lets say i send embed message

Just replace the embed with a new embed thats identical just with the field you want changed

so i changed my bots server and im fairly sure it was crashing and restarting all night due to a little oopsie.... anyways now i cant connect to discord using any token from that application in the dev portal... if i make a new app/bot and use it its fine. what can i do to fix this?
earnest phoenix
check your email first to see if discord had contacted you
if not, you got api banned and you have to wait it out
fossil frigate
how long?
modest maple
You can
earnest phoenix
you can
errant tusk
it happened to me before (multiple times), they just reset your token
fossil frigate
no emails and my token even regened dosent work
modest maple
They reset your token if it happens again they ban your IP in a set time frame
fossil frigate
its not an ip ban though i just cant use that one bot
earnest phoenix
spamming the endpoint repeatedly will cause you to hit a ratelimit, if you keep hitting the endpoint while the ratelimit bucket had not expired you'll get api banned
fossil frigate
aighty, well how long do they usually last?
fossil frigate
its been two days
errant tusk
doubt you got a ban
fossil frigate
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
earnest phoenix
contact discord about it
modest maple
Just an fyi
earnest phoenix
did you state it was your app
earnest phoenix
it's an auto response lmaooo
earnest phoenix
reply to it that you want to speak to an actual person
a member of the trust and safety team will then get to manually replying
modest maple
Each time you get a ratelimit your request limits go down for X amount of time, if you keep spamming somthing like status change or messages your limit will stay low for a while, continued spamming of the API after resets or spamming token regens and logins can get you banned for a ehile
errant tusk
doubt
modest maple
Wdym doubt
earnest phoenix
api bans don't last two days
fossil frigate
i only regened like three times
modest maple
Not normally no
modest maple
If it's over anything over a day can mean application termination but that's a very severe case
earnest phoenix
anyways, just reply to the sent email that you want to speak to an actual person - it works
errant tusk
you have to spam like retard to get api banned
fossil frigate
earnest phoenix
yeah that's an automated response
fossil frigate
yea it has code to autostart itself but it was crashing on start so weird things happend

anyway to give a bot an animated icon? and if i change the bots name will it stick on the website

No animated icon ability

No

fallow mango
k 😦
slender thistle
You'll only dig a deeper hole for yourself if you try to bypass it
fallow mango
wouldnt i get banned if i found how to do that anyway?
slender thistle
Most likely your bot would get deleted in average cases
the worst being your account getting banned
modest maple
I mean discord takes the first Frame of any image or gif you pass it unless it's a user account with nitro
fallow mango
oooof

How do I fix the “The port is already used” error? It occurred because I spawned 2 shards on the file that I used to both host my website and my bot.
tiny tinsel
@earnest phoenix Use different port or kill the process that uses it.
earnest phoenix
like different port for different shards?
tiny tinsel
All shards are on the same port.
modest maple
(all shard should be on the same port)
If they're not then fuck knows what you've done
amber fractal
@modest maple could be running on a different server
@earnest phoenix only make one webhook
modest maple
You know how big of a bot you would need to make multi-server bot hosting feasible

how would i get multiple prefixes other than server prefixes like make it so i can use the 668876359363461139

**PYTHON USERS**im trying to give a player a role when they join but don't know how to like give it. Im new to bot coding and it is very confusing
even though my bot has 400 lines of cod

oak minnow
@fallow mango Im not good at Python but try this:
@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
role = discord.utils.get(member.server.roles, id="<role ID>")
await bot.add_roles(member, role)
``` Just put role ID well, the roles ID
west raptor
no spoon feeding please
oak minnow
sorry
fallow mango
ill try it
earnest phoenix
;)
west raptor
I mean not really
it gives everything you need
and assumes you know how to make event listeners
oak minnow
a good way 2 get good at coding is, try new things, google it, expiriment, recode and keep trying. If you are just beond confused/stuck then try and ask the question
im currently working on trying 2 have my bot auto delete new messages on a specific channel
ik the general bases, just not how 2 get the bot 2 detect the new messages on the specific channel
west raptor
command?
