development

[white vapor]

how do you make the bot say something and then the username

[delicate shore]

.join(%20) something like this

[thick gull]

you can use mongo atlas if your willing to learn mongo

[delicate shore]

Don't know if it will work

[thick gull]

.join('%20')

[earnest phoenix]

i found this https://corona.lmao.ninja/v2/states/${country.replace(/\s/, '%20')}

[opal plank]

urlEncode() is a thing btw

[thick gull]

or that

[sudden geyser]

or you could use encodeURI

[delicate shore]

Just use a npm package

[sweet kestrel]

wait, how to connect database to a remote database?

[opal plank]

encodeURI is what i meant

[earnest phoenix]

hmm oke lemme test it thanks guys

[sweet kestrel]

@thick gull

[opal plank]

@sweet kestrel get a database somewhere, use the ip as target, ezx

[sudden geyser]

which is far more reliable

[thick gull]

^^

[sweet kestrel]

huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

idk

😭

[thick gull]

ok

[opal plank]

same way you had your database locally, just change target to their IP/domain

[sweet kestrel]

;(

[opal plank]

theres literally no difference

[thick gull]

you can also just buy a VPS and completely avoid this issue

if you want

[opal plank]

you just changing ip

[misty sigil]

if you can’t understand that why make a bot?

[sweet kestrel]

oh

[thick gull]

@misty sigil cool gamer :sunglas;

[thick gull]

wha?

[opal plank]

lightmode

[thick gull]

client mod by using white theme

[misty sigil]

you need message.author.tag in d.js

[thick gull]

[misty sigil]

and also — is that a message logger

[thick gull]

looks like it

[white vapor]

its a thing i made called quick emoji

[thick gull]

wait does ('quote', thing)

work

?

[opal plank]

thats an amazing way of poorly doing stuff

you just cloning message

[misty sigil]

No

[opal plank]

its not like messageDelete event exists, right?

[misty sigil]

it doesn’t

[opal plank]

[thick gull]

shouldn't it be like (`pog pog ${pog}`) or ('pog' + pog)

[earnest phoenix]

:(((

[misty sigil]

yes

yes

[white vapor]

it works for embed and it didnt give any errors so

[thick gull]

@earnest phoenix we told you, join args[1] and args[2]

your only using args[1]

which is the first one

args is being split by spaces

[earnest phoenix]

how

[thick gull]

.join

[opal plank]

or replace content

[thick gull]

yea

[earnest phoenix]

im replacing it

[opal plank]

replace(prefix+command+space, '')

[earnest phoenix]

https://corona.lmao.ninja/v2/states/${country.replace(/\s/, '%20'

[opal plank]

on message content

[thick gull]

country is args[1]

[opal plank]

[thick gull]

😔

[earnest phoenix]

bruh im lost

[misty sigil]

You need args[1] and [2]

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[opal plank]

you trying to replace spaces on country, which is ONLY args[1]

[misty sigil]

and no spaces

[thick gull]

args[1]%20args[2] something like this

[opal plank]

args[1] DOESNT have spaces

well, it might

[thick gull]

but would suggest dynamically doing it

[opal plank]

but its being SPLIT on spaces to make args

[earnest phoenix]

args[1]%20args[2} and where i put this

[thick gull]

[opal plank]

stop

stop copying

pay attention

learn

[earnest phoenix]

ok ok

[misty sigil]

args.shift().join(" ")?

[earnest phoenix]

tell me

[opal plank]

look

[earnest phoenix]

args.shift().join(" ")?
@misty sigil not working

[opal plank]

i send hello world hi

what are your args?

[sudden geyser]

If you're trying to add user input in the URL, I recommend you use encodeURI

[misty sigil]

Did you include the ?

[opal plank]

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

i send hello world hi
@opal plank hello?¿

[thick gull]

@sudden geyser thats not the issue currently, he is trying to get info on args[1] and [2] when the target is only [1]

[opal plank]

thats args[0]

[misty sigil]

if you did I’m honestly going away and out of this server never to be seen again

[opal plank]

what is args ?

[earnest phoenix]

arguments

[opal plank]

wrong

what is args?

[misty sigil]

it’s an array

[opal plank]

^^

[thick gull]

where did you get the args code if you dont get it 😔

[misty sigil]

arrays have indexes

[opal plank]

what is in that array @earnest phoenix ?

[earnest phoenix]

im diying

[opal plank]

you lacking too many fundamentals of js

you shouldnt be doing a bot without knowing those things

[misty sigil]

yea

^

[opal plank]

those are the most basic things you need to code

[thick gull]

what is an array

❓

[opal plank]

what are objects? what are variables? what is an array?

it seems like you've been copying code thus far

which wont get you far

[earnest phoenix]

i didn´t copy, trust in me, i forget how args work

[opal plank]

[earnest phoenix]

i get the args code from my old bot

[misty sigil]

@earnest phoenix awnser what are objects? what are variables? what is an array?

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[misty sigil]

mdn time

[thick gull]

brrr mdn

[eternal osprey]

i still have no clue on how to filter the countries by command

[thick gull]

?

