple.
compact oriole
Yea, but turning it on doesnt accomplish the regex stuff
Can you change the filter automatically
For any server
amber fractal
That has nothing to do. With anything
compact oriole
If you want to change the regex, can your 5 minute bot do it?
Maybe they never have coded
They would have to learn coding
amber fractal
If people pay for a regex addition, then making their own bot specifically for their server then it takes a lot less time
amber fractal
I said nothing about what his bot can and cant do
Im saying making a bot is easier than regex
compact oriole
But you said "WhY cOuLdNt yOu JuSt CoDe YoUr OwN bOt"
and no it isnt
learning coding, js, discordjs and regex combined > regex
restive furnace
btw what regex stands for? (lol, i dont rly know)
amber fractal
Regular expression
restive furnace
kk
compact oriole
Its complicated when you have never coded
amber fractal
You don't need anything advanced to check against a filter
compact oriole
Why would people with 0 coding skills make a bot
When they could use his regex thing
amber fractal
And regex is mpre complicated of you've never used it.
Because it's literally saving money.
compact oriole
Lol ur delusional
restive furnace
js is complicated, if you want professional bot.
compact oriole
Learning a new skill like coding isnt that efficent
restive furnace
js is easy, if copy paste.
compact oriole
Just pay the premium and thats it
amber fractal
What do you mean it isnt efficient
Prigrammers make super high pats and are in high demand
It's one of the most efficient career paths
compact oriole
Its easier to pay a small fine than learn tens of hours to code
Everybody doesnt know how to code
amber fractal

I never had js lessons xD (it took 1y and 2m to fully understood js)
compact oriole
But why would someone want to learn a skill for one simple thing
west raptor
if it's one simple thing why not
compact oriole
When you can have it better
restive furnace
Actually, it isnt simple, when you start making advenced things for your bot.
but until that, it is simple.
compact oriole
It isnt simple to learn to code
west raptor
it's really not that hard honestly
compact oriole
Scratch is easy, theres a reason it cant do that much
west raptor
once you grasp the basic concepts it gets so much easier
and people that want to code should be willing to do that
restive furnace
Its actually pretty easy to understand coding language, if you had ever coded w another lang than js. (not visual lang)
west raptor
it's easy to understand what's going on with any basic programming knowledge
will understand everything it's doing? probably not
but you can follow along
amber fractal
I was just trying to argue that paying for a regex addition to a filter isn't worth the simplicity of learning to make your own bot (only with the capability of checking against a filter nothing else) with the regex filtering capability.
restive furnace
(you can use google too)
west raptor
I agree @amber fractal
green kestrel
there we go, ive altered my description to tell people about the special perk they get on the support guild by voting
if only the system i made for that was more generic, i'd be happy to share it
slim heart
@amber fractal the way my bot work is really efficient and really effective as well. I’d argue it’s likely better but also like there’s other features that’d be complicated if not dumb to try and implement into another separate bot. Hosting is another issue. I don’t think it’s really fair to say that just because a feature is niche or complicated that it just shouldn’t be added lmao
green kestrel
@slim heart are you going down the customisable behaviour route too?
slim heart
@green kestrel I honestly don’t know what to do. I’m not even able to reproduce a catastrophic backtrack as claimed
green kestrel
its a thing, best thing to do is avoid letting users do regexes
unless you can be sure you can set a time limit and ram limit on them
slim heart
Again i can’t even reproduce a ReDoS
green kestrel
what language are you using?
slim heart
Js
Like I tried the (a+)+ on a bunch of a’s with a ! At the end and it just returns as expected
slim heart
I just get [“”, “”]
green kestrel
ok, sec
slim heart
I’m trying a bunch of other ones on the wiki and long ones take a few milliseconds longer but it just returns null
green kestrel
if (/^([a-zA-Z0-9]+\s?)+$/.test("no u aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!") && /^([a-zA-Z0-9]+\s?)+$/.test("no u aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!") && /^([a-zA-Z0-9]+\s?)+$/.test("no u aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!") && /^([a-zA-Z0-9]+\s?)+$/.test("no u aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!")){
console.log("looped");
}```i think that may work.
