Just make sure that you declare commands and that it's an array
wind kayak
No, can't change your mind
wind kayak
But for a beginner with a small bot it doesn't matter
opal plank
and they have unique indexers
if we gonna throw coding practices out of the winodws just cuz the bot is small why not make every command under its own client.on('message') ? you can have up to 11 commands

I don't use d.js but I'm pretty sure it's members.cache
spare trench
anyone here who knows a way to clear cache of discord / twitch. im trying to fetch some images with twitch api but image wont update when im refetching it?
earnest phoenix
there shouldn't be any cache behavior by default
but just append a cache buster to the url
google it if you don't know what it is
spare trench
i added a unix timestamp on the url provided ...jpg?time=(unix timestamp)
earnest phoenix
that should work
spare trench
but doesnt have any affect
spare trench
i use nodejs with discord.js and twitch.tv-api which fetch data from streamer when its starts the stream. when its live it fetch stream data which includes api thumbnail.preview (small, medium, large), where i added the timestamp ?time=unixtimestamp
${data.stream.preview.medium}?time=${dateunix} something like this
opal plank
@spare trench twitch doesnt have cache
spare trench
@opal plank i figured out. its the cache of discord when i delete manual %appdata%\discord -> Cache folder and restart discord the images change to the new ones
opal plank
what are you even doing that requires you to clear your own cache?
whenever you do a request it returns the url of the preview
thats about it, no caching involved
so idk what you even attempting to do, less so about adding timestamp on your url
spare trench
opal plank
yeah, i assumed that part, but what does the timestamp have to do with the returned preview?
spare trench
i want to refresh the image. but because discord is creating a cache of it, because name of image provided by twitch api is always the same it wont change and it keeps example: GTA V image of yesterday but streamer is currently playing Mario Kart it wont change to the new image because of cache
spare trench
ke will try

@opal plank How.. its sends an embed?
opal plank
is the embed empty though?
earnest phoenix
How will I ask for a response without sending the bot ._.

i'd recommend logging the embbed object before sending it

Who here play rocket league I’m doing a giveaway check it out My user name is Lawzdogplayz
@obtuse tiger bruh
opal plank
add content, i think your embed is malformed @snow urchin
if it only sends the content that would mean the embed is malformed
snow urchin
It works when sending straight to a channel
sudden geyser
@snow urchin embeds is part of the second argument (options): https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Webhook?scrollTo=send
opal plank
im fairly certain you can send the payload directly @sudden geyser
sudden geyser
Yes, but you need to supply it as the second argument under embeds: [...]
snow urchin
so null, embed?
opal plank
i dont think you even need that
snow urchin
didnt think so either
opal plank
just like send() it can parse the payload directly
sudden geyser
actually you don't even need to pass nvmembeds: [...]
opal plank
try what i said, add content property on your object
outside of embed
{content: 'test', embeds: ...}

thats it
@opal plank huh funny but that only works in index.js right what if i have a command handler
rotund yarrow
is that the most efficient way (as far as lag goes) to do it?
opal plank
probably passing it as parameter
rotund yarrow
right
opal plank
though depending on how your command handler is setup, it may not work very well
so its case-use

await request('api', function (error, response, body) { if(error) throw error; if(response.statusCode !== 200) return console.log(chalk.red("ERROR ") + 'Status code was ' + response.statusCode) return body; });Returns Promise { <Pending> } even tho its an async function?
@tulip ledge async function returns a promise
tulip ledge
how do I depromisify?
wet dove
^ that should work
tulip ledge
Nope request.then is not a function
Tried it before
And node-fetch fetch('api').then(res => {return res.json()}) returns Promise { <Pending> } too
opal plank
is 'api' even a valid url?
opal plank
oh i see
opal plank
you could try util on it
util usually works well with callbacks like that
to promisify it
tulip ledge
ill try
wet dove
fetch('api').then(res => res.json()).then(json => {
code here
})``` @tulip ledgethat would likely turn into a massive callback hell
specially if they do more stuff after that then() chain
try promisifying
tulip ledge
tulip ledge
Taf urs returns Promise { undefined }
earnest phoenix
require("util").promisify(fetch)(<whatever you want to do in the function>)```callbackify 🧠

