[opal plank]

what does beutify have to do with this?

[fringe axle]

WRONG CHANNEL

[solemn leaf]

wdym

[fringe axle]

I‘m too dumb, sorry.

[solemn leaf]

can you help me with wat I asked?

[opal plank]

bcs Im using beautify

[faint prism]

@solemn leaf just after ", do a \n

[solemn leaf]

imma go ask somewhere else then 🤦

[lament meteor]

Bruh

[solemn leaf]

what

[faint prism]

Kinda wonder if that would actually work
https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/748985255595344014

It'd miss tabs of course

[solemn leaf]

a!eval let n = message.author.presence.activities.find((a) => a.name === 'Custom Status')
JSON.stringify(n.testin)

Im trying to get the status

could you help

[lament meteor]

Hmm

[solemn leaf]

let n = message.author.presence.activities.find((a) => a.name === 'Custom Status')
JSON.stringify(n.state)

[lament meteor]

What does it return?

On mobile rn so cant do much but if u giv me enough info i can help

[solemn leaf]

got it

[lament meteor]

What

[hazy girder]

let a = "900"
var intervalId = null;
var varCounter = 0;
var varName = function(){
     if(varCounter <= a.charAt(1)) {
          varCounter++;
        message.channel.bulkDelete(100)
         
     } else {
          clearInterval(intervalId).then(() => {
        message.channel.bulkDelete(a - a.charAt(1) + "00")
   });
          }
};
  intervalId = setInterval(function() {
    message.channel.bulkDelete(100)                      
   }, 1000)

uh oh im trying purge more than 100 messages with interval

but thst interval does not stop

[opal plank]

wait wtf

@solemn leaf why the heck you stringifying a string?

setINterval is not meant to stop

if you want a loop that stops you using the wrong thing

[hazy girder]

i wants it will purge 100 messages then again then again to wants messages size to purge

[opal plank]

thats api spam btw

[hazy girder]

oh uh it will be slowly

[opal plank]

still api spam

you're only suppose to delete 100 messages

[hazy girder]

i have seen this a lot of bots (verified bots)

[opal plank]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hazy girder]

like carl, dyno

[opal plank]

even they say in the verification that some bots recieve different stuff

```Remember, not all use cases are the same. You may see some bots that have been verified that toe the line; verification is a manual review process, and therefore a human has laid on eyes on every bot that passes through. Therefore, we have deemed that individual use case alright.````
source: https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043053492-Statistics-Bot-Verification-Policy

discord does make exceptions more often than you'd think @hazy girder

[solemn leaf]

how canI get what client a user is on

[karmic compass]

if the bot is missing permissions, it still says "Error!", how do i make it say "Missing Permissions" if it is missing permissions?

[slender thistle]

BotMissingPermissions

Or, hell, discord.Forbidden

Depending on what you need

[thick gull]

how canI get what client a user is on
@solemn leaf presence

I know with presence update event you get like desktop: onlinr

etc

[robust belfry]

In top.gg what is the detailed description field for?
Do i have to know html and javascript to use it?

[solemn leaf]

JSON.stringify(message.author.presence.clientStatus)

yeah

I found out

[thick gull]

👍

[solemn leaf]

if (ment.presence.clientStatus === "mobile") {
        image2 = "https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/734835368427389099.png?v=1"
    }
    if (ment.presence.clientStatus === "web") {
        image2 = "https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/734835368423063664.png?v=1"
    }
    if (ment.presence.clientStatus == "desktop") {
        image2 = "https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/734835368204959857.png?v=1"
    }

so I can just do this

@thick gull

[thick gull]

no because it's like

{ "mobile": "idle"}

etc

you can also have multiple in one

[solemn leaf]

ik

so

how do I do

clientStatus[0]

[faint prism]

if clientStatus is an array you can access the [n] index
[0] is the first index
[1] is the second index
and so on

But I suspect it isn't an array

@solemn leaf

[solemn leaf]

yeah

How do I get the { "mobile": "idle")

@faint prism

[opal plank]

you do know how to access an object property, no?

thats basic js

[solemn leaf]

no

oh

I see

[faint prism]

It's looks like a prop like Not Erwin#8753 said

[drifting wedge]

how do i make it like what i send

so like if i do ?check hi

how do i make hi a var

[earnest phoenix]

store the argument in a variable

but it's already stored

[solemn leaf]

thank

[drifting wedge]

like how do i get what i sent?

[earnest phoenix]

it's in your arguments

Anybody know how to fix this? Kinda got confused

[faint prism]

Anybody know how to fix this? Kinda got confused
Node: I sure hope you know what you are doing
@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

that always fixes it :haha:

@faint prism <Using force does that> without it still same

[karmic compass]

BotMissingPermissions
@slender thistle that nor discord.Forbidden din work

[faint prism]

I have no doubt it's because you did --force.
I just find it funny in the context

[worthy glacier]

is there any way to set the status of a bot as mobile

[earnest phoenix]

you need to modify your lib

Yea i know, it said use --force to overwrite it recklessly so idk @faint prism

[misty sigil]

is there any way to set the status of a bot as mobile
@worthy glacier its against the api tos iirc

[earnest phoenix]

it isn't

[worthy glacier]

o

[misty sigil]

oh right

i swear i seen something saying that

[earnest phoenix]

discord probably doesn't like it but it isn't against the tos

It's against guidelines, modifying the gateway identifier

uh

no

oh guidelines

if you set the device in the IDENTIFY gateway payload to mobile the whole connection gets treated as a mobile connection, you get the mobile indicator

So cry got any ideas about my error, I'm confused

have you tried deleting the node_modules folder yet?

[misty sigil]

i mean

it works

[earnest phoenix]

Wait should i really

Well it's gonna be recreated through the build of npm

[misty sigil]

if you wanna re-install everything i suppose

[earnest phoenix]

I mean if that's the only way to fix the error i suppose?

running npm install redownloads the modules anyways

Yea, lemme try

[faint prism]

Gotta love how dangerous a typo in bash can be
||sudo rm -rf / node_modules/ #Dont copy and paste this||

[earnest phoenix]

Yea deleting the folder and rebuilding the packages worked

Thanks

[digital wagon]

Gotta love how dangerous a typo in bash can be

Hackerman ? oof

[drifting wedge]

how do i like check it this is this

like how do i check it the command has the code?

async def verify(ctx, arg):
    if arg == 9999:
        add_roles('699779377113727136')

        await ctx.send(f'Welcome to the losers club / Verified!')
    else:```

[earnest phoenix]

how can i show the servers and users?

here?

[faint prism]

Wouldn't that be calls from dbl's #topgg-api ?

[misty sigil]

Yes by using the top.gg api

yes it would be auger

[drifting wedge]

like how do i check a message against another message

and if its true, do this

like a veriffy thing, that they need to put a code

[wheat jolt]

I'm using ytdl-core to stream an youtube video's audio on a voiceconnection, but does anyone know how I can seek the audio without making a new stream?

[slender thistle]

client.wait_for

[drifting wedge]

client.wait_for
@slender thistle wait for what lol

[slender thistle]

"message"

I suggest you refer to the d.py docs for this one

[faint prism]

I'm using ytdl-core to stream an youtube video's audio on a voiceconnection, but does anyone know how I can seek the audio without making a new stream?
@wheat jolt There should be a "current position" property or something somewhere

[drifting wedge]

then how can i send like correc

or wrong

[wheat jolt]

@wheat jolt There should be a "current position" property or something somewhere
@faint prism yes, there's a seek option for voiceConnection.play but this means a new stream

[karmic compass]

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def editnick(ctx, member: discord.Member, nick):
    try:
        await member.edit(nick=nick)
        await ctx.send(f'Nickname was changed for {member.mention} ')
    except discord.Forbidden:
        await ctx.send("I am missing permissions!")
``` how do i check if member or nick is missing?

