edgy heron
but in this server. i want cor! prefix to work
pale vessel
he's not ready for it yet
edgy heron
oh thanls
tired nimbus
i dont know why
tired nimbus
quick.db seems to be faster than better-sqlite3 with no wrapper
edgy heron
@Icero this is nicer
let prefix = ".";
if (message.guild.id === "DBLID") prefix = "cor!";
modest maple
postgres is better overall if you can set it up
spare goblet
Use a non file based db 
quartz kindle
quick.db is not faster than sqlite
spare goblet
quick db uses better sqlite 3 no
So technically it should be the same
Or a bit slower
tired nimbus
it might be the settings
modest maple
anything that is built of another thing will not be faster than the thing its built off
spare goblet
Yeah
modest maple
unless u do some crazy mumbo jumbo and commit tax faud
quartz kindle
yup
tired nimbus
I think its because I didn't optimize bettersqlite3 for the fastest use
modest maple
fastest
edgy heron
@pale vessel is this fine now? sorry for ping
spare goblet
Better sqlite 3 has different use optimisation?
modest maple
idek
spare goblet
Never seen it
modest maple
i would put my own code
tired nimbus
right now its making 3 files
modest maple
farrrrrrrrr slower before blaming the DB
like my sqlite db atm thats what 1.4 Million rows on one table rn ignoring the other, takes a fraction of a ms
pale vessel
@edgy heron http://tryitands.ee
quartz kindle
sqlite3 has extensive customization and options for various use cases, for example if you prioritize write-intensive usage or read-intensive usage, large data or small data, redundancy/atomicity or performance
golden condor
I have been trying to set my bot to dnd for ages and it won't work
on discord.js
edgy heron
how can i try though
golden condor
No
Just doesn't work
client.user.setPresence({ activity: { name: c!help | ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers | ${value.toLocaleString()} users }, status: 'dnd' })
quartz kindle
discord status is wonky, sometimes it simply doesnt work and then it randomly works again
idk
edgy heron
@pale vessel sad
golden condor
I have tried many times before
spare goblet
Odd
pale vessel
did you try it on a dm?
edgy heron
wdym
actually i cant try it
coz i cant try the commands in this server
the bot has common prefix role
๐
both prefix are working
but we need only cor! working here
edgy heron
var prefix ="cor!";
}else{
var prefix ="c!"```what should i do xD
finite bough
let
spare goblet
You could make it way simpler with let
let prefix = ".";
if(guild.id === "26435355"){
prefix= "cor!"
}
Shorter code
slender thistle
"it works" != "It's good"
spare goblet
crimson vapor
let is better Imo
spare goblet
var is bad practive
edgy heron
guild isnt defined
finite bough
let and var have their differences
edgy heron
i am new
spare goblet
@edgy heron It's cuz you're getting DMs.
spare goblet
I-
Ig they didn't put a guild object in
pale vessel
try ```js
let prefix = ".";
if (message.guild && message.guild.id == "264445053596991498") prefix = "cor!";
languid dragon
quartz kindle
also, you probably want to store your prefixes in a variable outside the message event lol
languid dragon
pretty sure shitposting belongs in #memes-and-media :)
finite bough
defining it in every command
edgy heron
i think i am adding the code in wrong place
finite bough
is a very bad practice
edgy heron
bot.on("message", async message => {
const prefixes = JSON.parse(process.env.PREFIXES);
let chosenPrefix;
let prefix = ".";
if (message.guild && message.guild.id == "697473598033756241") prefix = "cor!";
for (const prefix of prefixes) {
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix)) {
chosenPrefix = prefix;
break;
}```
languid dragon
smh im not minimodding nerd
quartz kindle
@edgy heron youre overcomplicating something very simple
edgy heron
๐
spare goblet
Ugh
snow urchin
message.channel.send({embed: {description: "Fetching statistics...", color: "#36393F"}}).then(msg => {
invalid form body
Uhh idk whatyoire doing
languid dragon
@woven sundial don't take rules/guidelines out of context
quartz kindle
@edgy heron how many prefixes do you have?
