Do i put my 4 apps that are part of my bot in one git repo or do i make one repo for each? all run on different vps.
The 4 apps are: 1. node.js bot docker, 2. node.js website docker, 3. database docker 4. manager server docker

neat harness
Can you save files with a custom extension but with a json format and still open it the same as json?
earnest phoenix
You realize everything you put in a file with a json extension an for example change the extension to txt, the content still stays right?
neat harness
yes
earnest phoenix
I mean the content would only stay if you change the extension to something that can be opened as a text file
neat harness
yes
earnest phoenix
So yes
neat harness
Awh
That's great then xd
Also I still remember my bot removed for leaking the eval command, any better way to do it than "return"
?
@earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
What you mean by any better way to do it than "return"
Like make the eval only usable to the owners or wot I'm confused
earnest phoenix
let ownerIDs = ["ID of owner", "ID of another owner", "ID of the another owner"];
// There can be one owner too, this just depends how many owners the bot has
// Start of the eval command
//
// If owner ids array doesn't include the user's ID, just return
// Or just send a message by `return message.channel.send("You\'re not an owner");` for example
if (!ownerIDs.includes(<message>.author.id)) return;
// Do the eval command
// End of the eval command```Oh okay thanks
golden condor
Why use a \ on an apostrophe if you are using speech marks
earnest phoenix
Wot
earnest phoenix
Yes, if there's 2 of them, this would not work
golden condor
Because you are using speech marks
golden condor
What
uh
Well
It is supposed to tell the discord gateway which events to send you, and which not to send
And also which properties you need to access
Such as presence
Or guild members
golden condor
Recieving... Specific events?
delicate shore
like dnd online invisible
earnest phoenix
Saving of memories, it just identifies what to send and what not, for example it doesn't return the properties that is not used
golden condor
@golden condor presence of users?
@delicate shore yes, that is a special intent
It also saves memory
delicate shore
but my bot can tell if user is dnd , online or offline
earnest phoenix
Only returns the properties used
delicate shore
without it
golden condor
but my bot can tell if user is dnd , online or offline
@delicate shore won't be able to after October
You need the presence intent after October
It is required.
neat harness
Discord is using 90% CPU and 2 GB RAM dfq...
delicate shore
oh
earnest phoenix
Intents usage is required after October 7th of 2020
delicate shore
but now i said i don't need intent
golden condor
You have to declare intents after october
earnest phoenix
Events will be intents
golden condor
I've already done it
delicate shore
You have to declare intents after october
@golden condor and how to use it i my code
golden condor
Declare it in the client

