i personally disable voicestates, roles, members, channels, channel permissionOverwrites, presences, users
but doesnt your bot require presences?
viral spade
not yet but its a feature in consideration
quartz kindle
ah i though your statistics involved presences, hence why such cpu usage
fickle arch
wait is it just me or i'm wrong writing the codes so it appear a error like this "Discord.RichEmbed is not a constructor".
quartz kindle
if your resources were already that bad i cant imagine with presences lol
@fickle arch RichEmbed was removed in v12
and replaced with MessageEmbed
fickle arch
ah alright
viral spade
but it seems to me i cannot really deactivate caches, so it will not make much ram difference what lib i use, right?
quartz kindle
if you need to track changes, you cannot disable caches
but there is a difference between how each lib caches
in you case, you could get a fairly decent improvement by caching small objects containing only the info you need
compared to storing full instances of a class
viral spade
yes, like you said deactivating f.e. voicestates?
quartz kindle
voicestates are also disablable via intents
viral spade
(i dont use voicestate, only if the user is part of the channel)
and those are also disablable in d.js?
all intents?
dude i rellay dont know should i switch now from discord.js to eris, or something else. i feel like its not worth it to switch for now. what would you do?

Hi guys, simple discord js bot question. I want my bot to send an image file. It basically sends street fighter combos which are in an image.
I've got it with if statements to send an image based on a command but instead of having hundreds of if statements I want the user to define it and the bot will find and send the image file by that request. So a user can go !cammy and the bot will see if there's an image with that name and send it.
Sorry I'm new to all this and had trouble trying to google an answer.
earnest phoenix
where are you getting the images from?
humble plaza
stored as jpgs in my github repo
knotty steeple
have on object of images with the keys being the command name/combo
humble plaza
So at the moment we have it as
if(msg==prefix+'akumasf2'){
message.channel.send("Akuma's Moves for Street Fighter II", {
files:["./SF2moves/akuma.PNG"]})}
lots of times for each character
knotty steeple
so if args includes Object.keys(images)
images being the object of image paths and names
humble plaza
Is there a way instead, the user can just define the name they want and it can be filled in. So for example, where it says "Akuma", instead this can be a placeholder for the whatever the user puts in and the code runs based on the argument the user sends.
Sorry, still learning
quartz kindle
there are many ways to do this
grizzled raven
wish i could be able to opt out of presence packets but i cant
so i just stop caching them
white anvil
why cant you opt out
grizzled raven
because of the way it affects guild members
quartz kindle
let command = msg.slice(prefix.length);
// method 1
files:[`./SF2moves/${command.toLowerCase()}.png`] // must match exact name. no built in option to change sf2 to another game
// method 2
let list = {
"akumasf2":"./SF2moves/akuma.pnk",
...
}
files:[list[command.toLowerCase()]] // must match exact name and exact game
// method 3
let list = [
{
names: ["akuma","akumasf2"],
url: "./SF2moves/akuma.pnk"
}
...
]
files:[list.find(item => item.names.includes(command.toLowerCase()))] // more flexible, can have multiple names and aliases for the same url
``` @humble plazahow are you impressed, im just confused
humble plaza
can learn from this
quartz kindle
another option is to change your command to something like !moves character game
grizzled raven
what language is that
quartz kindle
its pseudocode lol
grizzled raven
anyone know if discord has some formula for welcome messages?
quartz kindle
formula?
quartz kindle
ah you mean the system messages
grizzled raven
yeah idk why i said formula im tired
anyway eris does something with an outdated list that isnt used anymore
quartz kindle
eris and outdated, name a better duo
grizzled raven
grizzled raven
outdated
i got the hopefully new and updated list so i was wondering if eris' formula was actually a valid formula
guess not
quartz kindle
is there even a formula?
grizzled raven
eris does
quartz kindle
also, whats the point of tracking these client side?
grizzled raven
~~(message.createdTimestamp % lengthOfJoinMessages)
since the api sends you them anyway
quartz kindle
oh is it?
