development

[quiet arch]

like this

[tame kestrel]

yes

[vernal rivet]

variable declaration doesn't dictate what the variable is being assigned to. only after the declaration

[tame kestrel]

prefix is no longer a string, but an array of strings, so you have to treat it differently

[vernal rivet]

^^^^^

[quiet arch]

oh

[vernal rivet]

also noticed it be easier to just have to be a string, and lowercase the message in the if statement.

but i guess we are going down the array of string path

[quiet arch]

so with the array const this will not work anymore

if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return

`const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/)`
`const command = args.shift().toLowerCase()`

if(command === 'ping'){
client.commands.get('ping',).execute(message, args)

[tame kestrel]

Are you following anidiots.guide?

[vernal rivet]

looks like it

[quiet arch]

nope

or maybe i do but i just dont know

[vernal rivet]

could also be discord.js guides

[tardy moth]

Gyus link to create the bot with phone

[vernal rivet]

yea that d.js guides

i just looked at the guide, it is the exact same

[quiet arch]

oh realy

[vernal rivet]

https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/#individual-command-files

[sudden geyser]

even the comma

[vernal rivet]

not the comma

only the if check and under is the same.

[tame kestrel]

Okay, well. here's what you should try first.

First delete the !message.content.startsWith(prefix) || from the if statement at the top, and create another if statement below. This will serve as a test deciding if the message starts with the prefix or not.

Try applying what I showed you above with the || statement. Don't worry about arrays and all that if you don't understand how they work.

[quiet arch]

ok

[trail orchid]

hey I have a webhook server setup on a repl with a public domain. it successfully receives posts from top.gg but now I need help getting that post data into my python bot.

[quiet arch]

also this

do i needa del this 2?

[tame kestrel]

no, that tests if the author is a bot

[quiet arch]

oh oki

[trail orchid]

class TopGG(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.manager = Manager()
        self.sticher = Stitcher()
        self.dbl_token = config('DBL_TOKEN')
        self.webhook_auth_token = config('ALICE_WEBHOOK_AUTH_TOKEN')
        self.dblpy = dbl.DBLClient(self.bot, self.dbl_token, webhook_path='https://alice-webhook-server.highelf.repl.co/dblwebhook', webhook_auth=self.webhook_auth_token, webhook_port=8000)
    
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_dbl_test(self, data):
        print(data)

[quiet arch]

how do u do that ^^^^

[tame kestrel]

Does your python bot run on the same webserver? If not, you'll need a way for the repl to contact the python script or database

@trail orchid

[trail orchid]

my python bot runs on a different webserver

it runs on heroku

[vernal rivet]

think of if statements like checks. thats the best way to describe what safe is asking for. || is an or operator, means you are saying if this or that is true, then then execute. this means bots can access your bot commands because the message has the prefix in it.

[tardy moth]

Hy guys how to create bot with phone plss

Link of application pls

[trail orchid]

Hy guys how to create bot with phone plss
research the twilio api

[tardy moth]

research the twilio api
@trail orchid what

[tame kestrel]

Okay, so you'll need a way for them to interact, you can have the webhook be hosted along with the heroku script, that way it's the same process and will be able to interact within the script, or you can have a database hosted somewhere and the webhook edits the database.

[slender thistle]

what why who when

[trail orchid]

so should I create a separate python script in my bot project that creates a flask server ruynning locally?

[slender thistle]

you

webhook_path isn't the damn URL

[trail orchid]

i know

it's just the path

[slender thistle]

it's the string after IP and port

[tame kestrel]

so should I create a separate python script in my bot project that creates a flask server ruynning locally?
@trail orchid you could, maybe try that and see if that's what would work best.

[trail orchid]

some guy yesterday told me I needed to create it on repl but I'm now thinking I can have topgg post directly to my heroku app

yeah, thanks guys!

[quiet arch]

client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('im online!!')
})

client.on('message', async message => {

if (message.author.bot) return

const command = args.shift().toLowerCase()

if(command === 'pepeping', 'Pepeping'){
    client.commands.get('ping',).execute(message, args)
}else if (command == 'pepepray', 'Pepepray'){
    client.commands.get('pray').execute(message, args)
}else if (command == 'pepeprayspam', 'Pepeprayspam'){
    client.commands.get('prayspam').execute(message, args)
}else if (command == 'hmm'){
    client.commands.get('hmm').execute(message, args)

so like this? (i still have to finish all tho)

[tame kestrel]

Well like, you can have it any way you want, but obviously everyone has a different tech stack to solve different problems and all that

[slender thistle]

Well if you were to host the webhook separately, you might as well scrap dblpy and use Flask/Sanic/Django/aiohttp.web

[tardy moth]

@quiet arch what is name of site ok application for create a bot discord pls

[slender thistle]

unless I missed the part where you said that already

[tardy moth]

Or*

[trail orchid]

wdym?

[tame kestrel]

client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('im online!!')
})

client.on('message', async message => {

if (message.author.bot) return

const command = args.shift().toLowerCase()

if(command === 'pepeping', 'Pepeping'){
    client.commands.get('ping',).execute(message, args)
}else if (command == 'pepepray', 'Pepepray'){
    client.commands.get('pray').execute(message, args)
}else if (command == 'pepeprayspam', 'Pepeprayspam'){
    client.commands.get('prayspam').execute(message, args)
}else if (command == 'hmm'){
    client.commands.get('hmm').execute(message, args)

so like this? (i still have to finish all tho)
@quiet arch you might want to check out javascript tutorials on how comparing strings works.

[vernal rivet]

^^^

[trail orchid]

rn my plan is to create a new python script that runs a flask server in conjunction with my bot

[slender thistle]

d.py + Flask = bad

[trail orchid]

so when I host everything on heroku I have both my bot and flask server running

[slender thistle]

At least use Sanic's async server

[trail orchid]

why is it bad?

[slender thistle]

or aiohttp.web

because Flask isn't async

and d.py is

[tardy moth]

@trail orchid what is name of site ok application for create a bot discord pls

[trail orchid]

is it really not async?

[slender thistle]

It's not

[quiet arch]

@quiet arch you might want to check out javascript tutorials on how comparing strings works.
@tame kestrel okay

u have one for me?

[tame kestrel]

@trail orchid what is name of site ok application for create a bot discord pls
@tardy moth https://code.visualstudio.com/

[slender thistle]

Sanic is similar to Flask, you might want to give it a try

[tame kestrel]

@quiet arch https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/JavaScript_basics

[trail orchid]

yeah I like flask because it's extremely simple

[slender thistle]

It has an async server I used to attach to my bot

[trail orchid]

and this a very simple task

[tame kestrel]

mdn is my favorite guide

[slender thistle]

Yeah I'd suggest Sanic

They're quite similar

[trail orchid]

okay awesome

[quiet arch]

@quiet arch https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/JavaScript_basics
@tame kestrel thx

[tardy moth]

@tame kestrel thnx

How ?? 1 or 2 or 3 ??

