@delicate shore I have 100 lines in my index, But a total of 13k lines in my whole bot.
@pallid igloo i have 7k in total 2k in index

what is that ?
delicate shore
i also use command handler
pallid igloo
Event handler?
delicate shore
no
pallid igloo
what is that ?
@visual lake Api password for your bot.
no
@delicate shore Acceptable. Not everybody listens to all the events.
opal plank
so whatever password you put there, you also put in the code
@pallid igloo thats where you wrong kiddo

@earnest phoenix
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 “will anybody help me?” or “Hello is anybody willing to help me out” 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
Visit https://dontasktoask.com/ for more info about this issue.
I hope you understand !

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?

We mostly deal with differentiation and integration in calculus. sympy generally helps way too much with it
@slender thistle my last example was probably making a Windows form app that did statistical analysis on a bunch of data points in a text file
It was the first time I had ever used a async :3
slender thistle
"form app"
Oh right you're C# gang
faint prism
Yeye, dotnet for lyfe
But I did it in python too
And bash at first. Which was a terrible language to do it in.
slender thistle
faint prism
It has no advanced math functions. I had to pipe to BC every time, which added A FUCKLOAD of latency to calculations
slender thistle
Geez
faint prism
where python could calculate stats for 100m random datapoints in an instant. Bash ran overnight and didn't finish

C# is way faster than python. For maths I would use c# anyday

Yeah but the margin which c# is faster is really astonishing

i get an error saying for server in Client.servers: ^ SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
do you guys know why
pale vessel
doorthief moment
modest smelt
@slender thistle do u have any clue?
slender thistle
aye, use .guilds everywhere
pale vessel
but the error seems unrelated
modest smelt
yeah
quartz kindle
are you trying to mute someone in all servers? lmao
modest smelt
here i'll just quote the code here
slender thistle
oh right
modest smelt
@client.command()
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
text_channel_list = []
for server in Client.servers:
for channel in server.channels:
if channel.type == 'Text':

await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=perms, reason=reason)
await ctx.send(f"{member} has been muted by {ctx.message.author} because "+ reason )
@modest smelt just so people can see
placid iron
@pale vessel I know, that is why I'm confused
slender thistle
thanks for noticing that Tim lmao
formal dome
How many days does a site approval take?
modest smelt
im trying to mute people in the servers the bot is in
slender thistle
why
slender thistle
yeah
faint prism
doorthief moment
@pale vessel What do you mean by "doorthief" moment?
quartz kindle
so basically, if someone gets muted, you want them to be muted in all servers the bot is in?
formal dome
I sent a request for the site
quartz kindle
but like
slender thistle
in any case, it's client.guilds, not Client.servers
pale vessel
@pale vessel What do you mean by "doorthief" moment?
@faint prism nothing, your github username was also doorthief
delicate zephyr
yea, but look. Just because someone is muted in one server for a reason doesnt mean they should be muted everywehere
quartz kindle
if someone is muted in a server, why should they get muted in other servers that have nothing to do with it?
modest smelt
oh ok
@client.command()
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
text_channel_list = []
for server in client.guilds:
for channel in server.channels:
if channel.type == 'Text':
perms = channel.overwrites_for(member)
perms.send_messages = False
perms.add_reactions= False
await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=perms, reason=reason)
await ctx.send(f"{member} has been muted by {ctx.message.author} because "+ reason )
@slender thistle is this correct?
slender thistle
@faint prism could've just used PyQt smh /s/s/s
placid iron
Try it and see
slender thistle
channel.type isn't a string iirc
modest smelt
if someone is muted in a server, why should they get muted in other servers that have nothing to do with it?