Hi
eternal osprey
could anyone help me with removing decimals from a python calculation
earnest phoenix
:-
eternal osprey
?
ionic warren
hello, I am making a bot that will send photos of cats when requested. anybody know how to make a command that will pick a random photo each time but with the same command?
eternal osprey
you have to create a databasse for that
or scrape it from an existing source
beatifulsoup is a good library for that
sinful belfry
or an api
eternal osprey
but i am not that good with python
am i allowed to ssend pastebin links here?
because i am trying to remove decimals
sinful belfry
sure
sinful belfry
@ionic warren try using this api https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search
ionic warren
ty ill take a look
sinful belfry
you need to send a GET request
eternal osprey
owh yeah that is a good one
eternal osprey
could anyone help me with my code please?
sinful belfry
what exactly are you trying to do?
eternal osprey
to remove the extra decimals
in my calculation
look:
i am trying to make it a whole number
terse gust
k
eternal osprey
?
if you have nothing useful to say, don't say these useless things.
i am asking for help and you respond with k?
like you don
care
ionic warren
questionnnn: how do i even use the cat api paha
eternal osprey
python or javascript?
sinful belfry
i'm not entirely sure @eternal osprey, i guess try asking someone who knows python when they come online
sorry
sinful belfry
@ionic warren you need to use a module to make a GET request to that URL i sent earlier
https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios something like this
the response body will contain JSON, and you just need to extract the URL from there
ionic warren
ohhhh okie ty
sinful belfry
if you're still unsure, feel free to ask lol
sinful belfry
don't worry too much about the api itself, that is pretty simple
it will just return a response which looks something like:
[
{
"breeds": [],
"id": "1it",
"url": "https://cdn2.thecatapi.com/images/1it.jpg",
"width": 500,
"height": 375
}
]
but in order to get that response (which returns a random image btw), you need to make a GET request to a specific URL
ionic warren
do i need to download axios?
sinful belfry
yeah, you can npm install axios or any other module you may prefer to use, if any
ionic warren
okay its installed
sinful belfry
it is pretty simple to use (this is the example given on the npm page)
axios.get('/user?ID=12345') // this is the URL you are sending the GET request to
.then(function (response) {
// this is the response returned by the api
console.log(response);
});
and the response, looks something like this https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/745593276937011293
the URL you want to be sending the request to is https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search
so just replace the '/user?ID=12345' bit with the api URL
delicate shore
@sinful belfry out of curiosity
Do you also use discord canary version?
if yes then what's so special about it
golden condor
Updates all the time
sinful belfry
^
golden condor
You get features early
delicate shore
Oh
golden condor
But it's unstable
delicate shore
features like
sinful belfry
yeah there are lots of dumb bugs lol
sinful belfry
nice
ionic warren
@sinful belfry where abouts in the code will i put the url to be exact?
sinful belfry
ionic warren
i was confused on when you sent the ' ' because they were in the image sorry
sinful belfry
oh lol
ionic warren
okay is there anything i do after that?
sinful belfry
so you need to extract the URL of the image from the response
ionic warren
how does one do that?
sinful belfry
and then send the URL/put it into an embed etc.
sinful belfry
i think axios parses it for you, so you just need to do response[0].url to extract the URL
delicate shore
nice
ionic warren
im so confused rnnn im new to all this aaa
i feel like that one kid who tries to blend in with the others by pretending he knows what hes talking about
ionic warren
true
sinful belfry
no clue
not used either lol
actually i probs use medium more to follow tutorials
ionic dawn
ionic warren
where do i extract the url huh
ionic warren
do i replace anything?
sinful belfry
nope, no need
ionic warren
only the user12345 thing
sinful belfry
yeah
ionic warren
okie ty
what do i do once i put the link? sorry for back tracking im just trying to wrap my head fully around it so i can learn it
sinful belfry
you need to then add your code which handles the response you get from the api
which goes inside the .then
delicate shore
yo
ionic warren
no idea how to do that ๐ญ
delicate shore
top.gg/bot/api doesn't work for me
golden condor
Immause medium then, I wish it supported markdown tho ๐
delicate shore
it says bad request
sinful belfry
no idea how to do that ๐ญ
@ionic warren don't worry, just break it down into smaller steps
if you console.log(response); , you will see this https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/745593276937011293