[quiet arch]

thank u safe and panda for helping me

[trail orchid]

so just to get this clear, I create a sanic web server on the same domain my bot is hosted on and then post to that domain?

[vernal rivet]

np

||even though i didn't do too much||

[quiet arch]

hehe but still

[slender thistle]

Err, well

[tame kestrel]

You shouldn't program on a phone @tardy moth

if you want to try phone development maybe https://repl.it/ the website will help you

[slender thistle]

I thought you wanted to host your bot along with the webserver?

[trail orchid]

I don't quite understand, what's the point of the dbl library

[slender thistle]

To simplify using the top.gg API and hosting a webhook, as everything is handled internally and all you have to do is process the end data

[trail orchid]

but how does it simplify it if I have to host the webserver locally anyway

one thing that it does do

is autopost

my guild count

which is extremely helpful

but for receiving data, on the fly, it doesn't seem helpful

[slender thistle]

You don't have to handle authorization manually, or actually running the webhook yourself

Eh, yeah. It's optional

[trail orchid]

right?

cause I have to still host the web server myself for topgg to post data to

[slender thistle]

Yeah, you can either use dblpy or do it manually

in this case me yelling at you to use Sanic

[trail orchid]

the difference seems like a few lines of code lol

[quiet arch]

if(!message.content.startsWith('pepe', 'Pepe') || message.author.bot) return

will this work tho?

[trail orchid]

wait oh shit

I think I'm just starting to understand this

are you saying that dblpy creates a webserver for me when I initialize the client?

(on my local machine of course)

[slender thistle]

When you set the webhook_x arguments, yeah

[trail orchid]

OH SHIT

okay that makes so much more sense

[slender thistle]

Only webhook_port required in order to actually run it, the other two args have default values (webhook_auth being an empty string and webhook_path being /dblwebhook)

[trail orchid]

okay well for testing this

I am running the bot on my local machine

so how can I expose my machine to the topgg api

I know i can use ngrok

[slender thistle]

Port forwarding and making sure your firewall isn't blocking requests

[hollow sedge]

? shouldnt it still work on your local machine

[trail orchid]

but I'm not sure how that works here

[slender thistle]

Not familiar with ngrok

Ah, I see

[trail orchid]

https://ngrok.com/

[slender thistle]

Huh, interesting

[tame kestrel]

cant u just start the ngrok and use the port it gives u for local host

[trail orchid]

yeah

[quiet arch]

oh const stands for constand that i didnt think of that 😔

[trail orchid]

that's what I'm thinking

[tame kestrel]

if it gives you 4040 use that in the py script, and then send the webhooks to the ngrok open port

i think i fixed my problem

[vernal rivet]

String.toLowerCase()

[trail orchid]

ayyy

it worked!

thanks guys

[vernal rivet]

@quiet arch that if statement you sent, will not work, it will complain. String.startsWith() takes one parameter.

[quiet arch]

wait whut?

[pale vessel]

it won't but it'll only check for pepe

[quiet arch]

no thats old

[vernal rivet]

ok

does it work now?

[quiet arch]

client.on('message', async message => {

const BotPrefix = "pepe"

if(!message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(BotPrefix) || message.author.bot) return

const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/)
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase()

now i have this

and it works

[vernal rivet]

dont use an OR operator in that if statement

[quiet arch]

dont use an OR operator in that if statement
@vernal rivet why not?

[pale vessel]

it's for a return, why not

[quiet arch]

ye

[vernal rivet]

wait i am being dumb, your returning. and your condition is checking a NOT in there

[eternal osprey]

hey could anyone tell me why my !checking command is not working? ```js
if (message.content.startsWith === '!check') {

    var userId = message.mentions.members.first();

    var userInvites = message.guild.fetchInvites().then(invites => invites.find(invite => invite.inviter.id === userId));

    var useAmount = userInvites.uses;

    if (useAmount === undefined) {

        message.channel.send("<@" + userId.id + ">" +  ` has 0 invites`);
    }

    else {

        message.channel.send("<@" + userId.id + ">" + ` has ${useAmount} invites`);
    }
}

[vernal rivet]

idk whats wrong with it

[quiet arch]

how do u do that tho ???

like send with colours and shiii

[pale vessel]

string.startsWith() is a function

[tame kestrel]

use ```backticks like so``` @quiet arch

[vernal rivet]

what flaze said

[quiet arch]

oh thx

[tame kestrel]

if you want color formatting

```js <- put the name of the lang here
console.log()
```

[vernal rivet]

String.startsWith() is a function, that returns a boolean value. you don't need to use an equal operator there

[eternal osprey]

hmm

[quiet arch]

hmm

is that a python thing?

[tame kestrel]

no scroll up and see my other msg

[eternal osprey]

couldn't i just use message.content

instead of using startsWith?

[quiet arch]

ye so backtics ``` like this right?

[vernal rivet]

you could but your making sure that the message is only the command and prefix.

[eternal osprey]

nvm got it 😉

[quiet arch]

and if i do a space it gives me a meme what did i do wrong in my coding??

[vernal rivet]

what does your message event look like?

[quiet arch]

    const BotPrefix = "pepe"

    if(!message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(BotPrefix) || message.author.bot) return

    const args = message.content.slice(BotPrefix.length).split(/ +/)
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase()

    }

oh yey thx

you cant use , to do OR Operators.
@vernal rivet where?

[tame kestrel]

@quiet arch try reading https://anidiots.guide/first-bot/your-first-bot to see how you can use features in js to improve your bot a bit, and maybe get a better grasp on how JS works

[pale vessel]

@eternal osprey

[quiet arch]

okay

[vernal rivet]

change

else if (message.content == 'pepememe', 'pepemeem')

to

else if(message.content == 'peepmeme' || message.content == 'pepemeem')

[quiet arch]

ok

now it wont work

[pale vessel]

nice

[vernal rivet]

OR operators checks if either condition is true. if so, then it return true. else it returns false. you can't use , to express a OR operator as it is not a OR Operator. only || is. and they have to be both conditions, that returns a boolean value. example:

//  false     true
if(1 == 2 || 2 == 2)
{
  console.log("2 equals 2");
}

do i love markdown sometimes

that beacuse it needs to be pepe pepememe

but that will never execute

[quiet arch]

flaze why nice

oh

[tame kestrel]

Listen Pepe, we won't give you the answer you're looking for, as programming on your own project is what you should be doing.

If what we've given you so far isn't clicking, I would try reading tutorials and learning more about how javascript works, and what tools they give you to solve problems.

[vernal rivet]

do interactive courses, those usually help people the most

[pale vessel]

reading online has always worked for me

[vernal rivet]

same

[quiet arch]

okay

[tame kestrel]

Everyone learns in different ways, so do some research on that, and try solving little javascript puzzles and then try approaching your problem again

you're fine, not many people call me kore, so it took me a second to realize who you were referring to

[tame kestrel]

I end up reading like the first few letters of anyone's username haha

[vernal rivet]

lol i do that some times

[quiet arch]

what do they mean with this?