@quartz kindle ok i think it is better to mute them in only like my server
modest smelt
so i should do ```python
type(channel.type) == "text":
@faint prism nothing, your github username was also doorthief
@pale vessel Ooooooh you mean the old python version
Nice find. That's waaaaayyyy old
placid iron
If isinstance(channel, discord.TextChannel):
slender thistle
one sec I'm going through the docs
modest smelt
@client.command()
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
text_channel_list = []
for server in client.guilds:
for channel in server.channels:
if isinstance(channel, discord.TextChannel):
perms = channel.overwrites_for(member)
perms.send_messages = False
perms.add_reactions= False
await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=perms, reason=reason)
await ctx.send(f"{member} has been muted by {ctx.message.author} because "+ reason )
just the code
slender thistle
yeah Rovi's way is correct
delicate zephyr
also you should check your bot has permission to do any of that before trying to change the users permissions
faint prism
Python and bash comparison lmao
pale vessel
where's the new one?
modest smelt
the bot will be admin @delicate zephyr
slender thistle
not in all servers
delicate zephyr
not in all servers
slender thistle
Users can still remove the bot's permissions
modest smelt
i ask them for that perm
delicate zephyr
and they can remove it
modest smelt
so how should i mandate that?
delicate zephyr
I mean, you could always just not make it mute them in every server
slender thistle
faint prism
where's the new one?
@pale vessel wdym? The C# one?
slender thistle
Yup. There's the option of not being an asshole, as harsh as it sounds. Just mute the user in the server where the command was used instead.
pale vessel
@faint prism mhm
quartz kindle
admin perms for a bot introduces a vulnerability in people's servers
so many will reject your bot because of that
modest smelt
Since I gtg, my partner @earnest phoenix will be here
earnest phoenix
Hi I am working with @modest smelt
faint prism
lol?
slender thistle
And requiring admin permission for your bot is the complete opposite of "mass appeal"
placid iron
@quartz kindle then there are people who give all bots admin perms 
earnest phoenix
permissions_for(member)¶
permissions_for is a method of a TextChannel object
placid iron
Are you using decorators?
slender thistle
and member must be replaced with anything that happens to be a Member object.
In order to get your bot's Member version in guild, you'd use guild.me
No, rovi, decos are unrelated to this

elder loom
i want to make a dashboard for my bot
slender thistle
How can we help?
slender thistle
There's the option of connecting the backend to your bot's program
delicate zephyr
Have a look into some of the following:
EJS
React
and i would recommend looking into how to build an API
opal plank
You likely wanna get a domain and some html knownledge going
delicate zephyr
so the website and the bot can communicate
elder loom
i got a domain
opal plank
then do waht luke said
opal plank
you'll need a bit of basics of frontend development
restive furnace
free one is ok for testing purposes
delicate zephyr
No problem
elder loom
i will buy a domain when i get it working
but for now im just using that 000webhosting stuff
placid iron
So yeah you want some js on the website and a backend. The frontend will send a request to update data (to the backend) on a button click or something and then the backend will actually edit the database
elder loom
alright
sounds logic to me
i hope it will work because my bot is fully coded in python
restive furnace
yep it will with flask or smth
placid iron
My bot is in python and I have a working dashboard so it should be fine
opal plank
shouldnt matter too much which lang you using
elder loom
aha
opal plank
most of the stuff will be html and the payloads likely in json format
placid iron
Yeah make sure to abuse JSON
elder loom
lol
restive furnace
bInaRY
faint prism
May want to consider making an API for communicating data between your bot service and the website frontend
placid iron
Because with JSON you can send data and then have the client do work with making it into things and that reduces the load on your server
slender thistle
yep it will with flask or smth
@restive furnace I don't like to suggest Flask for Discord bots dashboards
since it's sync
placid iron
I use aiohttp for my dashboard
elder loom
alright i gtg now i have a bbq with my family but thanks for your help
placid iron
Is that fine?
slender thistle
There's Sanic and aiohttp
placid iron
@elder loom ok have fun
elder loom
thanks
slender thistle
aiohttp is fine tbh
restive furnace
@restive furnace I don't like to suggest Flask for Discord bots dashboards
i used it tho, thats why i recommended it, but yeah idk whats best one
slender thistle
Never seen it fuck itself or a bot up. I use aiohttp.web in dblpy and it works
placid iron
My code for my bot and my webserver are seperate, should I combine them?
slender thistle
There's no best one per se, you just want it to be asynchronous
placid iron
So I have 2 clients open at the moment basically
slender thistle
You could combine them, sure. Make sure you keep everything secure though
placid iron
Ok I'll look into it. In fact it would save me pain by combining them I think
In terms of files and what not
slender thistle
There's nothing wrong with running them separately if you don't need the website to communicate with your bot though
fluid basin
combining: shared variable access + easier to maintain code/files
not combining: need to maintain api and start seperately
slender thistle
Another option is to host a local API on the backend and send requests to it from the website backend
valid holly
Trying to make a bot that switches roles for users depending on which voice channel they join.
