is it possible to hack a discord bot through the github if the github is connected to a webhook connected into the main support server?
(don't worry, i'm just asking)
dire obsidian
Hmmmm
faint prism
invite is undefined
dire obsidian
Uuu auger green name, congrats
sweet ruin
but shouldnt the try catch define invite as null?
split hazel
@near veldt if the webhook URL is visible when you access the webhook page then yes (if someone with admin perms on the repo has malicious intent) other than that no
faint prism
That isn't defining it I don't think lol
faint prism
Null IS undefined iirc
split hazel
but anyways its a webhook
near veldt
oh
split hazel
worse they can do is send some nasty messages or everyone mention
you can always revoke it

as soon as i added my webhook on my public github, my bot got hacked and spam dmed everyone

you probably did something else

how do i have settings take a variable so instead of settings.prefix for example i can do settings . (variable key)
opaque hawk
Does anybody else use repl.it to host their bots and has their bot up 24/7
If so, do you use runkit for it?
fallow steppe
What can I eval in djs to make the bot react to a specific message?
opaque hawk
Like react to a message with a certain word or phrase?
worthy glacier
no, usually i would do settings.prefix i want to replace prefix with any variable
sudden geyser
Bracket notation looks like this: obj["somekey"]. It's the equivalent of obj.somekey
fallow steppe
Like react to a message with a certain word or phrase?
@opaque hawk no, a certain message with the id
worthy glacier
ooh thank you
sudden geyser
Like it can't dynamically look at the name of the variable (not the value) and use that, but a string should be good enough.
sharp thicket
Hi
opaque hawk
@opaque hawk no, a certain message with the id
@fallow steppe Afaik, since every message has a unique ID, as with everything else in Discord, so the only way that you could really have the bot react to the message is it being like a verification/announcement message that wont move out of sight for a while, or userbot your bot, which is against ToS
fallow steppe
I dont think you got it
opaque hawk
elaborate
fallow steppe
I want to eval something that makes my bot react with "β€οΈ" in a message I specify
opaque hawk
So you have the message link for the message you want to react to? I, personally, haven't dabbled with reactions, but the djs guidebook will have everything reactions
earnest phoenix
it's just a single PUT request to /:channelid/:messageid/reactions
fallow steppe
I have the id of that message
earnest phoenix
all you need is the channel id and the message id
opaque hawk
my message ID is this: 753407058375868417
fallow steppe
Yes
earnest phoenix
yes you also need the channel id, or the channel object
fallow steppe
That
opaque hawk
so that this full message ID would be something like 272764566411149314/753407232716177438
earnest phoenix
a message id is a message id, a channel id is a channel id
fallow steppe
So when I eval my bot to say something in a channel it's client.channels.cache.get("id").send("Hi")
I want to know what to eval so it reacts to a message I specify with id with a heart
opaque hawk
Id rather use an eval command or hook it up with a command, like so: message.channel.send("message");
fallow steppe
Ok
earnest phoenix
keep in mind that fetch is a promise
opaque hawk
I like an eval command, The code is simple (excuse the TypeScript): ```ts
import { Message } from "discord.js";
import { inspect } from "util";
export const name = "eval";
export const usage = "eval <expression>";
export const description =
"Evaluates a JavaScript expressions and returns the result";
export const permissions = "developer";
export const dev = true;
export async function execute(message: Message, args: string[]) {
const client = message.client;
try {
const result = await eval(message.content.slice(process.env.PREFIX!.length + 4));
message.channel.send("TRIPLE_BACKTICjs\n" + inspect(result) + "\nTRIPLE_BACKTIC");
} catch (e) {
message.channel.send("TRIPLE_BACKTIC" + e + "TRIPLE_BACKTIC");
}
}```
uhh
except replace the TRIPLE_BACKTICs with three backtics
So in my case, I could go "r!eval 1 + 1" and it would return the following: js 2
midnight blaze
.then(messages => (message.author.id=="570646739145457685"&&message.content.startsWith("test"))?messages.size:console.log("null"))
.catch(console.error)
what is wrong with this?
earnest phoenix
you tell me
opaque hawk
then why is something wrong with it
midnight blaze
I dont know. Well, ok, the syntax is fine then
opaque hawk
ok
midnight blaze
that is a typo, It didnt work with messages
sry for that
when I write it down here 
meh, I should have choosen a different variable
π¦ I am eval it in the testing-1 and yeah, doesnt work π€·ββοΈ well anyway

