[old cliff]

if I change variable name in 1st statement then it shows no error

[pure lion]

People seem angry

@old cliff what did you do

What have you done

[old cliff]

read @pure lion

[pale vessel]

It depends on the block

[pure lion]

It should be in the same scope

[pale vessel]

Do you use {} for your cases?

[old cliff]

no

[pale vessel]

If not it'll error

Yeah

[old cliff]

: for a case

[pure lion]

Flashbacks to when I used a switch case block for my commands 🤮

[pale vessel]

case "a": {

}
won't error

[old cliff]

ok

i'll try

Yeah that works

thanks

[old cliff]

switch is gross for commands.

Anyone knows a cheat way to know which property of a channel changed when it is edited ? to just get a list of all edits make in that channel ? cause it takes way too much effort to check every property.

[dull bramble]

Hey does anyone know how to make the bot send the current slowmode in the channel the command was fired in? (discord.js)

[old cliff]

find it using message.channel property

[dull bramble]

mhm

[reef mantle]

Hello

Can someone help me with welcome command pls?

[old cliff]

message.channel.rateLimitPerUser @dull bramble

gives the slowmode

in seconds

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/TextChannel?scrollTo=rateLimitPerUser

[dull bramble]

ty

[reef mantle]

@old cliff can ya help me too?

@dull bramble maybe?

Can anyone help?

How to make a welcome code?

[silent cloud]

You guys, can somebody help me

My friend gave me this code part, but it haves an error

bot.setInterval(()=> { bot.sweepMesages(86400)}, 3600000);```

bot.sweepMesages is not a function
at Timeout._onTimeout

That's part should clear memory cache every hour

[reef mantle]

I guess you can help me

Do you know a code for a welcome command?

[dull bramble]

Yo, anyone know how I could make a set slowmode command?

[reef mantle]

Slowmode like with Time out?

[dull bramble]

Like normal discord channel slowmode

[old cliff]

@silent cloud its messages not mesages

U have a typo

use this

bot.setInterval(()=> { bot.sweepMessages(86400)}, 3600000);

[silent cloud]

    setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(msg.author.id), cooldownAmount);
    ```

[silent cloud]

Ohhh rly?

Ty xd

[old cliff]

here

{
  'rateLimitPerUser': '10'
}
);```

replace 10 with new slowmode

[dull bramble]

Alright

[silent cloud]

And in code part you need this:
cooldown: number

Thz jaguar now it workinf

[old cliff]

if your bot does logging then removing messages from cache is not recommended

cause then the event will not trigger

if a message is deleted,edited,etc.

@silent cloud

[silver lintel]

const config = require('../../config.json');
const $ = require("discord.js").MessageEmbed;
module.exports = {
  name: 'help',
  aliases: ['commands'],
  cooldown: 3,
  description: 'List all of my commands or info about a specific command',
    usage: '<command>',
  type: 'info',
  permissions: ['SEND_MESSAGES'],
  execute: (message, args) => {
    const embed = new $()
.setColor(config.color)
.......
  }
}

cannot access 'config' before initialization

[reef mantle]

Guys

[lusty quest]

when did you load your help command? bcs your config is not aviable when loading the command

[silver lintel]

const categories = fs.readdirSync("./commands2");
categories.forEach(c => {
  const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(`./commands2/${c}`).filter(file => file.endsWith(".js"));
  for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = require(`./commands2/${c}/${file}`);
    client.commands.set(command.name, command);
  }
});

thats how im loading them

[lusty quest]

in your bot on ready event or in your main file?

[reef mantle]

My log says
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning : FetchError: request to discord.com/api/v7/gateway/bot failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND discord.com

[silver lintel]

main file

[reef mantle]

What does this mean guys?

[lusty quest]

is your json static or for god not say it a Database

[reef mantle]

Me?

[silver lintel]

its in my main file and not in any event

[lusty quest]

is your json static or for god not say it a Database

[silver lintel]

json?

[lusty quest]

the config you load in your command is a json file

also is the path to the json correct?

[silver lintel]

static

[silver lintel]

yes its correct

[lusty quest]

strange.

i dont see why it wont load the json

[silver lintel]

hm

[lusty quest]

what is the output if you use a console.log(config) in your command

[old cliff]

try using a different variable name

[silver lintel]

its not logging

[lusty quest]

did you comment out the error?