[quartz kindle]

It means if you do 5 === 4 in your code, you get false

Because 5 is not equal to 4

[quiet arch]

oh

[stoic girder]

Am I allowed by the top.gg rules to beg for upvotes in user's DM after they finish their application process in DM?

[quartz kindle]

If the user initiated the application process with a command, yes, you can mention votes somewhere during the command or at the end of it

As long as youre not sending them a message without them doing anything, youre fine

[stoic girder]

Yep, that's it.

I had it send a message for discordbotlist.com before but removed it before my bot got reviewed here, wasn't sure is it a problem.

[quartz kindle]

Should be fine

i know some bots have it but how would you make like your bots pfp on its page round?

[earnest phoenix]

on the top.gg page?

[vocal sluice]

yea\

[opaque lake]

Is a /seen command possible?
Where you do /seen @Person and it shows when they was last online.

[earnest phoenix]

no

@vocal sluice find the css class for the img on the top.gg page then overwrite it in your bot's description, set the border-radius to 50%

[quartz kindle]

technically it is possible, but it takes a lot of work

[vocal sluice]

like this part @earnest phoenix ?

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

you need to find a class above it though

then you can select the children

give me a sec

[vocal sluice]

oh

oh

so like <div class="bot-img"> that part?

[earnest phoenix]

yup

.bot-img > img 
{
//border radius blah blah
}

[vocal sluice]

do you know what 50% is for pixel?

[earnest phoenix]

just use 50%

css allows percentages

[vocal sluice]

oh ok

amazing thanks @earnest phoenix

[subtle kiln]

Hello! I have a simple question (I guess) but I couldn't find anything on the internet or in the documentation. How do you convert a tag (Cl00e9ment#3679) to an ID (347315660679938060) or an user object using discord.js, thanks

[earnest phoenix]

you can't really do it reliably

your best bet is to rely on user cache

[subtle kiln]

Why it's not possible ? Discord API doesn't provide a mean to do this ?

[earnest phoenix]

it doesn't

[stark abyss]

ty tim

[subtle kiln]

Is there a reason for this ? Because Discord itself can definitely do it

[earnest phoenix]

there's no reason and no it can't

the official client works off the user cache too

if the user isn't in your cache you won't mention them or get their id

[subtle kiln]

When you add a friend you provide a tag and Discord can find the user

[earnest phoenix]

that's an API endpoint exclusive to users only

[subtle kiln]

It's not a big deal if it's not possible. I was just curious why

[earnest phoenix]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client?scrollTo=users
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/UserManager?scrollTo=cache

use filter on the cache to filter for the user with the username and the discriminator, then just first() it, something like this

UserManager#cache.filter(user => user.username === username && user.discriminator === discriminator).first()

this works off the cache and it's the only way to do it

[rapid dune]

Who know write in BDscript?

[subtle kiln]

this works off the cache and it's the only way to do it
@earnest phoenix OK thanks. You said that Discord itself couldn't do it. As I said, when you add a friend, you provide a tag and Discord can find the user. Is there something that I missed ?

[earnest phoenix]

like i said that's an endpoint exclusive to users only

it's also an endpoint to add a friend not to look up users

so you're at the mercy of discord

[subtle kiln]

Ah ok. I was talking about Discord as the Client/Server. So the server can do it, there isn't a technical limitation. It's sad that we don't have access to it. Thanks for your explanations

[earnest phoenix]

ah alright

yeah unfortunately there's so many features that are locked to users only

at the same time if you look at it from a security perspective, it's the best

if it was available to bots it would get spammed, bots would keep on targeting users, just so much abuse overall

[quartz kindle]

@subtle kiln if the user in question shares guilds with your bot, and you know which guild they are in, you can

otherwise its like cry said

[subtle kiln]

@subtle kiln if the user in question shares guilds with your bot, and you know which guild they are in, you can
@quartz kindle OK so if I search the user in a particular guild it would works 100%?

[quartz kindle]

there is an endpoint/gateway call to search for a guild member by a query string, that returns all members whose usernames match the string

its not an exact username#tag search, but you can search by username

and then filter the results

[subtle kiln]

Nice, thanks a lot. I will do that

[storm basin]

Can anyone help me figure out why my cooldown error is not sending whenever the message is on cooldown and someone tries to activate it?

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
await ctx.send("Command on Cooldown")

That's just what I have so far

This is exactly what I see other people have, but it doesn't send a message in Discord whenever the command goes on Cooldown

[hollow sedge]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
await ctx.send("Command on Cooldown")
@storm basin looks good to me, you must be doing something else wrong

[storm basin]

@commands.cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user)

I just tacked that on to one of my working commands

[hollow sedge]

that also looks good

[storm basin]

I wonder what else it can be

[hollow sedge]

only thing i can think of is that you arent importing commands?

[storm basin]

The command works

[hollow sedge]

i mean from discord.ext import commands

[storm basin]

Yeah I have that

The command and cooldown works

It just doesn't send a message whenver I try to use the command when it's on cooldown

[hollow sedge]

can you send your entire script

not here but in pastebin

https://pastebin.com/

@storm basin

[faint prism]

or hastebin

python is like greek to me
@zinc sierra it's basically pseudocode though lol

[storm basin]

@hollow sedge I sent it in a DM

Ignore the weird ass commands I have

@hollow sedge

Wait

I think I'm stupid

[hollow sedge]

k give me a few mins

oh

[storm basin]

Let me try something

OH MY GOD

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIX THIS FOR LIKE 2 HOURS

DAMMIT

[hollow sedge]

lol

what did u do

[storm basin]

I completely forgot I already had on_command_error somewhere else in the file

[hollow sedge]

🤦

[storm basin]

When you asked me to copy it over I looked it over and noticed it

[hollow sedge]

so i fixed your problem :)?

[storm basin]

Thanks for your help

[hollow sedge]

lol

[storm basin]

Yeah

[solemn latch]

stealing my name i see

[outer topaz]

Don't do that

[tired nimbus]

What happens if you need windows-build-tools but dont use windows

[trim saddle]

or hastebin
@faint prism personally i'd wait for pastebin pro to open back up

[sudden geyser]

why would you need it

[trim saddle]

since hastebin doesn't have private/permanent hastes

[sudden geyser]

There was another site I knew which had its own API for pastes and had permanent pastes but I forgot the name sadly

[trim saddle]

there's a sus version of pastebin that has pro open

but it's ran on an ip so thats a nope

[faint prism]

since hastebin doesn't have private/permanent hastes
@trim saddle Then use a proper repo. I'd say the point of those platforms is quickly sharing large amounts of text. For permanence, just use a repo

[charred geyser]

can anyone give me any tips on making some sort of handler that allows my bots commands to be disabled and enabled

[pale vessel]

use a database

[charred geyser]

im using a mongodb rn and atm im using a really messy way of doing it

yea i know im just tryna tidy up

right now i just have a schema with a boolean for every command the bot has but it doesn't seem like a good way of doing it

[hollow sedge]

discord py?

