Oh, the <@id> stopped working for me, might have to double check

@earnest phoenix @earnest phoenix (that's using both <@> <@!>)

supple raven Jan 9, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

isn't there a thing where you can do ```java
event.getAuthor().getAsMention()

#

but thats for jda, im not sure if thats in discord.js

valid frigate Jan 9, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

ok right can anyone explain why <@ and <@! is inconsistent

lilac wharf Jan 9, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Pretty sure it's something like this for DJS @outer niche

_client.on('message', message => {
  if (message.isMemberMentioned(_client.user)) {}
});```

I am the python

hoary elm Jan 9, 2020, 11:32 PM

I have a question for somebody.

My bot has a meme command which finds and sends the memes via a Reddit/subreddit link

Every now and then my bot will throw this error

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: HTTPError: Response code 429 (Too Many Requests) I am trying to get the bot the throw that error in a message instead of in the console so that when it happens and the meme doesn't send people know why and not think the bot is broken when in all reality the website is really just receiving to many requests.

lilac wharf Jan 9, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

D.JS right?

hoary elm Jan 9, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

Mhm

lilac wharf Jan 9, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

okay on the catch (I assume you're doing a try catch with an error logging)

replace console.log(error) with message.channel.send('give us some time to get our memes sorted out');

sudden geyser Jan 9, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

you can just handle the error through whatever way you're supposed to (e.g. callback or promise) and use the .message property on the error

valid frigate Jan 9, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

add a cooldown to your bot

#

eg 1 meme maybe every 10 seconds or so

hoary elm Jan 9, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

There is a default cooldown of 10s

valid frigate Jan 9, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

check reddit's api ratelimits

outer niche Jan 9, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

How can I convert this to work with @

wooden lance Jan 9, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

as in the prefix just being @?

outer niche Jan 9, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

Like @bot

valid frigate Jan 9, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

if your meme command is being used simultaneously by a lot of users, it will give that error often

wooden lance Jan 9, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

thonk

#

what language?

@hoary elm which sub-reddit are you using if you don't mind me asking

hoary elm Jan 9, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

@lilac wharf umm Reddit .com/r/memes

lilac wharf Jan 9, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Don't use reddit's api to get it rather the json to prevent issues like that

#

https://www.reddit.com/r/memes.json?sort=top&t=week

hoary elm Jan 9, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

Oh the full setup is like this got('https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/random/.json').then(response => { let content = JSON.parse(response.body); let permalink = content[0].data.children[0].data.permalink; let memeUrl = `https://reddit.com${permalink}`;

#

@lilac wharf

lilac wharf Jan 9, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

Oh you're not limiting the query that's why I believe...

#

This is something that I have for the memes reddit.

split hazel Jan 9, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

You can always consider caching alot of memes and make the cache expire every once a while and get the memes from api again and update cache

hoary elm Jan 9, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

Hmm okay thanks for your suggestions lady's and gents 😁

supple raven Jan 9, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

wait just asking, can i do the same thing with java?

lilac wharf Jan 9, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

I'd suggest something like this:

const sf = require('snekfetch');
const { body } = await snekfetch.get('https://www.reddit.com/r/memes.json?sort=top&t=week').query({ limit: 800 });

const allowed = message.channel.nsfw ? body.data.children : body.data.children.filter(post => !post.data.over_18);
if (!allowed.length) return message.channel.send(`sorry but it seems like we're out of memes`);

const randomInteger = Math.floor(Math.random() * allowed.length);

let memeEmbed = new discord.RichEmbed()
.setAuthor(`Memes Example`)
.setImage(allowed[randomInteger].data.url)
.setTimestamp()
.setColor('#3e3a11');

message.channel.send(memeEmbed);```

#

@hoary elm

#

Despacito unfortunately I'm not able to answer that question with 100% certainty but to the best that I know I don't believe so since java doesn't have the same availabilities as javascript does with packages such as snekfetch etc...

supple raven Jan 9, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

Thanks anyways!

hoary elm Jan 9, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

Yeah no I don't believe it would be the same

#

Im sure it's possible but not the same setup

#

And thanks @lilac wharf

split hazel Jan 9, 2020, 11:45 PM

How do I make my bot send a message in a channel that it just created?
message.guild.createChannel('🎉party🎉', { type: 'text' })

west raptor Jan 10, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

Guild#createChannel() returns a promise of a Channel (CategoryChannel, TextChannel, VoiceChannel)