[sudden geyser]

At the moment I think member and nick are both required arguments.

You'd need to use typing Optional[...] if you wanted to make it optional according to the documentation (I think).

[slender thistle]

= None works too

You can set default value None to both and then check if both/either are/is missing

[uneven jetty]

.verify

[solemn leaf]

how can I check If a pinged user is a bot

[uneven jetty]

!verify

[faint prism]

!verify
@uneven jetty #commands

how can I check If a pinged user is a bot
@solemn leaf isBot might be a Boolean property of a user

[karmic compass]

You can set default value None to both and then check if both/either are/is missing
PING PONG yeah that worked for me

[covert condor]

[fringe lion]

how to use emoji from other servers? discord.py library

[earnest phoenix]

i don't know, most people here

escape it in the server, and copy paste it in your string

i.e
-> \:dblAdmin: -> !dblAdmin

[fringe lion]

thanks, I'll try now

[forest whale]

can someone explain me how i can use Threads in java or what is a good start to learn asynchronous Programming. My main problem is that i have create a discord bot and never realized that one task that have to work a little bit longer blocked all my listeners and i have know i dear how i can rund my methods without blocking any other codes

[earnest phoenix]

Is there a reason and/or fix to why my bot takes so damn long to login?

[ionic dawn]

why am I using JSON.parse(stuff) on the YTAPI result and isnt working?

should format the obj to a JSON?

[lilac pollen]

How can I add the index.js file to my bot?

[earnest phoenix]

?

[lilac pollen]

The file with all the bot’s code

[earnest phoenix]

yeah u want to run it?

[lilac pollen]

I want to post it to the top.gg page

Cause I can’t have it running forever on my laptop

[earnest phoenix]

u can add ur bot , not ur code

[lilac pollen]

How can I add my code

[earnest phoenix]

thats why u buy a server

[lilac pollen]

bruh

[earnest phoenix]

or use heroku

[lilac pollen]

Thanks

[dusk vault]

Is there any clean way to listen for new channels specifically? The channel create event triggers whenever a channel is added to the cache, including when the bot starts

(Djs)

[pale vessel]

The channel create event triggers whenever a channel is added to the cache, including when the bot starts
@dusk vault doesn't happen to me

[dusk vault]

is it a library bug?

[drifting wedge]

i have the ffmpeg thing working on my computer

how can i export to heroku?

[dusk vault]

Define "not working"

no error?

