development

[earnest phoenix]

have you tried not copypasting

and instead you know

[umbral zealot]

Before you make a Discord Bot, you should have a good understanding of JavaScript. This means you should have a basic understanding of the following topics:

• proper syntax
• debuging code
• basic features (vars, arrays, objects, functions)
• read and understand docs
• nodejs module system

As much as we'd like to assist everyone with making their bots, we rarely have the time and/or patience to handhold beginners through learning javascript. We highly recommend understanding the basics before trying to make bots, which use advanced programming concepts.

Here are good resources to learn both Javascript and NodeJS:

Javascriptinfo: https://javascript.info/
Codecademy: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript
FreeCodeCamp: https://www.freecodecamp.org/
Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/javascript-essentials/
Eloquent JavaScript, free book: http://eloquentjavascript.net/
You-Dont-Know-JS: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS
NodeSchool: https://nodeschool.io/
CodeSchool: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/real-time-web-with-node-js
Evie's Accelerated JS: https://js.evie.dev/

Please take a couple of weeks/months to get acquainted with the language before trying to make bots!

ok

thanks

[copper cradle]

why do people even try to start a proyect without knowing the language

[earnest phoenix]

;W;

[umbral zealot]

Because they think it's easy.

[earnest phoenix]

you clearly don't

kk

[umbral zealot]

If you don't know how to google for simple questions, it's gonna be hard being a dev

because "python discord bot" would 100% show you a python library

[copper cradle]

they're gone

[sudden geyser]

why do people even try to start a proyect without knowing the language
@copper cradle because they think it'll be fun but it's more like submitting an application but not knowing the conditions and requirements

[copper cradle]

lmao

[sudden geyser]

like come on, those tv shows where the main character signs a contract without reading any of it should be enough

[earnest phoenix]

i like to think of it as mommy dependency

"mommy do it for me" shows when someone's a help vampire

[umbral zealot]

Tylers are the worst

Don't be a Tyler.
A Tyler: "Karen's kid, the child that's been indulged his whole life, pampered, doesn't know the meaning of 'no' and has a hard time learning anything because they've always been spoonfed from birth."
Typical "Tyler" Behaviour includes:

• "But I just need help with this one thing"
• "I don't have time to learn"
• "I'm just following a tutorial, and it doesn't work when I copy the code"
• "What do you mean I need to learn JS? I know JS, I've been doing it for 10 minutes!"

[sudden geyser]

The real issue with stuff like youtube videos and guides on how to build bots without knowing the language is it teaches you to write code in only one way.

[copper cradle]

yes

[faint prism]

Tyler
I just call them skids

[umbral zealot]

those are a different breed 😛

[copper cradle]

idk

[faint prism]

Eh, I mean it's still copying/using other peoples code

Granted, it's more of a haxzor term

[last bloom]

Does anyone know how to use a bot to block a specific word from being used in a server?

[faint prism]

how to use a bot
@last bloom I'm sure the person who made it has a help command

[earnest phoenix]

Check if the content includes that word

don't bother with word filters

they're never effective (on discord)

(this statement excludes ML magic)

[copper cradle]

[cinder patio]

I've got this regex to match anything after @ and until it hits an empty space, /@(.([^\s]+)*)/, however, I don't want /@(.([^\s]+)*)/.test("@somestring ") to return true, because there are empty spaces following the mention

[copper cradle]

$

[cinder patio]

I also don't want to match it if there are empty spaces after

[copper cradle]

then I'm not sure

[cinder patio]

I could use test first to check if it returns true, and then use match

But that's kinda inefficient

[earnest phoenix]

@ivory nimbus LOL

ik 23 programming languages

nobody asked

[violet mesa]

how do i change bot status to "watching (amount of servers the bot is in)"???

[earnest phoenix]

nobody asked
@earnest phoenix mad

😦

[violet mesa]

we didnt ask but if no one would of asked ever anything there would of never been convos

so thats how convo's work

[violet mesa]

py is ok

html isnt a coding lang

and

[trim saddle]

@earnest phoenix wdyn html is ass

[violet mesa]

js sucks

[trim saddle]

the internet wouldn't exist with html

[earnest phoenix]

Pascal Script best

[violet mesa]

it would

[trim saddle]

@violet mesa no language sucks, except lua

[earnest phoenix]

WDYM

[violet mesa]

just with dif lang

[earnest phoenix]

U GOT LIKE 132 program languages

[flint yew]

Why top.gg not sending who voted is there something wrong or what xd I am sure added the correct api

[earnest phoenix]

actually scratch the last link i sent, this is what you need instead https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/methods/built-in/len

the internet wouldn't exist with html
@trim saddle LOL

its still ass mg

[valid frigate]

text/plain moment

[earnest phoenix]

the internet wouldn't exist with html
@trim saddle im taking a guess you never took CS and never learned about the creation of the web

[trim saddle]

well i mean

the internet would exist

[delicate zephyr]

i got told to look here?