without proper limits in place, that can kill my bot
each one takes several seconds to execute
someone put it into a js handler on message create to see what would happen, only difference was they had the constants as message.content, and console.log as a create_message
slim heart
I mean that wouldn’t be a realistic scenario would it
green kestrel
in my case yes it can be
i dont just allow regexes, i allow custom code
so, someone literally put that in there
slim heart
I loop through every thing in an array make it a regex and match it against a single word
Plan would be to allow them to enter in their own regex and it’d just add it to the array
amber fractal
I didn't say it was bad or ineffective, it isn't; it's more features. However, I said I don't understand why anyone would pay

How to do a 2x2 field field when doing embed. Here's my code: ```python
def embed_start(self, user, msgid):
data = self.bj[msgid]
embed = discord.Embed(
title="BlackJack", color=14629377)
embed.set_thumbnail(url=self.bot.user.avatar_url)
embed.add_field(name="How to Play", value="In order in to win, you have to get 21 or less.......................................... ", inline=False)
mycards_string = self.get_cards_string(data[2])
botcards_string = self.get_cards_string(data[3])
embed.add_field(name="{}'s Cards".format(user.display_name), value=mycards_string, inline=True)
embed.add_field(name="{}'s Score".format(user.display_name), value="**{}**".format(data[4][1]), inline=True)
#embed.add_field(name="How to Play", value="In order in to win, you have to get 21 or less. ", inline=False)
#embed.remove_field(3)
embed.add_field(name="Opponent Cards", value=botcards_string, inline=False)
embed.add_field(name="Opponent Score", value="**{}**".format(data[4][1]), inline=True)
return embed
I'm trying to get the opponent score on one row, and the players score on another.
grizzled raven
you cant really
well you can, but it wont be consistent
as not all people will see the embed have inlins
wait
stupid me
sorry
add a blank field after p1's score that isnt inline
then make opponent's cards inline
along with score
late hill
Yes
But it's blackjack
Meaning the opponent would be the dealer
Also, if you use the blank field method up above.. The blank field will still be there as in it'll take up space, there'll be a huge gap between your 2 lines of fields
It still won't look great
restive furnace
Just, dont use inline.
sudden geyser
Not using inline fields 🤢
Sometimes they can look good (e.g. displaying small info) but too compact.
mossy vine
any errors?
restive furnace
firstly firmat your cide
- make message.content to message.startsWith
- wrongly used embed
.addField needs to be used in like this .addField(name, value, inline?)
earnest phoenix
message.startsWith would be incorrect
you call it on .content, not the message itself
sudden geyser
Adding a value is optional i believe. It's set to undefined to my knowledge
The problem is you don't actually pass a function for the 2nd arg of the listener
Notice how it's closed after the "message" string for the .on method.
earnest phoenix
value is not optional
sudden geyser
It's optional for me, but I don't know if that's a difference in versions as I'm on master. All I remember them changing is the name.
earnest phoenix
still not optional on master 
sudden geyser
earnest phoenix
sudden geyser
They re-assign it with Util.resolveString. If no value is passed, it returns "undefined". Only an empty string will throw as the string's contents is "undefined".
Anyway that's not the point of this
cobalt mesa
is it normal that the code of this embed works on my servers but not on discord bot list? please mention me if you have a solution
.setAuthor(message.guild.owner.user.tag, message.guild.owner.user.avatarURL)
.setTitle("Information à propos du serveur")
.setThumbnail(bot.user.avatarURL)
.setColor('#' + Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215).toString(16))
.addField("Nom du serveur", message.guild.name)
.addField("Nombre de membres sur le serveur", message.guild.memberCount)
.addField("Nombres de bots", message.guild.members.filter(member => member.user.bot).size)
.addField("Nombres de personnes connecté (hors bots)", message.guild.members.filter(member => !member.user.bot && member.presence.status === 'online' || member.presence.status === 'dnd' || member.presence.status === 'idle').size)
.addBlankField()
.addField("Propriétaire du serveur", message.guild.owner.user.tag)
.addField("Date de création du serveur", createdDate)
Larger servers may different conditions like uncached users (e.g. server owner is null/undefined).