[halcyon ember]

I have this

[pale vessel]

it only triggers when a channel is created, at least for me

[halcyon ember]

async function crash(collected) {
        var currentmulti = 1
        const crashmsg = await message.channel.send(":loading: "+currentmulti+"x")
        var m
        var crashed = false
        for (m = 0; crashed===false; m++) {
          var sleepsecond = 1000-currentmulti*85
          var slpsec = sleepsecond.toFixed(0)
          await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, slpsec))
          currentmulti += 0.1
          if(currentmulti >= multi) {
            var toadd = multi*amount
            await crashmsg.edit(":check: Cashed out at "+currentmulti.toFixed(1)+"x! You won "+toadd.toFixed(2)+" "+coind.emote)
            await connection.query("UPDATE balances SET "+coind.ticker+"="+coind.ticker+"+? WHERE id=?", [toadd.toFixed(2), message.author.id])
            crashed = true
          } else if(Math.random() < 0.04) {
            await crashmsg.edit(":boom: Crashed at "+currentmulti.toFixed(1)+"x! You lost "+amount+" "+coind.emote)
            crashed = true
          } else {
            await crashmsg.edit(":loading: "+currentmulti.toFixed(1)+"x")
          }
        }
      }

[dusk vault]

which lib @pale vessel

[pale vessel]

discord.js

[halcyon ember]

but every 5 loops it has a 2-3 sec pause

[dusk vault]

v12?

[pale vessel]

yes, of course

[dusk vault]

Hmph

Ill look into it further

Thanks

Anyone have the ratelimit reference link handy?

[solemn latch]

ratelimits change for each user/bot iirc.

so theres no real reference.

[dusk vault]

k

[slender thistle]

They're dynamic aka can either change anytime or can be increased

[dusk vault]

whats the default for channel name updates

[slender thistle]

2 requests per like 10 minutes iirc

[dusk vault]

what

how do member counter bots update all the time then

[slender thistle]

shrug

it's a per channel ratelimit

[lilac pollen]

How can I put the bot in top.gg after putting it in heroku?

[slender thistle]

so it's possible they recreate the channels

slice the name's length off the start and trim left?

[halcyon ember]

why does my for loop pause for a bit every 5 loops

[dusk vault]

is it using the api

you're probably getting ratelimited

it is a slang here in California

[drifting wedge]

i made an ffmpeg bot thing that works on my pc

[midnight blaze]

we are influenced by spanish people

[slender thistle]

well, more like putting up with them because of lowend laptop but yeah

[drifting wedge]

but it doesnt play any sounds on heroku

wut should i do?

[midnight blaze]

@drifting wedge make a dispatcher

[drifting wedge]

me is dumb

wuts a dispacher?

[midnight blaze]

you should know this, when using ffmpeg

[nimble kiln]

guildMember.guild.channels.cache.get('699053185058340876').send("<@" + guildMember.id + ">", {welcomeEmbed}).catch(console.error);

Can someone tell me how to properly send a tag and the embed in the same line? My syntax is off.
Currently it only tags the member. It doesn't send the embed.
@fleet hornet User pings start with <@! - And if I remember correctly then you dont need the {} brackets, so like:
[...] ">", welcomeEmbed).catch [...]

[drifting wedge]

well i probably shouldnt even be making bots

i am big lp

[midnight blaze]

@drifting wedge did you copy a music bot

let me guess..

[drifting wedge]

nxt make a 8ball command

[drifting wedge]

i did lol

[midnight blaze]

as if

[drifting wedge]

my bot is like really advanced lol

[slender thistle]

What are you trying to do honestly

Other than putting up random pieces of code together

[midnight blaze]

he copied a music bot and is confused by it to run it

[drifting wedge]

use heroku as a music bot hosting

[slender thistle]

Bad idea

Genuinely an idea worse than throwing grenades at a tornado

[drifting wedge]

hwyyyy

[slender thistle]

Because Heroku does support music natively

[midnight blaze]

how about you check the discord js guide about voice

[slender thistle]

doesn't

[midnight blaze]

get the basics first

[slender thistle]

they're using d.py

[midnight blaze]

oh

[drifting wedge]

i have a hosting thing

its like terrivle

[midnight blaze]

true, I forget that people are using py

[drifting wedge]

its even worse than heroku

but it supports music

would that work?

[slender thistle]

As long as it's an actual VPS

Should work

Frequently Asked Questions 📜

1. How do I add a bot?

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS

[slender thistle]

No fucking idea. Try it tbh

[midnight blaze]

@drifting wedge get vps and you will be making progress

[slender thistle]

But generally it's a lot simpler to just rent a VPS

[drifting wedge]

so heroku doesnt work

[ionic dawn]

Any idea why is this happening?

const YTSearch = search(query , opts, function(err, results) {
  console.log(results[0].link)
  results[0].link.toString()
});

server.queue.push(YTSearch);

Output:

(node:5240) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "url" argument must be of type string.```

[midnight blaze]

heroku is a bad idea, just forget about it and if you have 5 euros per months, go and get a normal vps

[drifting wedge]

yea ik

but like my bot is still in development

can i use heroku

i know its bad

and its def not a good choice

but can I?