fallow mango
@dreamy jacinth.event
async def on_member_join(member):

can you give the errors then

i use a bat file

west raptor
because it slows down over time
fallow mango
not wrong
west raptor
I almost have my computer on but i use linux
yes i do host somethings on here
but i dont recommend it
west raptor
I recommend either getting a home server setup or just getting a cheap vps
contabo is very inexpensive, trustworthy, and good for the price
fallow mango
i dont know how to get a host though i jsut have a bat file with ```bat
@echo off
py bot.py
pause``` in it
that easy
its free
no money
no vps trials
no fees
no nothing
fallow mango
moderate, decent uptime with very good internet
west raptor
running a bat file should not be a permanent regardless
west raptor
then why are you recommending it
west raptor
being lazy gets you no where in this field
unique wagon
@quasi marsh
When you run:
m#backup create
it runs this code:
@cmd.bot_has_permission(manage_channels=true)
quasi marsh
Can I see the full command code?
quasi marsh
Alright so
quasi marsh
@earnest phoenix.has_permission with discord.py will mean that the user that runs the command needs the "Administrator" permissoion
unique wagon
wait
this could be old code....
oh no
its not
wtf
im SURE i removed tjhat line...
ok so... ill remove that @quasi marsh
what else
quasi marsh
well what permission do you want the person to execute the command to have?
unique wagon
Everything else
if it dosnt have those perms it will crash
ok i removed the cmd.bot admin check
What else do i need to do?
i mean, that should be it lol
quasi marsh
I mean requiring admin is fine
quasi marsh
But you should make sure that users are aware that they need it
unique wagon
no
i got declined for having it
so they said to use this method
Just one question...
is all this right?
it should all be right
i never used the has permission tho
unique wagon
wot
quasi marsh
It's important for your bot's users to be aware of what permissions they need to run the command
unique wagon
Well
it will say that they need it
maybe invite it to test....
let me build and run it
quasi marsh
In addition
Administrator is consired a "dangerous" permissions
It's because admin gains all permissions and also ignores all channel overrides
unique wagon
exactly
thats why i removed it.
Ill DM you the invite for the server to test.
so you can see what i mean about the checks thing
quasi marsh
Well not really needed
quasi marsh
So you require manage_messages, manage_channels, manage_emojis and manage_webhooks
quasi marsh
So
Missing any of these permission will, when the command is ran, raise a discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions
Do you have code to handle this?
unique wagon
ye i think
what happens ^
when u give it that perm
and run it again
it will say the OTHER perm it needs
and you keep repeating until its happy
Maybe the tester got confused and thought its the same error?
When its regarding for another permission??
blissful scaffold
You can't check all permissions at once and show a list of missing permissions?
blissful scaffold
I cant really help you with that language, it looks like python?
unique wagon
Look,
I got a developer to make half of it
i know HARDLY any py, and thats why im a noob lol
I only know some basics
The developer didnt put in any checks
and i needed to do it myself.
quasi marsh
Can I see the full code of the command?
quasi marsh
m#backup
unique wagon
i rather not -=-
quasi marsh
Make sure to clean out anything that should remain private
blissful scaffold
Maybe you can send it to Grobbe in a DM if you dont want to share it here
unique wagon
he has dms disabled
and you know how i deleted the admin check?
Guess what.... it was a user check
lmao
now i gotta add it back...
this is the error output
unique wagon
@quasi marsh ya know whats going on?
lol sorry for earilier i didnt understand lol
earnest phoenix
And cant activate the bot token
blissful scaffold
@unique wagon make sure to keep a backup of the command before changing stuff
unique wagon
yep
blissful scaffold
@earnest phoenix I don't think we can really help if you don't have a computer.
But I think it should be possible to get a bot token with the mobile browser
blissful scaffold
You need to program a bot to be able to use it
earnest phoenix
Ight
unique wagon
If you don't have a computer, gl having a server.
quasi marsh
@unique wagon without seeing the full thing i can't really help you
I've send you a friend request
quasi marsh
DM me the code, i'll go to bed to sober up
unique wagon
You don't need to see any of that.
quasi marsh
Fair
balmy lantern
So on a scale from 1 to 3.97, how good is auctions?
earnest phoenix
No
balmy lantern
?
quasi marsh
The main thing however is, like for example
unique wagon
All i need to do,
quasi marsh
To run the create command, your bot want certain permissions
unique wagon
Is put all of the checks
into one check.
ye
exactly
we want to put it at the start.
