How to randomly select an item from a list?

Assume I have the following list:

foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
What is the simplest way to retrieve an item at random from this list?

oh lord

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

.list isn't a thing

#

list is a built-in function from Python itself

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

oh

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

You can just pass memes as argument to random.choice without any need for list

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

so random.choice.memes?

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

argument for a function

#

aka function(argument)

#

If you did choice.memes, you'd say "memes is a property of choice"
but you need memes to be an argument of choice

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

now i did random.choice(memes) but i guess thats still not correct

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

That looks correct

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

it gave me the listing generator has no len error again

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

oh well, list(memes)

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

so random.list(memes)?

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

No, list(memes) will be the argument for function choice

#

You basically convert the ListingGenerator to a list, and then choose a random element

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

ok so i did random.choice(list(memes))

#

but for some strange reason now my async def on_ready has an error

Most people don't go with .NET
@vivid crescent
cpp is not a part of .net

#

c#, q#, f# and vb are

vivid crescent May 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

Alright my bad

#

(Thanks for letting me know) But anyway still; if they are fine to code in that language it shouldn't be an issue

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

it is an issue

#

all code

📎 message.txt

#

you often don't go with cpp for discord bots because it's very hard to implement a websocket handler in such a low level language

#

that's why all of the cpp libs are abandoned

#

it's really hard to keep up with gateway changes and implement them in cpp

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 2:10 PM

@earnest phoenix Add one more closing parenthesis in the list(memes) stuff

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 2:10 PM

oh god

it only sends the final part of the url now

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 2:11 PM

wat

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

so only gly47l

#

not what is supposed to come in front

slender thistle May 18, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

Probably what PRAW returns

#

So just add the base URL before blobshrug

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

but that is a problem

#

since some memes are gifs

#

praw did return it correctly before when it just sent 100 memes

@slender thistle praw sends the full url

@digital ibex didnt you ask that before? whats your current code?

#

@hardy vector wdym the css for it wont show?

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

let r = message.channel.guild.members.map((e) => message.channel.guild.roles.get(e));
message.channel.guild.members.map((e) => e.roles.include(r))
``` i asked before, yeah, then i had to go

the color for it

#

and the button border/color

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 3:25 PM

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 3:25 PM

i edited it

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 3:27 PM

still kinda makes no sense, you're remapping members into roles, but using the member to get a role?

#

then remapping again?

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

well, yeah. since that is what i would do since i've only got an array of id's

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

does guild.roles.get(member) gets you a list of roles that the member has?

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

uh, lemme try it

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

and if it does, why not simply using member.roles which does the same thing according to the docs

#

have you tried what i said yesterday? members.filter(member => member.roles.some(role => arrayofroleids.includes(role)))

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

yeah

#

it just returns an empty array

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 3:32 PM

message.guild.roles.cache.get(message.member) returns undefined, @quartz kindle

message.channel.guild.members.filter(member => member.roles.some(role => guild.mod.roles.includes(role).id))
``` is what i done , `guild.mod.roles` is an array like `message.channel.guild.roles`

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

remove .id

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 3:33 PM

even tho i wasnt listening to any event

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

ah ha, it returns a massive array, so i have to do ...includes(role)[0].wahever

#

so

#

i done js message.channel.guild.members.filter(member => member.roles.some(role => guild.mod.roles.includes(role))).map((e) => e.roles.includes('703361344312967212')) and that returns ```js

[discord.js] How do I disconnect the bot from a voice channel?

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/VoiceConnection?scrollTo=disconnect

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

My bot has to delete a voice channel, but I get the API error below as response and the channel does not delete. The bot is added in the channels permissionOverwrites and has VIEW_CHANNEL and MANAGE_CHANNEL. How can I solve this, besides giving the bot administrator(which does solve the issue)

well does the bot have delete messages perms?