[earnest phoenix]

end of this year ill know atleast 40 programming languages

[violet mesa]

cs and html arnt code langs just saying

[earnest phoenix]

CS is a class

lol

[violet mesa]

true

[earnest phoenix]

nobody ever implied it's a language

[misty sigil]

did you mean: css

[trim saddle]

someone stsrted a language war about html comparing it to py and js

[earnest phoenix]

Pascal Script is best

[delicate zephyr]

tell them to read the rules

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[violet mesa]

did you mean: css
true aswell but no

[misty sigil]

someone stsrted a language war about html comparing it to py and js
@trim saddle dude be fuckin comparing a clock to a computer

or some shit idk

[thick gull]

stop throwing a fit over programmer preference

[earnest phoenix]

links do answer your questions because they're links to docs which explain what you need to do very well

[misty sigil]

cry literally answered you

links do answer your questions because they’re links to docs which explain what you need to do very well
@earnest phoenix THIS

[violet mesa]

yes but i said im to dumb to understand

;-;

[earnest phoenix]

that's a you problem

[violet mesa]

pls just say what i need to type ;-;

[misty sigil]

you aren’t a programmer until you can read docs imo

pls just say what i need to type ;-;
@violet mesa

[violet mesa]

ok

i shall now read

;-;

i dont like reading

i only read stackoverflow

[earnest phoenix]

and i don't like cleaning but yet i have to

sucks to be alive

[misty sigil]

yea

[violet mesa]

game = discord.Game("with the API")
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=game)

if i change discord.Game to discord.Watch work?

[earnest phoenix]

read the text under shiny colorful code blocks

[drifting wedge]

So I got a domain and using cpanel

How do I like link the domain to the website?

Like do I use cloud flare?

[misty sigil]

Yea

you don’t have to

[drifting wedge]

I tried

[misty sigil]

but I recommend it saved my ass once

[drifting wedge]

What else can I use?

[misty sigil]

Just link it

[drifting wedge]

but I recommend it saved my ass once
@misty sigil how?

[misty sigil]

DDoSed

[drifting wedge]

Like I’ve been trying for days

[autumn aspen]

lol guys I made a suggestion channel

[drifting wedge]

Like for example

[misty sigil]

Change the ns on your domain

[drifting wedge]

I put the cloud flare and it works

But on my website

What domain do I make it?

[opal plank]

anything that isnt xyz is fair game

[misty sigil]

[opal plank]

ive personally encountered quite a few websites that dont accept xyz

[drifting wedge]

anything that isnt xyz is fair game
@opal plank no like I have the domain

[opal plank]

lots of scam companies use them due to price

[misty sigil]

fuck scam companies then

[drifting wedge]

Just like in my website, what domain do I put it as to work with cloud flare?

[opal plank]

where is the main server hosted at?

wdym what domain?

[drifting wedge]

Do I put like the domain I bought?

[opal plank]

its 1 domain that fowards traffic to one ip

thats it

domain => couldflare protection/ray scan => ip

thats the general gist

im assuming you using cloudflare

im a bit drunk and didnt bother reading the rest

[violet mesa]

sorry to interapt your stuff
@earnest phoenix what am i suppose to do with len()

i know about len

[earnest phoenix]

it's for counting your guilds

[violet mesa]

is the amount of servers a list?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[violet mesa]

uh ok

whats the lists name

[earnest phoenix]

i sent you the link to the docs

[violet mesa]

oh

didnt see

1 sec

[drowsy kite]

how do i make a command that bot will go to internet and share the info

[sudden geyser]

make an http request. what language are you using

[earnest phoenix]

hack into the mainframe.

[violet mesa]

lol

[sudden geyser]

free internet

[earnest phoenix]

https://hackertyper.net/

[violet mesa]

take code for google and use the search engine to search it

now this is big brain time

sense

loll

what lang is that suppose to be

[faint prism]

C

[earnest phoenix]

it's the linux kernel src i think

[violet mesa]

uh

thats why it makes no sense

lmaoooo

[faint prism]

It's C lang though

Since it was meant to be portable 🙂

[violet mesa]

thats why it makes no sense
my point still stands

[sudden geyser]

good ol c minor

you can learn c eventually

[violet mesa]

eventually

[drifting wedge]

So a friend is hosting the site

And he sent me some name servers

[light vortex]

How i can do my bot leave servers with -5 users in discord.js?

With eval command

[drifting wedge]

I’m using the GitHub student student domain

Do I link it to his name servers?

[earnest phoenix]

how do i make it so it tells me only the amount of humans in the discord

ive been trying to look for it

How i can do my bot leave servers with -5 users in discord.js?
@light vortex https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client?scrollTo=guilds
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildManager?scrollTo=cache
use filter() on the cache property to filter out guilds which have their memberCount property less than 5 and then you can just call leave() (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=leave) on the guilds that are left in the filtered array

how do i make it so it tells me only the amount of humans in the discord
@earnest phoenix in what library

discord.js

[light vortex]

@earnest phoenix i still dont know, can you help a little more please?

