coding on mobile is so bad idea
#development
summer torrent
languid heart
Why?
earnest phoenix
good idea for me because my computer isnt work properly
summer torrent
small screen and keyboard
earnest phoenix
not matter for me
mossy vine
shit keyboard and no access to proper developer tools which will bite you in the ass as a beginner
earnest phoenix
nope
languid heart
His name is termux
mossy vine
@languid heart refer to this message https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/703691789890093086
earnest phoenix
yes it beats süper computer
mossy vine
@languid heart refer to this message https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/703691789890093086
mossy vine
you dont seem to understand it tho
earnest phoenix
didnt i need to help
languid heart
please
- dont code on mobile
- learn the language you want to use
- LEARN THE BASICS OF HOW BOTS WORK
@mossy vine i read this
Ik computer is better but mobile works
earnest phoenix
didnt i need to help can you stop saying taht
languid heart
English
summer torrent
where is your bot's files?
earnest phoenix
what proggaimg lang
languid heart
I can send u my code on termux
mossy vine
THEY LITERALLY DONT KNOW WHAT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE THEY WANT TO USE AND YALL ARE ASKING FOR GH AND FILES LMAOOO
earnest phoenix
can you stop @mossy vine
mossy vine
sorry for trying to give actual helpful advice 
earnest phoenix
STOP @mossy vine pls
mossy vine
and starting with bot development on a phone with an ssh app is not the way to start
earnest phoenix
at least do research before starting kek
summer torrent
calm down
languid heart
Ok can u help me i copy the start my bot on mybot guide and put my token and my commands
And it works
But i dont know how to put mod commands
summer torrent
mossy vine
you put mod commands by learning the fucking language and library you are using
languid heart
@woven sundial i cant i dont have any
earnest phoenix
oof didnt i need to help
languid heart
For me works only say me how
earnest phoenix
what is your bots proggaming lang
mossy vine
oh god this is only getting worse
summer torrent
@languid heart which language do you use for coding
mossy vine
agreed but not for fucking phone development
mossy vine
does anyone here actually want to give helpful advice 🙃
if by mobile friendly you mean fucked up ui yes
earnest phoenix
in here everyone and my keyboard hettin worse
languid heart
My lang is english
summer torrent
I mean programming language
earnest phoenix
@languid heart what programming language
i am asking proggramin lang not your lang
mossy vine
im not saying that, im saying to take a big fucking step back and learn the basics
summer torrent
Javascript, Python etc.
earnest phoenix
yes
languid heart
Say language not lang and is english
oak imp
JavaScript, just saying 😏
mossy vine
THEY DONT KNOWW HAT A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE IS HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ASK
earnest phoenix
^
summer torrent
@mossy vine calm down
languid heart
Ok i am new at this so help me
earnest phoenix
are you using dbscript
languid heart
Termux with node
mossy vine
ok here is help
take a huge step back
learn programming
learn a language
PROPERLY
then make a bot
and DONT COPY PASTE CODE, you wont learn anything from it
earnest phoenix
can you send photo of your code
languid heart
Ok
modest maple
outdated
mossy vine
outdated and only teaches how to ctrl c ctrl v
oh sorry not even that cuz they are on mobile
oak imp
@woven sundial lmao, that's where I started, yeeaarrsss ago aha
earnest phoenix
can you send photo of code @languid heart
pale vessel
i started by copying the docs example and learn from there lol
earnest phoenix
2012 gang trying to make minecraft plugins with the horrendous bukkit api
earnest phoenix
javascript
languid heart
Ok
pale vessel
what the fuck are you doing
earnest phoenix
javascript you are using
summer torrent
^^
languid heart
Ok
mossy vine
anyone wanna suggest more great ideas that will result in this but 10x worse?
pale vessel
no
languid heart
Javascript ok hoe i put mod commands
summer torrent
🤦♂️
pale vessel
no it's not
earnest phoenix
big ooooooooooooooofffffff
mossy vine
learning bad concepts and continuing with them is not helpful in any way what the fuck are you saying
pale vessel
he literally created an event for every command
languid heart
Emmmmmmmmm how i put mod commands
mossy vine
oh ye cutting a finger off every time you cut tomatoes is ok cuz after doing it for years and having -7213648128 fingers you will learn :)
summer torrent
@languid heart you need to first learn basics of javascript. Copy&Paste is so so bad idea