[slender thistle]

You can. "Should you" is the more appropriate question

[drifting wedge]

ok

well the "you can" method

what would i do?

i promise

i will get a vps

[slender thistle]

Run audio on Heroku?

[midnight blaze]

yes, you can

but I think it is has problems, when your music bot is used by many servers

[drifting wedge]

add discord py voice to requirements?

@midnight blaze

[midnight blaze]

if you want to make a bot for your own server

[drifting wedge]

it would be used like once per time

like dont worry, capacity wont be a issue

[static trench]

Can someone help me with a d.py. Command to see how many users my bot has?

[drifting wedge]

@static trench

sure 1 sec

[static trench]

🙂

[drifting wedge]

lemme get my code

[midnight blaze]

@slender thistle can I link a tutorial for him?

[drifting wedge]

memberCount = len(client.users)

[midnight blaze]

or is it not allowed to post youtube videos here? I think I found something for beginners

[drifting wedge]

this is total members

[static trench]

K

[pale vessel]

users aren't members

[drifting wedge]

so this is an example

embed.add_field(name="Total Users:", value=memberCount)

users aren't members
@pale vessel for me works great

[slender thistle]

Something tells me Heroku doesn't support crap like ffmpeg, ytdl, etc.

[midnight blaze]

it does

[slender thistle]

Oh well have fun with that

[drifting wedge]

well for me the issue isnt capacity

its like is it POSSIBLE

[midnight blaze]

it is crap tho, it only will work for your own server

[slender thistle]

feel free to link tutorials per necessity

didnt work for me

[midnight blaze]

o_o

[drifting wedge]

maybe cuz of different code

[pale vessel]

did you restart/redeploy?

[drifting wedge]

i tihnk so

im trying again

[pale vessel]

can't help much here

[thick gull]

is it easy to swap from djs to djs-light?

[dusk vault]

[sinful belfry]

is it easy to swap from djs to djs-light?
@thick gull yeah it isn't too hard

it really depends what the purpose of your bot it

probably the biggest consideration you need to take is the caches that you need/don't need

[sand skiff]

i need help

[sinful belfry]

with?

[sand skiff]

so im trying to make embeds

with the bot

[sinful belfry]

lib?

[sand skiff]

like as a response

but idk how

[sinful belfry]

what lib are you using?

discord.js?

[sand skiff]

yes

[sinful belfry]

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/embeds.html#embed-preview you'll probably find this useful then

@undone solar what lib are you using?

[undone solar]

discord.js @sinful belfry

[sinful belfry]

ah so you can do <client>.guilds.cache.size

or if you're using dblapi.js then it will send your server count automatically

[undone solar]

thank you for your quick and accurate answers

[lilac pollen]

-faq 1 @lilac pollen
@slender thistle it didn’t say anything

[errant perch]

how do i get a value from a argument. for example a message has the number 5 and i wanna multiply it by 3 but it just returns NaN

discord.js

[faint prism]

yeah it did

@slender thistle it didn’t say anything
@lilac pollen https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/749032470346727547

[lilac pollen]

ik

The link didn’t answer my question

[faint prism]

How can I put the bot in top.gg after putting it in heroku?
@lilac pollen the #502193464054644737 describes how to submit your bot to tog.gg

[lilac pollen]

I know how to do that but I asked how to dos o once I’ve put it on heroku

*do so

[faint prism]

Your listing on top.gg doesn't affect your hosting?

[earnest phoenix]

how do i get a value from a argument. for example a message has the number 5 and i wanna multiply it by 3 but it just returns NaN
@errant perch Can i see how you do it? I maybe able to provide a fix

[opal plank]

likely parseInt incorrectly

or mutiplying string by number

which is why
clears throat, reads ad script
You should try typescript as it catches those hefty bugs before even compiling

[earnest phoenix]

String + Number would turn the number into a string and add it to the string, but if used like this

Math.floor(String + Number);``` it would return NaN

[faint prism]

right because `hello` + 5 = hello5

• also means to append

[opal plank]

i wonder

[errant perch]

wait

i think i got it

but it just wasnt saving

[faint prism]

but it just wasnt saving
@errant perch If I had a dime

[opal plank]

Just Js Things™️

[errant perch]

ye i got it

sorry

for wasting your time

[earnest phoenix]

@opal plank Are you making your entire eval an async function

[opal plank]

yes indeed

[earnest phoenix]

To be able to use await

[opal plank]

yup

havent pushed it on the main branch yet though

[earnest phoenix]

Well i don't do that, just awaiting if the result is a promise

[errant perch]

oh wait

now its

15+5 = 155

[opal plank]

string

[earnest phoenix]

But yea trying to put the whole thing inside a async function just to use await is annoying @opal plank

[opal plank]

parse them first

i mean, it works fine

[earnest phoenix]

I wish await didn't need async

That would have been epic

[opal plank]

@errant perch

parse them before doing operations

[errant perch]

magik

ok

[opal plank]

you're adding strings, not numbers

thats why that happens

[errant perch]

makes sense

thanks

[opal plank]

@earnest phoenix just make everything async

[earnest phoenix]