[violet mesa]

@earnest phoenix i cant find the name of the thingy

cry is the smort boi/girl

no asuming genders

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix , you first need to download all members
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=members
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMemberManager?scrollTo=fetch (see the first example)
once that promise finishes you can then filter the cache property (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMemberManager?scrollTo=cache) for members that aren't bots
(https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMember?scrollTo=user https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/User?scrollTo=bot)

@earnest phoenix i still dont know, can you help a little more please?
@light vortex what do you not understand

@earnest phoenix i cant find the name of the thingy
@violet mesa
what thingy

oh

guilds

[violet mesa]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.guilds

[light vortex]

i found this from a friend

[violet mesa]

the name of amount of server list

thx!

[earnest phoenix]

@light vortex i asked you what do you not understand, not what you found

[light vortex]

I dont understand where do i put the guild members needed to leave

[earnest phoenix]

i explained it

re-read my message

[light vortex]

I wanna have code but

Uh

[misty sigil]

much?

god damn just learn to read docs

i do it in my free time

[light vortex]

Its more hard for me in mobile

Since i Lost my pc

[violet mesa]

there is only message emoji guild abc.PrivateChannel VoiceProtocol

[earnest phoenix]

Mobile talk?

i do it in my free time :KEK:
@misty sigil i thought i was the only one lol, i like to scroll through material-ui docs to see what i could implement into my app next

Looking through docs is kinda fun when bored

[violet mesa]

there is only message emoji guild abc.PrivateChannel VoiceProtocol
@earnest phoenix pls

[valid frigate]

what is the difference between iana and icann

[earnest phoenix]

@violet mesa i understood none of that

[violet mesa]

i didnt find the name of the amount of servers list

thingy

[earnest phoenix]

i literally sent the url to it?

you use len on it to get the amount

[light vortex]

This is my first time asking for codes

Lmao

[earnest phoenix]

good for you

[violet mesa]

there is only message emoji guild abc.PrivateChannel VoiceProtocol
@violet mesa in the link u sent me i see only these things

[earnest phoenix]

i cringe everytime someone says "codes"

[violet mesa]

lol

[light vortex]

codes

[earnest phoenix]

@violet mesa you don't even need to open the url to understand what you need to do

the hrefs have the class where the prop is located in

[violet mesa]

discord.Client.guilds?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[violet mesa]

OMG

ok

bruh

[thick gull]

i cringe everytime someone says "codes"
@earnest phoenix i do codes for funs

i do it in my free time
@misty sigil stop exposing me

i was liter ally looking at docs rather than doing homework

[violet mesa]

@earnest phoenix where do i put it btw like in a @bot.command or like a bot.event

[earnest phoenix]

what is it in this context

#topgg-api

ok then

[violet mesa]

by it i mean

game = discord.Game("on")
await client.change_presence(status=len(discord.Client.guilds), activity=game)

[sonic lodge]

i have a function that will update a user's entry in my bot's mysql database; it looks like this

return this.query(`UPDATE ${table} SET ${property} = '${value}' WHERE id = '${id}'`).then(function(results) {
    if (results.affectedRows === 0) {
        return self.query(`INSERT INTO ${table} (id, ${property}) VALUES ('${id}', '${value}')`);
    } else {
        return results;
    }
});```
even with the `results.affectedRows === 0` check in place, i keep getting random "duplicate key error"s on the next line? shouldn't that not happen

[earnest phoenix]

i mean, put it wherever you want @violet mesa

put it where you want it to change the activity

[violet mesa]

i get an error

it says

that i cant put it(it = to the same thing that it did last time) outside of a function

[valid frigate]

bruh

[sonic lodge]

you can only use it inside a function

*an async function

[earnest phoenix]

async* function

[violet mesa]

um

um

[earnest phoenix]

google your error and you're going to find out why you're getting it

[violet mesa]

should i put it in a ```py
@bot.event
async def on_start():
game = discord.Game("on")
await client.change_presence(status=len(discord.Client.guilds), activity=game)

like that

[earnest phoenix]

i don't know python, try it and see

[violet mesa]

okie

brb

i still cant use #commands sooo

i have to use my server

nope it dont work

1 sec

i bet its not on_start

me read logs

@celest crest why is ur name in hebrew and שלום

lol

[celest crest]

Somebody can give me reaction roles code on java script?