[eternal osprey]

so if you use !sunnyweather, you get all the countries that have sunny weather atm

[fervent fable]

Sa

[eternal osprey]

(not all, like 20)

[fervent fable]

Türk

Varmı

[eternal osprey]

i already have the code

[fervent fable]

Türküm

[misty sigil]

#memes-and-media

[opal plank]

@fervent fable english only

[earnest phoenix]

A variable is an element that is used to store and refer to another value @misty sigil

[eternal osprey]

just need to filter the objects

[thick gull]

.filter()?

wait

it took you

ok

[fervent fable]

@opal plank why ? Nooo , ı am turkısh

[misty sigil]

A variable is an element that is used to store and refer to another value @misty sigil
@opal plank check if that’s taken from mdn

[thick gull]

[white vapor]

i still need a solution

[thick gull]

to?

[white vapor]

i cant find anything on this

[opal plank]

@earnest phoenix a variable is a thing you declare, be it with a value or not

[thick gull]

message.author.tag?

[white vapor]

let me send it again

[thick gull]

you arent combing the string and tag right

[opal plank]

a variable is just a memory variable thats declared, assigning it comes after

[thick gull]

you did "", variable

"" + variable

[opal plank]

but you technically right, you can reference stuff

[misty sigil]

what are objects? what are variables? what is an array?
@opal plank

1. {foo:"bar", bar:"foo"} (a way of storing things)
2. A defined thing (e.g. let a; they don’t have to have data)
3. A list of things

[thick gull]

or `test ${variable}`

[opal plank]

@earnest phoenix in my example Hello world hi what are the args?

[thick gull]

@white vapor do you have a solid understanding of JS

because it seems you dont know how to put variables in strings 😔

[white vapor]

no not really, ive just been getting stuff from documentation and tutorials

[eternal osprey]

boys

[misty sigil]

in my example Hello world hi what are the args?
@opal plank I know the awnser and I have the urge to say it

[thick gull]

please learn the base of JS before making a bot

[eternal osprey]

how do i filter my info i scraped from weather-js.

so if i use !weather sunny, it returns countries with sunny weather

[opal plank]

@misty sigil i know you know, let the fella answer for themselves, otherwise its pointless

[white vapor]

kinda a bit too late because its literally finished

[thick gull]

read the introduction here

https://discordjs.guide/

[misty sigil]

I want to see what they say

[thick gull]

they took like 10 minutes to define a variable

idk what your expecting here

[opal plank]

i dont mind if they are googling it, as long as by the end they know what it is, its fine

they wont get far copying code

[thick gull]

kinda tempted to make a bot just copying code and see how far i can get with it just to have fun kekw

[white vapor]

my bots finished im just trying to fix things

[misty sigil]

it isn’t hard

no need for comma

[thick gull]

wh

[misty sigil]

just +

[opal plank]

since i dont know py too well, i might try that

[thick gull]

i mean i learned js mostly copying code

but i didnt just like

[opal plank]

no-code challenge

[thick gull]

copy paste and then

im done

[opal plank]

you cannot do anything other than change variable values

[misty sigil]

you observed what the code done

[thick gull]

yea

[opal plank]

you arent allowed to change code

that sounds like fun

[thick gull]

ok @opal plank do you want to race, first to 20 servers owned by completely random people with copied code

[misty sigil]

I got to 104

[opal plank]

hell yeah lmao

[thick gull]

bet

[lament meteor]

@thick gull i mean... all my code is from stackoverflow with the variable names change

[opal plank]

i guess there isnt much point in trying it if people done it unironically lmao

[thick gull]

i mean

maybe

[opal plank]

they never answered

here i was trying to help, and they ghosted me

feelsBadMan

[misty sigil]

guess they just really didn’t have a fucking clue

[opal plank]

probably right

i wonder...

well, i guess even twitch has undocumented stuff

[charred geyser]

can anyone point me in the best way of making your bot send a message upon joining a server

basically im not sure how to make it find a channel to send the message in

[misty sigil]

client.channels.cache.get("channel ID") for discord.js

you can send to that

[charred geyser]

but how can i get a channel id if the bot has never joined the server

[opal plank]

then you cant

[charred geyser]

exactly

[opal plank]

you arent suppose to be getting your hands on servers that you dont have access to

[charred geyser]

wdum?

[thick gull]

he said upon joining

[charred geyser]

litterally like

yeah

[thick gull]

so once the bot joins

[opal plank]

oh

[charred geyser]

once the bot joins

[thick gull]

iirc guild.send()?

[charred geyser]

send the help embed

[opal plank]

then once it join it should cache the guild

[thick gull]

im not sure abt that

kekw

[opal plank]

nah

guild.channel should exist

[misty sigil]

No need to send a help embed

[opal plank]

even when the event is fired

it returns guild, then you can get channels out of that

[thick gull]

iirc guild.send()?
@thick gull meant this

i looked into it a while ago but never really used it

[opal plank]

is that a thing?

