Yeah, it's this code that should display users its watching over, just comes back with error.
@finite bough That code should work for this correct? https://gyazo.com/9de1f530741daa70f56be945d9c12188

Mmm?
elfin flower
hmm
earnest phoenix
Error return?
earnest phoenix
Mmm
elfin flower
await message.guild.edit(name = "name") didnt work
blazing ravine
soul any idea ?
solemn latch
the problem is not down there
the problem is invite doesnt exist
slender thistle
await message.guild.edit(name = "name") didnt work
@elfin flower show your full code
solemn latch
ye
slender thistle
Could you not spam like that
blazing ravine
but not work
solemn latch
so do that
solemn latch
your doing it in the wrong place @blazing ravine
elfin flower
the bot doesnt have manage server perms
blazing ravine
if(!inviter == ) return member.guild.channels.cache.get(wChan).send("📥I can't find who Invited " + `${member.user}`); im using this
elfin flower
😂
blazing ravine
but not work
solemn latch
the error is invite doesnt exist,
your doing the check if inviter exists.
but the problem is invite doesnt exist
blazing ravine
hm
solemn latch
also, your perfoming the check after the error
blazing ravine
how to return the error ?
earnest phoenix
Yes
blazing ravine
my error this
solemn latch
client needs to be defined before client.on events are added
blazing ravine
= const inviter = bot.users.cache.get(invite.inviter.id);
this is undefinned
when some1 created invite
with colldown
work only for forever invites
but i trying to make when giving error undefinned i want to return with console.log or msg.channel.send
blazing ravine
ye
solemn latch
your solution to the error you put on the next line
earnest phoenix
solemn latch
how is your soltuion ever going to run
blazing ravine
i put but didnt work]
solemn latch
if the error happens before it
blazing ravine
nope

"verify your id"
blazing ravine

any time a python question is asked it feels like it no one responds
quartz kindle
because js people are louder lmao
they write more guides, more content, advocate more, scream louder online, etc

js is better
pure lion
Ehhhhh
amber fractal
better is subjective
pure lion
:D
amber fractal
I've used the most popular languages in js, python and java and I can tell you it isn't just as simple as saying "Yeah this is objectively better"
quartz kindle
js is the best for the same reason america is the best
all others are faster, smarter, more powerful, do a lot of things better, but js is best just because
amber fractal
Idk about more powerful I think we displayed our power quite well in ww2
solemn latch
if anyone ever thinks a programming language is objectively better, they are goofballs.
its just a tool, like any other
elfin flower
uh
slender thistle
Tbh js community just feels more immature, but I haven't taken a look at the official d.py server in months now
quartz kindle
thats cool
pure lion
Ye?
elfin flower
wat
opal plank
how would i handle a command fired from outside? express with a local server?
pure lion
Where is outside
opal plank
or local execution without re-login
elfin flower
a question randomly popped up in my head lol
pure lion
Ok this is time for me to learn :3
elfin flower
how do i break a loop without putting break in the loop
pure lion
Uh
slender thistle
return
quartz kindle
you can return
slender thistle
an if statement, technically
quartz kindle
but break is literally made for that, so why wouldnt you wanna use it?
opal plank
Lets say i have my discord bot on. All handlers and jazz handled properly.
though i'd need to execute a code using that bot instance, but externally. Lets say i have another bot, and when i type command on bot B, it needs to be executed on bot A instance. I could login on bot B as A, execute, then close, but that'd be useless gateway connections
elfin flower
okay
opal plank
express listening to a webhook?
how would i pass something cross clients, that'd be my question
pure lion
I have no clue but I want to learn so I'm sticking around
quartz kindle
@opal plank you want bot B to receive messages from the gateway and bot A to reply?
opal plank
basically the goal is to have Bot A and Bot B. Bot B sends messages thru Bot A(to prevent ahving to relogin)
2 separate bots, on separate guilds
the execution must be done externally of discord
opal plank
indeed(though im using different applciations, only one is discord, the other isnt discord related)
opal plank
Event emitter and llisterner might be my only option. No, Bot B is completely separate from discord. Bot A(discord) is idle
Bot B(logged onto another IRC app) recieves command, then emit events to Bot A, bot A then can send message onto a specific channel on discord
quartz kindle
so something like an IRC <> Discord bridge
opal plank
kinda yeah
because both events will be emitted locally, i thought i could do something locally aswell
quartz kindle
you can have bot B connect to bot A via some sort of IPC, message broker or websocket
or if you dont need any logic from bot A, you can have bot B send the response via webhook
opal plank
there needs to be no logic involved, i just gotta send an event and then listen on bot A
bot B job is just to fire the event to bot a(where code will be executed)
quartz kindle
so IPC i guess
opal plank
Inter Process Communication?
