#

first i create a channel called logs then i used that code i mentioned earlier in order to get its ID

sudden geyser Feb 8, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

What version of Discord.js and Node.js are you on?

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

the latest version of Node and 11.5.1 of discord.js

#

node version is 12.13.1

#

oh my bad, that is not the latest

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

do you create the channel in your code as well? do you await the channel creation?

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

yes.... i mean the code to get the ID is after the channel creation code

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

but do you await it?

#

channel creation involves sending a rest request, which takes time to return a response

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

no.....

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

then thats your problem, its basically trying to find it before its finished creating

#

show your channel creation code

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

message.guild.createChannel('logs', {
            type: 'text',
            permissionOverwrites: [{
              id: message.guild.id,
              deny: ['VIEW_CHANNEL'],
            }]
        })
        .catch(console.error);

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

// option 1
let created = await message.guild.createChannel(...)
let logsChannel = created;

// option 2
message.guild.createChannel(...).then(created => {
  let logsChannel = created;
}).catch()

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

cant i just let logsChannel = await message.guild........?

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

yes you can

prime cliff Feb 8, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

Fun fact this also means that the bot won't be able to see the newly created channel 😔 unless it has admin

📎 unknown.png

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

bots can see all channels

#

afaik

#

they just wont receive messages from them

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

acutally this is my first time ever coding outside of an IDE, so i didnt really know the concept of waiting for the request to be completed

prime cliff Feb 8, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

Yea that's the thing

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

my bot has admin, so it should be able to see

prime cliff Feb 8, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

You should never give bots admin anyway

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

look into Promises in javascript, thats basically how async code works

blissful scaffold Feb 8, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

Dont ask for admin rights if it is a public bot

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

its not public yet, i gave it admin just for testing

#

it worked!

#

thank you Tim

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

hey im really new at bot api

#

and im trying to make a bot that adds m to every sentence

#

const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('message', msg => {

msg.content = msg.conted += "m";

});

#

I tried that code but it doesnt seem to work

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

well msg.content = msg.conted += "m"; should be msg.content = msg.content + "m";

#

and what are you gonna do with the new message? log it? send it?

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

im trying to edit the new message

#

and thanks for catching my slip up

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

all good

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

and when i change to i have to go back into my cmd and load the code again?

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

yup

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

ok

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

but that code wont actually do anything, you cant edit other peoples messages either im pretty sure

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

oh

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

you could delete their message then send the new one with your bot

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

ok

#

do you know how its done?

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

well below the line that i changed you would do msg.channel.send(msg.content)

#

but that will trigger for every message

#

even the ones that the bot it self sends

#

and to delete a message you do msg.delete()

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

ok thanks

#

is there a way to mark the messages the bots send to make it so the bot doesnt resend its own messages

#

when do i put msg.delete()

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

you can check if the author of the message is equal to the author id of the message

#

anywhere really

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

and how do i check for author id?

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

message.author.id

#

msg.author.id***

#

(for you)

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

do i use the 3 stars?

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

nah i corrected myself

#

msg.author.id

#

that gives the id of the message author

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

where do I put that?

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

also thats gonna run on every single message

#

uh make an if statement at the start

#

you should probably go watch a discord bot tutorial

#

thatll help you alot

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

so if msg.author.id = my bot's msg.author.id

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

yea pretty much

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

or if msg.author.it != my bot's msg.author.id?

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

yea i meant that my bad

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

ok thanks

#

what do i replace with my bots

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

right click your bot and copy id

#

then paste it into your code

#

if(msg.author.id !== 'your-bots-id')

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

ok thanks

#

and i use {} brackets around it?

#

i made the bot

#

and re ran the cmd this

#

and tried to do

#

node bot.js

#

but it didnt work and m bot is still offline

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

what is the file called that all your code is in

#

index.js?