[charred geyser]

js

[hollow sedge]

🤷

[charred geyser]

😦

ill figure it out :))

[hollow sedge]

just use discord py 🙂

jk use whatever u want

@charred geyser https://discord.js.org/#/docs/commando/master/commands/builtins

[charred geyser]

yeah ive looked at that

but

kinda a large rewrite

maybe its worth it

[hollow sedge]

well if you want to remove a command then maybe you should do that

[vernal rivet]

whats up?

your wanting to make a command handler?

[charred geyser]

well i have one but i want to make it a lot better

[vernal rivet]

flaze, no, thats an over kill

are you using Collection?

[charred geyser]

yeah

[pale vessel]

flaze, no, thats an over kill
@vernal rivet how else are you going to make it persistent

[vernal rivet]

ok good, don't use a db for commands. but anyways its actually pretty simple. what structure are your commands

[charred geyser]

one sec

[pale vessel]

they need a database to keep track of disabled commands

[vernal rivet]

Collection is much better for holding commands. using a db for them is kind of a overkill. unless your talking about something else then yes use a db.

not really

[pale vessel]

not for commands

why the fuck would you keep commands in a db lmao

[hollow sedge]

wait

do you mean disable per user or bot-wide

[charred geyser]

module.exports = {
  name: "name",
  category: "category",
  description: "description",
  run: async (client, message, args) => {
    //command
  }
};

lik this

do you mean disable per user or bot-wide
@hollow sedge i mean per server ig

[hollow sedge]

yeah you have to use a db for that

[charred geyser]

yea

[vernal rivet]

oh ok, so your doing module structure.

[charred geyser]

i mean

i am open to change

thats just what i have rn

[vernal rivet]

oh your trying to do it for each server. i mean db would be the best, but you don't really need a good db tbh. a local sqlite file will work

[charred geyser]

i have a mongo db

[pale vessel]

now you're telling a db would be best xd

[vernal rivet]

[hollow sedge]

@pale vessel thats cause he didnt make it clear where he wanted to disable it

[charred geyser]

[vernal rivet]

i didn't realized what he wanted i was guessing to disable commands everyone

[charred geyser]

yeah sorry i should have been clearer

[vernal rivet]

you're fine. yea i mean you could use mongodb, idk how fast it is. the reason why i say a local sqlite would work is that it would be faster to use and get data from, rather than a remote db. as you are probably going to have it get data from the db constantly in the message event, so it is better to go with an option that will not take too much time. but it really is up to you.

[charred geyser]

yeah i guess that makes sense

and in terms of handers how would it work?

[vernal rivet]

depends on how you want to implement it, and how it will work. but the solution would probably have a if check in the message event, that checks if the guild has that command disabled or not, if so, then return. that is probably the best way to do it.

[charred geyser]

yeah

alright thanks

[vernal rivet]

np

[charred geyser]

ill see what i can figure

[vernal rivet]

yert

enmap would be a good idea to use, or quick.db. both work as a local db. me personally like enmap more than quick.db, but i know that quick.db is easier to understand than enmap.

[hasty mulch]

How often can the topic be changed before Discord kicks in with the rate limits?

[vernal rivet]

tbh i never actually thought about that lipd. the answer could be on google if you have checked yet.

[earnest phoenix]

How to start run.bat file on Glitch.com
Using package.json

[old cliff]

You can use keyv

It works with many dbs

[vernal rivet]

i don't think you can do that happy. from what my knowledge is, that glitch is a pain to deal with. you could probably use process.cwd to execute it, but you would need to call on a js file to do that.

wait not cwd

hold on, let me read something

[old cliff]

Glitch doesn't allow bot hosting now

You can use heroku

[earnest phoenix]

[old cliff]

But that resets sqlite dbs everything so you can't use enmap with that

Heroku is also 100% free

[earnest phoenix]

Dyno hours sort

[old cliff]

Yep

[earnest phoenix]

Glitch doesn't allow bot hosting now
@old cliff allow still

But 5m

[old cliff]

Or use repl.it

[earnest phoenix]

I try

[old cliff]

I also know free hosts but posting server links is not allowed

[pale vessel]

thank you for reading the rules xd

most people don't do that

[icy jolt]

Hey what uh coding app do you guys recommend?

[pale vessel]

vsc, sublime text

[vernal rivet]

pc application, vscode

[icy jolt]

They will work for Discord Bots?

[pale vessel]

yes

any editor would do

[icy jolt]

Oki

Thanks

[pale vessel]

i use npp even

[icy jolt]

Vscode is downloading

[vernal rivet]

O,o why npp

[pale vessel]

just works for me

[vernal rivet]

npp tbh is gross ngl

[pale vessel]

some people don't like hearing that

[sudden geyser]

The code editor/IDE you use may also depend on what you're doing. For example, Python has PyCharm, but for the most part, having a code editor like Visual Studio Code is satisfactory.

[vernal rivet]

i mean you use what you want, but like why ;-; npp is just gross to look at in my opinion

[pale vessel]

idk, solarized doesn't look that bad

[vernal rivet]

vscode is just the go-to-go text editor most people use

[pale vessel]

plus it's portable

[vernal rivet]

very

[pale vessel]

i'm not convincing anybody at least, you can use whatever you want to code, as long as it works

[icy jolt]

Hey could I have a mentor? (I guess you would call it) this is my first time doing this me and my brother are having a competition who can 1.make it first and 2. make it best. He already has one and has started but I havent started and dont have a mentor?

[pale vessel]

don't use windows notepad though

[vernal rivet]

i mean i recommend vscode for newer people. i don't think npp or atom is good one for newer people to use

[icy jolt]

Noted

I am downloading vscode

[pale vessel]

yeah, i didn't suggest npp to them since it's not good for most people

[vernal rivet]

i know you didn't

[pale vessel]

all right

[icy jolt]

Hey Korean... Since clearly you use/have used vscode. Could you maybe help me make the bot? this is my first time doing this me and my brother are having a competition who can 1.make it first and 2. make it best. He already has one and has started but I havent started and dont have a mentor?

[earnest phoenix]

All Modules Are There But There Is A Problem

[pale vessel]

you can't use duration.format() without a plugin

[vernal rivet]

sure. https://discordjs.guide/#before-you-begin

if you want to use py, then idk if there is guides for d.py

[pale vessel]

@earnest phoenix install https://www.npmjs.com/package/moment-duration-format

[icy jolt]

I downloaded vscode

[vernal rivet]

are you wanting to use Javascript or Python?

[icy jolt]

Python I think?

[pale vessel]

depends on what language you want to code in, make sure you learn the basics first or setting up a bot will be hell

[icy jolt]

Well

um

[pale vessel]

do you know python basics?