grizzled raven
math.floor alternative apparently
grizzled raven
it inverts then inverts again i guess
knotty steeple
idk shit about bitwise
quartz kindle
let me benchmark this
queen needle
https://sourceb.in/632f4ce5d9
whrn the other person responds no errors but it doesnt send a message
so no errors and nothing happens
grizzled raven
wait what
lol great
now i dont have to think that im sacrificing speed when i use math.floor
grizzled raven
but stilll
quartz kindle
thats insanity
grizzled raven
im different
quartz kindle
lmao
grizzled raven
im the type of guy to sacrifice speed for looks
grizzled raven
LOL
white anvil
im the opposite
quartz kindle
actually, someone should make an editor plugin that formats your code to ascii art
grizzled raven
this piece of code is faster, BUT this piece of code has a secret image of kirby in ascii art and therefor is better
hire luke
and force him
like the time he made functional code that looked like luca
quartz kindle
luca's code best code
everyday i dream of being capable of coding like that
luca is my inspiration, my role model
it is
as long as it has permissions to manage roles
queen needle
https://sourceb.in/f05642d7bf when the user responds nothing happens and it gives no errors
quartz kindle
client.user is a user, not a guild member
grizzled raven
sorry i was just in shock after revisiting luca's code
now i wanted to do something but i forgot
sudden geyser
Shock from its beauty?
astral yoke
okay so
if I got let user = message.mentions.members.first() || message.author;How could I make it so if theres also an id instead of mentions it would also be able todo it, if that makes sense
sick cloud
will something like this be a decent enough indicator if a guild is a bot farm:
bots > 100 && humans < 50 (more than 100 bots and less than 50 humans/users)
digital ibex
hi, how can i update an array?
stark needle
Is it easy to code a bot as never done it
digital ibex
like i have js ['hi']; how can i make it be something like ```js
['hi', 'bye'];
@stark needle if u know whichever language u r using to create it with, it is but not as hard as starting the language and creating a bot as ur learning so many things at once, u can't differentiate whats part of the lib and whats not
stark needle
I was looking at the replay bot
digital ibex
any bot will be, doesnt really matter what the functions of it are
sudden geyser
will something like this be a decent enough indicator if a guild is a bot farm:
bots > 100 && humans < 50(more than 100 bots and less than 50 humans/users)
@sick cloud that really depends on if you think it's satisfactory. What if I get a bot farm with 51 people? What if I get a bot farm with 1 person and 99 bots? I also like logging how many bots a server has (if it has a lot just run a command to leave the server).
If you wanted to be more correct you can simply check the percentage of bots to humans (just one way).
sick cloud
we've been discussing it in #memes-and-media for ages but ty
also i can't really log and look through as i can get 100+ servers a day
sudden geyser
yeah for large bots that's a big no no
turbid bough
you can try checking if people are using your commands or not
like, after a week or so, if they have yet used a command at all
unborn fulcrum
how would I get a whois command to show if someone is in a server e.g support server
pale vessel
just check in every guild your bot is in
turbid bough
would require parsing every guild
pale vessel
shouldn't take long
guilds.cache.map(guild => guild.members.cache.has(id))
something like that
turbid bough
lol nvm, discord.net just added a function with it
public IReadOnlyCollection<SocketGuild> MutualGuilds
=> Discord.Guilds.Where(g => g.Users.Any(u => u.Id == Id)).ToImmutableArray();
earnest phoenix
one question...
are we allowed to give away code for free volintarily without anyone asking for it?

what don't you get about that
earnest phoenix
ur bot is missing required permissions
clear wraith
It has perms in my server...
earnest phoenix
you can change permissions in the developer portal

your server?
clear wraith
so idk why it needs perms when it already has perms for my server
pale vessel
your bot is in other servers too
clear wraith
Ok...
turbid bough
Ok?
clear wraith
nvm
earnest phoenix
lol
turbid bough
soo, i managed to fix my bot so it stopped used 3gb of ram
now it only uses 130mb of ram
viral spade
what did you do to achieve that? @turbid bough
Which lib?
turbid bough
c#
but not beacuse of the library
i made a dbcontext transient and only put it on the root servicecollection, and it never got disposed.
so everytime i needed to access the db, it would create a new instance, store it in ram, and keep it there forever till the app crashed
cause i thought scoped was not working, cause i didnt even actually create a scope in the messagehandler

Using discord.js
I've been trying to generate a list of what games people are playing on a server, though it doesn't seem to catch my current game and records it as me playing nothing
I'm using this:
GuildMember.presence.activities.name
Which feels wrong but it's the only lead I can get from the discord.js documentation, and the code isn't returning errors so I'm not really sure...