[misty sigil]

if they’re interested, they will get the help themselves

[charred geyser]

bruh

[slender thistle]

guild.channel should exist
PLURAL, not singular

[charred geyser]

thats your opinion lol

[misty sigil]

no

[opal plank]

@slender thistle yes indeed

[proven lantern]

@charred geyser https://gist.github.com/koad/316b265a91d933fd1b62dddfcc3ff584#file-discordjs-cheatsheet-js-L138

[thick gull]

i dont think its a thing

actually

nvm

[misty sigil]

no need to shovel the embed down their throat

[opal plank]

send() is a method from Channel>

[misty sigil]

they will use the help command themselves

[proven lantern]

guildCreate

[opal plank]

thats the event

which returns a guild object

[slender thistle]

for-loop over guild text channels, for each element check if bot has permissions to send a message. If yes, send and break the loop, otherwise, continue

[charred geyser]

yeah i have it inside the event guildCreate

[slim ravine]

!help

[opal plank]

check @ everyone perm

[thick gull]

!help
@slim ravine #commands and common prefixes dont work

[opal plank]

incase your bot has high permissions

say your bot has admin perm(which it shouldnt), it may post on announcements channel or somewhere it shouldnt

[charred geyser]

this is what i was using

[opal plank]

prob best to check for @ everyone permission to send

[charred geyser]

    let joinChannel = "";
    guild.channels.cache.forEach((channel) => {
        if(channel.type == "text" && joinChannel == "") {
            if(channel.permissionsFor(guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
                defaultChannel = channel;
            }
        }
    })
    joinChannel.send(BotJoinMessage)

oops

lol

BotJoinMessage is already defined

[opal plank]

wait what

[sweet kestrel]

guys

[opal plank]

where even is that nested on?

[sweet kestrel]

if i have databases in my code, i want to host it

how

[thick gull]

we told you

[sweet kestrel]

to do it free

[thick gull]

you cant host a db on heroku

[opal plank]

you dont have database in code

[sweet kestrel]

😦

[thick gull]

[opal plank]

if you do, its bad

database in code is stored in memory

[sweet kestrel]

😦

[thick gull]

he means sql

i think

[sweet kestrel]

yes

mysql

[thick gull]

im not sure what hes doing

[opal plank]

sql is stored locally, its not related to the code

the code is just what sends/reads from the db

[thick gull]

hes trying to use it on a heroku host

[sweet kestrel]

how to do it again? lol

[thick gull]

use a remote host

if you want to use heroku

[opal plank]

^^

[charred geyser]

where even is that nested on?
@opal plank i have ./events/ setup

[thick gull]

or change to a proper vps

[opal plank]

@charred geyser which language is that?

[charred geyser]

so its in the guildCreate event

js

[opal plank]

d.js

[charred geyser]

yea

[opal plank]

hmm

guildCreate, okay

why you doing a forEach?

[faint prism]

I mean, I have an admin DM-only command that tells me something like this

<redacted>
    ** BOT-TO-USER IMBALANCE **
    ** BOT IS ADMIN **
    Admins: <redacted>
    Total Users: 168
    Users to Bots ratio: 98.21 %
    Real Users: 3
    Bots: 165

[charred geyser]

cause its like

[faint prism]

Useful for making my bot leave bot farms

[opal plank]

that'll send message on every channel it has perm

[charred geyser]

for each channel check if it has permissions to send

nah it doesn't

[thick gull]

Useful for making my bot leave bot farms
@faint prism wait what is a bot farm

[opal plank]

@faint prism im using something similar

[charred geyser]

i dont think

what would you suggest i do?

[faint prism]

@faint prism wait what is a bot farm
@thick gull Looks like it

[opal plank]

@faint prism https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446425627587903490/747193176158240859/unknown.png

[thick gull]

cause my bot got added to a server called "bot overtaken" within minutes of being added to a list

[opal plank]

those are my limits for my bot

i havent added bot % yet

[sweet kestrel]

I will search host up

[opal plank]

if guild has less than 10 members, and doesnt user 5 commands in the span of a week, nor have 20 messages in the span of a week, it auto leaves

[thick gull]

okay boys be b ack in like an hour spanish clASS

[charred geyser]

gl

[opal plank]

@charred geyser you could get a loop and get first one that matches

[fluid basin]

that isn't the best idea tbh, it stops those who actually want to test your bots before using it in their servers

[opal plank]

also should check for @ everone rather than your own perms

[sweet kestrel]

@thick gull ?

[opal plank]

@fluid basin a whole week to test the bot?

[charred geyser]

permissions isn't really a problem

[thick gull]

you need a remote DB

im not sure how

but thats what

[sweet kestrel]

is that it?

[thick gull]

instead of doign localhost you do <ip>/<website>

[sweet kestrel]

ok

[charred geyser]

how would i make it find the first text channel regardless of permissions? @opal plank

[fluid basin]

I'm talking about the member min part

also heroku is not cpanel and does not have cpanel

[opal plank]

@fluid basin the kick event only fires if ALL of them match

not OR

[fluid basin]

bruh ok

[charred geyser]

bruh.

