development

[true ravine]

Is for things like checking what game users are playing?

Or just if they're online or not?

[quartz kindle]

both

also affects username updates

[true ravine]

Oh right

[quartz kindle]

and pfp changes

[neat ingot]

but they'r gonna limit that in future right?

[true ravine]

My bot uses whether users are online or not so I guess I have to keep it

[quartz kindle]

wdym limit? there are certain restrictions when using it already

[neat ingot]

i dont do anything presence related since i broke my bot by iterating over 40k users each second trying to check their online activity

#noobbot 😄

there was some post where they are gonna be limiting it to 100 guilds

if you use presence data

[quartz kindle]

yes, also for guildMember data

it requires turning on a setting in your bot application

in discordapp

[neat ingot]

ye

what does that mean though ~@ track server members

like, would using message.member count?

[quartz kindle]

the guildMember intent affects memberAdd memberRemove and memberUpdate

[neat ingot]

like, the events?

[pine aspen]

Hey.
So.
I've been trying to search for data in a column.

      let crow = await con.prepare('SELECT * FROM codes');
      const { code } = await con.prepare('SELECT code FROM codes');
      if(code == args[0]) {

i think this is the code that is messing up.

[quartz kindle]

if you use intents but dont enable guild members, you dont receive any guild member events

meaning your bot will not be able to track members, nor their count

nor when they join/leave

nor nickname updates

[neat ingot]

:/

i had to use guild.memberCount for getting accurate member count since bot.client.users fails hard af

tells me 10k, when its over 120k now

[quartz kindle]

you can still estimate member count via guild.memberCount

but the count will not be updated automatically

[neat ingot]

ahhh

[quartz kindle]

basically it will only be accurate at login

after that it will lose track of it

[neat ingot]

but those are gonna fail right?

[quartz kindle]

yup

[neat ingot]

ehh, idm, i was thinking of removing the welcome emssages and mod stuff from my bot anyway

there are tons of bots for that that do it better, mines is more rpg minigame focused

so no real need

[quartz kindle]

@pine aspen i believe i have answered your question before

.prepare() will create a prepared statement, but not run anything by itself

[pine aspen]

Ok.

[quartz kindle]

you need to actually execute the queries after preparing them

[pine aspen]

.query()

[quartz kindle]

refer to your library's documentation

[pine aspen]

Then?

Ok.

Thanks.

[quartz kindle]

which library are you using?

[pine aspen]

Discord.js

[quartz kindle]

database library

[pine aspen]

Oh.

MYSQL

[quartz kindle]

npm mysql?

[pine aspen]

Yes

[quartz kindle]

doesnt look like the library supports prepared statements at all

[pine aspen]

if(code == args[0]) {
            let row = await con.prepare('SELECT * FROM config WHERE guildid = ?').get(message.guild.id);
            const { premium } = await con.prepare('SELECT premium FROM config WHERE guildid = ?').get(message.guild.id);
            if (premium == 0) {

I have prepare for my premium.

It works fine.

[quartz kindle]

that looks like a different library

the example for mysql shows this

connection.query('UPDATE users SET foo = ?, bar = ?, baz = ? WHERE id = ?', ['a', 'b', 'c', userId], function (error, results, fields) {
  if (error) throw error;
  // ...
});```

[true ravine]

That's how my mysql stuff works

I've never seen it done the way syn has it

[quartz kindle]

better-sqlite3 does it that way

[true ravine]

Ah well I haven't used that

[pine aspen]

I'm not trying to update though.

I'm trying to fetch for a data in the column.

[true ravine]

You use the same structure

[quartz kindle]

its not about updating

its about how the library works

[pine aspen]

Ah.

Ok.

[quartz kindle]

the mysql library works like this connection.query("SQL",[parameters],(error,result,fields) => {})

your code shows this connection.prepare("SQL").get(parameters)

[pine aspen]

Ok.

[quartz kindle]

its a completely different library, its not mysql

which library are you using?

[pine aspen]

I have mysql installed in my Node_Modules.

[quartz kindle]

show your package.json

[pine aspen]

  "dependencies": {
    "ascii-table": "0.0.9",
    "bot-utils": "^1.4.2",
    "common-tags": "^1.8.0",
    "discord.js": "^11.5.1",
    "fs": "0.0.1-security",
    "moment": "^2.24.0",
    "mysql": "^2.18.1"
  },

[true ravine]

Yeah that's mysql so use the structure described by tim

[quartz kindle]

i cant find any mention of .prepare in the mysql page

you said your other code is working?

[pine aspen]

Yes.

[slate oyster]

Awesome. The developers of the library I use said they automatically process rate limits for me, across multiple library calls

[pine aspen]

All my codes are working.

Apart from my code fetch.

https://sourceb.in/8ac825e494

example this works.

fine.

[quartz kindle]

thats not using mysql

thats using a con object you passed to the run function

[pine aspen]

My Con

[quartz kindle]

show the code that calls the run function

[pine aspen]

Wdym?

[true ravine]

In index

[pine aspen]

Like login to databse?

[quartz kindle]

what is con

[true ravine]

Yeah but hide the credentials

[pine aspen]

Duh

const Database = require('./handlers/Database');
const con = new Database({
    connectionLimit: 20,
    host: '',
    user: '',
    password: '',
    database: ''
})```

This is con Tim

[quartz kindle]

well, what is /handlers/Database?