@celest crest why is ur name in hebrew and שלום
@violet mesa Because i want

[sonic lodge]

we don't do spoonfeeding here

[violet mesa]

ok

[thick gull]

bad

[celest crest]

🍴

[sonic lodge]

has someone made the "we don't do that here" meme with "spoonfeeding"

[thick gull]

discord out here sending the wrong emotes

no spoonfeed

[violet mesa]

@earnest phoenix its on_redy

lol

ready

[celest crest]

Somebody can give me reaction roles code on java script?

@violet mesa i thought so but i wasn't sure so i didn't say anything lol

[violet mesa]

lol

le fork

[earnest phoenix]

discord.Client is your instance of the client

not straight up discord.Client

[slender thistle]

lalala you need an instance of that class and not the class itself

[violet mesa]

oh

llol

umm

idk what the frick that means

lol

as i saied im stoopid

[slender thistle]

what variable is your bot object stored under

[violet mesa]

bot

do i use bot

[earnest phoenix]

OOP basics

[slender thistle]

yes

[violet mesa]

lol

ok

[bitter geode]

Why is my bot reporting this error

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: 503 Backend fetch failed

[earnest phoenix]

5xx errors aren't your fault

[slender thistle]

Why is the API you are using reporting that error

[violet mesa]

sorry im just stoopid

[earnest phoenix]

if you get 5xx errors the best you can do is just sit and wait (and possibly have a breakdown while doing so, whatever you prefer)

[violet mesa]

mhm

again im stoopid

[slender thistle]

did you do discord.bot.guilds

or just bot.guilds

[earnest phoenix]

look at the start of your line, you're using your client instance already

[slender thistle]

I strongly advise you to go through principles of OOP itself

[violet mesa]

lol

[slender thistle]

uhh

cry

[violet mesa]

i did discord.bot.guilds

[slender thistle]

@bot.event
async def on_start():
    game = discord.Game("on")
    await client.change_presence(status=len(discord.Client.guilds), activity=game)

this tells me two things

actually, three

[violet mesa]

i

no

am

ik

what it tells u

donut

is

[eternal osprey]

hey

[violet mesa]

stoopid

[slender thistle]

either you're using bot and trying to set activity of client or vice versa

[eternal osprey]

how would i make a command that removes a line from a .json file?

[last bloom]

does anyone know if theres a way to edit roles that have already been published?

[eternal osprey]

    fs.writeFileSync("./data.json", [message.channel.id])
  }```

[slender thistle]

and the fact that you have both client and bot defined is sus

[violet mesa]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  game = discord.Game("on")
  await client.change_presence(status=len(discord.bot.guilds), activity=game)
```this is what it looks like now

[earnest phoenix]

stop using json as your database

[eternal osprey]

it is only 1 channel

[slender thistle]

it's bot not discord.bot

use bot not client

[eternal osprey]

for only 1 guild

i mean, what could go wrong.

i am only saving 1 channel id.

like this

but how would i make a command that removes this line for example?

using fs

[umbral zealot]

why not just delete the file

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[violet mesa]

nvm

[eternal osprey]

cuz then it can't save it anymore

[violet mesa]

i fixed

it

thx

[eternal osprey]

i want to !channelset

[slender thistle]

writeFile(filehere, "")

[eternal osprey]

and !removechannel

okay lovely!

[violet mesa]

nvm lol

[earnest phoenix]

oh my god

[violet mesa]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  game = discord.Game("on")
  await bot.change_presence(status=len(discord.bot.guilds), activity=game)

[earnest phoenix]

https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/761321053724475413

[violet mesa]

uh

ok

didnt see the message

[eternal osprey]

also, i have a interval command. How do i actually stop it with a command?

i tried to define a variable to the setinterval

[slender thistle]

P.S. discord.bot gets bot property of the module discord

[eternal osprey]

and then use clearinterval(var)

but it kept on going

[slender thistle]

and you only need a plain variable bot, not a property of anything

[violet mesa]

it wotks now

i think

[earnest phoenix]

consider reading this https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html

it covers what namespaces, classes and class instances (objects) are

[violet mesa]

its says playing on

thats it

[earnest phoenix]

because you set the string to on

[violet mesa]

thats not the prob

[earnest phoenix]

yes it is

[violet mesa]

the prob is that it doesnt say the number

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[violet mesa]

1 sec

[earnest phoenix]

and that's because you set the string to on

[violet mesa]

uh

[earnest phoenix]

re-read the change_presence docs

status is the status of the client, not the string to display

(this https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Status)

[eternal osprey]

  var testing = setInterval(() => {
        generateEmbedFromFeed(args, (embed) => {
          messageToEdit.edit(embed)
        })
      }, 5000);
    }
  }
  if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + 'removefeed')) {
    clearInterval(testing);
    message.channel.send("Interval feed has been stopped!")
  }
  ``` why is this not working guys?

