test this @robust moth : ```js
const online = bot.guilds.get(message.guild.id).members.cache.filter(m => m.presence.status != 'offline').size
not every member is cached
opal copper
replace bot by your client variable
robust moth
@opal copper ok
opal copper
@tight plinth maybe it's because he's using the v12, many things changed
tight plinth
I'm on v12
hallow sandal
tight plinth
lol
quick question with discordjs v12 : how to get current shard id
and
how can I intergrate discordjs sharding manager with dbl webhook system
coz 1 shard is ok, but if I lau^nch a second one it tries to create another webhook with the same rort, which causes a bot crash
opal copper
if you already have a sharding manager, dbl.post() will post your shardCount
tight plinth
?
gentle saddle
can anyone help me
tight plinth
dbl docs says thos https://lumap.is-inside.me/xuWFGfvL.png
but client.shards in undefined for me
gentle saddle
then there is an error in your code
fleet chasm
v12 correct
tight plinth
v12 ye
opal copper
if client.shards is undefined, that meen you don't have a sharding manager
gentle saddle
anyone know how to like make a help command with reactions that changes the help when you react to a reaction
tight plinth
client.shard is defined tho
opal copper
2sec i'm verifing if it's this
fleet chasm
wolve
tight plinth
the problem is that creating another shard creates 2 times the dbl webhook and crash one of the shards
and the bot refuses to start
tight plinth
sec
in my bot.js I have this https://lumap.is-inside.me/thrnuvZj.png
it launches once per shard
and it crashes if its been aleready launched one time (aka if there is 2shards or more)
I just want something to avid the crash
opal copper
what the error is saying ?
elder vine
what now?
tight plinth
port aleready in use
(node:25159) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error [SHARDING_READY_DIED]: Shard 0's process exited before its Client became ready.
and this too
elder vine
Oh
elder vine
Well, you would need the dbl thing where the bot.on("ready") is for when all the shards has launched? or am I wrong?
elder vine
You're connecting to the port twice then?
tight plinth
it seems
elder vine
Do you have two shards running?
tight plinth
const { ShardingManager } = require('discord.js');
const manager = new ShardingManager('./bot.js', { token: require('./config.json').tokens.bot, totalShards:2 });
manager.spawn();
manager.on('shardCreate', shard => console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}`));
index.js
yes
for now I reverted to 1 to maintain my bot online
elder vine
But shouldn't you connect to dbl in the ready event when all shards have been launched?
tight plinth
I'm searching how to do that
zenith terrace
so rename my index file to bot.js, make a new index.js then write whats above
tight plinth
and do some changes to :
-get total users
-get total servers
marble juniper
you will need to eval across all shards to get the guild count or user count and other stuff
and you get an array with the responses
tight plinth
await client.shard.broadcastEval('what you want to eval')
marble juniper
(with the output of each eval)
earnest phoenix
anyone know how to use client.guilds to list guilds my bot is now, just upgraded to discord.js V12.1.1 and I regret it
tight plinth
@earnest phoenix client.guilds --> client.guilds.cache
tight plinth
same method as v11, just add .cache
earnest phoenix
oof
elder vine
better stay with v11 :P jk
marble juniper
so if I got that right your problem is after launching the shards that you get an error that a port is already in use

At both events.
elder vine
You have an event inside the event?
wet iron
thx!
tight plinth
and I found how to get current shard id : client.options.shards[0]
small plume
But yeah you have an event inside an event which isnt the well best thing cause they wont work
move your reaction event out
warm marsh
It will work. But its very in-efficient due to it adding a new listener every single time a message is received.
Which will in turn call the event multiple times.
elder vine
tight plinth
@earnest phoenix dont forget to add cooldown
idk how to use mongodb, cant hlp
but
I can suggest you a system that works even after bot restart
timestamps
with Date
it still works after th bot restart, it doesnt stop
compact tundra
he does discord.js have like a connection time out for the bot i noticed that my bot
consistently goes offline 6 hours after no one interacts with the bot
elder vine
Are you hosting on glitch or something?
Your bot might error out and decide to shutdown.
compact tundra
no it’s weird
it still connects with a database
and i can still get stats
only discord no longer gives any events
elder vine
Hmm
earnest phoenix
how do i do one line embeds?
small plume
just dont new line it?
earnest phoenix
I'm trying not to have it be multiple lines in the code
zenith terrace
small plume
Overall its better to just have multiple lines to read it better
zenith terrace