pale vessel
learn English first because the docs is in English
languid heart
Ok
summer torrent
and stop saying "how i put mod commands" please
earnest phoenix
we need to help not argue
languid heart
I can talk on english
pale vessel
well your code says different
earnest phoenix
you're really bullying this man lol
@languid heart my advice is try to understand code i dont say dont copy paste try to understand copy pasted code
pale vessel
my advice is to refer the library docs before asking anything rarted
lucid pasture
yo does anyone know how to make your bot connect to voice and play an audio file?
mossy vine
what lib
lucid pasture
the docs dont show that great of description...
earnest phoenix
in which lib
pale vessel
they do though
lucid pasture
mabie to you, but for starter programmers they arent that great
lucid pasture
uhh like audio library i guess?
earnest phoenix
oh god
pale vessel
yeah i would give up
summer torrent
discord library
mossy vine
discord.js? discord.py? eris? something else?
pale vessel
what js
summer torrent
discord.js ?
earnest phoenix
read this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272764566411149314/671073110241443872/20200118_183329.jpg
summer torrent
or eris
lucid pasture
discord.js
pale vessel
the docs basically explained everything
mossy vine
and its actually good documentation
summer torrent
lucid pasture
ill try these, if they dont work ill try something else
sudden geyser
or even better: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/general/welcome
fervent goblet
I still haven't decided to go to discord.js v12
earnest phoenix
you shouldn't go into voice without even knowing fundamentals of the programming language you're working with lol
fervent goblet
Yeah its just im lazy to rewrite
pale vessel
you'll have to anyway
pale vessel
yeah
fervent goblet
You probably right
pale vessel
so why not now? :)
earnest phoenix
i wonder when they'll kill gateway v6
fervent goblet
Yeah will get on that
earnest phoenix
v7 is basically v6 with more words in the error messages and nothing else lol
pale vessel
probably because the changes with intents and stuff
quartz kindle
why isnt v7 even documented anywhere
yet every single library uses v7
they should at least mention it in the docs since everyone is using it anyway
mossy vine
wait what v7 is a thing wtf
should i switch to it
or can i like not get support for it
earnest phoenix
How do I remove an embed from a message using JDA? I have a message (from the bot) that has a message and an embed, and I want to edit the message and remove the embed.
quartz kindle
you can switch to v7 whenever you want
mossy vine
is there a list of changes anywhere
mossy vine
any dev i can bully with questions about it 
mossy vine
arent intents also required
quartz kindle
all libraries are using it, so it wont be anything new anyway
they are not required
discord.js has been using v7 for years afaik
mossy vine
well i mean i can read js so i could just steal the code no?
quartz kindle
thats what im doing
mossy vine
for light?
mossy vine
is it open sauce yet
amber fractal
tim's lib?
pale vessel
did tim give up on light
quartz kindle
not yet, its in early alpha, working on websocket compression and shit
light its mostly finished, ill keep maintaining it while djs v12 runs its course
quartz kindle
maybe add support for more of djs's features if needed
not yet
you can steal from djs and eris tho
mossy vine
i know, ive been stealing way too much from eris
but i cant find a non-bloated voice implementation anywhere :(
quartz kindle
my next lib wont be worth stealing anyway
its actually a replacement for stealing from other libs
mossy vine
oh boy
quartz kindle
so instead of stealing, you can just use it directly and build on top of it
pale vessel
is it a light lib?
amber fractal
I need to learn websockets lol
quartz kindle
im aiming to fill a nieche market that i havent seen on npm yet
a core rest/websocket manager with 0 caching and 0 managing
mossy vine
thats what i wanted to do with mine but then i was like "lmao no fuck this" and i want to make it like serenity where you can completely customize what features you use
quartz kindle
for people to build their own libs on top of it
quartz kindle
i also found a way to use zlib without zlib-sync
quartz kindle
will when i put it on github
mossy vine
ye but you can tell me how you implemented that
quartz kindle
i stole from a package called minizlib
its a weird ass way to do it tho
but it works lmao
i still need to benchmark it, but performance should be close to zlib-sync
maybe a tiny bit slower, dont know yet