Weird
earnest phoenix
Have you tried
let response = await <node-fetch>("API").then(res => res.json());```
wraith haven
What would be the best way to show two command prefixes without it being confusing
my two prefixes are chai and ,, so something like chai, . ?
I feel that could get confusing tho
quartz kindle
node-fetch uses two promises
you have to wait for the first promise, which returns a response object containing a data stream, then you have to wait for the second promise, which reads the stream and converts it into the appropriate data format you chose
so basically ```js
let response = await fetch("bla");
let data = await response.json();
// or
fetch("bla").then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(data))
tame kestrel
@wraith haven you can just put like , or chai
earnest phoenix
Or wrap both prefixes between one line code blocks

@earnest phoenix Was a stupid error I fixed it
snow urchin
I have this inside a function inside a class, inside another function for the same class I log this.attachments, why does it return undefined?
sudden geyser
You were supposed to pass a function, but you passed nothing/something that evaluated to undefined instead.
See the stacktrace for help
snow urchin
sudden geyser
Notice the ) after "collect"
The second argument is supposed to be the function.
You instead closed it.
zenith knoll
message.guilds.members.cache.get(args[0]) DOes this check if a user is in any server that the bot is in?

@sudden geyser Actually I do not understand. Can you explain in more detail?

No, it's not valid syntax. Check the docs for info as members is not a member of the .guilds cache manager.

@sudden geyser Actually I do not understand. Can you explain in more detail?
snow urchin
And with the updates I am doing:
https://github.com/callumokane/Discord-Bot/tree/main/src/modules/support
@quartz kindle
Let me just push current
sudden geyser
It's not working because you only passed one argument to it. You closed it via ) after "collect". This comes down to syntax.
snow urchin
reaction.on("collect", async (reaction, user) => {
// function code
})
Tim, that repo should be updated now, so you can have a look
quartz kindle
@snow urchin in the attach command, for example
you use new Ticket, then ticket.fetch, then ticket.attach
ticket.attach uses this.attachments
merry thunder
Og thx
quartz kindle
but this.attachments is only created by ticket.create
snow urchin
so it can only be used in ticket.create?
quartz kindle
your current code only creates this.attachments if you run ticket.create somewhere before using ticket.attach
snow urchin
yes, I do
Oh wait
I see now 😄
Since I push the attachments to the database, I guess my solution would be to set this.attachments in ticket.fetch
Thanks 😛

@umbral zephyr you dont make a database in discord js
you make a database, then use the language(js) or a library(also js) to connect and exchange data from/into it
umbral zephyr
ok
opal plank
you need to do research about which database you need to use first
umbral zephyr
ik that
opal plank
Mongo, Maria, Cassandra, postgres, or the likes
it varies on preference and usage
its the right tool for the right job tbh
the only realistic thing you should worry about is ACID compliance and Relational Database

If I am using a forEach and its going to run twice for 2 found then how do I make it wait 1 second before running the next foreach?
sudden geyser
You should convert it to a for of and use something that could block/pause the execution.
An example would be making a sleep function defined as so: js const sleep = (ms) => new Promise((res) => setTimeout(res, ms))
sweet ruin
function sleep(milliseconds) {
const date = Date.now();
let currentDate = null;
do {
currentDate = Date.now();
} while (currentDate - date < milliseconds);
}
///then here you want it to sleep just add where you want it to sleep
sleep(1000);
@blissful coral
sudden geyser
Then in your forEach, , you call sleep(...).
Creepa I don't recommend that method.
That loop will constantly keep running until it's over.
That could be millions of iterations.
blissful coral
Wait so where would I put sleep then @sudden geyser
Just put sleep after the code
sweet ruin
where you want it to sleep at
sudden geyser
You put it where you want to block/pause the execution in the loop.
blissful coral
Okay
sweet ruin
so like where you want it to wait at in the code
sudden geyser
You also need to await it.
blissful coral
const sleep = (ms) => new Promise((res) => setTimeout(res, ms))
so I just change ms to the time
Ok
sweet ruin
no no
sudden geyser
No, you call the function with the duration in milliseconds.
blissful coral
ah
sweet ruin
leave that the same. but then where you want it to sleep do ```js
sleep(1000) //this sleeps it for one second which is 1000 milliseconds
.query(...) is executed later as it's a callback. There's no guarantee found will be true on time.
blissful coral
Is there a work around?
sudden geyser
Yes, handle it in the callback instead.
sudden geyser
The only gain from that is readability/syntax though. And they would still need to make the forEach function argument async, and since promises are also called "later", there wouldn't be any benefit.
opaque seal
The only gain from that is readability/syntax though. And they would still need to make the