@errant perch Could try that too

[errant perch]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix just make everything async :kek:
@opal plank Yes but using return on everything is something that i hate

[opal plank]

//index.ts
async function () {
 client;
login();
more shit
whole index


He attacc
he protecc
but most importantly
the whole index whacc

}

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

That's what i do

[opal plank]

literally the whole index

[earnest phoenix]

But i do everything inside the message event so we wack

[opal plank]

not even, whole thing dude

like all of it

[earnest phoenix]

I know

[opal plank]

balls deep

[earnest phoenix]

C o c k

[opal plank]

if you goin g to screw up the code, at elast do a good job at it

be the best at whatever you do, be it good or bad

[earnest phoenix]

[opal plank]

await impacts a bit of performance iirc

[errant perch]

im genos

me make numbers parse

[faint prism]

What is happening rn?

[opal plank]

aham?

[earnest phoenix]

await focuses on the function/promise/static property or whatever until it's done so yes

[faint prism]

I saw someone's code today where they implemented a static instance of a class within itself. It was really weird

class MyClass
{
  private MyClass _instance = new MyClass();

  private MyClass() {}

  public static Instance() return _instance;
}

[opal plank]

ez pz, make everything async, then once you finish code, do ctrl+shift+f, replace async with '' and fix where errors happen, 300 iq 🧠

[earnest phoenix]

@opal plank Exactly

I saw someone's code today where they implemented a static instance of a class within itself. It was really weird
@faint prism it's actually a common pattern for libraries - i.e when you need to create a single instance of a class and keep it alive all throughout the lifetime but not allow any more creations of it

mostly used for reflection

[faint prism]

mostly used for reflection
@earnest phoenix It was in some productions code. I was getting a really weird exception when creating unit tests for it.
Really banging my head against it.
I ended the day by removing the GetInstance and it's references so I could register it in our IoC container
So hopefully that works

[heavy anchor]

@earnest phoenix I formatted your index file today (the one I had for the backup) and it made like 80 errors so I just uploaded it the way you had it lol

[earnest phoenix]

In my index.js file, everything goes by my rules, change something and you're in hell

[faint prism]

In my index.js file, everything goes by my rules, change something and you're in hell
@earnest phoenix Sounds like unmaintainable code

Learn some design patterns

[earnest phoenix]

Not unmaintainable, just you need to understand it

[opal plank]

my code is pretty idiot safe tbh, its quite hard to get it to error

[heavy anchor]

He is on mobile dude...

[opal plank]

why is that an issue?

[earnest phoenix]

You do realize how hard it's to code on mobile right

[opal plank]

js is js regardless of your platform, that just shows you have less will to live than the rest of us if you code on mobile

[heavy anchor]

No way to easily format it

[earnest phoenix]

Mobile doesn't have things like visual studio code to easily code and format everything

[undone solar]

Re, (using discord.js)
I installed node.js on my VPS after that
I went to the directory of the bot and started with (node .) but when I close my ssh session the bot doesn't stay on.
can you help me ?

[earnest phoenix]

That pc does have, so what can i say than try before saying

Re, (using discord.js)

can you help me ?
@undone solar use a window manager like screen or tmux

@undone solar Maybe you did something that it closes the session when cutting out of it

[heavy anchor]

You need a process manager like pm2 nodemon

[undone solar]

@heavy anchor Thanks
I'm trying to make the BOT stay on even if my computer is turned off (sorry for the bad English)

[earnest phoenix]

love it when the easiest solution gets ignored lol

[undone solar]

@undone solar use a window manager like screen or tmux
@earnest phoenix i need to pay settings on vps or i can just install it

[earnest phoenix]

they're just... packages

linux is open source there's nothing to pay

You don't buy node package manager packages

They're made for free

chances are your linux distro came with screen preinstalled

[undone solar]

Will search how to (screen) my bot , thanks for answers guys 🙂

chances are your linux distro came with screen preinstalled
Ok doesn't have to install it

[faint prism]

CTRL+A and D
will "minimize" or detatch the screen

[errant perch]

here's the stupid bot i needed to parse the numbers for

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[sudden geyser]

There are a number of reasons the bot couldn't be able to ban someone. One is role hierarchy.

The code looks correct according to the docs and my eyes.

But the scoping is not so good

You should at least add brackets to indicate the start and end of your scope as your whitespace only makes it look like it's supposed to ban the message author for every message sent.

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

Why wrong

[muted dock]

nvm sorry

[clever vector]

i put the token correctly

[muted dock]

sorry sorry dude i thought another thing

[clever vector]

ohh

[muted dock]

[sonic lodge]

if you're getting that error the token has to be invalid somehow

[clever vector]

Arghhh headache coming

[radiant patio]

    return channel.send(embedleave)
                   ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined```

[sonic lodge]

that means channel is undefined

[radiant patio]

    const channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get(channelId)```

it is

[sonic lodge]

in that case, it means there was no channel found with that id

[radiant patio]

but sometimes it will send the message

[royal laurel]

can anyonw tell me how i would like tie a certain amount of credits to users

andi f they spend something they lose some credits

im not sure how i would go about it

[sonic lodge]

on the occasions it does the channel has already been cached for whatever reason

      case 'help': helpCommand(message); break;

I understand the switch/case meme now

[pale vessel]

what meme

[earnest phoenix]

I really need help

How do I remove all of a mentioned user's roles

This is in discord.py rewrite

so for example:

remove @mentioneduser

And all their roles should go away.