[violet mesa]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  game = discord.Game("on" + len(bot.guilds) + "servers")
  await bot.change_presence(status=len(bot.guilds), activity=game)
``` are u proud of me and mad at me at the same time

?

[earnest phoenix]

pretty much yes

[eternal osprey]

what the fuck @violet mesa

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[violet mesa]

lol

more of the mad side tho

[slender thistle]

dear lord

use f-strings

thank you

[earnest phoenix]

i'm mad because you won't read what you're being told

[slender thistle]

That's an error for string + integer

avoid those by using .format or f-strings, thanks

[violet mesa]

I only read stackover flow

[eternal osprey]

to who are you talking exactly?

[slender thistle]

looks better and less errors and more performant

SO for discord.py is utter shit

[misty sigil]

stackover flow

omg

why not stack overflow

or stackoverflow

[earnest phoenix]

because it's an overflow

[slender thistle]

your mom is memory overflow ngl

[earnest phoenix]

my mom is chrome? :(

[slender thistle]

Truth hurts bro :(

[eternal osprey]

what

but ehh

var testing = setInterval(() => {
        generateEmbedFromFeed(args, (embed) => {
          messageToEdit.edit(embed)
        })
      }, 5000);
    }
  }
  if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + 'removefeed')) {
    clearInterval(testing);
    message.channel.send("Interval feed has been stopped!")
  }

the annoying guy is back

[earnest phoenix]

no, we don't know why it's not working

debug your code

[eternal osprey]

you think that i haven't done that

[earnest phoenix]

not properly, no

[eternal osprey]

no errors or whatsoever.

yeah i have.

[earnest phoenix]

that's a contradictive statement lol, if you had debugged properly you would've found the root of the problem

[slender thistle]

put random console.logs here and there

see what exactly isn't working

[earnest phoenix]

that's like getting the wrong answer in maths and then saying that you did all the steps properly

when you clearly did not, because you got the wrong answer

[slender thistle]

Jokes on you, I get my answers right away

[earnest phoenix]

photomath

[eternal osprey]

why are you bringing back the bad memories

[slender thistle]

😂

[violet mesa]

tysm @earnest phoenix and @slender thistle im sorry for the hastle!!! i shall now shut

[earnest phoenix]

photomath is useless for higher level maths or when you start working with something like logarithms because you need to know which rules to apply

[violet mesa]

this is final code if anyone needs even tho no one needs code from me lmao

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  game = discord.Game("on " + str(len(bot.guilds)) + " servers")
  await bot.change_presence(status=len(bot.guilds), activity=game)

idk what status= needs to be lol so i left it as that

[earnest phoenix]

i sent you a link to what it's supposed to be

status is referring to these

leave it unset if you don't want to change it

ergo remove it from your code

[slender thistle]

I'm really surprised d.py doesn't straight up error out for that

[misty sigil]

no discord's api just gets really fucking confused

yo wtf u mean by 2 as your status

[sonic lodge]

lol "i'm currently number 2-ing"

[earnest phoenix]

tmi

[sonic lodge]

👀

[faint prism]

uh

[opal plank]

yeah 100% downloading that

[faint prism]

I did

[opal plank]

executing as admin too to make sure

[faint prism]

Just to check the magic file header is actually a JFIF encoding

[wanton mural]

ok

[opal plank]

account that is one month old

posting random files in chat

[faint prism]

really low quality animu pic

[opal plank]

yeah, 100% trustworthy

[faint prism]

At least it's a valid pic. Although an uncommon format

[sonic lodge]

wrong place

[earnest phoenix]

please take your fetish for cartoon characters elsewhere

[wanton mural]

fetish?

[opal plank]

ANYWAY

[faint prism]

yeah

[opal plank]

go to #general

this is #development

[misty sigil]

lmao

[opal plank]

opening these files in ms Paint is some insanely high IQ shit

[wanton mural]

ok

[opal plank]

i didnt even know jfif was a valid extension

[faint prism]

I'm not going to try and execute it if that's what you mean by low-iq

[opal plank]

its just weird to use MS Paint out of all the available apps out there

[earnest phoenix]

hxd gang

[faint prism]

To prevent user error I clicked edit instead of open

[livid moat]

Ok

[wanton mural]

what is error code 403

[faint prism]

what is error code 403
@wanton mural https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+error+code+403
Error 403: Access Denied/Forbidden

Usually because you have incorrect authentication

[wanton mural]

ok it on the website i click a bot and it said that

[faint prism]

what website are you talking about

[wanton mural]

https://top.gg/bot/751564973859143730#

[faint prism]

It's not approved yet

[wanton mural]

oh

[faint prism]

Only the bot's developer can see it until it's approved

hince the authentication error

[wanton mural]

oh the owner if the bot said it be up in 5 weeks

[faint prism]

Sounds about right

[opal plank]

^^

6+ last time i said 5

i dont remember who corrected me

but it should be roughly 5-6 weeks

[wanton mural]

The owner of the bot is very nice