delicate shore
@ionic warren you are new to coding ? right ?
ionic warren
mhmm
delicate shore
ok
sinful belfry
all you need to do is extract the URL from the response https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/745595625193603132
ionic warren
i should probably start with something a lot more basic but we roll
sinful belfry
and then do whatever you need to with that URL (this is the URL of the image returned from the api btw)
delicate shore
u
sinful belfry
then you can just send that URL in a discord embed, or just as an ordinary message
sinful belfry
you need to do channel.send(response[0].url); in order to just send the url to the channel
and in most cases, you can just get the channel from the command message
ionic warren
will it upload the photo its self or a link that takes you to the photo?
sinful belfry
it will show you the photo within discord
ionic warren
okay nice
sinful belfry
discord handles all that
like this:
i just sent a url, and discord has automatically turned it into a viewable image
ionic warren
oh nice yay
frigid rivet
sinful belfry
ok so because you're making a request to the api, it takes time and the response will not be instant. so as soon as the api has returned a response to your request, the code in the .then will run (which is just a function)
you can do .then(function (response) { // code here is run when a response is given });
ionic warren
i dont need to change anything in the .then right?
sinful belfry
you just need to add to it
golden condor
Or you can use async but let's like not do that rn lol
sinful belfry
so as soon as the api has sent you the stuff you want, you just need to extract the stuff you truly want (the url) and then send that into a channel
ionic warren
im not sure what im meant to add- aghhhh
sinful belfry
ionic warren
do i copy and paste that?
sinful belfry
you can, yeah
delicate shore
also whats an embed?
@ionic warren Discord Message Embed
sinful belfry
but you need to make sure you're defining channel
cinder sandal
how var works in discord.js?
ionic warren
okay we are getting somewhere ig
sinful belfry
it is just a variable @cinder sandal
ionic warren
so how do i define channel?
cinder sandal
can you use it everywhere in the code?
delicate shore
but you need to make sure you're defining
channel
@sinful belfry I mean. u can do <message>.channel.send
sinful belfry
^
cinder sandal
tried to put it in another block, but it says undefined
sinful belfry
that is how it is accessed in pretty much all cases when using commands
@cinder sandal can u send ur code
ionic warren
ohhh i get it
delicate shore
why i did <message> is because some people async it to msg
earnest phoenix
how
varworks in discord.js?
@cinder sandal Global variable,varis not scoped butletandconstare block scoped
delicate shore
so they need to replace it with thing they defined it as in event
ionic warren
what do i put after message.channel.send?
sinful belfry
within the .send(), you need to put the url in that you got from the response
as shown in the linked message
cinder sandal
message.channel.send(<MessageEmbed> <'Text'>)
earnest phoenix
No Actually
west agate
how would i make a collector for a user's DM channel?
earnest phoenix
message.channel.send(<Text>, { embed: <embed> });``` @cinder sandal this is how it'sim so lost oh dear god.
cinder sandal
i use the embed constructor istead of this
sinful belfry
@ionic warren dont worry about embeds
you had the right idea
just send the image link
cinder sandal
const(or let) Embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed
i use those
ionic warren
so where exactly do i put the message.channel.send part
sinful belfry
within the .then
as soon as you've gotten a response from the api, you want to extract the url and send it to the channel
cinder sandal
.then(function => {
// some things
}```hhh
earnest phoenix
.then can take both js <Promise>.then((...parameters) => {}) and js <Promise>.then(function(...parameters) {})
eternal osprey
hey boys i am back
if i use $po weather (and i dont include a place or name) the bot exits out with these typerrors:
var current = result[0].current;
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'current' of undefined
if (result.length === 0) {
message.channel.send('**Please enter a valid location.**')
}```i want it to send this code
west agate
how would i make a message collector in a users dm?
eternal osprey
it clearly doesn't
earnest phoenix
Just js if (!result) { // Send the message }
eternal osprey
is that meant for me?
earnest phoenix
Yes
eternal osprey
okay
west agate
can anyone help me pls?
cinder sandal
my random status changes to the same status sometimes, how do i stop that?
so it would select a diffrent status and not the same every time
eternal osprey
''TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
earnest phoenix
Did you even do what i said
cinder sandal
my random status changes to the same status sometimes, how do i stop that?