modest maple
knotty steeple
what
small plume
Functions do let you do multiple lines?
knotty steeple
how
small plume
Huh
small plume
Post your code, better for us to understand
earnest phoenix
if(cmd.conf.ownerOnly && message.author.id !== client.config.owner.id){
return this.client.channels.cache.get(this.client.config.support.unauthStuff).send(message.content)
}
cmd.conf?
earnest phoenix
yeah
earnest phoenix
I didnt want to go into every command and define the ownerID, so i just made a simple var to let me do it
earnest phoenix
I know, every time I try and do a multiple line embed it crashes my bot
.setAuthor('')
.setColor(data.config.embed.color)
.setFooter('')
.setDescription(text);
and then maybe post what error u get
earnest phoenix
when I try and start it, it pops up with "text is not defined"
small plume
post your full code?
cause nothing your showing would be crashing your bot
or show a valid error
earnest phoenix
wait, I see now, I had a problem with my actual commands

How do you mention roles in djs v12?
In v11 I just concatenated the role object with my message but now that isn't a thing
amber fractal
Should work, using .toString() should still work as well
Could however be cache issues.
true ravine
Oh okay thanks guys
earnest phoenix
how often should the bots post server count/shard count to the API?
elder vine
You can post on ready event, and guildCreate event.
Or if you have a large bot with many joins you could post every 10 or 100 or even 1000 bot joins.
amber fractal
Or you could just post on the default 30 minute interval the libs provide 
earnest phoenix
oh I was posting every hour
is 3 servers per minute probably too much for the guild ready event? lol
my bot kinda hit trending
modest maple
ah yes another corona bot
mystic violet
could anyone help me with an eval to log all the bots in my server? ive tried
console.log("started")
message.guild.members.cache.map(m => {
if(m.user.bot) console.log(`Bot | ${m.id} ${m.user.tag}`)
})```the eval doesnt even run
for some reason
amber fractal
Is your eval command setup correctly?
amber fractal
disregard that lol
amber fractal
It worked for me
mystic violet
weird
amber fractal
Well I changed some stuff for it to work with the version before cache

Anyone here who knows how to work with NodeJS on Ubuntu?
Please ping me if you reply, I have this server muted usually

@slow elk search for nvm node

That's the thing
We tried installing v13 on the system, and process.version keeps returning v10.16.3
We tried NVM, NPM and reinstalling it several times.,
knotty steeple
how exactly are u using nvm
you know you have to install the version then actually set it as the default
right
slow elk
No I didn't know that
We're trying something rn as suggestion from the discord.js community
knotty steeple
just use nvm
slow elk
We're gonna use that

@twilit rapids just a quick question, is it still required to send a physical certification application?

maybe Math.floor(Math.random() * 500) + 500?
amber fractal
~~((Math.random() * (max - min) + 1) + min) is the formula for inclusive max and min generation (~~ is just shorthand for Math.floor() but it does some bitwise stuff and floor() is safer for very large numbers, but I've never had an issue)

How would I debug a NodeJS Heap Dump? I'm trying to see what's causing a memory leak. Also please don't send me a link to some forum that explains how, they don't and only really tell you how to notice you have a memory leak, or if you don't. For example, how would I see which objects/classes use the most memory? For example GuildMembers - 53M or something like that.
cinder patio
you can do that with the chrome dev tools
split hazel
I've tried that 50x
I don't know how to read memory
All i see is some nonsense text, that's it
cinder patio
I don't think there'll be an easier way
The numbers on the right are the bytes it takes up, though I am not sure what "shallow size" and "retained size" means
Though it's for java, still probably the same meaning
earnest phoenix
How do I take the args from a message and then put it in the bots message?