does anyone know how this could be the case? out of nowhere, my bot begins receiving a ridiculous amount of data and then somehow also starts sending a ridiculous ton of data. this leads to my bot getting ratelimited like immediately
i am logging and monitoring the command usage and there are no abnormal commands being run, and there arent any self bots spamming commands either. i have a lot of cooldowns in place to prevent command spam so i dont think its an issue with people spamming commands. pretty much everything looks completely normal from a usage standpoint; nobody is entering any suspicious commands or anything like that
this amount of bytes being received and sent is insane (went from sending 10k bytes/5 min to literally 3 million/5 min). does anyone have a hunch as to why this may be?

talkedRecently.add(message.author.id);
setTimeout(() => {
talkedRecently.delete(message.author.id);
}, 86400000);
}
break;
so in here i use this as a cooldown
is there any way i can restrict it to only the server
cuz the cooldown applies everywhere like even if he didnt collect the daily reward in another server
sudden geyser
If you want to make it simple, add to the talkedRecently set/collection/whatever the guild ID and the user ID. That way, you can restrict it to a guild by user.
For example: js talkedRecently.add(`${guildID}-${userID}`); // ... if (talkedRecently.has(`${guildID}-${userID}`)) { // do stuff }
earnest phoenix
is there any way i can restrict it to only the server
@vale garden by changing the way you store the cooldown
use discord.js collections not arrays
then follow what Lite said to store both the guild id and user id
sudden geyser
sets are fine
sudden geyser
explain pls
hazy sparrow
const taggedMember = message.mentions.members.first()
message.channel.send(`${taggedMember.id}`) // this works fine but
message.channel.send(`${taggedMember.username}`) // this doesesnt work
taggedMember is a member object
you need to go the user property of that member object to see username, tag etc
taggedMember.user.username
hazy sparrow
but how do i view how much time is left before removing it from the map?
like You can't claim your daily yet! you have to wait x how do i view x?
sudden geyser
Do you mean you want to see how much time (in ms) is left
earnest phoenix
store user id with the time that the cooldown will expire
sudden geyser
Because the timeout should still be started like starwoman said
earnest phoenix
For example
hazy sparrow
Do you mean you want to see how much time (in ms) is left
@sudden geyser yup
earnest phoenix
"28367282" : time24hourfromnow
And you can check if the time passed that
If passed or equal then cooldown ended
sudden geyser
Store when the user hit the ratelimit. To get the time since, minus the current date in ms by the time the user hit the rate limit.
earnest phoenix
And delete the user from data
hazy sparrow
wait will the cooldown reset if my bot stopped/gets a error for a sec?
earnest phoenix
Yes
Unless you store it in db
Which is not recommended
Unless its daily weekly command
hazy sparrow
yup im trying to make a daily command
earnest phoenix
Daily/weekly should be stored in db
hazy sparrow
with quick.db (for now)
earnest phoenix
Other than that just json data

You can use <User>.fetchFlags() which returns a promise resolving to an instance of UserFlags.
You can't see all badges the user has (for example, nitro).

lets say i have a command that can take about 1.5 seconds to complete before it returns a response (a rank card). would you consider this long enough to have some kind of indicator that its working, and what would you use?
im thinking just a simple text only message 'Please wait...' thats deleted once it uploads the rank card
but im also on the fence, that 1.5 seconds isnt even long enough to need it
that 1.5 seconds includes lag and time taken to upload the image
from when i issue the command
i timed mee6's rank cards and they take 2.7 seconds, on average, but mee6 has a lot more servers to process requests for.
(it doesnt have any kind of progress indicator or 'im working' notice)
nimble kiln
For something like that you could use the typing indicator
green kestrel
hmm, great idea
tight plinth
that could be a bad idea as it could create infinite typing scenarios if it restarts
i would consider a please wait message
tight plinth
if the bot restarts while it's generating the card
green kestrel
but you dont turn typing indiactors off manually
they auto turn off after 30 secs?
tight plinth
hm
green kestrel
typing indicator works great, thanks @nimble kiln π
nimble kiln
Nice π
green kestrel
hmm, actually, just realised it doesnt even matter if the bot restarts
rank cards are genered by my REST API with the API server itself sending the discord calls
so if the bot requests the tb-api make a rank card, it'll generally complete even if the bot crashes or restarts while waiting for it
green kestrel
theyre auto cancelled after 30 secs it seems, i read that somewhere, or on delivery of the next message
nimble kiln
oh ok, then it shouldnt matter anyway π