Help anyone?

Loop through the roles a user has a remove them

How do we find the user's roles?

@earnest phoenix

ahhhhhhhhhh pls help

Idk python

But get the guildmember

And it has toles property

Roles*

member.roles?

so something like this:

for remove in member.roles:
  await member.remove_roles(remove)

I'm sure it's in the docs

ok

Yea

Something like that

ok

thanks

What’s the code?

For that bit of the bot

[frosty oriole]

i tried to make a messageembed, done but when i start it, the console logs that error

[faint prism]

@frosty oriole Typically means a syntax error is on the line above/before it

[frosty oriole]

oh k

oh wait there is

[faint prism]

If you get an error that says Unexpected token that means you have a syntax error somewhere

[frosty oriole]

ok ty, its fixed

[faint prism]

Since a "token" for a programming language is stuff like { } ; , etc
Basically the grammar

[frosty oriole]

oh well anyways

[gritty bolt]

how do people make bots that you can link accounts to using APIs?

i've been wanting to explore this idea for a bot but I don't know where to start

[royal laurel]

how would i attach like credits/currency to a user?

i dont know where i would start

[earnest phoenix]

look into databases

if you want to do sql, use sqlite for small scale, postgresql for large scale

if you don't, look into mongo or other nosql databases

[royal laurel]

k, those work with disc js im guessing

[faint prism]

Yeah, they have libraries

[royal laurel]

k

Is it possible to change the bots avatar every 4 hours with code?

[earnest phoenix]

why would you want to do that

[fringe axle]

Will be cool

lol

[fringe axle]

Other colors

Any idea?

[earnest phoenix]

as long as you're not verified, it's possible

[fringe axle]

Oh, my bot is on 20 servers. It will take a long time till I‘m verified. Any docs for it?

Oh xD

And any docs for avatar changing with code?

[earnest phoenix]

library or raw api request?

[fringe axle]

Hmm

Okay, thanks.

Just a timeout, random links, and done

i quite literally copy pasted this from discordjs.guide
and it doesnt work at all

I only changed the await reactions max/time thing

[fringe axle]

@earnest phoenix yea, uhh

[earnest phoenix]

you got a syntax error

[fringe axle]

Know I got a function error

@earnest phoenix, any idea?

[tranquil patrol]

last time i checked setavatar only has one argument

[obtuse jolt]

uhh yeah

[fringe axle]

Hm, it‘s just for the random avatars

[obtuse jolt]

.setAvatar(url)

[tranquil patrol]

the settimeout literally does nothing in this case

[obtuse jolt]

You could make the url inside the set avatar a function to randomly pick one also

[pale vessel]

why are you doing this

[tranquil patrol]

good point

😂

[pale vessel]

every 10 seconds?

what the fuck

[obtuse jolt]

Yeah that too

[fringe axle]

As test

[tranquil patrol]

isn't that api abuse

[obtuse jolt]

Why

[fringe axle]

If it‘s working

[tranquil patrol]

you get ratelimited for like couple of hours

[obtuse jolt]

Yeah

[tranquil patrol]

well i do for setname 😂

[fringe axle]

I‘ll set it on 4 hours later

But yea, kinda useless. xD

[obtuse jolt]

it would make sense for like activities

But

Avatars?

[fringe axle]

Yea

[thick gull]

no stupid avatar

[fringe axle]

I deleted it. xD
It was kinda useless

[thick gull]

yeah no changing your avatar that fast is probably

api abuse

doing x every y is usually api abuse

[fringe axle]

I‘ll set it on 4 hours later

[thick gull]

ok

[bronze mauve]

You wrote really fast

That was... fast!

[earnest phoenix]

hi

I am having trouble with developing a moderation bot

[thick gull]

https://dontasktoask.com

[earnest phoenix]

.

[drifting wedge]

Can anyone explain simply what’s sharding

[earnest phoenix]

take a bowl and break it

you're left with shards of the bowl

splitting it into smaller pieces

[torn ravine]

@earnest phoenix

[fickle dune]

why does

this happen

[crystal socket]

full screenshot please @fickle dune

[earnest phoenix]

why does it keep saying event loop is closed when i run my bot

[crystal socket]

screenshot

python or js

[earnest phoenix]

python

[crystal socket]

do you get any other error logs?

