@lavish seal if(!message.content.startsWith('prefixHere')) return

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

but it's not bad for the reasons builderb said because they're entirely false, it's bad because it's messing up the references to the embed

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

oki thank you

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

welp

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

Make sure you put that in a message event client.on("message"

prime cliff Feb 23, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

Trying to call embed.build() at the start like the red line will lead to an empty embed

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

thats exactly what i told him

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

yea i changed thawt

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

changed it to what?

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

i removed the upper builder.build

#

thats all honestly

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

so you're sending 3 messages?

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

no?

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

no?

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

1 in server and 1 in dms

prime cliff Feb 23, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

The first one gets deleted after a delay

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

its still 3 messages

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

then i am sending 3 messages

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

Yeah if he wants one in channel one in DMs shouldn't the ReplyAsync on the last one be irrelevant

#

Seems like he's purposely sending it 3 times.

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

@hoary elm this fixed the dms embed

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

Ahh

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

im assuming i did this wrong?

📎 unknown.png

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

Yes

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

But i cant seem to get the code that @earnest phoenix sent to work

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

if(!message.content.startsWith('prefixHere')) return
});```

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

ohh i see

#

ah i have mine set to bot as well rather than client

#

jeez

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

that code wasn't meant to work

#

what i sent was just an example of placement

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

And if you are going to define the prefix above it then it would be if(!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return

#

And yeah if you use bot then client won't work

#

Change it to bot.on

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

hmm i keep getting an error when i do this, when i add the prefix without the '' around it all the code lost its colors, then i went down the the errors and removed the prefixes from other areas meant to be sent in a message and the code got its color back

📎 unknown.png

#

like this

📎 unknown.png

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

Oh yeah

#

No no that's not what I meant

#

See how you have
const PREFIX = "`";

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

yea?

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

That allows you to define the prefix as

#

PREFIX

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

ohhhhh

#

i was thinking of that but wasnt sure

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

Lol

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

cause i thought it had to be a variable

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

So instead of ` with no " just put PREFIX

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

the order of the code matters

📎 unknown.png

#

you cant use bot before creating it

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Also that ^^

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

oh

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Put it under where you call the client

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

lemme re order and do as chu guys said

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

also dont use .on("message") multiple times

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

Yeah that's my bad Tim he only showed me so much of the code so I didn't know he was calling that event already untill now

#

@lavish seal add the if(!message.content line to this message event and delete the other one is what he means

📎 IMG_20200223_150128.png

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

so remove the line in orange right?

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

No

#

Keep it

#

Remove the other one

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

oh

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Remove the one I made you make I didn't know you were already calling the message event

#

And then add the if(!message.content stuff I gave you to the one in orange

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

like this?

📎 unknown.png

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

dont just tell him what to add or remove, tell him to think about it logically and explain the reason

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Yeah like that

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

i see, i didnt even realize

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Also remove the ' around prefix @lavish seal

#

Should be like this

📎 IMG_20200223_150816.png

#

If you have it as 'PREFIX' then it's gonna think the word PREFIX is what you are trying to ignore.

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

i see

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

if(!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

had another error due to my own mistake of copying the }); down with the line but fixed and it seems to be working now

#

thanks guys

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

No problem 😁

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

now to attempt to make the bot more fun(?)

#

and break it 100 times in the process xD

#

this is kinda fun though ngl

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Haha it's part of the process

#

Learning to code is Fun indeed it's huge learning curve

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

broke it before i even added anything xD

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:16 PM

LMFAO

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

now my embeds arent working

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:17 PM

😬 what is the error?

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

theres no error xD, i do the command `Userinfo and nothing pops up

#

or `Help

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

are you still using multiple message events?

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

i think it looks alright tho?

📎 unknown.png

#

uh i might be

#

hang un

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

message.channel.send?

