Lemme check the docs
Yes I fixed it
So if you use discord.py with the commands extension then you can do something like:
@bot.command()
async def mycommand (ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):
await ctx.send("Channel ID is "+str(channel.id))
@drifting wedge ^
Also nice discriminator

What else we can do
Instead of a function
in module.export
what are other things
Like I have a thing
cat: function cat () {}
So person has to do api.cat()
Is there any way he just do api.cat
abstract perch
Heyy, so, I would like to have two not just one (awaitMessages actions). So the bot asks you for something, then it collects your response. But if I want to have another await Message action it will straight go there without waiting for me to response the old question.
Here's an example:
Like, is there a way to set different parameters for both of them and have an await action between them?
message.channel.send('What title?')
.then(function () {
message.channel.awaitMessages(response => message.content, {
max: 1,
time: 3000,
errors: ['time'],
}).then(function () {
message.channel.send('What Description')
message.channel.awaitMessages(response => message.content, {
max: 1,
time: 3000,
errors: ['time'],
})
});
});
Really? Hm
earnest phoenix
@abstract perch You don't have to create different awaitReactions or whatever
You should use a Message Collector
abstract perch
Tried that but didn't have any luck
earnest phoenix
And iterate through every question
abstract perch
Probably I am doing it the wrong way
earnest phoenix
Want me to show you an example?
abstract perch
channel.awaitMessages(filter, { max: 4, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] })
.then(collected => console.log(collected.size))
.catch(collected => console.log(`After a minute, only ${collected.size} out of 4 voted.`));```You mean that?
earnest phoenix
Nah
abstract perch
Oh
If you could, go ahead 🙂
I will be more than happy
I will be here so do not worry, I am not leaving

Wow, thank you bro

so its a json object which is a promise

So i need to resolve it ?

@earnest phoenix Would like to thank you so much mate. I would let you know how it goes

"seperate the answers with parameters" what params
delicate shore
<@!587663056046391302> Where did you put that
I put them in module.export
pale vessel
Can you show the file

ok

@abstract perch I literally tested what i wrote and logged the questions to console at the end, idk what you're trying to do

delicate shore
this is how I am doing all
earnest phoenix
@delicate shore What are you trying to do?
delicate shore
return a joke
pale vessel
Why not make it an async function and use await
abstract perch
Hm let me see
queen needle
^^ i did some backwards thing to get the function working one of them would be more of a help to you
earnest phoenix
Both returns a promise so not making the function async would be a bruh moment
earnest phoenix
What's the error
queen needle
what exactly did you try tho
delicate shore
Wanna see the code
pale vessel
Can you show the whole code lol
delicate shore
let res = await fetch("https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random")
let json = await res.json()
return json```I tried this as well
pale vessel
res.json()
delicate shore
Yes
hazy sparrow
How do i make it that if someone presses a reaction the bot does somehing? Is there a event for that or what? D.js v12
earnest phoenix
Use reaction collectors
pale vessel
I would use ```js
module.exports = {
cnjoke: async () => {
const res = await fetch("https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random");
const json = await res.json();
return json;
}
};
// some other file
const functions = require("script.js");
const joke = await functions.cnjoke();
@earnest phoenix I am trying to make an embed builder so you do ?embed then you answer every question and then every response will have its own argument/parameter and it will be placed inside a different ${bracket}
Like, collecting the answers and placing them in different places into an embed
earnest phoenix
Then, build the embed on whatever i showed in the end event and map through them by placing it in the embed wherever you want
pale vessel
@delicate shore or instead of using files you can use a one line code const joke = await (await fetch("https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random")).json();
delicate shore
I would use ```js
module.exports = {
cnjoke: async () => {
const res...
I am using async in other functions like this
joke: async function joke(){}
and it's working
as well
const insulter = require('insult');

try {
insulter.Insult();