[silver lintel]

module.exports = {
  name: 'help',
  aliases: ['commands'],
  cooldown: 3,
  description: 'List all of my commands or info about a specific command',
    usage: '<command>',
  type: 'info',
  permissions: ['SEND_MESSAGES'],
  execute: (message, args) => {
    console.log(config)
}}``` when i do this config is what config.json is

[lusty quest]

wired

[silver lintel]

heres the full code https://hastebin.com/qificufihe.js

ik its not efficient ;-;

[lusty quest]

wtf. lookup how to make a dynamic generated help command

[silent cloud]

Its doesnt helps me

Was 150mb now 175mb

It rising

[lusty quest]

without setColor and setThumpnail does it work?

[lusty quest]

what exactly did you want to do?

[silent cloud]

I have memory leaks

[lusty quest]

how did you know this?

[silent cloud]

I want to fix it or clear memory cache every hour

[silent cloud]

Bcs my RAM is rising

But bot doing nothing

[lusty quest]

this doesnt indicate directly a memory leak

did you use stuff that renders to the buffer?

[silent cloud]

And my friend say about that, he 100% knows

[silent cloud]

No

[lusty quest]

what language did you use?

[silent cloud]

Node js

[lusty quest]

libary?

[silent cloud]

Uhhhh

[lusty quest]

discord.js?

[silent cloud]

V12

Ye

[lusty quest]

ok. if you have issues with high ram usage maybe look into discord.js-light. your increasing ram usage could be that the bot starts to Cache more and more users, messages and the other stuff

[silent cloud]

What?

[lusty quest]

this is a thing i dislike on D.js v12 it caches everything

[silent cloud]

Change discord.js to discord.js-light?

[lusty quest]

yes its pretty much the same but with way more control about what is cached

https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord.js-light

[silent cloud]

Hmmm

[lusty quest]

the creator of the lib is also here on the discord server

[gusty quest]

(node:9432) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ReferenceError: response is not defined but its defined here const response = await msg.awaitReactions(filter, { max: 1, time: 8.64e+7 });

[lusty quest]

i think the time is the issue

[gusty quest]

oh

okay let me see

[silent cloud]

Sounds good

[lusty quest]

but with d.js-light you have to code certain stuff differently

not much but its needed to get it to work

[gusty quest]

its not :d

time issue

[quartz kindle]

@gusty quest show more code

[gusty quest]

im gonna send u in dm

[quartz kindle]

You have return undefined

[silent cloud]

Ok

I installed it

[quartz kindle]

Also youre not actually calling the function?

[silent cloud]

Lets try

[quartz kindle]

Actually just remove the function lol, use the code directly

[silent cloud]

Oh yea

[lusty quest]

also tim here is the creator of d.js-light

[silent cloud]

Old discord was 150mb, now 130-134mb

Rly?!?!?

[lusty quest]

you can get the ram usage even more down i guess. how many guilds did you use?

[silent cloud]

I have 25 guilds

And 5 shards

[lusty quest]

wtf?

why

[silent cloud]

Lol ye?

[lusty quest]

you dont need a shard if you are not close to 1k guilds

[gusty quest]

ty for help i fixed it 😄

[silent cloud]

Yep, but im looking in future

[lusty quest]

i have ~100MB ram usage with ~300 Guilds

[silent cloud]

And now idk how to up my guilds

Bcs i want to verify my bot

[lusty quest]

the running shards could cause your memory usages

[quartz kindle]

I have 130mb with 6000 guilds

[silent cloud]

Yep

Maybe create only 2 shards?

[lusty quest]

you only need 1

[quartz kindle]

Are you using the sharding manager?

[silent cloud]

Ye

[quartz kindle]

You can switch to internal sharding

[silent cloud]

What it doing?