Theoretically the member will join voice channel x and will be given x role, although I have no idea how to start to make it. Any props ?
thick gull
then you’ll have to prevent anyone from sending requests if it’s not you
i think idk im not a good dev kek
fluid basin
@valid holly listen to voice state event to know when user joins voice channel, get the name of the current voice channel the user is in and assign the role for the user. If you need to remove the role after leaving the channel, check the event to see if its a leave and remove any roles thats related to voice channel names.
valid holly
Problem is not the lib itself, I'm comfortable with it, It's just finding a flexible way to manage this feature I'm implementing.
I was thinking to build a data structure consisting of channel ID's and role ID's then switching between.
X member joins Y channel, but already has x role, so switch from x to y
delicate zephyr
@valid holly what db do you use?
valid holly
I don't think there is a need for db in this case, we're dealing with predefined data
delicate zephyr
Ah ok
valid holly
Which I can easily define in code
delicate zephyr
then if you define it like
{
"voiceId": "roleId"
}
you should be able to then fetch/get the role and give to to the user that way
valid holly
Yeah but it's more difficult.
The bot needs to check if you already have a role, then remove the old one and replace with the new one.
delicate zephyr
not really
valid holly
Well that's what intending to do
valid holly
Not just simply add and remove roles based on the join event
fluid basin
The bot needs to check if you already have a role, then remove the old one and replace with the new one.
I don't see any issues with that
delicate zephyr
you can then do Object.values(obj) to get all the roles you have available. and then check if they have any of them and if they have any other than the role assigned to the voice channel you can remove them
valid holly
It's a feature I'm working in my server, which lets you switch between Discord "Servers" on a voice channel, and the roles just have access to different channel where you see different stuff
Such as "Social" role and "Gaming" role.
delicate zephyr
Yea
When someone switches a voice channel
Object.values(obj) will give you an array of ids
iterate through them and make sure the only voiceChannel Role they have is the one associated with said channel
if its not associated, remove it
I'll make some psuedo code
if you're willing to wait
what lang are you using?
delicate zephyr
Yea, Javascript
earnest phoenix
Can anyone help me code a mute command in discord.py?
delicate zephyr
ok gimme a minute and I'll have some psuedo code with comments
slender thistle

my friend made the html ejs and used it on glitch, but now i want to use it on a normal vps , i have cpanel
cinder patio
Maybe you should actually learn how to use them instead of jumping right in
delicate zephyr
@valid holly
// Example function fetching user
const user = fetchUser()
// Voice channel / role association
const voiceChannels = {
"1": "100",
"2": "200",
"3": "300"
}
// Event handler (i didnt check the docs for the actual thing)
client.on('voiceChannelUpdate', (user) => {
// Get the users voice channel
const vChanID = user.voiceChannel.id
// Check the voice channel id is defined
if(vChanID) {
// Get the role associated with the channel
const role = voiceChannels[vChanID]
// Get all role ids as an array
const roleIds = Object.values(voiceChannels)
// Add role associated with channe;
user.roles.add(role)
// If user has role that isn't accosiated with the channel, removed it
user.roles.cache.forEach(r => if(r.id !== role) user.roles.remove(r))
}
})
i want to let it work then i will learn (:
slender thistle
It's voiceStateUpdate iirc
cinder patio
So you want to make a bot dashboard with tools you haven't learnt to use yet, and you want to learn them AFTER you make the dashboard? ok
placid iron
V-chan 
slender thistle
I need to enter my useless 5 cents okay
scenic grotto
@cinder patio because my bot is right now in 60+ servers and i want to make the dashboard asap
earnest phoenix
how long does the verification take , i have waited over 4 weeks?
thick gull
shiv, you forgot the period at the end.