[icy jolt]

I downloaded it on an old computer just never got to it

[pale vessel]

if not, i suggest learning it first (https://www.w3schools.com/python/ for example)

[icy jolt]

So 1st step I am guessing. Go back and learn a coding language

[pale vessel]

yes

[vernal rivet]

||i sure hell don't know python. i programmed in it before, and absolutely hated it, so i am just much help when it comes to py||

[pale vessel]

take your time

don't code a bot without knowing the programming language since it'll make it worse

[vernal rivet]

^^^^^^

[icy jolt]

Okay yeah my brothers helper is just telling him what to type n stuff

[vernal rivet]

knowledge is like 80% of what programming is tbh

[icy jolt]

Thanks I will read this tomorrow that way I can actually pay attention

[pale vessel]

80% knowledge 20% errors

[vernal rivet]

yert.

[icy jolt]

@pale vessel The thing you sent I dont see where to learn a coding "language"

Do I just press next?

[vernal rivet]

yert

[icy jolt]

Does Discord take all Coding Languages?

[solemn latch]

its an api, so yes?

[icy jolt]

Oh okay

[tame kestrel]

Does Discord take all Coding Languages?
@icy jolt Just to clarify, since discord provides us with websockets, we can use code to talk to discord. It doesn't really matter the language, some languages have an easier time with websockets, while others need some help.

[icy jolt]

Okay, Thank you!

[solemn latch]

you could technically make a bot with a batch script

[icy jolt]

Would the code language affect how the bot works?

[solemn latch]

only up to the point of the capabilities of the language. any "proper" language should have no real limitations of what you can do

[waxen tinsel]

^

[hollow sedge]

it will be easier to use a language with an updated api wrapper though

[solemn latch]

my bots written in emojicode
https://www.emojicode.org/docs/guides/compile-and-run.html

^ joking btw

[hollow sedge]

Seems like a fun way to start programming tho

[earnest phoenix]

Have I ever made a mistake here?

[pale vessel]

is there an error?

[earnest phoenix]

yea

[pale vessel]

what is it

[pale vessel]

so require("moment-duration-format")(moment);

[earnest phoenix]

I'm a try again 1 min

nothing has changed ;/

[pale vessel]

can you show me the code

[pale vessel]

seems like your old code should've worked too

[earnest phoenix]

Yes unfortunately

@pale vessel Ok, I found the problem, fixed it, thanks for the help

[pale vessel]

seems to be working fine, even on runkit

ah, nice

[earnest phoenix]

🙂

[pale vessel]

yes

[icy jolt]

Sup brother

Didnt think I would find you here

Bro why expose me like that

[pale vessel]

[tame kestrel]

@earnest phoenix Why the mass pinging

Please be patient, it's not everyone's responsibility to help you.

What do you need help with

Looks fine to me

What's the problem

What are you trying to say yes to

[fluid pivot]

I just boosted the server

[tame kestrel]

npm init -y creates a file called package.json in the folder your PS is at.

So from there, you can install npm packages, and create a few files to get started

Since you're in this server, I assume you would like to create a discord bot, let me pull up some guides to help you out

https://anidiots.guide/
https://rollout.io/blog/node-js-tutorial/
https://discord.js.org/#/

That statement, the PS C:/Files > Thing is where your shell is located

It's like files on your system, so like right now, you're located in your downloads folder, inside a folder called New Folder

You can also look up tutorials on how to use cmd or powershell online.

Please read through the links I gave you and see if you can try making a bot yourself, come here when you need help

[hollow sedge]

im trying to send a leaderboard in a codeblock like this

anyone know what lang i should use for coloring

[deft kestrel]

Can someone figure out how to use pipes or a similar type of communication between two child processes in NodeJS

[fluid basin]

just use the built-in process IPC using child_process#fork

[tame kestrel]

Has anyone used the discord.js in the browser

[pale vessel]

tim has

he test stuff using it iirc

[blissful coral]

@quartz kindle

get in here

What language

[tame kestrel]

@earnest phoenix I usually don't tell people to use a different guide or anything, but seriously consider using the https://anidiots.guide/ tutorial, they walk you through node.js and all that from the ground up

[blissful coral]

And lib

yeah lmao

this is really bad guidew

[tame kestrel]

The guide you have pulled up looks like an article with as much words as possible in order to get google traffic

[pale vessel]

i skimmed through it and it didnt make since

[blissful coral]

https://discordjs.guide

[pale vessel]

well what do you expect

[blissful coral]

also good one

[tame kestrel]

https://anidiots.guide/getting-started/getting-started-long-version

Start here to setup node.js

https://anidiots.guide/first-bot/your-first-bot

Start here to start your bot development

[blissful coral]

Read those

Word for word

Then come back with questions once you have

[tame kestrel]

You should restart, if you don't know what you're doing then you won't get far treading in unknown territory.

[delicate shore]

I want it to forcefully remove

How can I

[tame kestrel]

read the error, it seems like the /var/lib/apache2 wasn't empty or something

[delicate shore]

Yes

[tame kestrel]

check whats inside that folder, if it's something you don't want, rm it

[delicate shore]

I want it to forcefully remove
@delicate shore

check whats inside that folder, if it's something you don't want, rm it
@tame kestrel I don't want anything

In dat

[tame kestrel]

rm -r /var/lib/apache2

[delicate shore]

kk

[tame kestrel]

check if it exists, maybe it just cleaned itself up?

[delicate shore]

lemme check

Yea it did

But in terminal it shows they exist

[old cliff]

Use sudo rm

If you have trouble next time

[tame kestrel]

Just keep reading the discord.js guide!

🙂

[vernal rivet]

?

Why are you trying to do that in ps? If you want to make your program through command line, then use either nano, vim, or vi

I mean are you new to programming?

[sonic lodge]

you need a text editor to write code

[vernal rivet]

False

[sonic lodge]

wdym 'false'

[vernal rivet]

Ok then I recommend you look into using an application called visual studio code. Vscode as what most people call it, is a lightweight text editor. It's what most of us use when we are programming. It's much better for newer people to use this than nano or vim

You don't exactly need a text editor to make a program pool. Anything that allows you to edit a file and put text in can be used to program. It's not efficient but it works

Ok ok ok. One thing at a time, let me grab laptop so I can keep up

[sonic lodge]

while you do that please educate me and tell me why you said 'false' lol

[vernal rivet]

I already explain why

[glacial trench]

lol

[sonic lodge]

when

[vernal rivet]

Technically anything can be used to program something. As long it can edit the the text in a file it can be used to program. Its not efficient but it works