quartz kindle
yes
pure lion
Can you elaborate? I wanna learn
opal plank
hopefully it doesnt require port fowarding, cuz that fucks me up
quartz kindle
IPC is a connection between two or more processes, it can be unidirectional or bidirectional
so the processes can send messages to each other
pure lion
How do I set one up Tim?
quartz kindle
ipc connections are typically done via unix/windows sockets when on the same machine, or via tcp/websockets if using remote machines
there are also fully featured messaging systems called message brokers, such as zeromq and rabbitmq
the difference is that message brokers feature multiple ways of controlling and ensuring delivery, such as holding on to a message and retrying later in case the target does offline
message brokers usually run in their own contained server, like a database or sorts
pure lion
Okay, so if I wanted to make my two bots(A and B) log to the same db through bot A, I would use one of those?
Basically what I'm asking is what data can be sent?
quartz kindle
if you just need database access you dont need that
unless your database cannot handle multiple connections
solemn latch
🤔
pure lion
Bad example, what would I need it for?
quartz kindle
direct process to process communication
pure lion
a okay
finite bough
use mongodb
quartz kindle
for example
pure lion
It was an example [shiemi]
finite bough
oh mb
quartz kindle
// bot1.js
bot2.send("bla")
// bot2.js
bot1.on("message", message => {
console.log(message) // bla
})
IPC is used in many different ways, for example, discord sharding managers use it to communicate with shards
node has its own internal IPC system that communicates with child processes and worker processes
pure lion
More on shards, could it be used to transfer more data between them?
opal plank
this is actually super handy, i can set the types of events aswell
thought it was going to be a simple fire event
pure lion
Dam
opal plank
it can send JSON which is going to be more than useful
quartz kindle
you can send text or binary, for example stringified json
pure lion
What if I were to start sharding now? (31 servers)
quartz kindle
you would be increasing your resource usage for no reason
cinder patio
It's pointless
pure lion
Okay just curious
opal plank
isnt 1000 the recommended ?
pure lion
2k
quartz kindle
1500
opal plank
long way to go before then
pure lion
You can't join more than 2500 without sharding
digital ibex
you would be increasing your resource usage for no reason
tim, how does this happen? confusion
solemn latch
sharding is using multiple processes to run your bot
pure lion
When you shard the bot is split in to separate processes(?)
quartz kindle
there are multiple ways to shard
discord.js gives you two options out of the box: sharding manager and internal sharding
the typical way is using the sharding manager, which creates a child process for each shard
so if you have 4 shards, you have 4 child processes
quartz kindle
each child process is a full independent instance of node.js, which takes up a minimum of 50mb memory
digital ibex
minimum? what happens if its below 50mb?
solemn latch
a guy i know is swapping his bot to eris, i belive eris has the ability to have multiple shards per process
signal vortex
🍿 this is a good thing for more learning I'ma sit here and take it all in
solemn latch
i think the dank memer bot dev said they have 3 or 4 shards per process, and they use eris
pure lion
Bruhhhhh
opal plank
deno lib iirc
quartz kindle
then you have internal sharding, which instead of creating child processes, it creates websocket connections inside the same process, so you have a single process handling multiple connections to discord. its much more efficient, but since node is single threaded you are limited to only fully utilizing 1 cpu core, so if you have multiple cores, you'd be losing out in performance
discord.js also offers an experimental worker mode with the sharding manager
digital ibex
oh, does eris do internal sharding?
split hazel
yes
digital ibex
oh, is there a way to make it not internal shard or something?
split hazel
im not sure if eris offers other sharding solutions, but there are 3rd party sharders
digital ibex
theres only one way to shard with eris, so i'd have to change the code myself, right?