Thanks for the explanation @cinder patio i'll give it another go, knowing where to somewhat look

a thing
grizzled raven
where did the place you get your repo.git url go?
prime glacier
can i install Discord.js version11
hidden bone
I'm using python 3.8 and I'm trying to access my bot's voting page, but I don't understand how you're supposed to authorize it and it keeps on giving me 401 error
help?
elder vine
Yes @prime glacier
modest maple
@hidden bone what?
grizzled raven
if you want to clone a github repo, can you only clone the master?
elder vine
npm install discord.js@(version_name)
modest maple
@grizzled raven no you can clone other branches iirc
grizzled raven
but all the urls are the same
earnest phoenix
401 means wrong token, @hidden bone
grizzled raven
clone with url for both master and a branch are the same, so wouldnt it just clone master?
hidden bone
wait but it says unauthorized for me and I have the token, but i dont know how im supposed to authorize it
wide ridge
does each shard log in to its own instance of the dblapi? I would assume so, correct me if I'm wrong please!
so in my code, there's nothing I really need to change when sharding for dblapi is there (no need to do any extra checks?)
const dbl = new DBL(topggtoken, { webhookPort: process.env.PORT, webhookAuth: process.env.WEBHOOKAUTH }, client);
@hidden bone what is your code?
grizzled raven
nvm i can just change the default branch i guess
rapid surge
how do I add the same icon to a message?
earnest phoenix
set the thumbnail url

@grizzled raven clone the repo then do git checkout branchName

i don't know what im supposed to do with the authy
slender thistle
I'd argue about using urllib with discord.py
earnest phoenix
your token is supposed to go in the Authorization header
hidden bone
then wht do i do?
slender thistle
aiohttp is asynchronous
modest maple
or shiv have u not added an ability to do that with the lib 👀