[true ravine]

My mysql con looks nothing like that

[neat ingot]

i wish my package dependencies were asa few as your syn 😄

[true ravine]

That's mysql

[pine aspen]

https://sourceb.in/93749f19b0

Yeah thats what's in ^^

[quartz kindle]

oh

who wrote that?

[pine aspen]

A friend.

I didn't

[quartz kindle]

thats like a custom wrapper for the mysql library

[pine aspen]

Probaby.

He just explained me how to use it.

Not how it works.

[quartz kindle]

alright, then you should follow what he says

there is no documentation for that as its custom made

[pine aspen]

I did.

But idk.

I'll ask him.

How it works.

[quartz kindle]

the code you showed before was lacking the .get() part

thats why its not working

[true ravine]

Might be more useful to use something documented if you're trying to learn

At least there's support

[pine aspen]

K

Thanks for the help.

[blissful scaffold]

@slate oyster D4J already has rate limiting for ages ^^

[pine aspen]

THANKS!

I got it to work.

Tim you gave me an idea when you said .get() and now it works!

There's a few errors which i should be able to fix.

[nocturne grove]

Does anyone have a good idea on how to measure a MySQL database latency in JS?
Would something like this be trustworthy?

// get time a here
con.query('SELECT 1', (err) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  // get time b here
  console.log('The latency is ' + time b - time a);
});```

[modest maple]

how fucking big is your DB for it to take a noticable amount of time

[true ravine]

Lol true

[nocturne grove]

really small rn 😂

but I sometimes saw a database ping in a ping command

[modest maple]

why bother

it should be such a insignificant amount

[true ravine]

I guess store var before = new Date() before the request and then compare it to var after = new Date() once the request is done - but it will be a tiny number

[modest maple]

even a large DB is factions of second

[true ravine]

Yeah

[nocturne grove]

yeah I know it's a really small time, but I just want to know

[true ravine]

Fair enough I guess

[nocturne grove]

@true ravine with 'once the request is done' you mean in the con.query thing itself?

[blissful scaffold]

As long as the db is not physically far away the ping should always be near 0

[true ravine]

As long as the db is not physically far away the ping should always be near 0
Yeah

@true ravine with 'once the request is done' you mean in the con.query thing itself?
After you check for errors

[nocturne grove]

okay okay

[true ravine]

Basically where you console.log is

[nocturne grove]

thank you both for your help

[true ravine]

Np

[pine aspen]

How can i fix this error.

(node:468) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot destructure property `code` of 'undefined' or 'null'.
    at Object.run (/app/data/DiscordBot/commands/misc/redeem.js:36:5)

It check's if code is valid.

If the code is not valid i want it to do something.

https://sourceb.in/2481929ef7

It does the correct thing if the code is valid btw

(in the table)

[true ravine]

You can always use a catch block

[pine aspen]

oh

ya

try

then } catch {
}

right?

[true ravine]

Or with normal mysql you get an err object that you can literally throw in an if statement

[pine aspen]

try {

} catch {

}

Ok.

[true ravine]

badcode()
.catch(() => {
  console.log("oopsie")
})

Like that

[earnest phoenix]

or

here's a crazy thought

fix the code that throws errors?

try catching everything is not the solution and a ton of memory gets wasted on handling exceptions/errors

[pine aspen]

@earnest phoenix Gosh. Why didn't i think of that.

[true ravine]

Pff who wants a stable platform in 2020?

[pine aspen]

Indeed.

Wait?

wdym by badcode()

[true ravine]

Thats the code that might go wrong

[pine aspen]

Ah k

[true ravine]

It doesn't literally have to be badcode

[earnest phoenix]

bomboclaat

[blissful scaffold]

Make sure you always log errors that you catch, you will regret it later if you don't

[true ravine]

Indeed

[pine aspen]

Alright.

[earnest phoenix]

where is peanut dread?

[pine aspen]

console.err(err)

🙂

[true ravine]

👍

[quartz kindle]

you cannot destructure a property if it doesnt exist

lets examine your query, you have { something } = await database.prepare().get()

this means that, if the database returns an object like this { something:10 } the value of your something variable will be 10

but what if the database doesnt find anything? what if the supplied parameters are not found in the database?

the code will try to extract a something property from nothing

the error says that your database is returning either a null value or an undefined value

so you have to account for those possibilities before trying to extract a property out of them

essentially, doing { something } = value is the same as doing something = value.something. and if for some reason value is null, then doing { something } = value will be the same as something = null.something, which will throw an error, because null cannot have values

also, you're running a lot of duplicated queries, which is terribly innefficient

thats basically the same as loading a website twice to get one word from it each time, instead of loading a website once and getting two words from it

[digital ibex]

hi

does anyone know what

means? And why its not working on the vm but its working on my pc

[quartz kindle]

show code

[true ravine]

When I was having problems where my code worked on my pc but not my server, it was because on my server I was running using node index.js instead of node .. Might not fix your problem but it could be an easy fix?

[digital ibex]

        let embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
            .setAuthor(`Total: ${lost.commands.size}`, message.author.displayAvatarURL())
            .setColor('#fffffa')
            .addField('Administration', 'a!purge\na!dm\na!slowmode', true)
            .addField(
                'Moderation',
                'a!ban\na!unban\na!kick\na!mute\na!unmute\na!purge\na!dm\na!slowmdode\na!checknick',
                true
            )
            .addBlankField()
            .addField('Utility', 'a!say\na!erotes\na!roles\na!emotes', true)
            .addField(
                'Info',
                'a!commands\na!help [command]\na!info\na!invite\na!lost\na!membercount\na!ping\na!uptime',
                true
            );
        message.channel.send(embed);``` you need to see more?