edgy heron
2
languid dragon
that has nothing to do with starting actual bot development, the rule is defined so people dont think adding a bot to DBL is how you create a bot
quartz kindle
and you use both prefixes for all servers?
spare goblet
@woven sundial. Some people create a bot on top.gg and input their code in the description
edgy heron
xD
pale vessel
and markdown examples
spare goblet
And think it'll host
Spoiler: it won't host. :')
languid dragon
also note that line you screenshotted relates to the note right above it, which essentially provides the original context for the statement as a whole
crimson vapor
is this true?
pale vessel
btw is luca using d.js or custom?
languid dragon
well it's not, don't discourage new people asking for development help by spreading misinformation on the guidelines in #502193464054644737
spare goblet
iirc djs :') but ion remember
edgy heron
stimky, me?
languid dragon
not you
edgy heron
oh
quartz kindle
const prefixes = JSON.parse(...) // parse your prefixes once and save them, instead of parsing them on every single message
bot.on("message", async message => {
let px = message.guild && message.guild.id === "id" ? ["cor!"] : prefixes;
let currentPrefix = px.find(t => message.content.startsWith(t));
if(currentPrefix) {
// do your code
}
})```

or module.exports

So i have a purge command but how can i make it delete my message first then delete the amount of messages that was mentioned in front of it?
Like: _purge 1
Output: My message gets deleted and a message above that
valid frigate
i'm trying to work with json web tokens to authenticate requests on my api, and i'm thinking about how to handle passwords. so basically i have a jwt with a payload with the user's username, and i'm thinking about adding a the user's password hash to the payload so if their password changes, the server can also check the hash and compare to see if they are the same or not and determine the validity of the token
basically is it a good idea to do this? storing a password hash in plaintext theoretically
but on the client side
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix delete the message first, then use purge
earnest phoenix
Lmao
quartz kindle
or do purge +1 lol
earnest phoenix
Like seriously how is it possible?
When i even try to like do
{args[0] + 1} it doesn't return as a number...
It's just isNaN
quartz kindle
because args is a string
"1" + 1 = "11"
and args[0] is possibly not the correct arg
earnest phoenix
Hmm what's the correct one then?
quartz kindle
idk whats your code?
quartz kindle
@valid frigate not familiar with jwts but passwords, hashed or not, shouldnt be stored on the client side, instead you should probably exchange the password for a token, and store that on client side. if im understanding the question correctly
valid frigate
yes thats what i mean
earnest phoenix
Idk
marble juniper
function cooldown(message, client) {
const time = 5000
function delay() {
setTimeout(() => {
commandCooldown.delete(message.author.id);
message.author.send(`You can now use daily again! `+client.emoji.ring)
}, time);
}
if(commandCooldown.has(message.author.id)) {
const minute = 60000
const hour = minute * 24
message.channel.send(`you need to wait **${Math.round((commandCooldown.get(message.author.id) - Date.now)/minute)} minutes** and **${Math.round((commandCooldown.get(message.author.id) - Date.now)/hour)} hours** untill you can use daily again`)
}
else {
// other stuff happening which I did not show and is not relevant
commandCooldown.set(message.author.id, new Date())
delay()
}
}
My problem is that when I am trying to get the minutes and hours which are left for the cooldown to expire I get NaN
finite bough
or u can do message.deleate() then or await prune
valid frigate
its just the concern over invalidating tokens because when a user changes their password, the token is still valid since it only carries a username
earnest phoenix
Hmm lemme try deleting the message with that then doing it...
valid frigate
i was thinking like maybe adding the token to a redis db and blacklisting it until the token expires
quartz kindle
yes, a password change doesnt necessarily mean the token is reset, i've seen a few services that dont bother invalidating the token when you change your password
but if you want to, you can always manually invalidate the token on password change
valid frigate
i was reading about how others went about invalidating tokens
anyway thanks for the clarification mate, i think i know where to go from here
quartz kindle
@marble juniper new Date() creates a date object, which when stringified, returns a date string
you want Date.now() instead, which creates a timestamp
marble juniper
oh ok
earnest phoenix
@crimson vapor is this the way you talking about?