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

@lethal hawk a bot requires CONNECT and MANAGE_CHANNEL to manage the channel

#

oh it's MANAGE_CHANNELS btw

lethal hawk May 18, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

that solves it, I thought seeing the channel and managing was enough.
Thanks for the help

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

no. Np

#

So VIEW_CHANNEL is not needed, really vague tho

turbid bough May 18, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

you do need it

#

but its default on

#

for @ everyone

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

no

#

I even tested it today, to check if my bot still was okay

turbid bough May 18, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

No i mean, if you make it so @everyone cant see that channel, the bot can neither see it

#

but if you add that to the permissions, then the bot is able to see it

#

i think

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

oh yes of course

#

but still, bots will always know each channel's name and id

btw, I saw guild.deleted can be changed over time, it will just change the object when the guild is not in client.guilds anymore. Does this also count for guild.available? Will that automatically change on existing objects?

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 4:29 PM

you have to setup a database

i understand

you could either host it locally or check some paid options

I am thinking about adding an url shortener to my bot, but is it allowed to lock some features behind voting? (For example: Password locked url, auto qr codes, etc)

is it allowed to lock some features behind voting?
yes and it is encouraged

btw, I saw guild.deleted can be changed over time, it will just change the object when the guild is not in client.guilds anymore. Does this also count for guild.available? Will that automatically change on existing objects?
anyone who can confirm this?

9 Ways To Remove ğŸ—‘ï¸ Elements From A JavaScript Array ğŸ“‡[Exam...

Removing & Clearing Items From JavaScript arrays can be confusing. Splice, substring, substr, pop, shift & filter can be used. Learn how they differ and work.

#

you could use slice

#

or

#

var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
delete fruits[0];           // Changes the first element in fruits to undefined

#

something like this

#

https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_array_methods.asp

#

go here

#

and read

#

actually dont use delete

#

use slice

#

var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
fruits.splice(0, 1);        // Removes the first element of fruits

#

here is an example

#

0 is where it starts

#

and 1 is how many elements to remove

#

so if you wanna remove 2 after the index of 3

#

its array.slice(3, 2)

#

array.indexOf()

#

yes

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

what's your code

#

and what are you storing in the array

#

discord send my damn message

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

What would be a smart way of making this async? I'm still kinda new to async but still

const helpList = [];
client.commands.forEach(function(value, key, map) {
    helpList.push(`${key} = ${value.description}`)
})
msg.reply(arr)```

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

why would you make it async

#

also don't use forEach it's slow

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

oh

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

use the for keyword

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

hmm

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

(async function(value, key, map)

#

TJ

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

ye

halcyon ember May 18, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

is there way to get all servers bot is in?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

async forEach is a very bad idea

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

I'm not going to do the forEach i'm rethinking it now

client.commands is a map

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

client.guilds

halcyon ember May 18, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

oh thanks,

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

what difference with map and collection?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

collection extends map

#

which means collection is built on top of map to include more functionality

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

I think collection better than map

valid frigate May 18, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

its been on the back of my mind for a while but how would i handle timed events in the most reasonable way possible? aka something other than setting timeouts e.g. for mutes/timed rewards etc

#

like

#

run a loop or smth idk how to go about this really

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

a timeout is the only reliable way

#

however you can make a mix of timeouts and intervals

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

@valid frigate make a database with timestamps and check every minute / 5 minutes which one should happen

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

or just like

halcyon ember May 18, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

how to remove floats past 2 decimal places

valid frigate May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

well imagine if the bot's process gets interrupted

halcyon ember May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

like crop off the ending numbers

valid frigate May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

the timeout would also go poof?

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

on boot get all of the entries from the database and queue a setTimeout for each entry

#

substring lol

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

.toFixed(2) will crop the number, but will also convert it into a string

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

GWlulurdMegaLul

valid frigate May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

sounds like a good idea

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

if you dont want string convertion, the only way is parseInt(number * 100) / 100

valid frigate May 18, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

so like store a timestamp and when the bot starts again, run over each document and start a timeout counting down till that time

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

why on boot? Then you can't add new timestamps to it

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

yes... you can?