#

Unless sendEmbed is a new thing

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

it was working before like that

#

before making only the one prefix work

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Hmm I've honestly never seen that before 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ guess I'm just behind lol

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

i told you not to use multiple. they dont interfere with each other and make your bot work twice as hard: ```js
client.on("message", message => {
// code 1
})

client.on("message", message => {
// code 2
})

"code 1 cannot see or access code 2, and code 2 cannot see or access code 1. they are invisible to each other, and both will be executed at the same time"```

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

He deleted the multiple events..... I think?

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

from the code you posted before, you were trying to do the prefix logic in one event, and have the commands in another

#

post your full code

#

except the token

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

alright

#

📎 message.txt

#

shoot is there a better way to post it?

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:22 PM

remove those two message events at the bottom

#

also, whatever guide you're following is very outdated

#

sendMessage and sendEmbed are both deprecated

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

I thought so

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

you should use message.channel.send for everything

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

oh i see 6 month old youtube guides rn

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

Lol yeah probably outdated

#

What version of discord.js are you using?

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

so basically just delete the stuff after bot.login

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

And yes

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

and uh i think it was 11.40 hang un

#

lemme check

#

oof

#

11.5.1

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

thats fine

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

that was totally wrong xD

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

its the current stable version

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

Yeah I use 11.5.1

#

Do what tim suggested

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:26 PM

i should change it to Timo

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:27 PM

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:27 PM

😂😂

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:27 PM

in fact, people call me Timo irl

discord is the only place i started using Tim instead and idk why

What's the issue @earnest phoenix

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

talking in vc

#

i was woundering if mongodb had an atomic operator to pause the writing for a certain time

#

instead of having it in a timeout

#

since if the process crashes

#

it wont write

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/write-operations-atomicity/

#

Have you tried that? It's their guide for Atomicity and Transactions

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

what

#

you mean have i looked int he docs?

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Yeah

earnest phoenix Feb 23, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

ebcause atomicity just describes the operators

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

how come when i change one of the .addFields to .addTitle or .Title the embed stops sending?

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

@lavish seal show what you mean

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

same for descriptions and etc

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

you want to pause writing to the entire db? or you just want to delay a write?

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

well if i have it like this the message still sends

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

but if i change it to .addTitle

📎 unknown.png

#

it no longer sends

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Because it's not add

#

It's set

#

.setTitle

#

.setDescription

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

read the documentation

#

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/RichEmbed

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.

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

yea thats where i was looking, how did i miss that xD

#

i really must not have been paying attention

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

@quartz kindle in regards to the other guy yes from what I'm gathering he is trying to pause writing completely

#

I'm not that in depth with Mongo yet

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

well there is db.fsyncLock()

#

but i dont think thats what hes trying to do

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

He said he wanted to pause writing for a set time frame instead of using a timeout function

quartz kindle Feb 23, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

his code suggests hes trying to save the writing operation outside the process to ensure the writing gets done after a delay even if the process crashes

#

to which there is no build-in function, the only way would be to write a pending status to the db, and have the process resolve past pending statuses on the next read/write

Can I ask about coding problems here?

lavish seal Feb 23, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

so, i added a mute function and it seems to respond to it a bit like below but it doesnt seem to mute them when the command is used

📎 unknown.png

#

case 'mute':
      let person = message.guild.member(message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.members.get(args[1]))
      if(!person) return message.reply("Could not find mentions user");
      
      let mainrole = message.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "Readers");
      let muterole = message.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "Muted");
      
      if(!muterole) return message.reply("No mute role");
      
       let time = args[2];
      
      if(!time){
        return message.reply("You didnt Specify a time!");
      }
      person.removerolle(mainrole.id);
      person.addrole(muterole.id);
      
      message.channel.send(`@${person.user.tag} has now been muted for ${ms(ms(time))}`);
      
      setTimeout(function(){
        person.addrole(mainrole.id)
        person.removerole(muterole.id);
        message.channel.send(`@${person.user.tag} Has now been unmuted`)
      }, ms(time));

#

im confused why its not adding the mute role and removing readers like it should

hoary elm Feb 23, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Any errors?