earnest phoenix
Hmm
crimson vapor
thats not gonna work and you are abusing api
message.delete()
then
message.channel.bulkDelete()
earnest phoenix
Wait... Do i have to put a .then after the message.delete()? @crimson vapor
crimson vapor
no
quartz kindle
yes
or await it
you dont need to fetch the messages before bulkDeleting
bulkDelete also takes a number
earnest phoenix
Wait when i try to put a .then() function after message.delete() it says message.delete().then()
Is not a function..
earnest phoenix
Full code of purge command? @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix
It's literally up there... Scroll up
crimson vapor
if(isNaN(args[0])) return; //check if its a number
if(args > 100 || args < 2) return; //make sure its correct value, no point going lower than 2 and higher than 100 will not work
await message.delete(); //delete the message
await message.channel.bulkDelete(args[0]); //clear the amount you want
return; //end the command```Hmm lemme try that real quick...
quartz kindle
await message.delete()
await message.channel.bulkDelete()
finite bough
inside an async function
crimson vapor
yes
earnest phoenix
Thx it worked as
await message.channel.bulkDelete(args[0]);```@finite bough also ik that lmao
crimson vapor

lean linden
ow to edit a picture via node js script?
lyric mountain
verified where?
on dbl or on discord?
having a genuine bot I guess
there're lots of data they request u in the certification form
like what data you collect, why you collect, where you store, is your server safe, etc
they'll PM you when the time comes
read the above comment
yep
not the, but an
you can use any card that can be used to identify yourself
uneven egret
hi
true ravine
I know it varies based on your bot, but does anyone else rely very heavily on databases to make their bots work?
lyric mountain
define "very heavily"
true ravine
Say you want to add a new feature, you immediately need to create a new table because you don't really have any other suitable way to make the feature work
lyric mountain
if you need to persist something you gotta make a new table
best practice is to have one table for each subject
avoiding to make a misc table
earnest phoenix
disgostang
true ravine
Yeah I do have a misc table but I don't think it's used anymore
earnest phoenix
disSgOSTANG
true ravine
No u
With this discord verification thing, if a user wanted me to clear their data but they were in my blacklist table does that that mean I'd have to subsequently unblacklist them or would I be allowed to leave their id in that table
digital ibex
hi, how would i create a prefix command with mongoose?
earnest phoenix
you probably have the incorrect infrastructue for your database - the most reliable way is to have a table of guilds and then adding columns to that table based on what you need
grizzled raven
if one shard goes down (can a shard go down?) in discord.js v12's internal sharding, what happens?
lyric mountain
it goes down
grizzled raven
no
digital ibex
only one shard goes down
tired nimbus
/opt/watcher/app-types/node/start.sh: line 9: wait_for: No record of process 24395
now it wont reload
quartz kindle
shards always try to reconnect automatically
valid frigate
oh right reconnect
is there ever a scenario where it can't reconnect and just permanently dies while the process is running
digital ibex
yeah, but you'll have to find out why
earnest phoenix
isnt this a contradiction? i don't get how i am getting this error
digital ibex
i believe so
quartz kindle
its not a contradiction
grizzled raven
no its because there are no attachments
quartz kindle
because trying to get a property of undefined will error out before it ever attempts to do the comparison
earnest phoenix
how else do i check if a message contains an attachment in discord.js?
grizzled raven
is heap size the amount of ram i am able to use?
because my host said i have 2gb of ram lol
which would explain why my bot was logging due to heap used
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix first check if an attachment exists, then get its url
you can use a little trick for that
grizzled raven
i dont understand but i know its an image that says i am wrong 
quartz kindle
(message.attachments.first() || {}).url
@grizzled raven heap is a section of ram dedicated to storing objects
it will be dynamically resized based on its needs
grizzled raven
huh
quartz kindle
resident set (rss) is the total ram used by the process
grizzled raven
how do you get the total ram available
quartz kindle
process.memoryUsage().rss
grizzled raven
star eval silent message.author.send(process.memoryUsage().rss / (1024**3))
that was ~1.3
quartz kindle
so 1.3 gb?