[opal plank]

@charred geyser doesnt cllection have a first() method?

[faint prism]

bruh.
@charred geyser What, you don't do that?

[charred geyser]

i do but i close it often

[opal plank]

i stay a couple days awake due to my old bad habits from gaming ARK

[charred geyser]

lol

[opal plank]

and before you ask, no, im not running the bot on VSC

its running on a proper vpn

lemme check something

[charred geyser]

lol

[drifting wedge]

how do i embed images?

d.py

[opal plank]

@charred geyser

https://ptb.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/265156322012561408/751125064102969364

[charred geyser]

.name?

[opal plank]

as i thought, collection does have first()

[charred geyser]

yea

[opal plank]

just needed something to output that isnt a big ass object to hit 2000 char limit

[charred geyser]

oh ok

[opal plank]

then use that

[charred geyser]

i can use that without message?

right

[opal plank]

though

remember

[charred geyser]

cause message would be undefined in a guildCreate

[opal plank]

information isnt a channel

its a category

[charred geyser]

oh

[opal plank]

check for type

[drifting wedge]

how do i embed msgs?

[charred geyser]

if(channel.type == "text")

?

[opal plank]

that'd work

[charred geyser]

ok neat so i want like

[opal plank]

3 =

btw

equal type

not just equal

[charred geyser]

oh yea

mb

[opal plank]

equal causes bugs sometimes

just like var

[restive furnace]

what's diffence in js of === and ==? is === less buggy

3 =
btw
equal type
not just equal
equal causes bugs sometimes
just like var

[opal plank]

this is how stupid js is

this is a bug believe it or not

[charred geyser]

=== means its the same and the same type

[opal plank]

you arent meant to multiply string vs number

[charred geyser]

== means its the same

i think

[opal plank]

correct, equal TYPE

[charred geyser]

by the same i mean equal

[opal plank]

checks type too

[charred geyser]

yes

[opal plank]

ts is smart about this

js is like, fuck it

[charred geyser]

guild.channels.cache.first()

[restive furnace]

kk

[charred geyser]

so i could do like

const channel = guild.channels.cache.first();

[opal plank]

again, it might return a category

actually, itll LIKELY return a category

[restive furnace]

so basically "1" == 1 returns true, "1" === 1 returns false?

[opal plank]

@restive furnace correct

[charred geyser]

how would i put a if statement into that

[thick gull]

i mean you could look for a channel called general first before

[opal plank]

loop with for instead of first()

[charred geyser]

const channel = guild.channels.cache.first();

    if(channel.type === "text") {
        joinChannel.send(BotJoinMessage)

    }

[opal plank]

incorrect

[charred geyser]

f

will channel.type not recognise channel

it wont

uhh

[drifting wedge]

how do i embed images?
discord py

[slender thistle]

Does anyone know any good Python formatter plugins for Sublime Text 3?

[opal plank]

@charred geyser

let channel:<Discord.TextChannel|undefined>;
for(let c of guild.channels) {
if(c) return;
if(type === 'text') channel.push(c)
}```

you can do more logic below like checking for @ everyone permissions in that channel

[restive furnace]

<type:another_type> is a TS 4.0 feature?

[opal plank]

youa rent suppose to copy shit

[charred geyser]

😦

[opal plank]

i downloaded ts 4.0 but i havent fully checked it yet

[restive furnace]

k

[opal plank]

let channel:Discord.TextChannel|undefined;

this would be the correct one currently

[charred geyser]

what happened to guild.channels.cache.first();

[drifting wedge]

how do i embed an image?

[opal plank]

nothing, i told you it will likely get category and its bad to use in this case

i provided that example so you'd learn from it, not copy it

specially cuz thats TypeScript, not Javascript

[charred geyser]

yea

i was gonna say

channel =

[opal plank]

you can declare variables without assigned values

[restive furnace]

you probably should learn basic fundamentals of JS first? [seasnail]

[opal plank]

let a;

is valid JS syntax

[charred geyser]

[opal plank]

you dont need to assign values on a variable right away

[charred geyser]

yea

i use that quite a lot

[opal plank]

https://ptb.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/751128015903129620

then?

that : is me setting its type, not its value

: is type = is value

[restive furnace]

^ only TS has types

[opal plank]

^^

[charred geyser]

lol for some reason you are able to invite bots to listen along to your spotify

nice 😄

[opal plank]

Bot be vibing

[charred geyser]

beuh

TypeError: Cannot read property 'cache' of undefined

i just shouldn't use that should i

[opal plank]

check if whatever you trying to get is there

[charred geyser]

i litterally had it workiing

becuase i was using v11

and this worked

let defaultChannel = "";
guild.channels.forEach((channel) => {
  if(channel.type == "text" && defaultChannel == "") {
    if(channel.permissionsFor(guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
      defaultChannel = channel;
    }
  }
})

and then it would just defaultChannel.send

[opal plank]

upgrade

[charred geyser]

i did

[opal plank]

v11 is deprecated now

[charred geyser]

yeah i upgraded and started using a database

[opal plank]

also forEach bad

do a for loop

[charred geyser]

yeah now it is

[restive furnace]

and why assign defaultChannel as a string, and then assing it as Discord.Channel?

