@next escarp that's no token dude, discord tokens have 3 sections
mossy vine
to prove a "point"
lyric mountain
that's literally something in youtube's html
earnest phoenix
but either way you wouldn't put my "token" publicly unless you either wanted people to use it or you wanted to scare me bruh
next escarp
why doesn't it work again
lyric mountain
don't worry zen, he just mistakenly minimodded u
next escarp
yeah
lyric mountain
BUT, if you really want to scrap the site, you'll need some regex
earnest phoenix
i dont know youtubes api and i already coded it this way and i am too lazy to change it
earnest phoenix
idk javascript well but you could have just defined the embed weirdly
earnest phoenix
oh i know whats wrong
still merlin
try return message.channel.send(serverembed);
next escarp
ok
earnest phoenix
const Embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
// ADD AN INDENT
.blahblah() something balh blah javascript
then do message.channel.send
mossy vine
what
mossy vine
zen r u ok
earnest phoenix
no lol
earnest phoenix
but i know he doesnt use a { or } anywhere so he would probably need to indent it to show that its part of the last line
next escarp
doenst work
earnest phoenix
or atleast i think thats how code works
mossy vine
what
lyric mountain
nope
next escarp
who knows?
lyric mountain
you can write javascript entirely in one line
lyric mountain
only python uses indentation for code syntax afaik
earnest phoenix
all i know is the official js guide shows an indent so
earnest phoenix
oh
next escarp
it says channed.send

hey! i'm trying to use google's translation API, but there is a required field that I don't understand... it's the parent field. i've alredy tried projects/:my project id but it doesn't work.
here is what they say about it :
mossy vine
hmm yeah that should be correct. what do you get as response?
lyric mountain
I'd not recommend using google translation api
spice smelt
well i'm really sorry, it looks like the error was cached or smth x) it works now
@lyric mountain why?
lyric mountain
the quota will stop your bot from making further requests
gtanslate api's free plan has a VERY low quota
topaz fjord
api key rotation 
lyric mountain
I like the way you think boi
topaz fjord
but then you'll probably get ip/account banned if you piss them off
that's not enough context
I can't tell anything from that snippet
spice smelt
@lyric mountain do you have any recommendation to replace gtranslate?
lyric mountain
I'd recommend yandex api, their translator is quite good for a free service
I use it for my bot
spice smelt
ok, ill try it, thanks

Which is the best free discord bot hosting service? I want to host it on a free one before it will be finished, then i'll buy a vps 🙂

how do i make a bot ping cmd that shows the ping
earnest phoenix
In your opinion, what whould you choose?
next escarp
?
lyric mountain
In your opinion, what whould you choose?
@earnest phoenix if it's just for testing purposes: glitch, heroku or google cloud will do
lyric mountain
yeah, each one have its drawbacks
but as I said, if it's just for testing then it's ok
you don't need THAT performance nor reliability for that
lyric mountain
i'll give it a look later, guess I'll migrate my api to it

anyone got any idea why my discord oauth2 loads for around 15 minutes when using a different mongoose model? the models are exactly the same, the only thing i change for me to make it load for ages, is change the path of the model

A main downside from glitch is that you might need to replace your token almost every time, even with a watcher script.
wich sucks.