valid frigate May 18, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

well technicaly yes you can

#

just start a new timeout after inserting the doc

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

just queue a new setTimeout and add the entry into the database

#

yes

#

lol

valid frigate May 18, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

ok cool thank you

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

ok but why xd
I'd do it the other way bot sure

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

to reduce database load

#

and you can cancel each timeout

#

just from memory

#

(in case someone decides to unmute, unban etc)

#

since temporary actions like bans and mutes need to be accurate to the second, the approach of queueing a new setTimeout for each entry is more viable

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

the most efficient way possible would be something like this

setInterval(() => {
  if(dateToUnmute < Date.now() + 600000) {
     setTimeout(() => {
      unmute()
     }, dateToUnmute - Date.now())
  }
}, 600000)

#

you can mix that with a database and adjust the timers to your preference

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

Why should they be precise? I mean: does 4:00:10 or 4:00:56 make a difference?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

imagine you want to mute someone for 1 minute

#

and they only get unmuted after 1 minute and 50 seconds

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

lol

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Yeah okay but 1 min is weird haha

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

it really isn't

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

i mean, sure you can do that

#

but people kinda expect bots to be precise

rare shadow May 18, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Sup

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

1 minute tempmutes etc. are warning signs for "hey you should maybe calm down" or something like that, if your bot isn't accurate, don't expect people to use it

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

well, you can always make it a feature

#

name your bot "Approximate Bot"

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Well okay sure 😂

#

You're right

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

"fuck your opinion - i decide the length"

turbid bough May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

well, you just have to temporary store short-timed timers, and if its long-timed then you use a db

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

$mute someone 30 minutes
"Approximate Bot": someone muted for approximately 30 minutes

turbid bough May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

then you retrieve that data

#

just store a datetime

still merlin May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Is there a way i can keep my bot online 24/7

turbid bough May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

and it already will be kinda accurate

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

is there any way for me to get the shard latency for each shard, in eris?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

keep your program running 24/7

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Lol

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

well, you just have to temporary store short-timed timers, and if its long-timed then you use a db
you should always store in the db no matter how short the action is, if a crash happens while the short period is near expiring, well, they're going to stay muted/banned forever

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

like,
shard 0 - 100ms
shard 1 - 10ms
shard 2 - 200ms

turbid bough May 18, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

yeah, imagine muting someone, bot goes offline, and then they will never unmuted

#

@earnest phoenix yeah ofcourse if you are using mutes yeah, but like if you were doing like non-important timers

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

@digital ibex websocket latency can be found in client.shards.get(shardID).latency

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

ah, ty

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Ow wait I also still got a question somewhere

#

btw, I saw guild.deleted can be changed over time, it will just change the object when the guild is not in client.guilds anymore. Does this also count for guild.available? Will that automatically change on existing objects?
This one

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

yes

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

Okay nice

#

For me that sounds really weird tho

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

if you do guild = client.guilds.cache.get() (if you're in djs v12)
then guild is a reference of the original guild, not a copy

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 6:40 PM

Like you store them in a var and it changes

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

so whatever happens to the original guild, your copy of guild will also be affected

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 6:40 PM

python troubles ahaha

ok so essentially i want to be able to choose a random element from a list minus another pre-chosen element
so if i had a list k = [1, 2, 3, 4]
and i randomly choose 2 thru random.choice(k)
then is there a way to do random.choice(k) again but with no chance of it picking 2 again? i need all the elements to still be in the list, but the two random choices must be different
alternatively, as im assigning variables to each element chosen, if there's a way to do so with random.sample id love to know lol

nocturne grove May 18, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

Idk Python really well, but cant you make another array with all indexes of the first apart from the specific choice, get a random thing of that array, and get that index in k array?

dusty onyx May 18, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

ooh, ill try that :0

@earnest phoenix What are you talking about?

#

What is the stack error? Can you paste what it errors on here?

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

no errors

#

when i run the command nothing happen

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

lemme try one sec

#

How do you fire this off? it works for me

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

idk, it just don't work

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

how do you not know? Did you not write this?

This is a module export, how do you call the export itself? Are you calling the run()

#

You need to call the export and fire it off, typically in another file when this is used.