earnest phoenix
seems a bit hacky but none of the methods i found intuitive has worked so far
grizzled raven
oh
grizzled raven
oh okay its 2gb
but
uh
if rss passes
nah im confused i cant phrase this question
earnest phoenix
just tried message.attachments.size !== 0 that seems to work, not sure if your way checks for more @quartz kindle
grizzled raven
maybe i was calculating my ram wrong
zerp thats fine
tims way just makes it return undefined if there are no attachements, or the url if there are
quartz kindle
if rss gets to 2gb it will crash the process due to out of memory
grizzled raven
hm
well i've been measuring heapused, which isnt rss obv 
, and it hasnt ever really gotten above 1.3gb
charred jetty
"6123459" here how can i make it 6,123,459 ?
amber fractal
in what lang
charred jetty
Js
amber fractal
new Intl.NumberFormat('en').format(num) should work
quartz kindle
or this ^ if your region is different
charred jetty
Ok..lemme try in testing
amber fractal
or if you need to format multiple times const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('en') then using formatter.format(num) should do the trick
charred jetty
Ohk
grizzled raven
if you really wanted to be uncool like me, you could do ```js
let num = 2038 // whatever number
let s = num.toString().substring(0, 2) + "k"
copper cradle
lmao
quartz kindle
lmao
turbid bough
lmao
grizzled raven
or if you wanted to be extra uncool this might not work for some regions lol you could do this
let num = 728290
num.toLocaleString().split(/\.|,/)[0] + "k"
``` collection('users').find({ skillsQueue: { $exists: true, $ne: [] } })
``` for anyone good with mongodb my logic is this would pull all mongo entries with non empty skillsQueue arrays right?
grizzled raven
what
turbid bough
nvm thats probably how it works
grizzled raven
Eval
Executed in 12.910363ms.
Input
let num = 728290
num.toLocaleString().split(/.|,/)[0] + "k"
Output
'728k'
turbid bough
whats your just "toLocaleString()" output?
slim flame
grizzled raven
toLocaleString for me outputs 000,000,000,000...
turbid bough
uuh
grizzled raven
nnn,nnn
turbid bough
num.toLocateString does that??
grizzled raven
well i see yours is spaces
turbid bough
oh yeah its in spaces
red hollow
is this possible to convert 2000 to 2K trough toLocaleString tho?
grizzled raven
forgot some countries output spaces
turbid bough
why do you need to substring that message flavex?
Math.floor(2038/1000) + "k"
uuh and btw, toLocaleString seems so stupid to use
seems like some counties could be using , instead of .
and exchange between them so it looks like . is ,
so like if you dont floor your number, you would get like 10.412,12 and it would be 10k or something
or im dumb
nvm, if you were using [0] then it would work
and if it only used . and ,
turbid bough
memory exception?
quartz kindle
the heap size will be increased
turbid bough
oh right this isnt java
grizzled raven
huh
wait this deosnt make sense
my process is using 1.2gb of ram but thw bot is offline lol
and why is the bot offline
lime jewel
Did anyone here used Discord.js ans sharding yet?
quartz kindle
many people
pine bear
So I created a simple event handler but for some reason the command is unresponsive,
index.js
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
client.aliases = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands/').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of commandFiles){
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command)
}
client.on("message", message => {
let args = message.content.substring(prefix.length).split(" ")
switch (args[0]) {
case 'adora':
client.commands.get('adora')
break;
};
});
adora.js
module.exports = {
name: 'adora',
description: 'says Catra!',
execute(message, args){
message.channel.send("Catra!");
}
}
``` is there something wrong, because i don't know because nothing shows on the console logs.yeah i dont see any console.log either
pine bear
no I mean like no errors show
lime jewel
Hab someone help me?