im trying to use snekfetch to use api but the code will not run
it's indicating no sign of error, just not running
like it just BREAKS, no code after it is getting ran, and the program doesn't stop
here's the code
const {get} = require("snekfetch");
const Discord = require("discord.js");
exports.run = (client, message, args) => {
let animal = args[0]
console.log(animal)
if(animal === 'dog'){
console.log(animal)
get('https://some-random-api.ml/facts/dog').then(res => { // BREAKS HERE
console.log('got')
var randomColor = Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16); // randomizes colour again
console.log('randomized')
const dogEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()//creates embed
.setAuthor('Dog Module')
.setFooter('Dog provided by animal-bot (built and hosted by the Animal Bot team)') //sets footer to this text
.setTitle("🐕Here's your random dog🐕") //the main message
.setColor('#' + randomColor) // sets the colour to the random colour
.setDescription(res.body.fact)
console.log('embed done')
return message.channel.send(dogEmbed); //sends the embed

I was in the middle of making a set log command and I had the actual set log part but set.serverlogchannel is undefined, What would i put instead or how do I define it (I'm still learning js)
misty sigil
you'd need to make it a constant or smthing
const channel = message.channel.id```something similar to this
still merlin
how is that gonna set my channel to set the log channel
still merlin
wait so underneath the " set.serverlogchannel" i put "const channel = message.channel.id"
misty sigil
idk actually
wait let me customise the const
const serverlogchannel = message.channel.id
``` and that'd go under the command listenerright so ```client.on("message", (message) => {
let args = message.content.substring(prefix.length).split(" ");
const serverlogchannel = message.channel.id
switch (args[0]) {
case "setlogchannel":```

that sets the log channel to the channel the message was sent from

is there a way, in python, to turn an emoji in unicode to the discord string (so like 👍 -> thumbsup) and back?
i don't wanna manually make a dictionnary either
earnest phoenix
i have reasons, my text file converts the emojis into utf8 and then its a hellhole to get em out in a usable fashion, better to have a way to turn them into and back out of a string or sthg
i could use ascii character ids tho
ill try that

well the id thing worked so i guess im good

quick question, how can I react on a specific message id?

🤔
like this
dont put it, just put the original emoji if you just use discord's emojis.
So as i have a bot made from discord.js... and saw that the discord.py can access to user's nitro info to show it on my userinfo command... Is it even possible to like use both the libraries... Like discord.js being the whole bot as main... But using discord.py at the other hand to check that info and use it on my userinfo command?
digital ibex
wym users nitro info?

like... If the user has the nitro badges and stuff

I mean it's the same thing but sometimes .then() doesn't work on some functions
So yea some functions doesn't work with .then(), use async/await

Ok, so I'm using json to keep my ticket bot's data.
JSON code:
{"ticket-counter": 0, "valid-roles": [], "pinged-roles": [], "ticket-channel-ids": [], "verified-roles": []}
Even if the bot is on 6 servers, and there is 1 ticket on one server, for the other server it'll be ticket-2.
How would I make it so that every server it joins, it adds the server id and resets it to 0 for that server?
vernal rivet
i mean, idk if using json is a good idea to use for heavy data on a bot that can grow. if you want to use json structures, then i suggest looking into using quick.db
json is more for lightweight data, such as holding credentials, or data, that hardly ever needs to change, and is small. SQLite and MySQL is better for heavy data, such as database data, or data that changes a lot, or needs to handle a lot of data.

for(i=0;i<5;i++){p++;message.channel.messages.fetch("718591041149861888").then(message => message.react(emotes[p])).then(mr => console.log(mr))}
but only 1 emoji reacts

Can't you just do a forEach() ?
midnight blaze
where should I add the forEach() function? :>

Wait forEach() would not work but i have no idea how to make that thing work
Lol
digital ibex
just like
message.channel.messages.fetch("718591041149861888").then(async(e) => {
await e.react('emote');
await e.react('emote 2');
});```i believe that should work

when looping with promises always use async/await syntax unless you purposefully want to execute them concurrently and dont care about their order

tired nimbus
how can I determine if the bot can send a DM to an user?
earnest phoenix
hi
steel drum
@tired nimbus you can just try to send the message and if it fails (for ex: theres a promise rejection) then handle it accordingly
you dont HAVE to check if your bot is able to dm a user before trying it, as long as you have corresponding error-handling
tired nimbus
I already tried and catched and it still retruns an error
earnest phoenix
.catch()?
steel drum
what exactly are you trying and catching ?
tired nimbus
the send
earnest phoenix
use send(...).catch(err => {})
tired nimbus
I did
earnest phoenix
wrap it in try {} catch(e) {} if that doesnt work?
tired nimbus
I did it still returns an error
steel drum
if you're gonna use try catch you might as well use async / await
earnest phoenix
you have another error then...
steel drum
@tired nimbus what exactly is the error?
earnest phoenix
lmao
tired nimbus
DiscordAPIError: Cannot send messages to this user
I think its a different error

let user = await Bot.users.fetch(vote.user);
if (user) try {

What is bottlenecking your bot?