I am trying to use chrome devtools for debugging my bot (node.js) and i cannot get it to work properly. i am at chrome://inspect, and i added the hostname and port to the network targets, but it isnt seeing my node process. i can go to the port in browser and it will say "websockets request was expected", but the devtools doesnt seem to see it. anyone have experience with this?
quartz kindle
i did it with an ssh tunnel
timid blade
i temporarily have the port open so that i can test before adding authentication, but i cant get it to work at all
quartz kindle
but i found it much better and easier to use something else
timid blade
im running with node . --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229 and i have my.domain:9229 as the target discovery thing in chrome
quartz kindle
ssh tunneling is easier and safer than any auth
but what i do is to simply run a test version of my bot in nwjs, and use the dev tools there
timid blade
i am unable to run my bot locally without a whole bunch of work, so accesing it remotely is the only feasable option
timid blade
idc whether i end up using ssh tunneling or something else for auth, rn im trying to figure out how to connect at all
quartz kindle
try ssh tunneling, its easier to set up
lime jewel
Is there an avaibility to get the avatarURL of an User by ID if User and bot doesn't Share a Guild?
quartz kindle
you create a tunnel connection to your host via ssh, then you connect to it the same way as if it were in localhost
sudden geyser
LP you'd need to fetch the user by ID.
timid blade
can i use the chrome devtools ui through that? or is it all CLI
quartz kindle
it will also get autodiscovered in dev tools
sudden geyser
aka users.fetch on the client users manager/collection.
lime jewel
Ok I'll try
quartz kindle
once you setup the ssh tunnel, the dev tools will autodiscover it as if it were in localhost
amber fractal
@lime jewel yes you can fetch any user if you have their id and get their avatar hash
timid blade
ok
amber fractal
oh your question was answered lol
timid blade
ok ive never used ssh tunnel before, is this right? cuz i still dont see the process
ssh -L 9221:localhost:9229 user@my.domain -i my_key
ah it showed up finally, nvm
thanks tim
still merlin
my bot is being a fool and wont turn on. (Moderators don't delete my screenshot I'll regen my token art software is broken)
ive waited ages and my bot wont turn on
summer torrent
where is client.login()?
still merlin
oops-
quartz kindle
lmfao
earnest phoenix
turbid bough
you could just copy the text 👀
earnest phoenix
My bot had wrong prefix the whole time
turbid bough
also, its funny to see the token variable being grayed
signing that its not even being used
nimble escarp
anyone who has a more elegant TS solution? 😅
handleCommand = (message: Discord.Message): void => {
if (message.guild?.id === this.config.DISCORD.GUILD_ID) {
if (message.channel.type === "text") {
if (message.content.startsWith(this.config.DISCORD.CMD_PREFIX)) {
let cmd = message.content.substr(
this.config.DISCORD.CMD_PREFIX.length,
);
if (cmd.indexOf(" ") !== -1) {
cmd = cmd.split(" ")[0];
}
if ((commands as never)[cmd]) {
const cmds: Command[] = (commands as unknown) as Command[];
cmds[cmd](message, this.config);
}
}
}
}
};
or just use if (condition && condition2 && condition3) {...}
nimble escarp
Well, I'm talking more about this part.
if ((commands as never)[cmd]) {
const cmds: Command[] = (commands as unknown) as Command[];
cmds[cmd](message, this.config);
}
but that'll become messy if you have a lot
nimble escarp
I'm loading commands from separate files and I don't like the idea of casting them as never and unknown to satisfy typescript
EDIT: and then invoking them.
import * as commands from "./commands";
/* src/modules/CommandHandler/commands/index.ts */
export * from "./embed";
export * from "./rank";
export * from "./leaderboards";
const embed = async (
message: Discord.Message,
config?: Config,
): Promise<void> => {};
export { embed }
I lost so much time trying to come up with something more elegant 
Also, the last time I tried using less ifs it ended up like this 😅
return uA.level > uB.level
? -1
: uB.level > uA.level
? 1
: uA.level === uB.level
? uA.xp > uB.xp
? -1
: uB.xp > uA.xp
? 1
: 0
: 0;
topaz fjord
I'm reading a file and storing the contents in a variable. Should I make that variable public so that any file can read/write to it or should I make it read only and add helper functions for it
mossy vine
that depends on how the rest of your project is structured ig
topaz fjord
most functions depend on that config file
mossy vine
then i guess helper functions would be good
topaz fjord
this is going to be comment hell
nimble escarp
any suggestions on a command handler? 
turbid bough
@nimble escarp lol, never said use less if's, just make the if's structured.
mossy vine
lol just make 10k well structured if statements instead of an efficient structure
twin marsh
How can I get my bot to delete messages if the messages are older than 7 hours, regardless if the bot restarts?
earnest phoenix
in which library
twin marsh
discord.js
finite bough
^like discord.js or discord.py
twin marsh
In a certain channel only
pale vessel
you shouldn't do that
earnest phoenix
it's possible, but it can take over a day to complete depending on how many messages there are
you'll constantly get ratelimited
and possibly api banned for api spam
twin marsh
It's a channel where I have been deleting messages older than 48 hours