quasi marsh
I need to know what your bot is doing exactly to warrant the need for them
unique wagon
i can tell you what it does.....
and it better for you to test it
It needs these perms:
Channel
Message
Webhook
Emoji
All of these manage.
earnest phoenix
I have a sever
blissful scaffold
did you already try to run the command on your own server with 0 permissions and then only give the permissions that it asks for?
unique wagon
manage channel
Manage message
manage webhook
Manage emoji
Yep @blissful scaffold
it all works.
thats why
im going nuts
that im getting declined
(Sorry for the way i type... i just type this way lol)
blissful scaffold
You really should try to add all the missing permissions in one message
unique wagon
thats what im trying to do...
blissful scaffold
This says permissionS, check if it can handle more than 1 permission at the same time?
Maybe check how that function is build and what arguments it accepts
unique wagon
im waiting for @quasi marsh
quasi marsh
I'm fairly certain it can
unique wagon
idk how to
quasi marsh
Essentially
unique wagon
🙌
quasi marsh
cmd.bot_has_permissions(perm_x=True, perm_y=True, perm_z=True)
balmy lantern
So on a scale from 1 to 3.97, how good is auctions?
vital lark
that is a valid option
blissful scaffold
The output is probably the same as when you have 1 argument in it
quasi marsh
Well, the @cmd.bot.bot_has_permission stuff is referred to as a decorator
So what that means is that before the command is ran, your bot will first execute the decorators before it
quasi marsh
Yeah but what I'm thinking is
blissful scaffold
And I guess if one of the decorators fails it wont execute the command
quasi marsh
What if something is fucked
And your bot says
oi
i need perm X
But the problem is caused by the bot wanting perm y
quasi marsh
So it's telling reviewers here to give the bot perm X when it's wanting perm Y, so when it still is not working they decline it
unique wagon
i dont understnad
cant i just get accepted.
I mean
it all works
its not my fault the tester things it says the same thing
when its not
lmao
blissful scaffold
when was the last time your bot got declined?
unique wagon
last year
I was so over it
i never applied back
And i want to get this done
-=-
unique wagon
exactly
And every time
i got declined
Not being rude
its the same person who assess me....
i re applied HOPING someone NEW would test it and accept me
quasi marsh
Also just to be sure
quasi marsh
When you change the code, are you making sure that the code is actually changed
blissful scaffold
oily doesn't check bots
quasi marsh
If I remember you are working with another developer
quasi marsh
So when the code is changed by you, is that replicated on the server that hosts the bot
unique wagon
for a shit load of money.... smh
And i still didnt get it working.
@quasi marsh
incorrect
I wish it did that
lmfao
I have to REMOTE connect
to my server
EVERY time
and edit it
quasi marsh
oof
unique wagon
and rebuild it and run it manually.
blissful scaffold
that is why i prefer to write my own bad code instead of depending on someone else's bad code
quasi marsh
hehe
quasi marsh
are you editing it on the server?
unique wagon
ye
quasi marsh
or uploading your local code?
quasi marsh
i would recomend getting to know the scp command
quasi marsh
if you don't mind btw, i do have to go to bed
blissful scaffold
I use winSCP when I need to transfer files to my linux server
quasi marsh
i have a visitation day for the school i want to go to so i shouldn't be too tired
blissful scaffold
night kuiken
quasi marsh
gn
blissful scaffold
i should be going to bed too soon
blissful scaffold
zara, your pc and server are both windows?
unique wagon
yeee
blissful scaffold
I guess you are just copying your changed files to the server?
blissful scaffold
When you change and restart your bot make sure to test your changes in your test server
blissful scaffold
and make sure to always keep a backup ^^
unique wagon
yrp
blissful scaffold
you should talk with the people who decline your bot
but that is already 4 months ago or so
blissful scaffold
try to add the permissions in one message like we explained ^^
and test if it works
blissful scaffold
Grobbekuiken said it would look something like this
cmd.bot_has_permissions(perm_x=True, perm_y=True, perm_z=True)
unique wagon
ik
blissful scaffold
it also only displays one at a time when the message looks like that?
blissful scaffold
I think it will show a message for all the permissions that are missing, but you should try it
unique wagon
trying now
blissful scaffold
With my bot I can give a list with all permissions that a command needs and it will show a message with every missing permission, but that is something I wrote myself
blissful scaffold
nice ^^
blissful scaffold
looking goooood
now you can also do that for all the other commands that need more than 1 permission
also check what the message shows if the backup load command is only missing 1 or 2 permissions
unique wagon
ye
time to do it to the backup command
lol
its all right
time to apple
LUL
blissful scaffold
good luck ^^
unique wagon
thanks lol
reapply *

Tysm @quasi marsh (when you wake up :D )
thanks all of you.