[shy turret]

how do i make an async https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/ (i dont use this type of cmd handler usually)

[solemn latch]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function

[karmic compass]

how can i make a randomizer in java?

with a switch/case statement

nvm

[earnest phoenix]

what

[thick gull]

just

?

[shy turret]

how do you get the reactions on an msg djs

[earnest phoenix]

<message>.reactions

[shy turret]

bruh

[wicked sphinx]

how do i play a kahoot game?

[thick gull]

.. ?

[earnest phoenix]

dbl.postStats({ serverCount: guilds, shardCount: client.options.shardCount });

-> invalid shard_count

[next escarp]

I was going to ask you something, and I'm going to approve my bot, but is it safe to give you this information????

[earnest phoenix]

postStats() doesn't take an object as a parameter

@earnest phoenix

so i neccessay need to also send the shardId?

Yes

ok I have one more different question

?

when i try to do pm2 start file.py on my ubuntu 20.04 -> Interpreter python is NOT AVAILABLE in PATH. (type 'which python' to double check.)

[sudden geyser]

do you have the python interpreter in your PATH variable

[timber cloak]

i switched from botghost to bdfd and the difference is amazing

[earnest phoenix]

do you have the python interpreter in your PATH variable
no, how do i do that

[timber cloak]

[sudden geyser]

@earnest phoenix You add it to the path (PATH=$path:/path/to/python/thing). See this stackoverflow post as there are a lot of ways you could set it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26962251

[earnest phoenix]

thanks bro

[stark abyss]

😳

[earnest phoenix]

?

[green kestrel]

sigh... 18 hours of solid debugging and refactoring....

🥴

^ my head

finally getting somewhere though, we've narrowed it down to a library issue, a missing mutex lock

[slender thistle]

geez

[unique patio]

There's easier ways to debug 😮

[earnest phoenix]

Not in his case

print(f"[{foo}] hello world")
                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[slender thistle]

What's your Python version?

[earnest phoenix]

 python --version
Python 2.7.18rc1

i made an emoji list. if the length is more than 1024. will create the page.
but I couldn't split emojis. what should I do?

let emojiks = `${message.guild.emojis.cache.map(emoji => emoji).join(' ')}`;

.setDescription(`${emojiks.slice(0,1024)}`)

.setDescription(`${emojiks.slice(1024,2048)}`)

[slender thistle]

f-strings are exclusively Python3.6+ thing

[earnest phoenix]

how do I update it

on linux

[opal plank]

@green kestrel having some issues here too

trying to grab an annoying bug on my cache

i might try exposing a debugger on a random port and try to use chrome to debug it

debugging shit in ubuntu is the worst

no VSC =

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix Just make it show specific amount of emojis in every embed so it won't get cut off like that

how can i adjust the amount

[unkempt ocean]

I'm trying to get some text from html. whic package do you prefer?

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix

Amount of?

[unkempt ocean]

using chowdown rn

[earnest phoenix]

no VSC = :bpd_aquaCry:
@opal plank you do have vsc on ubuntu

snap has it

[green kestrel]

no VSC = :bpd_aquaCry:
@opal plank wait uh.... vsc? whats up with just vim? 😄

[earnest phoenix]

3|app-name | Please visit this URL to authorize this application: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=...

I run this with pm2

But I can't figure out how to insert the key.

[opal plank]

@green kestrel does VIM have a debugger like VSC? havent used vim at all

@earnest phoenix its more about the debugger. node has the ability to expose debugger by itself, its just that VSC makes it awfully easy to do stuff

[foggy anvil]

h

[karmic compass]

is there a java equivalent of ```js
${variable}

[sonic lodge]

template literals?

[thick gull]

i think he means a var inside of a string

[earnest phoenix]

Is this channel is sharing your code?

[thick gull]

without ' e ' + var + 'e'

no spoonfeed

[shy turret]

When I use: (discord.js)

msg.awaitReactions(filter, { 
    max: null, 
    time: time, 
    errors: ['time'] 
}).then(async collected => {
});

I keep getting this error but it doesn't actually stop the filter. It is just annoying and spams the console.

(node:11944) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: #<Collection>
(node:11944) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 2)

[slender thistle]

see channel topic

[thick gull]

.catch()

?

[earnest phoenix]

Nvm

[shy turret]

@thick gull still gives error

[thick gull]

m

[earnest phoenix]

who here good with

go lang

[sonic lodge]

@karmic compass there's String.format() if that's what you're looking for, although it isn't as neat as js

[shy turret]

adding try{}catch(){} doesnt even do it/ignore the error

[sonic lodge]

try catch won't catch rejected promises

you need to use .catch() instead

[shy turret]

i did

i didnt work

[sonic lodge]

are you sure the error is coming from that line

[shy turret]

yes

waot

[blazing portal]

But you need to add a .catch. Can you show us how it looked like with it?

[shy turret]

wait

                                        msg.awaitReactions(filter, { 