All possible functionality is there

then use the py dbl lib

@cinder patio i got it dont worry
copper cradle
I hate the name aiohttp, like, I hate pronouncing it
modest maple
why do you try to in the first place?
grizzled raven
can you not set vars in switch blocks?
pale vessel
why not
grizzled raven
like
case 12:
let hello = 3
break;
case 4:
let hello = 2
break;
apparently you cant do that?
tame shuttle
Can't you make a new scope in each case
earnest phoenix
because switch statements are different from ifs and instead they're pointers in memory the code jumps to
tame shuttle
case 12:
{
let hello = 2;
break;
}```if you want to use the same variable name define it outside of the switch statement
that could probably work too
earnest phoenix
Is there a way for me to make a command that when someone votes on my bot he alerts in a specific chat?
pale vessel
it won't be a command
zenith terrace
That be an event
earnest phoenix
How craft this event?
zenith terrace
Idk
modest maple
@earnest phoenix its best not to think about it
wide ridge
How much memory is usually required when Sharding? I'm assuming resetting the shards once they fall below a certain memory amount is a sustainable solution? I have 8GB of RAM in my vps
earnest phoenix
and im supposed to know that?
@earnest phoenix
why would i know thats how u get that
yes
earnest phoenix
yeah ok i didnt know im supposed to use that on canvas
because that's what you learn in maths when you're 9
yeah ok i didnt know im supposed to use that on canvas
@earnest phoenix .
what else would it be
Again, idk
it's a rectangle
bruh
brain exercises
why would i know the canvas on discord.js would use that
wide ridge
api documentation
earnest phoenix
canvas isn't a part of djs
and any image is a rectangle
im using d.js
idc i never used it lmao
wide ridge
earnest phoenix
btw i tried that and it didnt work
quartz kindle
well, now you know. canvas is a graphics drawing api which uses coordinates to draw on a screen
so everything you want to draw on it, must be drawn using exact coordinates
crimson vapor
Honestly, the way canvas does the drawings makes it hard to understand in my opinion
wide ridge
does dblapi automatically post server count from all shards onto your bot page on top.gg?
quartz kindle
all canvas objects, such as images and rectangles, start at the corner
crimson vapor
if you didnt take geometry or something similar, its harder to understand at least
earnest phoenix
you know what they say
quartz kindle
to center a rectangle inside another rectangle, you need to set the starting point to the canvas center, minus the size of the rectangle you're drawing
earnest phoenix
const canvas = Canvas.createCanvas(512, 512);```ctx.drawImage(avatar, 256, 256);
did i do it right? or is there anything else?
crimson vapor
well
earnest phoenix
cause it didnt work
quartz kindle
if the canvas size is 200x200 and you want to draw a 10x10 square in the center of it, you need to draw it at 95x95, so then the square will go from 95 to 105 width, and 95 to 105 height
crimson vapor
how big is the avatar?
crimson vapor
no, I need the x by y
wide ridge
lollll
quartz kindle
x = canvas width / 2 - image width / 2
y = canvas height / 2 - image height / 2
earnest phoenix
i used snekfetch to get it
the displayavatarurl
its hard to get it
how do i know the image width and height ?
crimson vapor
displayavatarurl of what?
crimson vapor
yes doesnt answer my question
crimson vapor
so a user's avatar?
earnest phoenix
yes
crimson vapor
v11 or v12?
earnest phoenix
can i just load it in google and check or it wont be good ?
v11
crimson vapor
you should be able to do that yes
quartz kindle
ctx.drawImage allows you to resize the image before drawing
by adding two more parameters
earnest phoenix
the avatar is also guaranteed to be in the size of a power of 2 so you can scale in 1:1 freely
i dont get it its so weird
quartz kindle
if you do ctx.drawImage(image,50,50,200,200)
the image will be resized to 200x200 and drawn starting from coordinate 50x50 until 250x250
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix
and its gonna be in the middle?
quartz kindle
256x256 is the center point. but images are drawn from the corner, not from the center
quartz kindle
if you put the image at 256x256 and the image size is 100x100, then the image will be drawn from point 256 to point 356
so it wont be centered
the corner of the image will be at the center
earnest phoenix
is there a way to just make it in middle, no draw
quartz kindle
thats why you have to factor in the image size
quartz kindle
i told you how
x = canvas width / 2 - image width / 2
y = canvas height / 2 - image height / 2
earnest phoenix
so if the image is 540, 540
and the canvas is 512, 512
x = 256 - 270 = -14 ?
y = 256 - 270 = -14 ?
how tho
quartz kindle
yes, that is correct
earnest phoenix
really?
quartz kindle
yes
the image is bigger than the canvas
so for it to be centered, it will start outside the canvas
earnest phoenix
so i just use -14 -14? thats it ?
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
then the image size is wrong
quartz kindle
then define your own size for it. as i told you, you can resize the image
earnest phoenix
still not centered
quartz kindle
show the result
earnest phoenix
can i send the link or the pic itself?
quartz kindle
the pic
quartz kindle
you want to center the circle?
quartz kindle
the image looks centered
but you have something else cutting it
into a circle
so the circle cropping is in the wrong position, not the image
earnest phoenix
can i send my code?
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix

you're clipping at 125x125

earnest phoenix
idk whats that tbh
quartz kindle
clipping = cutting
earnest phoenix
ok so should i remove it
quartz kindle
that will remove the circle cut and show the full image
earnest phoenix
will it show it like i wanted tho ?
quartz kindle
how do you want to show it?
earnest phoenix
in the middle
quartz kindle
with the circle?
quartz kindle
then move this to the middle
ctx.arc(125, 125, 100, 0, Math.PI * 2, true);
change 125 to center
256
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
you set the picture as 540x540
uneven egret
hello
earnest phoenix
is 1000 good ?
earnest phoenix
so whats better?
uneven egret
how are you
earnest phoenix
oh i need less
quartz kindle
if your circle size is 100, that means the width is 200, 100 on each side
so if you set your image to 200x200, it will fit the circle perfectly
earnest phoenix
i used xy again but with 250
its perfect
i just need it under the rip
ctx.drawImage(avatar, 131, 131, 250, 250);```send u the result
quartz kindle
first value is X (left/right) second value is Y (up/down)
if you increase the second value, it will go further down
you need to increase it in both the image and in the circle