green kestrel
my bot is split into two parts, a backend http api and a frontend C++ bot, generally the frontend bot just passes commands to the backend api, so restarting the frontend would still complete the request

earnest phoenix
var channel = args[0].toString();is a really terrible way to check if a channel is mentioned
You dunno ifargs[0].toString();will always be a channel mention
Message.mentions.channels returns a Collection
You can do .first() on the collection to get the first mentioned channel (which will probably be the channel which the guy wants to send the message to)
args[0].toString();bruhString.split();does not return an array inside an array soargs[0]will probably be a string.

Database
@quartz kindle fuck no
databases are permanent
earnest phoenix
- get a map
- check if the user id who ran the command is in the map, if yes, return
- add the user id of the user who ran the command to the map
- set a timeout, which will delete the user id of the original runner from the map once expired
dont switch 2 and 3
else it will break
hazy sparrow
@earnest phoenix how do i get like how much time is remaining before it will remove it from the map?
Like you cant claim your hourly yet, you have to wait x

setTimeout(()=>{
// remove user from map

Person uses command
Store timestamp in db
Person uses command again, check if exisys in db, if it does check how long ago the timestamp is from, if its too soon, dont run, else run and update the timestamp

figure some stuff out on your own

Yup
quartz kindle
And yoi know how to check if data exists right?

So store the timestamp when the person used the command: Date.now()
Then when the person uses it again, get the stored timestamp and compare it with the current one
Date.now() - storedTimestamp

@earnest phoenix no it's that bow pro almost NEVER tries to do anything on his own
hazy sparrow
Like date.now() + 5000 = date.now() + 5 seconds
earnest phoenix
lemme type the whole messy way i do cooldowns
quartz kindle
Yes, but you dont need to add time to it
hazy sparrow
So lemme type out hiw the whole thing will be and tell me if im wrong
Wait hold on
quik.db can store dates?
@earnest phoenix no it's that bow pro almost NEVER tries to do anything on his own
@earnest phoenix i made a hourly command wihout the actual hourly and they can use it without the hourly cooldown
earnest phoenix
dates always have their unix timestamp anyways
you can store that
// start of the bot-code.js
var cooldowns = {
nameOfCommand: [] // initialized on startup so people don't get stuck in infinite cooldowns
}
// when the command happens
case "nameofcommand":
if (cooldowns // original object
.nameOfCommand // returns an array
.includes( // Array.includes()
Message.author.id // Message is a discord.js class
)) {return Message.reply("You're on cooldown man!");}
else if (!cooldowns.nameOfCommand.includes(Message.author.id)) {
// do the command shit
// finally put the user's ID in the array
cooldowns.nameOfCommand.push(Message.author.id); // pushes the user id to the Array
// remove the cooldown after X milliseconds
setTimeout(() => {
let index = cooldowns.nameOfCommand.indexOf(Message.author.id);
cooldowns.nameOfCommand.splice(index, 1);
});
}
thats a nice template
@hazy sparrow i just typed a hell big blocck of code
now please learn to do some stuff on your own
earnest phoenix
thats enough
wdym
hazy sparrow
Can quick.db store dates
earnest phoenix
yeah
hazy sparrow
Ok great
earnest phoenix
dates always have their unix timestamp anyways
@earnest phoenix
it literally stores data
that's it
and DON'T use databases for storing cooldowns
hazy sparrow
Wot
earnest phoenix
bot goes offline => the cooldown has not been reset in your database => bot comes back online => user is forever stuck on cooldown
while by using arrays inside the code if your bot goes down the whole cooldown array is removed from RAM
slender thistle
.save(timestampOrDateObject)
on(message, {
getDb(message.author.id)
if (date.now >= timestampIndb)
{
runCommand()
}
})
quartz kindle
Databases are required for long cooldowns, like hourly or daily commands
You dont need a db for a short cooldown like 5 seconds
earnest phoenix
in case of downtime, short term cooldowns are going to expire anyways by the time you boot back up, so losing the data isn't a big deal
queen osprey
you can use a Collection or a Map
earnest phoenix
@slender thistle @quartz kindle he still doesn't know how databases shit work so he'll probably mess up
that's why i recommended arrays
wait
quartz kindle
But he wants an hourly cooldown, he needs a db
thick gull
terrible idea
earnest phoenix
*cooldowns object with arrays for every command
earnest phoenix
quick.db takes more space to store stuff than normally storing stuff in RAM
thick gull
your ram will go really high
earnest phoenix
your bot restarts = no more cooldown
@thick gull that's perfectly fine bruh
quartz kindle
Not for hourly commabds
thick gull
not for like hourly or daily commands
earnest phoenix
k
thick gull
some bots restart hourly afaik
queen osprey
caching in Redis is a good option or a NoSQL database
earnest phoenix
i don't even have a daily or hourly command so
thick gull
itβs just better to store it somewhere
earnest phoenix
short term cooldowns are fine with just being stored in memory
long term cooldowns are to be stored in a database
thick gull