earnest phoenix
why not just delete and recreate the channel
twin marsh
so that wouldn't be a big deal to implement for that channel, right? but how
twin marsh
There is just 8 messages or something now
But we're getting tired removing them constantly
twin marsh
Nope
Yeah
earnest phoenix
this is an http://xyproblem.info/
nimble escarp
I'd do something like "if the last message is older than eight hours then delete the channel and recreate it" 
finite bough
u can store the time when u want to delete the msg
and then execute the message.delete at that time
nimble escarp
It would keep the channel clean once activity goes down.
finite bough
so if u save the time it will delete it regardless if the bot gets reseted
pale vessel
or make an interval, fetch the messages and filter them by time and delete them
twin marsh
ok
turbid bough
@nimble escarp ```js
if(uA.level == uB.level) return uA.xp > uB.xp;
if(uA.level > uB.level) return -1;
if(uB.level < uA.level) return 1;
return 0;
looks much better than this mess
return uA.level > uB.level
? -1
: uB.level > uA.level
? 1
: uA.level === uB.level
? uA.xp > uB.xp
? -1
: uB.xp > uA.xp
? 1
: 0
: 0;```oh wait, im missing one xp part
nimble escarp
I agree. I scrapped that code some time ago though.
This wouldn't work tho
since uA.xp > uB.xp needs to return either -1 or 1
false doesn't resolve to -1
turbid bough
yes, but false was meant to go to 0
nimble escarp
0 shouldn't really happen though
nimble escarp
True
It's basically for the sort function.
I was sorting people by their level and xp.
this was my first version
turbid bough
ok that make it much more readable
nimble escarp
I used the shorthand operator basically for fun afterwards.
It was never supposed to be production code.
modest maple
bubble sorts exist
turbid bough
i made it even smaller
if(uA.level == uB.level){
if(uA.xp == uB.xp) return 0;
if(uA.xp > uB.xp) return -1;
else return 1;
}
if(uA.level > uB.level) return -1;
else return 1;```just removed brackets
turbid bough
nvm, here is the smaller one
if(uA.level == uB.level){
if(uA.xp == uB.xp) return 0;
return uA.xp > uB.xp ? -1 : 1;
}
return uA.level > uB.level ? -1 : 1;```it'd need to be switched around (-1 and 1s) but it looks good
turbid bough
ah right yea.
also cause there is no need to double check if their ex/level is higher or lower. if you check if they are the same or not first
so the if(uB.level > uA.level) would replaced with just an else if you move the last non-nested if function to the top
main laurel
Guys i have to catch DiscordApi Missing Permission Error in discord.js how can i do that?
earnest phoenix
by catching
main laurel
@earnest phoenix yes but in this case i have to use a lot of try catch statements
main laurel
:d
earnest phoenix
that is if you're using async/await
if you're doing promise pattern then there's no way to make it pretty, use async/await
main laurel
I'm not sure, but I've heard that large try catch statements aren't working right?
nimble escarp
Why wouldn't they work?
main laurel
I don't know i only see this in site
earnest phoenix
try catch is expensive on memory so instead of putting a band aid on it, a proper solution would be to check if you have the sufficient perms to execute the action before actually executing it
main laurel
thanks guys
valid gyro
hey im looking for some node help
pale vessel
don't ask to ask
nimble escarp
-ask2ask
pale vessel
mods only oof
valid gyro
my bot runs off an api, and i wanted to know if anyone could help me make my bot filter spaces into dashes so that users dont have to query with dashes
quartz kindle
our asian friend is back to being an asian again?
valid gyro
code is there
nimble escarp
Someone removed my nickname yesterday
quartz kindle
lmao
topaz fjord
is it tho
pale vessel
okay vsauce
topaz fjord
I temporarily gained autism
slender thistle
whistles in #memes-and-media topics
quartz kindle
@valid gyro wdym filter spaces into dashes?
topaz fjord
don't bully
pale vessel
replace them maybe
pale vessel
so you want to replace spaces with dashes?
quartz kindle
so your url looks like this: website.com/my-arg-here
and you want people do to mycommand my arg here
valid gyro
yeah
pale vessel
you can just join the args with -
quartz kindle
so split the message on spaces and join them by dashes?
valid gyro
quartz kindle
.split(" ").join("-")
valid gyro
k one sec ill try that
pale vessel
you can also use regex for whitespace characters
quartz kindle
you may need to remove the initial command from it: .split(" ").slice(1).join("-")
depending on how your command works
pale vessel
so .split(/\s+/)
nimble escarp
Now I'm curious as to why not use .replace.
That would be the best course of action if he already had arguments split from the command.
quartz kindle
replace is also an option yes
there is no specific reason to go with one over another, it just depends on how much control over it you want, and what you want to accomplish
there's a million ways to manipulate strings
valid gyro
join throws an unterminated string constant
quartz kindle
wat
nimble escarp
Well, I'd personally create a copy instead of mutating first.
like .split(" ").map().join("-")
valid gyro
ok so my code looks like this now
const args = msg.content.split(" ").slice(prefix.length).join("-");
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
and with the new join im getting args shift is not a function
valid gyro
o
quartz kindle
else you will remove as many args as your prefix length
nimble escarp