@cinder sandal
eternal osprey
@west agate i think you can use this: if ( message.channel.type === 'dm'){
message.channel.createMessageCollector(filter, { time: 15000 });
i am not sure tho
earnest phoenix
@west agate This
let dmChannelU = await <Message>.author.createDM();
dmChannelU.createMessageCollector(...parameters);```
faint prism
That third = means type specific as well. Is .type a string?
west agate
oh thanks
earnest phoenix
@faint prism type of the channel
faint prism
Right, is that property a string?
delicate shore
@eternal osprey u can use if special type of para is undefined
then it can return
earnest phoenix
returns an string
eternal osprey
if (!result === 0) {
message.channel.send('**Please enter a valid location.**') ```Bruh
eternal osprey
var current = result[0].current;
^
TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
faint prism
Is result an array? And not null?
earnest phoenix
if (!result) {
return message.channel.send('**Please enter a valid location.**');
}```i know i've done that
eternal osprey
var current = result[0].current;
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'current' of undefined
delicate shore
@eternal osprey i mean if result.parahere === undefined return
eternal osprey
i did
golden condor
result is not an array then
delicate shore
@eternal osprey which package?
eternal osprey
weather-js
delicate shore
i also use that
earnest phoenix
What's result defined as? @eternal osprey
split hazel
It would show that if the 0 indexed element doesn't exist?
delicate shore
and u know what i do
if (result === undefined || result.length === 0)
return msg.channel.send("**Invalid** location");
@split hazel No, it would show it if the result isn't an array
eternal osprey
Why do people use packages for everything
@golden condor because it makes it easier , lol
eternal osprey
okay
earnest phoenix
Or it's undefined
golden condor
Just use an api
delicate shore
^^
golden condor
Not an API wrapper
earnest phoenix
Using api for everything is a bad practice, sometimes you gotta make things native
golden condor
You don't do your own currency
delicate shore
You don't do your own currency
@golden condor no
earnest phoenix
Remember that apis don't always return a response
golden condor
Sometimes I just code stuff into my code
delicate shore
ok
eternal osprey
return msg.author.send("Invalid location");
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined
delicate shore
wha
eternal osprey
ya
cinder sandal
my random status changes to the same status sometimes, how do i stop that?
@cinder sandal still not answered
delicate shore
have u defined msg?
split hazel
bruh what is msg defined as
split hazel
please try to understand and integrate the code into yours instead of just straight up copy pasting
west agate
didn't work
eternal osprey
let msg = message.content.toUpperCase();
earnest phoenix
@cinder sandal Just make it iterate through the array of status without picking a random index from the array
cinder sandal
code?
delicate shore
just replace msg with message
@eternal osprey
delicate shore
k
cinder sandal
setInterval(() => {
const randomStatusMessages = // random status messages
const randomStatus = randomStatusMessages[Math.floor(Math.random() * randomStatusMessages.length)]; // does math to make them random
client.user.setActivity(randomStatus); // bot status
}, 300000); // updatd once 5 min```
How to make it not select the same status sometimes
quartz kindle
you have 2 options:
earnest phoenix
let activityList = [<activities here>];
let copyActivity = [ ...activityList ];
setInterval(() => {
<client>.user.setActivity(activityList[0]);
if (activityList.length === 1) {
return activityList = copyActivity;
} else {
return activityList.shift();
}
}, <Amount of time in milliseconds to change activity in>);```what to put in the copyavtivity list?
quartz kindle
a. keep track of which status is currently selected, for example by saving the status number in a global variable or attached to client
b. before setting a new status, get the current status, find its index in the status list and prevent the same index from being used again
earnest phoenix
Just exactly what i put
cinder sandal
you need to put the activities again in let copyactivity?
earnest phoenix
No in the activityList
quartz kindle
c. instead of random activity, make them sequential instead
cinder sandal
bruh
delicate shore
i sent this msg 8 mins ago
it reached now
anyways
how can i use set timeout for every changing status
honest perch
@fiery light console logs client.shards and client.shard
delicate shore
every 5 mins
quartz kindle
use an interval
delicate shore
setInterval(() => {
const randomStatusMessages = // random status messages
const randomStatus = randomStatusMessages[Math.floor(Math.random() * randomStatusMessages.length)]; // does math to make them random
client.user.setActivity(randomStatus); // bot status
}, 300000); // updatd once 5 min```i found this above

