what I meant was the way I've put the addRole INSIDE the promise

remember that promises run in parallel, so most of the time you'll not be able to get the promise value directly
so you gotta put the code that'll use the returned value inside a .then() clause

How do I make it so "on_ready()" is only called once in discord.py?
@sullen salmon in discord js that's called likeclient.once('ready', so maybe try once instead of on.

@sullen salmon idk if it works though
silent berry

it's easier now than later

oh the js docs also don't show that, it's not a very popular thing or something
silent berry
now to figure out what in my code i need to edit
nocturne grove
so you can still try it haha
sullen salmon
Doesn't work sadl
lyric mountain
client.on('ready') will only be called when your bot has booted up
so only once per restart
nocturne grove
that's not true I understood
sullen salmon
No that calls whenever it's ready which can be multiple times
Only client.once('ready') ensures it's called only once
nocturne grove
it will also get called when your client reconnects or something
sullen salmon
But it doesn't seem like this feature exists in discord.py
nocturne grove
yes but you can always try. It's not in the js docs too

client.on('ready') will only be called when your bot has booted up

If deliver is an async function, should this loop call the function, wait, then move on and do it again etc? Or do I need to specifically make deliver return a promise?
quartz kindle
if its an async function, it automatically returns a promise
true ravine
Yeah that's what I read on mdn but it appears they all called at once last time that code ran
quartz kindle
does your deliver function have any async logic in it? such as loading stuff from a website
true ravine
No but it relies on some other functions, one of which does
All other functions it uses return promises though
And they are handled with then blocks
quartz kindle
they have to be awaited as well
once you use then, that part of the code will not be considered anymore for the waiting

Oh that would make sense based on the output I got

I am trying to cache stuff to take load off the database.
When a new guild is seen, the bot should cache the relevant properties of each sql table. I also want to load into cache the info i have on every guildmember, when loading the guild.
Now it would be nice to add to my client objects guild/channel/role/member items a new property AppData where i cache my stuff, so i have my own and discords cache at one place. But as guildmembers should never all be cached by discord.js on guild load, i cannot do this for those. Is there any workaround for this, without discord.js caching all guildmembers on startup?
The alternative would be make my own Collection of guilds for caching, would this be a good idea?

Store an array in config.json like blacklisted: [id1, id2, ...]
Require the file with require()

exports.help = {

and check the blacklisted property like blacklisted.includes()
earnest phoenix
that would be my code for a file
sudden geyser
Are you doing that for every command file? Why not in the single message event?
sudden geyser
It may be two years old but as long as you have knowledge on JS it should be straight forward. Simply check if the user is blacklisted in your message on event.

okie
as well i just got a error saying this is undefined

@quartz kindle - Sorry to ping you again. Any idea how to send a message embed using eval? Lol
quartz kindle
build the embed on the destination, ie: inside the eval code
paper phoenix
Right, but how do I access discord.MessageEmbed in the eval?
quartz kindle
or define a function in the shards, and call the function from the eval
you need to either have discord defined in the shards, or require it inside the eval code

anyone know how to retrieve the number of users on all of the guilds that my bot is in?

astral yoke
make sure all of the peoples are cached though
graceful dock
oh, cant i use something with the ctx.bot.guilds?T
like members in ctx.bot.guilds.members
or anything like that
astral yoke
for this
const client = new Client()
add
({ fetchAllMembers: true })
so its like this
astral yoke
const client = new Client({ fetchAllMembers: true })
amber fractal
you will be missed
astral yoke
lmao agree
amber fractal
should just iterate the memberCount property of each guild (in d.js)
astral yoke
^
amber fractal
the fact they use ctx indicates probably python
graceful dock
im using python ye
astral yoke
oh then
graceful dock
yes
amber fractal
Iterate your guilds and add up the member_count of each guild
it returns the count of members regardless of cache
it'll be the most accurate
paper phoenix
({ fetchAllMembers: true })
@astral yoke - That won't work come October unless you're verified