I get this Error:

Using this code:
turbid bough
process.send is not a function
lime jewel
Yes but I dont use process.send ...
turbid bough
dunno then
ive never used it, is your Main.js file really named Main.js?
just making sure
quartz kindle
@pine bear two things
- putting a function in an object should be done like this:
execute: (args) => {}orexecute: function(args) {}and notexecute(args) {}as this one is for class methods
- you get the command but never execute it. should be
commands.get(name).execute(args)
pine bear
oh ok.
quartz kindle
and 3. you dont need a switch case
because you dont need to check for the name of every single command
you can simply check if the command exists in client.commands: if(client.commands.has(args[0])) { client.commands.get(args[0]).execute() }
@lime jewel which discord.js version?
twilit rapids
Outdated NodeJS version maybe 
quartz kindle
your Main.js might have a problem thats preventing it to load
and yeah, whats your node.js version?
lime jewel
quartz kindle
show your main.js code
sudden geyser
- putting a function in an object should be done like this: execute: (args) => {} or execute: function(args) {} and not execute(args) {} as this one is for class methods
execute(args) {}is actually fine according to JS.
lime jewel
Too long For Discord
sudden geyser
Upload it somewhere
pine bear
๐คทโโ๏ธ
lime jewel
pine bear
Oh ok.
lime jewel
found something in Main? @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
you are not using express.js anywhere, so you should remove it
you have an interval without a timer
you have duplicated double loops
lime jewel
I used Express before I startet Coding in sharding
Ok but anything Throwing the Error?
pine bear
uhh, like 2 things,
quartz kindle
@lime jewel a lot of bad ideas but nothing causing the error specifically, might be another file. try disabling some stuff like chatbot api and see if it works
lime jewel
Ok i'll try it
pine bear
quartz kindle
what the fuck
west raptor
i cant even
quartz kindle
pine bear
quartz kindle
(and dont you dare remove client)
pine bear
I ain't that dumb!
quartz kindle
good
pine bear
ok maybe, sometimes.
quartz kindle
lmao
lime jewel
I disabled ChatBot API but there is the Error against
lime jewel
Ok
pine bear
wth
west raptor
ok anyways, I want to use embeds for information that's obtained from the message but the issue is like.. it can be like 100 in one messages if someone wanted to abuse it, ie: omg im cringe weeb bro fuckin watch {sowrd atr oline} it amazing!! and make sure to read <deomn slyer> it so good bro
and of course memes aside it would gather info on the shit inbetween {} and <> and that can be up to how much discord messages can handle. So the issue is I would use multiple embeds in one message but that's not possible for bots, sending them individually would be troubelsome. Not really sure what to do in this case
plain message is hard as fuck to format
quartz kindle
@pine bear are you even trying?
pine bear
yes.
quartz kindle
get doesnt exist
quartz kindle
i told you to remove switch, not replace it
remove the block completely
and get the command directly from client.commands by using args[0]
client.commands.get(args[0])
then just call execute on it
and give the execute whatever arguments your execute needs
your execute needs message and args, so your command should call .execute(message,args)
but first you need to check if the commands exist
so you can put the command in a variable
let command = client.commands.get(args[0])
then check if(command)
and if there is a command, do command.execute(message.args)
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle calm down a little...
Don't get angry...
You're literally Overloading your brain...
Lmao
quartz kindle
when i go into teacher mode i cant stop lmao
pine bear
lmao
hot moat
oof
pine bear
I still don't, bruh.
quartz kindle
what now...
pine bear
I don't think I followed it correctly,
finite bough
if we are talking about changing channel names how often can they be changes without abusing discord api
quartz kindle
pine bear
*why this?*
quartz kindle
message.args = get args from inside message
message, args = get message and then get args
pine bear
faceplalms, why am I like this, I literally feel that much os a dummy.
finite bough
tim can u answer that^
quartz kindle
you feel dumb because you dont know the language, you should learn the language first
for example, dots . are always used to get stuff from inside other stuff
and commas , are always used to separate things
pine bear
I kinda know that, it's just that I never got back into JavaScript in over 2 weeks.
pine bear
yes and that, and I've been at this for over 2 says, no cap.
quartz kindle
but repeating mistakes is the path to learning, the more mistakes you repeat, the less often you will repeat them again because the harder they will get stuck in your brain
pine bear
yes,
quartz kindle
just a lot of those mistakes can be easily fixed by going through the basics of the language again
pine bear
that and continuously misspelling length as lenth
quartz kindle
i misspell it as lenght
turbid bough
has anyone here dealt with appveyor and visual studio building?