well it used to run fine but now its in a lot of servers it cant anymore
like i start it up and it flickers on and offline
doesnt even finish its on_ready event
shrewd prairie
no no errors show up
lyric mountain
Use esc to clear message notifications
lyric mountain
Still
You shouldn't be having issue with only 100 servers
@earnest phoenix shiro
Maybe it's some issue with your code
When did that start to happen?
shrewd prairie
i mean maybe but all my other server bots run fine, and the bot in question runs fine from my home computa
lyric mountain
Do you use in-memory data storage?
shrewd prairie
that could explain it but i have no idea what could cause that, other than some strange memory leak
which i dont think could be possible
ok im gonna try running like a hello world bot on the token and see what happens
lyric mountain
Storing lots of data inside variables is a probable memory issue
It can drastically increase your bot's memory footprint
I'd check this kind of thing first, since moving to another vps will just act as a placebo to the real issue
shrewd prairie
yeah
ok ok check this out
this is what i thought would happen
this is the code i wrote
like as barebones as possible
it cannot run this on that token
lethal hawk
You might have hit an api rate limit. It's rare, but it occurred to me once. Turn the bot of for 24h and look if it works again.
(Workaround to test if this it the problem: register a new bot at discord.com and put that token in your bots' code.
@shrewd prairie
shrewd prairie
registered new bot, yeah that runs fine on that token
im not really convinced thats the issue, the bots been down for a while due to me not wanting to deal with it
lethal hawk
Then it is you bot that is being rate limited.
If you are convinced it is not a rate limit, I suggests you fill out a suport form on discord.com to see what's going on.
What library do you use? discord.py?
lethal hawk
Ok, recap.
It doesn't work on vps with token 1, but it does work with token 2.
On pc it works with both.
Is that correct?
shrewd prairie
yes
lethal hawk
Is the latest version of python installed on the vps?
And did you try without using async functions yet?
async doesn't always throw an error
shrewd prairie
no, same version as windows pc (3.6.8)
no, i dont know how
lethal hawk
Just remove every async and await should do that
shrewd prairie
i may have just figured out the issue..
i physically do not have that much memory
shrewd prairie
i have 500mb
checked how much i was using
a lot
its not that i have leaks anywhere i just. do not have that much memory to run a lot of things
lethal hawk
You used more thatn 500mb for that hello world thing?
shrewd prairie
no i run other bots on it
lethal hawk
Oh, I see
shrewd prairie
but apparently the hello world bot tipped it over
ah gee
guess ill optimize my other bots lol
lethal hawk
Memory leaks are never a good thing. Even with little usage/users, it will crash over time

I don't think you can get the DM channel
For bots, this is no longer a supported method of getting recent DMs, and will return an empty array.
If you are trying to create the DM, then the recipient_id should be in your request body
not a query string
golden condor
Why do you need to do that?
cinder patio
recipient_id shouldn't go in headers, but in body, aslo you need to provide an Authorization header
golden condor
Oh
Yeah there is broadcastEval
I can't do manager.broadcastEval with Kurasuta
@wide ridge yeah
cinder patio
See that's what sucks about discord.js, you don't have the object - you cannot do anything else, even if you have all the data you need (ids)
golden condor
wide ridge
ye I need the ShardClientUtil
wide ridge
so with clustering, I'm not sure how I would get that set up properly
I tried manager.client.shard.broadcastEval
golden condor
You don't need to do that
wide ridge
but manager doesn't have that property
golden condor
You can just do client.shard
.broadcastEval
Or bot
Or whatever your client object is
That should work
And you also have client.shard.send()
wide ridge
it's in a different scope tho, I'm trying to do it in a different file
my index.js has the shardingmanager
and my shard.js has the client objects basically
wide ridge
yeah
golden condor
It's the same as djs sharder in this case
wide ridge
I'll try it out and see how it goes
i want it to only send 1 dm, so I'll probably need to check if isMaster right?
