if you disable presence intent, you wont recieve guild members on guild joins, right?
neat ingot
isnt presence only for user activity? like, their current game and status? why would that be relating to guilds at all? seems silly imo ๐
could be tho idk
grizzled raven
yeah you'd think that
but not subbing to presence intent actually affects quite alot of things
neat ingot
:/
vivid crescent
Presence basically gives you all user info updates
Your member cache is usually outdated without presence, since the bot won't recieve information about users changing their name
Also TheNoob27, the guild_members intent is tied to those events
So those events should be called if you have the guild members intent
neat ingot
wait, so if i dont enable those presences, and i - for example - try to show an embed with a member.username it could* display the old incorrect name?
vivid crescent
Potentially, unless you make a call to discord to retrieve the users info
neat ingot
lmao wth
vivid crescent
Presence gives you all info on user state changes, which includes user info changes ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
It always has the most up-to-date data
neat ingot
usernames tho ๐
like, every bot i would imagine uses a username somehow
for discord to add an intent that will make usernames not be accurate is a joke imo
like, thats the one thing that has to be up to date imo
vivid crescent
Just retrieve the new user info
neat ingot
anything else, sure, fetch the data, but a username should be updated with every ping or w.e
perhaps not every ping
but yea.
vivid crescent
I mean, if you are using the member who sent the message then yeah their data will be up to date
Since the message contains the member instance
I meant if you are grabbing a random user from the member cache, there's no guarantee their info is up to date
neat ingot
yea thats what i mean. i dont mean like, some other members username, but the member who is using the bots commands
ahh yea, mkk thats fair then lol
vivid crescent
Oh, the member using the command should be up-to-date
neat ingot
i had a panik mode there for a minute cause i recently decided to remove anything that required intents lol
plain current
@vivid crescent can i send you some code because i am getting an error saying ReferenceError: bot is not defined
vivid crescent
Send the full error + code here
neat ingot
^
earnest phoenix
thats what this channel is for anyways
plain current
yeah ig
neat ingot
its also better to not request assistance from a specific person as it may limit the people who reply to you. imo
plain current
facts
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const Bot = new Discord.Client();
const token = 'Hidden';
bot.on('ready', () =>{
console.log('This Bot is Active');
})
bot.on('Message', msg=>{
if (msg.content === "HELLO" ){
msg.reply("HELLO FRIEND!!!");
}
})
bot.login(token);
vivid crescent
Bot not bot ^^
plain current
man im dumb thanks for the help
neat ingot
np ๐
vivid crescent
Np lol
neat ingot
programming is always case sensitive, its always best to make sure your using correct spellings and case ๐
earnest phoenix
which is why you will sometimes see stuff like
let Client = Discord.Client;
let client = new Client();
Do events need to be lowercase as well? Will that message event work?
earnest phoenix
i think javascript is case sensitive all the time so ig
vivid crescent
I don't use djs ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
neat ingot
earnest phoenix
same i switched to eris
neat ingot
seems they have whats it? camel case? for some events
camel case with a lower case intiial letter?
vivid crescent
lowercamelcase
neat ingot
idk what thats called lol
vivid crescent
Called lower camel case ๐
neat ingot
fair enough ๐
plain current
damn thats all it need
earnest phoenix
?
plain current
im am dumb thanks for the help also
vivid crescent
It's ok, we all start somewhere
earnest phoenix
no ur not dumb, ur just starting