#

and yes use the {}

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

Oh that must be it

#

The ks

#

Thanks

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

My code looks like this

#

and my terminal keeps saying invalid or unexpected token

#

i dont know what im doing wrong

#

please help

#

my code looks like this now

#

const client=new Discord.client();

if(msg.author.id !== 675506964876230657){
client.on(message,msg =>{

msg.content = msg.content += m;
msg.channel.send(msg.content);
msg.delete();
}
);}

#

this is the only thing i wrote in my code

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

Ay every1 how do I ban every word in the world in a discord bot except for 1. Then give roles to people who say that word a certain number of times

#

I have a reference bot on another server

#

It's not mine

sudden geyser Feb 8, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

Check if the message does not contain that one word you want to exclude, then save a collection or object counting how many times the user has said whatever.

slender thistle Feb 8, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

if word in lowered message content

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

But I want it so they can ONLY say that word

#

Do u mind if I dm u what I'm talking about so u get a better understanding

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

you could replace the message with that word

#

have your bot delete the message and just send that word

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

No @high wind lemme dm u a sec

high wind Feb 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

ok

digital ibex Feb 8, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

how would i get the platform of a user?

amber fractal Feb 8, 2020, 3:51 AM

I dont think you can for sure

copper cradle Feb 8, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

@high wind that code

when I try to start my bot it says ReferenceError: guildMemberAdd is not defined
at Object.<anonymous>
I dont know what's the problem
:/

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

can you show some code where you are doing the guildMemberAdd thing

copper cradle Feb 8, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

@high wind ofc

#

There are 2 things wrong in your code

#

First

#

There'a a semicolon that looks like this

#

);}

#

Remove that semicolon

#

Also

#

You can't do this

#

const client=new Discord.client();
if(msg.author.id !== 675506964876230657){
client.on(message,msg =>{

You're using the msg variable before even defining it, and the variable is inside the arrow function you're using to get the message object which means you can only use it inside of that scope

#

Ph and

#

IDs are strings

#

So wrap that id inside a string

@earnest phoenix there's a queue, it can take up to 2 weeks for your bot to get approved

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

2week

#

Ahh

#

Ok i will be patient

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

what a braindead chat

copper cradle Feb 8, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

Ikr

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

2week so a long time

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

@marble juniper ikr, guess they are 11 y/o or something

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

maybe not in age but in brain age yes

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

@earnest phoenix I would suggest you take change the Prefix from . to something like si!

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

maybe the first two letters of your bot and then !

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

year or make it spaced

#

mention is still the best prefix

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Hmm

#

Why ?

#

Why i must change prefix ?

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

because every other bot uses . and it will cause problems

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

Wht problem ?

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

because then if 2 bots have the same prefix for example both will react to commands

#

and maybe the person wants to use only 1 bot

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

Ow

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

and not both at the same time

#

you get what I mean

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

Yep

#

But i think bot with .prefix is less

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

this is why you need a prefix which is not common

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

Else your bot gets muted

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

and no there are thousands of bots who use .

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

Ow :v

#

Hmm

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

the best option would be using the bot mention as your prefix

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

Already used

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

or the first 2 letters of your bot followed by an + or . or whatever character

#

like sa! or sa+

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

Hm ok

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

or just sa with a space

#

so sa help

So hard coding

No

#

It's easy

#

Are u Js?

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:08 AM

My bots prefix is customizable for each server so I have no problem with the prefix thing

use a prefix which is not .

#

or !

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

✓ prefix

#

So hard

#

xD

#

Because hard to find word

bitter sundial Feb 8, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

nobody's stopping you from using a common prefix if you want, we just have to block its read access in this server because there's too many bots with those prefixes

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

Oww

I will change prefix

bitter sundial Feb 8, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

if you went and wrote !help in a testing channel like thousand bots would respond

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

Yep lol

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

and this server would crash

#

NL1Smug

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

Im sorry

bitter sundial Feb 8, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

yeah it started causing outages too

#

you dont have to be sorry

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

now you know

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

Hmm did you have idea for new prefix @link.

bitter sundial Feb 8, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

its just a thing in this server

#

if you dont care about #commands here the prefix doesnt matter

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

unless you want to test your bot in this server

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

Ok ill change prefix

#

xD

#

If $ prefix ?

#

Like $help

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

thats very common as well

#

try something with 2 characters

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

3 would be even better

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

you could also make a customizable prefix per server

#

but that needs a database

bitter sundial Feb 8, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

mention prefixes are the best bet

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

^true

copper cradle Feb 8, 2020, 8:26 AM

can anyone tell me why my guild ids last 3-4 digit change
its showing correct id at out of script aria and
its changing ids last 3-4 digit inside <script>

#

You from asia ?