cobalt mesa
the lines that pose problems are the 1st and the last
sudden geyser
Are you getting an error?
cobalt mesa
yes the error is Cannot read property 'user' of undefined
what does it mean cached users? @sudden geyser
sudden geyser
Users you have saved in your collections
for example: If you evaluated the member count with message.guild.members.size and message.guild.memberCount, they'd likely be different if you don't fetch all users.
cobalt mesa
and how fetch all users ?? like the owner of the server for example
quartz kindle
you can enable fetchAllMembers in your client options
but keep in mind that this will increase memory usage and startup time
prime cliff
Most libs have a function to download all members for a certain guild too
cobalt mesa
it's not a problem
late hill
Or just fetch the owner if that's all you need
sudden geyser
or you could use the fetch method to get a single member which is faster (depends on if your'e on master or stable)
me too slow 
cobalt mesa
@quartz kindle have you got an example to enable fetchAllMembers in the client options ??
prime cliff
Read the docs
quartz kindle
you know how you initialize the client?
let client = new Discord.Client()
you can add options to it
Client({option:value})
cobalt mesa
ah ok i didn't know
quartz kindle
the client option is to enable caching all members
which means, all servers and all users and all members will always be cached
else the bot will only cache users who are online
but you can manually cache users when you need them
using fetchMember or fetchUser (in v11)
quartz kindle
yes
cobalt mesa
oh ok thanks
if i put the fetchAllMembers option in the client, will i need to change the embed or not?
quartz kindle
no
cobalt mesa
i change the embeds only if i use the fetchUser ?
quartz kindle
yes
cobalt mesa
ok thank you very much

modest maple
cuz seems to me you want to make a bot webhook with a bot?
earnest phoenix
that's not how it works
earnest phoenix
webhooks are isolated, a thing of their own
surreal sage
ok...... 👃
earnest phoenix
what
surreal sage
thats a nose
trail reef
lol
earnest phoenix
i believe you use discord.js
modest maple
@earnest phoenix stop randomly staring every little thing
earnest phoenix
i jk
that method returns a promise so resolve that and use Webhook#send
what you're probably thinking of doing is getting a message through a bot's event and then piping it through a webhook, however a bot can't make a webhook say something, you have a webhook client of it's own that'll help you do that
since webhooks are linked to only one channel, you can directly make a request to the api with its id and token and it will send a message to that channel
but bot != webhook
be warned that having two different text channels linked and piping messages through only one bot/webhook will often lead to a ratelimit
peak bloom
that's kinda misleading, afaik many discord libs let you execute webhooks via bot context, theres not that much difference as its just another API request though not authenticated with your bot's token
earnest phoenix
uh
peak bloom
far from needing a separate "webhook client"
earnest phoenix
well
no
every lib is indeed different
but the native and only possible way is to make a request to the endpoint with your webhook's id and token
which, if some libs let you execute webhooks from a bot, they do exactly that in the background
peak bloom
via discord.js you simply get a webhook object and call send on it as if it were a channel or user
just saying that specifying "a bot can't make a webhook say something" is a bit misleading as from the devs perspective they do exactly that in a one-liner
lone lintel
!invite
peak bloom
at fault? that seems excessive
earnest phoenix
and discord.js does a lot of things for the end user because most of the userbase are 9 year olds who can't comprehend with multiplying
peak bloom
right, well i use eris which has just a client.executeWebhook
it's pretty much the same from my perspective
earnest phoenix
again, every lib is indeed different
but a bot doesn't execute the webhook
saying that it can is incorrect
peak bloom
a bot user doesn't, but a bot user doesn't do anything
the "bot" is the program controlling the bot user
so really a bot totally does execute the webhook if we're being pedantic
earnest phoenix
the only thing you do with your bot is get the webhooks, when you get your webhooks you have the access to its id and token, which means you can make requests with the webhook
lone lintel
!link
trail reef
lmao still
earnest phoenix
peak bloom
yeh, that's all true, just again think it's not a useful distinction to make nor is it helpful to the user seeking to do that with discord.js
at best you can specify "you may think to receive a message and send it to the webhook and you can do exactly that it just won't be authenticated with the bot token" which doesn't really throw any wrenches into the original plan lol