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

You also have two open brackets on request(options, function(error, response, responseBody) {

So the end I'm pretty sure should be

);``` or
```});
});```

#

Or if that doesn't work then after responseBody put )) instead of one bracket to close the extra. Like this
request(options, function(error, response, responseBody)) {

visual sandal Feb 24, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

client.on(`messageReactionAdd`, reaction => {
    if (!reaction.guild.channels.find(channel => channel.name === "server-roles")) {
        return;
    } else {
        if (reaction.channel.name === `server-roles`) {
            if (reaction === `💙`) {
                reaction.author.addRole(`Male`);
            }
        }
    }
});

#

yes

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

Does the bot have access to it?

visual sandal Feb 24, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

the code i posted first is outdated

#

ye

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

What permissions exactly does it have for that channel

visual sandal Feb 24, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

It has admin

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

Okay so that shouldnt be the issue

hushed berry Feb 24, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

is reaction.guild a property even?

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

Good question actually

visual sandal Feb 24, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

should i console.log(reaction); ?

hushed berry Feb 24, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

sure

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

I think it is actually I think it's specifying a reaction in that guild.

visual sandal Feb 24, 2020, 1:37 AM

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

Cause I have a starboard that uses reaction.message and works fine that way

visual sandal Feb 24, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

it has all the properties

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

You can try doing what he suggested and do just guild.channels.find(rest of function here or client.guild.channels.find or even message.guild

#

I don't see that being the issue but it could be

#

Message.guild is what I would recommend cause it's already a fucntion the fetches reactions to messages

#

If that makes sense I know I probably could have explained that better

I also have a variable messages = 0 it should update it everytime but idk how

copper cradle Feb 24, 2020, 4:58 AM

@lavish seal in the switch statement

#

After case 'something' use : not ;

#

And you gotta be careful with indentation

#

And also add a break; at the end of each case statement

#

Like so

#

let flower = 'dandelion';
switch(flower) {
    case 'dandelion':
        console.log('ah, such a good flower');
        break;
    default:
        console.log('shitty ass flower eww');
        break;

@lavish seal you have need to put the else after the if user

also you can just remove the else after the if member because the first one is already enough

i have found that you can send a embed a local image and then when you send you can do file=file https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-do-i-use-a-local-image-file-for-an-embed-image - is it possible to do this for multiple files e.g. image, thumbnail, author image etc?

lusty quest Feb 24, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

if you do it right maybe

#

    let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
    embed.attachFile(attachment);
    embed.setImage("attachment://image.png");``` i do it in this way in one of my commands (its probably more than you want to do) but if you got the image local in a folder you can use a local link

#

As far as I'm aware you can only attach one file per message

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

I would say the same thing as you haari-san, one attachment per message, even those including or excluding embeds, which is why when you upload multiple image local files it will send multiple messages instead of just one.

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

@modest maple thanks

neat ingot Feb 24, 2020, 8:55 AM

#

how would you handle reporting and things like that when using shards?

#

i mean, i assume not all shards should be sending report information to any api endpoint that might be waiting. would you collect the shard information and then send it from your main file instead?

earnest phoenix Feb 24, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

@modest maple you can actually still include multiple attachments in one message

#

it's just that most libs don't support it

Read the Discord.js docs.
https://discord.js.org/

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.

the highlighting is visual anyways

copper cradle Feb 24, 2020, 12:04 PM

yeah

#

it's not like seeing the word function in purple or red (like my pee) matters

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:05 PM

I can just copy paste it in visual studio code for the visual effects

Why do you have a random } on the bot login?

#

Oh wait nvm that's just my eyes being blind

#

That's your issue

#

You are trying to login the bot on the event message

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

you need to do that outside

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:09 PM

Take the bot#login(token) outside of that event and just leave it on the outside

yes.

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

oh

#

oki

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:10 PM