in discord.py i have a command that i want to reply to your message when you do b!info but i keep getting error messages. can someone help with how to get it to send these messages in response to the command?
neat ingot
can barely get by with regular css ๐
sick cloud
nope i got it nvm
@earnest phoenix renders pages on the front end not the back end
so page changes are instant for eg
earnest phoenix
thx
glacial thicket
oh thanks, im a bit confused by the usage, could you give an example please?@vivid crescent
sick cloud
which of these should i do for something like loading a list of blog posts
Fetching After Navigation: perform the navigation first, and fetch data in the incoming component's lifecycle hook. Display a loading state while data is being fetched.
Fetching Before Navigation: Fetch data before navigation in the route enter guard, and perform the navigation after data has been fetched.```why are you making a bot send so many messages for one command devin? wont that be api abuse?
neat ingot
bot.send("line1\nline2")
vivid crescent
Yeah
sick cloud
should i show the page and then display the posts , or only show the page when done
vivid crescent
Like that
glacial thicket
okay thanks, sorry im new to coding, i have commands that work but they all rely on message.content.startswith and im trying to change them all to actual commands
vivid crescent
Quantum you can show the page with a loading icon ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
neat ingot
^
page load faster, data load after, show loading icon in meantime.
whenever i show posts i have a modal window appear with a loading icon in it and then that window displays the data.
^discuss also does the same
disqus*
glacial thicket
i dont see where the error is??
earnest phoenix
https://dbl.is-stinky.wtf/xgizrouuwv.png theres your error probably
you're missing the n for the line break presumably
glacial thicket
earnest phoenix
yeah dont use ' inbetween these i think
a line break should be a part of the actual string
vivid crescent
Need to join your strings
glacial thicket
my ping command doesnt even work, is it the bot.send('pong') that is wrong??
sorry for asking so many questions, i just dont know why it isnt working
neat ingot
also, is that a . at the end of your line in between ' and ) ?
glacial thicket
yeah it was, i fixed it and the error still showed up
glacial thicket
im not sure but i might need to update. ill do that now
plain current
so i got my code to work but it for some reason will not work When i try to use the command i set
vivid crescent
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx, *, arg):
await ctx.send(arg)
sudden geyser
is it not self-explanatory?
vivid crescent
You need await
plain current
hm thats not what the tutorial showed at all lol
glacial thicket
jesus christ im an idiot, thank you
vivid crescent
Role mentions in embeds don't trigger the mention right?
earnest phoenix
unless the mention is on the actual message above the embed, then that user/role will get mentioned
vivid crescent
So in the fields its fine
earnest phoenix
yeah

anyone know
why this dosent work

I can work it out to prevent bots from getting xp??
just check if the user is a bot or not

how can i do that?

uneven monolith
Im wondering if there is a way to run code from a command you type in discord... Is it possible?
strong tundra
yeah
a bunch of bots have repl commands
if you use js or python iirc it's not hard to add one
uneven monolith
Ok, I have no idea where to start to make that command. I would love help!
Sorry if it sounds a little rude, i was trying to think of a way to say it without making it sound like that, im using discord.js
strong tundra
yeah
i haven't done any of this stuff in a while as my bot i'm currently working on is made with a compiled lang
๐
earnest phoenix
evals are for noobs, hardcoding it and recompiling is for pros 
amber fractal
I made a command to make a command because I'm lazy
earnest phoenix
i made a command that autoclones from github, and start the bot with the new code
strong tundra
i could just start up a docker container containing the eval bot and then close it when it's done

this just started happening with everything i code

you are lmao

omg i am so sorry

big brain
earnest phoenix
@spice pasture you having quite the big developer stroke right there
spice pasture
WAIT WHAT
AHAHAHAA
ok
im not insane
ok
i swear
my ise
ide
just
i must have accidentally switched it to python
earnest phoenix
spice pasture
hmm no
its still crashing when i run it with the debugger
wait
im just dumb
python debuggeer