                                            max: null, 
                                            time: time, 
                                            errors: ['time'] 
                                        }).then(async collected => {
                                        }).catch();

this?

[thick gull]

who here good with
@earnest phoenix https://dontasktoask.com

[blazing portal]

well you actually need to do something when you catch an error

[shy turret]

kk

.catch(err => {}); hehe

nice

works but what was that error all about

it occured after the "time" was done

[blazing portal]

The error was about the time running out, but you not doing anything with that error

[shy turret]

kk

oh so the error occurs if the "max" didnt happen?

[sonic lodge]

probably

[blazing portal]

no

when the time runs out

[sonic lodge]

it rejects with the collected reactions, which is kind of weirdo

[lyric harness]

hi everyone

[blazing portal]

you specifically set it up that way... errors: ['time'],

[sonic lodge]

oh i read it as "if the 'max' didn't happen in time"

[blazing portal]

well yeah if max didnt happen before time ran out, thats the errir

[earnest phoenix]

Do a try catch to catch the error and see what the actual error is

[shell salmon]

can anyone help me add commands to a bot i made

[forest drift]

how would i constantly disconnect someone from a voice channel based on their id and the voice channel id?

[viscid goblet]

i ran through my apps folder and found my old project that i worked on in like april
its called Anarchy Server Maker Bot Maker (ASMBM for short)

[sudden geyser]

@forest drift what library

also why not just deny them permission to join the channel

[forest drift]

also why not just deny them permission to join the channel
@sudden geyser it's for a troll bot I've been asked to make for my friend

[hasty mulch]

Is it possible to print an argument in Python?

[slender thistle]

uhhhhhhhh

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yeah?

[dire obsidian]

well hi

i have a little question related with python

[slender thistle]

It's pretty much just print(arg) unless it's somehow overcomplicated?

[dire obsidian]

to import an object from a external file should i use classes?

[slender thistle]

Hmm

[hasty mulch]

Just import works for me

[slender thistle]

How's the object stored?

[hasty mulch]

Unless you have an error @dire obsidian

[dire obsidian]

you use tkinter?

[slender thistle]

Oh that thing, no

[hasty mulch]

@dire obsidian Do you have any errors?

[dire obsidian]

let me execute it

[hasty mulch]

Kk, let us know

[sudden geyser]

1. Listen to the voiceStateUpdate event: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client?scrollTo=e-voiceStateUpdate
2. See the .channelID and .id (.id I think is for the member ID).
3. Check the .connection or .sessionID property (I don't know which one determines if the member is in the voice channel, but experiment).

If .channelID is equal to the channel ID and .id is the member you want to kick (use .member.id if .id doesn't actually point to the member; it should), call the .kick() method.

[slender thistle]

I mean, importing should work just fine. 🤔
Then again, it's 0642 and I haven't slept.

[hasty mulch]

I’ll handle, I think I know what his issue is

[forest drift]

Thanks

[hasty mulch]

@dire obsidian Anything?

[dire obsidian]

hold a sec

my pc is slow

[hasty mulch]

Ok

Tag me when you execute it

[dire obsidian]

@hasty mulch well i have this

this is the code

[hasty mulch]

And?

[dire obsidian]

i import the click function from functions.py

in functions.py is this

[hasty mulch]

Ok, any errors?

[dire obsidian]

yes

[hasty mulch]

Move the two variables over and try it

Best I can give you based on what I know

[dire obsidian]

like import main?

it show this

[hasty mulch]

Try it and see

[dire obsidian]

i try it

now see

show this error #development message

anyways

thanks for the help

i need to go, take care

No, I want to turn on my bot

Someone please do it for me

[gentle thicket]

we cant

[drifting wedge]

I’m joking by the way, I’m not THAT retarded lol sorry 😔

[gentle thicket]

only you can

https://tenor.com/view/umm-confused-blinking-okay-white-guy-blinking-gif-7513882

[sudden geyser]

@dire obsidian your most recent error likely means you tried importing one module, then inside that module you try importing that other module, leading to a circular (also known as recursive) import.

The reason for your last error was because label was not defined. I assume you're referring to the Label class from the tkinter module, but there needs to be some form of instance of it in order to use it. To my knowledge, the command keyword is called when the user clicks on the button.

I assume you want to pass some kind of argument to your click function. If you really wanted to pass an argument, one option would be to use a lambda so you call it with an argument. But label can't just come from nowhere.

[slender thistle]

Small sneak peek at the new update regarding dblpy

        webh = dbl.WebhookManager(bot=self.bot, port=port)
        webh.dbl_webhook("/dbl", "dbl_pass")
        webh.dsl_webhook("/dsl", "dsl_pass")
        await webh.run()

[hasty mulch]

It’s tag is mee5#1842
@drifting wedge Are you joking about this as well?