Not sure if this is a place where I should ask questions like this, sorry in advance if not
earnest phoenix
activities is an array
you can't call object properties on it because you don't have a reference to the object, you have a reference to the array of objects
clear tiger
any idea how to get their current activity then? I tried activities[0] as well which was probably smooth brain, obviously with no luck
actually, I managed to get it via eval 
I appreciate your time, hopefully I can figure it out before 4am brain hits me too hard
earnest phoenix
a user can have multiple activities concurrently, the solution on the top my head is just to use .map() to map the array to the activity names and then use .join() to join the newly created array of strings into a single string
clear tiger
I figured it out, I was checking for activities[0].type === "PLAYING", as it turns out they're integers
so it threw me off
I appreciate the help a bunch, sorry if it was trivial smolbrain stuff

Make sure you are restarting your bot properly
earnest phoenix
More precisely all my commands are repeated, except for Help (I restart the bot correctly)
nocturne grove
maybe you're hosting it somewhere else too, without the help command
earnest phoenix
can you type what you need to say in one cohesive message
pure lion
Idk
earnest phoenix
roles are always editable...?
pure lion
No I mean
earnest phoenix
oh you mean change which role to assign
pure lion
I wanna make the actual roles it's looking for editable in the server, so it's not hard coded
Yeah exacc
earnest phoenix
you need to use a database to store the id of the role
then simply get the role object with the id from the database
earnest phoenix
if you structure it like that, yeah
in an SQL database you'd have a table and in the table fields like guildId, mainRoleId etc etc
based on that
you can query for the role id of a specific guild id
pure lion
Cry is there any npm stuff that I need to install for SQL?
nocturne grove
@pure lion don't you just want to search any role? For example:
!find Muted
Bot reacts: There is no role called Muted
Like that in another format?
that's what I understand you want to do
earnest phoenix
they want the ability to freely set which roles are used for what
not being restricted to a name lookup
pure lion
Ye that
nocturne grove
ohhh okay

We don't do custom nicknames. Yours was changed to make it easily mentionable

We don't do custom nicknames. Yours was changed to make it easily mentionable
a mod probably changed it thinking that the d was a p (it's filpped)

Can't I run a fetch command for the roles in the server and check if the argument matches the role or am I just talking gibberish
@pure lion yes you can do that

that'll only be in memory though
once you restart your process all of the data you stored is going to be gone
it's why you have to use a database

digital ibex
if i have js let o = ['hi', 'bye']; let p = ['hi', 'nobye']; how can i check if any value of o is equal to p, in his case, it would return true
earnest phoenix
95% of newbies we get here complain about how they can't do anything and demand to be spoonfed lol
pure lion
bruh lol
digital ibex
i've tried ```js
o.includes(p);
@digital ibex for loop through o, that way you get each string separately, use p.includes(o[your index from the for loop]) and break out of the for loop when the includes returns true
digital ibex
ah, ok, thank u
earnest phoenix
you'd also have some bool value laying around that you can set to true when p.includes returns true
nocturne grove
o.some() works too right? Think that's better
digital ibex
can i do like
let o = ['hi', 'bye'];
let p = ['hi', 'nobye']; o.some((e) => e === 'hi');```yes you can, but that doesn't do what you want
earnest phoenix
^
quartz kindle
You need to combine .some with .includes
nocturne grove
you want to check if the element is the same as an element in the other array
digital ibex
kk, thanks guys
nocturne grove
np
quartz kindle
.some(e => p.includes(e)
nocturne grove
You need to combine .some with .includes
@quartz kindle o[key] will do the same, right? Or is includes() better? Just asking
like this: .some(e => p[e]
quartz kindle
.some will iterate over an array and give yoi each item from it
So for each item, you need to check if it exists in the other array
nocturne grove
yes I know, but I'm asking if one of e => p[e] and e => p.includes(e) is better
quartz kindle
you cant do p[e] in this case
Because p is an array, and e is a value, not an index
[a,b,c][0] = a
[a,b,c][a] = undefined
[a,b,c].includes(a) = true

@balmy knoll you need to have a database to do that properly
@earnest phoenix https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Presence?scrollTo=user

any ideas how can I check the message is an emoji? (excluding custom emojis, only emojis like ๐๏ธ ๐ ๐ etc)

I am creating a dashboard for my bot and I was wondering how you can get the look of the official discord website and mee6 dashboard
earnest phoenix
do you mean schedule a message, or send a random message each time @autumn quarry
@sullen patrol what do you mean
the styling?