#

Yes

#

Why you talking here

#

Its not #general

#

Plz remove your all message

#

ill ask $. Prefix is good or not ?

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

no

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

$. ?

#

Just delete your all messaage

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

@twin pendant I don't think dbm has a db

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

@earnest phoenix use strings to store snowflakes in js, js supports numbers up to 53 bits but snowflakes are 64 bits

#

Let me check @earnest phoenix

twin pendant Feb 8, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

@uneven wyvern oh yeah true

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

$. Prefix is good :v

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

well

#

If u think so

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

Ok ill change

#

@earnest phoenix same problem bro

📎 unknown.png

#

...

#

you're still not storing them as strings

#

Like how?

#

...

#

you know your code, go wherever you store ids in tbe the database and use strings instead

#

oh wait

#

is this a db

#

in the first place

uneven wyvern Feb 8, 2020, 8:39 AM

#

also why are there "" in toString()

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

@earnest phoenix got it thanks anyway.

#

I still use prefix . And idc if bot will invite here

#

just pls in website

#

hi

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 9:39 AM

#

is eris faster than djs?

delicate zephyr Feb 8, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

Both are different libs written in different ways

#

ones caching is better than the other but it generally comes down to preference at the end of the day

#

use whatever lib you see fit

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

i thunk eris is faster

#

im going for the speed

#

my bot is a newgrounds crawler

#

i almost disabled all caching in djs

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

if you want pure speed (speed is the wrong term here, because performance will be limited by network more than anything, so im assuming you mean resource usage and efficiency), you will need to modify the library (either of them)

#

because both of them are primarily centered around avoiding hitting the API as much as possible

#

which means tons of caching and processing all packets in one way or another

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

@lusty quest uninstall node and re install your version :)

lusty quest Feb 8, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

was step 1

#

didnt work

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

Lol

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

gzip or deflate?

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

@lusty quest did you run npm rebuild?

#

or delete node_modules and run npm install

#

@glacial anchor brotli > gzip > deflate

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

ok im gonna rephase it - which method compresses best? gzip or deflate?

#

@quartz kindle brotli is br, right?

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

yes

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

can i include it as a node-fetch header?

#

i currently have deflate

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

you can include it yes, if the server supports it

#

the server should send an accept-encoding header

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

i tried but the fetch speed was worse than gzip or deflate, so methinks its not supported

#

i send requests to https://api.newgrounds.app

#

might ask newage to add brotli support

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

make a request and log their response headers

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

(async () => { const i = require ("node-fetch"); await i ("https://api.newgrounds.app/").headers})```?

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:05 AM

#

i dont use node-fetch so idk the correct syntax for it, but should be soething like that yes

lusty quest Feb 8, 2020, 11:05 AM

#

@quartz kindle done both with the same result

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:17 AM

#

how do i modify discordjs and use in my project? do i clone the git repo into one folder in my bot project and just recall it locally? if i delete some files and pieces of code, will it break?

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

I has issues. So I'm using the following code where userID is being passed message.author.id

    let registered = false;
    var contents = fs.readFileSync('users/' + userID + '.json').catch(err);
    if (!contents) { registered = false; }else{ registered = true; }
    return registered;
}```
When the file exists it works no problem.
When it doesn't, I get an error that it can't throw an error.

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

tf, why are you using json for database

#

especially when each file is an element of it

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

because I have issues using database

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

@glacial anchor what i do is build on top of it, by extending some classes and intercepting packets with the raw event

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

im afraid that im gonna break something without the ability to recover

#

@inner slate your directory seems to be wrong

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

most likely, i did break many things during my experiments

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

How is my directory wrong?