[quartz kindle]

Sharding manager is 1 shard = 1 process

So 5 shards = 5 processes, aka, 5 node.js running at once

Internal sharding is 1 process = multiple shards

So you only have 1 nodejs running and all shards are inside it

[silent cloud]

Hmmm

Sound good, but how

[quartz kindle]

Delete the sharding manager

And in your main file, put in your client options: shards:[0,1]

For 2 shards

Or [0,1,2,3,4] for 5 shards

[silent cloud]

Understood

Lets try

And yo

Discord.js-light cool

Bcs now it use onlt 127mb

So cool rly

[quartz kindle]

Thx :)

If you code it right, you can use as little as 50mb

[lusty quest]

but then it starts to get annoying

[quartz kindle]

Lmao

You need to give up on permissions and a bunch of other stuff

[lusty quest]

with running a better memory allocator you can also cut down on a bit of memory usage

but yea

[silent cloud]

Hm tim

Why now bot doesnt show users size

[lusty quest]

if you have a dumb bot with only a few commands or run all configs over a website you could get it to work

[silent cloud]

It say i have only 1 users

[lusty quest]

bcs users are not cached

[silent cloud]

But was over 40k

Oh

Rly

[quartz kindle]

Its written in the readme

[silent cloud]

I need change false to true?

[quartz kindle]

Users are "all or nothing"

[silent cloud]

Ohhh

[quartz kindle]

If you want users, you need to fetchAllUsers

Those 40k you had are not all users

Only a part of them

Anyhow having them cached is not needed most of the time

[silent cloud]

I dont understand what to do

[quartz kindle]

If you can use guild.memberCount for counting users

[silent cloud]

I need not guild member

I need all bot members

[quartz kindle]

If you need users, you have to use fetchAllMembers

In your client options

fetchAllMembers:true

But this will make your bot use much more memory

If you need that, better stick with discord.js

[silent cloud]

Ohhhhh

Better i delete *users command and users on shard from bot status

[quartz kindle]

You can use guild.memberCount

That will give you the total number of members in a server, including bots and including offlines

You can filter servers by guild.shardID

And add the member counts of each server and each shard id

[silent cloud]

Bruh

Rly, bettee i will remove just users.size

[gusty quest]

so i now made to remove users reaction but it removes all reactions here is code msg.reactions.cache.get("🔇").remove(message.author.id)

[earnest phoenix]

discord bot animated avatar??

[junior anvil]

uhh does anyone here use discord js?

[earnest phoenix]

yap

i am

[junior anvil]

oh ok

Nice

[lusty quest]

discord bots can use gifs as avatars

[gusty quest]

how

[junior anvil]

hmm

[earnest phoenix]

@lusty quest OOO YES THANKS

[junior anvil]

maybe go to the application and add the gif

i think...

[eternal osprey]

hey could anybody help me with a heroku problem?

[lusty quest]

i think remove takes the user object

[eternal osprey]

postinstall script permission denied

[lusty quest]

heroku doesnt allow all npm modules

[eternal osprey]

damn

i was thinking

[lusty quest]

one reason more why free hoster suck

[eternal osprey]

can't i just use pm2 on a vmbox to let it run 24/7

[lusty quest]

where?

[eternal osprey]

on virtualbox

[gusty quest]

so?

[lusty quest]

on your pc, a server or samsung smart fridge?

[eternal osprey]

it basically isn't my pc anymore

[lusty quest]

? you know how discord.js works?

[gusty quest]

yes

[eternal osprey]

it is a virutal computer basically.

[gusty quest]

im not good at english

so idk what did u say

bruh

its time for google transtlate

[quartz kindle]

Virtual computer still runs on a physical computer, if the physical one is shut off, the virtual dies as well

[lusty quest]

buy somewhere a raspberry pi and let it run off there

[timber fractal]

        message.channel.send(triggered2)
    }
}``` Why is this not working??

[lusty quest]

did you still havent figured out how to debug it?

[eternal osprey]

owh shit okay,

same goes with pm2 right?

[timber fractal]

@lusty quest me??

[lusty quest]

yes

[timber fractal]

yes i did but now i tried 1 so u can also trigger someone else

like

it worjs

works*

but i want it so u can trigger someone else

[lusty quest]

your error yesterday stated that trigger where not working, then someone told you that you used an outdated tutorial

[timber fractal]

yes

but i fixed that

and now i tried to make it so u can also trigger someone else

[lusty quest]

if you want to use an other user with an mention work with mentions

[timber fractal]

i just want it so u can trigger someone else

[lusty quest]

a random user or a spezific one

[timber fractal]

specific like u say trigger @Superbrain8#4020

and than it triggers u

[lusty quest]

then learn how to handle mentions

[timber fractal]

-_-

i used something like this too in another command and that works

[lusty quest]

what exactly does your current code?