split hazel
such as eris-sharder
quartz kindle
worker mode uses node.js's new worker processes, which is a mix of both, it creates worker processes instead of child processes, and worker processes can share memory with its parent process, so they are like threads instead of fully independent processes. they can take advantage of multiple cpu cores without creating fully independent node.js instances
pure lion
🍿 😄
digital ibex
oh
split hazel
which creates clusters and splits the shards evenly amongst them
much more efficient since it utilises multiple cores
pure lion
I'm learning so much here school is a lie drop out and do bot Dev lolololol
solemn latch
hopefully worker mode is done before i need sharding 🤔
quartz kindle
the most efficient possible sharding setup is to mix internal sharding with workers and/or children, but that requires manual configuration of shards, no js library does that out of the box
earnest phoenix
They're turning into weebs @opal plank
slender thistle
Well move to general or shitpost if it's offtopic

Hey, I'm trying to make a rich embed with multiple fields, but whenever I try doing so, the description shows as undefined. Is there something that I'm missing?
pale comet
I believe you need to end your variable with ; no?
cursive laurel
At the end of each field?
pale comet
the last one
cursive laurel
It still gives the error
pale comet
Oh
your field
Your fields have 2 values
Name and Value
they both have to be filled out
pure lion
You can only set the description once
cursive laurel
So how come I see bots with multiple fields in them?
pale comet
you can have multiple fields
pure lion
Fields are added as (<string>, <string>)
pale comet
just not multiple descriptions
cursive laurel
Ahh okay
robust arrow
set can only be used once
add can be used multiple times
slender thistle
.addField accepts 3 arguments: name (field name), value (value of the field), and inline (a boolean arg that should be self-explanatory)
pale comet
(I don't use discord.js I just know a little so I might get something wrong)
cursive laurel
Since this is the first time I'm experimenting with message embeds
pale comet
ALTHOUGH this is how I did my fields

is that djs?
robust arrow
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.addField('field title', 'description of field')
.setThumbnail(message.author.avatarURL())
.setColor(0xffffff)
.setFooter('footer');
``` this is how I make embedsyeah p much the same I just do my fields differently because that's just how I learned :P

same
pale comet
this is how it's done in discord.py
earnest phoenix
hey guys, how u doing
I have a question
basically can i make my bot send a message in a specific channel after 15 mins of inactivity using discord.py?
slender thistle
on_message event with asyncio.sleep or discord.py tasks even
solemn latch
Keeping your program alive on glitch?

earnest phoenix
lol not my prob, my client asks for sth and i provide
solemn latch
Ye
earnest phoenix
not my business why he/she wants it
quartz kindle
yes its possible, and quite easy to make
slender thistle
quartz kindle
define an object/struct/dictionary or something
add a channel to it, as a key, with a timestamp as a value
on every message you receive, check the channel it comes from, if it matches a key, update its timestamp
then run a timer somewhere that sends a message if said timestamp was not updated for 15 min
quartz kindle
or you can store the timer itself in the object/dict
and reset it on every message
slender thistle
A hint: discord.py tasks might be handy
earnest phoenix
yes
@quartz kindle plz Can you help me in dm 😅 or say if you are busy
i might need a task here fir the timer
earnest phoenix
can i use on_message with a discord.py task or only events?
slender thistle
Do you need multiple channels or just one?
earnest phoenix
one
ancient falcon
I have carefully read your source and, unfortunately, it does not quite seem to be answering my question. As thus I assume I have poorly formulated it and will proceed to reformulate it.
I'd like a way to either execute IF statements within the MySQL query or a way to get a list of all the columns existing within a table. Hope I've formulated it better this time and I haven't missed something in the link you sent.
ancient falcon
Oh yeah something lke SHOW COLUMNS FROM table,
how is that returned when using the mysql-connector-python as an array?
slender thistle
@earnest phoenix .cancel() and .start() the task on sent message, the task having a decorator tasks.loop(minutes=15, count=1)
quartz kindle
should return as an array of objects/dicts/tuples or something similar
each row contains column name, type, attributes, etc
slender thistle
Does mysql-connector not use tuples for returned data compared to sqlite3?
quartz kindle
i keep forgetting about tuples, they dont exist in js lul
slender thistle
Just a blind guess without reading the docs tbh, just assumed that mysql-connector would utilize tuples for... consistency, I guess?
And probably differences in performance compared to lists
wise verge
how can i change discord.py to one.py
slender thistle
Uhhh what
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix .cancel() and .start() the task on sent message, the task having a decorator

@slender thistle .how do and where do i use cancel() and .start()?
how can i change discord.py to one.py
@wise verge

In the on_message event

You create a task with that decorator outside of the event and then cancel/start it on each message sent

slender thistle
in the message thing?
earnest phoenix
how I add a role in v12?
slender thistle
The some stuff here is replaced with a check for the needed channel
earnest phoenix
in the message thing?