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

i can share what i learned so you dont break it

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

let contents = fs.readFileSync(`./users/${userID}.json`);```

marble juniper Feb 8, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

try ./users

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

k

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

@quartz kindle nah i dont think im gonna do such huge step

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

@inner slate you cant catch fs.readFileSync like that, since its not a promise

#

you need to use a try catch block

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

yeah

#

try {
  let contents = fs.readFileSync(`./users/${userID}.json`);
} catch {
  // code
}```

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

let user;
try {
  user = fs.readFileSync(...)
} catch(e) {
  // failed to load user
}```

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

ok

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:23 AM

#

also use es6 syntax

#

its just easier on the eyes

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

thanks guys

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

const checkRegistered = (userID) => {
  let user = "";
  try {
    user = fs.readFileSync(`./users/${userID}.json`);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
  return user ? true : false;
}```
idk if its gonna work

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

goddamned lifesavers

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

np, have fun coding

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

contents is undefined xD

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

took whatcha said and actually simplified it, seeing as I don't need to know the contents in that context

function checkRegistered(userID){
    try {
        fs.readFileSync('./users/' + userID + '.json');
    } catch(e){
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}```
produced expected results both times

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

and try to use streams whenever possible

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

no need to bother with streams if the files are like 1kb

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

@inner slate return is 0 as default

#

so instead of return false you can do return ig

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

yeah, they're small, biggest ones are the user files

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

return is undefined

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

and they're max 2kb

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

but its better to explicitly use true/false for the sake of consistency

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

make a database ffs

#

simple enmap db is a good way to start

#

not too hard

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

I hate databases, not to mention none of the free options are up to snuff

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

enmap is a package

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

hmm?

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

it makes an object once you initialize it

#

it can be accessed globally, and you can push data to it

#

its kinda fast if your db is small

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

and it's permanent?

dusky marsh Feb 8, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

sqlite ftw

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

yeah

#

@dusky marsh we all have to start somewhere /shrug

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

I'll look into it, but I already have a crap ton of functions and such

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 11:30 AM

hi, i have a db with 100 values, i tried to use a while and make a list, but the bot "lag"

dusky marsh Feb 8, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

I had a friend who started out with enmap and now he is like, dependent on it

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

well, my bot is on 2200 servers and still running on json

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

much the way I'm already dependent on file databases ;P

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

bruh what

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

but im rewriting it to sqlite as we speak

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

fr?

#

json is slow and the worst solution for database

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

I mean, I run my bot locally on my laptop

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

just that my bot so so complex i've been rewriting it for over a month and still nowhere near ready

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

btw quick side question how do you make something like enums in c++?

late hill Feb 8, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

show us what you did @earnest phoenix

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

and json is not slow, nor a problem, if you use it efficiently

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

efficiently... >.>

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

const enum = Object.freeze({ key: "value"});
enum.key; // value```

#

?

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

are enums like a kind of validation-enforced array/object? which only accepts predefined values?

meager mulch Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

Hello

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

yeah

meager mulch Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

Why we cant use !thelp

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

i think so

meager mulch Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

On BetterAntiSpam

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

then you need to use a Proxy

meager mulch Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

It’s bug

grizzled raven Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

using a ternary operator for x ? true : false could just be replaced with !!x

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

its like

#

if you have a string repeating a lot in code

#

you put it in an enum

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

@meager mulch this is not the suport server for any bot, this is the official server for the top.gg website

grizzled raven Feb 8, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

but then again i

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

saves space, sort of

late hill Feb 8, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

enums are a list of constants basically

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

this is what i got from google Enums are used only when we expect the variable to have one of the possible set of values, for example, we have a dir variable that holds the direction. Since we have four directions, this variable can take any one of the four values, if we try to assign a another random value to this variable, it will throw a compilation error. This increases compile-time checking and avoid errors that occurs by passing in invalid constants.

#

this behavior is only achievable in js by using the Proxy class

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

proxy class?

#

tell me more

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy

MDN Web Docs

Proxy

The Proxy object is used to define custom behavior for fundamental operations (e.g. property lookup, assignment, enumeration, function invocation, etc).

#

a Proxy is essentially a middleware for ANYTHING in js

#

you can use it for validation for example

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

is identity compression fast and should i use it?

#

i mean over gzip or deflate

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

identity is no compression

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

ok then

#

should i use compress over these two i mentioned

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

it only exists if for some reason someone wants to forbid uncompressed access

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

@quartz kindle

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

you should use br when possible, then gzip, then deflate

#

in most cases

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

wait can i put these three as a header

#

and will it make it any faster

#

or it will take more time to compress than get data itself

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

im not sure about compress, you can google it

#

📎 unknown.png

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

yeah ive seen it on mdn

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

put the three in the header, and the server will send you what they prefer

#

if you send br,gzip,deflate the server will send br if they suport it and prefer it, else they will send whatever best match they have set up

#

br should be the best option at the moment, but if you feel like its slower, it could be their server is not good at encoding br, or node is not good at decoding it

#

if you feel gzip is faster, then use gzip

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

ive seen its headers and it sends chunked data

#

in tunnel encoding

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

gzip will be about 10% bigger in size, other than that its no biggie

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:45 AM

#

well gzip is at least something

#

no compression is slow af

#

god praise whoever invented gzip

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

is the data you're receiving very large?