earnest phoenix
make sure the debugger is js, not python
earnest phoenix
welcome to the frustrating world of development
spice pasture
yeah ive been developing for two years
wait three now
my last "wtf" moment was
plotly crashes pm2
copper cradle
I mean
if you read the error
it's a python error
and the way the traceback looks
you know it's python when you see it
copper cradle
it's 11:14
spice pasture
ok cool im not insane
earnest phoenix
get some sleep before you ask yourself why your bot is not running, try to debug it for 5 hours and realize you didnt even start it
copper cradle
I'm insane tho
spice pasture
the (javascript) debugger is crashing on perfectly fine code still
copper cradle
lol
earnest phoenix
i speak from experience 
spice pasture
ok the debugger was not crashing
the program was exiting normally because 50507 =\= 5057
earnest phoenix
I saw that ping 
stray wasp
yeah lul I was behind
earnest phoenix
you gotta be faster
stray wasp
I thought the messge he sent was like posted now lmao
but nope it was like idk ages ago
wheat valve
How do you find how many bots are in a server? i use discord.js
neat ingot
iterate over the members of that server, and check if the user is a bot.
spice pasture
Ok so the debugger is still closing but turns out that's because minecraft is rate limiting me
Annoying
earnest phoenix
make sure its not python again
earnest phoenix
Suddenly realizes he accidentally started coding a minecraft plugin instead of his bot
neat ingot
lmao
so i got that error when my bot went to a new server and i tried to interact with it, because it didnt have permissions, obviously.
however, i check if i have relevant permissions before sending anything
what permissions other than 'SEND_MESSAGES' would a bot require in order to send a message?
maybe embeds?
neat ingot
yea im going through each permission atm to see which one it is that is needed
tall arrow
is there any way I can get the permission integer of a role?
neat ingot
'embed links' permission seems to fix it
thats my embed, which doesnt actually link anything
so it must require that perm just to add an embed
fluid basin
@tall arrow depends on what library
tall arrow
discord.js
tight plinth
You can have role permissions by doing <role>.permissions
Pretty sure you can find what you want
tall arrow
le me try
neat ingot
so ill have to update almost all my commands to check for that permission also lol
thats dumb
tight plinth
No
fluid basin
d.js v12 @tall arrow?
tall arrow
ye
neat ingot
yes, thats what i do, but each command has an array containing the permissions it requires to be used.
tight plinth
I personally do that in the command itself
neat ingot
so ill need to update that array with this perm, so that the message event will correctly check for it
easy enough change tbh ๐
just tedious
fluid basin
If I'm not wrong, its over here: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Permissions?scrollTo=bitfield
You just need to do role.permissions.bitfield @tall arrow
tall arrow
thanks,that was usefull
wheat valve
How do you find how many bots are in a server using discord.js?
fluid basin
check the docs and try to get what you think should be the correct code
can't be expecting people to spoonfeed
earnest phoenix
@wheat valve someone told you already
fluid basin
and ask here for help with your current code
earnest phoenix
iterate over the members of that server, and check if the user is a bot.
wheat valve
Me and him had a conversation in DMs and it didn't work
earnest phoenix
that can still work
just loop through the users and check if these users are bots
fluid basin
show what you current have so far
pale vessel

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map/size
Have a read.
fluid basin
the general concept is that you should have a loop to iterate through the users of a guild and get those that are a bot
wheat valve
The code I have, if you look in #265156322012561408 in shows "0" has the bot count
let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");
switch (args[0]) {
case 'serverinfo':
if (message.author.bot) return; // do nothing
if (!message.content.startsWith('RH-')) return;
const bot = message.guild.members.cache.filter((u) => u && u.bot);
const serverinfo = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor("#0099ff")
.setTitle('Server Information')
.setThumbnail(message.guild.iconURL())
.addField('Server Name:', message.guild.name, true)
.addField('Server ID:', message.guild.id, true)
.addField('Server Owner', message.guild.owner, true)
.addField('Role Count:', message.guild.roles.cache.size, true)
.addField('Member Count:', message.guild.memberCount, true)
.addField('Bot Count:', bot.size, true)
.setFooter(message.guild.name)
message.channel.send(serverinfo)
break;
}
})```Thanks!

i just look at the docs okay

hi
if i have {+role:role} how can i search for that? i done js const array = ['h', 'e', '{+role:role}']; array.find((e) => 'e' === e) so, what can i do to get {+role:role} from that? i can't look for the exact match cuz idk what the role they want 2 add is.