@slender thistleasync def on_message(message), themessageinside the paranthesis
slender thistle
It's an argument that contains the message object, you don't do anything about it
You use it in the event itself
earnest phoenix
so i put it in as message?
slender thistle
It doesn't really make a difference what you call it, it's a variable that you'll use
slender thistle
But yes, you should leave it if you don't want errors
solemn latch
Things and stuff
slender thistle
I'd put a check there for the channel ID and if channels match, "restart" the task
earnest phoenix
i put that in the eee async
slender thistle
the eee is a task that should send the message
slender thistle
To handle the actual run of it is done in on_message

I've found that bcrypt compiled on OSX will not quite work on Linux. In other words, if you check in the bcrypt compiled on your local OSX workstation, and try to run the node app on your linux servers, you will see the error above.
Solution: npm install bcrypt on Linux, check that in, solved.
Probably the best way to deal with this is exclude your node_modules in .gitignore... and npm install remotely.

Though if I keep the code on the main folder then it works
earnest phoenix
@slender thistle no progress 
earnest phoenix
ok
celest schooner
@quartz kindle it worked thanks
earnest phoenix
@slender thistle all the code i got
slender thistle
Someone forgot an event decorator on on_message
earnest phoenix
wait why is my count 2
Someone forgot an event decorator on on_message
@slender thistle wdym?
OHHH
@client.event
slender thistle
Aye
cursive laurel
@quartz kindle I was following along a tutorial
ReferenceError: MessageEmbed is not defined
I also keep getting this error popping up
cursive laurel
The 1st screenshot which is under a section of the command file has it
quartz kindle
@cursive laurel you can do ```js
let command = bot.commands.get(args[0]);
if(command) { command.execute(msg,args); }
that replaces the switch case
and inside the command file you dont need any switch case
just directly create and send the embed
cursive laurel
Okay
cursive laurel
verify is the only command file I have at the moment
slender thistle
Oh there's restart method for tasks
hidden lynx
How can we add the modules (e. g. The verified thing) to the command collection?
sudden geyser
What do you mean?
hidden lynx
I mean when you create an extra module in another file. How do you add this to the bot.commands
Collection?
sudden geyser
Ah, what language are you using, and what is bot.commands specifically? Is it an array? A map? A type of "collection" from a library (such as Discord.js)?
hidden lynx
Yes exactly
The discord js "Collection" type
I saw some fancy stuff using fs to fetch all files
sudden geyser
You can use the .set(K, V) method. The K is usually the command name and the V is the data on that command (such as an object or class representing the command). If your commands are stored in separate files, you can use the fs module's readdir method to read the directory where you store your commands and load them.
If it doesn't make sense, check out this guide: https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/#dynamically-reading-command-files
hidden lynx
Omg thanks for the link! That's exactly what I was looking for. Actually a pretty clean way of how the library is handling commands👍
sudden geyser
It's not the library. It's how Node.js and you are handling it.
hidden lynx
Yeah but isn't the Collection something specific that comes from the library? Actually just an object, right?
sudden geyser
Yes that part is. However, any form of storage could do. You could even go with an plain old object or Map
hidden lynx
I don't know too much about Maps. Aren't they similar to objects but with some special way of setting and getting properties?
solemn latch
Collections are just an extension of map.
https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/collections.html#array-like-methods
sudden geyser
Very similar with several differences. A Discord.js Collection is like a Map (it extends it in fact) with a few more features as well. You can see some of the key differences (along with some more props/methods you have) here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map
dawn pebble
yo im new at bot dev can someone give me a hand on a project?
im pretty sure its very simple stuff
sudden geyser
Are you having issues with something not working in your code, or just want someone to contribute to your project
dawn pebble
im trying to understand how to do something with Message Mention
grizzled raven
is this normal 
dawn pebble
im tiring to make a code that warns people that mentions someone in particular
small haven
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'guild'
```py @client.command(pass_context=True) async def mute(ctx, member): role = get(member.guild.roles, name='Muted') await member.add_roles(role) await ctx.send("Role added")
oh god
sudden geyser
Henriq what library are you using, and what have you tried already
tidal cedar
Probably need to get the user?