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

maybe a few hundred bytes

#

but somehow it takes at least 5 seconds to get data

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

5 seconds? wtf

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

my bot's ping averages on 200ms, which is far less than 5 seconds

#

see for yourself in #commands

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

my API can send several MB in less than 1 second

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

okay, so question, would these two work the same:
Old: javascript if (command == "register" || command == "reg"){ fs.readFile('users/' + message.author.id + '.json', (err, data) => { if (err){ let userdata = newUser(message); let newdata = JSON.stringify(userdata, null, 4); fs.writeFileSync('users/' + message.author.id + '.json', newdata); botlog.send(message.author + " has just registered!"); }else{ message.reply("you're already registered!"); } }); }
New:javascript if (command == "register" || command == "reg"){ try { fs.readFileSync('./users/' + message.author.id + '.json'); } catch(e){ message.reply("you're already registered!"); return; } let userdata = newUser(message); let newdata = JSON.stringify(userdata, null, 4); fs.writeFileSync('users/' + message.author.id + '.json', newdata); botlog.send(message.author + " has just registered!"); }

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

probably, but sync ops are blocking

#

so i doubt you wanna do that at any point but initialization

#

not when running a command

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

1-2kb files don't take long to run through

#

how many commands do you have

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 11:53 AM

#

and split all those ugly if's into files

move all these functions into their own folder like i did

and i just call those in each command file

if thats too much for you then dont make a bot

#

and heroku does allow hosting for everything

using free hosts however, isn't because again, very limited resources and uptime

all those are libs/packages which you can install and use from the console

that is a tad slow

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:00 PM

heroku and glitch are both

but better than what i had to work with at the time

back when i started my bot i selfhosted and my internet was ass slow cause it was always under stress, i borrowed a 4G module from a friend for an rpi and just used mobile data instead

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

b1tt, I'll humor you on the command handler bit, how exactly would I start that?

#

I'm near Baltimore, MD so... I'm close

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

there are many different ways of setting up a command handler

#

you can be very creative with them

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

the simplest one is using commando

#

but if you dont want to clutter your code

#

you can write your own

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

yeah... already cluttered enough, lol

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

mine fits in like 6-7 lines of code

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

I'd rather code my own

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

if you want

#

a very minimalistic one

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

right now you have to move all your commands into some folder

#

bruh

#

better than being a toxic bitch about it

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:06 PM

am I going to have to pass the message variable to them?

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

akashrug

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

a dead simple example of a command handler would be to ```js
const commands = {
command: require(commandfile),
command2: require(commandFile2)
}

client.on("message", msg => {
if(msg.content.startsWith(prefix)) {
let command = commands[msg.content.slice(prefix.length)]
if(command) {
// call command
}
}
})```

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

@inner slate yeah how would you otherwise interact with the message

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

just making sure

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

["commands", "aliases"].forEach(x => <Client>[x] = new Collection());
const load = async (dir = "DIRECTORY") => {
		const commands = await readdirSync(dir).filter(files => files.endsWith(".js"));
    for (const file of commands) {
		  let pull = await require (`${dir}${file}`);
			if (pull.help) {
				await bot.commands.set(pull.help.name, pull);
        pull.help.aliases.forEach(async alias => {
					await bot.aliases.set(alias, pull.help.name);
				});
        console.log(`Loaded "${pull.help.name}"!`);
			}
		}
};```

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

so I'd run commands like I'd run functions

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

no

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

just making sure I'm understanding

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

yes

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

ok

#

o.o

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

lmao

#

the difference in coding styles is so amusing

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

lmao

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:10 PM

#

so you just check what the command inputted by user is, then check for that command in <Client>.aliases and then run that command