past ferry
Btw, guys, arch I've seen in my bot guilds logs, that my bot has leaved this server or other servers (pseudo-leave, I mean - bot receives leave event, but isn't actually leaving) . And I know that discord is doing this 
. But is there some way to know about this "weird" events?
*know/detect
vernal rivet
O.o too many questions
quartz kindle
a GUILD_DELETE event is emitted by discord when guilds become unavailable
you can check if the event contains unavailable:true
vernal rivet
Isnt channels a collection not an array @blissful coral
blissful coral
@vernal rivet yeah but you can do .array() according to the docs
vernal rivet
What are you trying to do?
blissful coral
So I provide multiple channels
Then it will search the db for each channel
I am using a for loop to search by each one
But I can't do channel[number] because it isn't a array
vernal rivet
There should be a .forEach method
blissful coral
when I search through my db it doesn't come back in time and I can't use await because it won't wait for it in a forEach
vernal rivet
How long does the db call take?
vernal rivet
I mean it looks like you're doing remote db correct?
Oh your dealing with callbacks
Try wrapping it in a promise
Either that or inside a function and have a function call into a variable

can someone explain the basics of clustering in the context of a discord bot? I think I have a slight understanding, but any explanation would help a lot :)

Does anyone have any idea on how to draw text using canvas?

thx
ctx.font = '30px "bhb"';
ctx.fillText(textMessage, 0, imgHeight/2);
I was doing that but it wasn't working for some reason
quartz kindle
@jovial void clustering doesnt actually mean anything in itself, its just a popularly used word to define multiple processes running multiple shards each
jovial void
so I can have two processes running like 30 shards each, with the first process running shards 0 - 29 and second running 30 - 59 and nothing conflicts with each other
quartz kindle
yes you can
jovial void
do you have any insights on how one would go about implementing such a system?
thank you for your help thus far btw :)
quartz kindle
depends on the library you use
jovial void
I am on python, but basic principles might apply across all languages, idk
never done something like this before, thats why I'm finding it a bit confusing sorry
quartz kindle
so technically you would need to supply a total shard count, ie 60, and a list of shard ids, ie [0,2,3,4,...30] to the client
but from looking at the dpy docs, it seems discord.py doesnt support internal sharding
their shard_id option only accepts an integer, and not an array
oh wait i forgot about autosharded client
let me check
ah yes here it is
client = discord.AutoShardedClient(shard_count=10, shard_ids=(1, 2, 5, 6))
so you would launch one process with ids 0 through 29, and another with ids 30 through 59, both with a total count of 60
jovial void
ohhhhhhh
I see
so suppose I've calculated the required amount of shards, I could then launch processes accordingly with the appropriate shard_count and shard_ids for each process
quartz kindle
yup
jovial void
coming together
yeah ig I just thought it was more complicated than it sounds
thanks a lot!
really appreciate it
quartz kindle

stark abyss
Tim filltext does work but it won't wrap the text on image
I am not sure how to do that, do you have any idea?
quartz kindle
there is no text wrapping on canvas
fillText does have a 4th parameter where you can specify the text's max width in pixels, and if reached, it will automatically resize the font to make it fit
but there is no autowrap feature
you need to wrap the text yourself
you can use the measureText functions to get the text width in pixels, and if bigger than the width you're working with, split the text into two lines
to make it go into a second line, you need to use fillText again but with a different Y value
you need to define the line height yourself

there are like a thousand of message.channel.send() in my codes

solemn latch
Internal you can save some ram and put more shards in a single thread iirc
small prairie
So internal is better?
solemn latch
Internal can be better. Can be worse
carmine summit
So .hasPermission() returns true/false depending on the roles and completely ignores channel overwrites.
What I wanted to do, is to check if the channel has permission overwrites.
So: Role permissions: false, Channel overwrites: true //returns true
solemn latch
If your bot uses 100% of a thread at 2000 guilds, and you use internal sharding making it so you have 4000 guilds per thread you'll have some lag issues
solemn latch
You can combine them iirc