[true ravine]

Isn't it meant to be new Discord.RichEmbed()?

[digital ibex]

not for master

[true ravine]

Ah I see

Looks fine to me tbh

[quartz kindle]

@digital ibex Discord.js v12 does not have addBlankField()

[digital ibex]

uh, it was woring before

what would i need to do?

[quartz kindle]

it was removed 6 days ago

use .addField("\u200B","\u200B")

its basically what blankField was doing internally

[digital ibex]

oh

[earnest phoenix]

how I can fix that

[quartz kindle]

have you tried clicking on "click here for help"?

[earnest phoenix]

am yes

I click on click here for help and he give me link for this server

[quartz kindle]

then you need to ask a moderator

or ask in #general

[pine aspen]

@quartz kindle wouldn't it work if i tested for code as null?

if (code == null);

[quartz kindle]

if(!code) should suffice, but you have to do that without destructuring

ie:

let response = await con.prepare().get();
if(!response) { return message.channel.send("not found") }
let code = response.code```
or just use response.code directly

[pine aspen]

k

[earnest phoenix]

Can i get the reason for banning dexter bot ”675991950762967040”? I am a bot mod

[modest maple]

Wasn't banned

[modest maple]

Read what it says

Its API abuse

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

[grizzled raven]

can you get the content of system on join messages?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

does someone know how to make my bot icon moving

like moving to top and down

in dbl page

[quartz kindle]

css animation

[earnest phoenix]

yeah but

how

webkit-animation: mover 1.5s infinite alternate;
    animation: mover 1.5s infinite alternate;
    -webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    border-radius: 50%;```

@quartz kindle

[slender thistle]

Did Google help

[quartz kindle]

did you define the keyframes?

[earnest phoenix]

huh no

1 sec

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix is gay

self bot

[copper cradle]

are they even here

[tight plinth]

What a self bot

Is he here

[copper cradle]

@earnest phoenix yeah

this isn't the channel tho

[tight plinth]

That's him

[earnest phoenix]

as i explained to him, i dont selfbot

[mossy vine]

/coinflip

sick

[tight plinth]

So how u do embeds

[copper cradle]

the only way to send an embed on an user account is selfbotting

[mossy vine]

well not really

[copper cradle]

could be an imh

but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[tight plinth]

It's the only way

Lol

[mossy vine]

could be an oauth app with permission to send messages

[copper cradle]

still

selfbotting

[mossy vine]

that is not selfbotting

[tight plinth]

Selfbot

[mossy vine]

but it could be

[earnest phoenix]

oh mah god

[knotty steeple]

whats an oauth app

[mossy vine]

ok sam idk if thats the right term

i cant english today

[knotty steeple]

only thing that can send images is users bots and webhooks

and both webhooks and bots have a bot tag in their name

[vague chasm]

@earnest phoenix selfbot?

[tight plinth]

What's ur prefix proper

[knotty steeple]

and webhooks cant have roles

[earnest phoenix]

no ffs

[mossy vine]

@earnest phoenix how do you do it then lol

[knotty steeple]

so from images alone its a selfbot

logically

[tight plinth]

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

he made me gay aswell several times

[knotty steeple]

unless its just some dumb joke

[tight plinth]

He says "no selfbot" but no proofs

[earnest phoenix]

in every channel

[knotty steeple]

and he is posting images

[red hollow]

@earnest phoenix say /coinflip now without delay

[earnest phoenix]

@tight plinth how do you want me to prove

[knotty steeple]

HE MADE ME GAY

[tight plinth]

Well prove

[knotty steeple]

man this is the wrong channel

[earnest phoenix]

/coinflip

[red hollow]

yeah u shutted it down

[knotty steeple]

you can turn off the selfbot

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

oh mah god

[red hollow]

ye he did

[earnest phoenix]

i was reading testin 1

[knotty steeple]

also the images are from a different server

[mossy vine]

honestly alex was smart af, not only straight up threatening a report but also reporting it in a public and wrong channel

[knotty steeple]

2000iq

[earnest phoenix]

im done

[knotty steeple]

who cares

omegalul

[mossy vine]

unless you can prove how you sent those messages without selfbot its obvious

[earnest phoenix]

he made me gay

lmaoo

its just my bot guys

dw

lier

[quartz kindle]

but is your bot using your user token?

[knotty steeple]

and tbf he did actually call him gay

so thats not a lie

but why

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix did you put your user token in your bot?

[knotty steeple]

how tf do u even get a user token now

like

[red hollow]

widget

[earnest phoenix]

insp element

[hoary elm]

^^

[quartz kindle]

so yes, its a selfbot

[knotty steeple]

well if u did put a user token its a selfbot 😂 👌

[hoary elm]

Literally just admitted it and doesn't even realize 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[knotty steeple]

@coral trellis can u do something pls

[coral trellis]

Why is this even being discussed here

[knotty steeple]

idk

[mossy vine]

cuz some idiot decided to report here

i mean what

[earnest phoenix]

could be an oauth app with permission to send messages
this is impossible by the way

no app can send messages for you

[mossy vine]

yes i realized

[earnest phoenix]

otherwise that would be a huge both privacy and security breach

[mossy vine]

ive read so many other api docs i swore discord has something like that too

[earnest phoenix]

well

it used to

it had rpc which was whitelist only

[slender thistle]

I thought Discord oauth could do that

[earnest phoenix]

but that is long abandoned

[slender thistle]

lalala I'm a butterfly

I'm not smart but I fly around

[quartz kindle]

cant a client emulate discord's own oauth flow for users?