golden condor
client.shard.broadcastEval("client.user.cache.get('userid').send('message')")
Since only one shard will have that user

you'd use response.render('botinfo', 'path to botinfo.html')
for ejs anyways
u can try it, might work
earnest phoenix
TypeError: Cannot create property '_locals' on string '/app/views/botinfo.html'
app.get('/', function(request, response) {
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html');
response.render('botinfo', __dirname + '/views/botinfo.html')
});```which one?
earnest phoenix
it will if i remove the other part yes
but i want them to all work together
and i cant add another app.get because it wont work
digital ibex
then use seperate files, and in that seperate files, use router instead of app and then you can do it like that to make the url hi.com/index/botinfo/ or something
you probably can use it in the same file, but with router. unsure
router will be ```js
const router = require('express').Router();
so confused
why cant i just use
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html');
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/botinfo.html');
});```this is in my main file
server.js
digital ibex
unsure tbh, but ur code will be something along the lines ofjs const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const router = require('express').Router(); app.get('/', (req, res) => { // do whatever u need to do here router.get('/something', () => { // do whatever u need to do here }); }); im not sure tho as i use separate files cuz i think its easier than doing ^^
you can, if that doesn't work , do ```js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/dashboard', (req, res) => {
// do whatever u need to do here
});
app.get('/dashboard/settings', (req, res) => {
// do whatever u need to do here
});
app.get('/dashboard/account', (req, res) => {
// do whatever u need to do here
});
that one will obviously work, but its not the cleanest way to do it
earnest phoenix
app.get('/', function(request, response) {
const router = require('express').Router();
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html');
router.get('/botinfo.html', () => {
})
});```what about router.get
what do i do there
digital ibex
i'd put the const router = ... outside of {} and u do whatever u'd do with app.get
earnest phoenix
but im asking what about the router.get
what does it even do
Cannot GET /app/views/botinfo.html
digital ibex
its middleware, it refers to how ur enpoints respond to requests
earnest phoenix
Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.
digital ibex
yeah, i had a feeling it would error, try using https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/718790931595264010
earnest phoenix
app.get('/', function(request, response) {
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html');
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/botinfo.html');
});```
this is supposed to work, but i get CANNOT GET errorthats cuz the file ur trying to access doesn't exist or the path is incorrect
u need to make it
earnest phoenix
digital ibex
im not too sure, but ^^ for context and idk if it would help
im kinda confused why its not working tbh
have u saved it?
earnest phoenix
yes
earnest phoenix
no
digital ibex
does it error?
golden condor
whatever you use .get with is undefined
willow marlin
i have really outstanding problem
am using enmap for database
every time i write a new value it takes about 3 minutes to write it globally
this is what i men
I use bal command and see my balance is 1000
i have a beg command. The beg command gives you +50
I use bal command , bal is still 1000
I wait for about 3 minutes
then when i try bal it works and shows 1050
but it doesnt update instantly
i have done expermint and i know the beg command writes the new value instantly
the problem is the bal command
golden condor
Try switching dbs
honest perch
have you tried mongo?
golden condor
Maybe to something like mongo
willow marlin
aaaaa i jus switched from json to enmap lol
ill try mongo i guess
its not complicated is it?
blazing bloom
Was there a reason why you chose a local database?
willow marlin
idk how to do databases
blazing bloom
enmap is a thin wrapper on Sqlite isn't it?
hasty sparrow
No
modest maple
i mean no
blazing bloom
There are more robust in the sense that if your machine hosting the code goes wrong, your database could be too
Sqlite is perfect for things like Android apps and small things. In an Android app, you could use Sqlite as a SQL cache against network requests so your application can work offline.
You also need to take into account your disk speeds since they will always have a large factor on how well your database can react to immediate reads and writes. By far, you want an database on a SSD.
And if you can live with it being temporary to an extent, tmpfs.
hasty sparrow
Then you came to the right place
honest perch
https://dontasktoask.com/ @true pawn
hasty sparrow
@willow marlin Are you sure the database is at fault?
true pawn
@hasty sparrow My bot is stuck and if I create a new app, will I?
blazing bloom
Yeah, that's a good suggestion, what exactly are you doing that causes writes to be that long?