scenic grotto
then i will learn good in it
fluid basin
@earnest phoenix just wait
slender thistle
Around a month @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
okay
quartz kindle
there are many big bots without dashboards, no need to rush
scenic grotto
also when im trying to do it i will learn
slender thistle
It's generally a better idea to take a step back and take it slow
to get used to the tools you want to use further
scenic grotto
my bot is dying rn so i need to do it asap, from the beginning we said there will be an dashboard in a few days
fluid basin
learning and trying is mutual, you cannot do one without the other
scenic grotto
from where could i learn how to make it ?
fluid basin
google is your best friend
scenic grotto
i am trying but i didn't yet know how
quartz kindle
a dashboard requires knowing many different areas, its not a single thing
valid holly
@delicate zephyr that's the idea I had intended initially, so I'll go with that, thanks for the support !
earnest phoenix
boolean = false;
setInterval(async() => {
if (boolean !== true){
client.shard.fetchClientValues('guilds.cache.size')
.then(r => dbl.postStats(r.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0)));
boolean = true;
setTimeout(() => boolean = false, 60 * 1000);
};
}, 1800 * 1000);
This is being ran for all the shards of the bot so it will be ran x times, how can i make sure it only runs once
scenic grotto
tabs im trying to do it
delicate zephyr
@valid holly No problem!
quartz kindle
so you have a webhost with cpanel? is your website made with php?
fluid basin
ok thats a whole lot of new problems
faint prism
using boolean as a variable name
Might as well call it "x"
scenic grotto
why?
quartz kindle
why windows vps lol
scenic grotto
because it's the easiest
earnest phoenix
using boolean as a variable name
Might as well call it "x"
@faint prism that isn't the point.
scenic grotto
also i host another game server not just the bot on it
thick gull
scenic grotto
yes i have the domain
thick gull
Get free <nitro image>
quartz kindle
what is your website gonna be built with?
scenic grotto
im trying to get his discord
quartz kindle
php?
quartz kindle
ok, so then you need a webserver, like express
slender thistle
@earnest phoenix Is it possible that scopes may happen to be the issue?
quartz kindle
are you using express?
quartz kindle
a webserver is a program that accepts connections to the host and responds with html files
for example
scenic grotto
I have the website files in the linux vps
thin tapir
in Dsharpplus how does one set the activity of the bot
scenic grotto
from where do i get express.js
quartz kindle
you install it from npm
thin tapir
yes
quartz kindle
do you have a package.json?
scenic grotto
yes
scenic grotto
yes my friend
earnest phoenix
I'm trying to host my bo 24/7 with Heroku! But when I restart my Dynos, this is shown! Could someone help me?
scenic grotto
@quartz kindle it's doing the modules now
pale vessel
check your package.json
scenic grotto
earnest phoenix
@pale vessel me?
scenic grotto
@quartz kindle I did them
pale vessel
yes
scenic grotto
scenic grotto
@pale vessel me?
pale vessel
yes yes yes
scenic grotto
me from glitch to a linux vps
scenic grotto
no i don't use heroku
misty sigil
Cool
placid iron
I use heroku 
pale vessel
not you
fluid basin
flaze, hes trying to switch from glitch to centos vps + cpanel and a windows vps to host his bot, and trying to run ejs from cpanel
fluid basin
no
misty sigil
ima bring this up again
any """""""""""free""""""""""" hosting is either:
- not intended to be used as hosting for bots
- not actually suitable for hosting for bots
- not actually free
slender thistle
aeaeae
pale vessel
$3? promise? 😳
slender thistle
not the place to ask
nova swift
@pale vessel yep but nice story sword fight related family frndly

Man, I'm still getting A MessageReceived handler is blocking the gateway task
But if I am understanding Tasks correctly, this should spin off it's own task and finish the handler?
Since I'm not awaiting it it shouldn't wait for the result...
faint prism
Ye
fluid basin
hm not the most experienced in C# but let me take a look
faint prism
This lead me to think I wouldn't block my handler if I did that without awaiting. Which is what I want
placid iron
Idk how you do it but I have ```cs
Idk something {
If (message.contents == "!ping") {
await ping(message);
}}
Private Task ping (message){
await message.chabnel.sendAsync("ping is ping");
}```
I'm on mobile so that is not correct for code
But it is what I did for my small c# prohect
faint prism
Well, if I await the result, which is resource heavy, it'll definitely block the handler
placid iron
Hmm
What I did for my python bot was create a new thread for the heavy task then I gave it the loop so it could still use the loop for sending stuff to discord but it was out of the loop
If you understand
fluid basin
are you using any Thread.sleeps inside your task @faint prism
faint prism
no
fluid basin
hm
get mentions first? could you explain?