#

let me add it to my testbot I'll show you

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Ok

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

https://i.txj69.com/EFMce2pLYX.png

#

See here

#

I copied your code and it works for me

#

I call my command via module.export and I require() it inside of my index.js and I fire it off using client.commands.get('info').execute(_, msg)

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

Ok

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

btw your memory calculation is wrong

#

heap is different

white anvil May 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

how did you manage to get a bot using 14mb ram

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

I use .rss that way it shows the full process

white anvil May 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

wtf

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

He is doing the math wrong

white anvil May 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

oh

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

used = process.memoryUsage().heapUsed / 1024 / 1024;

white anvil May 18, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

thats heap used

#

right

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

yea

#

lmao

white anvil May 18, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

i know someone that used external to make his usage look small ass

#

it was like 500kb

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

📎 node-js-memory-usage.png

#

useful chart

white anvil May 18, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

yeah

#

rss isnt 100% accurate still tho

#

theres no real way to properly calculate true memory usage

magic jackal May 18, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

my calculation is this

function formatBytes(bytes){
    if (bytes>=1000000000) {bytes=(bytes/1000000000).toFixed(2)+'GB';}
    else if (bytes>=1000000) {bytes=(bytes/1000000).toFixed(2)+'MB';}
    else if (bytes>=1000) {bytes=(bytes/1000).toFixed(2)+'KB';}
    else if (bytes>1) {bytes=bytes+' bytes';}
    else if (bytes==1) {bytes=bytes+' byte';}
    else {bytes='0 byte';}
    return bytes;
}

formatBytes(process.memoryUsage().rss)```

you can probably do this more effectively using base 10 logarithms but math

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

So I'm sorting all of my bot's commands into folders inside of my command folder. At the moment, I use a command handler from An Idiot's Guide tutorial that I followed two years ago; Here's what I currently use to load commands:

const { promisify } = require("util");
const readdir = promisify(require("fs").readdir);
  var commands = await readdir(client.config.commandsroute);
  commands.forEach(f => {
    if (!f.endsWith(".js")) return; // I don't know if subdirectories count as files, so..
    const response = client.loadCommand(f);
    if (response) console.log(response);
  });

How can I do it so the fs module will read from the subdirectories? (I know that I can manually give each category folder its own forEach statement and stuff but I want to have it so the bot'll load the files automatically.)

white anvil May 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

read the parent directory for the subdirectories and read the contents of each subdirectory iteratively

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

alright

white anvil May 18, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

unless you wanna hardcode your subdirectory names

#

which i dont suggest you do

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

I could but that's gonna be a pain if I move it later

white anvil May 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

yea

#

but readdir returns both files and folders

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

Unless if I deliberately make a new Linux user called "pi" and put my folder in the Desktop

#

OH it does

rigid raven May 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

How can I send a message to a server having the id in discord.py?

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

what do you mean @rigid raven

rigid raven May 18, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

i have the bot on my server and i want to send a message every 1hour (for example)

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

In that case, discord.py docs are your best friend

rigid raven May 18, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

yeah, but i didn't see it 😦

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

wdym

#

and Jacher, I don't have a lot of experience with fs; how can I check inside the subdirectories in a forEach?

white anvil May 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

const subDirectories = readDir(parent);
subDirectories.forEach(directory => { const files = readDir(directory); 
// add nested forEach here for files
})

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

you need the id to the text channel too, the guild id alone won't cut it

rigid raven May 18, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

you need the id to the text channel too, the guild id alone won't cut it
@earnest phoenix ohhh, ok

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

what is parent defined as?
would readDir be another thing like this

const { promisify } = require("util");
const readdir = promisify(require("fs").readdir);

but readdir is replaced by readDir?