earnest phoenix
they hired professional web designers
autumn quarry
@earnest phoenix I mean, if the command is executed at 8:00 it says something, but if it is executed at 10:00 it says something different
sullen patrol
ok
earnest phoenix
which language are you using tirenity
autumn quarry
Discord.js (v11)
earnest phoenix
ok so js, that's a lib
earnest phoenix
use Date.now() and getHours() on that
though this is a problem because almost everyone is in a different timezone
so you'll probably want getUTCHours() for the UTC timezone
earnest phoenix
that'll return an int (0-23) and then you can switch case on it and do a response that you want for certain hours
autumn quarry
timezones are definitely a problem in the servers i am in, barely anyone are in the same timezones lmao
nocturne grove
yes but i check how @nocturne grove (https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/711565253552635944)
@earnest phoenix still needed?
autumn quarry
@earnest phoenix I am confused on where to use the Date.now() and getHours()
earnest phoenix
wherever your command handling logic is
autumn quarry
I mean, do I use them like this:
let hours = getCDTHours() if(hours = ("8")){ message.channel.send("user is unavailable") };
earnest phoenix
oh, are you doing the "user is unavailable" for yourself?
earnest phoenix
where are you hosting the bot
earnest phoenix
home or a vps
autumn quarry
home
autumn quarry
o
earnest phoenix
if(hours = ("8")){
this line is completely wrong
hours is an int
= is for assignment, == is for comparison ignoring types, === is for type sensitive comparison
you probably want to use the last one
autumn quarry
okay
makes sense why it gives me an error when i mistype
so would it just be:
getHours(8){}
earnest phoenix
no
getHours doesn't take in any arguments
it returns an int of the current hour
autumn quarry
oh
I put it in, and it says: "getHours is not defined"
I am just confused on how to do the second part
torn nebula
you can check if it's true send message
earnest phoenix
re-read what i said here
converting a date to a string takes time (not to mention overhead time for the includes method which is slow)
there's no reason to do that when you only need to check the amount

how would i do a command that shows the uptime of my bot discord.js v12
fickle arch
restart the script like how ?.
earnest phoenix
yes @nocturne grove
tight plinth
@next mica <Client>.uptime is a value that shows, in miliseconds, for how many time the bot is running. simply use it
next mica
ok thanks

i get the thin g humanize is not defined

i just want to said that xd.

ok
i also keep getting this

Error: sqlite: filename is not defined How can i fix this error?
grizzled raven
define filename
balmy knoll
@grizzled raven I've never used this package. What's a filename and what do I put in it?
granite girder
A filename is something like:** index.js**
next mica
i got this righ there
(node:15092) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 message listeners added to [Client]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
im wondering where yo i put the emiiter.setmaxlisteners at
balmy knoll
@granite girder Ok, but...
client.setProvider(
sqlite.open(path.join(__dirname, 'database.sqlite3')).then(db => new commando.SQLiteProvider(db))
).catch(console.error);
The database.sqlite3 file where should I create it and what should I put in it?
granite girder
if it is in the same Folder you can type: ./database.sqlite3
next mica
would i do client.on(emitter.setmaxlisteners())
balmy knoll
@granite girder Ok, but i take this code online, what should I replace this file with?
granite girder
Do you mean you upload it in to an cloud or something like this?
balmy knoll
@granite girder I got this code from the official discord.js-commando github. It servers me so I can save data from each guild. But I've never used the sqlite library, so I don't know how to use it.
honest perch
i need help, pm2 decides to just shut off my main bot
but not my other bots
nor can i actually scroll onto it
next mica
i fixed the emiiter with client.setMaxListeners(0);
torn nebula
better you should not do that
next mica
me
torn nebula
yes
next mica
why
granite girder
@balmy knoll i also donยดt know anything about sqlite3. Sqlite3 is a Database type right?
quartz kindle
its not a fix, its simply turning off the fire alarm lmao
torn nebula
nested events gives maxlisteners error
next mica
how do i fix it then
quartz kindle
dont add so many listeners
next mica
i need to set up a prefix thing?
quartz kindle
no, you need to do ```js
client.on("bla", bla => {
command1,
command2,
command3
})
and not ```js
client.on("bla", bla)
client.on("bla", bla)
client.on("bla", bla)
thats not what im doing
next mica
next mica
so how do i combind that to one event
quartz kindle
@next mica thats doing exactly that i said not to do lol
next mica
balmy knoll
@granite girder I don't know anything, I got the code online, I don't know what to do.
granite girder
@next mica you can make it like this:
client.on('message',(message) => { if(message.content === 'help'){ console.log('help') } if(message.content === 'yeet'){ console.log('yeet') } }
@balmy knoll If it is a normal Database you could use Mysql
next mica
earnest phoenix
Cannot ready proprety user of undefined @nocturne grove

like this if i dont want to log it
torn nebula
(./filename.sqlite)
granite girder
yes
balmy knoll
@torn nebula sqlite.open(path.join(__dirname, 'database.sqlite3')) Yes, but in this code, database.sqlite3 is a file that i have to add in the bot folder?