[sonic lodge]

instead of just guild.channels, v12 implements managers, so you need to use guild.channels.cache

[restive furnace]

(ik this isnt TS, bt still)

[charred geyser]

yea

[earnest phoenix]

Any ideas on how to fix this?

[restive furnace]

npm rebuild?

[sonic lodge]

try uninstalling and reinstalling the module

[earnest phoenix]

Tried npm install or npm rebuild, didn't work

try uninstalling and reinstalling the module
@sonic lodge Also tried, nothing

[sonic lodge]

interesting

[charred geyser]

so i can use for(let c of guild.channels) { if(c) return; if(type === 'text'){ channel.send(BotJoinMessage) } }

but i need to define channel as something

i think

[faint prism]

just get guild default

[charred geyser]

what

[faint prism]

the system txt channel

[restive furnace]

and you literally assigned the channel as c.

[sonic lodge]

guild.channels is a collection, right?

[charred geyser]

yea i guess so

[sonic lodge]

when you iterate it using for of, c will be an array

[charred geyser]

Not Erwin wrote it

[restive furnace]

dont copy paste

and you're returning if c isn't nullable??

[faint prism]

for(let c of guild.channels) {
        if(c) return;```
Won't that return if it isn't null..?

[restive furnace]

if (c) return;

^^ yep

[faint prism]

Did he forget the logical not ! ?

[restive furnace]

he just copied the pseudocode

[charred geyser]

if (!c) return; ?

[faint prism]

Well think about it

what would that do?

If c is null, it would return

Is that what you want?

[charred geyser]

i guess

well since c shouldn't be null

[faint prism]

Well, you wouldnt want it to be null and try to do something with it, right?

[charred geyser]

yea

[faint prism]

Exactly

🙂

[charred geyser]

if c was null there would be no channels in the server

i think lol

[faint prism]

Lol, pretty much

I can't think of another scenario where it'd be null

Maybe in a DM

[charred geyser]

yea

[sonic lodge]

wouldn't the collection just be empty

[faint prism]

good point

[charred geyser]

yea

i guess

[faint prism]

It may never actually be null

[charred geyser]

anyway

its better safe then sorry

so for the next bit i want to check if the channel type is text

[faint prism]

🤷‍♂️ wouldn't hurt

[drifting wedge]

whats the on typing

like make the bot say is typing

[charred geyser]

and if it is i want it to send the message

guild.channels will give all the channels right?

so i need to pick a channel

which would be guild.channels.cache.first()

right?

[faint prism]

I believe so

[charred geyser]

so would i let channel = guild.channels.cache.first()

[faint prism]

Mhmm

[charred geyser]

        let channel = guild.channels.cache.first();
        for(let c of guild.channels) {
        if(!c) return;
        if(channel.type === 'text'){
            channel.send(BotJoinMessage)
        }

but i dont think that will work

[sonic lodge]

you aren't doing anything with c

[charred geyser]

oh

[faint prism]

That for loop is unnecessary in that snippet lol

[charred geyser]

how else would i find the first channel

[faint prism]

you aren't doing anything with c
@sonic lodge Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't fisrt() the same as guild.channels.cache[0]?

[charred geyser]

guild.channels.cache.first(); apparently returns a category

[sonic lodge]

no

[faint prism]

well, ig one would be nullable, the other throws an exception if the array is empty

[sonic lodge]

guild.channels.cache[0] would be undefined

[charred geyser]

i do this

    let link = client.generateInvite(["ADMINISTRATOR"]);
    console.log(("INVITE: ")+(link));```

i think

something like that

it generates a invite with admin permissions

oh shit

[faint prism]

it'd be a method

[charred geyser]

mine is bot invite

you said server invite

sorry

[faint prism]

oh d.js has a bot invite generator? neat

[charred geyser]

yea

well it worked in v11 i haven't tried after updating

[faint prism]

I've always done:
discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={clientId}&scope=bot&permissions=0

[charred geyser]

that gives the bot no perms

i always use =8

[faint prism]

wdym?

Bot's can join via a server invite

[drifting wedge]

how do i add commands to cogs?

[earnest phoenix]

So i get this when trying to install color-thief, any ideas about what does this even mean?

[quartz kindle]

it failed to install canvas

did you install all the canvas dependencies?

[earnest phoenix]

I got canvas 2.6.1

It seems like it's trying to install canvas 2.5.0 but fails

[quartz kindle]

weird lol

try going into node_modules/color-thief

and edit its package.json

to use canvas 2.6.1

[misty sigil]

pacakg.json editing are we

hi tim

[earnest phoenix]

How to when i don't even have the package installed?

Like it fails doesn't it?