@faint prism I think theres something to do with await, Task.Run should be awaited if not it'll run sync?
faint prism
the opposite I believe. It should finish the function without waiting for the Task to finish
fluid basin
yeah thats what I thought too
I think you might be using the gateway/ws threadpool
which might have ran out of threads and blocked
@faint prism wait could you show the remainder/entirety of your code
faint prism
Well I'm trying out a solution rn, so it isn't production code atm
fluid basin
ah ok
https://discord.foxbot.me/docs/faq/commands/general.html?tabs=cmdattrib maybe this could help?
faint prism
the _ = throwaway should make the method run without awaiting the result and finish the function
oh interesting link
ionic dawn
does mongodb works same way windows and ubuntu/deb ?
fluid basin
yup
earnest phoenix
I'm trying to host my bo 24/7 with Heroku! But when I restart my Dynos, this is shown! Could someone help me?
Tell me if needed to see my code
ionic dawn
install module?
earnest phoenix
How?!
misty sigil
^
ionic dawn
:D?
misty sigil
by putting it in package.json
earnest phoenix
What put in package.json?
ionic dawn
npm i discord.js
misty sigil
why use heroku btw?
thick gull
JOKE ^^ don't take it seriously
yeah heroku isn't inheritly for bots
and AFAIK it goes offline
thick gull
my dad has random 50$ gift cards he doesn't mind losing but not many services for hosting accept gift cards
thick gull
no
ionic dawn
fluid basin
tfw google takes 30% of whatever you earn on google play
thick gull
yeah
ionic dawn
thick gull
So does apple
ionic dawn
MongoDB is so friendly to understand if you come from js lol
earnest phoenix
I may buy VPS but how can I add it to my bot? I must write something in command prompt or in visual studio code?
cinder patio
A VPS is a virtual computer
ionic dawn
but in a fresh vps you have to install node
and packages you can move them using FTP clients like WinSCP or Filezilla
thick gull
MongoDB is so friendly to understand if you come from js lol
crying irl
I figured it out in like half an hour
but I delayed it for a whole month
slender thistle
Python gang, got a hang of mongo fairly easily 
thick gull
cause it didn't make sense
ionic dawn
I didn't know mongo was a non-sql db, never even read about it
JSON seems pretty much easier to work with than sql
thick gull
yeah
misty sigil
yea
thick gull
quickdb is all in one file
misty sigil
more scalable
ionic dawn
jesus
opal plank
try postgres now for a good DB shiv
thick gull
sqlite file
opal plank
you'll love shit like PgAdmin 4
slender thistle
I hate writing SQL queries
opal plank
do try Postgres, trust me
ionic dawn
slender thistle
Someday when I start caring about SQL
misty sigil
sql seems cool
slender thistle
mongo is efficient for my use case
opal plank
lmao db's are essential to have nowadays
misty sigil
but I prefer mongo
because it works and I have it working
and I don’t need to change it if it works
ionic dawn
we just skiped that guy question up there
slender thistle
I also play with my data structures a fuckton so SQL is a bit of a pain in the ass for me
opal plank
my bot blew up out of proprotion and today i gotta learn scalability for large scale bots, so im kinda fucked
gotta start using redis for high performance checks
thick gull
@fleet hornet why do you need to put it in one line
slender thistle
Redis for caching?
thick gull
you should use two different const otherwise it won't make sense
slender thistle
What's the pro of using Redis for caching over direct memory access?
ionic dawn
yeah, just do:
const bla bla
const bla bla
opal plank
im starting to get 1900 spikes per MINUTE on messages
misty sigil
bruh
opal plank
its insanely faster than a db call
thick gull
shiv use your brain and explain to him
fluid basin
What's the pro of using Redis for caching over direct memory access?