idk why
digital ibex
w/o the u adding data to the json
earnest phoenix
it was
{"701141875628834906":{"logs":"fasle"}}
no i mean
when u created ur json file
what did it look like
u just done js { } or something?
earnest phoenix
yes
it was {}
message.js : https://hastebin.com/ovawasidov.js
logs.js : https://hastebin.com/xuvobimapi.js
nocturne grove
Why are you using JSON as a database? I did that too but MySQL or something like that is way easier and better
pale vessel
json is actually easier but it's unreliable and slow
nocturne grove
well for me mysql is easier. You can easily get a time difference or something, and you don't have to loop through it to find elements
earnest phoenix
dude
nocturne grove
I just asked a simple question but okay, won't help you then ๐
nocturne grove
okay does the console give an error?
earnest phoenix
nah
nocturne grove
or is it an error according to you?
neat ingot
your json file should not be an object containing objects which is what it seems like you have done.
i mean, if your empty file contains {} and your reading from that file, and then adding to that data, and then saving it with stringify, it should be fine
nocturne grove
I think the third } is because the json file ends there
earnest phoenix
the file was {} and i use code to chnage the file
neat ingot
but if your like, trying to save something like {{"thing":{'a':2}}} then that probly wont work
earnest phoenix
wut
neat ingot
{{"701141875628834906":{"logs":"fasle"}}}
earnest phoenix
come i will screenshare
neat ingot
is what it looks like your trying to save
earnest phoenix
the file was so :
{{"701141875628834906":{"logs":"fasle"}}
after /logs true commands
{{"701141875628834906":{"logs":"true"}}}
message.js : https://hastebin.com/ovawasidov.js
logs.js : https://hastebin.com/xuvobimapi.js
neat ingot
thats what i mean though
you have an object within an object
{{"701141875628834906":{"logs":"fasle"}}
earnest phoenix
so how i can fix it
pale vessel
remove {}
earnest phoenix
wut
pale vessel
just let the file be empty
earnest phoenix
so it will give error
earnest phoenix
but i want it automaticly
pale vessel
let the file be {}
pale vessel
make it js log[message.guild.id] = args[0];
neat ingot
tbh you should be using a proper database for guild configurable options as when saving a file, if your bot dies,. your file is rekt
and if that file has the config for all of your guilds, thats catastrophic
earnest phoenix
-______-
quartz kindle
backups :^)
quartz kindle
also, good practice for json files is to save to temp file then rename file
instead of saving directly to file
earnest phoenix
just because you can doesn't mean you should, proper databases exist for a reason. there's also a reason why none of the successful bots use json files as their storage
ok
but i cant use database
pale vessel
sounds like a you problem
quartz kindle
i got to 2500 guild running on json lmao
but yeah, dont do that pls
i deeply regret it

it wasnt slow at all actually

because it was done properly

quartz kindle
ye
quartz kindle
from your code it looks fine, i dont get what could be causing it
pale vessel
you can fix it but you'll ended up having to switch to an actual database later so why not now
neat ingot
man, when i was first researching discord bot examples, everyone seemed to use some json storage module thing that i cannot find at all now lol
earnest phoenix
we can't fix it if the root if the issue is the thing that you're actually using
@neat ingot probably configs, not dbs?
neat ingot
ikr
but it could be helpful if dude is really determined not to database
although, databasing is ez af
pale vessel
then use other host
quartz kindle
everyone used to use enmap no?
neat ingot
enmap yes!

now everyone uses quick.db

Anyone can tell me, wut the heck is shard
quartz kindle
technically, a discord connection
earnest phoenix
ok . . . . (i dont understand)
quartz kindle
often used to refer to a bot process in a large multi-process bot
earnest phoenix
oh
quartz kindle
when you reach 2500 servers, discord forces you to start sharding
which is splitting your bot's connection into multiple connections
earnest phoenix
oh
neat ingot
i thought it was at 2k?
earnest phoenix
oh
quartz kindle
each connection handling a part of the total servers
neat ingot
isnt it cause of websocket limitations?
pale vessel
you don't need it
quartz kindle
you can shard at any point
neat ingot
you can use it, but there is no need until you have many guilds
earnest phoenix
but i dont need it
quartz kindle
but you only need it at 2500

Anyone know what's up with my bot having MANAGE_CHANNELS yet not being able to change perms?
earnest phoenix
@neat ingot suggest for mongo version
sullen salmon
Wait lol
neat ingot
wouldnt it need MANAGE_ROLES or something for that? I had an issue earlier where I found out embeds wouldnt send without the 'embed links' permission :/
sullen salmon
I was iterating over it with an array but if I iterate over it with in it works
haughty night
@low orbit Best way to do it is use element inspect and click this
sullen salmon
That's extremely weird
neat ingot
idk even what mongo version i use atm lol
earnest phoenix
lol
sullen salmon
Or wait it doesn't even
haughty night
Did you try background: transparent !important; ?
earnest phoenix
@low orbit inspect element is your friend
@neat ingot mongo is a shell app
it has no UI ??
rly
neat ingot
correct. you would use some other ui, such as 'mongo admin' or one of the countless others.
also, yes, mongodb would run a localhost server on your machine on port 27017 or something by default
neat ingot
but node js would not
i dont think ive ever used mongo via command terminal ๐
been using it for like, 4 years or so
sullen salmon
Anyone know of permissions needed to create overwrites that isn't MANAGE_CHANNELS?
sullen salmon
Wow thanks

Read the discord api documentation

as i said, pretty sure it was manage roles.