Whenever i think i cant be surprised
New devs at DBL Do it
Dbl new devs never cease to amaze me
carmine summit
hmm
it says that ita a dependency
so i added back "pm2": "^4.5.0", in package.json
its still dosn't connect
small prairie
Uh what do you think PM2 is?
small prairie
Monitoring for?
small prairie
npm i discordjs
granite tendon
?
small prairie
how do I install discord.js though
^
small prairie
Do you known what NPM is?
fathom pecan
granite tendon
no
small prairie
Do you know what nodejs is?
granite tendon
no
clever dust
do you know how to make js code?
small prairie
Do you know javascript?
small prairie
Welp this isnt the right place to start then
granite tendon
but how do i install discord,js though
clever dust
learn javascript first
small prairie
^
carmine summit
@small prairie I need help conencting to pm2 please
granite tendon
im just want to know how to install that
small prairie
Install discordjs is not like installing "An app" or a game
You need to use terminal in the most cases
granite tendon
...
small prairie
And you need basic JS knowledge if you are starting with d.js
clever dust
you won't understand what you will be doing if you don't understand javascript
small prairie
Or there are always people who will mock you like crazy
granite tendon
;-;
small prairie
That has happened to me, The developer world is not all friendly
solemn latch
Well, not in communities like this one
small prairie
Who knows lmao
A good guy might be having a bad day and comes here to vent
But yea, This server is a good place
carmine summit
its pretty much easy
carmine summit
you tell a variable what he is, then call it, then he will say what he is
small prairie
Thats confusing but surprisingly correct
carmine summit
var str = "Hello world!";
console.log(str);
//returns Hello world!
0.0
solemn latch
Id take a look at the djs guide
https://discordjs.guide/
granite tendon
thanks
small prairie
Yea
small prairie
I dont understand what you are trying to do so i cant help
small prairie
Afaik pm2 isnt even a in file module
solemn latch
Pm2 is just a process manager.
Not sure what you'd want a module for it?
granite tendon
Id take a look at the djs guide
https://discordjs.guide/
@solemn latch im even more confused than before
solemn latch
Its the basics of the basics
granite tendon
...
solemn latch
Its best to understand a bit about the language first really.
granite tendon
which link do i choose first
small prairie
There is only 1 link ._.
solemn latch
Javascript.info is a good one
small prairie
ok nvm
granite tendon
the link in the site
solemn latch
Most here hate it, but codecademy i like for the very very basics. Anything past like the second section kinda sucks
carmine summit
i typed pm2 in console, gave me pm2 is not defined
small prairie
do npm i pm2 -g
carmine summit
ok then???
small prairie
then retype pm2 in your console
slender thistle
Codecademy sucked for me with HTML and CSS ngl
I barely learned anything, it was mostly an equivalent of copy-pasting with all the "enter the small snippet of CSS here"
carmine summit
then retype pm2 in your console
@small prairie gave me an object that has spaggethi code
solemn latch
Hf
small prairie
thats really not the thing to have fun about but Thanks!
solemn latch
What happens when you do pm2 monit
sudden geyser
@slender thistle codecademy has sucked at a lot of stuff tbh
every task you finish it suggests pro mode
slender thistle
lol
sudden geyser
or that one time where in their C++ tutorial were talking about inlines and shoved a bunch of code I never saw and basically said "yeah test it and see if it makes your code faster"
solemn latch
I miss the days when it didn't have pro mode
Would have 4 pages of text per example
🤷♂️
slender thistle
I'm sorry hwat
sudden geyser
oh and there's one more thing. When the number of users for a course isn't that high they'll usually just put the number of users they have across the entire site (join 45m+ "learners") which looks silly