@slender thistle uh shared access when sharding?
opal plank
its basically a map from what i've heard
magic jackal
ayo why does this not work?
client.users.fetch("467102802838159370").id
slender thistle
anything else?
fluid basin
mainly shared access
opal plank
though i'll be giving it a try today
fluid basin
and you don't lose any info if your bot crashes
cinder patio
Shared access between processes
slender thistle
eh so nothing I need to worry about 
thick gull
you already have the id and you trying to fetch the id (?)
opal plank
unless you going for big scale
fluid basin
webscale™️
magic jackal
the issue is that i cannot access the object it returns
earnest phoenix
Hi, I have a question, Is there like a way to reserve a testing channel, like run a command to rent it, or u just enter the channel and just test without permission?
fluid basin
@earnest phoenix if you're talking about this server, then no
opal plank
it that number goes beyond 3k im kinda fucked
earnest phoenix
ok
thick gull
what is your bot for
earnest phoenix
So Do I just enter the testing server, and just... test?
fluid basin
wait till your bot is approved, you will be able to use it in #commands and #265156322012561408
thick gull
twitch stats?
earnest phoenix
Moderation
slender thistle
what do you mean, Cheslin?
opal plank
Nah, my bot integrates and bridges discord and twitch
magic jackal
thick gull
so the chat mixes?
opal plank
not only that
worthy glacier
so how do you scale it up
opal plank
quite a lot more
misty sigil
Await the fetch
fluid basin
Nah, my bot integrates and bridges discord and twitch
@opal plank so is it a twitch discord bot or a discord twitch bot
magic jackal
oh
thick gull
mmm sounds interesting tbh
opal plank
neither
earnest phoenix
I am making a bot named S... OH, i have to have it approved before I test it, o i tho other way around
opal plank
its a Twitch, Discord AND youtube bot
slender thistle
You can test it in your own server
opal plank
its a collection of 5 bots working together
fluid basin
damn
earnest phoenix
Ok @slender thistle
earnest phoenix
ye ik
opal plank
interprocess bots ftw
thick gull
so @slender thistle if I completely redo my bot after its approved its okay right
opal plank
earnest phoenix
ok cya until its working 😄
slender thistle
aye we don't care as long as it follows our guidelines
thick gull
pog
opal plank
@fluid basin though in fairness the youtube bot needs a massive rework
fluid basin
oof
opal plank
not sure if its worth mentioning it as a pillar of that collection
there isnt a lib like d.js for it
so i have to manually send requests
its quite a bit complicated work
fluid basin
big brain
opal plank
tis technically what i did
fluid basin
damn time to test how well will mongodb scale
opal plank
though im not proficient enough to make a super optimzed lib
fluid basin
remember those days discord was running off mongodb
misty sigil
It scales well
opal plank
but technically a lib
fluid basin
bet their servers went brrrr
opal plank
they use postgres now, no?
thick gull
when was that
fluid basin
cassandra
quiet topaz
jo, I need help: why does my bot create over 80 Voicechannels
fluid basin
opal plank
OOf
fluid basin
old stuff
quiet topaz
Client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {
if(typeof newMember.channelID === "undefined"){
return
};
let nchannel = newMember.channelID;
if(!nchannel=== voicechannelid){
return
};
if(newMember.id=== "744974832147628032") return;
if(!newMember.channel)return;
Client.guilds.cache.find(g => g.id === guild).channels.create(newMember.member.displayName,
{
"parent":745676919294394369,
"type":"voice",
"permissionOverwrites":[{
id:newMember.id,
allow:["MANAGE_CHANNELS"]
}]
})
.then(console.log);
newMember.setChannel(Client.channels.cache.find(c => c.id === "717376546947596338"))
})
nice rate limit
faint prism
If I have a method Task MyTask
is calling it by MyTask() the same as Task.Run(() => MyTask()) ?
opal plank
^^
fluid basin
soz I'm not really experienced in c#
dire obsidian
if (msg.author.id == msg.author.id) {
const id = msg.author.id
}
fluid basin
Everything on Discord was stored in a single MongoDB replica set
damn discord
misty sigil
damn
fluid basin
wtf
opal plank
what
quiet topaz
btw does voice state update triger by creating an voice channel
fluid basin
idts @quiet topaz
thick gull
that was before discords surge in popularity
fluid basin
nono 2015 was the birth of discord
quiet topaz
idts @quiet topaz
@fluid basin and how to prevent it?