#

So you could await it for use the .then() method @shadow copper

Hey so im trying to get my Bot auth on a pop up but when i click it it says "UNKNOWN_ERROR"

earnest phoenix Jan 10, 2020, 8:38 AM

#

10/10 lots of information

plucky briar Jan 10, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

ooh nm i had a space after the ? in the url 🤦‍♂️

#

but now, how do i close it after it being added?

glad charm Jan 10, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

We have no idea what you're on about, how about explaining what you're trying to have it do, give a small example and then an error message if there is any.

plucky briar Jan 10, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

oh ye pardon me, so if you press a button on my website you get a pop up to add the bot, once you added it it will close the pop up by itself.

#

i've done the first pop up that you can add it but it wouldn't close on its own

glad charm Jan 10, 2020, 8:52 AM

#

Are you using redirect uris?

plucky briar Jan 10, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

yes, but i asked that yesterday here but it didn't work

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

is there a way to force a field in an embed to align left or right?

#

i removed two fields and now this looks a mess.

📎 unknown.png

#

i highlighted how the uptime field seems to have alignment centre, colspan 2

#

i could put an empty field after the uptime field, which might 'force' it... but it seems like a hacky solution

quartz kindle Jan 10, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

i dont think there's anything you can do about that

warm marsh Jan 10, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

You could add an empty field in between those two all though the spacing might still be broken.

restive furnace Jan 10, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

just use \n so you can decide where you can put the info

warm marsh Jan 10, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

That's fine until the data changes into something longer then everything breaks again.

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

on an unrelated note

#

i just found a crashbug in my bot, oops

#

it had been bombing out about twice a day for about 3 or 4 days, but nobody had noticed as it instantly comes back again

#

                /**
                 * Escape all parameters properly
                 */
                for (unsigned int i = 0; i < parameters.size(); ++i) {
                        char out[parameters[i].length() + 1];
                        mysql_real_escape_string(&connection, out, parameters[i].c_str(), parameters[i].length());
                        parameters[i] = out;
                }

that char out[] is too small to hold an escaped version of the parameter if any characters are escaped
it needs to be [parameters[i].length() * 2 + 1]
to accommodate for the worst case scenario of every character being escaped with a leading "\", plus the null terminator
i hate C.

blissful scaffold Jan 10, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

Automatically restarting bots are the best ^^

#

As long as they don't get stuck in a crash loop

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

lol yeah you have to take precautions

#

i have a 30 second delay on it

#

which in theory makes it impossible to send enough IDENTIFY in a day to get the key revoked

blissful scaffold Jan 10, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

My bot tries to restart 3 times before giving up and then trying again after an hour

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

if it was stuck in a real loop though, reconnecting over and over i'd notice it within a couple of hours

#

thats a good plan

blissful scaffold Jan 10, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

My bot also sends me a dm when it restarts

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

i have mine set up to do more than that, but it had broken

#

heres my restart script

#

# run gdb in batch mode to generate mail the stack trace of the latest crash to the error_recipeint from config.json
/usr/bin/gdb -batch -ex "set pagination off" -ex "set height 0" -ex "set width 0" -ex "bt full" ./bot `ls -Art *core* | tail -n 1` | grep -v ^"No stack."$ | mutt -s "Sporks Bot rebooted, stack trace and log attached" -a log/aegis.log -- `/usr/bin/jq -r '.error_recipient' ../config.json`

#

basically, every time it restarts, get a stack trace from the last core dump, email it off to me using mutt with the last 5mb of log file attached

#

but the mutt command was broken, so i wasnt being emailed

blissful scaffold Jan 10, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

My restart script also checks every 10 minutes if I pushed a new jar file to the server and restarts the bot when there is a new version of the bot

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

ah

#

thats a good idea too

#

i decided to go with a modular approach so i just issue a command to unload the module i want to upgrade, recompile it, and issue another command to reload it

blissful scaffold Jan 10, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

I thought about doing it that way too, but restarting is quick enough and I am lazy xD

You're using machine learning in a bot?