white anvil May 18, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

u can use readdir

#

parent is just the path to the parent directory

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

oh alright

#

and directory is-okay

how are you able to check like where it came from

instead of just having it as an error

pale vessel May 18, 2020, 9:33 PM

by making sure that your bot has correct permissions

green vale May 18, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

C a t c h it

lyric mountain May 18, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

Every single promise MUST have a catch

#

Else you risk being that lost

#

Where the error happened is written there btw

astral yoke May 18, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

I don't know where the error happened

#

thats the thing

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

you'll have to go over all your code

#

and add catches to all methods that interact with the api

astral yoke May 18, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

Ah

#

I found it

#

since danny said to catch it

#

why is this erroring catch (error) return; SyntaxError: Unexpected token catch ```bot.on("messageDelete", async message => {
let logs = await message.guild.fetchAuditLogs({type: 72});
let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle("DELETED MESSAGE")
.setColor("#fc3c3c")
.addField("Author", message.author.tag, true)
.addField("Channel", message.channel, true)
.addField("Message", message.content)
.setFooter(Message ID: ${message.id} | Author ID: ${message.author.id});
let channel = await bot.db.fetch(modlogchannel_${message.guild.id})
if(channel === null) {
return;
}
bot.channels.get(channel).send({
embed: embed
});
catch (error) return;

})```

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

thats not how you catch things

astral yoke May 18, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

Is it if error or what because catch error worked for my ban code?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

you have 2 promises in that piece of code

#

fetchAuditLogs and send

#

fetchAuditLogs is being awaited, so if that errors, you will receive a normal error

#

send() is not being awaited nor caught, so if that errors, you will receive an unhandled promise rejection

astral yoke May 18, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

which is what I got

#

so should I do for it (channel) await send({ or?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

so if you do await bot.channels.get().send(), the error will become a normal error
if you do bot.channels.get().send().catch(), you will catch the error in the promise

#

so basically

#

// option 1
try {
  await function()
} catch(error) {
  console.log(error)
}

// option 2
function().catch(error => console.log(error))

astral yoke May 18, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

ohhh ahhh

#

makes sense

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

if you await it, it is forced to return to the normal flow, and its error will be converted to a normal error
if its not awaited, then it never returns to the normal flow, so you have to .catch() it to catch the error inside the promise

resource intensive shit should always be ran on its own thread to make it non blocking

this guy said he hosted his bot on his old computer does that mean he has to keep it on 24/7

a raspberry pi is an extremely affordable and efficient way to host a small discord bot at home

astral yoke May 18, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Just invest in a VPS

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

a vps is going to be an order of magnitude cheaper compared to the electricity cost of self-hosting

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

raspberry pi consumes next to no power

#

but i would recommend vps ye

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

a pi can actually be cheaper than a vps ye

#

a single laptop cpu uses 5-10x more power than an entire pi lmao

#

just the cpu

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

i should host my bot on a pi cluster

#

📎 GF13L-bitscope-cluster-module-ZWLJ6PZ3.png

#

one pi per guild :D

#

honestly the only problem with pis is the lack of cooling but for most use cases they shouldnt be getting that hot

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

one pi per guild wtf

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

you can buy this 750 pi cluster

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

you can probably run 1 pi per shard

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

idk why you would but the offer is there

#

yeah probably

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

how much for it?

#

is it preconfigured for shared resources? or do i have to install linux 700 times

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

i have no idea

#

i just got this image off google

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:29 PM

get one of those and resell it as vps hosting

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

i would imagine its shared

#

nah sell it as dedi

#

cheapest dedis on the market

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

but as a vps you can oversell

#

more money

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:30 PM

not to mention the "ram" will be 🐌

white anvil May 18, 2020, 10:31 PM

rip to all the sata ssds that have died a painful death of swap overdose

#

honestly nvme swap isnt even that slow

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:31 PM

you can raid a few nvme's and get about half the speed of actual ram

#

which is more than good enough

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 10:32 PM

but seek time tho?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:32 PM

the noobs who will be buying your hosting wont notice

id still use this over windows server ngl

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 10:33 PM

use some cool tech that keeps hot data on actual ram and delegates the bulk to the ssds

Need a bit of help with this. trying to send a discord private message to users with a certain role. Have everything done, minus the actual sending of the message.