I mean, you could try Redis instead, that's battle tested as all things go.
true pawn
just reset the token
@honest perch I reset the token but does not log in
honest perch
you have to login using the new token
hasty sparrow
How many rows do you have in your table(s), any indexes, using caching, etc.
honest perch
with mongoose its pretty simple\
hasty sparrow
Time to learn the basics
golden condor
This guy sounds like he should be using quick.db
true pawn
I get an error: (node:1222) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Something took too long to do.
honest perch
you have probably been rate limited
hasty sparrow
Kudos for not using JSON as database
willow marlin
uh
hasty sparrow
@true pawn Screenshot the error
willow marlin
im just writing numbers
true pawn
you have probably been rate limited
@honest perch what should I do ?
true pawn
me ?
honest perch
yes
rose mauve
evet
true pawn
hasty sparrow
@willow marlin How many guilds is the bot in?
honest perch
what happens when you run the command @true pawn
curl -I https://discordapp.com/api/v7/gateway
true pawn
ok wait
earnest phoenix
@true pawn Türk müsün?
true pawn
honest perch
true pawn
@earnest phoenix evet.
honest perch
you have been ratelimited, above is the glitch thread for that
i also suggest that you dont use glitch for discord bots
ancient notch
Sa
earnest phoenix
As
true pawn
i also suggest that you dont use glitch for discord bots
@honest perch what can i use?
true pawn
I do not want to pay
blazing bloom
Heroku has a free tier I think
honest perch
then goodluck with getting ratelimited
earnest phoenix
oof
willow marlin
@willow marlin How many guilds is the bot in?
@hasty sparrow
76
honest perch
there is no free good hosting
wild mist
@true pawn someone said on glitch forum it mean ur host banned
willow marlin
@willow marlin Are you sure the database is at fault?
@hasty sparrow
What else could it be
earnest phoenix
@true pawn try google cloud 30 days trial maybe its can be helpfull
willow marlin
@true pawn someone said on glitch forum it mean ur host banned
@wild mist
I had that issue
honest perch
a raspi isnt that expensive either
true pawn
hmm
wild mist
U have just have to remix to fix it
honest perch
blazing bloom
Raspberry PIs, do they still mess up SD cards due to writes? My SD card didn't last as long as I would like
willow marlin
My phone messes up my SD and I have to switch it once a month
blazing bloom
That's extremely odd
honest perch
as long as you dont buy an sd for $2 off of AliExpress you will be fine
true pawn
thanks i took care of my problem
blazing bloom
For that to happen, your phone or something must be writing gigabytes very frequently to occur.
true pawn
U have just have to remix to fix it
@wild mist thanks bro
hasty sparrow
@willow marlin I'm curious to know how many rows your database table has
blazing bloom
It's Sqlite, it has to have rows
hasty sparrow
If it's huge and hasn't got an index/bad index, then the updates will indeed be slow
willow marlin
In the database the name and Mony is stored
hasty sparrow
Every entry is a row
blazing bloom
"Mony"?
willow marlin
Money
blazing bloom
Okay, how many inserts or create new records do you think you're doing?
willow marlin
One
blazing bloom
What.
hasty sparrow
What are you using as key for each user?
blazing bloom
This sounds like a massive table lock then.
hasty sparrow
Lmao, DMed me as well
willow marlin
Lol same
blazing bloom
Same.
hasty sparrow
@green kestrel Got @rose glen dming a bunch of people about missing perms
blazing bloom
Do you know what your table schema looks like? You said and ID and money, so it is literally a table with 2 columns?
blazing bloom
Right, so in order to actually answer our questions, Duke's included, we need to know what this table looks like.
willow marlin
I have no idea how to see the table
blazing bloom
Otherwise we're just stabbing in the dark.
willow marlin
Is this virtual table?
523039234022440962 => name : 523039234022440962
Money : 69
That's what it looks like
blazing bloom
Where are you hosting this bot?
hasty sparrow
Is there a database file anywhere?
Grab something like https://sqlitebrowser.org/ and open the .sqlite file
blazing bloom
And are you able to copy the contents of where this db is hosting to your machine? I don't know if that's wise or not, copying a sqlite file while it's running.
hasty sparrow
Ahh
willow marlin
Is there a database file anywhere?