[timber fractal]

it sends a gif with you and under that there is "TRIGGERED"

[lucid prawn]

my error
DiscordapiError cant send an empty message
just stated now

[molten yarrow]

define the member on the first line

const member = mention || author

its an example you need change it

if there is no mention it takes the author

[timber fractal]

ok

[lusty quest]

he handles the mention later in the code

but in a different way

[molten yarrow]

thats why i told him, he should add it on the first line

[lucid prawn]

#development message

[molten yarrow]

your message is empty

[lucid prawn]

but it not

[timber fractal]

@molten yarrow i used this code

const canva = require('canvacord');
const Discord = require('discord.js')

module.exports = {
    name: "trigger",
    description: "Trigegr yourself",


    async run (client, message, args) {
        const member = message.mentions.members.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
        if(args[0]) return 
        let avatar = message.author.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: false, format: "png"});

        let image = await canva.Canvas.trigger(avatar);
    
        let triggered = new Discord.MessageAttachment(image, "triggered.gif")
            
        message.channel.send(triggered);

        if(!member) return message.channel.send(`Please enter a VALID member!`)

        let avatar2 = member.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: false, format: "png"});

        let image2 = await canva.Canvas.trigger(avatar2);

        let triggered2 = new Discord.MessageAttachment(image2, "triggered.gif")

        message.channel.send(triggered2)
    }
}```
and it tells this

[molten yarrow]

if you dont show as your code we cant help you

[cursive forge]

abort(DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions) How would I make it say Missing Embed links permission

[molten yarrow]

const member = message.mentions.members.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
        if(args[0]) return 
        let avatar = message.author.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: false, format: "png"});

you still takin avatar from message.author not member

[lusty quest]

your avatar = line is wrong

[timber fractal]

oh LOL

[lusty quest]

get the image from the member not the author

[molten yarrow]

and you dont need the args[0] line anymore

[lucid prawn]

https://pastebin.com/dgNtRDC7

[timber fractal]

@molten yarrow i have this

const canva = require('canvacord');
const Discord = require('discord.js')

module.exports = {
    name: "trigger",
    description: "Trigegr yourself",


    async run (client, message, args) {
        const member = message.mentions.members.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
        if(args[0]) return 
        let avatar = member.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: false, format: "png"});

        let image = await canva.Canvas.trigger(avatar);
    
        let triggered = new Discord.MessageAttachment(image, "triggered.gif")
            
        message.channel.send(triggered);

        if(!member) return message.channel.send(`Please enter a VALID member!`)

        let triggered2 = new Discord.MessageAttachment(image2, "triggered.gif")

        message.channel.send(triggered2)
    }
}```
and it still gives my image

[lusty quest]

you dont need avatar2 image2 and triggered2 anymore

[timber fractal]

ok

const canva = require('canvacord');
const Discord = require('discord.js')

module.exports = {
    name: "trigger",

now i have this

[lusty quest]

alyo your member line is still not completely right

[timber fractal]

so it should work???

[lusty quest]

try and see

[timber fractal]

it doesnt work

how to fix it

[lusty quest]

did you saved the code?

[timber fractal]

yes

[lusty quest]

and updated it where every you run the code?

[timber fractal]

yes

[lusty quest]

then it should work

[lucid prawn]

https://pastebin.com/dgNtRDC7
my error

DiscordapiError cant send an empty message

just stated now

[molten yarrow]

on wich line is the error?

[eternal osprey]

is it possible to create your own vps at home?

[lucid prawn]

i didnt say the line

[lusty quest]

yes

[molten yarrow]

wich command did you use?

[lusty quest]

use a NAS or a Raspberri pi

[lucid prawn]

all my commands

[molten yarrow]

you get it on all your commands?

[eternal osprey]

nas?

[lusty quest]

network attached storage

[eternal osprey]

aha nvm

got it

how to fix it

[restive furnace]

r u sure ur on v12

[timber fractal]

yes

[restive furnace]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/User?scrollTo=displayAvatarURL, tl;dr you need to get user instance of member

[timber fractal]

ok

[eternal osprey]

will pm2 stop once my pc quits?

yeah right?