[misty sigil]

it might be in node_modules still tho

[quartz kindle]

use -s

[misty sigil]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

What does that flag do

[misty sigil]

i'll accept that as a solution because tim

[charred geyser]

ok after many attempts i still cant get it working

[quartz kindle]

-s / --save

[charred geyser]

tim how do i make the bot send a message upon joining a server @quartz kindle

it worked in v11 but now that ive upgraded it just doesn't

[misty sigil]

I wanna play a music stream 24/7 in my channel, but FFMPEG stops playing 1-12 hours later

[still merlin]

I’m thinking of using auth with my discord bot to fetch global guild counts and other stuff, Except I don’t know what to do first, I’d assume I need to give my bot scopes etc, But what would I do then? I’d guess id make a “auth.json” and require it, And shove something like this in auth.json (On a phone and don’t have code blocks, sorry)

{
client_id: 'bot id',
client_secret: 'client secret',
grant_type: 'authorization_code',
redirect_uri: 'redirect url with permissions api calculator or smthin',
scope: 'the scopes',
}
but like json formation, could someone explain setting up auth to me please?

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle Tried the save flag but it's not found in the node_modules folder

[steep shale]

Does anyone mind walking me through css for my bot’s description?

[charred geyser]

on the discord server list?

[steep shale]

yeah

Like how this guy did for example

[misty sigil]

you can't do it for servers iirc

[steep shale]

Background?

What about the background

[drifting wedge]

embed=discord.Embed(colour=self.random_color, title='Have any ideas? Leave them in our discord!')
embed.set_image(submission.url)

    await channel.send(f'{embed}')

this is wrong

but like whats wrong:

i want it to send the embed with the picture

[slender thistle]

set_image(url=submission.url)

[charred geyser]

@slender thistle can you help me make my bot send a message upon joining a server

[drifting wedge]

@slender thistle

saying command meme not foun

[slender thistle]

Send code

[drifting wedge]

1 sec

[slender thistle]

@charred geyser on memberjoin event, member.send

[charred geyser]

no

i mean the bot joining

like guildCreate event

[slender thistle]

guildjoin

[charred geyser]

yeah but

[slender thistle]

Oh it was you from a few somewhat minutes ago

[charred geyser]

what i can't figure out is how to get the channel

yea

[slender thistle]

Tbh I'd suggest not doing it at all

[charred geyser]

it worked in v11

rip

in v11 i was able to do let defaultChannel = ""; guild.channels.forEach((channel) => { if(channel.type == "text" && defaultChannel == "") { if(channel.permissionsFor(guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) { defaultChannel = channel; } } }) defaultChannel.send(BotJoinMessage)

[earnest phoenix]

wait you can store multiple objects in the same JSON file

{
  "lmao": "lmao"
}
{
  "lmao":"lmao"
}

doesn't look valid JSON to me there are no commas between objects
||@quartz kindle is my crush||

[charred geyser]

same

tim is our saviour and messiah

[slender thistle]

If you need 2 separate JSONs in one file, you'd have to make keys for each one or make it an array

[earnest phoenix]

If you need 2 separate JSONs in one file, you'd have to make keys for each one or make it an array
@slender thistle discord markdown said it is correct syntax

[misty sigil]

no i dont think you can

you can however

[earnest phoenix]

lol wut

[slender thistle]

I wouldn't rely on Markdown highlighting

[earnest phoenix]

no i dont think you can

you can however

yeah it's big brain time

[misty sigil]

{
"1": {},
"2": {}
}```

[slender thistle]

or use an array

[broken jay]

Hi

[slender thistle]

[misty sigil]

or that but thats no fun shibaco

[earnest phoenix]

that's not what i said

[slender thistle]

it just doesn't work

[sudden geyser]

{} alone makes a new scope

[earnest phoenix]

k

seriously need to start reading MDN and be a real man rather than follow grasshopper app (BY GOOGLE) and still remain confused

why did i quote that message

[misty sigil]

{
"1": {"foo": "bar"},
"2": {"a": "b"}
}``` would work if my json knowledge is good enough

[earnest phoenix]

that's not wut i asked

see the pic that SHEEVACU sent

[real niche]

what about it?

[misty sigil]

yea what bout it

[slender thistle]

You can see that it was highlighted in the browser too but didn't work

[real niche]

It's a javascript console. It parses json.

[
  {
    "lmao": "lmao"
  },
  {
    "lmao":"lmao"
  }
]```

[earnest phoenix]

k

[steep shale]

So can someone walk me through using css for my bot description?

I wanna customize the background of my bot

[drifting wedge]

@slender thistle

did u see the pastebin?

[slender thistle]

creating new client objects on each command usage

Again, bad practice

but I'll just ignore that from now on

[earnest phoenix]

So can someone walk me through using css for my bot description?
@steep shale uhhh https://w3schools.com/css

[slender thistle]

Are you sure the cog is being loaded

[real niche]

I can't remember if non-certified bots are allowed to use style tags (I don't think so though). I'm pretty sure you can use the style attribute though.

You can also use markdown.

<h1 style="asjkfsj">Bot name</h1>```

[slender thistle]

JS is restricted for certified bots, HTML and CSS are not

[real niche]

So html <style> style { style1: true; } </style> is allowed?