#

The reason it wasn't working for you is because you were trying to login the bot after registering the message event which requires the bot to be logged in hence it wouldn't work.

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:10 PM

to make it look better

but this code wasn't so long so yeah

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:13 PM

I mean but to me I have a big issue with white backgrounds (and reading on them) anyway so I guess that also contributes to it.

the second is that i fucking need to do a currency system so i will die

use a database

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:16 PM

quick.db?

use anything EXCEPT JSON

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:16 PM

everyone talks about it

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:16 PM

you can use quick.db sure

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:16 PM

I'd suggest MySQL or Mongo.

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

quick.db is basically sqlite for babys@lilac wharf

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

In my experience I'd suggest using an external storage method which isn't attached to the main server to prevent it from being taken down if you forget to pay for VPS Hosting etc... such as mongo's free 512MB hosting

ok

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

ouch

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

you should probably get a vps

#

as its better than selfhosting in thousands of ways

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

you should ~~probably~~ get a vps.

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

yes

#

or a raspberry pi

#

just don't selfhost

#

thats the worst option

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

wi a vps?

#

what is

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

its the short form for Virtual Private Server

#

its a server where you can run your programms on

#

like your bot

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

so it gets my bot on and i dont do anything?

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

well you have to set up the server first

#

once you did it tho it stays on 24/7

#

your pc doesn't have to be on

#

its only a few bucks a month

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

im poor

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

you can selfhost but that requires a good connection and your pc to be online 24/7

#

and that would be like I said the worst option

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:28 PM

#

Just be thankful you aren't doing something like me, Paying $120/year for one vps which hosts the site, backend api and the bot itself on 4gb ram.

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:28 PM

#

4gb

#

wooooooomyyyy

lilac wharf Feb 24, 2020, 12:29 PM

I think I might have gotten the price wrong, let me check

solemn quartz Feb 24, 2020, 12:29 PM

i can just close the PC but not turn it off

as long as your process stays running

if you really don't have any choice execpt to selfhost you can try using glitch

either selfhost

but you would rather selfhost than use glitch trust me

vestal star Feb 24, 2020, 12:35 PM

or pay $2.50 for vultr

#

also, for what, why do you not like glitch, it runs pretty well

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 12:37 PM

it has bad stats

#

when you look at memory and disk space

#

even more memory than disk space

vestal star Feb 24, 2020, 12:38 PM

But, it runs very well. The only thing is that you would have to get a db somewhere else in the cloud

re-read your code and study it, you clearly missed some sort of declaration and have unnecessary brackets

@earnest phoenix hey, I noticed you are doing it in on_message, I would suggest getting the commands extension. Makes it way cleaner and easier 🙂

#

Oh wait, its Javascript. Thought it was python for a sec. Not sure if js has a commands extension

mossy vine Feb 24, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

it does have d.js-commando

#

but its trash

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Oof commando 🤮

mossy vine Feb 24, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

just write your own command handler at that point

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 2:36 PM

making your own command handler is better than using commando

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 2:36 PM

100%

glossy pasture Feb 24, 2020, 2:36 PM

Never heard of commando, I use the python commands extension :)

btw im really annoyed rn so can someone suggest me a cmd to add to my bot?

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 3:54 PM

Each shard gets a different set of guilds it's more for bigger more popular (1000+guilds) bots, Makes the load easier in a way keeps the bot running fast responding fast ect

I hate trying to explain how shards work and what they are lol but 🤷🏻‍♂️

#

@solemn quartz make a gamble function, more basic commands etc
@earnest phoenix i should do a currency system to do that

#

and that would take a loooong time

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 3:58 PM

Where do you guys recommend me to learn the language

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

The guides is a start

#

For discord.js outside of the official docs their is the anidiotsguide name aside it is a decent guide but as always make sure you reference the official guide/and or docs to make sure fucntions ect are up to date

#

JS is honestly pretty simple to learn for the most part even outside of discord

earnest phoenix Feb 24, 2020, 4:05 PM

i miss something here but idk what.