[sonic lodge]

yee so if it can edit a text file it's a text editor

😎

[vernal rivet]

including notepad

but you can do it through a console. touch command is a thing, and you can use nano and vim. i prefer vim over nano any day of the week except sundays, cause thats my me day

anyways

ok first question

yessir

oofers

but yes that is the one

bruh where is the fucking backlit button on my laptop. i know it exist, but where is it

i don't click it

https://code.visualstudio.com

np

found it

fuck it was fn + space bar

uhhhhhhhhhh sure, we can go with that

[sonic lodge]

are you here to program or talk about magic 😐

[vernal rivet]

great question

[sonic lodge]

i mean, the channel's called #development

[vernal rivet]

ok ok ok, back on topic. so you had another question for me

ok, so i will explain stuff, but it be very beneficial if you where to read about some of the stuff talk about here, and about the language. but let me know if i am going full on programming talk, as i sometimes forget who i am talking to might not understand what i am saying

you don't so the thing is that you make the program. You don't throw code at it and expect it to work. thats kind of like throwing your game disc at your console, and expect it to play the game.

you have to write instructions for it. very detail instructions

oofers

because the bot is being ran locally. actually your making the bot. your program is the bot. the bot in discord is a shell. but in programming your bot is the program

ehhhhh not really. i mean in a way yes, but not really. you are putting code in it, but your actually just calling on the bot's token, and telling it what to do.

you're fine

[pale vessel]

did you read the guide

[vernal rivet]

i mean most people put it in a .env file.

mhm, thats because its not a command that ps knows.

flaze thats a good question

[earnest phoenix]

Why was i mentioned

[vernal rivet]

ok, so powershell is not what you will use to write the program. ps was only to make the package.json file, and to install the packages that you need. thats all it does, minus running your program

vscode is what you will be using to write your program

[earnest phoenix]

Sigh message was removed

[vernal rivet]

yes

but you will be seeing it, or at least command prompt, but thats when you are ready to run the bot, or test it.

tbh it is. at least for me it is

[faint prism]

Hmm could probably make a bot in Powershell tbh

[vernal rivet]

you're fine, there is no reason to apologize about that. we all start somewhere. heck, when i started, i took the hard way out. ||i started on cpp, the language that most people would say is bruted to learn as your first langauge||

you can

but you would need to use nano, or vime

vim*

[faint prism]

no?

[vernal rivet]

i mean you could use the touch command

[faint prism]

I mean you could make a ps1 script

[vernal rivet]

oh right thats a thing

[faint prism]

lmao

[vernal rivet]

fucking ps being like this

[faint prism]

I'm not talking about editing the bot via a powershell terminal. I'm talking in the scripting language

[vernal rivet]

fucking ps and it shit. why can it be like command prompt

[faint prism]

wdym

powershell is just superior to windows batch in every way

[vernal rivet]

god i hate the look that it starts with, can't stand it.

i mean fair

[faint prism]

They made it to succeed it really

[vernal rivet]

anyways you make a file called index.js and then read the guides

[faint prism]

oh look neat
https://github.com/EvotecIT/PSDiscord

[vernal rivet]

WAIT ACTUALLY

THE FUCK

oh wait

thats justj a webhook stuff

i thought it was to make a bot with LMAO

[faint prism]

I mean, looks like nobody has done it yet

But it's just api calls

so, you could do it, and make a library for it

[vernal rivet]

true

what it said sounds about right.

Command-Line Interface = CLI

editor is vscode

CLI would be your powershell

what guide are you looking at?

ok, what does your index.js file look like?

hover your cursor over the section in red it should say something

what does it say?

oh? is your file extension ts or js?

is line 4 the client.login()?

yea no keep it js

oh is it in the problems section?

can you ss only that section?

i just want that line

do you not have a snippt tool?

[faint prism]

oof lol

[vernal rivet]

oh ok

strings

your good

[vernal rivet]

so your problem is a syntax error.

[faint prism]

1. Not specifying that text as a string
2. Wtf is that
3. No token

[vernal rivet]

they should be encased in "", or `` or ''

the token is removed because it was hard coded in. not in a .env file

also

yea your good

actually thats a shitty answer, don't read that

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String

[lofty musk]

Hi

[vernal rivet]

hello

[shy steeple]

@lofty musk it takes 4-5 business days for your bot to be reviewed

[faint prism]

@earnest phoenix It's obvious you don't know Javascript. Which is kinda tough to make a Discord bot *in Javascript without knowing that

[vernal rivet]

i mean thats quicker than my life

[faint prism]

no

same issue as last

[lofty musk]

i created my bot on Sep, 17th 2020 and i want to know when my bot can get reviewed by discord, to get bot verified tick?

[shy steeple]

i created my bot on Sep, 17th 2020 and i want to know when my bot can get reviewed by discord, to get bot verified tick?
@lofty musk apply for verification

[lofty musk]

@lofty musk it takes 4-5 business days for your bot to be reviewed
@shy steeple IDC i already know THAT

YEs

[vernal rivet]

i mean there is some progress

[lofty musk]

but i'm asking

[shy steeple]

What

[lofty musk]

how long

do i have to wait

[shy steeple]

For what

[lofty musk]

cause i can't apply yet

[faint prism]

It takes 5 weeks

[vernal rivet]

it took my bot like 2 monthes i believe

[faint prism]

@faint prism whats the issue
@earnest phoenix You don't know Javascript's syntax. That's the issue

grammar

[lofty musk]

my bot is in 103 guilds but i can't verify it yet because it says application isn't ready yet (not old enough)

[faint prism]

At least make an effort to learn the language before doing a Discord bot

I recommend w3schools

[vernal rivet]

console.log("something); // Incorrect
console.log("something"); // correct

[faint prism]

Well uh is there a book
@earnest phoenix yeah, but even better there are tons of websites and resources online like this
https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

[vernal rivet]

even discord markdown doesn't like that

[faint prism]

plenty of resources really

[vernal rivet]

thats more than the days i seen sun light, which is close to 0

event.on("something"), () => 
{
  console.log("wrong");
}

event.on("something", () =>
{
  console.log("right");
});

[faint prism]

have you looked at discord.js' example

on https://discord.js.org/#/

where it has this

lol

People take classes for learning programming languages

Wont hurt to read the documentation at least

[vernal rivet]

is it ok if i am using allman brace style in js i think its fine right auger?

[faint prism]

Also fine

is it ok if i am using allman brace style in js :milk_think: i think its fine right auger?
@vernal rivet a bit against convention but fine lol

[vernal rivet]

LOL

[faint prism]

no. It takes like 6 weeks to get approved and added here

[vernal rivet]

cause it is

[faint prism]

That's when you read the error log

If there isn't an error, you're missing code or have a logic error

[vernal rivet]

or you didn't run the bot

[pearl trail]

uh

why u type node mybot.js there

client.login("your_bot_token")

then open terminal in vsc, new terminal, and type node mybot.js there

oh

oh yes, cencored

[vernal rivet]

or you can do ctrl + shift + c to open command prompt

your require statement needs discord.js to be a string

[pearl trail]

use caps

const Discord = require('discord.js')

[vernal rivet]

both work

usually you would use " for strings, and ' for chars, but in javascript it doesn't matter, as they are for either one.