sounds complicated

quartz kindle
increasing the second 131 will make the image go down. (but not the circle)
increasing the second 256 in ctx.arc will make the circle go down

yes

twin iron
knotty steeple
crimson vapor
twin iron
I know that the Arabs find it difficult to assimilate but try to make an effort @earnest phoenix
crimson vapor
alright thats enough please take this to #memes-and-media
twin iron
so make it 🥴
quartz kindle
a bot is not an easy thing to do, it requies programming
pale vessel
skills
quartz kindle
do you know any programming/coding language @earnest phoenix ?
slender wagon
and good english uwu most of the time
earnest phoenix
quartz kindle
you need to know programming to make a bot
pale vessel
cry he wouldn't understand
slender wagon
lmao yeah
earnest phoenix
lol
quartz kindle
if you dont know programming, you have to learn programming, go to a programming school
slender wagon
he can't copy and paste it
slender wagon
i'm in one uwu
pale vessel
never had one of those
quartz kindle
yes, im using primitive english
knotty steeple
<- self taught js stupid here
earnest phoenix
it's easier to translate and understand than programming course
pale vessel
same sammy
slender wagon
self taught is better sometimes
pale vessel
i feel more comfortable doing this
knotty steeple
earnest phoenix
i used codecademy to start out with some langs then just went on with selfteaching
pale vessel
that's nice
crimson vapor
I just test shit and learn by it
crude bronze
anyone here code in python?
crimson vapor
what?
slender wagon
can i downgrade discord.js by just pushing the numbers down for example from v. 12 to 11.4.1
pale vessel
yes
slender wagon
alright ty
crimson vapor
you can remove it and npm i discord.js@11.4.1
pale vessel
noo
slender wagon
oh that works too?
copper cradle
just do npm remove discord.js
and then npm i discord.js@11.4.1
copper cradle
jvm
slender wagon
ohh okay
knotty steeple
no
pale vessel
bye
crude bronze
anyone here code in discord.py and know how to make it so your bot will only post nsfw content in nsfw channels?
slender wagon
cuz on glitch i just had to change the numbers then it showed me the tab discord.js update available which means it worked in there
crimson vapor
bro anything more random and ima ping a mod
knotty steeple
@crude bronze just use an if statement
twin iron
@crude bronze you have to make a condition for check if the channel is nsfw
knotty steeple
i dont really know how python works so dont follow this exactly but you can just put an if for msg.channel.nsfw
crude bronze
i've looked and i don't know how i would use it
crude bronze
okay
earnest phoenix
So.. if your bot gets to the point of people running commands like constantly, what's the best way to update it without causing too many restarts/disruption to users using it?
knotty steeple
depends on what you have to do
crimson vapor
you have to restart at low usage and only restart when you must
knotty steeple
if its just add a command you can use a load command
to
..load commands
or whatever
earnest phoenix
keep the old instance running until the new updated instance is ready
Ohhhhhh
that's a good idea
when the new instance is ready, start accepting commands on it and kill the old instance
because I used a separate bot to make large updates on, test them with, and then when I know it's finished I upload it all to the main one
knotty steeple
only test on prod
earnest phoenix
what's "prod"
knotty steeple
production
crimson vapor
production I assume
wide ruin
my token is changing every time i refresh discordapp.com
earnest phoenix
yeah
knotty steeple
its supposed to do that
wide ruin
like why does it change?
twin iron
@wide ruin when you run it from google, a new token is generate every time
knotty steeple
the token made there is just based on time plus other stuff
twin iron
but if you do from discord app, it dont change
wide ruin
no the bot token
twin iron
wtf
wide ruin
not my auth one or whatever
knotty steeple
but the one you use isnt invalid unless u click regen
wide ruin
they all work
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix if it doesn't take too much of your time, can you quickly explain how I'd efficiently do that
twin iron
the first time i see that
knotty steeple
yea its supposed to be like that
unless u click regen they work
thats how its supposed to be
earnest phoenix
check if there are any processes running with the same name, if there are it means an old instance exists.