pine bear
@quartz kindle, ok so this is not that much, but I think there is some problems with it.
heavy marsh
@quartz kindle Tim sorry if i annoyed you about the broadcastEval()
let embed = new discord.MessageEmbed();
if (color) embed.setColor(color.hexColor);
embed.addField("Premium Added", `${UserID.tag} \`${UserID.id}\``);
let premiumadd = new discord.MessageEmbed();
premiumadd.setTitle('Premium Added');
premiumadd.setDescription(
`**User ID:** ${UserID.id}\n**User Name:** ${UserID.tag}\n**User Created:** \`${bot.users.cache.get(UserID.id).createdAt.toUTCString().substr(0, 16)}\``
);
premiumadd.setThumbnail(UserID.displayAvatarURL({dynamic:true}));
premiumadd.setTimestamp();
premiumadd.setColor('#2ACC76');
premiumadd.setFooter(`Command Run By: ${message.author.tag}`);
bot.shard.broadcastEval(`
const channel = this.channels.cache.get('679079839466127390');
if (channel) {
channel.send('${JSON.stringify(premiumadd)}');
true;
} else {
false;
} `) .then(sentArray => {
if (!sentArray.includes(true)) {
return message.reply('I could not find such a channel!');
}
return message.channel.send(embed);
});
This worked successfully
It it possible to get it as an embed?
quartz kindle
.send({embed:${JSON.stringify(...)}})
pine bear
No
quartz kindle
@pine bear i told you to remove that extra client.commands.get(args[0]) since you already have it. no need for duplicate code
other than that it should work
@royal portal return from where?
royal portal
message
quartz kindle
if the user is banned from the same guild where the message is coming from, the user cant be banned, else he wouldnt be able to send the message there
queen needle
Is it possible to store data in discord.js without a database
royal portal
well
quartz kindle
is your code still the same as yesterday?
queen needle
i know you can use json files but is that better then trying to set up the database
royal portal
i have an unban command and if you unban someone then it sends a thing to a logs channel saying who unbanned the user and the reason but you can unban the user multiple times and it sends the embed even though the user is already unbanned
hot moat
e I was editing my main script and it refused to save the file (i host it on a vps), i checked the file on the vps and it was blank
royal portal
not sure how to make it so if the user is already unbanned then dont send embed and dont try to unban user
quartz kindle
is your code still the same as yesterday?
pine bear
How does it still not work? that is so strange.
royal portal
yes
quartz kindle
does your console log any error when you unban someone who is not banned?
pine bear
oh, that was about the command handler.
quartz kindle
@queen needle without any external saving form, any data saved inside the process, in variables objects arrays etc.. will be lost when the process restarts/crashes
@royal portal then you need to handle the error correctly
i believe i told you yesterday that you cant use try/catch like that
queen needle
so if i do json files i lose the data when i restart my bot
quartz kindle
try {
await ....members.unban()
....send("done")
} catch(e) {
....send("not banned")
}
or
....members.unban().then(() => {
....send("done")
}).catch(() => {
....send("not banned")
})```@royal portal
@queen needle no, json files are stored in files, not in the process, so they are not lost

if we are talking about changing channel names how often can they be changes without abusing discord api
quartz kindle
idk the exact limit, but i wouldnt change them more than once a minute
red hollow
ok so im so bad in math so im asking
how can i get % in js?
like what % is 1 of 10 to get output 10%
quartz kindle
n * 100 / %
red hollow
ty
quartz kindle
actually better to do % = % * N / 100
actually thats for getting the % value, not the % %
now im confused lmao
i need sleep
pine bear
this would be right?
client.on("message", message => {
let args = message.content.substring(prefix.length).split(" ");
let command = client.commands.get(args[0])
if(command)command.execute(message, args)
/* get(args[0]) => {
client.commands.get(adora).execute(args);
}; */
});
should work
pine bear
with this?