[unique nimbus]

@slender thistle you are smart smh

[slender thistle]

this isn't #memes-and-media

[unique nimbus]

true

[earnest phoenix]

is that a question or a statement

are you asking where to find it?

[summer torrent]

under the esc

[earnest phoenix]

google the type of your keyboard and append backtick

[unique nimbus]

left of 1

wait is this for a qwerty keyboard

[mossy vine]

omg yall just assume everyone has the same keyboard layout

its alt gr + 7 for me smhhh

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[unique nimbus]

oh god

[earnest phoenix]

is it that hard

facedesk

to do a damn google search

[unique nimbus]

under 1 what letter is there?

[mossy vine]

omg

are you stupid or something

[true ravine]

To be honest I use a nes keyboard with my computer smh

[unique nimbus]

Is there a Q?

next to it is there a W

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[mossy vine]

LMAOOOO

[unique nimbus]

Okay

[earnest phoenix]

ouch my brain cells

[unique nimbus]

Next to W is there a E?

it looks like this

well american keyboard layout

but somewhat same

what is that supposed to mean

Like this?

Where are you from

[true ravine]

On windows try pressing windows key and space to see keyboards

[earnest phoenix]

jesus christ just google your keyboard layout and backtick

is this clear enough

[true ravine]

Not enough arrows smh

[slender thistle]

@earnest phoenix sorry what are we supposed to see on that screenshot?

[unique nimbus]

google

[earnest phoenix]

this

[slender thistle]

I think I need to click on the arrows

Oh thanks my issue is solved now

[earnest phoenix]

no probleM 👍 !

[slender thistle]

cry is a helpful dev
now how do you call Python functions in ASM

[grizzled raven]

[earnest phoenix]

asm lol

[grizzled raven]

why is the link purple though

[slender thistle]

Because he visited it

ez

[earnest phoenix]

dark reader and i visited it

[slender thistle]

Where you got that sweet dark reader from?

[unique nimbus]

google

[grizzled raven]

yes

[unique nimbus]

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh?hl=en-GB

I am guessing you use chrome

it is also on Firefox

[earnest phoenix]

lol no

[grizzled raven]

nah he uses safari

[unique nimbus]

https://darkreader.org/

ez

[earnest phoenix]

chrome more like here you go use my data without my consent

[slender thistle]

Chromium enough

[unique nimbus]

Firefox > *

[earnest phoenix]

this tbh

[grizzled raven]

[true ravine]

Isn't the discord windows client based on chrome?

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

chromium

aka electron

[grizzled raven]

what is the difference between chrome and ium

[true ravine]

One is cool one is edgy

[pale vessel]

chromium doesn't have feature like sign in

[grizzled raven]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

chromium is open src

[pale vessel]

no sync afaik

[true ravine]

Chromium has sign in and sync?

[earnest phoenix]

and it acts as a base for chrome

[mossy vine]

chromium is mostly just chrome but less bloat

[earnest phoenix]

okay my internet is fucking me

[pale vessel]

that's erotic

[grizzled raven]

did your internet ask for consent?

[true ravine]

dont give them tea

[earnest phoenix]

anyways chromium sucks and it consumes an ungodly amount of ram for no reason

[mossy vine]

chromium has sync wdym

[pale vessel]

ok

so

[neat ingot]

chromium is a stripped down version of chrome, that is also open source.

[pale vessel]

but still shit

[mossy vine]

not really

chrome is chromium + more

but yea

[true ravine]

thats why you can only install chromium os on windows not chrome os

because chrome os is for cool people

[pale vessel]

lag city

[true ravine]

Windows machines *

[pale vessel]

i can install it on my linux machine

[true ravine]

Because it's linux based I swear

[pale vessel]

you swear?

[true ravine]

Not on christian servers

[pale vessel]

good.

[split hazel]

I'm confused and never had this issue before, for some reason running console.log on ascii (surrounded by back ticks) returns "irregular expression"

[pale vessel]

can we have a snippet of the code?

[slender thistle]

@earnest phoenix so firefox > chromium in a way?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

by a mile

[pale vessel]

just a mile?

[slender thistle]

I'll let your internet send the replies in an hour

[earnest phoenix]

firefox actually cares about user privacy

[pale vessel]

free vpn also

[quartz kindle]

firefox's engine is weird af tho

always needs dedicated css rules to fix inconsistencies

[pale vessel]

i don't trust opera since it's a chinese company

[slender thistle]

But do you trust TikTok

[pale vessel]

no

[slender thistle]

Good

[tight plinth]

Opera is a independent Chinese company

[pale vessel]

never even signed up nor download

[tight plinth]

They don't sell data to government

[pale vessel]

tiktok is cancer

had to say it

[earnest phoenix]

because it is

[pale vessel]

but is the opera gx worth the try

[mossy vine]

but is this the right channel

[true ravine]

No because yall just ignored someone who asked for help xd

[mossy vine]

your question was answered

[true ravine]

Not me

I mean tbf they didn't reply to flazepe so idk

[pale vessel]

b-but

[cerulean salmon]

how to set time limit on bot message response ?
i mean user need to response between 1/2 min

[crimson vapor]

create a message collector with a 30000 ms timeout

[earnest phoenix]

https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/releases/tag/11.6.0

ooooof

[quartz kindle]

nice

[summer torrent]

master is best

[quartz kindle]

true

[pale vessel]

is it stable? i'm worried the code will keep on changing

i might migrate

[quartz kindle]

holy

we can finally fetch member presences

without using presence packets

[pale vessel]

which type of presence?