next mica
i cant do it for all of mine i have some async functions
torn nebula
if database.sqlite is your database file
use
sqlite.open(../database.sqlite,)
to open db file
next mica
crafty how would i put a async funtion into that
granite girder
@next mica then use: client.on('message',async (message) => {
})
torn nebula
don't use async until you good with that
balmy knoll
@torn nebula Ok, but what does a database file look like and what do I put in it? Is there an online guide?
torn nebula
wait
next mica
so do one for async funtions
quartz kindle
@balmy knoll you dont make the file yourself
sqlite will create and manage the file for you
everything you do has to be done by sqlite, you never mess with the file yourself
balmy knoll
@quartz kindle I found this in the discord.js-commando documentation to use the built-in command to set different prefixes for each server. But to do that I need this database, but I don't know how.
unborn steeple
how do i fix [object Object]
im using discord.js 11.2.1
@balmy knoll look at the quick.db npm package it can be useful.
quartz kindle
object is a data structure that contains many items
you need to chose which item you want
otherwise, if you want to dump the entire object, you need to stringify it
JSON.stringify(object)

ytdl is not defined.are you blind
you defined it as ytdl

javascript is case sensitive
ytdl is not the same as YTDL

copper cradle
yeah
first get the current date and the length of the video
then do some math to get the remaining time
I don't remember the formula for that
fickle arch
i mean like
playing (apps name/watching servers) elapsed times : xx:xx.
sudden geyser
Make sure you're saving the IDs as a string.
lethal hawk
Can't I save them as numbers? Because I have to compare them to server ID's I get from the discord API and those are decimal
fickle arch
oh lol my bot could play but can't stop xd.
sudden geyser
Why would a server ID be a decimal?
lethal hawk
Sorry, I mean integer :D
something lost in translation
sudden geyser
is the ID not a string itself? Are you using a library? What language are you using (I assume js from the screenshot)?
lethal hawk
I use discord.js and just looked in their docs. The ID is indeed a string, so that solves my issue. Thanks for pointing that out.
never the less, If I would like to store a large integer via LowDB, it will not be possible?
fickle arch
var server = servers[message.guild.id];
if (server.dispatcher) server.dispatcher.end();
break;```
skip commands stop music and not skipping to other and also stop commands doesn't do anything
```case "stop":
var server = servers[message.guild.id];
if (message.guild.voiceConnection) message.guild.voiceConnection.disconnect();
break;```ytdl is not define
but i have const ytdl = require('ytdl-core')
@fickle arch i already have this
sudden geyser
I use discord.js and just looked in their docs. The ID is indeed a string, so that solves my issue. Thanks for pointing that out.
never the less, If I would like to store a large integer via LowDB, it will not be possible?
@lethal hawk JavaScript is rounding the number because it's an overflow of what's allowed.
fickle arch
@pure lion fixed already but thanks.
sudden geyser
That's why you should store it as a string or use BigInt (it's new but I don't know what it does in detail).
lethal hawk
Ok, thanks for the good response!
pure lion
@fickle arch but i need help
fickle arch
jeez my music scriptpretty messed up
firstly my skip function stop the current music and not skipping to the next one
second my play function when added another music it stop the current play
third my queue function doesn't work xd.
pure lion
oh
mossy vine
okay so in mongodb i have the following document structure {id: 1234, nodes: [{from: 1, to: 2}, {from: 2, to: 1}]} how could i query the node objects based on only the to or from value?
sudden geyser
@pure lion what is your issue (as in the problem you're having)?
pure lion
im not sure how to phrase it
fickle arch
what does erela.js used for ?.
pure lion
@sudden geyser connection.play isn't defined even though i have the correct npm packs installed and set as a constant
fickle arch
show the error.
pure lion
alright
sick cloud
@mossy vine maybe fetch them all and do a find on them if its practical
const docs = // docs from mongodb
const item = docs.find(doc => {
const val = doc.nodes.find(node => node.from === 1 && node.to === 2);
return val;
});
@pure lion are your code same like this ?
server.dispatcher = connection.play(ytdl(server.queue[0], {filter: "audioonly"}));
pure lion
yeah
earnest phoenix
Hey can someone help me? my little brain cannot understand this.
pure lion
but connection.play are showing as "any" when i hover my mouse over them
Hey can someone help me? my little brain cannot understand this.