[molten yarrow]

yes

    }
}``` If i use this it works if u try it on yourself but if you try it on someone else it says `member.displayAvatarURL is not a function`

[lucid prawn]

did u find the problem

[timber fractal]

how to fix it

[molten yarrow]

is your Bot online?

you have 2x ready event and 2x message event, make sure you have only one

[timber fractal]

you can host it for free on Heroku but free is not really good

[lusty quest]

or you get the 1 year free credits for AWS or Google Cloud Platforms

[timber fractal]

@lusty quest do u know a answer on my problem

[lusty quest]

does member contains a member object?

[lucid prawn]

yes my bot is online

[timber fractal]

what do you mean

im new to this sorry

[lusty quest]

contains the member variable a member object? (console.log(member))

[timber fractal]

uhm

i have const member = message.mentions.members.first() || message.author

[lusty quest]

if you still dont know how to debug your own code i suggest to learn some more js

[timber fractal]

ok

but can you help

@lusty quest

[lusty quest]

ive gave you instructions in what to do

[eternal osprey]

i know

i cannot get my fucking build to start because of postinstall

[timber fractal]

whta to do?

[eternal osprey]

and i don't want to spend money on a vps.

[bright crag]

Avatar is not a property of a guild member

[boreal iron]

#development message

[lusty quest]

5$/month is not much

[eternal osprey]

never said it was much

[timber fractal]

bruh im new so idk how to fix that

[lusty quest]

the message say what you should do

[timber fractal]

who can help me

[timber fractal]

yes but i dont know how to do that because im new so i dont have any idea what to do whit that message

[bright crag]

Use message.mentions.users.first

[timber fractal]

i have

oh wait

nvm

i have members

[lusty quest]

if it will contain a member object then the error is somewhere else

[timber fractal]

and not users

i will try

[bright crag]

yeah change it

[timber fractal]

thx @bright crag it worked

[bright crag]

ok cool

[lucid prawn]

only my music command is working

[molten yarrow]

you need to clean up your code a bit

your guildMemberAdd event is inside your first message event
and your second message event is inside the first one

[earnest phoenix]

i can set gif as avatar for my bot??

[lusty quest]

i think so, saw other bots using it

[earnest phoenix]

i tried but only allows png jpg

[lucid prawn]

i fixed it and i will clean up my coded

[molten yarrow]

nice :3

[lusty quest]

well then you cant use a gif

[earnest phoenix]

is the nekos.life sfw gifs allowed?

[lusty quest]

the entire api is banned

[earnest phoenix]

oh darn but thanks i dont wanna get declined again

[cursive forge]

how to make a bot know when its disconnected discord js?

[upper swallow]

Hey, I'm trying to log in with my bot, but I'm getting an invalid token error. I've regenerated the token multiple times but still the same response. Has the bot been compromised? (I've had this bot for some time and I haven't booted it up for quite a bit)

[leaden cliff]

Can someone check if my code is correct?

?

[lusty quest]

you can pass your token from your json config into client.login. and the bot will run on every message that contains oing

the on ready event is fine

[leaden cliff]

I have 2 places for the Token.

Ik how to get Token.

What's wrong with this?

It looks weird.

[lusty quest]

its fine

you just dont use prefix or token anywhere

[leaden cliff]

So I remove the config.json file?

[lusty quest]

no keep it

[leaden cliff]

[lusty quest]

in your client.login add in there your token variable

client.login(token)

this will then load your token from the json

[leaden cliff]

I have added it in the index.js one.

[lusty quest]

having the token somewhere coded in your files is bad

the only way i can think on rn is looping over each user in the guild

but its not that efficent

[outer perch]

so, @lusty quest remember when I asked about multilanguage?

[lusty quest]

could work

[lusty quest]

i think

[outer perch]

what about module.exports? it won't get the variable that says 'Use this language!'

cuz it'll be above the execute

[lusty quest]

how is your command made?

bcs everyone does it a bit different

stuff like command names wont work

[outer perch]

rn it's in my native language, but you may understand

I didn't set the lang variable for this file yet

[lusty quest]

yea they wont work

atleast it depends on how you pass in the translations.