#

    let sql = `SELECT `+table+` FROM Serverconfig."`+database+`"`
    connection.query(sql, function (err, result, fields) {
      if (err) throw err;
      console.log(result)
     return result
    });   
}``` i try to get the result but its always empty

#

the console log in the function contains the data i wanted

hoary elm Feb 24, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

what are you trying to do with ```js
return result

lusty quest Feb 24, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

i want to use the data i get out of the function in a command

#

its for a per server configuration and currently i want to set the prefix from the config. got it already with enmap working but want now switch to mysql in case i need sharding

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

you cannot return a result given to you in a callback

#

not like that

lusty quest Feb 24, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

sorry for that most of my knowledge is from error and trial and reading docs

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

    getData(result => {
      // result is available here
      // returning here does nothing because the result is not returned in time
    })
    // result is NOT available here
    // the function exits and returns undefined
    // the getData part does not wait
}```

lusty quest Feb 24, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

so making it async could help? or did i get this part wrong?

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

this is how it works:
you call getData, and the code sends it to a temporary place until the result is available
meanwhile the code continues
once the result is availabole, the part inside the return scope continues, at this point, it is completelty independent from the function which already returned

#

there are two solutions

put all the code that depends on the result inside the block where result is returned
wrap the getData function inside a Promise, and then await the promise

#

here's an example of how to wrap a function in a Promise:

#

function something() {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    getData(result => {
      resolve(result)
    })
  })
}```

#

then you can use it in an async function like await something()

lusty quest Feb 24, 2020, 4:40 PM

ok thank you

Does anyone know how to sort this list in java by the first number only?

Unsorted: [0i218970213574508555, 1i425357961196470292, 0i201850930121932801, 0i466966675183370268, 0i668827593591750675, 0i330117785776685068, 7i509279793926111242]

#

note: the value of the list are strings

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

java or javascript?

tranquil copper Feb 24, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Java

#

do you know how i have to do this. Because i need a working leaderboard for my idle bot. The first number is the level of the user. The i is just for seperating the 2 values later on. and all after the i is the memberid.

short siren Feb 24, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

@earnest phoenix You forgot a switch statement and it's not in an event oof

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

i dont use java so idk, but there should be a sorter function

tranquil copper Feb 24, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

yeah but it sorts the list as string so 0 to 9 is perfect but all above 9 is sorted beyond 1

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

yeah what i mean is a sorter function where you can pass your own parameters and comparators

earnest phoenix Feb 24, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

sa

#

@earnest phoenix, As

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

for example, javascript has this: js array.sort((a,b) => a.split("i")[0] - b.split("i")[0])

Türk varmı

grizzled raven Feb 24, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

you know

#

you could just do a[0]

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

it sorts by splitting the items by the i and comparing the first part

grizzled raven Feb 24, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

star eval silent message.author.send("string"[0])

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

no because the number before the i can be bigger than 9

#

ie 34i824823043720

oh yeah true actually

What is the best way to get rid of dependencies I'm no longer dependant on?

#

Do I just remove them with npm and delete them from my package.json?

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

sure

#

go to the node modules folder and delete the folder with the module you don't want anymore

true ravine Feb 24, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Alright thank you very much

marble juniper Feb 24, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

and remove it from the package.json

true ravine Feb 24, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Yeah thank you

quartz kindle Feb 24, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

you can use npm uninstall lib -s

#

the -s makes it save the removal and update your package.json

#

otherwise it will be uninstalled but not removed from package.json

hi, when using wait_for (I am using python) i am really struggling to make sure i only wait_for the last wait_for entered by a user. how can i make sure it stops wait_for previous wait_fors?

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

your gonna need to send le code xD

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

ok... but its pretty ugly

#

def check(m, u):
            try:
                print(m,u,ctx.message.author,m.message.channel,m.content)