[pearl trail]

owh, both..

yes

you forgot 'discord.js'

u just type (discord.js)

[vernal rivet]

they are new to programming

[pearl trail]

yes..

change the const client = new discord.client(); to const client = new Discord.client();, because you use const Discord = require('discord.js')

save the project...

your code is right

[compact briar]

^

[pearl trail]

but in error log, it said
const discord = require(discord.js) without ' ' between discord.js

nonono

[vernal rivet]

if you see the white dot at the top it means it is unsaved

[pearl trail]

yes, add it

and, don't forget to save it before running the bot by ctrl+s

[compact briar]

i would recommend watching some YouTube vids. there are some good ones out there that will teach you how to get started.

[vernal rivet]

Discord.Client

[pearl trail]

caps, yes...

[vernal rivet]

case sensitive

[pearl trail]

caps is important ;-;

Client

const client = new Discord.Client();

no no

without ' '

[compact briar]

you also need to fix lines 9&10

you dont have either of those defined.
if you want it to be what the message contains, it needs to be a string.

you have to save it

before you run it.

every time you change something. you have to save it.

you need to go watch videos on how to create the bot. they will help you a lot on everything you need to do to get started.

client.on("message", async message => {
``` if you want it Asynchronous , if not delete the async

[pearl trail]

const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if(command === "ping") {
 const m = await message.channel.send("Ping?"); m.edit(`Pong! Latency is ${m.createdTimestamp - message.createdTimestamp}ms. API Latency is ${Math.round(client.ping)}ms`); } 
});```
test

yes, like that

[compact briar]

no

the second message is not a string

[pearl trail]

have you save the project? why the error is still in new Discord.Client();

[compact briar]

client.on("message", async message => {
``` if you want it Asynchronous , if not delete the async

it needs to be 100% like that

also after you save. rerun it. the error is showing uncapitalized letters, which doesn't match your code

[pearl trail]

change all 8th line to client.on("message", async message => {

[compact briar]

youre missing a )

read the error message

[vernal rivet]

line 12
})

[pearl trail]

so, it like

   if (message.content.startsWith("hi")) {
   message.channel.send("hewo");
   }
});```

no,

[compact briar]

yes if it is not defined anywhere else

[pearl trail]

can you send full code here?

ah, i'm not using my laptop rn,, so i can't test...

[compact briar]

dude honestly go watch some videos. its been an hour in this channel of just trying to get the basics up and running. it will help you alot

[pearl trail]

no error?

[compact briar]

thats good

yes

[pearl trail]

yes

[compact briar]

yes

[pearl trail]

yes

your bot aren't using prefix...

just type hi, and your bot will reply..

[compact briar]

i mean this in the nicest way. this isnt a page for us to write you bot for you. ik its challenging for some but it shows you are very new to this.

there are endless sources that can help you online. youtube is a great start if youve never done anything like this before. they will get into detail on how to get started with everything, after that you can decide what you want your bot to do.

also be careful to never show your bots token in here, since you have it in your main file rn

[pearl trail]

everyone who have your bot token, can use your bot...

[compact briar]

and they wont be using it for a good cause..

[leaden rover]

I can't seem to get my help command to work all of a sudden... I can't post code here, since its over 2k characters...

[pearl trail]

hastebin

[leaden rover]

Do I use Help_command=None or bot.remove_command(help)

Good idea

But hastebin won't let me save :/

[pearl trail]

[slender thistle]

I'd use bot.remove_command

[boreal iron]

U forgot to close ur if statement with another }

The }) closes ur async message function

np

[earnest phoenix]

is there a code already put out there for having a command that could restart a bot (coded in python)

[compact briar]

its message.content
not
message.context

[clever dust]

const table = sequelize.define('add', {
    string:{
        type: Sequelize.STRING
    }
})


table.findAll().then(e => {

console.log(e[0].dataValues)

    for(let i = 0; a < e.length; i++){
   console.log(`element ${i} : ${e[i].dataValues}`)
   }

   })

why do i get element 1 : [object Object] on the for loop, but i get actual data values from console.log(e[0].dataValues)

[boreal iron]

imma not working with templates, but I'm not sure u cant log a string and object in the same template, but this should work:

const table = sequelize.define('add',
{
    string:
    {
        type: Sequelize.STRING
    }
});


table.findAll().then(e =>
{
    console.log(e[0].dataValues);

    for(let i = 0; i < e.length; i++)
    {
        console.log(`element ${i} :`);
        console.log(e[i].dataValues);
    }
});

and btw for(let i = 0; a < e.length; a++) should be for(let a = 0; a < e.length; a++) or for(let i = 0; i < e.length; i++)

[clever dust]

yeah, i got a typo

[boreal iron]

whatever u like more more, lel

[clever dust]

i edited it

yep, it works, thanks

[sweet ruin]

Hello! I am trying to figure out how to call upon these models and update them individually in mongo.db (js)
Now This is the whole model:

const newTeamScores = new mongoose.Schema({

    teamDawn: {Number, default: 0},
    
    teamDusk: {Number, default: 0},
    
})

module.exports = new mongoose.model('teamScores', newTeamScores)

And This is how I am trying to save them

newTeamScores.teamDawn = args[1]
await newTeamScores.teamDawn.save()

Could Anyone Help Me? (This is a Index.js Only File BTW)
Please Ping Me :3

[honest perch]

Slow database?

Bad connection?

[sweet ruin]

yeah

Can anyone help me? #development message

[honest perch]

it works fine on my beta bot in 2 servers, but on my main bot in 600 guilds its slow. im using atlas btw
@low orbit can you share the code you are using to fetch the prefix

What would happen if you didn't use await

Apart from that I'm not really sure, my db with thousands of documents fetches fine in seconds

[pale vessel]

mongoose supports promises

[solid snow]

i feel like this is a really silly question but can i get the guild id with something else other than message.guild.id?

[pale vessel]

like what

everything that has something to do with guild like member and presence have the guild property

[solid snow]

Well I was trying to get the guild id in the ready event which obviously doesnt have any messages

[pale vessel]

channel and roles too

what guild id lol

[solid snow]

maybe thats not even possible idk

[pale vessel]

there's no context

[solid snow]

OHHH

yeah

oops

[boreal iron]

The ready event contains all guilds in a guilds array

[pale vessel]

not everyone makes their own wrapper

they're probably using discord.js which doesn't provide anything in the ready event

[boreal iron]

the djs ready event is not the gateway ready event

[pale vessel]

exactly

[earnest phoenix]

how start launcher.py file on glitch.com

ok

error

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[sweet ruin]

Can anyone help me? #development message

[slender thistle]

Is that where the syntax error is occurring @earnest phoenix

Send the code around it

[tame kestrel]

If I have an auth code that expires, what HTTP response code will I get back if I try to fetch from the api?