@eternal osprey anyone that knows the answer on this question?

@split hazel these kind of bots cannot be approved for top.gg right ?
as it's simply clonning

It cannot be a direct clone but as long as its significantly modified we allow it

Do u guys check it ?
if it is modified
because u cannot remeber eveyr bot structure

Is it more efficient to fetch all messages and the filter them, or fetch them with a filter?
pale vessel
i don't think you can filter using fetch
delicate shore
^^
pale vessel
but you can filter the cache
so if you need to filter using fetch, you have to fetch them first
earnest phoenix
@cinder sandal This is what i tried and it worked for example
let activities = ["Bruh moment?", "Nani", "Wtf", "Hol up", "Wot"];
let copyArray = [ ...activities ];
setInterval(() => {
bot.user.setActivity(activities[0]);
if (activities.length === 1) {
activities = copyArray;
} else {
activities.shift();
}
}, 300000);```didn't work
earnest phoenix
Did you try the exact way i did?
cinder sandal
yea
earnest phoenix
What's the problem tho
cinder sandal
changing them from const to let works fine
earnest phoenix
In the ready event?
pallid igloo

hey boys, how do i block comamnds from working dms in python language?
cinder sandal
yes
pallid igloo
Oh wait..
slender thistle
hey boys, how do i block comamnds from working dms in python language?
@eternal osprey Could you please elaborate?
You want commands to only be used in servers?
earnest phoenix
@cinder sandal You need to put what i said inside the message event
eternal osprey
i can still use my distance bot in the dms of the bot
slender thistle
Are you using discord.py's commands extension?
pallid igloo
the python equivalent of if(message.channel.type == 'dm') return;
slender thistle
Are you using discord.py's commands extension?
eternal osprey
i don't think so
slender thistle
Do you have your commands in on_message with if statements or @commands.command()?
eternal osprey
no
pallid igloo
Idk python so iamma head out..
slender thistle
it was one or another, not a yes/no question
pallid igloo
no
that wasn't a boolean question..
eternal osprey
Are you using discord.py's commands extension?
pale vessel
no is not a boolean but okay
slender thistle
So that's a yes, then
pallid igloo
xD..
eternal osprey
oowpsie
slender thistle
In any case, you can use the @commands.guild_only() decorator
eternal osprey
okay, thanks!
pallid igloo
Decorator is like the python name for methods?
slender thistle
(or go the "fuck all" way and do if not message.guild: return)
pallid igloo
XD
eternal osprey
wahahhah okayyy
delicate shore
๐
slender thistle
The difference between that if and the decorator is that the decorator will raise an error that you can handle in the on_command_error event
delicate shore
My bot got flagged for discord whitelisting

@delicate shore It's infact unknown but surely will take more time than usual

oh sad pikachu noises

how can my bot send a message to the first channel that can find when it join a discord server ?
west agate
how would i get a channel in a message?
delicate shore
i was wondering how people do that thing in which if i did !Hell bot will not respond
But if i edit msg to !help it will respond
slender thistle
Essentially, a decorator can modify what the function happens to be
>>> from discord.ext.commands import Bot
>>> a = Bot(command_prefix="None")
>>> from discord.ext.commands import command
>>> @command()
... async def yeet(ctx):
... return "yeet"
...
>>> yeet
<discord.ext.commands.core.Command object at 0x0000021E419A3880>
>>> del yeet
>>> async def yeet():
... return "yeet"
...
>>> yeet
<function yeet at 0x0000021E419A4D30>

hi

how would i get the channel in text? like if i say "i select #random-chanel"
ivory seal
with a client.on(message function how do you get the guild id?
slender thistle
i was wondering how people do that thing in which if i did !Hell bot will not respond
But if i edit msg to !help it will respond