don't start processing anything on your new instance until everything is ready (bot receives READY event, you're connected to a database etc etc)
once it's ready you can kill that old process and start accepting commands on your new one
clear wraith
Can someone help me figure out why my bot is offline?
I am trying to get it to come back online, but it's not working.
knotty steeple
cuz u didnt put it online /s
clear wraith
Any suggestions on what i should do?
twin iron
check your mails too
clear wraith
I have its's status set to Online, but its not online
clear wraith
No
crimson vapor
you need to run the bot
clear wraith
knotty steeple
are you actually logging in the bot
knotty steeple
logging
twin iron
no on your computer
sudden geyser
@clear wraith that's just your ready event.
are you logging in with what sammy said (client.login)
knotty steeple
put it in your main file
sudden geyser
yeah does anything get logged. we need to see your mail file with the token excluded
make sure the token you're passing is your actual token
clear wraith
This???
clear wraith
let me check
sudden geyser
in your .env file, is there key for TOKEN2 and does it look like the bot token? Make sure it's not the client's secret token.
clear wraith
neon belfry
Hey what kinda hosting can I use? Any free bot hosting software/websites
sudden geyser
there are free sites, but it's recommended you get paid hosting
knotty steeple
glitch but ur not supposed to actually host stuff like bots on it
if you want a paid host check the pins
knotty steeple
define poor
neon belfry
Ill just get my friend to do it he is helping me anyways
clear wraith
mossy vine
you can get a vps good enough for a basic bot for 2.5dollars per month
clear wraith
that is what is in my env fle
sudden geyser
replace TOKEN2 for TOKEN
mossy vine
you do realize that its TOKEN and not TOKEN2
knotty steeple
then why do you use TOKEN2
clear wraith
Can I remove TOKEN2 if im using TOKEN?
knotty steeple
yes
earnest phoenix
who did you copypaste this from
knotty steeple
lul
slender wagon
why would there be a 2 after the token ;D
gritty bolt
I'm trying to make a bot that DMs lists of people when classes are going to start. I am having some issues, here is the code.
const discord = require("discord.js");
const bot = new discord.Client();
var mod = null
var embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setDescription("Class Reminder")
.setColor("#0000FF")
.addField(mod, "texthere");
let coreUserList = [
"",
"",
"",
""
]
function send() {
}
function core() {
let date = new Date()
if (date.getDay() === 1) {
setInterval(monday, 60000)
}
}
function monday() {
let date = new Date()
if (date.getHours() === 7 && date.getMinutes() === 40) {
var mod = "Mod 1"
coreUserList.forEach(send)
}
}```well first of all
the send function is empty
second of all
coreUserList.forEach(send)
gritty bolt
thats what im trying to figure out
what to put in the function
to send a message to all the the ids that will be in the coreUserList
knotty steeple
also put a function in forEach
copper cradle
@clear wraith where did you copy that code from
knotty steeple
i => send(i)
where i would be the id
and in the send function just have it use that id to send
gritty bolt
so this?
copper cradle
forEach(u => u.send())
gritty bolt
coreUserList.forEach(i => send(i))```idk what to put in my send function though still
earnest phoenix
If you don't know what to put in a function you should reevaluate your knowledge of programming 
gritty bolt
i dont think you get what i mean
grizzled raven
i dont think you get what your code means
gritty bolt
or im not communicating what i mean
grizzled raven
send isnt a function
gritty bolt
im making a function above it
grizzled raven
oh wait true
gritty bolt
like a discord embed?
knotty steeple
yes
lucid pasture
hey @gritty bolt what i would do to make it easier, is test to see if you can do a message reply that will @ everyone
knotty steeple
no im not
i just asked
but whatever
i found it
fields: [
{
"name": "thing1",
"value": "yeet"
},
{
"name": "thing2",
"value": "yeetus"
}
]
something like this works
gritty bolt
ok
@lucid pasture i can do that
i just literally have never tried using a single array before in js
lucid pasture
here let me give you a template
bot.on('message' , msg=>{
if(msg.content == 'whatever'){
msg.reply('whatever @ everyone');
}
})
gritty bolt
thats fine
gritty bolt
the point of the arrays was to DM people when they have certain classes
otherwise i would've done that