how can we see where was a uncaught expressio caught in node
like where it occured
earnest phoenix
uhhh

plz help because it said me node --trace-uncaught but it just says this

Can we Quote a text in a embed if yes then how?
queen osprey
use the unhandledRejection event in process
quartz kindle
Cannot send messages to this user?
queen osprey
should give the full stack trace
delicate shore
Cannot send messages to this user?
maybe his dms are closed
But my bot restarts due to it
I just wanna stop it from restarting
quartz kindle
Add a catch to your dm commands
delicate shore
I do
delicate shore
try{
}catch(err){
bot.channels.cache.find('id').then(channel =>{
channel.send(`Could not dm a person because`)
})
}```oh
delicate shore
Oh
ok
so
Try catch only works if you await it
It says await only available in async
even tho all the event is in async

Did you remove the

delicate shore
no (coz i am dumb)

just because of the invisible bar
delicate shore
so i thought it was off-topic
i thought u said does having invisible fuck with PILLOW?
drifting wedge
lol

drifting wedge
and this is the base
basicly the bottom 2 are the base
the second one is it with the invisible bar
and it gives that wierd one
and the last one is it, with a normal bar
quartz kindle
So if you use the one with a transparent part, the colors get fucked up?
drifting wedge
yea
pale vessel
are you using canvacord's assets in PIL?
drifting wedge
wdym
pale vessel
never mind then
drifting wedge
i got the bar from a yt vid
that was canvacord
but i didnt get any code form it
pale vessel
yeah
drifting wedge
just the rank card
pale vessel
yes but you're using it in PIL right?
drifting wedge
PILLOW
pale vessel
a fork sure
drifting wedge
PIL is like 10 yrs old

quartz kindle
Are you using any kind of conversion in your code?
drifting wedge
no
quartz kindle
Try converting it to rgba
drifting wedge
nothing else?
quartz kindle
But you said your issue is the image, not the text
drifting wedge
yes
earnest phoenix
i didnt know eval whas build in but now i do
drifting wedge
so the text should be fine?
earnest phoenix
quartz kindle
Try fixing the image first
drifting wedge
ok
quartz kindle
Deal with the text later
quartz kindle
@drifting wedge thats literaly trying to convert the text "rankcard12.png" lol

sorry just woke up, im trying to ask if its possible that the voting webhook runs into an issue at some point that leads to it spamming the webhook with invalid votes or something
earnest phoenix
not really

earnest phoenix
@delicate shore #general-int
there were recently some issues with the webhooks, not sure if that's what it was
near ether
one of my friends told me my bot can get temp-banned from webhook spam and the only one i use is top.gg's
earnest phoenix
how would that even happen lol
earnest phoenix
the communication is directly between you and top.gg
there's no discord involved
delicate shore
@delicate shore #general-int
@earnest phoenix
Tbh I can go to #general instead of general 2
near ether
yes but upon receiving the vote my bot dms the user
delicate shore
one of my friends told me my bot can get temp-banned from webhook spam and the only one i use is top.gg's
@near ether
Your friend is probably stupid then
That wont happen
My bot also DMS a user