since it appears in the new list
yeah lol
@white sentinel that error wont be thrown in that code
u havent referenced message anywhere there
white sentinel
how tdo i reference it in that way
paper phoenix
There's not much competition for mine though:
https://top.gg/tag/rocket-league
(Rocket Planet)
white sentinel
@white anvil how would i reference it
amber fractal
@graceful dock Each guild has the property member_count, you should loop over each guild and add up that property
paper phoenix
^ That won't get you unique users, though. Could have someone in multiple mutual servers
amber fractal
well if you want to cache all users and kill your ram usage for a more accurate member count be my guest
paper phoenix
this also wont work if you dont request all members
@white anvil - You can still access member count without having all cached/requesting all

rain jacinth
can i have help, i try doing custom prefix cmd but when i change it ut lets any prefix work
https://hastebin.com/maxexejuvo.js the whole index.js file
my whole prefix.js file
warm marsh
Because you don't have a check
rain jacinth
Whaaat
warm marsh
under the prefix line you should have something like if !message.content.startsWith
rain jacinth
On which file??
warm marsh
index
rain jacinth
rain jacinth
if(!message.content.startsWith);
warm marsh
let prefix = prefixes[messageg.guild.id].prefixes;
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix)) {
// Put command running stuff in here
}```
warm marsh
You need to put the if (!prefixes[]) bit above let prefix
rain jacinth
warm marsh
Yes like that. Take a look at the link I sent.
rain jacinth
is mine right tho
warm marsh
Yeah it is.
rain jacinth
warm marsh
Look for a missing } or )
Remove the ! before message.content
Otherwise the stuff inside that if statement won't work.
rain jacinth
still doesn't work
warm marsh
Same error?
warm marsh
Send what you have in index.js file now
rain jacinth
warm marsh
Put everything from line 53 to 79 into the if statement
53 - 79 into the if (message.content.startsWith(prefix)) { // here }
rain jacinth
what?
warm marsh
Everything from line 53 to 79 put where the //here is
rain jacinth
warm marsh
Yes where that // here is replace it with everything from line 53 to 79
rain jacinth
so put everything in that bracket
earnest phoenix
Or you can just require the json file and tell it to require the text inside the bracket instead of doing it so confusingly
warm marsh
What you just said makes less sense.
earnest phoenix
Why exactly
warm marsh
Tell a JSON file to require another file.
rain jacinth
warm marsh
yes
rain jacinth
like that
warm marsh
Yeah
rain jacinth
do you know stuff about custom log channel cmd @warm marsh ?
warm marsh
I've done it in the past.
earnest phoenix
Like logging certain actions?
rain jacinth
https://gyazo.com/6cf8620c9576f4e3e3826bf098f121a8 i have this and idk what to do next and basically what i'm trying to do is imagine you have to have a channel called aciton logs to have logs working, well i'm trying to do as you can change the location of logs to another channel
clear wraith
How can i get it to tag the role?
warm marsh
Just setting the default logs channel?
@clear wraith Language and Lib?
Rami you should probably look into using a sqlite3 database or something
JSON is very bad.
It's not made for being constantly edited.
Roman <@id>
not @<id>
rain jacinth
well, idrc about that tbh, i'm just tryna make a custom log channel cmd, i'vebeen using json for a while and it works fine
warm marsh
Alright.
It's kinda the same as your prefix one.
Just make sure they mention a channel
then store it.
rain jacinth
idrk what to do next:(
warm marsh
Idk what you're trying to do and yeah learning a bit more might help with the "how" side.
earnest phoenix
You can always go on stackflow as well
They have some really useful threads on discord.js
warm marsh
Might be out-dated now though.
rain jacinth
basically imagine you need a channel names staff logs to have logs working but i want to make it as you can change thta location to another channel like staff logs to admin chat
warm marsh
Some concepts might still work but the methods and properties, etc.. might have changed.
I know how logging works.
earnest phoenix
Yeah but atleast it gives a basic idea
warm marsh
Just listen to the events
check if the guild has a logs channel
if so send the message
Do you have a log feature setup or not?
rain jacinth
yes i have logs feature ste up
warm marsh
The changing of the channel is really easy to do, Literally almost the same way as your prefix changer.
warm marsh
Yeah

If the API is setup correctly you can catch an error and console log the response 🤷🏻♂️@lime torrent