That's so stupid
I missed your message damn @neat ingot
Thx
So stupid that it needs that perm
neat ingot
yea lol
i think its also stupid that you need embed links perm to send an embedded message without a link ๐

correct me if im wrong
earnest phoenix
@toxic jolt i told you whats wrong, you're trying to get the channel through the Message ID seen by ${message.guild.id}
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
but im pretty sure the {message.guild.id} returned undefined because obviously theres no channel with that "message ID"
toxic jolt
"discord.js": "^11.5.1",

noo :(,
viral spade
can someone help me on caching data to the client from a database?
toxic jolt
if I upgrade it will give a lot of error.
pale vessel
that's okay. you can fix them. if you're on v11 until the next few months, you can't fix the errors without upgrading
viral spade
When caching db rows into the client on cache miss, what do i do with other cache misses, while the first one is still loading?
quartz kindle
if they depend on each other, fetch them sequentially
if they are independent, fetch them concurrently
viral spade
lets say i want to cache guild information. So add guild.appData.prefix, ..
The getGuildCache function that impelemnts the cache miss will be called from all kinds of events "at the same time".
so its no independent or dependent, its the same information
(thank god youre here tim)
quartz kindle
ah i see the issue
neat ingot
we should all chip in $1 each and order tim a superman costume with a big T logo on it ๐
neat ingot
no no idc how well you eat! i care about fashionable skin tight outfits ^_^
quartz kindle
so basically a deferred promise (idk if that's even the name for it) works like this
viral spade
i will store the promise in a loadingGuilds map?
and place it "onto" the new call somehow?
so when the promise resolves it will send the result to all instances?
quartz kindle
let promises = {}
getGuildCache();
getGuildCache();
function getGuildCache(id) {
if(!client.guilds.get(id).AppData) {
if(promises[id]) { return promises[id]; }
promises[id] = new Promise(async resolve => {
data = await db.guilds.fetch(id) // or whatever your database does
client.guilds.get(id).AppData = data;
resolve();
});
return promises[id];
}
}
when a concurrent call happens, it checks if there is already a promise waiting, and if it does, return the existing promise instead of creating a new one
viral spade
oh man tim thats like a so fine solution to a problem i have been thinking on quite some time now.. i will try, thank you so much
quartz kindle
then you can await getGuildCache() once the promise resolves, all concurrent operations will proceed
quartz kindle
discord.js version?
quartz kindle
overwritePermissions takes a list of overwrites
and replaces all overwrites with it
if you want to update a single overwrite, use this
honest perch
that only updates the permissions on one channel
quartz kindle
yes
overwritePermissions also only updates one channel
there is no method to update all channels
you need to update them one by one
neat ingot
YES, I finally won a game โค๏ธ
mossy vine
@neat ingot is that battleship
neat ingot
yup ๐
mossy vine
noice
quartz kindle
haha cool
neat ingot
one of my 9 finished discord games ๐
honest perch
so this should do it for each?
quartz kindle
no
neat ingot
annoying though cause my mobile cant display all the emojis for monopoly ๐
quartz kindle
using a forEach for api calls is a bad idea, because that will make your bot send all updates at once
and will likely get rate limited by discord
you should use a for loop and await each call
for(let [id,channel] of message.guild.channels.cache) {
await channel.updateOverwrite(...)
}
tim, does the caching code you posted allow null values to be resolved/cached? or will your db always insert on a miss (most importantly for the guildmember cache)?
i was thinking about setting up a default object that gets used if it was not found in the database. and then only actually insert when a set happens
quartz kindle
if you do resolve(null) the promise will return null to the variable that awaited it
if you do resolve() or resolve(undefined) it will return undefined
so you can do let data = await getGuild(); if(!data) { insert default data }
viral spade
sure, i just mean in general do you assume the getCache call will have xsuccessfully cached all values so these settings can be accessed
quartz kindle
you can do the same in your await fetchFromDb thing
inside the function
if the db fetches, add it to guild, if the fetch returns nothing, add a default to the guild, then resolve the promise
viral spade