lucid pasture
yes, but i think doing the @ everyone would be easier
gritty bolt
yeah it would
but i was trying to do something i hadn't before and it seems to be like
really not working
lucid pasture
if it shows no errors but its not working, try copy pasting the enire script, make a new file, paste it there, delete the old file, and then move the new file to the folder
gritty bolt
no i just dont know how to do it
lucid pasture
it should be pretty basic, do you know anything about programming or are you just starting
gritty bolt
i havent done it in a bit
so im really rusty
on anything new
im also being really stupid today so idk
also i just realized that i never started the bot
🤦♂️
jagged patio
hi i just wanna ask is there any markdown to add images in website description?
lucid pasture
is there what
jagged patio
markdown to add images on website bot description
lucid pasture
i would ask someone who is a admin or something
gritty bolt
does anyone have any resources that could help with what i was trying to do
send a message to each id in an array?
pale vessel
resolve the id to a user and send a message to them
gritty bolt
i have all the user ids
in the array
how do I send a message to each of them at the same time
gritty bolt
how
pale vessel
are the users in the same guild?
gritty bolt
yes
pale vessel
then you can use guild member manager to find them
what version of discord.js are you on right now?
gritty bolt
the latest
gritty bolt
i still dont get how do I preform an action though for each id
when i use the guild member manager how do I do it for each id
pale vessel
you use a loop
loop through the array of ids and resolve them to a user
you can use #fetch if the member isn't cached
gritty bolt
is there a link on mdn or somewhere else that could help?
pale vessel
a member object that you can send to
gritty bolt
or find them
pale vessel
that's not how it works
gritty bolt
can I use guild.member?
pale vessel
yes
knotty steeple
cool
marble juniper
yes
pallid marsh
hey, is there a way to check if a user has a permission by the permissions int you get from the api
?
delicate zephyr
yes
sudden geyser
I'm making a message and reaction collector for my bot, and I'm wondering if it would be smarter to add a listener every time I create a new message collector, then remove it. Or, should I keep it all under one listener and add something like a monitor to check the message in the single message event?
pallid marsh
how?
pale vessel
docs
delicate zephyr
(permission_int & permission) == permission
for example
(permission_int & 8) == 8
bitfields are fun
pallid marsh
0x00000020
delicate zephyr
have fun with bit fields
pallid marsh
thats the value of lets say manage server
knotty steeple
whats it called
delicate zephyr
yea
pale vessel
displayAvatar
delicate zephyr
(permission_int & 0x20) == 0x20
pallid marsh
so how do i check if it has the perm by the int i get from discord's api
clear wraith
From my brother....
knotty steeple
actually how do i get the client user
pale vessel
read docs
knotty steeple
is it just <Client>.user
pale vessel
yes
knotty steeple
i dont even have chrome open
marble juniper
it may be already answered there
compact tundra
did discord change the bot system?
i literally have no idea how to invite this bot to an server
delicate zephyr
scroll down
you'll see the permissions thing
select a permission
and it creates a invite link
compact tundra
there isn’t a down
gritty bolt
bot.on("ready", () => {
let guild = bot.guilds.get("id")
const coreClassList = [
"",
"",
"" ,
"",
""
];
coreClassList.forEach(guild.members.fetch(i))```all the blank spaces and ids are actual ids
am i doing the last line correctly?
gritty bolt
thanks
pale vessel
for in is better or just traditional loop
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
What is databass name
knotty steeple
vs js for(const thing in something) {}
@pale vessel
what code are u planning to copy paste @earnest phoenix
pale vessel
traditional = for (let i = 0...
earnest phoenix
Python
pale vessel
it's faster
knotty steeple
probably just a user without nitro
pale vessel
funny how it could use custom emojis
pale vessel
hastebin
earnest phoenix
Free api uploads?
earnest phoenix
I need an api tho
that my bot can get to
Can you tell me what I am updating file name
@knotty steeple
knotty steeple
no i cant
earnest phoenix
Ok
earnest phoenix
Kk
I hate it to make an SQL Database for my Bot
and i hate peanut butter but it still exists