[slender thistle]

mhm

<script> isn't

[real niche]

Oh. I thought both script and style tags were.

[fringe axle]

How can I get if the user is boosting and since when? (discord.js v12)

[steep shale]

Which library

[fringe axle]

discord.js v12 (forgot that, sorry)

[steep shale]

Sorry Im only discordpy

[fringe axle]

Okay, no problem

[digital ibex]

wrong url

[misty sigil]

How can I get if the user is boosting and since when? (discord.js v12)
@fringe axle <member>.premiumSince

[fringe axle]

Oh, thanks!

And how can I check it if he‘s boosting @misty sigil?

[steep shale]

Idk if its like py but use a bool

[undone salmon]

probably premiumSince will return 0 if they are not boosting

dont take my word for it though

just a guess

[misty sigil]

it will

[undone salmon]

how do i get my bot to say watching

[steep shale]

What library

[fringe axle]

Okay

[undone salmon]

wait wrong server

[restive furnace]

{ type: "LISTENING", name: "Hi", url: null } for presence object iirc

[undone salmon]

sorry

meant to put that in discord js server lol

thanks

[steep shale]

Damn everyone does js

[undone salmon]

yeah

[steep shale]

Am i the only one here who uses py

[undone salmon]

my bot is for music so im not sure how to do music bots in py

[steep shale]

Using lavalink

[undone salmon]

oh

[restive furnace]

because it's probably more beginner friendly (and more error prone cough cough)

[steep shale]

js more beginner friendly?

nah

It looks complicated when I saw some code from it

Im used to py

[high blade]

Is there a reliable way to get embeds from a message that your bot just sent?

It seems really unreliable

[undone salmon]

what do you mean by get

[high blade]

Ok so basically

My bot allows you to define custom commands

[undone salmon]

Ok

[high blade]

To give info to people

[restive furnace]

Im used to py
yeah cause, you're used to py, but for beginners, the syntax might look easier, or who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[high blade]

This info often includes links

We don't want the link embeds to show up

[undone salmon]

ohj

[high blade]

Because they're way too big

But we do want image embeds to show up if we linked an image

[undone salmon]

oof idk how to do that

[high blade]

I'm struggling to find a reliable way to do this

Like everything I do that works is a hack

Currently I get the embeds, filter for image embeds, suppress embeds if there's non-image embeds (embeds.length > imageEmbeds.length), and then edit the message to re-add each image embed

But sometimes it just returns an empty array for the embeds...

So some of the time it won't remove the embeds

[undone salmon]

yeah i dont know that deep into it i think you should ask in discord js server

[high blade]

😢

[undone salmon]

if you are using js

which i guessign you are?

[high blade]

Yeah I am

I'm gonna ask there now, cheers

[undone salmon]

i cant post link but you should be able to ask there

just a warning some people there are EXTREMELY good at it and might seem a bit rude

but they will solve your issue 100%

i expect

[charred geyser]

        const user = message.mentions.users.first() || message.author;
        if (!user) return message.channel.send("Please specify a user!")
        const avatarEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
            .setColor(0x333333)
            .setAuthor(user.username)
            .setImage(user.avatarURL);
        message.channel.send(avatarEmbed);

TypeError: Cannot read property 'users' of undefined

what am i doing wrong

[undone salmon]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44519424/cannot-read-property-user-of-undefined may help

[charred geyser]

its html

thats not really anything to do with my issue i dont think

[undone salmon]

oh my bad lol

[charred geyser]

np

i guess its something to do with message.mentions.users.first()

is that not a thing in v12?

or should it be users.cache.first

[misty sigil]

no?

[charred geyser]

what is wrong then

[restive furnace]

user.cache.first() probably returns the clientuser iirc

[charred geyser]

how can i get mentioned then

alr

[restive furnace]

message.mentions.first()

go look the docs or smth

[charred geyser]

TypeError: Cannot read property 'first' of undefined

i guess i will just thought it would easier to ask here

[fringe axle]

Then message.mentions is not defined.

[earnest phoenix]

@charred geyser what mentions u mentioned ?

members, roles, channnel ?

what

[charred geyser]

member

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

const member = message.mentions.members.first()

@charred geyser ^^^

you need to get member from all mentions

[charred geyser]

so members not users

TypeError: Cannot read property 'members' of undefined @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

hmm show what did u typed

[charred geyser]

this is my code

        const user = message.mentions.members.first() || message.author;
        if (!user) return message.channel.send("Please specify a user!")
        const avatarEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
            .setColor(0x333333)
            .setAuthor(user.username)
            .setImage(user.avatarURL);
        message.channel.send(avatarEmbed);

[earnest phoenix]

rich embed ?

hmm you are v11

[charred geyser]

ii was

iim updating

[earnest phoenix]

THEN UPDATE

[charred geyser]

i can change that but thats not the issue

[earnest phoenix]

npm install discord.js@12.x.x

First then we will see what is the problem

[charred geyser]

i already updated

[mental rivet]

i made a bot that does absolutly nothing

[charred geyser]

lol

i made a bot that does absolutly nothing
@mental rivet nice

[earnest phoenix]

@charred geyser did you mentioned a user when testing ?