i know, but i was thinking about not inserting a row that has not changed its default values
for example. looking at the guildChannel entity, i have the property noxp (no xp channels).
If i make the insert-on-db-miss for every channel, where a user writes, i have a lot of channels in the db. BUT i could also only insert the channels, where the admin changed the noxp value and if the db calls returns 0 rows, i will simply put a default row at its place for the cache.
quartz kindle
for inserting to the db its another story
if you're going the write-in-chunks route to reduce db writes, you can save an object of db changes somewhere
for example, channel A was changed, store somewhere that channel A was changed, then when the insert to db function gets called, it inserts only the data that was changed, and then reset the was changed state
alternatively, once a channel changes, immediately write it do the db
viral spade
i am not sure if were talking about the same thing ๐
I am talking about not inserting most rows at all. about size of the database.
So 100% of all channels need to have the noxp property cached. like 0.1% are noxp channels.
If i "get-insert" every channel i cache i need to have 100% of channels in my database. If i instead only insert when someone changed the noxp setting (and put a default object on the cache if it was not found) i will only need to have 0.1% of channels saved in my db.
quartz kindle
well yes, thats a given
you dont even need to give it a default value
just omit it, if it doesnt exist it means its not set
viral spade
well but i want that the code if(channel.noxp == true) resolve();
to not throw erroes and i also dont want for every property to check all the time if it is set, right?
but whatever, i am wasting your time. i need to try this first. thanks!
quartz kindle
why not if(channel.noxp)?
quartz kindle
but well, all other values besides 0 would still work
viral spade
noxp can have only 1/0.
well guildmember is the most easy example, but on guild for example, i need a mix of strings, dates, ints over like 30 necessary setting properties
i mean i could write everywhere f.e.
if(!guild.pointsPerMessage) guild.pointsPerMessage = 3;
But then i would have to write that at multiple locations, for many properties
earnest phoenix
Discord bots can not send animated or custom emojis?
nocturne dagger
In discord.js how can I have a command is guild a add a role in guild b
neat ingot
im just gonna go out on a limb here and say you shouldnt be doing that
nocturne dagger
Are you talking to me?
neat ingot
yea, sorry lol
nocturne dagger
And why shouldn't I do that?
earnest phoenix
How?
nocturne dagger
I don't think your understanding.
The user does something in one server. i.e sets up our bot. then gets a role in our support server
pale vessel
<:name:id>
<a:name:id> for animated
earnest phoenix
not animated?
neat ingot
there is no guarantee your bot client is in the support server (when sharding is involved)
earnest phoenix
message.guild.roles.cache.get(roles => roles.delete); not reacting
neat ingot
instead you should setup some kinda webhook event that your support server listens for
earnest phoenix
v12
pale vessel
delete is a method
earnest phoenix
v12 js
pale vessel
make it a function
earnest phoenix
it
earnest phoenix
well
earnest phoenix
message.guild.roles.forEach(roles => roles.delete);
earnest phoenix
not reacting again xd
pale vessel
that's not how it works
neat ingot
dude, your not calling the function.
your just checking if that function exists and then doing nothing with it
earnest phoenix
what function? v12 not working
neat ingot
also not sure thats even valid lol
slender thistle
The roles.delete part could be really confusing tbh.
pale vessel
read that and learn how to use loops
earnest phoenix
nothing seems understandable
pale vessel
you also shouldn't use forEach because it would lead to api abuse
earnest phoenix
to know a little english
pale vessel
i feel like you really need to have at least a basic understanding of english in order to understand docs and guides.
proper inlet
Hello, when I upgraded to discord.js 12 my economy command /top stop working.
Bot must delete user's reactions from message, but bot must'nt remove himself reactions.
In discord.js 11 I do this if(user.id != client.user.id) { reaction.remove(user.id); } but in discord js 12 this remove bot reactions too.
How can I fix it?
pale vessel
that happened to someone else too
pale vessel
i didn't touch reactions when using discord.js so i can't help you, sorry
remove brackets 
proper inlet
Thx
neat ingot
oh, 'this hwnd' in that code reffers to a sent message
hwnd is just the message that was sent.
proper inlet
Ok