fluid basin
they migrated in late 2015
fluid basin
wait
ionic dawn
I would like to be earlier here so I can have the
fluid basin
thats only 6 months damn
ionic dawn
wumpus looks cool with the helmet
fluid basin
@quiet topaz uh I said "I don't think so (idts)"
thick gull
I'm fairly certain I had nitro in the period for it but I didn't get the badge so idk
quiet topaz
@quiet topaz uh I said "I don't think so (idts)"
@fluid basin bruh
but why does it happen
opal plank
yes
fluid basin
it only triggers when you join a channel or leave
or mute or deafen WHILE inside a channel
fluid basin
wait I haven't finished speaking
opal plank
deafen, mute,servermute,stream,live,leaving,joining, moving channels
fluid basin
yeah ok
opal plank
those are all the actions that trigger that event
thick gull
why are you even creating a channel on VC update though
opal plank
you need to check em'
opal plank
bout to get ratelimited if you dont do that command carefully
quiet topaz
ok
opal plank
i dont have nearly as much of a need for cassandra
fluid basin
so you gotta make multiple queries for data across tables
opal plank
pg been handling fine quite a big stress
fluid basin
the thing is, my data is structured for now but for webscale™️ I can't afford to have a fixed schema
pushing updates will be really hard (without downtime)
quiet topaz
how to find out, what trigered that?
fluid basin
compare oldstate and newstate
quiet topaz
ok
fluid basin
since you only need joins, check the channel of the state
worthy glacier
is there any way to get a bot to screenshare something in a vc
quartz kindle
nope
worthy glacier
rip
fluid basin
nope
even if you wanted to, discord's modded rpc isn't documented
so have fun implementing it
<:emoji_name:emoji_id>
you can get it by going to the server with the emoji (that the bot is in as well), then add a \ before sending the emoji
worthy glacier
how would one go about implementing it lol
fluid basin
oh boy, reversing discord's custom RPC protocol isn't fun
worthy glacier
faint prism
@fluid basin Turns out the behavior I wanted was:
_ = Task.Run(() => LongRunningTask());
Which runs on it's own thread and the calling function continues regardless
For instance
faint prism
C#
earnest phoenix
nvm then
ionic dawn
faint prism
And if I await or leave out Task.Run it is blocking
ionic dawn
well also de emoji name but... yea ^
worthy glacier
its like, making a png image using hex
@fluid basin
restive furnace
stop it, you simply cant use custom emojis in titles and field titles
ionic dawn
He's dying inside
fluid basin
ah nice
ionic dawn
Yeah emojis are used in Descriptions
Description with markdowns to make titles or whatever
fluid basin
@worthy glacier don't actually bother trying, seriously, its not worth the time
worthy glacier
yes ik llol
earnest phoenix
look docs
let emoji = message.guild.emojis.cache.find(emoji => emoji.name === "cd_disk")
@earnest phoenix ^^^
ionic dawn
I know it
earnest phoenix
oh no

safe kelp
Can anyone help me in eval command of discord.py
safe kelp
Ohk
safe kelp
Np
faint prism
make sure you get permissions correct with who can run the eval command.
earnest phoenix
const toEval = "Something";
const result = eval(toEval);
That's a pretty verbose command
safe kelp
Np
faint prism
I implemented an eval in C# 😉
safe kelp
I will find
ionic dawn
Hola
safe kelp
Oka
faint prism
Behold, the power of CSharpScript and Roslyn API. I give you, eval in C#
quiet topaz
so, why does my bot trigger on voiceStateUpdate that move it to a channel and then trigers again (the trigering event is that moving, but you cant move multple times intp the same channel?
faint prism
It is kinda weird though, you have to pass in globals, and I haven't figured out the namespace inclusion yet
restive furnace
CSharpScript 🤔
faint prism
It's the class that implements an interpreted form of C# using Roslyn API
So you can essentially run C# via a command