#

do module.exports for that

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:11 PM

#

okay, hold up so you guys can get my start bit here:

client.on("message", message => {
  const chnManage = message.guild.me.hasPermission("MANAGE_CHANNELS");
  const msgManage = message.guild.me.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES");
  if (message.author.bot) return;

  if (!message.content.startsWith(config.prefix)) return;

  const withoutPrefix = message.content.slice(config.prefix.length);
  const split = withoutPrefix.split(/ +/);
  const temp = split[0];
  const command = temp.toLowerCase();
  const args = split.slice(1);```

#

ignore the toLowerCase bit, I was having issues doing it directly

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:12 PM

#

yes

#

good enough but needs optimization

#

client.on("message", message => {
  const chnManage = message.guild.me.hasPermission("MANAGE_CHANNELS");
  const msgManage = message.guild.me.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES");
  
  if (!message.content.startsWith(config.prefix)) return;
  if (message.author.bot) return;

  const withoutPrefix = message.content.slice(config.prefix.length).split(/ +/g);
  const command = withoutPrefix[0].toLowerCase();
  const args = withoutPrefix.slice(1);```

#

stop that variable fetish

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

an even easier way would be js client.on("message", msg => { if(msg.content.startsWith(prefix)) { let cmd = msg.content.slice(prefix.length).split(" ")[0]; try { let command = require("directory/"+cmd); command(msg); } catch(e) {} } })

#

xD

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:14 PM

@quartz kindle gross

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

hahaha

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

why not if (!msg.content.startsWith...)

#

so you can get rid of these brackets

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:15 PM

#

sure why not

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

b1tt... where are you getting split? you removed it from the code example everywhere but the args bit

#

const args = split.slice(1);

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

its there (well now it is)

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

fixed

late hill Feb 8, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

put the checks that lead to a return all the way on top

no point in declaring those variables if you'll return anyway

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:19 PM

#

@inner slate wdym

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

I replaced just the command portion with yours and when I did SD!ping, it ran a completely different command

#

one that started with p

#

but wasn't ping

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

lmao

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

do you have the whole discord.js required?

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

replaced

  const temp = split[0];
  const command = temp.toLowerCase();```
with
`const command = withoutPrefix[0].toLowerCase();`

#

yes

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

BRUH

#

thats inefficient af

#

instead of importing it all you can import needed functions or classes

inner slate Feb 8, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

at least I get the right command

#

ohhhh

#

that seems well above my paygrade, I don't understand discord.js, I'm not gonna rip out pieces at a time

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

for example, if you only need collection, you can change js const Discord = require ("discord.js"); const Collection = Discord.Collection;
with js const { Collection } = require ("discord.js");

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

that doesnt really matter much lol

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

it does

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

it will improve startup time by a few nano seconds and reduce memory usage by a few kb

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

imagine that - you require some 10mb lib while you only need one function from it

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

djs is not 10mb lol

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

i said that as an example

#

it can be 100mb, 200mb

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

lol

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:26 PM

#

yeah but it doesnt matter much in djs's case, nor with most libs

#

99% of libs are smart enough not to preload all files anyway

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:26 PM

#

imo it does

#

and it just results in less code

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:26 PM

~~microoptimization doesn't matter in a poor performance language anyways~~

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:26 PM

#

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:26 PM

#

js is not poor performance

#

people write bad code that works like bullcrap

#

nodejs uses v8 engine, which speed is something similar to c++

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

anyways, microoptimization is not a dealbreaker for a small discord bot

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

as i said it just results in less and cleaner code

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

if you need that kind of microoptimization, you should not even be using discord.js in the first place

#

speaking of microoptimization, move your author.bot return to the top, and the prefix checking to right after

#

lul

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:28 PM

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

disabling typing_start

if you geniunely think it wont do anything

try with and without it

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 PM

that doesn't do anything

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

it doesnt disable typing packets from being received, which is 99% of the problem

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

the event still gets parsed

#

which takes the most cpu

#

emitting it is minimal work in js

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

how? you have to enable partials to still get it parsed??

#

no?