@delicate shore listen for the message edit event and check the message content
oh, you mean physically send another one.
ivory seal
@delicate shore but message.guild.id doesn't work
slender thistle
message.content.startsWith("!help")
earnest phoenix
@lean wing js <JoinedGuild>.channels.cache.filter(c => c.type === "text" && c.permissionsFor(<client>.user).has(["VIEW_CHANNEL", "SEND_MESSAGES"])).first().send(<content>);
slender thistle
aka don't use toLowerCase or anything of that sort
ivory seal
pls help

@earnest phoenix
thanks
eternal osprey
but should to be clear, i should remove the @bot.command() and replace it with @commands.guild_only()
slender thistle
No
ivory seal
var guildformessage=message.guild.id;
const prefix=guildEnmap.get(guildformessage,"prefix");
console.log(prefix);
if(message ==`${prefix}prefix`){
message.channel.send("The Prefix is"+prefix);
}
}); ```this is where i have a problem
delicate shore
listen for the message edit event and check the message content
does message edit event comes under message event?
i mean in
ivory seal
message.guild.id doesn't work
slender thistle
@bot.command() marks the function as a command, you don't remove it
You just put the second decorator above or below the command one
cinder sandal
@earnest phoenix , the problem with the same status is fixed. i just needed to change const to let.
pallid igloo
var guildformessage=message.guild.id; const prefix=guildEnmap.get(guildformessage,"prefix"); console.log(prefix); if(message ==`${prefix}prefix`){ message.channel.send("The Prefix is"+prefix); } }); ```
@ivory seal What is the error? cannot read property of x of undefined or smth else?
slender thistle
message.content.startsWith("!help")
@delicate shore you'll need the thing above
delicate shore
I was wondering if you are discord.js or py since u are asking questions of both lib
slender thistle
Show the full error please
earnest phoenix
@cinder sandal Of course, i already stated that earlier
ivory seal
@slender thistle are u asking my error
slender thistle
Yup
pallid igloo
it says undefined
I'm not so sure abt enmaps so sowwyy..
ivory seal
it just says undefined
slender thistle
Screenshot or send the error here please
earnest phoenix
What says undefined and where?
ivory seal
undefined in console
slender thistle
Seems that console.log(prefix); returns undefined
delicate shore
@ivory seal i really appreciate you helping me and everyone who doesn't know how to install bot on vps
eternal osprey
@bot.command()
@commands.guild_only()
``` is there any way to check if the channel is dm, then it will say this: this command cannot be used in dms?@delicate shore NP
eternal osprey
because now it sends the error to the console.
ivory seal
ok one sec
earnest phoenix
@ivory seal btw don't do js if (message == `${prefix}prefix`) { because you're comparing a message object to an string
ivory seal
then what should i do @earnest phoenix
delicate shore
but let is better
delicate shore
or message.content.startsWith
ivory seal
i tried both suggestions
delicate shore
so if someone does !prefix wrg rwhw hrheh
earnest phoenix
But the best of is
if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}prefix`)) {```it stilll reples

u can find on top.gg/bot
eternal osprey
is there any cath(err) in python?
slender thistle
Two options, @eternal osprey.
The event below is triggered whenever a command errors out.
@bot.event
async def on_comamnd_error(ctx, error):
# You need to check if the error is coming for a command with "@commands.guild_only()" being ran in DMs.
# For that, you would need "commands.PrivateMessageOnly".
# To actually check that, you need to use the built-in "isinstance" function and compare the error to the class above.
if isinstance(error, commands.PrivateMessageOnly):
await ctx.send("Command(s) must be used only in DMs.")
2) In the command itself,
```py
if not message.guild:
await ctx.send("Command(s) must be used only in DMs.")```ah okay
slender thistle
hold on
delicate shore
no