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

not exactly, i wouldnt be so bold as call it that

#

its a simple pattern analysis that identifies sentences that declare a statement

#

so any "a is b", "b are c", "n was m" etc

earnest phoenix Jan 10, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

there's a word/phrase for that kind of thing but I don't remember what it is

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

it generally learns from discord chats, but i decided to feed it fiction

#

😄

#

if you do remember let me know, because i dont know it lol

#

@warm marsh its basically designed to learn transparently, so you can tell how it learned things. cleverbot doesnt learn, but can say lots of things. other bots (not seen any yet but im sure they exist) may learn but not transparently

earnest phoenix Jan 10, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

cleverbot learns doesn't it

warm marsh Jan 10, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

Fair. My heads in the clouds so don't understand.

#

I'll look back after will probably understand or at least be able to look it up.

green kestrel Jan 10, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

@earnest phoenix not directly no

#

i think they seed it from logs

#

so that they can vet and curate what it has in it

#

you cant go "cleverbot remember i am a banana" and have it remember that, it can establish sessions though im told

whatever language you know best

see if it has a library

most commonly seen are js and python

#

maybe java is 3rd idk

solemn fern Jan 10, 2020, 5:20 PM

I was trying to decide if I wanted to learn a new programming language specific for this task. I have done some programming in C++, but wasn't sure that would cut it.

#

Thats an interesting dilemma

solemn fern Jan 10, 2020, 5:23 PM

Hence why I asked

late hill Jan 10, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

It's your choice, are you good at C++, can you find a library that seems simple to you to use.
Do you want it to be easy? Do you want to improve your C++ skills? Do you want to learn a new language?

solemn fern Jan 10, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Always down to learn a new language. Always want to improve the skills I have. Easy isn't always better, but does make the frustration levels less. I am not sure about the library section of it.

You are asking for help for MEE6 correct?

slender thistle Jan 10, 2020, 7:36 PM

This server is for top.gg, you should contact MEE6 support on the server sent above

im sorry, what the fuck do yall not understand about i got MEE6 but how do i make a leveling system

grim aspen Jan 10, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

@earnest phoenix we aren't allowed to spoonfeed, but you should probably rely on a certain type of database to store users with variables

#

well you know

#

wait

earnest phoenix Jan 10, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

You should probably learn java or a type of code before you jump to making a discord bot levelling system

grim aspen Jan 10, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

are you asking for help with how to enable level up messages with mee6 or are you trying to code a similar system yourself?

hey any prefix ideas that aren't stupid

slender thistle Jan 10, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

w/e

earnest phoenix Jan 10, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

it worked tho thts all i care

#

BTW we aint supposed to talk here

slender thistle Jan 10, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

i said 'that aren't stupid'

slender thistle Jan 10, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Play around, get some prefixes as options and ask people

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

I meant ones that you don't have to break a hand to type

mossy vine Jan 10, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

a

#

no need to break a hand

#

isnt widely used

#

arguably not stupid

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

maybe

slender thistle Jan 10, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

stupid is somewhat subjective

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

but will mess up command names

#

ahelp

#

akick

#

ainfo

#

ainvite

#

anyone using ] as prefix?

mossy vine Jan 10, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

yes

#

but "you gotta break a hand to type" that

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

if you want something simple you could always set up aliases @tiny viper

mossy vine Jan 10, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

wrong guy to ping

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

Oof sorry

#

🤦🏻‍♂️

#

Just noticed that

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

hmm

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

Aliases help make commands shorter so a alias for the help command would be "h"

slender thistle Jan 10, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

ah being prefix + alias for help command

#

sounds interesting

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

but you could just say ah in conversation

#

obvs could change the key...

#

but still problems like

#

o info

#

would become oi

#

o kick would be ok

#

and you could kick someone lol

slender thistle Jan 10, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

tbh mention prefix and something like %

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

Lol see it would make it interesting but I see what you mean about could be problematic

#

I honestly usually use mention prefix or something simple like / to avoid people typing in chat triggering the bot.

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

% is used

#

by AppBot

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

So you want something unique?