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

to get the type of the event

#

you have to

#

json.parse it

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:31 PM

#

no, they are always sent, unless you disable guild subscriptions in the discord identify

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:31 PM

inflate it

intents solve this

btw

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:31 PM

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:31 PM

processing events is not about speed, its about cpu usage

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 12:31 PM

intents will require most libs to switch to stateless design

glacial anchor Feb 8, 2020, 12:32 PM

it was around 60-70mb cpu usage

now its just 40mb

tight heath Feb 8, 2020, 12:32 PM

what are intents

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

when you connect to discord and open the websocket connection, you can specify an intents field

which tells discord what type of events do you want to receive

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.

i think node.js just supports ubuntu, not lubuntu ( i know its lightweight ubuntu)

no it's still ubuntu but it's using the LXQt DE, yes it's a very lightweight de but lubuntu is lxqt ubuntu

#

anyway you can just do these

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_13.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs```

#

that's for nodejs 13, if you want to install the 12 (lts) version do these:

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs```

you could also use nvm

I try it for role ex: guild.roles.find(a => a.name == "@everyone")

@earnest phoenix U forgot type tho

quartz kindle Feb 8, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

the default role is the same id as guild id

#

guild.roles.find(a => a.id === guild.id)

#

or simply guild.roles.get(guild.id)

zenith orchid Feb 8, 2020, 5:31 PM

I will try.

How would i make my bot detect when someone joins a different server?
So when someone joins it sends a message to my server saying

When you're doing an expression

Don't use ==

I'm not gonna explain why

there should be a guild member add event

listen to that, and deal with the member object you get

Ok fine

minor kelp Feb 8, 2020, 6:46 PM

ya, on_member_join but that only counts to my server

it shouldnt

or maybe it should

i dont do python

read the docs

earnest phoenix Feb 8, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

can someone help me with python?

copper cradle Feb 8, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

The difference between == and === is that:== converts the variable values to the same type before performing comparison. This is called type coercion. === does not do any type conversion (coercion) and returns true only if both values and types are identical for the two variables being compared.

Standard streams

In computer programming, standard streams are preconnected input and output communication channels between a computer program and its environment when it begins execution. The three input/output (I/O) connections are called standard input (stdin), standard output (stdout) and...

didnt work, but now im good at js

why would you

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

cuz

#

easier approch

#

dashboard would be easier

mossy vine Feb 8, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

yes and publish your bot token and entire source code

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

oof

#

well ill find a way to secure that

mossy vine Feb 8, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

you wont

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

well i can

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

lmao, anyways why cant you just use node express to render the website?

#

i made dashboard with custom commands like this

#

pretty seamless and painless exchange of data between bot and website

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

yo

#

do u have dashboard in same proj?

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

they run on the same process

#

yes

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

how would u shard then?

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

well i dont

#

small private bot

#

that would be an issue in here i guess?

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

i dont want a private bot

#

yea big issue with ports

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

well i never imagined sharding would break this in anyway

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

u ill get error saying

#

port 3000 is already in use

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:45 PM

the bot file could be imported as module tho? no?

Is there a way to find/fetch a webhook by name in a guild for Discord.js?

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

well never did it but, just in the index.js (express app) make a require('./bot.js') which would be the bot

#

bot.js does whatever the fk it wants, shards or not

#

but can access parent module anytime, which would be the express app

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

ah so you would parent the express app>

#

?

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

like i said i never did it before, never even had a bot that required sharding

#

but just like my commands are modules i require in main bot file, i would make the bot file be required in the express file

#

let expressApp = module.parent.exports```
in the bot.js file

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

i get what u are trying to say

#

i never tried that

#

i tried importing web app to my bot and that used to crash it

@wicked badger https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=fetchWebhooks

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.

Thank you

but is there any way i can hide token

#

in web build

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

...host your token on the web and make it so only the whitelisted IP can see it (the IP of your webbuild), and request token from webbuild to the place where you have your token lmao

#

idk if it even works like that

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

ohh just hasing it

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

im imagining you can make an API call from webbuild to anywhere

#

right

#

maybe?

#

dunno

#

but anyways

#

make a place in your web somewhere with token.txt

#

and just make the permissions so its visible only to localhost

#

127.0.0.1

#

IDK if it works, ive barely touched html

mossy vine Feb 8, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

you will not be able to hide your token in web build

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

no awy?

#

way*

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

or trust that guy since he probably knows what hes doing

fiery stream Feb 8, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

i can do something

potent ivy Feb 8, 2020, 8:54 PM

how does web build work again? can you run it like on your local machine?