how can i add commands to my bot

with code
pale vessel
commands.add(commandName[, callback])
delicate shore
i dont even use await
earnest phoenix
make a sacrifice to discord gods
earnest phoenix
@abstract perch I suspect, this is what you're looking for?
It didn't place the footer because the raw data isn't actually called footer
earnest phoenix
i dont even use await
That error occurs inside the function itself not in your syntax
Which the function you used did use await inside it but it isn't an async function
abstract perch
<@304704832000753685> I suspect, this is what you're looking for?
yes
earnest phoenix
Then you can build the embed with it, i just rewrote the last part of what i already sent
collector.on("end", () => message.channel.send({
embed: questions.reduce((acc, current) => (acc[current.asked.split(" ")[1].slice(0, -1)] = current.response, acc), {})

like, how can I define what's title and what's the description?
By questions

I got an error
await is only valid in async function

abstract perch
Yeah, can't get it to work properly, the format is way to weird
the embed I mean.
Like, I can't define which is a title and which is a desc
earnest phoenix
You define them, by questions
abstract perch
embed: questions.reduce((acc, current) => (acc[current.asked.split(" ")[1].slice(0, -1)] = current.response, acc), {})
abstract perch
No, it takes the desc as a title
or no
no
sorry
Let's say I want to add the last one
earnest phoenix
The last one?
earnest phoenix
What do you mean by that
Oh yea
I meant that as a joke but it should be footer, you should predefine some of the properties which the properties of the questions are supposed to be inside that pre-defined property
Because footer is supposed to be an object
See
pale vessel
I see
earnest phoenix
Or if you want, you could just pre define all the methods that should be used for a embed property like
// Questions
let questions = [
{
question: "What title?",
response: "",
method: Discord.MessageEmbed.prototype.setTitle
},
{
question: "What description?",
response: "",
method: Discord.MessageEmbed.prototype.setDescription
},
{
question: "What footer?",
response: "",
method: Discord.MessageEmbed.prototype.setFooter
}
];
// After the collector finished
let embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed();
questions[0].method.bind(embed)(questions[0].response);
// And so on
message.channel.send(embed);```

Well, `message.delete()` usually does it, assuming discord.js
No, is a javascript function tho?
umbral zealot
It's a method of the discord.js Message class.
"javascript" is a language, but that doesn't tell us what library you're using, and every library does this differently.
zealous helm
Does discord.js us javascript
umbral zealot
yes.

Yes

It depends. Do you want to delete that embed on a reaction? Or how?
zealous helm
What 😂
umbral zealot
I'm confused here. You should know what you want to do - this is your bot, you made it, we can't tell you what you want to do.
I've been helping people code bot for 4 years, if you want help, you have to ask the right things and answer the right questions.
The question was: what is the trigger for you deleting the message? How do you want to tell the bot to delete it?
You're not going to get anywhere starting from scratch.
Are you not able to answer the question I asked? I can help you if you do.
No one can help you if you can't answer that question.
Deleting your message pretending our conversation didn't happen isn't helpful either
you're removing very important context for people to understand what's going on.

I need to delete a Command for deleting the post my bot makes, please help. Javascript will work

Yes

discord.js?
zealous helm
Javascript will work

<message>.delete() is the easiest way
well there are different libraries which one do you use?
zealous helm
Idk what that means
zealous helm
quartz kindle
is that bot designer? lol
umbral zealot
If that BDFD? They're a special little snowflake, you'll need to ask on their server for help on how to use it.
zealous helm
I can't
old latch
are you banned?
zealous helm
I am
quartz kindle
why lol

how did you pull that off

I'm guessing behavioural issues and getting angry that people ask questions when they want to help? 
earnest phoenix

well anyways we can't help you then

Thank you

ye, nobody here uses BDFD sorry

i didnt say i want help togira

Yo, we can't help you, stop.
umbral zealot
Nobody here can help you with BDFD, because we're programmers not button mashers.
quartz kindle
i can see why he was banned
old latch
yeah right there aren't much people here using what you use
quartz kindle
out of 5000 maybe 10 use BDFD, and 99% chance none of them are online
zealous helm
That's what you're trying to say rn
umbral zealot
We're telling you, if you keep saying "javascript will work" without telling people you're actually using BDFD and how/why/when you want the message to be deleted, you're not helping yourself
old latch
we are just being realistic
zealous helm
No you're not
umbral zealot
You need to actually know how to describe problems in the first place. Your context is very important.
old latch
we are
zealous helm
Ok byeeee
quartz kindle
if they were online they would have replied. your best bet is to ask again every 30 minutes or so, and ask if anyone uses BDFD