@earnest phoenix what with?
sick cloud
don't use that @pure lion
fickle arch
what.
sick cloud
you're not using typescript so djs won't show it properly, just use the docs
pure lion
im looking at the docs rn
sick cloud
whats your issue
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix what with?
@pure lion So i am trying to make a currentprefix command and this is what i have used.
client.on("message", (message) => {
if (message.content === ("/currentprefix")) {
message.channel.send(`Your current prefix is ${fetched}`);
}
})```
Now there is an error that says `fetched` is not defined even though i have defined it here:
```js
let fetched = await db.fetch(`prefix_${message.guild}`);
@sick cloud i had issues where my skip function turned into stopping music, play function stop the current music playing.
sick cloud
show code
fickle arch
can i show it on dm ?.
sick cloud
no, send it here
fickle arch
alright wait.

@fickle arch you can't have rich presence on a bot

skip function
```case "skip":

break;```
stop function
```case "stop":
var server = servers[message.guild.id];
if (message.guild.voiceConnection) message.guild.voiceConnection.disconnect();
break;```stop function literally doesn't working because skip function actually stop the current music.
sick cloud
if (server.dispatcher) server.dispatcher.end();
well that's why?
you're ending the music
midnight blaze
I have a list like this in my json.
{ "test": [{"name":"test","age":"number"},{..}]}

midnight blaze
ah, ok thanks โค๏ธ

alright its working now
fickle arch
so i need to replace skip with stop and delete the voiceconnection.disconnect() ?.
fickle arch
when playing music the music that been played is replaced with other music.

So i am trying to make a currentprefix command and this is what i have used.
client.on("message", (message) => {

}
})```
Now there is an error that says `fetched` is not defined even though i have defined it here:
```js
let fetched = await db.fetch(`prefix_${message.guild}`);
can someone help me?
lethal hawk
try using var fetched instead of let fetched
fickle arch
like custom prefix ?.
earnest phoenix
yea i have a working custom prefix command but i am trying to make a currentprefix command in case someone forgets their prefix
try using
var fetchedinstead oflet fetched
@lethal hawk will do
fickle arch
well before i had function that when you mention bot like (namehere) current prefix it would shown the prefix.
lethal hawk
When I synchronize a voice channels permissions with its parent category using channel.lockPermissions().catch(console.error) (discord.js) I get the following discord API error.
Note that the bot does have the 'Manage Channels' permission in its role and the permissions are synced as they are supposed to.

hi

That's a bit rude
earnest phoenix
nothing beats rudeness more than me yelling at my teammate because his frontend design attempt sucks
anyway
whats your problem
digital ibex
how can i check the users which have a certain role from an array of strings? so its like ```js
let array = ['role 1', 'role 2'];
Ok so I'm using the ms npm pack for a timed mute, it's doing it in milliseconds so how do I make it last seconds and not milliseconds
earnest phoenix
try multiplying by 1000
earnest phoenix
damn
pure lion

what
digital ibex
wdym "how do I make it last seconds and not milliseconds"
grizzled raven
what did you try
earnest phoenix
dont know much about d.js development, im more of a py guy so
grizzled raven
1000ms = 1s
earnest phoenix
that's not how that works
digital ibex
uh
pale vessel
array is not a number
steel drum
i mis interpreted the question
digital ibex
that won't be how u do it
steel drum
you should specify what you are using then
pale vessel
still wrong though
pale vessel
no
steel drum
i thought he meant a user having those roles
pale vessel
the answer is still wrong despite you misinterpreted the question
steel drum
provide the correct solution then
digital ibex
earnest phoenix
i'm too high for this shit
pale vessel
just debug
digital ibex
no ik how to get the members roles & stuff, i just can't seem to filter it to which role & the members in tht role
quartz kindle
users that have any of the roles in the list, or users that have all roles in the list?
digital ibex
any role in the list
pale vessel
some, ig
quartz kindle
if a user has any role of the list, or find all users that have any role of the list?
quartz kindle
guild.members.filter(member => member.roles.some(role => arrayofroles.includes(role)))
digital ibex
oh
quartz kindle
but keep in mind that you are limited by the members existing in the cache
uncached members will not be found
digital ibex
when i was doing it, it would return an empty array, i'll try and use it
ty, i cache all users

you can enable cacheAllUsers in client options but memory
my bot is small so i have that enabled for now
and i didn't read haha