[quartz kindle]

guildMember presences

[pale vessel]

i thought we already have that

[quartz kindle]

not when fetching

[pine aspen]

Hey.

[pine aspen]

AH.

Yeah. Thanks I got it.

[marble juniper]

can anyone suggest a node module or any api that can auto detect a language

its for my translate command

(node.js)

[summer torrent]

google-translate

[hoary elm]

@earnest phoenix so when you run the command it gets your info?

[restive furnace]

message.guild.members.find()

[hoary elm]

No

Why did you say message twice

First of all msg isn't a thing

[restive furnace]

edited alr

[hoary elm]

Unless you define it

[restive furnace]

^ same as message. if you dont define it, it arent a thing.

[hoary elm]

message is a thing when used in a message event 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's automatically defined via the event

[restive furnace]

nope.

[hoary elm]

Lol ok

[restive furnace]

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

[hoary elm]

client.on("message", message => {

Defines the message

[restive furnace]

u can choose it can be bruh too

or what ever

[hoary elm]

Yeah that's a message event

Yes you can choose what you want it to be your not wrong

But it is defined with the function the variable is whatever you set it as

[grizzled raven]

wht

nvm

[hoary elm]

For a userinfo command if it's returning his info even if he tags someone I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say he didn't define how to call the user he tags

[grizzled raven]

is there a way to stop multiple instances of a bot without restarting the whole process?

bruh i cant word anything

😔

[hoary elm]

Lol

Umm token reset?

[grizzled raven]

ok if you have a bot sending 3 messages, how do you stop that without restarting the bot

[hoary elm]

Don't quote me on that ^

[restive furnace]

Probably by stopping the other instances

[hoary elm]

@grizzled raven so say if you run the help command it returns the response multiple times?

Yeah I'd do a token Regen or find what other instances are running and stop them. (Again token Regen not guaranteed to work but usually helps me)

[grizzled raven]

@restive furnace but like how would i go about that

and also, it seems as if its works together, like say i set a cooldown, the other instances also have that cooldown cached

[hoary elm]

@grizzled raven do you use d.js?

[grizzled raven]

yes

[hoary elm]

Does your bot restart often on its own?

[quartz kindle]

describe what you want to achieve

i dont understand what you're on about

[hoary elm]

Me?

[quartz kindle]

noob

[hoary elm]

Oh

He's just having the multiple instances issue

Bot responds to one thing multiple times

[quartz kindle]

yeah but what for?

[hoary elm]

It does it for anything he said.. commands, cooldowns

if you mean lang it's d.js

[quartz kindle]

no i mean what he wants to achieve, if i dont understand what he wants, its hard to suggest how to approach the problem

[hoary elm]

Oh I see what you mean

[quartz kindle]

it could be load balancing, could be sharding issues

[hoary elm]

That is true

Honestly Sharding Issues didn't even cross my mind 🤦🏻‍♂️

@earnest phoenix then your bot is missing perms

Make sure it has the send messages perm, read channels perm ect

[grizzled raven]

@quartz kindle i havent sharded, the bot responds to commands and message multiple times, how do i stop it from responding multiple times without actually restarting thr bot

not right now, but im just asking for an if so

[hoary elm]

@earnest phoenix could be an error from another server then

@earnest phoenix this is for a userinfo command right?

Can you show me the code or tell me how you define the user

[quartz kindle]

@grizzled raven why does it respond multiple times? did you add multiple message events?

[hoary elm]

Oof

[crimson vapor]

hey guys, how would one check if a string is a color hex code?

[hoary elm]

Try something like this

let user = message.mentions.users.first();

if(!user) user = message.author

@earnest phoenix

Replace what you sent me with what I sent you

[charred jetty]

How to add image in canvas-constructor on glitch?

Then?

It's asking for path

Not link

[hoary elm]

@earnest phoenix what permissions does your bot have

It shouldn't throw a perms error unless it's missing a perm

To get it to stop sending your info

Delete This

And try this

let user = msg.mentions.users.first();

let muser = msg.guild.member(msg.mentions.users.first());

if (!muser) muser = msg.member;

if(!user) user = msg.author;

@earnest phoenix it works if you tag them because that's what your telling it to use

A tag/mention

[quartz kindle]

const user = message.mentions.users.first() || message.author || message.guild.members.find(args [1])

message.author always exists

so message.guild.members.find() is never checked

[hoary elm]

What I sent should work if he sets it up right that's similar to how my set up is currently

[quartz kindle]

just switch them around lol

also, .find() requires a function as an argument

not a value

[hoary elm]

Tim what if he wanted to get them VIA Nickname or ID that would be defining the user as args right?

Nickname is one idk how to do. I know how to make the bot use if they have a nickname in messages like <@!${user}> but mention them via their nickname I have never tried.