Thought I would share a poker game I wrote in C# (it’s commented out because there are bugs i.e. 2 games can’t run at once etc.) The poker game does work on its own tho: https://github.com/stageosu/Kaguya/blob/master/KaguyaProjectV2/KaguyaBot/Core/Commands/Currency/Poker/PokerGame.cs

okay so even if i do this thing where it checks if the channel type is dm, it still responds to dm commands how do i fix it
hazy sparrow
read the comment
tardy hornet
if (message.channel.type === 'dm') return
@hazy sparrow
if (message.channel.type === 'dm') return

dm is lowercase ^
tardy hornet
yo cwickks
add
.sizeat the last part maybe
and if i want it to say how many text channels, then that?
message.guild.TextChannels.cache.size
sonic lodge
you need to loop through message.guild.channels.cache and manually count the text channels
carmine summit
BRUH
tardy hornet
............
carmine summit
-nodot
sonic lodge
or filter the cache to include only text channels and count the size of the filtered collection
sonic lodge
message.guild.channels.cache.filter((channel) => channel.type === 'text')
carmine summit
message.guild.channels.cache.filter((c) => c.type !== "category").size;
tardy hornet
then?
there you go
you have a collection of only text channels, and you can find the size of it easily with .size

ive got message.channel.send(attachment); and it takes some time to upload, so how do i make it send a message and delete the message after it has sent?
tardy hornet
what do you mean?
carmine summit
put dot size
tardy hornet
where?
ive got
message.channel.send(attachment);and it takes some time to upload, so how do i make it send a message and delete the message after it has sent?
@silver lintel
message.channel.send(attachment).then (message.delete({timeout: time in milliseconds }));
carmine summit
no
tardy hornet
put dot size
@carmine summit where? i tried and its giving me errors
silver lintel
no
tardy hornet
oh yeah
carmine summit
ahhh
tardy hornet
right
carmine summit
message.channel.send(attachment).then(m => m.delete({timeout: 5000 }));
tardy hornet
every second is 1k
carmine summit
its called miliseconds
tardy hornet
@carmine summit where do i put the .size
tardy hornet
lol
silver lintel
await is asynchronous right?
silver lintel
message.guild.owner
carmine summit
AT THE END
OF THE
THING
message.guild.channels.cache.filter(m => m.type != "category").size
hazy sparrow
spoonfeed?
restive furnace
why, guild owner might not be cached use this instead: js guildOwner ? guildOwner#tag : guildMembers#fetch(ownerId).tag
carmine summit

tat will get your bot instanly denied
because of

but if you do want? client.guilds.cache.forEach(g => console.log(g.name))
just add a filter that only you can see it

How can I know the reason if someone banned/kicked my bot?
@carmine summit You will receive the GUILD_DELETED event through the gateway if so.
Returning the guild id.
merry thunder
Change the profile picture in the application page
@hasty mulch Have another opitons?
boreal iron
And afaik the reason if the user has used one.
hasty mulch
@hasty mulch Have another opitons?
@merry thunder Uhhhhhh, @modern sable ?????
modern sable
Not that i'm aware of
carmine summit
And afaik the reason if the user has used one.
@boreal iron how
carmine summit
Let us all appreciate the effort that was made.
boreal iron
Huh what’s your issue with it?
It will return the client object and optionally the reason as string of given by the client.
boreal iron
huh damn I can’t copy on mobile
Gimme a second
To move to the PC
Let god thanks for Windows updates...
Oh I see... that just fetches a ban reason, not a kick reason
hmm
fickle sapphire
That's because kick's dont come with a Reason by standard.. If you want to save the reason you've gotta use a Database or a JSON file.. but its easier to use a Database
boreal iron
@carmine summit Should be https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=fetchBan
You can use the user ID or object etc.
To fetch the ban.
and it will return the object banInfo https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/typedef/BanInfo
{
user: <object>,
reason: <string>
}```The reason is optional, which means you need to check if baninfo.reason is undefined and if so there's no reason.
guild.fetchBan(user).then(baninfo => console.log(baninfo.reason));
@carmine summit
But I'm not sure if "fetchBan" will be transmitted through the gateway before the BOT is banned.
Could probably be possible the BOT will receive the GUILD_DELETED event only.
Not tested this out yet.
carmine summit
its too confusing for me
boreal iron
lemme test it real quick...
Not received any ban event through the gateway, oof.
oh hold on for a second... may I'm missing the right intents
need to check this real quick
oof
earnest phoenix
ohh meeennnnn
boreal iron
Thought if your BOT is used in less than 100 server priviledged intents are allowed, shouldn't they?
misty sigil
You need to enable them
boreal iron
oh nvm, forgot to enable them
aye, thanks for the hint
idk, no reason given on GUILD_MEMBER_UPDATE event
for kicks even if I enter one
misty sigil
You need to fetch that from audits iirc
boreal iron
oh
yeah got that, GUILD_MEMBER_... events don't contain the reason
You need to fetch that from audits iirc
It would be needed to fetch the latest audit log if anyGUILD_MEMBER_REMOVEevent is been sent through the gateway, aye
its too confusing for me
@carmine summitguild.fetchBan(user).then(baninfo => console.log(baninfo.reason));
How so?