@cinder sandal Correction:
Remember kids: don't copy paste code from anywhere

opal plank
snort some blow and leave it to stack overflow
delicate shore
uh
slender thistle
is there any cath(err) in python?
@eternal osprey
There is the thing calledtry-exceptthat can be used as following:
try:
a_function_that_raises_an_exception():
except Exception as e:
# the `except` branch will handle all exceptions and Python will store the actual exception under the `e` variable```i am maybe dumb
slender thistle
inside your command itself
cinder sandal
Remember Kids: Do not copy paste from anywhere including discordjs guide except stackoverflow

what oh

i just made a mistake on where to put the code

mhm
"in the command" as in,

# la la la```i opened stackoverflow 1 million times fear me
earnest phoenix
Opened it only 50 times 
ive only copied a regex from stackoverflow, everything else was from docs
@opal plank That's the biggest lie i have ever seen
opal plank
nah, actually
earnest phoenix
We all been to stack overflow many times to learn something
slender thistle
I don't even copy regexes tbh, regex101 is nice
opal plank
earnest phoenix
Wtf
opal plank
this regex here is the one
slender thistle
Haven't learned much from StackOverflow tbh
cinder sandal
We all been to stack overflow many times to learn something
@earnest phoenix ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
opal plank
learn? yes, absolutely, ive been there many times, never have i copied shit from there
except that regex up there in sc
i even let var for that reason
if you find vars in my code, know its not mine
cinder sandal
let > const
opal plank
two cases for each
let is mutable, const is immutable
use it for which cases needs it
earnest phoenix
Actually none are better, their use cases are just different, they must seem the same to beginners.
opal plank
the noob rule is: change everything to const and fix the errors
it'll error the ones you trying to change the value of, so just switch to let
cinder sandal
imagine if u were allowed to change the tag of a bot
cinder sandal
^^
basically u cant bypass permissions with bots
the command that does something that needs a permission wont even work if you don't have one
earnest phoenix
People who hate var is kinda wrong, because as much as i hated var, now i understand that, after i define something inside blocks and try to use it somewhere else, vars are really useful
eternal osprey
my message is not defined
cinder sandal
People who hate
varis kinda wrong, because as much as ihatedvar, now i understand that, after i define something inside blocks and try to use it somewhere else, vars are really useful
@earnest phoenix tried using them in diffrent blocks, returns undefined
slender thistle
Use ctx.message
Because ctx is an instance of Context class, and it has a .message property
eternal osprey
okay
slender thistle
which will give you the Message object
eternal osprey
got it
cinder sandal
var AbcDef = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);```
tried using in other blocks, undefined@cinder sandal
if (3 > 1) {
let something = "Bruh";
}
something; // undefined```
<=>
```js
if (3 > 1) {
var something = "Bruh";
}
something; // "Bruh"```@earnest phoenix it does have it uses, but if you dont know how to use it, it'll cause unintended bugs, as the value changed and it wont be good code wise
if you were to have same named variables that are scoped block, those values might overflow to when you call it again because it wont respect the scopes. For people who dont know better, always tell them to not use vars, regardless. 99% of the time, they are just declaring a variable, not that they need the fuction that var provide
earnest phoenix
I know lol
pallid igloo
Uhh, While using use strict, I think they are the only way to reassign values.
opal plank
almost all cases you'd much better using let to get you a good hang of local scopes
earnest phoenix
I always use let or const, just var when only needed
pallid igloo
Uhh, I never use let or var. Const is needed for some shit. but As a person who doesn't use "use strict", = works just fine for me.
opal plank
thats indeed the correct way of doing it
cinder sandal
vars are just basically for embeds or other things if you want to put the embed or something again in another command.
pallid igloo
varsare just basically for embeds or other things if you want to put the embed or something again in another command.
@cinder sandal Let and=also work for that case.
opal plank
even if its just meme'ing at this point, just point out that using vars is bad unless you know what you doing. Will save you and them a headache
pallid igloo
iiirc, You can overwrite let.
eternal osprey
if not ctx.message.guild:
await ctx.author.send("Command(s) cannot be used in dm, please use the command in the server")
``` for some reason the bot works great right now, but it still doesn't send the desired message?What is ctx?
opal plank
context?
earnest phoenix
@pallid igloo let and var can be overrided again
slender thistle
Because
ctxis an instance ofContextclass, and it has a.messageproperty
carmine summit
what is the use of shards?
eternal osprey
uhhm the ionstance of context class
earnest phoenix
But not const
cinder sandal
someone thinks that discord.py is official
opal plank
Const => shorten for constant, not mutable, constantly(unchangeable)
pallid igloo
what is the use of shards?
@carmine summit It divides the guilds into (arrays) some properties. Thus making the bot faster.
cinder sandal
i explained him that discord cant even make a client
pallid igloo
slender thistle
if not ctx.message.guild:
await ctx.author.send("Command(s) cannot be used in dm, please use the command in the server")
``` for some reason the bot works great right now, but it still doesn't send the desired message?
@eternal osprey Does the command work in DMs still?
opal plank
though i think i know what you meant
earnest phoenix
@pallid igloo Not arrays, it just makes it run different instances of the bot
cinder sandal
we are techinically bots but we can type anything
pallid igloo
Yeah, I didn't have a solid idea.
eternal osprey
it doesn;t anymore
earnest phoenix
Therefore you can't access all guilds of a client easily unless you broadcast an eval
eternal osprey
but i'd love to send a message that they have to try it in the server
opal plank
im 100% becoming a sex offender and idk if its a good thing or not

@viral iris Heroku doesn't save overwritten files
@earnest phoenix thats why when the bot restarts send the embed again

Yes

@cinder sandal before 2019 november, yes.

Can I ask a general question? My native language aint English, so I am always struggling to fully understand documentations. Pepeg. Can someone expalin to me what exactly Map does in javascript? I managed yesterday to use Map to save message.guild.id so more than one users can use my music bot :> But how exactly does it work?
viral iris
Yes
@earnest phoenix can u ?
earnest phoenix
You can't send rich embeds unless a self bot is used, you can only send plain embeds showcasing links
pallid igloo
or maybe a link that u posted which is displaying an image
opal plank
if you get your token(which isnt modding client) and send it via axios or postman or anything really, TEACHNICALLY you arent modifying the client in any way shape or form while still sending an embed payload via a user account
though good luck explaining them that
pallid igloo

There are 3 easy steps to getting help!
- Post your code
- Post your errors
- Send a short description of what you are trying to make
NEVER ask โwill anybody help me?โ or โHello is anybody willing to help me outโ as it wastes and makes helping you out slower, simply post your issue and a helper will get to you as soon as possible.
This is a serious issue and you need to work on this

Against popular belief "does not work" is not sufficient information to provide to receive help.
What's the expected (wanted) behaviour, what's the actual (unwanted) behaviour? Do you get any errors? What's your relevant code that might be causing the issue?