Don't even know if it's possible

But if I tag one it goes, only if I put the nickname it doesn't go
This is Also why I asked that question

[warm marsh]

Search the string with a users name?

[hoary elm]

No he wants to call them via a nickname like let user =

[warm marsh]

String = args.

[hoary elm]

I think

Anyways

[warm marsh]

<Guild>.members.find(x => x.whateverthenicknamepropisnowadays === args[index])

[hoary elm]

Oh it is a thing

I honestly didn't know that

[warm marsh]

Yeah stable it was displayName

Now it's nickname.

[hoary elm]

That's good actually could be useful

Thanks for telling me that exists 😁

[warm marsh]

Np.

I think it returns null if a user doesn't have a nickname, Will need to check though.

[hoary elm]

Would only make sense if it does. But I'll look into it

[grizzled raven]

@quartz kindle i dont know

that could actually be the case when i think about it, as when the client.ready event is emitted, it loads all commands and events

so actual

yeah

[hoary elm]

Lol

Easy fix 😁

[quartz kindle]

console.log(client._events)

[grizzled raven]

yeah nvm

i restarted the bot already

i was just asking for the next time it were to happen

[quartz kindle]

you can disable events by removing them from client._events

if that was the problem

[slender thistle]

Is that safe though

[quartz kindle]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

hello

how to remove this line

go to inspect element and check out what it is then remove it in your css

i cant see whats that.

[royal ravine]

How can i check if the mention is a user?

[earnest phoenix]

you very much can

ohhh

you'll have to regex check for it @royal ravine

is wrapper

[grizzled raven]

@royal ravine explain your problem a bit more

[royal ravine]

i have a command like SB give @ user

but when the author enters a role

so he tags a role

the script stops

cus it cant give a role a role

how can i check if the mention is a user in the channel

[quartz kindle]

what library?

[royal ravine]

i use disocrdjs

[quartz kindle]

how are you parsing the mention?

[royal ravine]

i am doing user = message.mentions.members.first()

and then i give the user a role

[grizzled raven]

show the error

[royal ravine]

1 sec

[earnest phoenix]

ok i cant

1 se

how to remove that line

i tried searching that in inspect element

but i cant find it

whats your bots id

going to try to find the element

658294671167979570

[royal ravine]

i fixed the error

:D

[earnest phoenix]

it's border-top property of the container @earnest phoenix

set it to none in your css

ok so

[neat ingot]

I've just spent way too long customizing my bots top gg page 😄

[earnest phoenix]

i put display: none

no

that's the display property

i said to set the border-top property to none

@neat ingot btw, sry for mention, but, how u put the bot icon moving

@earnest phoenix wym

what

[slender thistle]

kek

for the container, set border-top: none

[earnest phoenix]

.border-top
display: none;
}```

lol

oh

OHHH

OH

[quartz kindle]

learn css

[earnest phoenix]

okok

i understand

sry

[slender thistle]

Tbh CSS is hard imo

[earnest phoenix]

how the div class is named?

it's really... not

its called .container?

yes

okay ty

the class is called container

okay

. is a class selector

its just i did not understand it. @quartz kindle

[slender thistle]

Eh it's probably just me who sucks at this stuff /shrug

[earnest phoenix]

yeah i know

lmfao

but

i tought

the class was called like that

nvm

when you get stuck at those kind of things

play with the inspector

this exists

LMAO rip /

yeah

but i didnt see that

.container {
 border-top: none;
 }```

@earnest phoenix

does not work

[neat ingot]

@earnest phoenix css styles. you can view source on my page to see how, but i just pinched the css from medals page 😄

[earnest phoenix]

yeah yeah xdd i saw that xdd dw

[neat ingot]

border top?

your trying to remove the white line at the top of the page?

[earnest phoenix]

try selecting its id

#details

okay

[neat ingot]

#bot-details-page #details .container {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #18191c;
    border-top: 1px solid #18191c00;
    padding: 40px 0;
}

^functional

used it on mine

[earnest phoenix]

okay

@neat ingot but i need the keyframes for the animation in bot icon

btw, thanks it works

[amber fractal]

keyframe animations in css arent that hard

[neat ingot]

@-webkit-keyframes pulse {
  0% {
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 rgb(255, 181, 59);
  }
  70% {
      -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 20px rgb(255, 181, 59);
  }
  100% {
      -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 rgba(25, 118, 210, 0);
  }
}
@keyframes pulse {
  0% {
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 rgb(255, 181, 59);
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 rgb(255, 181, 59);
  }
  70% {
      -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 20px rgb(255, 181, 59);
      box-shadow: 0 0 0 20px rgba(25, 118, 210, 0);
  }
  100% {
      -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);
      box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);
  }
}

@keyframes float {
    0% {
        box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
        transform: translatey(0px);
    }
    50% {
        box-shadow: 0 25px 15px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
        transform: translatey(-20px);
    }
    100% {
        box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
        transform: translatey(0px);
    }
}```

[amber fractal]

or you can spoonfeed, that works

[neat ingot]

i copied from elsewhere so idm 😄

[amber fractal]

though they will never learn anything

[neat ingot]

this is true

but i already had the edit page opened, so was no real hasstle

and saves the dude at least 30 minutes if never done it before

[amber fractal]

But if you learn it you wont need to ask again

[earnest phoenix]

https://animista.net

[neat ingot]

also true 😄

[earnest phoenix]

thank me later

then i use this:

.bot-img img {
    -webkit-animation: mover 1.5s infinite alternate;
    animation: mover 1.5s infinite alternate;
    -webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    border-radius: 50%;
}```

@neat ingot right?