is it working in new discord api?
quick ginkgo

umbral zealot
There's no "new discord API"
safe creek
i used it to make my friend an bot so it wouldnt take months and ew its trash
quick ginkgo
There's no "new discord API"
think they mean the intents and stuff
umbral zealot
If you mean intents, then, in order to get the full member list, you do have to fetch all the members, and that means, you would need the GUILD_MEMBERS intents.
You probably don't need it, so it really depends what you're looking for in the members cache.
quick ginkgo
but discord.js is deprecated and no longer updated, never updated to work with the new intents and stuff
old latch
ohh once I'm being here, if I want a listener on "guildMemberRemove" I need that presence intent or however it's called right?
umbral zealot

umbral zealot
discord.js is absolutely not deprecated, what are you talking about

For each member add role.
umbral zealot
I mean you shouldn't do that, add the same role to all members, to be honest.
There's already a role that affects all your members. It's the @everyone role.

what's the difference between Fetch API and XMLHttpRequest
umbral zealot
And when verifying you have to request it to Discord, and... well... they probably wouldn't give that for someone that just wants to give colors to their users wiht a role. 😄
quartz kindle
what's the difference between `Fetch API` and `XMLHttpRequest`
one is new, the other is old
xD
earnest phoenix
lol
umbral zealot
what's the difference between `Fetch API` and `XMLHttpRequest`
fetch is a browser library that's more modern and easier to use, XMLHTTPRequest is not quite deprecated, but is much more difficult to get started with for simple HTTP requests. Still used for other things though.
earnest phoenix
one is new, the other is old
speaking of new, what's the difference between aFunction() and new aFunction()
earnest phoenix
class?
quartz kindle
yes
umbral zealot
Then again new is actually not mandatory when you create a new class with no constructor options
earnest phoenix
but you can execute new keyword on any function
quartz kindle
because js is wonky
earnest phoenix
and w3schools.com uses normal functions
umbral zealot
Here, this should help: https://js.evie.dev/classes
And w3schools sucks hairy monkey balls, don't trust it or use it.
quartz kindle
also, classes were created with objects before ES6
earnest phoenix
new keyword just inherits the prototypes from the class/function and nothing else amirite?
quartz kindle
and a lot of other hacky ways
umbral zealot
yeah the whole prototype thing from the 1990's is a bit awkward and imprecise.
old latch
Here, this should help: <https://js.evie.dev/classes>
is this your website?

how do i get code to add command
umbral zealot
I'm... good at explaining things very simply, I guess.

I will use that as future reference if I need help with js :)
umbral zealot
how do i get code to add command
Step 1) Learn the programming language you want to use
Step 2) Choose a library for that language
Step 3) Actually start coding
old latch

Don't be shy, speak up!
quartz kindle
my code no work pls halp
well i have a serious question about js that i've never seen answered anywhere
why are arrays in js so damn slow
compared to string operations
for example
pure lion
Because we said so
~ V8
hollow sedge
can I draw a discord bot and generate a code from it
why won't my bot work (i coded it in google drawings)
quartz kindle
if you have 100k items in an array, and you want to find 1 item, it takes 10 times more time than if you have 100k items in a string, delimited by whatever, and find the item in the string
pure lion
@hollow sedge what the fuck
pale vessel
Exactly
hollow sedge
<@295014158771159040> what the fuck
can you fix my code