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

something to avoid getting 'common prefix' on this server anyway

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

So what about like "`"

#

Or "*"

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

maybe

mossy vine Jan 10, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

is common

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

preferrably something that doesn't need shift

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

Really? Never seen it 🤔

tiny viper Jan 10, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

so maybe [ or ]

mossy vine Jan 10, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

Ł doesnt need shift mmLol

#

neither does ß

hoary elm Jan 10, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

Now that's unique

someone join my amazing radio

broken jay Jan 10, 2020, 7:59 PM

Ok thx

blissful scaffold Jan 10, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

If all bots use a prefix then the best thing would be to not use a prefix at all thinksmart

quartz kindle Jan 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

just use mention as the only prefix

ruby talon Jan 10, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Or mention as second prefix & a customizable prefix ¯_(ツ)_/¯

copper cradle Jan 10, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

yea don't join his amazing radio

empty owl Jan 10, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

hey

#

?eval message.channel.send(bot.channels.get("652683584733184000").lastMessage.content)

#

why does taht work once

#

then never agin

#

this is my code btw

  let content = bot.channels.get('652683584733184000').lastMessage.content
  let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
    .addField("Change Log", content)
  message.channel.send(embed)

#

it used to do promise pending but idk now

#

or does it need to cached messages or somethign

quartz kindle Jan 10, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

lastMessage will only have a message if its in the cache

empty owl Jan 10, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

oh

quartz kindle Jan 10, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

else it returns null

empty owl Jan 10, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

cached means basically after restart

quartz kindle Jan 10, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

cached means the bot received a message from that channel and saved it in the cache

empty owl Jan 10, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

oh ko

#

thanks

summer torrent Jan 10, 2020, 9:21 PM

hey all, im doing stuff with regex

 var replace = `${pPrefix}someone`;
var re = new RegExp(replace, "g");
  finalMessage = message.content.replace(re, `<@${person}>`);
}```
    
SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /?someone/: Nothing to repeat
the normal prefix is ?
i did a \ before but it still doesnt seem to work

sudden geyser Jan 11, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

you need to escape the question mark as it makes the point optional.

empty owl Jan 11, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

how would u do that

sudden geyser Jan 11, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

with a backslash. You said you did, but I doubt it was correct: /\?someone/yourflags

empty owl Jan 11, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

oh

#

but im doing it like this

#

var replace = ${pPrefix}someone;

#

so do i just put a \ infront of ${pPrefix}

#

@sudden geyser

sudden geyser Jan 11, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

Try escaping it twice (using two \\), that may pose a problem for different prefixes.

empty owl Jan 11, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

ok thanks

#

wdym for different prefixes

sudden geyser Jan 11, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

like the length or whatever the prefix may be

empty owl Jan 11, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

oh okay thanks

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 2:51 AM

im trying 2 make a bug report command something like -bug bot this is the bug. So something like bot is the location and this is the bug is the reason. Im making an embed so it has a field were it only states the bug and then another field for the reason. I am not able 2 have it show only 1 word is pretty much my problem. Code >>https://hastebin.com/sacolideji.js

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

can you rephrase your problem

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

oh ya

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

sorry it was kind of confusing

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

pretty much im trying 2 have the bot say the first word in the command in 1 field in the embed, then the rest of the words in another field

#

if that makes any more scence

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

oh yeah

#

so the first field should be the location

#

and the second, description of the bug?

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

yes

#

thats a much better explination

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

mhm

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

something like this happens

#

📎 unknown.png

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

ah

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

ya

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

so you're having a problem with field 2

#

mk

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

correct

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

well

#

i notice in line 20 you're using words.slice(0).join(' ') which seems unncessary

#

since words is already an array, you can just get the first word by using words[0]

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

ok.

valid frigate Jan 11, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

so in your if comparison, you could replace if (!location) to if (!words[0])

#

or if (words.length == 0)

oak minnow Jan 11, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

ok. thanks!

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.

just Google jdk install and it should redirect you to Oracle's page to install

vital lark Jan 11, 2020, 9:51 AM

well

#

it won't work without the server running

lilac wharf Jan 11, 2020, 9:51 AM

That's the NPM edition of it

#

You'll need the JDA version to run the server then the JS package version to work with javascript.

you don't need the JDA version

Hello,
please can someone point me the way, how do i distribute my bot?