[quartz kindle]

you dont need to repeat properties if you use their short hand version

[neat ingot]

thats a pretty neat site cry 🙂

wait, you dont?

so i dont need to use the -webkit prefix?

[quartz kindle]

not that

repeating infinite

[earnest phoenix]

@neat ingot ¿?

[neat ingot]

ooohh lol. yea noah

[quartz kindle]

and also, most times you dont need to use -webkit

[neat ingot]

im trash with css 😦

[quartz kindle]

-webkit is to make it work in old versions of webkit browsers when those properties were still experimental

[neat ingot]

yea that'd make sense 😄

[quartz kindle]

so basically animation: name [duration] [timing-function] [delay] [iteration-count] [direction] [fill-mode] [play-state]

if you include those properties in the animation rule, you dont need to declare them separetely

animation: name 2s;
is the same as
animation-name: name;
animation-delay: 2s;

[neat ingot]

yea i figured what you meant. cause the animation has infinite declared its obsolete in the other declarations 😄

[quartz kindle]

yeah, and css is even smart enough to not require them in order

[grizzled raven]

if a message is partial, and you fetch it, will all the properties be fetched too, such as the author, reactions or channel properties

[neat ingot]

oohhhh, now thats a trick!

a partial message?

[grizzled raven]

yes

[quartz kindle]

yes, most properties will

[slender thistle]

They should

[quartz kindle]

channel most likely not

[grizzled raven]

huh

[neat ingot]

what makes a message only partial? slow speed?

[quartz kindle]

no

[grizzled raven]

im not on djsv12, so i cannot test this

[quartz kindle]

partial means its incomplete

[slender thistle]

Only part of its properties are available

[quartz kindle]

i can test that for you

[neat ingot]

how would that occur?

[grizzled raven]

yeah thanks

[quartz kindle]

@grizzled raven

this is what a message packet contains

so fetching a message will parse and resolve whatever it can from that

if the channel is cached, it will have a full channel, if guild is cached, it will have a full guild

but the message itself only comes with author, embeds, mentions and attachments

also reactions if they exist

it doesnt come with reaction details, those need to be fetched separately

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle how can i lock a command if a json value is a id?

[shrewd perch]

What this ?

@quartz kindle

[quartz kindle]

this is not the support server for invite manager

[earnest phoenix]

[quartz kindle]

this is the server for top.gg

[shrewd perch]

@quartz kindle ok next

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle can you answer my question now?

[quartz kindle]

[mossy vine]

hes saying that you are not good enough and wants the next person to help

[quartz kindle]

Lol

@earnest phoenix explain better pls

[shrewd perch]

@quartz kindle please help me

[quartz kindle]

show code example

[earnest phoenix]

:\

i dont have code

[quartz kindle]

@shrewd perch i already told you, you are in the wrong server

this server is for the website www.top.gg

we have nothing to do with invite manager

[earnest phoenix]

-wrongserver @shrewd perch

lol

wrong cmd

@quartz kindle so, i mean, lock command only for ids

[quartz kindle]

check if ids exist?

[earnest phoenix]

noo

[summer torrent]

@shrewd perch https://discord.gg/S977tw2

[earnest phoenix]

the command to work only for specified ids

[quartz kindle]

yeah

make a list of ids

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

i made

[quartz kindle]

and check if the id exists in the list

before continuing the command

[earnest phoenix]

how can i check the if id exists?

[quartz kindle]

show code

[earnest phoenix]

i dont have code

[quartz kindle]

then make a code lol

[earnest phoenix]

:\

[quartz kindle]

load the json file or whatever

into a variable

[earnest phoenix]

how

[quartz kindle]

then check if the id exists in the variable

[earnest phoenix]

how can i load the json file into a variable

you confusing me

[quartz kindle]

require or fs.readFile or fs.readFileSync

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

[quartz kindle]

this is like super basic stuff

you should google before asking here

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[zenith orchid]

Why is the CSS file not included on the page? This my code head tag between:

[hollow prawn]

is it against the ToS of DBL/top.gg to have direct communication to server owners from me thru messaging my bot?

so basically i'd be able to message a server owner and vice versa thru my bot

[crimson vapor]

I think that as long as you don't message a server owner first it is okay but a mod would know

[hollow prawn]

ye the question is generally towards a mod but dont wanna ping them bcs p sure there's rule against that xd

[slender thistle]

Not exactly the right channel for such question
It's finmost likely alright if the bot mentions who sent which message

[hollow prawn]

it would do it thru quotation with rich embeds

so it'd be like jsut message relay

[slender thistle]

eh sounds alright

Just state the message author and you're good

[finite bough]

make an @earnest phoenix array

and check

coz

it's easier on the basic level

u can use advanced stuff when u get the hang of it

[grizzled raven]

huh

ok tim

so i'll fetch channel, reactions and author properties i guess

[quartz kindle]

author is included in the message

[grizzled raven]

oh wait

you cant g

yeah nvm

[quartz kindle]

if you have nothing cached, the correct order would be to cache guild -> channel -> message -> reactions

[grizzled raven]

but

ok so isnt message.guild a get property, getting message.channel.guild?

[zenith orchid]

Why is the CSS file not included on the page? This my code head tag between:

@zenith orchid

[quartz kindle]

what does your console say?