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
client.aliases = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands/').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of commandFiles){
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command)
}
put console.log(client.commands) somewhere in your code (after the command loader)
and show what comes up in your console
pine bear
finite bough
@quartz kindle and if I put it inside a member add thingy and suppose 5 people joined in 1 min surprisingly so its api abuse?
quartz kindle
also, that code allows all prefixes if they have the same length
pine bear
c!, but it's a "ping" command
quartz kindle
so your command should work if you do c!adora
pine bear
quartz kindle
but it will also work if you do 12adora or abadora or $%adora
your code is checking for any 2-letter prefix
quartz kindle
add this if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return
before the let args = line
that will make it only work with !c prefix instead of any 2-letter prefix
@finite bough i suppose thats fine
finite bough
oki
pine bear
how to make it work without the prefix?
quartz kindle
remove the line i told you to add, and remove the .substring() part from args
pine bear
ok now it works.

My bot just went offline randomly and I have no output on my console that indicates why it went down. I just recently started using shardingManager, could it be that my shards somehow went down and didn't re-spawn? I have 2 shards atm.
I got my bot back online by simply restarting, but I would like to know if there's any ways to prevent this from happening?

toMute.addRole(role); says its not an function
@earnest phoenix what's toMute as defined as?

@earnest phoenix also if it doesn't work...
Try changing the:

Hi, can someone help me with discord.py, I don't know this language very well, I'm at the beginning
How can I change a user's nickname by adding something else (eg "Test") to his current nickname?
For example in my case: Simo >> Simo Test
golden condor
@slender thistle is there no .displayName ?
slender thistle
member.display_name
golden condor
That would work no?
slender thistle
Would but it might not be what they need
golden condor
So it's their nick / their name
Seems like it could work but idk
His status says js dev
slender thistle
member.edit :p
balmy knoll
What is the string to insert that allows me to change his nickname
slender thistle
member being ctx.author I would assume
tight plinth
I'll never understand discord.py
balmy knoll
In this case, I want to add after his nick content
slender thistle
User:
!powerlevel 5
Bot:
changes nickname from User to User 5
Is that what you want?
balmy knoll
Yes
It is the one in summary with a bit of formatting or
User:
!powerlevel 5
Bot:
changes nickname from User to User [โก 5]
Thanks shivaco for your help
slender thistle
I'd suggest creating a dict somewhere where key is the level and value is the string you want to add to their nick
balmy knoll
I repeat is my first code that I make in discord.py, I don't know how
slender thistle
dictionaries are basic Python 
levels = {'1': '[:hammer: 1]',
'2': '[:hammer: 2]'}
async def powerlevel:
await ctx.author.edit(nick=ctx.author.display_name + levels[content])``` a bit of pseudocode for youI try

const msg = await member.send(solvecaptchaembed, {
files: [{```tried to send an embed but it sent [object object]
quartz kindle
the send function actually looks like this: .send(message) or .send(options) or .send(message,options)
embed is part of options
so if you put .send(a,b) embed should go in b, and a will become ONLY for text messages
if you do .send(options) embed should go inside options, together with all other options
so your send should look like this .send({embed:captchaembed,files:[...]})
earnest phoenix
i used it but the embed is being sent after the file
quartz kindle
theres nothing you can do about that, discord decides the order
if you want the embed first, you needs to send 2 messages
earnest phoenix
can i use .then or somthing
earnest phoenix
I tried and it worked
const msg = await member.send(solvecaptchaembed).then (await member.send({

}));```First the captchaembed, then the captcha itself
Thanks Tim!
quartz kindle
like i said
await send(embed)
await send(files)
the await does the same thing as the .then() at the end
quartz kindle
its redundant
its like doing Number(1) when 1 is already a number
or "abc".toString()
quartz kindle
await member.send(solvecaptchaembed)
await member.send({

My bot has a training programme for recruiting staff so I have to send text one paragraph after another (await reactions inbetween) although for some users it doesn't send them all the text and for some it does
Any ideas what could be causing that?