if(command === "test") {
    let user = message.author
    const role = message.guild.roles.cache.get("712058154090758248");
    if (!role) return user.send('That is not a role!');

    let membersWithRole = message.guild.roles.cache.get("712058154090758248").members;
    membersWithRole.client.send("test")
}

#

Have been getting the error "cannot read property send" of undefined, which I expected.

earnest phoenix May 18, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

wait

#

you cant use a members list to send messages, check the docs

#

plus massdming would be considered api abuse afaik

tepid hedge May 18, 2020, 11:36 PM

white anvil May 18, 2020, 11:36 PM

u should be fine if its private

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

you should use a for loop and await send to each user

tepid hedge May 18, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

A collection does not have the property .client
I've been going through docs and anything I can find to try and see what I can do

#

okay well go to the class about guild member manager

digital ibex May 18, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

using a for loop like tim said would work fine

sudden geyser May 18, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

and iterate over the .cache property like tim said and use a for loop

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

role.members already gives you a collection of members, you can iterate directly on it

#

and send to each member in a loop

tepid hedge May 18, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

How do I take out each individual member from membersWithRole and add them to the loop queue?

quartz kindle May 18, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

the easiest way is using a for of loop

#

for(let [id,value] of collection) {
  // do things
}

tepid hedge May 18, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

So put the loop inside that, then send the message?

@tepid hedge membersWithRole is a collection

so for(let [id,value] or membersWithRole) will give you the id and value of each item in the collection

in this case, the id of the member as id, and the member object of the member and value

Then how can i fix the issue

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

n.toFixed(2) if you're fine with converting it to string
parseInt(n * 100) / 100 if you want to keep it as a number

#

then tims way

halcyon ember May 19, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

@quartz kindle if i need to keep it a float with two decimal places do I parseFloat or what

#

cuz i need it precise to like 2 decimal/4 decimal places but parseInt would convert that to integer

#

oh

#

let me try and see

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

multiply by 100 to move 2 digits to the left
parseInt to remove decimals
divide by 100 to move 2 digits back to the right

halcyon ember May 19, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

ahhh

#

makes sense

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

if you want more digits, change 100 to the number of 0s you want digits

clear wraith May 19, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

Idk why it keeps saying i have an error then... If its the same error showing up 300 times a day. And I've tried everything I can do. @earnest phoenix

halcyon ember May 19, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

how do I put it into a function that applies that to every user every min

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

@clear wraith try running enable-pnpm in your glitch terminal/console

clear wraith May 19, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

What will that do?

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

restart and reinstall your project

clear wraith May 19, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

Ok

digital ibex May 19, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

roman, not really relevant to ur problem, but, when i was getting errors with quick.db, i just switched to mongo, 100% recommend

clear wraith May 19, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

I suck at switching

earnest phoenix May 19, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

@clear wraith whats the error?

my code gives user 2 currency every now and then, but somehow it goes into decimal places like 0.00000000001. How do I put what tim did (n.toFixed(2) and parseInt) into a function that does it to every user every few seconds

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

you dont need to do that every few seconds

#

you just need to do that when you actually use those values

halcyon ember May 19, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

oh

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

for example, when putting those values in an embed

#

just do value.toFixed(2) in the embed

halcyon ember May 19, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

ahhh

#

ok that worked pretty well, excpet theres like numbers with excess 0s at the end

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

like 1.00?

#

.toFixed() does that, as its name implies, it fixes the length of the number by adding or removing decimals

@quartz kindle Came back after a bit, im testing out what you said (js for(let [id,value] of collection) { // do things }

If I run console.log as a test, how do I post the values?

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

if you dont want it to affect integers, you need to either ignore them Number.isInteger(n) ? n : n.toFixed(2) or use the math way as explained before parseInt(n * 100) / 100

halcyon ember May 19, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

ah

#

thanks :D

tepid hedge May 19, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

Also got this error along with that:

quartz kindle May 19, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

well of course, you need to put your own collection in there

tepid hedge May 19, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

forgot that I undid that

#

So now I have the bot logging the id, so now all I have to do is set an interval, and then send the message like this?
client.users,get("IDHERE).send("message")