small haven
mmm
slender thistle
Use a type annotation discord.Member
dawn pebble
i think im only using discord.js
small haven
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def mute(ctx, discord.Member):
role = get(member.guild.roles, name='Muted')
await member.add_roles(role)
await ctx.send("Role added")
like that?
tidal cedar
Does anyone know of a way to get the last x messages efficiently in discord4j?
small haven
or did you mean on
await.add_roles(role)
slender thistle
type annotation for the argument member
tidal cedar
member : discord.Member
slender thistle
not "replace the member argument"
small haven
sweet, that worked
sudden geyser
henriq have you tried using <Message>.mentions to get a list of mentioned members/users/roles/etc.?
small haven
thank yall my dudes. sorry for being a lil dumb
sudden geyser
You're trying to get the mentioned member in a message and warn them, correct? If so, you can check the message mentions and get a collection of members mentioned (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/MessageMentions?scrollTo=members). Each message has a .mentions property. Although, it may cause issues if more than one member is mentioned.
dawn pebble
can u join testing 1 it would be ester to explain if you don t mind
vernal vapor
Hey could someone check this and see where the mistake in my html is (it's not working in website)
sudden geyser
Sorry, I don't like speaking.

No prob
dawn pebble
ok then thank you anyways
vernal vapor
Dw I have it

how do i make the bot ban everyone lol
earnest phoenix
Thats called api abuse which is against ToS
elfin flower
lol

How do i make my bot steal all server invites to post it on a website so people raid their servers?
||clearly a joke||
solemn latch
You've been reported to discord
opal plank
lmao

Yikes what did I walk into 🤦🏻♂️
solemn latch
Tell them to use tiktok aparently
restive pebble
lol
earnest phoenix
Either ask a serious question else its probably a good idea to keep the channel on topic.
ember lodge
So emm..
Someone knows how can i separate the color of a website in 2 pieces?
Something like this https://i.imgur.com/5lbUQ2w.png
solemn latch
After around 10, I start taking those rules less seriously.
None of the mods care at this point
/s
You can define the background color of each div
Or row
Or span.
Or whatever your using
ember lodge
oh thxs
earnest phoenix
oP
restive pebble
ok
solemn latch
The best way I found to learn about css stuff.
Just inspect stuff on webpages you see on how to do it
humble gyro
@ember lodge use display: flex to have multiple divs next to each other
warm marsh
Your discord name is hard to mention therefore you get a lovely easy to mention one.
ember lodge
Thank you
humble gyro
there's a bunch of css frameworks that help a lot with this
earnest phoenix
@humble gyro my nickname remove plz
humble gyro
no
humble gyro
don't ping me for stupid shit like that
indigo folio
@earnest phoenix change ur tag
sudden geyser
You don't need nitro to change the username part
earnest phoenix
tag saying nope
earnest phoenix
i mean tag tag #
slender thistle
You don't need to change the tag. To change your username, you don't need Nitro
Also, move to #general with this
sudden geyser
yeah ty
rain cradle
How do you check ping?
(on discord.py)
rain cradle
@!←What does it mean?
earnest phoenix
what
lyric mountain
<@!ID>
earnest phoenix
<@silentid>
lyric mountain
Also check for <@ID>
earnest phoenix
lyric mountain
Because sometimes it doesn't have !
sudden geyser
Or you could use the dedicated .mentions property on a messaage.
slender thistle
How do you check ping?
(on discord.py)
Latency or message mentions
rain cradle
Latency
slender thistle
Websocket latency: client.latency
API response time: calculate time between sending requests and receiving a response
P.S. import time and time.time()
rain cradle
Sorry, I want to get User's latency.
slender thistle
User's latency? I don't think that's possible on Discord
pale vessel
like the timestamp difference?
rain cradle
like the timestamp difference?
Oh, I'll use it. Thank you.
vernal vapor
Wanted to ask using CSS how would I make the buttons transparent similar to this (also is there a way to change colour of the title as well, second is mine cos image doesn't blend well)
grizzled raven
opacity:
sudden geyser
is e.code not an integer?
maiden mauve
as far as I know e.code has to be an integer
all discord errors are integers
oh wait
you think making it a string
oh
sudden geyser
Yeah, and you're comparing a number with a string. Also you never actually return'd in the if statement so it'll log anyway.
maiden mauve
hahaha
wow I went on a mission to strict my code
and totally missed thaty
it was probably == before
opal plank
anyone know SQL syntax rather well or postgres?
well, gonna ask either way if someone's lurking
say i have this object
let foo = {name: 'test', location:'somewhere'}```
Now i have a postgres jsonb table
its contains an array of objects inside like foo above.