[rose warren]

I'm running a bot on 3 shards, 3,200 guilds. I noticed the CPU on my VPS is going crazy. Any ideas why? It never got this loaded pre-sharding.

[earnest phoenix]

@slender thistle dm

[boreal iron]

@tame kestrel Depends on the API ur speaking about. I would return code 401 based on ur example.

[tame kestrel]

@tame kestrel Depends on the API ur speaking about. I would return code 401 based on ur example.
@boreal iron I forgot to mention it's discord's api. I guess since it'll be a dead code, It'll be unauthorized like you said

[boreal iron]

I guess they respect the "industrial standards" which would be 401 in this case, since it's unauthorized

[tame kestrel]

Makes sense

[stone meteor]

I dont know why but my <style> tag doesn't work in detailed description

[slender thistle]

@earnest phoenix I don't know what the fuck is wrong with your code

[earnest phoenix]

lol

[slender thistle]

but the one you sent me doesn't have invalid syntax

[stone meteor]

@slender thistle do you know why I can't use the style tag in long description ?

[boreal iron]

did u close the tag?

[slender thistle]

show how you're entering the rules

[stone meteor]

did u close the tag?
Yep

  <style>
   body {
    border: 1px solid black;
    }
    h1 {
    color: blue;
    }
   </style>```

[mossy basin]

Sa

[stone meteor]

using this for text but does not work @slender thistle (do i have to use inline styles) ?

[delicate shore]

I am gonna send 4 screenshots here be ready

It gives an error

Here

Where as sub domains work

[boreal iron]

Clear your cache on ur mobile device, works well for me

[delicate shore]

Oh it works

Thanks

[earnest phoenix]

[delicate shore]

I should probably delete link it might count as self promotion

[earnest phoenix]

nice website

[delicate shore]

Thnx

[earnest phoenix]

no

its fine

[delicate shore]

I deleted it.

But I'll leave the question

[jaunty flume]

Does anyone know a way of filtering YouTube videos with the Data API for NSFW content if I already have the ID (so I can't use safe search)?

[stone meteor]

Why does the style tag doesn't work in my long description

[drowsy kite]

how do i resolve this

???

[delicate shore]

It gives invalid protocol error

I can't take ss because of a reason

[slender thistle]

@stone meteor Use Developer Tools in your browser, see what styling overwrites yours

[wicked pivot]

                     ^

TypeError: Cannot set property 'casino' of undefined```

[stone meteor]

@slender thistle nothing overwrites it but still it won't work ( inline styling is working )

[wicked pivot]

I may be doing it wrong but I would like to separate the commands in different folder how to do?

[willow mirage]

@delicate shore thx for your IP

:))

code913 imma quit that project

[earnest phoenix]

Does discord.js have support for OAuth?

[delicate shore]

@delicate shore thx for your IP
@willow mirage
Bruh
It's GitHub ip n

It's Public always

[earnest phoenix]

Does discord.js have support for OAuth?
or do i need to use discord-oauth package?

[honest perch]

@earnest phoenix nice site

@earnest phoenix https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport-discord

i suggest using this as its for passport

[earnest phoenix]

wut

y pong

[honest perch]

oh nvm its pggamers

sorry for the ping

[earnest phoenix]

i mean my non exisnt website is nice

[tulip ledge]

@wicked pivot if u make ur loadcommands a function u can use fs to check if the file in ur commands folder is a directory, then u just run the function again but on that directory

[wicked pivot]

I succeeded thank you anyway, now I try to do a clean help with this

[full flower]

What syntax is used to send a custom emoticon? I tried <:name:id> with no luck. It just displays as :name: 🤔

[earnest phoenix]

What syntax is used to send a custom emoticon? I tried <:name:id> with no luck. It just displays as :name:
@full flower you have to put a: before the name so <a:name:id> iirc

[full flower]

@earnest phoenix hmmm, weird, it still displays as :name: 😮

[earnest phoenix]

does the bot have permission to use external emotes in the server?

[full flower]

ooh that could be it! permissions! let's see

ah, @earnest phoenix I thought that was it. Though, the bot has administrator permissions... It still isn't working

[viscid gale]

oh... about that hard problem, it wasnt solved owo.. the code i had worked better cuz at least it was accurate :{

ok this following question is logically difficult(for me at least)

now i tried a 1 kyu problem(don't ask me y xD) and i chose the chess challenge
https://www.codewars.com/kata/5985ea20695be6079e000003

below shows an example of what my code gives, then what was an expected outcome
the problem im facing is that although i can successfully place down queens that do not check each other, i cannot place ENOUGH safe queens in the board

Q.....
..Q...
....Q.
.Q....
...Q..
......

....Q.
..Q...
Q.....
.....Q
...Q..
.Q....

to the chess dudes out here, any advice?
thanks in advanced

oh they r dudes who could help huh

i didn't ping u guys btw

[earnest phoenix]

should i make a tic tac toe game or a game like coinmaster by quantumcat?

[viscid gale]

or a number guessing game

depends on the context, what game would be suited

[earnest phoenix]

idk

whatever you want

[viscid gale]

hmm since that question is gonna remain unanswered for a while(meaning i prob gotta learn the answer for myself as that is one of the hardest challenges on codewars), i'll ask something that can be answered

is it possible to have an embed that acts like an iframe?

like embed to an ngrok host that you have connection with so you could have a live hosting?

just how an iframe would load another page, not just info from another page, can embeds load a page itself?

[vale garden]

[earnest phoenix]

I just got ghost pinged in here

[viscid gale]

yea

for my question above

#development message

and i didn't do the ghost pinging, someone did

[earnest phoenix]

When you run a puppeteer instance, do script tags on pages get run?

[viscid gale]

what r u trying to do

there is page.evaluate, where script gets run sorta like in browser eval function

bruhhhhhhhh

@earnest phoenix pinged u guys

;] can't delete my msg

LMFAO

the cap is real

srsly r they ppl that can help with my problems tho?

for #development message

[earnest phoenix]

there is page.evaluate, where script gets run sorta like in browser eval function
@viscid gale no i mean like if there are script tags on the page does it block them from being executed (security protection) or does it run them automatically or do i have to manually tell it to block/run them?

[viscid gale]

the entire page is run

script tags, html, all of it

[earnest phoenix]

@viscid gale no i mean like if there are script tags on the page does it block them from being executed (security protection) or does it run them automatically or do i have to manually tell it to block/run them?
@earnest phoenix if the script tag gets sent by the server, they get executed. if they get created USING javascript, they dont run

ok

time to take revenge on glitch for wrecking my stuff by having it run massive scripts

[viscid gale]

how on earth do u not know how servers work??

[earnest phoenix]

||just kidding||

[halcyon torrent]

I have got pinged here; what happened ?

[viscid gale]

a problem that seemingly nobody can logically solve or explain
#development message

also scroll up i said who pinged u

[vale garden]

help anyone?

#development message

[viscid gale]

@vale garden paste the debug log in here