[fickle dune]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

no

[fickle dune]

lol why did i blur it

xd

[crystal socket]

@earnest phoenix improper token has been passed

[earnest phoenix]

lol how

[crystal socket]

like wrong token

like its the wrong token

[earnest phoenix]

yeah how

[crystal socket]

like it doesn't work

like its missing something

or its invalid

its a bot token right @earnest phoenix ?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[crystal socket]

re-copy it

and try again

[earnest phoenix]

kk

[crystal socket]

@fickle dune sorry my mistake

your branch isn't synced with git

do git pull

[fickle dune]

Oh ok

It pushes but the command dosent work and when i do node . it work

[earnest phoenix]

Me: do not turn on the bot it is in maintenance and might cause SHENANIGANS
Karens: well the developer said "If the bot is down goto repl.it and turn it on" so I'll turn it on
Me in the morning: The day is so cool!
Five minutes later
The welcome channel of my server: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I hate humans

[eager granite]

Can someone fix this

const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const got = require('got');

 module.exports = {
    name: "ban",
  category: "Moderation",
  description: "Ban Cmd!",
  execute(message) {

        if (!msg.mentions.users.size) {
                        return msg.reply('you need to tag a user in order to ban them!');
                }

        if (!msg.member.hasPermission("BAN_MEMBERS")) return;
        var member = msg.mentions.members.first();
        member.ban().then((member) => {
            msg.channel.send(random(success) + member.displayName + " has been banned");
        });
    },
};```

[misty sigil]

what wrong

[earnest phoenix]

@eager granite we won't spoonfeed

[earnest phoenix]

we won't just sit and fix your code. we can help with some stuff

[misty sigil]

what error

[earnest phoenix]

but we won't just give you fixed code

XD

[misty sigil]

bruh

[eager granite]

ty

[misty sigil]

@earnest phoenix We dont mini mod
@eager granite that isn't minimodding

its literally telling you that we won't spoonfeed

[earnest phoenix]

ty
@eager granite the hell

[thick gull]

when you copy paste code

[misty sigil]

ikr

[midnight blaze]

I upload my bot.js
pls fix it

[misty sigil]

[thick gull]

I upload my token.json pls fix it

[earnest phoenix]

i hate to spoonfeed and if they beg i link them my bot's open source code XD

[misty sigil]

I upload my token.json pls fix it
@thick gull

{
"t":"first 5 letters",
"o":"second 5",
"k":"third 5",
"e":"fourth 5",
"n":"the rest"
}

const token = config.t + config.o + config.k + config.e + config.n

[midnight blaze]

or make a for loop

[earnest phoenix]

no

[thick gull]

[misty sigil]

so you put the wrong part of it on starboard momentarily

good work

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[hidden spade]

.

[earnest phoenix]

this is how i store tokens:

[thick gull]

-dotpost

[earnest phoenix]

process.env.TOKEN;

[thick gull]

wait fuck this isn’t shitpost

[earnest phoenix]

I've got a whole 100+ lines of code which is my template for creating userData objects and inserting them to my mongodb collections

[dusk vault]

So I store my data into json files by guild, channel, member, user, and role. Since my commands are asynchronous and sometimes they do fast tasks in between loading and saving the data, does this mean that if two commands were run extremely quickly, one might overwrite the other's changes?

[misty sigil]

dont use json db

json db will easily corrupt

[thick gull]

I suggest mongodb;)

[misty sigil]

#development message

[dusk vault]

Which is JSON

[misty sigil]

no

its bson

and it has queueing

and its a proper db

[thick gull]

it does not overwrite itself and corrupt

[misty sigil]

because its a proper db

[thick gull]

and quite simple to use once you get the basic

[fluid basin]

uh a json file is very different from a json db

[misty sigil]

no @fluid basin you can easily see that the person is using json files as a database.

[fluid basin]

that won't be called a database

[misty sigil]

they are using it as a database

[fluid basin]

it will just be persistent storage

[misty sigil]

yes but they are using it as a database

[fluid basin]

ok lemme rephrase that

[misty sigil]

please do

[fluid basin]

json file is not the same as json file db nor a json-like db

[dusk vault]

I'll switch to MySQL, since I was hacking together a relational structure with JSON anyway

The painful part is going to be changing the 40 files of my bot to use MySQL instead of JSON

[fluid basin]

just use mongodb lol

[dusk vault]

No

[misty sigil]

you can literally import data from json

but ok i suppose

[dusk vault]

There is no data

And I need the ability to store keys with . and $ so MongoDB isn't for me

[fluid basin]

bruh

[misty sigil]

bru h

[dusk vault]

and _dot_

[misty sigil]

objects have joined the chat

[dusk vault]

objects with $ or . in mongodb cause errors...

[misty sigil]