The bot is running in a container already, and i think i should learn kubernetes for distributing it, but how do i tell the sharding manager what node to start what shards on? Also, should i make 1 shard per container or 1 container with a sharding manager?

Help is much appreciated if anyone has knowledge on this!

vital lark Jan 11, 2020, 9:52 AM

you just need this running in the background process: https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/665492393105293312

@viral spade I use heroku to host my bots

vital lark Jan 11, 2020, 9:53 AM

it's literally an http server running locally emitting events with a websocket

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

My mind is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

vital lark Jan 11, 2020, 9:53 AM

which the lavalink package does automatically

Holy crap this is so confusing

vital lark Jan 11, 2020, 9:53 AM

when the server is running

viral spade Jan 11, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

@golden condor but they run on one flexible virtual machine i guess?

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 9:53 AM

Nope

#

Upload all your files to github

#

For the bot

viral spade Jan 11, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

nah man is not public

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 9:54 AM

You can make it private on github]

lusty quest Jan 11, 2020, 9:54 AM

usually sftp should work too

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

It's the best hosting option for free

lusty quest Jan 11, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

nothing is free. Free hosters like to make a copy of the files on the server and maybe use them on theyre own

vital lark Jan 11, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

eh not really

#

plus I don't think you can run Lavalink on Heroku

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

It is literally just an online terminal that auto runs node index.js for you

vital lark Jan 11, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

well

#

it'll cancel after a certain time

#

iirc

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

Nope

#

It automatically runs it

#

And when you make a change to your file, it notices and restarts

lusty quest Jan 11, 2020, 9:57 AM

running the bot on a Raspberry would be better than any free host in my opinion

i know a little bit docker but dont found out how to run shards on different Containers without having a new Instance running

viral spade Jan 11, 2020, 9:59 AM

but still on heroku, if you lets your bots run on different virtual machines, you would have to have some kind of orchestration, no?

never used it

#

so I have no idea

viral spade Jan 11, 2020, 10:00 AM

The basic plan would more than likely be free but if you need more and more stuff like ram the cost will be more is what Linck01 was saying.

Yeah well I can't do stuff if I need to go help out]

lilac wharf Jan 11, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

okay see you later then.

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

I am back now

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

what the hell

#

am i allowed to swear here?

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

I did and it was fine

lilac wharf Jan 11, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Don't believe cursing is against the rules.

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

yeah just looked and i’m safe ablobsweats

#

Anyways, once you get that OS installed search on youtube "setup ssh on ubuntu server" (if you go with ubuntu)

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

I found I pretty good solution

#

Now

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

ok so I have a code which converts the url you submit to the api to an image and then write's it into the database

#

it makes an id and pushes the id for the image into a json file

#

fs.writeFile("./sonic_ids.json", JSON.stringify(idObject, null, 4), (err) => {
    if (err) {  console.error(err);  return; };
     console.log("The Sonic Images ID File has been updated");

#

everything worked

#

but it doesn't update the json file

#

the json file stays the same

#

nothing gets added

#

before I do fs.writeFile it pushes an id

#

then I write the file

#

idk where the problem is

#

and I noticed it also doesn't log that the file has been updated

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

I really don’t suggest storing data like that in a json file in the first place

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

its not about how I store it its about why it doesn't work

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

After a while of a lot of writing the json file will collapse on itself and cause eternal hell in your server

#

i never could get writeFile to work

#

stack overflow it

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

k

#

then I will use a different storing method

knotty steeple Jan 11, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

get a cdn

#

first of all

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

You could even use a simple database to do all of the storing

knotty steeple Jan 11, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

sqlite works

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

I don't think I can use a cdn for glitch

#

im a cancer dev

knotty steeple Jan 11, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

an image api needs a cdn

#

to be optimal

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

you can't do that on glitch sorry

glacial mango Jan 11, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

This says I mention 1 member but I mention twice?

const abc = '@Evo#4850 @Evo#4850'
msg.mentions.users.size```

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 12:11 PM

#

@glacial mango that is how that is supposed to work

glacial mango Jan 11, 2020, 12:12 PM

#

Then how do I get the amount of mentions?

knotty steeple Jan 11, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

thats because its the same user

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

@glacial mango i assume you have an arguments variable

glacial mango Jan 11, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

Can I get 3 if I do @glacial mango @glacial mango @glacial mango

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

why would you get 3

knotty steeple Jan 11, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

it has to be a different user

glacial mango Jan 11, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

Because there are 3 mentions

round sky Jan 11, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

yes

#

but that isnt how collections work

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

there are 3 mentions but 1 user

#

look at your code

glacial mango Jan 11, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

Can I get the amount of mentions and not of users?