(browser console) (f12 -> console)

actually, go to network and reload your page

@grizzled raven yeah it is

what are you trying to do?

[quartz kindle]

@zenith orchid show your style.css

[quartz kindle]

can you see it if you open mysite.com/style.css in your browser?

[zenith orchid]

Cannot GET /style.css

[quartz kindle]

are you using express?

[zenith orchid]

Yes, i solved

[earnest phoenix]

@zenith orchid you Turk

[zenith orchid]

  res.sendFile(__dirname + "/web/style.css")
});```

[earnest phoenix]

?

[quartz kindle]

you could just use static files lol

@earnest phoenix You have a worse english than me.

@quartz kindle thx

[kind flicker]

I'm looking for base Bootstrap template to edit? Do you recommend something?

[maiden crown]

Hey everyone, Iam pretty new (aka I don’t know anything tbh) to this and I just want to get a general idea how I can fix my problem:

What options would you recommend me for setting up a deadman switch bot? I need it to dm friends of mine when I don’t send it a message in a set period of time. Mentioned people will be in the same server as the bot and allow it to dm them

[true ravine]

Have you check to see if a solution exists already?

[maiden crown]

I tried to find something on the net but Iam afraid I do not know where to look and how to have good results

[true ravine]

If you're looking to make a solution yourself then, I would personally recommend finding a Discord.JS bot tutorial on youtube, opening up the Discord.JS docs and joining their help server. The function you want to achieve shouldn't be too difficult to achieve and the Discord.JS server are very helpful if you get stuck

[maiden crown]

Thanks a lot, that’s a way I can follow

[halcyon ember]

Im writing a bot in Discord.js and its giving a role when I run a command that mentions the user. Is there a way to delete all messages sent by the user i mentioned in the command?

[earnest phoenix]

kinda like the purge command?
There is but i forgot how let me look it up

[true ravine]

You would probably be using a fetchMessages function, although for specific help I would recommend joining the discord.js server

[halcyon ember]

Ok

@earnest phoenix yea basically purge but for one specific user

[earnest phoenix]

// Parse Amount
const amount = !!parseInt(message.content.split(' ')[1]) ? parseInt(message.content.split(' ')[1]) : parseInt(message.content.split(' ')[2])
if (!amount) return message.reply('Must specify an amount to delete!');
if (!amount && !user) return message.reply('Must specify a user and amount, or just an amount, of messages to purge!');
// Fetch 100 messages (will be filtered and lowered up to max amount requested)
message.channel.fetchMessages({
 limit: 100,
}).then((messages) => {
 if (user) {
 const filterBy = user ? user.id : Client.user.id;
 messages = messages.filter(m => m.author.id === filterBy).array().slice(0, amount);
 }
 message.channel.bulkDelete(messages).catch(error => console.log(error.stack));
});```

thats how this github is doing it: https://github.com/AnIdiotsGuide/discordjs-bot-guide/blob/master/examples/miscellaneous-examples.md

[halcyon ember]

o thx

[earnest phoenix]

Np

my advice would be

even if your current bots code would allow you to copy and paste that dont

id look at it and try to dissect it then make your own so itll help you in the future :)
if you copy and paste everything (like i did for one of my first apps 👀 ) when its time to fix it youll be lost

[tight plinth]

Hi. With djs v11, I'm trying to get the bot send an error embed each time "soemthing went wrong" whle executing a command. but this code https://prnt.sc/r9nt7r (here on my command handler) just doesnt work, the error is just sent in the console, o error message. Why? Is there something wrong in this code?

[true ravine]

Your then block should look like .then(() => { and you should put a }) on the line below the console.log

It's meant to enclose the code to do 'then'

Can't easily give an example as I'm on mobile

[quartz kindle]

if the console.log is working then thats not the problem

[tight plinth]

u mean like that?

[grizzled raven]

@quartz kindle when you fetch a channel, would the guild also be fetched, since the api endpoint is guilds/id/channels/id, isnt it?

[tight plinth]

https://prnt.sc/r9nv7y

unexcepted token .

[grizzled raven]

actually that might not matter but im just asking anyway

[tight plinth]

wait what the fuck

[quartz kindle]

@grizzled raven i dont think so

[grizzled raven]

oh okay

[quartz kindle]

the channel will have a guild id, but not the full guild

[tight plinth]

https://prnt.sc/r9nvmf nope, still nothing

[true ravine]

Is error like a reserved word

[tight plinth]

error is never defined in my code

except here

[true ravine]

No but in general

[quartz kindle]

but you said this console.log was working right?

[tight plinth]

else it will show an error like 'error is aleready defined'

yes

[quartz kindle]

the error was logged to your console

then the problem has nothing to do with that

add a .catch to the message

[tight plinth]

https://prnt.sc/r9nvzl

just broke a command (ping)

[quartz kindle]

well thats an unhandled promise rejection

[tight plinth]

oh

[quartz kindle]

are you awaiting your promises?

is command.execute an async function?

[tight plinth]

Tonkku

https://prnt.sc/r9nwk3

yes

[quartz kindle]

then you have to await it

otherwise the error will not be caught

try/catch can only catch sync errors, not async errors

[tight plinth]

https://prnt.sc/r9nwyy

[quartz kindle]

unless they are awaited

[tight plinth]

like that?

no, the execute

[tight plinth]

oh

yep, now it works