[lusty furnace]

does anyone here use discord.py for making a bot?

[hasty mulch]

@lusty furnace Yep

[wind sigil]

Anyone s there ??

[lusty furnace]

@hasty mulch can u make a giveaway command or ticket command bc im having trouble finding out how to do that altho i do know lots abt discord.py

[hasty mulch]

I can’t really

Cause I haven’t done it myself

[lusty furnace]

oof

i rly just know more abt python in general but making a bot using the language basically opens up so much more problems and discovery

its almost like a whole new language within a language

[hasty mulch]

https://discord.gg/r3sSKJJ

Better to ask there @lusty furnace

[earnest phoenix]

It does not run

sendMessage is a v11 thing

[blissful coral]

Which v11 will be unsupported soon

Well your on v12 so that doesn’t really matter

[opal plank]

im fairly certain v11 has been deprecated for 2 months now

[sudden geyser]

Probably for longer.

v11 goes extinct in 6 days though.

It'll be fun to watch.

[blissful coral]

Can’t wait 😬

Be ready to be in support channels telling people to put cache

so i have this say command

where my bot repeats what u say

but i wanna know how to diable mass mentions

[faint prism]

Like what for example

[spare fern]

like @everyone

or @here

[faint prism]

You can check if the content contains those mentions

And if it does, either redact them or don't reply

[spare fern]

oh wdym by that

like i have no idea what code i supposed to do

[faint prism]

This should help
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61243162/discord-py-how-to-detect-if-a-user-mentions-pings-the-bot

hi

why is my bot not in the server yet why is it not publish on the website

it’s been like five whole months

[grizzled isle]

Firstly, wrong channel
Secondly, its gotta get approved.

[earnest phoenix]

maybe longer

i’m about ready to click the leave button because I’m about done

tbh they got about 100K members

[earnest phoenix]

do you did you read this side message or are you blind

yea, bot development, your question fits better in #support

show pls

[opal plank]

@topaz sleet you want customized prefixes?

like @ bot AND a default prefix?

I dont know

It has 2 lines of text

I wanna fix it

you have 2 bots running on the same token?

[ionic shard]

using node-fetch on reddit
sometimes return urls which are not pure Image/Gif urls
can i specify to only get .gif .png etc?

[opal plank]

which lang @ionic shard ?

[ionic shard]

js

[opal plank]

try checking with endsWith()

if(endsWith('.png') || endsWith('gif')...) // continue code

that should help a bit

[ionic shard]

thanks

[opal plank]

[earnest phoenix]

In Goggle Analytics how do you check the average duration for which users stay

[earnest phoenix]

if(endsWith('.png') || endsWith('gif')...) // continue code
@opal plank this is just actually surface checking, you need to check the file header if you want to know the actual file type

[opal plank]

that'd be best, yeah

[earnest phoenix]

an .exe can be renamed to a .gid

[opal plank]

but if they only have URL available

aka they using a lib

[earnest phoenix]

gif*

[opal plank]

they best bet is liekly checking for extension with that string search

some libs just give you the object with simplified and parsed results

which i assume is that case with the lib they are using for reddit

[earnest phoenix]

none of the libs give you the actual file data lol?

[opal plank]

i know quite a few that dont

nor do i know which endpoints they are touching and what it returns

but yes, checking headers would be preferrable

[earnest phoenix]

the url is enough, make a GET request and read the first few bytes of the data you receive just to check for the file header

[opal plank]

otherwise, use string search

[earnest phoenix]

i think you might have a misconception

the file header is in the actual file

in binary

[opal plank]

thats what i mean with string search

first, it may have queries in it

so it might not even work with endsWith() as i suggested

its more of a patch rather than a permanent fix

[limpid geode]

Is anyone else having problems with getting users by ID in Discord.py 1.5?

[slender thistle]

You sure your cache isn't dead?

[limpid geode]

Hmm might be.

Looks like it might require the member intent.

Hmm no change. I assume there's a way to reinitialize the bot cache

I got it, there's a new guild_ready timeout that defaults to two seconds.

Hmmm didn't like that either....must be some new Discord API thing.

[forest drift]

let attachment = new Discord.Attachment(image.toBuffer(), "goodbye-image.png");

how would i change that to work with v12?

[limpid geode]

No, it's definitely intents.

oh shit Brain is here

U STOLE NAME

[surreal cradle]

what time is it there?

[compact oriole]

also why did it get reset?

[green kestrel]

bot got caught into a reboot loop

[compact oriole]

ohhh rip

[green kestrel]

restarted 150 times in 2 hours

[compact oriole]

damm

[green kestrel]

it was due to a dependent library being stricter than it used to be

[cobalt spruce]

sad

[compact oriole]

oh so it got changed

[green kestrel]

updated, seemed fine, went to bed.... rip

[rustic nova]

Then gets quarantined by Discord because it's getting ratelimited

[green kestrel]

it also worked fine for hours before that in dev/test