[outer perch]

so maybe I should create a .json file for the help only

like, en-help

[lusty quest]

you cant reference any guild in there

so you cant load any guild spezific translation

[outer perch]

or even use the en.json and create a set of properties for help only

like, delete these

[lusty quest]

this will break the command

[outer perch]

I won't delete the name

the rest I can delete

[lusty quest]

this will break the help command

[outer perch]

and then, in the help.js

wait

hold-on

instead of searching the command info in the command

[outer perch]

I get them here

[lusty quest]

would be possible

[outer perch]

so it gets the command info from there

[outer perch]

yeah, but it's kinda annoying

going through all the 'language.json' to write the info

[lusty quest]

well you do the initial translation and then the additional ones

[outer perch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[leaden cliff]

How do I get another command working on it?

[lusty quest]

get a command handler or use a switch case

[outer perch]

command handler > switch, only if you have 10+ commands

[leaden cliff]

How to get a command handler?

[lusty quest]

nah command handler looks always better

[outer perch]

u can always use switch if u want 4 or 5 commands

[outer perch]

ikr

[lusty quest]

https://discordjs.guide/ there are many good guides

[leaden cliff]

I am on that.

[outer perch]

but as a beginner, I used switch case until I got 15 commands or so, lmao

[lusty quest]

then go to command Handling

[leaden cliff]

I am on this.

Idk how to add another command.

[outer perch]

ykw?

follow the guide from the beginning

[leaden cliff]

To this

[outer perch]

you'll get in there

[leaden cliff]

Where do I put it?

[outer perch]

that's what I did

[lusty quest]

follow the guide. it will tell you everything

[outer perch]

that's an explanation, you shouldn't just cp the code into ya bot without even looking carefully on what the guide tells you to do xD

[leaden cliff]

This does not make sense:

[lusty quest]

? it makes sense for me

[leaden cliff]

How to fix?

[lusty quest]

well you try to run a else statement inside a if statement

[leaden cliff]

Where do I put it?

[lusty quest]

did you know basic js?

[leaden cliff]

?

[lusty quest]

you ask really basic questions about how to use javascript. i suggest to learn this first

[leaden cliff]

I do not like Javascript.

[lusty quest]

you try to code a bot with it lol

[leaden cliff]

I using Node.

[lusty quest]

node is javascript

[leaden cliff]

Oh.

[lusty quest]

i wont babysit you throu the entire process. learn some basic js.

[main trench]

@leaden cliff smh add a } on the line above the else if statement

And like Super was saying you should learn basic coding languages before using them it will help you alot

[bright flame]

Hey guyz could you tell me how to host a java bot for free

or is there any method to get vps for free

[main trench]

You can host it in your code editor

[ionic dawn]

wtf

[bright flame]

wdym

[ionic dawn]

You can use your own machine as a host

[main trench]

Example if your using node.js if you do node . in the terminal it turns the bot on

[ionic dawn]

just keep it 24/7 on

[main trench]

^

[bright flame]

oh that i know but i cant keep it 24/7

[ionic dawn]

or just buy a raspi one

there's no "free vps"

[main trench]

Fancy

[bright flame]

i have bot in java

not in js

[ionic dawn]

I suggest you check pinned messages

[main trench]

^

[ionic dawn]

mathew explains very good "Free Hosts"

[lusty quest]

free doesnt exist

[pearl trail]

heroku exist

[ionic dawn]

well

[lusty quest]

heroku is crap

[pearl trail]

[ionic dawn]

[bright flame]

how

?

[pearl trail]

still useful for beginners

[lusty quest]

they dont support a large amount of stuff

[bright flame]

can u teach me how to host java bot there

[lusty quest]

lol grab 5$/Month and you start with a way better platform to grow

heroku wont get you past 1k

[bright flame]

my bot is just like 40mb

[lusty quest]

maybe even not past 500

[bright flame]

including all the files, apis, and all stuff

i searched for glitch but i didnt found it cool cause you have to start your bot again and again after every 5 mins

or so

[main trench]

You could use uptime manager for glitch

But I wouldn't recommend using glitch to code a bot

[bright flame]

why tho

[lusty quest]

uptime manager will get you banned from glitch bcs it violates the TOS

[pearl trail]