i should actually probably change that guild.me.has permission thing cause it doesnt take channel specific perms into account which could cause errors

my friend was trying to talk me into making a bot that just randomly repeating things back to you
like, it wouldbe quiet for hours, then just copy or repeat a random phrase it had heard throughout the day
naive mantle
hey uh
im trying to make my bot have a status
this isnt working
bot.user.setActivity.('prefix ples', { type: 'STREAMING' })
i dont know what to set it to-
it says
TypeError: Cannot read property 'setActivity' of null
can someone help?
white anvil
wait until you have connected properly
white anvil
you are calling this method before you have connected to discord
so the bot user doesnt exist yet
naive mantle
wait do you have to put it after bot.login?
@white anvil it still says null
i dont know have to put it after ive connected to discord
white anvil
no
hasty sparrow
Use the ready event
white anvil
logging in takes time
you are logging in and you are trying to set activity before it has finished
naive mantle
idk how to use the ready event
um
@hasty sparrow what is the ready event and how do i use it-
hasty sparrow
Here's an example, but I suggest you learn JS first: https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/#logging-in-to-discord
pale vessel
make sure to select v12 on top
hasty sparrow
You also never set a bot's status before?
naive mantle
no
hasty sparrow
K
naive mantle
oh i did it
bot.once('ready', () => {
bot.user.setActivity('my prefix ples', { type: 'STREAMING' })
});```So if you didn't want to restart your bot to change something in an event, how could you do that?
Like is there a way of doing it in the same way in commands?
I'm just not sure if something like this would work
naive mantle
i dont know ive never done this before-
golden condor
fs.readdir("./events/", (err, files) => {
if (err) console.log(err);
for (const file in files)
let eventFunc = require(`./events/${file}`);
let eventName = file.split(".")[0];
client.events.set(file, {name: eventName, run: eventFunc.run})
};
});
for (const event in client.events){
client.on(event.name, (...args), event.run(...args))
}
make a function that reloads the event
naive mantle
how do i run that function
neat ingot
golden condor
Ok so like commands, I was just wondering, thanks ๐
naive mantle
oml this is all confusing
i dont know what to put to make a function that reloads the event-
naive mantle
should i?
pale vessel
it's okay for now.
naive mantle
ok
i kinda need it
so i can do it faster than restarting my bot
because right now it takes forever for it to log off then log back on
neat ingot
best to learn some javscript or w.e code language you use first before deciding what you 'need'
plain current
hello i am getting some error saying SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
naive mantle
i only know basic javascript
neat ingot
then learn some not basic javascript ๐
coral stirrup
@plain current you have code where it shouldnt be
golden condor
Like this?
client.reloadEvent = function (eventName) {
delete require.cache[require.resolve("./events/" + eventName)]
client.events.delete(eventName)
const event = require("./events/" + eventName)
client.events.set(eventName, { name: eventName, run: event.run })
}```explanation 100
neat ingot
ehhh, i wouldnt do it quite like that cx, but it looks functional enough assuming client.events is a discord collection.
golden condor
It is
plain current
ok because i used to get an error saying SyntaxError: Unexpected token and now it is this one
naive mantle
how do i use that @golden condor
coral stirrup
you should learn js first @plain current
golden condor
fs.readdir("./events/", (err, files) => {
if (err) console.log(err);
for (const file in files) {
let eventFunc = require(`./events/${file}`);
client.events.set(file, eventFunc)
let eventName = file.split(".")[0];
client.on(eventName, (...args) => eventFunc.run(client, ...args));
};
});``` Should I do something like this or what I showed before?i wanna try to use one of those
pale vessel
that would reload all events
golden condor
fs.readdir("./events/", (err, files) => {
if (err) console.log(err);
for (const file in files)
let eventFunc = require(`./events/${file}`);
let eventName = file.split(".")[0];
client.events.set(file, {name: eventName, run: eventFunc.run})
};
});
for (const event in client.events){
client.on(event.name, (...args), event.run(...args))
}```thats some very basic stuff right here, you should atleast know a little bit what youre doing @plain current
golden condor
No I mean before it starts
golden condor
that would reload all events
@pale vessel Ik that would be on start
pale vessel
then don't say this
Should I do something like this or what I showed before?
golden condor
but what about reloading, I was wondering about that, would it actually work?
golden condor
Ok
naive mantle
how do i make an event run when someone joins the server
wasnt it like
guild member add
or something
neat ingot
personally i would create an event handling class, and give it functions for loading/unloading/removing events entirely. i'd then create a dev command that uses that class to load w.e the events.
coral stirrup
yea its guildMemberAdd

ok ty

personally i would create an event handling class, and give it functions for loading/unloading/removing events entirely. i'd then create a dev command that uses that class to load w.e the events.
@neat ingot how lol

coral stirrup
member is guild, user is discord

and even though i 100% correctly gave the data and correct settings, it just does not show anything at all lol
i mean, obviously i didnt 100% do it correctly or it would have worked
but yea, as far as i could tell, i was doing everything correctly lol
modest maple
@viral spade Cuz its discord.js lol, its awful

perhaps its just a convenience thing