let object = {foo:"bar", a: "b"}
object.a // returns b
object.foo // returns bar
``` iirc

[thick gull]

wait is there a specific reason why??

[dusk vault]

yes and table.find({$foo:"bar",".a":"b"}) throws an error

[slender thistle]

What kind

[dusk vault]

$set*

its a security hole

[thick gull]

And I need the ability to store keys with . and $ so MongoDB isn't for me
no I mean this

[dusk vault]

embed templates with names as keys

id rather not limit which chars

can be used

[lilac pollen]

How can I put my bot on top.gg after having uploaded the code into heroku?

[misty sigil]

https://top.gg/bot/new

[dusk vault]

What's wrong with MySQL though? It's a standard database with asynchronous support and an advance query language that suits every need I have for the bot

[misty sigil]

iirc its quite slow

[dusk vault]

MySQL isnt slow

[slender thistle]

Might as well go PostgreSQL

[dusk vault]

Can I use them interchangably

[misty sigil]

i mean if you can secure it properly

[dusk vault]

Like switch to PostgreSQL or SQLite later

from mysql

[slender thistle]

It's SQL so probably won't be too much of a hassle when compared to NoSQL -> SQL

[dusk vault]

aight

also prepared statements

[fluid basin]

well design wise it rather counter intuitive to set column/key names to variable data

[dusk vault]

yeah in a table i wouldnt do that

id have the key be a column itself

[fluid basin]

unless you tell me that you are going to "ALTER TABLE embeds RENAME COLUMN "my embed" TO "wtf"

[dusk vault]

lol

[fluid basin]

yeah thats the same case for mongo wtf

[dusk vault]

no

[fluid basin]

{
  "name": "my embed",
  "value": "embed data here"
}```

bruh

[dusk vault]

the embed list isnt a table

its part of the guild document

[misty sigil]

objects can be put in documents you know

[dusk vault]

yes i know

[slender thistle]

I mean, embed JSON that you can send to Discord will certainly be supported by MongoDB since there's no special characters in document keys

[misty sigil]

also @fluid basin did you forget a comma in that object

[fluid basin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusk vault]

i could just SELECT * FROM \embeds` WHERE `guild` = ? AND `channel` = ?and have thetemplate` column be a JSON string

too lazy to fix the formatting

[fluid basin]

bruh pls no

[nimble jacinth]

@lean mirage

[fluid basin]

json in sql is dumb

[dusk vault]

why

its just JSON.parse

[misty sigil]

i dont know much about sql but storing json seems dumb

mongo's probably better for storing json data

[dusk vault]

So heres a question

Multiple actually

[fluid basin]

sql is for normalised data

[dusk vault]

But first one

Can I store a key named $set inside of an object inside of a document

and have it not set anything

[misty sigil]

you can set it as null

[thick gull]

so if I have a json following the embed json format, if I do message.channel.send(require(path.to/json)) will it send the embed?

[misty sigil]

[dusk vault]

not what im asking

[thick gull]

I like to ask questions about other people’s things so I can learn

[dusk vault]

yes it would

[misty sigil]

wouldn't the json need to be exported?

[dusk vault]

no

[misty sigil]

doubt it but

[slender thistle]

The embed is sent in the request body, right?

[thick gull]

ELI5

[dusk vault]

what?

new question

how would mongodb solve my problem

the one i asked that everyone ignored

lol

Since my commands are asynchronous and sometimes they do fast tasks in between loading and saving the data, does this mean that if two commands were run extremely quickly, one might overwrite the other's changes?
@dusk vault

ill give an example

const data = (load guild document)
// do something with data
await someShortAsyncTask();
// do something with data
(save guild document)```

[fluid basin]

In MongoDB, a write operation is atomic on the level of a single document, even if the operation modifies multiple embedded documents within a single document.

[dusk vault]

and two of these get run at the same time

[fluid basin]

you can't fix that with sql either

lol

[dusk vault]

ik

but how do i fix it

is my question

i dont want random overwrites

that break commands

[fluid basin]

check if someone else is working on this item

and use locking

[misty sigil]

mongodb has queue iirc

[dusk vault]

wouldnt help

[misty sigil]

i mean most good db shouldn't just overwrite randomly

[dusk vault]

queue wouldnt fix me saving old data

[surreal sage]

.eval client.user.token

/eval

[dusk vault]

you misread the question

lol

[misty sigil]

yes i did

[surreal sage]

oops wrong channel

[misty sigil]

mb

[surreal sage]

👀

[fluid basin]

maintain a shared state

[dusk vault]

say like

[fluid basin]

instead of reading it

[dusk vault]

"Someone else is modifying the guild data. Please wait."

Lol

[fluid basin]

maintain a shared state
@fluid basin

[dusk vault]

wdym

keep it in memory you mean?

lets say there's 10GB worth of guild data for my bot and the vps has 4GB of memory

[fluid basin]

yeah great

how tf do you even get 10GB of guild data

[dusk vault]

point is

[earnest phoenix]

O

Hi

[misty sigil]

yea how

[dusk vault]

thats too much to keep in memory

like

[earnest phoenix]

Hey guys i have a question

[fluid basin]

then time™️ to™️ upgrade™️ your™️ vps™️ ™️

[dusk vault]

bruh

if im keeping it all in memory ill just use json

[earnest phoenix]

I haVe A Question

[dusk vault]

shoot

[fluid basin]

if you're updating it frequently, I don't see why not to keep it in memory

[earnest phoenix]

Yall got Developer Mode? Like when you can see the users id?

[dusk vault]

ok

yes

[misty sigil]

bruh

[dusk vault]

we do

[earnest phoenix]

U do?

[dusk vault]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

O ok

[misty sigil]

if you have 10GB of guild data

you shouldn't be on a vps with 4gb of ram

[dusk vault]

i dont

it was an example

i have a few K

lol

i like to plan too far ahead

[thick gull]

ok but

[fluid basin]

lol you do know a few K to 10GB is more than 10000000x

[thick gull]

how is it even possible to get to 10GB

that’s like

10Kx10

[dusk vault]

uh

thats 1G x 10