Just for the deleted message about Math.random issue:
(quoting the JS docs)
function getRandomInt(min, max) {
min = Math.ceil(min);
max = Math.floor(max);
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min)) + min;
}
And your_array.length will return the array size, to use it as max value to return the keys, you need to do: let max = (your_array.length - 1);
Because array keys will start at 0, not 1

hi, i have an embed with a thumbnail and a main image. i want to know if i can attach a link to the images? the code is simply embeded.set_image(url=img) but i want to be able to click on the image and send the person to another url. is this possible?
opaque seal
no you can't
boreal iron
But you can set an URL for the embed itself, which will turn the title into a link.

ok thanks

What is the new message.mentions.channels.first()
quartz kindle
@jovial void discord has an endpoint which gives you the recommended number of shards, so you can get them from there, then arrange them among your processes
This can be done either from a script that launches/controls the processes like a sharding manager, or it can be done from the processes themselves as long as they have a way to identify themselves
For example if process 2 knows that it is number 2, then it can fetch the total and assign itself the latter half
tardy hornet
if(args[0] === prefixMention) return message.channel.send('please use the `!` prefix in this command, ty')```
its still sending the command.when i use the mention
someone
opal plank
args is usually AFTER your prefix
if you followed the guide, at least
@tardy hornet
without more code we cant tell much
tardy hornet
the command is the you kill the user.mention.first()
but if someone use my @mention perfix it will kill the bot
not the user
opal plank
!command bla bleh
prefix is !
command is command
bla is args[0]
bleh is args[1]
by logic using args[0], it surely wouldnt do anything regarding to prefix cuz its under args
gleaming pebble
if you are looking for a way to have it respond on a mention this helps https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57115994/how-can-i-get-a-bot-to-respond-to-a-channel-mention
tardy hornet
no im not
tardy hornet
i want it to kill the user not the bot
gleaming pebble
oh
opal plank
i still dont see what you are trying to do
gleaming pebble
for that i had a video
it gives a role, but it has the code to dtect a mention.
its for discord.js
opal plank
the snippet your provided doesnt give any info whatsoever
if you want a mention, message comes shipped with a mentions porperty in it which you can use to get the person, so i have no idea what your prefixMention is and how its related to what you want to accomplish
like i said, i need more context
tardy hornet
i have a command that for example:
!kill @mention
and when i use the mention prefix, its killing the bot, not the user, because its killing the message.mentions.users.first()
opal plank
yes cuz thats the first one
tardy hornet
ik
gleaming pebble
if you want to mention the player in discord.js do "<@" + message.author.id + ">"
opal plank
if message.mentions.first() === me => get second mention
first() returns first mention
if i do @opal plank kill @tardy hornet , the first mention is me, which is returned in first()
instead of using that, get the second mention instead
so just check if the prefix is your mention, if so, grab second mention
if the prefix is the normal prefix, get the first mention
should be as simple as doing that
tardy hornet
thats what im trying to do
opaque seal
if i do @opal plank kill @tardy hornet , the first mention is me, which is returned in first()
iirc correctly they are ordered by ID not by mention order
opal plank
if(client.mentions.users.first().id === client.user.id) => get second mention
else { //use first mention}
im not too sure tbh about the order they come shipped in, so you might be right
opal plank
what i sent should also work
opaque seal
TLDR
You might expect it to ban @Offender, because that is who you mentioned first. However, the Discord API does not send the mentions in the order they appear; They are sorted by their ID instead.
tardy hornet
what do i put in the get second mention part
opaque seal
regexing is rally bad
@opal plank ?
opal plank
interate in the map and get the second index value
tardy hornet
what do i put in the
get second mentionpart
@opal plank