I'm doing it like this personally
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
same here
quartz kindle
but if you're not using the command itself in the query, you can skip that part
and do .split().slice(1) instead, to remove the entire first word, prefix included
valid gyro
that time i got msg.slice is not a function, let me try some things and see if i can fix it
turbid bough
try catch is expensive on memory so instead of putting a band aid on it, a proper solution would be to check if you have the sufficient perms to execute the action before actually executing it
@earnest phoenix i did a permission check once, and somehow it still managed to execute it and discord gave me a 403 error
and its cause i didnt check for channel overrides
but to check for channel overrides, you would need to check for your role
oh, nvm found it
barren pumice
Hello, I'm looking for a free hosting for my bot, do you have any suggestions ?
valid gyro
I use glitch.com
iron steeple
Heroku or glitch
nimble escarp
The best I can think of is the free tier for Heroku.
nimble escarp
30 mins + you get limited monthly hours
iron steeple
I used to use it and it worked fine as long as it’s optimised
I had mine running for around 25 days before it shut off
nimble escarp
Personal accounts are given a base of 550 free dyno hours each month. In addition to these base hours, accounts which verify with a credit card will receive an additional 450 hours added to the monthly free dyno quota. This means you can receive a total of 1000 free dyno hours per month, if you verify your account with a credit card.
1000 hours is around 40 days
valid gyro
const args = msg.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/\s+/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
this seems to split my args with a ,
nimble escarp
This splits the args into an array, you can join them afterwards.
valid gyro
o
nimble escarp
args.join("-")
barren pumice
Thanks for your suggestions ^^
valid gyro
still gives me commas
i think that needs to happen before it joins them with commas is the ting @nimble escarp
nimble escarp
That code doesn't really join them with commas though.
valid gyro
I read somewhere that node does it by default
o wait
no, its still sending an array
when its sends an array it seperates with,
nimble escarp
You have to join it while you're sending it.
quartz kindle
it joins with commas if you dont join it yourself
valid gyro
i have a constant set up that joins it
quartz kindle
comma is the default join when you convert it to a string
nimble escarp
Show us the code.
valid gyro
const badargs = msg.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/\s+/);
const args = badargs.join("-")
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
earnest phoenix
what
valid gyro
so shift needs to go first?
quartz kindle
use toLowerCase before splitting or after joining. use shift after splitting and before joining
nimble escarp
.shift() returns the first element in the array
while removing it from the original array
valid gyro
ooooooohhh
nimble escarp
@valid gyro
const badargs = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
const args = badargs.join("-");
Oh you probably shouldn't mutate the args, my bad.
barren pumice
@valid gyro is Glitch up 24h/7 for a small app ? 😮
valid gyro
with some extra scripts and uptime robot yes
cause glitch is designed for websites
so it will fall asleeo unless you html ping it every 5 mins
damn still getting commas even after shifting things around
quartz kindle
show the rest of the code
valid gyro
although rn i just have it set up to send the args constant as a message for testing
all of the code
at least the current version that im tinkering with
its a little messy
nimble escarp
const badargs = msg.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
- const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
+ const command = badargs.shift().toLowerCase();
const args = badargs.join("-");
your code should be throwing an error, not showing args with commas
valid gyro
it would throw an error, but i disable the api commands with // and replaced it with a command that sends the args constant to discord
nimble escarp
it wasn't
nimble escarp
it was defined after being used
quartz kindle
i mean before you made the changes ovxr showed you
valid gyro
o, yeah idk then
nimble escarp
const badargs = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
const args = badargs.join("-");
this is from your code, here on L2 args is being used before it's been defined
quartz kindle
anyways it should work now
valid gyro
maybe glitch was doing something funky
yeah it works now]
thanks so much for your guys help!!
nimble escarp
You're welcome!
gloomy imp
Ok so, is it possible to pass a bot a link to a message and have it retrieve the message object?
quartz kindle
if the message is accessible yes
i have a bot that does exactly this (its his entire purpose lol)
quartz kindle
you need to process the IDs from the link
the guild id, the channel id and the message id
earnest phoenix
my bot throws back a sentence 2 times
quartz kindle
check if your bot is in the guild (guilds.get or guild.cache.get)
check if your bot can see the channel (guild.channels.get or guild.channels.cache.get)
then try fetching the message (channel.messages.fetch)
gloomy imp
aha
quartz kindle
assuming you're using discord.js
quartz kindle
ah then idk the functions
gloomy imp
hmm
gloomy imp
aight, guess I'll dig through the api for that for nw :9