@hazy sparrow try:
if (args[1] < 0)
instead of:
if (!args[0] > 0)
fickle sapphire
ehm
restive furnace
or if (!args[0]) will just work lol
hazy sparrow
yea i thought both were same
restive furnace
no they aren't.
hazy sparrow
they do the same thing
drifting wedge
can i have like half cogs?
like a cog thing, but that acts like a main file thing?
restive furnace
@hazy sparrow nope, !variable checks for every nullable value, while variable < 0 just checks if the value of the variable is less than zero.
not the length.
hazy sparrow
you can just remove the line if (!args > 0)
@fickle sapphire what
restive furnace
no if he doesn't want undefined behaviour
fickle sapphire
look some lines above
it already says: if( args > 0)
so if its not the command wont execute
hazy sparrow
what
hazy sparrow
i want something else to be execute if that doesesnt execute?
restive furnace
let something = null;

@hazy sparrow
Test this
hazy sparrow
okay hold on
restive furnace
fickle sapphire
You first detect if something is there and then again detecting if something isn't its easier to use else
This is how that works:
if (something){
//code
} else {
//code
}
that's so many unnecessary database calls
restive furnace
^^
hazy sparrow
but isnt
if(thing){
}
if(second thing) {
}
also the same?
restive furnace
no
earnest phoenix
you should learn the language you're working with
hell, this isn't even language basics
it's logic gates
the basic of basic
fickle sapphire
if(something) {
} else if (something else) {

how do you select a space
@hazy sparrow you select it like normal text?
strong fractal
I said that I am new
strong fractal
For example
earnest phoenix
@strong fractal you have bot developer role and you're saying you're new that can only mean you use BotGhost
hazy sparrow
also why do you need to select just the space
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
time to do another one of my idling sessions
takes deep breath

You're on discord, why did you take a picture of it instead of a screenshot

Finally :D
earnest phoenix
How do I select between letters
@strong fractal there is no space bruh
strong fractal
Is it possible?
hazy sparrow
just click on the dead center of it
earnest phoenix
why are you ignoring what i said
Is it possible?
@strong fractal only if there is abetween the letters
earnest phoenix
how can i later images with pillow?
@drifting wedge your pillow is a computer program
strong fractal
hazy sparrow
or @strong fractal clikc the letter to the right of it and click the left arrow key
drifting wedge
@drifting wedge your pillow is a computer program
@earnest phoenix pillow as in pil
earnest phoenix
again, why are you ignoring what i said
hazy sparrow
and read mine too
faint prism
you're literally in INSERT mode
earnest phoenix
yeah
strong fractal
What is insert mode?
faint prism
press the [Insert] key on your keyboard
earnest phoenix

Bruh
earnest phoenix
click the button again not gonna help you said i'm a kid
earnest phoenix
you don't have to tell us
strong fractal
i am so dump
hazy sparrow
XD
strong fractal
Thx guys
Btw
I still donβt understand
Why it doesnβt affect like visual studio code, browsers? This insert mode
faint prism
Consider an intro to computers class, maybe at a public library.
That should explain the behavior
strong fractal
It only affects my visual studio
earnest phoenix
@strong fractal now you're actually coming off as a cringe post
that's a dumb question
hazy sparrow
@strong fractal you can for example if you want to click on the center of bp just click on p and press the left arrow key
earnest phoenix
the same answer why the same key doesn't unlock all doors
different implementation
strong fractal
@earnest phoenix well visual studio code and visual studio are kinda same
hazy sparrow
@earnest phoenix stop aaaa
strong fractal
Well they are not