I assume those are dm messages? @true ravine
true ravine
Yeah they are
marble juniper
maybe the users have dms disabled
true ravine
But it will send maybe the first three and then not the rest
Only for some users
Other users get everything fine
marble juniper
then idk
quartz kindle
show code?
true ravine
I've even put it in a try catch and even when it doesn't show all the text the catch is never fired
(it's in a while loop to try and force it to work)
(and I know the code is weird)
queen needle
is it possible to put serprate the data in my json file by lines
{"id":{"coins":"10"}
thats how the data works it writes next to each other is there a way i can make them on a new line
coins: coins[message.author.id].coins + coinAmt
and thats what enters it
quartz kindle
@true ravine what is steps? i assume i is 0 and the rest are empty arrays?
quartz kindle
you should check for the existance of a step before attempting to send them
slender thistle
true ravine
The steps are defined right above that so they should always exist Tim ^
quartz kindle
@queen needle you can pretty print an object in js using JSON.stringify
slender thistle
Why did I assume you were using Python...
queen needle
client.on("message", (message) => {
if (!coins[message.author.id]) {
coins[message.author.id] = {
coins: 0,
};
}
let coinAmt = Math.floor(Math.random() * 15) + 1;
let baseAmt = Math.floor(Math.random() * 15) + 1;
if (coinAmt === baseAmt) {
coins[message.author.id] = {
coins: coins[message.author.id].coins + coinAmt
};
fs.appendFile("./coins.json", JSON.stringify(coins), (err) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
});
}
});```thats my code i tried like + \n but it didnt work
queen needle
my data doesnt enter in between the {}
quartz kindle
if you want to add c it will look like this js { "a":10, "b":20, "c":30 }
however, if you use append file
it ends like this js { "a":10, "b":20 } { "c":30 }
which is invalid json
and will destroy your data
earnest phoenix
i can check this error code to see if it is true then what would happen? UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Not found
queen needle
{
{
}```if i do that my data enters after the bracket
{
}(then my data shows uo here)```but my data shows up like that normally
quartz kindle
because the file becomes invalid and will give you an error whenever you try to read it
you cannot use appendfile and json files, it simply doesnt work
queen needle
yeah
quartz kindle
they are not compatible
earnest phoenix
How do i get client.guilds.size on discord.js v12?
quartz kindle
client.guilds.cache.size
queen needle
but is it possible to get my data to show up in the right place and be on different lines
{
}{"id1":{"coins":"10"},{"id2":{"coins":"18"}```thars what it looks like in my json file rn
quartz kindle
not with appendfile
quartz kindle
queen needle
yeah would i use write
quartz kindle
the json structure is very strict, the only way to update a json file is like this
- read the ENTIRE file
- make the changes in memory
- save the ENTIRE file
which is why json is very bad for saving dynamic data, or things that get updated often
earnest phoenix
I can check this error code? if tag error code which I want to check UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Not found
quartz kindle
what code?
earnest phoenix
osuApi.getUser({ u: args[0] }).then(user => {

I have a daily command and a working cooldown but I want to be able to tell the user the remaining time in minutes seconds and hours
and idk how to do that
const time = 60000
function delay() {
setTimeout(() => {
commandCooldown.delete(message.author.id);
message.author.send(`You can now use daily again! `+client.emoji.ring)
}, time);

if(commandCooldown.has(message.author.id)) {
const minute = 60000 * 8
const hour = minute * 24
message.channel.send(`you need to wait **${Math.round((commandCooldown.get(message.author.id) - Date.now())/minute)} minutes** and **${Math.round((commandCooldown.get(message.author.id) - Date.now())/hour)} hours** untill you can use daily again`)
}
this is what I have rn
but it doesn't work
queen needle
i would suggest looking into ms
so for my mute command i have this javascript `@${person.user.tag} has now been muted for ${ms(ms(time))}
and it tells them how long they are muted for using ms
quartz kindle
@marble juniper any reason for 60000 * 8?
quartz kindle
does commandCooldown.get() return the time remaining in milliseconds?
marble juniper
when I set the cooldown for the user I do this
commandCooldown.set(message.author.id, Date.now())
ah ok
marble juniper
but rn I just get 0
0 minutes
even though the cooldown is at 2 minutes
so technically it should show me 1
quartz kindle
how big is the cooldown?
quartz kindle
let remaining = commandCooldown.get(id) + time - Date.now();
let seconds = remaining / 1000;
let minutes = seconds / 60;
yeah oke