Just curious, is there anything wrong with sharding a bot under 1,000 discord servers?
quartz kindle
there is nothing wrong
it just might not be ideal for performance reasons
but definitely nothing wrong
sly fjord
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I saw it wasn't recommended, just wondering why. I added it, but commented it out until then. Thank you

yo, does anyone know a fix for the voiceChannel/textChannel lines, cause it keeps saying channel is undefined
turbid bough
what code?
lucid pasture
js
but nvm im gonna use a different thing
yo does anyone know how to make your bot actually play audio instead of joining and having a green ring but no audio
prime cliff
channel is undefined
You should probably debug your code then and look at the d.js docs on how to connect properly

Hi guys

anyone know what FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory error means??
lucid pasture
to much storage taken up mabie??? idk
lyric mountain
Lol oom
First time I see that in js
Try to optimize your var/const/let usage
And have only one listener for each type
prime cliff
Dang you running your bot on a toaster
lucid pasture
lol
@prime cliff now its saying that server.dispatcher.on the on is undefined, anything i should use as a fix?
prime cliff
on is undefined
lucid pasture
ye
prime cliff
server.dispatcher.on is not a valid function
prime cliff
Also what is server? a guild object?
lucid pasture
the server is a variable and yea a guild object
prime cliff
Guilds don't have a disptach property though? https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/v12/class/Guild
earnest phoenix
Also Here's part where error appeared ```js
function timer(arguments, receivedMessage){
var cnt = 0
arguments.forEach((value) => {
while(1 == 1) {
delay(1000);
cnt = cnt + 1}
if (arguments == "start") {
timer = parseFloat(value)
receivedMessage.channel.send(":clock8:Timer Started for"+timer+ " minutes:clock8:")
}
if (cnt == value) {
receivedMessage.channel.send("Beep beep beep timer for "+ timer+"has ended!")
}
})
}```
delay is a lib
lucid pasture
@prime cliff can i dm you and show you the code that i have?
prime cliff
You could just post the code here
lucid pasture
kk how do i put it in a box
prime cliff
```js
Code here
```
lucid pasture

server.queue.shift();
server.dispacher.on("end", function(){

});
}
if(!args[1]){

its a mess

lucid pasture
with what
lavish fern
anyone know of a bot that can log time from when someone says !onduty till !offduty then have it outputed to a say Google doc for a log?
lucid pasture
you programming, or you looking for one?
cause i could find a way to implement it to my bot if you cant find one
lavish fern
Im looking for one
ive been looking for an hour or sooo but nothing came close
What kind of coding is it java> or C++
lucid pasture
i could put it in my bot, and then just have accsess to the doc and record the time there
lavish fern
that would be cool

you read out message.attachments and send them back, reformatted
grizzled raven
no you cant
thats the thing
is there a way

apparently attachments only support buffer resolvables or streams,
and all message attachments return are strings and width/height