That actually could be a thing
hollow sedge
but why
pure lion
I don't wanna be here any more byebye
hollow sedge
I don't wanna be here any more byebye
no pls help me
umbral zealot
why are arrays in js so damn slow
Because they're less real arrays than they are... "dictionaries". real arrays have a fixed length and usually a fixed type so the array can be seeked by start memory position + (index * array item size) , but you can't do that in JS. So JS arrays suck .
earnest phoenix
FREE CODE FOR BOTUMS! (WORKING 2020!)
console.log("figure it out yourself");
process.exit();
quartz kindle
Because they're less real arrays than they are... "dictionaries". *real* arrays ...
makes sense
umbral zealot
This is why in, say, Java, you need to actually define an array of fixed length and type.
hollow sedge
but discord bots
there's already discord bot designer if you want to be lazy
quartz kindle
im working on a project that will require caching of about 15mb of string data, compromising of 500k items
umbral zealot
Or, really, any strongly-typed language, and especially closer to the hardware you get.
earnest phoenix
Because they're less real arrays than they are... "dictionaries"
map has left the chat
quartz kindle
and to find 1 item in those 500k takes 100ms via arrays, an 2ms via string.indexOf()
hollow sedge
wait what? FIXED length?
umbral zealot
"find" how though
quartz kindle
not to mention that converting the string to array makes it waste 3 times more memory
wintry cipher
what makes a discord bot good???
umbral zealot
optimisation cannot be linked to generalisation. They're mostly contrary terms. (mutually exclusive)
earnest phoenix
what makes a discord bot good???
that the developer does not beg for code/help and learns to do some stuff on their own instead of whining they can't do stuff
old latch
what makes a discord bot good???
the idea and the way this idea is implemented
quartz kindle
optimisation cannot be linked to generalisation. They're mostly contrary terms. ...
i've tested everything, string.indexOf() is the only thig that is faster than using exec + grep, seriously
umbral zealot
what makes a discord bot good???
A good programmer makes good code which makes a good bot.
quartz kindle
grep is faster for everything else
umbral zealot
i've tested everything, string.indexOf() is the only thig that is faster than us...
If you're looking for performance, javascript is the wrong language.
earnest phoenix
If you're looking for *performance*, javascript is **the wrong language**.
chrome has another reason to eat ram because browsers don't use stuff other than JS
umbral zealot
JS's idea of performance is "scale more"
quartz kindle
i know but if performing an in-memory operation is significantly slower than performing a disk operation, something is seriously wrong
thats here im butting my head
sudden geyser
what makes a discord bot good???
One that can break out of the catalog of genericness
quartz kindle
regardless of how slow js is, in-memory operations should not be slower than disk I/O
umbral zealot
Well... again it depends how you do your find/search
quartz kindle
i tested everything
umbral zealot
no no I mean, what specifically and exactly are you looking for?
earnest phoenix
have you tried maps
umbral zealot
yeah but each tool has different uses and optimisations
looking for "abc" in a string, of course it's gonna be faster to do a full string search - hell, regex can do it
If you're looking for a string in an array containing something, find() would be good enough
if you're looking for something at a specific key, then an Object is faster
earnest phoenix
umm i can't enable spotify secure web playback in brave
umbral zealot
you can't compare JS with grep, it's just not even the same ballpark
quartz kindle
not to mention converting 500k strings into an object makes it use 200mb of ram instead of 15mb for some reason
umbral zealot
grep is, what, assembly? fucking binary? it's code that's compiled down to the barebone
versus an interpreted language
quartz kindle
im not comparing the languages, im comparing disk vs in-memory
umbral zealot
the comparison is wholly inadequate, and absolutely unfair.
old latch
lol evie thx so much for the link to your website I understood everything about classes now
quartz kindle
grep performs a disk operation, it reads the file from disk. while performing an in-memory operation, even if less efficient, should be faster
old latch
umbral zealot
Yeah but the reading of the data, compared to the actual looping through it, are two different things
maybe grep loads single files real fast because, again, it's a super barebone compiled tool that's been optimized for decades even before JS existed
earnest phoenix
i did enable it why won't it work now
earnest phoenix
um idk
quartz kindle
its still a disk operation, thats why i was scratching my head, like i wanted to cache the data in memory to have faster lookup and access times, only to be crushed by grep lol