so for some reason my bot doesnt launch its shards anymore
all the shards take too long to get ready
and so they never actually come online
i havent changed anything at all in like 2 weeks and this just started happening yesterday
does anyone know why this might happen? thanks!
blissful scaffold
Discord is a stable platform and never breaks
Aka, it might be something on discord's side

i thought so too but then why do other bots work?

My bots are small enough that they don't need shards, so I can't help with that

There is an asynchronous function in the filter inside the emoji collection function(collector), but I cannot write await. What should I do? (nodejs)
vital lark
@quartz hill you append async to the filter inside and use await
const array = [];
array.filter(async () => await something());
When I write this style, it does not wait, but I tried.
const filter = async (reaction, user) => {
let credits = await Utils.getCredits(user.id);
if (!credits && user.id != cfg.botid) {
if(reaction.emoji.id !== e){
return false;
}
let minutes = Utils.getCreditsTime(user.id);
Utils.sendEmbedFooter(msg, 'hak_kalmadi', user.username, minutes);
return false;
}
return reaction.emoji.id === e && user.id != cfg.botid
}
let collector = msg.createReactionCollector(filter, { maxUsers: 1, time: cfg.randomCharTime });
While collector is forming, it ignores the contents of the filter.
What should I do in this situation?
late hill
Not entirely sure if async functions would work there
What are you doing with the collector
The code you posted just creates a collector
Doesn't do anything with it
quartz hill
the continuation
This code get the id of the person who pressed the first emoji except the bot.
If he has enough credit, he agrees to print emojis. But if not, he ignores and waits for someone else to press.
I did not write the code because the continuation is long.
late hill
Yeh
It won't work with an async function as filter
The collector would have to await the result of the filter
Which it doesn't
What you could do
still merlin
Please can someone help me I have a issue with my code
late hill
Is just filter the emoji and the user
And then in the collect event, you can use an async function that does the credits stuff
@quartz hill ^
still merlin
Can someone help me i use a thing called glicth to make a bot but I typed "discord.js": "3" and it didnt work for me
I was trying to create a bot that PMS the hole discord server
late hill
Depending on the size of the server and the speed of your PMS, that could be a very big issue
Please just don't do that
Why would you even want to do that
If it's going to be the same message, just send that message in the server and tag everyone
still merlin
for important things plus a bot test
for my own youtube discord
PMS the hole server when I realise a new video
modest maple
@still merlin
- this is not glitch support
- we recommend you remove that command entirely as we don't tolerate ToS abuse when you know your doing it

Wait theres ToS
modest maple
That's is a massive API abuse and is against ToS of discord
still merlin
Omg I'll delete RoboPM then
I saw a video of someone doing it
I thought it was legal becuase it was a tutorial
still merlin
Ok
Can someone tell me how to do some basic code
or just like to make my bot do something .-.
quartz kindle
If youre using discord.js, learn javascript first
still merlin
Ok, Is there any link were I can start
quartz kindle
You can look for javascript tutorials, or use websites like codecademy
still merlin
Ok! Thanks
I'm gonna try my best to create a bot that makes announcements when you ping the bot like @botname Tell #channel message
Hey guys, How do I add the code to the bot
In discord developer is there a way I can upload a file
quartz kindle
Discord developer gives you a bot token, which you use to make your bot login
But you need to code your bot yourself, and run it yourself
And host it somewhere

@fiery crater they way I know webhooks work is, you put there an url, and then top.gg will make a request to they url whenever someone votes your bot, so you intercept that request and do whatever you want with it

how can i use this?

google exists
worn drift
i already try but i dont found the answer for my problem
worn drift
i seach this "discord js answers only can be an number" xD
Sorry but with this i still dont know how can i do this xd
sudden geyser
convert to a number (like cry said) then compare it
worn drift
convert what?
sudden geyser
can you provide the link
sudden geyser
are you possibly using discord.js, I remember my friend having the same issue, which (I think) was pinned on the issues tab of the github repo
near ether
yea im using djs
earnest phoenix
wheere support?
sinful lotus
either something gets blocked on bot launch.