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

free hosting isn't and will never be good, no one will let you use their resources 24/7 for free, don't be a cheapskater because renting a vps costs a few bucks a month

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

I am 13, got no virtual money so

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

and

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

im 13 too and use the vps from someone else cuz he gave me a place in his vps

#

for free

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

Your lucky then

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

maybe you can ask him

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

Who?

#

he is?

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 12:34 PM

@sterile minnow this guy

sterile minnow Jan 11, 2020, 12:34 PM

Hmm?

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

Tayron can you give Cxllm maybe a space in your vps or something

#

anything is better than glitch seriously

well anyways I was here cuz I have problems with my storing

#

mongo db is cancer for me

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

small scale or big scale?

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

its just for id's

#

image id's

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

ah

#

sqlite is enough

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

k

#

currently I do it in a json file which is cancer ik

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

since it's local you can move it around

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

sure

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

@marble juniper should I trust him

#

The vps guy

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

@golden condor sure Im also hosting my bot on his vps you can trust him

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

Does he update the bot every time you do?

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

once you save your code the bot restarts automatically

#

it you make a file

#

or change a file and so on

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

Not happy with the status

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

status what

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

@marble juniper I don't host by glitch btw, my code is on there but uptimerobot keeps it up

marble juniper Jan 11, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

k

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

So it isn't bad

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

it is lol

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

No

#

It's uptimerobot

#

Not glitch

#

I have my ways

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

which are bad

#

also i was saying glitch is bad

#

the uptimerobot is a nice utility, that breaks glitch's TOS lol

golden condor Jan 11, 2020, 1:15 PM

I can use repl then

Is it possible to check if a string has ||spoilers|| ? I'm using js

earnest phoenix Jan 11, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

mdn, String.includes()

#

?

#

or you could make custom regex

west raptor Jan 11, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

String.includes() is not reliable

#

@glacial mango you're gonna want to make or find a regex for it

Go to your dev portal

put the right token in

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

Select your app

young forge Jan 11, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

It is the right token

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

On the left, you have "Bot"

#

Click on it and reveal your bot token

#

and then, put it in your code

#

You are probably using the client secret

mossy vine Jan 11, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

ive been making bots for like 2 years and i still sometimes use the client secret instead of bot token

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:26 PM

quartz kindle Jan 11, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

its normal for it to change

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

Not really

quartz kindle Jan 11, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

a part of it is based on the current timestamp

#

Why does it change though

#

I didn't regenerate a new one

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

The token shouldn't change once you generated it

young forge Jan 11, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

Unless I regenerate a new one

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

at least, shouldn't change randomly

readthedocs

uneven wyvern Jan 11, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

Math.<method>()

quartz kindle Jan 11, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

the token does change, even if you dont regenerate it

#

because its encoded using the current timestamp the moment you open the page

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

🤔

modest maple Jan 11, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

@uneven wyvern no like with actually naths

#

Like you do in school

quartz kindle Jan 11, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

its not the token itself that changes, only the token wrapper/encoder

flat pelican Jan 11, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

yes

modest maple Jan 11, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Like basic percentage calculations from high school

topaz fjord Jan 11, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

((amount of online users) / (amount of users)) * 100

#

that's basically it

quartz kindle Jan 11, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

but if you go to your page and click copy token, then refresh the page and copy it again, it will be different

topaz fjord Jan 11, 2020, 4:30 PM

that's the type of math

Math.round(x)

mossy vine Jan 11, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

you legit typed it in that message

topaz fjord Jan 11, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

where x is the number

mossy vine Jan 11, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

also why are you flooring a rounded number

topaz fjord Jan 11, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

rounds up or down based on what the value is

#

flooring a rounded number does nothing

uneven wyvern Jan 11, 2020, 4:35 PM