@hasty sparrow
No it's virtual database
Ahh
@hasty sparrow
Even on glitch and heroku it didn't work
hasty sparrow
If the data persists through restarts, then it has to be stored somewhere
blazing bloom
But you don't know if it's starting from scratch right?
willow marlin
What do you mean by that
blazing bloom
As in, when you kill and restart it, does the data that you saved in a previous session still exist?
blazing bloom
Cool, so this means the data has to live somewhere since it lives outside restarts right?
willow marlin
Probably
blazing bloom
But it seems you don't know where that is?
willow marlin
Ohh wait
I know
It shows up on glitch
Only glith
As a weird stream of unidentified emojis
It's not a readable text
blazing bloom
Probably stream data then. I think we know what the problem is then.
Glitch is probably not a good place to save a lot of data, it has to go over some sort of network and some file system that you don't know about
willow marlin
Yep that's why I switched to replit
blazing bloom
I don't know how old you are, but it's effectively similar to writing to a floppy disk; slow as all hell.
willow marlin
Oh ik
hasty sparrow
blazing bloom
So I don't think sqlite is to blame here; provided that the file is on the same device that's running your code, it will be fine for most low-medium traffic.
But writes to some unknown file system, who knows at that point.
hasty sparrow
Stop using enmap and sqlite
blazing bloom
Pretty much what Duke said
hasty sparrow
MariaDB/MySQL/PostgreSQL/MongoDB/anything
blazing bloom
Some alternatives are MongoDB atlas, Heroku with SQL, Gigalixir
hasty sparrow
Depends on your data structure
willow marlin
If I want to store timestamps as well
blazing bloom
I don't even think you have a proper hosting solution in place.
blazing bloom
Probably better off using MongoDB Atlas since there's a free tier: https://developer.mongodb.com/quickstart/free-atlas-cluster
willow marlin
What does a free tier do
hasty sparrow
Use proper hosting, glitch and repl.it are both for prototyping, not long term hosting
blazing bloom
Costs nothing, data limit 512MB.
blazing bloom
Back to this again.
hasty sparrow
Not even a fiver a month?
hasty sparrow
Could you show the command code that updates the user's balance?
hasty sparrow
If that's the one that updates it, then yes
willow marlin
It's funny because the database works when I store timestamps for cooldown
blazing bloom
Flyaway, do you want a $100, 60 day credit for digital ocean then?
willow marlin
How do I get
blazing bloom
willow marlin
Do u wanna see my whole code
blazing bloom
No shame here.
pale vessel
hastebin it
willow marlin
Oops was I meant to hastbin I thought you mean pastebin
hasty sparrow
@willow marlin This seems a lot like the issue you are encountering: https://enmap.evie.dev/usage/using-from-multiple-files#a-common-issue
willow marlin
Uh
hasty sparrow
Why are you creating a new client at the top of your command file?
willow marlin
Ah I think that's because
I wrote my enmap as bot.balance
And bot wasn't defined
summer torrent
define bot
hasty sparrow
Because "Bot" is not defined
summer torrent
variables are case sensitive
summer torrent
restart your app
willow marlin
Try again
hasty sparrow
Is "bot" defined in the command file?
vale garden
its defined in index.js
willow marlin
Can you show the line which errored
hasty sparrow
You can't just use one file's variable in another file (without importing/requiring it, but that makes no sense in this case)
vale garden
oh
sinful harness
Also if bot.ping will be undefined , u have to type bot.ws.ping
digital ibex
depends which version he's on
blazing bloom
@willow marlin It's definitely not enmap fault, reads for one operation at at 0.384ms, while writes/updates are at most 1.2ms
Also, instead of this:
bot.cooldown.ensure(`${user}`, {
name: user,
beg: Date.now()
}); //check for time beg
var cooldown = bot.cooldown.get(user, "beg")
You can just do
const { beg } = coolDownTable.ensure(user, {
name: user,
beg: Date.now(),
})
Saves you one query
blazing bloom
Also, your database looks like this.