Hey. In the following code, the concerned user has voted and it's week-end. The console confirms that it has detected that indeed the user has voted and it's weekend. But the embed isn't modified. Did I make a mistake?
dbl.hasVoted(msg.author.id).then(voted => {
dbl.isWeekend().then(weekend => {
// \/\/\/\/
if (weekend && voted) { console.log(`voted & weekend`); topggEmbed.addField(`🎉 Yaay, it's weekend! Earn bonuses by voting!`, `✅ You have already voted in the past 12 hours`) }
// /\/\/\/\
if (weekend && voted === false) { topggEmbed.addField(`🎉 Yaay, it's weekend! Earn bonuses by voting!`, `⚠️ You haven't voted in the past 12 hours`) }
if (weekend === false && voted) { topggEmbed.addField(`❎ It isn't week-end yet. Wait for friday!`, `✅ You have already voted in the past 12 hours`) }
if (weekend === false && voted === false ){ topggEmbed.addField(`❎ It isn't week-end yet. Wait for friday!`, `⚠️ You haven't voted in the past 12 hours`) }
});
});```
I have already tried to use `topggEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed(topggEmbed).addField('...')`btw, topggEmbed is declared and used above this part of code
I think i've found why it doesn't work
The API takes time to get the values
When I got the values, the embed is already sent. But I can't use await here... How could I do this ?
no need to answer thx
i've found
:)
I used this: js let voted = await dbl.hasVoted(msg.author.id) let weekend = await dbl.isWeekend()

how long do you guys normally spend on designing elements? like, changing placement or format of text in embeds etc.
spice smelt
Since embeds are prety simple (author, title, color, description, fields, footer), I don't spend much time on them. But recently I've found bots that send very strange embeds (I couldn't define what is a field or a description), so these times I'm trying to figure out their secret xD

with .setURL, you'll add a URL on the Title. Not very practical. If you want to set a link in a field or the description, you can do this: js '[click here!](http://this.is.the/url "this is the text when you hover the link")'

quartz kindle
if the bot joined a guild with 500 channels, it could happen that someone edited or deleted a channel while your bot was fetching them lol
you could change the logic to check for permissions inside the for loop
quartz kindle
its a missing access error
can happen because you dont have view channel permission
earnest phoenix
oh i see yeah someone could've changed permissions for the channel
while looping
quartz kindle
for(let [id,channel] of guild.channels.cache) {
if(channel.permissionsFor(guild.me).has([a,b,c])) {
await channel.messages.fetch()
}
}
hmm okay thanks
but could that really take 7 minutes? Also, I don't think it had a lot of channels
but I will try that instead 👍
earnest phoenix
i don't know if node has something like that, but in mutlithreaded langs you can just offload the async tasks to another thread, so the for loop just queues the task and forgets about it without blocking itself from continuing
ok a quick google search it does
look up the fire and forget pattern if you're interested
nocturne grove
isn't that just a foreach?
earnest phoenix
if you mean the forEach method
kind of
forEach is super slow compared to a native for loop though
nocturne grove
but I can just do what Tim said right?
earnest phoenix
yeah
nocturne grove
yeah I hear that often from you haha I transferred some
earnest phoenix
i was just noting if you don't want the for loop to block you can follow the fire and forget pattern
nocturne grove
oh okay. Well I can read about it. Thanks

is "this" a thing in js?
coral trellis
Yes
earnest phoenix
understandable

coral trellis
Is client users attached to this?
viral spade
xignotic can you help me