EX: loading guilds / members / cache etc blocks your bot event loop.
something db related?
EX: using something like an SQLite on big projects.
something server related?
EX: too weak cpu to load guilds / members / cache in time
somethign discord related?
EX: nothing u can do
earnest phoenix
how do i add the bot?
near ether
i am logging my bot's launch processes
and i see that it can load the database and everything just fine
worn drift
and about my problem :/? anyone can help?
sinful lotus
first step is logging client.on('debug') and see if anything is unusual on booting it on
near ether
oo i see
scenic kelp
@worn drift You were literally given the answer to your problem
sinful lotus
I encountered an issue on d.js on some bots that it cant fire ready because the cpu cant keep up on cache
and it blocks the event loop
worn drift
where @scenic kelp
scenic kelp
If you don't know how to do that I suggest further learning javascript before continuing on your bot-building endeavours
scenic kelp
sinful lotus
if you understand Event Loop you would realize what Im trying to point here on what maybe the cause of why your bot doesnt boot up
worn drift
But on my bot only need this and i finish him ..
sinful lotus
but if you dont, think of it like something is blocking the way for other tasks to execute
sudden geyser
This is the issue btw https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/issues/3201
worn drift
it's literally the last thing i need to finish
sinful lotus
but personally
I run 17k avg guilds in single process
and encounter no issues at all
so it could be also code related
near ether
i know its not my cpu or something bc it was lighting fast a few days ago
then all of a sudden it just silently dies
sinful lotus
but if your bot gets added on big guilds
and your code cant keep up
thats an issue
near ether
thanks kino btw, im gonna check that
sinful lotus
as well keep track of what you use on your d.js master
running very outdated builds also causes issues
so keep that in mind
near ether
i dont think im using an outdated djs build
scenic kelp
@worn drift Use the Number() function. It takes a string and converts it to either a Number or a NaN.
near ether
but ill check it out just in case
sinful lotus
I run a PR build without any issues and is not also that outdated like 3 or 2 commits behind
current build on master
near ether
im gonna your try the client.debug() suggestion, what should i be looking for with those logs?
sinful lotus
it should show it caches members during the start up
if that takes too long to the point your bot cant heartbeat
then your bot will never fire ready on that case
red umbra
how do I get my bot invited here?
sinful lotus
earnest phoenix
how do i get more people useing my server? how do i bump it?
near ether
alright i tried client.on('debug') and the only message it logs is "authenticated using token ____"
sinful lotus
so it gets stuck on that?
near ether
yea
then the shard fails to launch
ie "Shard 0's Client took too long to become ready."
sinful lotus
then something is blocking your bot from logging in
try doing it on other server or your pc
worn drift
@sinful lotus after you finish here you can help me with one thing on private?
sinful lotus
if it goes in there
blissful scaffold
could there be a firewall that is blocking your connection?
sinful lotus
then your server might have some problems on connecting to d.api
near ether
alright ill give that a shot
sinful lotus
which is firewall or cloudflare or discord beaned the ip
and on the side note on who pinged me, Im not your personal helper
ask your question here and wait
near ether
the weird thing is this problem started happening on like thursday, and sometimes my bot launches fine, but silently dies
sinful lotus
I will answer if I want to or I know the answer
near ether
sometimes it takes ~40 minutes for it to respond to ;help lol
then other times it doesnt launch at all
sinful lotus
thats why test it on other server or your pc
near ether
gotcha brb ty!

its m5a.large it definitely should be able to

modest maple
Read the error
near ether
8 gb ram and 2 vpcus, i checked their stats and it consumes like 10% or less cpu after a full day of usage on my bot
worn drift
@modest maple and now
sinful lotus
@near ether yes seems ur hosting got its ip flagged or routing to d.api bad
I suggest to raise an issue or leave them
near ether
oh shit wym ip flagged/routing bad?
sinful lotus
ip flagged for abuse probably?
routing bad = their path to discord api is bad
basically lot of bad routers or bridges on the way to d.api server
or bad connections, overloaded too probably
near ether
damn
so you suggest i bring this up with aws?