To query filter it i can do ``filter->>'name'`` to find the proper row that its contained, however:
```js
//in the table
[{name:'bob', location:'bar'}, {a:1, b:2}, {n:1, m:4}]```
lets say i want to replace ``{a:1, b:2}`` obj in that table with the ``foo`` mentioned above(order doesnt matter)
the only non destructive way i see to get that would be using operator ``#-`` with the index of that object.
however im not seeing a way in SQL to get index of that object to define it to be deleted without destroying the array and checking individually
or returning the obj to js and then resending it after its been parsed on the code(instead of using SQL query)
any tips?
wide sage
any better alternative to heroku and glitch without paying any cents?
pale vessel
no
winter basalt
not that we know of
reef mantle
Anyone here?
pale vessel
as you can see
reef mantle
Ok so
I want a code for the bot to change its role color after 5 mins
Is it possible? @pale vessel
pale vessel
no
winter basalt
we dont do spoonfeeding
pale vessel
yes but no
reef mantle
Why?
pale vessel
that's rainbow role
pale vessel
even every 5 minutes, it's not allowed
winter basalt
rainbow role bad
reef mantle
You mean that code doesn't exist or something?
pale vessel
it does
reef mantle
I want it pls
pale vessel
not happening
opal plank
it means you'll get flagged by internal flags and get your bot banned
opal plank
api spam/abuse
reef mantle
Thank you

winter basalt
bruh
pale vessel
bruh wtf
opal plank
the iq here is really low isnt it?
pale vessel
that's 5 secs too
pale vessel
😩 kill me
pale vessel
nah i misread
reef mantle
-_-
opal plank
@wide sage help the noobs api abuse and get their tokens revoked? and spoonfeeding code?
winter basalt
ah yes, helping.
pale vessel
amazing
opal plank
should tag a mod for that one
earnest phoenix
"helping"
opal plank
the level of sass
reef mantle
Don't worry my bot will be banned not me
opal plank
@reef mantle not like you link your account, right?
earnest phoenix
if you're linked to several bots doing api abuse you'll be banned too
winter basalt
sometimes i just wanna take a sip of coffee and hope to die out of nowhere
reef mantle
:'(
pale vessel
@wide sage come on
winter basalt
spoonfeeding api abuse code, not cool
pale vessel
bro i'm not doing this shit
reef mantle
Wait guys
opal plank
@craggy pine read above pls
winter basalt
spoonfeeding doesn't necessarily mean the same code as youre using
opal plank
i'll just let someone take care of that, fuck it
reef mantle
Is coding a DM bot ok if it's used in only one server?
Is coding a DM bot ok if it's used in only one server?
@reef mantle anyone?

I meant is it legal to make it?
Ok thanx

actually what you cant do is anonymous dms and mass dms

api abuse, dm bot, spoonfeeding
spare goblet
b abusing discord api
opal plank
pick one
spare goblet
please don't spoonfeed users or encourage abusing the api
if you continue you will be muted
no it doesn't
and it's against the rules
so read #rules-and-info
opal plank
spare goblet
well even if it hElPed you, it's still not an etiquette we support and would appreciate if you refrain
opal plank
spoonfeeding helps who? teaches people to copy paste code, thats it
winter basalt
well its at the least better if you manage to figure out what the code and each line does
opal plank
thats what docs snippets are for
https://discordjs.guide for a complete guide
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/general/welcome this for a what each thing does
spare goblet
stop arguing
spoonfeeding is not allowed as stated in the rules, periodt
breaking the tos is also not allowed, periodt
stop encouraging or helping people to do so
opal plank
^^
spare goblet
@reef mantle also stop asking for something that's against discord api and abuses it, there is that rule for a reason, you were asked to stop but wouldn't until someone spoonfed you
spare goblet
If you need more explanation, check out discord's developer guidelines
https://discord.com/developers/docs/legal
spare goblet
Even if you "not ask" it is still against Discord developer guidelines
meaning you'll eventually gotem bannum

we don't handle bot verification? discord does it ?
or are u talking about top.gg approval

takes 2-4 weeks rn

@gusty oracle Discord takes usually a couple weeks, almost a month to get. you can apply in the portal https://discord.com/developers/applications once your bot reaches 75 servers