In node.js discord.js, is there an easy way to let all shards share the same db (mysql) connection pool (possibly in the sharding managers process) ?
fickle arch
ahhh okay i get it.
viral spade
I thought of redirecting queries via ipc. but i did not manage to "await" return values from messages i send from a shard to the sharding manager using the libraries own functions / using node-ipc.
fickle arch
thanks for the solution xd.
earnest phoenix
:)
fickle arch
how to make send a dms to person to notice that they got kick/ban from a server ?
rain jacinth
my level.js file
hasty sparrow
@viral spade If all shards share the same connection pool, then you could end up with one shard could starving all others
rain jacinth
@earnest phoenix what do i do and on which file
fickle arch
mines look like this on kick and ban to.
so just add toBan.Send like that ?
the reason not string doesn't work.
viral spade
@hasty sparrow True, but on the other hand this way it can balnce in a way that one shard that needs more get more from those who dont at that time.
hasty sparrow
Make sure to send the DM before the user is kicked/banned
fickle arch
yes i mean how i tried my friend code but it instead sending error.
viral spade
@hasty sparrow more importantly, i dont need one connection per shard per database
hasty sparrow
How many databases do you have?
viral spade
only two for testing purposes, but i want to design it in a way that i can have multiple.
for the long term
hasty sparrow
Are we talking multiple databases on one or multiple servers?
viral spade
multiple servers, one db per server
hasty sparrow
Odd design choice
hasty sparrow
Depends on your use case, but a single (no)sql server can easily manage multiple databases
viral spade
i mean its the same scheme, the guild data is sharded accross these databases
hasty sparrow
You might not even need multiple databases (like 1 per shard/guild is wasteful)
hasty sparrow
So that's like 100 idle connections to each db server, no big deal and much faster than having to create new connections cause the shared pool is empty
Not to mention the fact that you can't really share the pool to start with
hasty sparrow
Get to a 1000 shards and then worry about these kind of things, chances are other parts of your bot will fail before then
fickle arch
wait is member.user.tag mean to tag the person or it's user.tag to tag the person i'm a little bit confused because member.user.tag only shown the name and the tag but not pinged them.
hasty sparrow
What db are you using?
viral spade
mysql
i know it can handle that many connections. its just too much ram, when say 10 bot servers à 100 shard exist, and each shard connects to all 10 databases.
earnest phoenix
@fickle arch the docs are your saviours during difficult moments
hasty sparrow
Why would each shard connect to all databases though?
fickle arch
@earnest phoenix
for example it's
`${member.user.tag} Has been muted.${
reason ? ` Reason ${reason}` : ""```
so i changed it to this ?
```return msg.sendMessage(
`${member.user} Has been muted.${
reason ? ` Reason ${reason}` : ""```because what guild is on what shard changes when increasing shards
fickle arch
it's sure to ping the person right ?
viral spade
so possibly, most likely each shard of 1000 guild will have at least one guild on each db server
hasty sparrow
The only way to share the connection between shards that I can think of right now would be to have all querying be done by a separate/parent process
fickle arch
tag is same with id or it's different ?
viral spade
Right but as i said, i cannot find a way (node-ipc, d.js build in sharding messaging) to send a message and wait for the results
hasty sparrow
How would you even determine which server has which guild, if the shard a guild is in changes when the bot grows?
viral spade
first time a guild is seen it caches the location
fickle arch
@earnest phoenix shown this xd.
viral spade
it caches location from coordinator server
fickle arch
return msg.sendMessage(
`@${member.user.id} Has been kicked.${
reason ? ` Reason : ${reason}` : ""```before i write member.user.tag instead of id.
let me replace tag with id
oh wait there's none.
like this ?
if (member.id === msg.author.id) throw "You cannot kick yourself.";
if (member.id === this.client.user.id) throw "I cannot kick myself.";
if (member.roles.highest.position >= msg.member.roles.highest.position)
throw "You cannot kick this user.";
if (!member.kickable) throw "I cannot kick this user.";
await member.kick(reason);
return msg.sendMessage(
`@${member.user.tag} Has been kicked.${
reason ? ` Reason : ${reason}` : ""```@viral spade You could send your payload along with a unique identifier to the other process, register a callback with this identifier in your sharded process and when the shard receives a message/the result, check the identifier and call the registered callback with the returned payload/query result
viral spade
interesting, but i would need to transfer guild, client etc. objects
to be able to keep on working after the callback has returned
fickle arch
@earnest phoenix i already make it into level 6 (people who have kick perm)
define i already tag the person it works before but it doesn't ping them only shown their name and tag but not ping
third the user is below mods.
viral spade
As an alternative, what would you say about making one connection per query. The most critical part is that i need to cache the guildmember info i have (not much, a few properties) to the clients guildmember object, when that user first writes a message or talks in a voicechannel.