also if my ip was flagged for abuse then how come my bot will work perfectly sometimes?
when it does work, it just becomes unresponsive after a few hours
sinful lotus
then you can rule out flagged ip then
now its either routing is bad or something
thats how you usually debug that kind of things
test and rule out possibilities

yeppp
at least we've narrowed it down
thank you!
its something wack with my hosting service i guess

@worn driftgosh do you even know what you are doing

ok saya in case you want an update, my bot is able to connect fine right now
let see if it silently dies soon
abstract crow
Would anyone happen to know why in ASP.NET when I edit a model it then gets deleted? My teacher was saying something about it how data gets deleted in the POST edit method but I wasn't sure on how to fix that
abstract crow

Seems like an issue with the website tbh 
the post request should edit it not delete it

Anyone can help ?
slate kestrel
It seems I'm a bit out of the loop here -
A year or two ago I was building a bot using the C# and the Discord.Net library, but had to put it on the shelf. I decided to take a look at resuming the project, but (no surprises), nothing works anymore.
The odd thing is when I go to Discord and view "my bots" the list is empty. And my code won't compile at all after updating the Discord.Net library (channel, user, and all sorts of things are no longer defined)
Was there a major overhaul to the API that removed existing bots and broke all compatibility?
earnest phoenix
nope and nope
discord.net did have a few breaking updates which means you'll have to migrate the code to a newer version
https://docs.stillu.cc/ for up-to-date docs
slate kestrel
Thanks. I'll keep looking around and see if I can access my bot again. It still appears on my server, but not in any of my "your bots" lists. I'll keep poking around.
earnest phoenix
make sure you're not using the wrong account on the dev apps page
slate kestrel
Yeah, maybe. I can't think of any reason I would create another account though.
Ah, found it (under 'applications'). Thanks again.
golden condor
I am tryna set my bot's status to do not disturb or idle but I'm not sure how, can I have some help please
earnest phoenix
in which lib
earnest phoenix
@golden condor js or py
golden condor
js
amber fractal
djs or eris?
amber fractal
Is it deprecated?
Docs dont say it is
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/5gjs3d_2695.png even on master it's there

My bot is now 24/7 and public, polishing off the support server then I'll apply to have it here
modest maple
ngl i applied and then actually did the commands xD
golden condor
@amber fractal how do you make the links like that?
How
is it sharex?
Pls explain
I have wondered how
slender thistle
A webserver running on a machine
whenever a link is posted, a request is sent to the URL and the webserver returns an image
eternal adder
@modest maple honestly I'm tempted to, given the wait aswell

@golden condor I own the domain. I have sharex send a post request as multipart/form-data and the handler I made sends it to a folder on my machine that oliy.is-just-a.dev uses
earnest phoenix
the message has typos ^^^

just pointing it out, when you notice a small detail like that it drives you mad >.>
grizzled raven
DMChannel is undefined
well for me i dont care anymore about your and youre xd
but what was "Telling someone "google it" is run and unhelpful." supposed to mean
is rude?
grizzled raven
the channel doesnt exist yet you need to create it first
await message.author.createDM()
uneven wyvern
@grizzled raven doesnt the dmchannel already exists?
fleet chasm
no, its like if i started one with you, there'd be no messages or anything cause i just started it with you
modest maple
Why would you need that
fleet chasm
if there was already one dm channel, discord would probably be dead
modest maple
If you're just planning to send a message
It should create one upon the DM message being sent
fleet chasm
i think they are also trying to collect from the dm channel
modest maple
It's handled by the same event
On_message
Only difference is between a guild message and a DM message is guild object is None

Hey, I'm pretty new to JS.
While trying to run this code I received this error:
import * as mySE from '../mySE/meSE.js';
And I don't get it. 😦
uneven wyvern
@worn drift sry told ya wrong bot.on("message", async function(message) {
mossy vine
@ruby talon node doesnt support that, at least not the version glitch is on afaik
uneven wyvern
@ruby talon glitch don't supports import
mossy vine
oh god what the fuck have you done

that

You can enable importing modules like that, but using require is >
worn drift
me?

ruby talon
I'm running on local.