you can send attachments as urls too

earnest phoenix
@turbid bough which is better? eris sharder or just plain eris?
turbid bough
i dont use eris so idk
earnest phoenix
ok then im using eris sharder
turbid bough
im guessing clustering requires making your own database/connecton. or making very strict configuration
mossy vine
what
turbid bough
idk.
mossy vine
do you know what clustering is
turbid bough
yeah, multiple shards in different servers
mossy vine
different processes
turbid bough
oh ok
so if you have 4 cores for example, having one cluster per core is the most optimal?
turbid bough
ive tried sharding, but idk it does not work sometimes when trying to use different processes
or its just my library isnt up for it
just searching up "discord bot cluster" will come up eris sharder as the top search result
oo i think i found it
mossy vine
because.. thats its main selling point..
earnest phoenix
is glitch.com a good host for bots even tho it is not made for that?
turbid bough
Lavalink4NET
mossy vine
@earnest phoenix if the bot is in like 5 servers yes
earnest phoenix
how about 1 server only?
mossy vine
if you can deal with its limitiations then go for it

alr then cuz i just need a temp host to test Eris at while having my old d.js bot still running properly
coral trellis
@fair shoal
turbid bough
or maby you cant communicate between discord clusters directly with eachother
with discord.net
earnest phoenix
You would need some sort of IPC/RPC layer for that
turbid bough
ok, but i dont technically need any direct communication for them to work?
but, i noticed if you dont launch the shards in order, it wont connect or something
mossy vine
order shouldnt matter afaik? maybe it does and its just not mentioned in docs
earnest phoenix
You have to specify the first and last shard ID
turbid bough
im not using eris btw.
earnest phoenix
I saw.
turbid bough
ah right i did tell that
what about totalshards?
is that total shard as in total with all the clusters?
or in total in just that one cluster?
turbid bough
jeez, i cant test my bot lol, i dont have access to my database
worn sentinel
Hey, how long does it take to approve a bot?
turbid bough
1-2 weeks
worn sentinel
oh okay
earnest phoenix
@turbid bough total with all clusters
turbid bough
ah cool 👍
can you for example use id 100-199 for cluster 1 and 0-99 for cluster 0 but with only initializing 2 shards per cluster?
so you can expand them later easily

bot.on('ready', () =>{
console.log('this bot is online');
bot.user.setActivity('idk')

earnest phoenix
@scenic nest are you trying to show the bot's status and member count of it's users in it's custom status or something?
scenic nest
yes
restive furnace
@scenic nest example of setinterval
let p = 0;
setInterval(() => {
p++;
bot.user.setActivity(p.toString())
}, 12000) // 12 secs is minium to change the presence```so every 12 secs it makes the number higher on status, so i think thats enough explaining to you.

That's the result.
That doesn't show us what arg[0] is.
If arg[0] exist.

No, 5 is **5**
Right.
I recommend separating command from args.

12 secs = minium, even tho its little api abusing.

You can check the ratelimits by making a request to that endpoint. whatever the x-ratelimit says, that's what it is. if it says 12 seconds, then waiting 12 seconds to do it again is not API abuse, not even a little bit

const (the name you put) = new discord.client()
you need to put the name you put instead of bot
turbid bough
Clients are allowed 120 events every 60 seconds, meaning you can send on average at a rate of up to 2 events per second. Clients who surpass this limit are immediately disconnected from the Gateway, and similarly to the HTTP API, repeat offenders will have their API access revoked. Clients are also limited to one gateway connection per 5 seconds. If you hit this limit, the Gateway will respond with an Opcode 9 Invalid Session.

@opaque seal what version of Discord.js are you using.

Have you waited 30 minutes?
@split hazel I had this code for a while but my bot didn't have any shardssetInterval(() => { dbl.postStats(client.guilds.size, client.shards.Id, client.shards.total); }, 1800000);
So I changed it to this
client.once('ready', async () => {
console.log('Ready!');
client.user.setActivity('$help');
setInterval(() => {
dbl.postStats(client.guilds.size);
}, 1800000);
});
collections were moved to managers (e.g., guilds.size is now guilds.cache.size)

fresh kernel
I'm struggling with an updating message.
Here is the current behavior:
First user calls the !join command and everything runs as intended.
Second user calls the !join command and is added to queue. The database shows that both users are in queue, with the correct user IDs as well. However, for some reason that I cannot figure out the async function's variables are overwritten so it starts checking only for the second user twice.
Here are the console logs showing that there is an actual overwrite:

[16:17:35][Console/Log] justBefore: 313367547028176898 313367547028176898

@maiden mauve Why not use deeper nesting (m.embed.H[0], m.embed.R[4], etc.)?