willow marlin
uh ill show u
blazing bloom
Well, at least has that structure anyways
cosmic vortex
hi, any good lib for discord bot
c# btw, i only know c# (and pascal)
cosmic vortex
i said c#, not javascript
pale vessel
dsp
earnest phoenix
wut is .first() using for 🤔
willow marlin
to get the first of that object in a message i think
pale vessel
collection/map
earnest phoenix
:0
willow marlin
message.mentions,users.first()gets the mention
earnest phoenix
yes
cosmic vortex
any lib that i can use with mono
willow marlin
discord.js
earnest phoenix
bruh he c#
blazing bloom
Why Mono. It has dotnet core support.
hasty sparrow
DSharpPlus or Discord.NET, no clue which one/if either supports Mono
willow marlin
@willow marlin This seems a lot like the issue you are encountering: https://enmap.evie.dev/usage/using-from-multiple-files#a-common-issue
@hasty sparrow
hold on i already do thhat
hasty sparrow
Incorrectly, yes
The shared variable method latches onto the bot initialized in your main file, whilst you add the balance to a new instance inside your command file
willow marlin
oh what am i
doing wron
oh
so when i call it in other files do i need to define it?
hasty sparrow
No, you access it through the bot instance
willow marlin
so
index.js
const Discord = require ('discord.js')
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const Enmap = require("enmap");
bot.balance = new Enmap({ name: "balance" });
balance.js:
const Discord = require ('discord.js')
//without defining it
bot.balance.get
Probably don't need to require discord.js in your balance command file, but yes, that would be the structure
willow marlin
but then it will say bot is undefined
hasty sparrow
Are you passing the message to the command method?
hasty sparrow
message.client is the bot
willow marlin
do i still have to define enmap
hasty sparrow
No, you already defined it once in your main file
willow marlin
kk
torn ravine
I have a good idea
willow marlin
huh i passed bot but still no define
willow marlin
oh i defined it before i defined obt
sorry
o lmao enmap is not defined
do i have to pass enmap as erll
hasty sparrow
The guide explains what you have to do and how to use it
torn ravine
I wanna create a bot-ban system that doesn’t allow users to use commands. it could be specific commands or it could be the whole bot. It’ll be server-wide so I can store data in a db which includes time remaining, and ban reason. I’ll use the DB to store USERID that do bad things and have em erased of the face of the planet
willow marlin
the only issue with that i s you have to convince developers to use your system
lusty quest
any idea why my embed creates a line with undefined? https://i.imgur.com/cokBx9Q.png
.setColor('#006c80')
.setTitle(`Vote Leaderboard`)
for (var i=0; i<chunked[n].length; i++) {
prevembed.addField(`User: ${chunked[n][i].username}`,`Votes: ${chunked[n][i].votes}`)
}
prevembed.setFooter(`Page ${n+1}/${chunked.length}`)
sendmessage.edit(prevembed)```
is the code for the embedhave u defined the variable n and chunked?
lusty quest
yes
its an array from a database with a few thousand returns. i chunk them into 10 datasets per chunk
hasty sparrow
Why are you fetching so many results when you only display 10 at a time?
lusty quest
its an interactive embed. with mutiple pages
so i can limit the results per page
but my issue is that i get on my first page always this undefined page
willow marlin
is it because n+1 / chunked.length at that point is a dodgy number
as in like 0 or 1
or nan
NaN
lusty quest
n is defined as 0 in the beginning
but since its an Array that starts at 0 but i want to be the first page to be 1 it sets n to 1 for the footer
also the footer is not in the for loop and appears only once
running this loop also gives the same result javascript for (var i=0; i<chunked[n].length; i++) { // embed.addField(`User: ${chunked[n][i].username}\n Votes: ${chunked[n][i].votes}`) embed.addField(`User: test\n Votes: test`) }
found the issue
hasty sparrow
What caused it?
lusty quest
the AddField is only 1 field and the undefined is the missing Field title
lusty quest
what did you want to do?
willow marlin
im trynig to follow tha
lusty quest
enmap is fine but you should not use it with more than 10 Guilds
willow marlin
whot