What should I install to be able to run the import thingie?
late hill
You don't pass the class to it
ruby talon
Ah
late hill
You pass an instance of that class
ruby talon
Ok, I'll try Kino.
late hill
That entire code
late hill
Doesn't require using those classes like that
You should be able to just create a message collector from a message instance
And yes
You can't just change it to lowercase and have it working
oh wait
You've actually created a DMChannel variable
late hill
Just like
Don't
get the dm channel from the user
and then use createMessageCollector on it
worn drift
How can i do this?
late hill
You can get that from the user
(message author)
But I think it might not be there if the bot and that user have never had any dms
So you might have to use createDM() instead
and await that
After that you can use this https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/DMChannel?scrollTo=createMessageCollector
late hill
You also create 2 embeds that are the exact same other than their description, so I suggest creating 1 embed, sending that, override the description, send the same embed again
No
you don't CreateDM() out of nowhere
You call createDM() on the user object
which you can get from message.author
worn drift
Can you tell me the line?
late hill
It returns a promise that'll resolve to the DMChannel, so you'll have to await it and save that in a variable
There's no specific line
I'm giving you all the information you need
You just have to apply it

@earnest phoenix Don't be an asshole
earnest phoenix
i still use if else command handling
its sure alot easier when you only have 3 commands 
modest maple
it doesnt make a load of diffrence tbh
modest maple
like command handlers are better if you have hundreds of commands cuz it just save a lil time
earnest phoenix
or 100s
mossy vine
tbh if return > if else
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix Don't be an asshole
that wasn't being an asshole, i provided a link to a tip that tells them to learn the language in a more friendly way
instead of having to repeat the same thing over and over again
green kestrel
@earnest phoenix use what works, if your code for something feels ugly or too long, put a comment next to it saying ```cpp
/* XXX FIXME */
then when you know more, come back and enhance and refactor it
green kestrel
i have some ugly if/then/else command handlers in my bot too. i know better, and should use a hash of std::bind or something, but meh. i only have like 10 commands, and will probably never add more.
basically if its ugly and it works, thats what is important because you can always refactor later, right? 👍
earnest phoenix
Most of the bots ive written are use -case so i dont use my command handler much
this is the only bot that has not been public
i have a pretty nice command handler i do use for one though
green kestrel
the lib im using isnt centred around commands and has no command handler system built into it, string parsing has been done so many ways and so many times in C++ you can just lift something else in and use it
i tend to use stringstream
earnest phoenix
i was thinking of using a switch aswell
but not much of a point
im not going to dread over it though
the bot im trying to get approved has 3 commands
and when im done with it it will probably have like 7
Still moving the old database over though
green kestrel
what does your bot do?
earnest phoenix
The one im trying to get approved or the one with the command handler?
green kestrel
either/both? im just nosy/curious about other peoples developments
earnest phoenix
The one with a command handler controls and deploys game servers for a specific game
Aswell as handles bans and firewall rules for the server its on and a few remote servers
You can think of it as a SQL interface with a loop
thats about it
earnest phoenix
so
i write my own iptables file within the bot
then have a cron job to reload that file every x minutes
green kestrel
ah, ok
earnest phoenix
pretty straight forward
green kestrel
thats why it says 'this wont last long'
earnest phoenix
it says that as a joke
like he wont be whitelisted for long
the network rules are persistent
green kestrel
i do a lot of stuff through crontab too, like updating bot lists server and user counts thru their apis, i put my counters to a mysql table and a cron job posts it to all the lists at once every 10 mins
modest maple
So i did some tests....
many many attempts later
and we're still defeated by BytesIO
loud salmon
modest maple
they still havent given you cert yet spider?
earnest phoenix
the second bot the one i want to get approved is just a tarkov helper
for the game tarkov
green kestrel
i heard that the person who approves cert is away till late feb/early mar
green kestrel
i sent them my letter early december as soon as i broke 150 servers or whatever the minimum was
by now im close to 900 lol
i might break the big 1k before they look at it
earnest phoenix
I also have a voice receiving based bot, but it has approval issues
the whole recording everything ppl say
modest maple
ngl sporks is one of the best new bots ive seen in a while
in terms of how its made and the concept itself
earnest phoenix
What is it?
green kestrel
it has two basic functions celty, to learn transparently from chat, and be able to respond to simple questions, and to allow server owners to script it in javascript
without me having to worry that they'll obtain the bot's token or other nonesense
earnest phoenix
ooo