[charred geyser]

i already have it installed

i am just fixing all my old v11 commands

[earnest phoenix]

now test it again

[charred geyser]

yeah no output

TypeError: Cannot read property 'members' of undefined

[earnest phoenix]

hmm

console.log(message.mentions) ?

@charred geyser and try without

|| message.author

[charred geyser]

ok

nope TypeError: Cannot read property 'members' of undefined

console didn't log

[earnest phoenix]

huh ?

wtf

show console

@charred geyser Show all of ur file

[charred geyser]

thats console

const Discord = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    name: "avatar",
    category: 'general',
    description: "Displays the mentioned users profile picture in an embed.",
    usage: "avatar \@username",
    run: (message, args, users) => {
        const user = message.mentions.members.first();
        console.log(message.mentions)
        if (!user) return message.channel.send("Please specify a user!")
        const avatarEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
            .setColor(0x333333)
            .setAuthor(user.username)
            .setImage(user.avatarURL);
        message.channel.send(avatarEmbed);
    }
}

thats the command file

[earnest phoenix]

what is users ?

but nvm

show me ur message.js event

[charred geyser]

the whole thing?

[earnest phoenix]

just the message event

client.on("message") or some thing like that

[charred geyser]

i have it like modules in an events folder

[earnest phoenix]

yes taht file

[charred geyser]

this is the main bit

[earnest phoenix]

message.js

[charred geyser]

    const prefix = settings.prefix;

    if (!message.guild) return;
    if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return;
    
    if (!message.member) message.member = await message.guild.fetchMember (message);

    const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);
    const cmd = args.shift().toLowerCase();
    
    if (cmd.length === 0) return;
    
    let command = client.commands.get(cmd);
    if (!command) command = client.commands.get(client.aliases.get(cmd));
    
    if (command)
        command.run(client, message, args);

the rest is just for mongodb

[earnest phoenix]

bruh

command.run(client, message, args)

so it will be

run : async(client, message,args) => {}

@charred geyser ^^^

._.

[charred geyser]

in the command?

[earnest phoenix]

in ur avatar command

[charred geyser]

yea

=> {*

yeah

ok

let me test

[earnest phoenix]

ok

[charred geyser]

oh shit

ok so it returned

but it isn't actually getting the user

[earnest phoenix]

btw this is wrong

    if (!message.member) message.member = await message.guild.fetchMember (message);

[charred geyser]

Meow

/catgirl

[charred geyser]

oh

okay

[marsh lava]

so i set up my bot on heroku but after about 5 minutes it just stops

w h a t

[charred geyser]

whats the error?

like when it shuts down

[proven lantern]

heroku just shuts down after no actvity

[marsh lava]

well is there a way to keep it online even if there is no activity

[charred geyser]

v<@&751140053933228104>

[opal plank]

without breaking Tos? No

[charred geyser]

oops

lol

[marsh lava]

that sucks

[proven lantern]

listening to bot messages requires a constant socket connection

[charred geyser]

anyone know how to get a users avatar and username

in an embed

[opal plank]

actually

wait

i dont think heroku needs uptimers

only glitch

i already asked them, glitch and rep.l before to once and for all confirm wether discord bots are allowed on their platform

[misty sigil]

who is erwin

[opal plank]

Not me for sure

[charred geyser]

.setAuthor(user.username)
.setImage(user.displayAvatarURL);

[misty sigil]

and why are you in their emails

you aren't erwin

[opal plank]

#HAxxd

[charred geyser]

lol

[marsh lava]

after displayavatarurl u need to put ()

[charred geyser]

and username?

[marsh lava]

uh

[opal plank]

avatarURL is a method

not a property

[marsh lava]

depeneds on who u want the name of

[charred geyser]

const user = message.mentions.members.first();

thats user

[opal plank]

though i have a feeling i said that before and there was one instance in v11 where it had an avatarURL property in it

[marsh lava]

then user.username

i think

[charred geyser]

but user.username gives undefined

[steep shale]

So to change my bot’s background pic is this how you do the html?

[marsh lava]

are u mentioning a user

in the message

[charred geyser]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

curly bracket at the end

change it for a normal bracker

[charred geyser]

tha command is %avatar @granite pagoda

[steep shale]

It goes ...url("url-link"; and then the }

[earnest phoenix]

show the full code

[charred geyser]

of the entire module or just what is run

[earnest phoenix]

do this

<style>
body{
background-image: url('HERE');
}
</style>

[steep shale]

Oh I forgot the )

<html>
  <style>
    body{
    background-image: url("https://images.app.goo.gl/56jXM17CEnESWa927);
    
    }
</style>```

Like that then?

oh sht forgot the "

[earnest phoenix]

add the "

yyhhy

[steep shale]

<html>
  <style>
    body{
    background-image: url("https://images.app.goo.gl/56jXM17CEnESWa927");

[earnest phoenix]

show me the full html file

because idk if u have added