                return u == ctx.message.author and m.message.channel == ctx.message.channel and int(m.content) > 0 and int(m.content) < 11
            except:
                print('failed...',m.content)
                False

        try:
            if ctx.message.author in pending_tasks:
                pending_tasks[ctx.message.author].close()
            pending_tasks[ctx.message.author] = bot.wait_for('message', timeout=300.0, check=check)
            message, user = await pending_tasks[ctx.message.author]
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await ctx.send('Timeout')
        else:
            await ctx.send('Cool, thanks!')

#

some of this code is based on a stackoverflow answer

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

i noticed

#

idk why u have a random False statement floating around

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

woops that should be return False

#

the error im currently getting is TypeError: check() missing 1 required positional argument: 'u' which is in my check i think

#

however i feel i might be barking up the wrong tree here

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

cuz you only getting the message object

#

you dont get anything else

#

the 'message' event is exact same as on_message

#

you only get the same stuff as you do the normal avent

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

can i drop the u,m and just use ctx.message. ? i am a little lost

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

you just get passed message

#

so drop the u

#

keep the m

#

you get the user object from message object

#

which is message.author

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

is m.message.author the same as ctx.message.author?

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

no

#

m is the same as message

#

so message.author would be m.author

#

youre just changing the var name

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

what is ctx.message.author?

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

ctx is just context

#

its just a context object

#

it just saves you having todo message.send, with ctx you just do ctx.send

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

thanks, i dont think i fully get it but i think i have enough to make some changes and continue

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

ok i have gotten through the check, but now i am getting this error: py message, user = await pending_tasks[ctx.message.author] RuntimeError: cannot reuse already awaited coroutine

#

although im unsure whether it is meant to throw that error

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

that gets thrown if the thing its calling has already been awaited

#

meaning its already been sent off as a future task

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

so the except except asyncio.TimeoutError: await ctx.send('Timeout') is intended for that error?

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

no

#

that only catches the Wait_for() function raising a timeout exeption

#

what happens if u remove the await from await pending_tasks[ctx.message.author]

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

so if i execute the initial command twice i get this error message, user = pending_tasks[ctx.message.author] TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable coroutine object

#

now after removing the await

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

what is pending_tasks

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

its a dictpending_tasks[ctx.message.author] = bot.wait_for('message', timeout=300.0, check=check)

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

show full code again

#

also use author IDs not objects

#

cuz somtimes causing caching issues

vagrant tree Feb 24, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

def check(m):
            try:
                return m.author == ctx.message.author and m.channel == ctx.message.channel and int(m.content) > 0 and int(m.content) < 11
            except:
                print('failed...',m.content)
                return False

            print('completed check!!!')
            message, user = pending_tasks[ctx.message.author]
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await ctx.send('Timeout')
        else:
            await ctx.send('Cool, thanks!')

modest maple Feb 24, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

ah

#

ah okay

#

i get this now

#

right

#

pending_tasks[ctx.message.author] = bot.wait_for('message', timeout=300.0, check=check) will work but you cant call a coro without awaiting it unless your saving the future object to a var to be awaited later which causes blocking and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Check is only called on the message event, The message event will only happen when the wait for is awaited so you cant assign a coro object then try to unpack it after

#

 if ctx.message.author in pending_tasks:
                pending_tasks[ctx.message.author].close()
            print(pending_tasks)
            pending_tasks[ctx.message.author] = bot.wait_for('message', timeout=300.0, check=check)
            print('completed check!!!')
            message, user = pending_tasks[ctx.message.author]```

#

seems a little unessesairy

#

like


message = bot.wait_for('message', timeout=300.0, check=check)

would be enough

#

its litterally doing the same thing according to that check

lavish seal Feb 24, 2020, 9:09 PM

AH, nevermind i messed up and made the const user2 cause it was already declared for the kick command but i never changed the other (user) to user 2

changed it and its fixed now