1. you need to push your bot to github
2. Make Procfile file and fill it with worker: node <your_main_file>
3. Open heroku, make account if not exist, and create new app
4. Go to deploy section, choose github for deployment method, find your repo and connect it.
5. Click on deploy branch
6. If success, refresh page, and go to resource section
7. Disable web and enable worker

[main trench]

Ah last I heard glitch allowed it

[lusty quest]

when did they changed it?

anyways free hosts suck

[main trench]

Indeed

[bright flame]

sure dm me this so i coulnt loose it

[main trench]

Self host like a normal guy

[lusty quest]

buy a Raspberry pi or banana pi if you dont want to get a VPS

[bright flame]

my one bot got declined because of that

[main trench]

I self host and mine didn't get declined

[lusty quest]

self host in a VPS lol

[main trench]

Yours was probably just offline

[bright flame]

ya at that moment

[main trench]

Lmao

Self host is both a blessing and a nightmare

Its easy to fix errors but if you get one the project is offline

[lusty quest]

there is a easy way to prevent this. Dont develop on a working system

[main trench]

True

[river thistle]

I'm looking for a method to split a string into multiple parts, based on a maxLength, but not just using a simple substring, but cutting at the end of a word

I don't know if I explained it correctly

[lusty quest]

?

where?

[outer perch]

is it possible to pass a parsed .json to another command?

[lusty quest]

what is the error

you already forgot to close one (

[cursive forge]

how to make a bot know when its disconnected discord js?

[lusty quest]

iirc there is a event

[main trench]

@cursive forge what?

[cursive forge]

client

I need it to know when someone disconnects it manually

so it clears the queue

Yeah it crashes but instead of crashing I want it to queue.delete(guild.id)

but I need to know what can detect if the client is in the vc or not

[tardy hornet]

is it right to say codes are?

[lusty quest]

ditch discord.js and use a microservice structure. then your bot can be shown as online but no command will work bcs there is no api client aviable

[cursive forge]

how to make a bot know when its disconnected discord js?

[lusty quest]

look into events

[cursive forge]

What?

How does this help me?

How would I even add that lol

[main trench]

@sharp birch send the error here

[sharp birch]

wait I'ma screen shot for error

[main trench]

You could just copy and paste it

[sharp birch]

emm

this

data

eeeeee

[main trench]

Looks like you don't have the js package

You should install that

[sharp birch]

I have that bruh

[cursive forge]

@earnest phoenix Then how would I use that to make it where if someone disconnects it it returns queue.delete(guild.id)

[sharp birch]

only one problem

[main trench]

Did you install it in the project then @sharp birch

[sharp birch]

I have package-lock.json

damn

I didn't install that

[main trench]

In the terminal do npm i discord.js

[outer perch]

uh

[sharp birch]

npm discord.js?

[main trench]

^

[sharp birch]

alr

[cursive forge]

@earnest phoenix So how would I do and if statment with it?

[main trench]

i is short for install

[sharp birch]

it's still error

[main trench]

@sharp birch then you don't have the discord api

[sharp birch]

I have

[main trench]

Are you trying to use node.js?

[sharp birch]

yea

[main trench]

Did you Install it from the site?

[sharp birch]

yes

[main trench]

Did you do npm init?

[earnest phoenix]

Did u install all the packages in ur package.json?

lol

[sharp birch]

alr it's work thx

[main trench]

Lmao that was fast

[sharp birch]

yay my bot working

[earnest phoenix]

Lol

[sharp birch]

btw, Im using repl.it

[main trench]

No idea what that is

[earnest phoenix]

and now we wait for him to get roasted

[main trench]

Yes

[sharp birch]

Im so lazy using visual studio

I wonder why

..

idk

[main trench]

Vsc is nice

Easy to code in it and easy to host in it

[sharp birch]

oof

[lusty quest]

dont host in vsc

its not ment for production systems

[main trench]

Oh well it worked for my old bot

[sharp birch]

I have one question

[main trench]

Once I have a job ill buy a vps

[sharp birch]

what is that "package-lock.json"?

[main trench]

@sharp birch just information on your js version, discord version all that fun stuff

Nothing you'll ever need to mess with

Only one mod who has status online

BRRR

[eternal osprey]

i am ust tryingg to show the stats

[willow mirage]

@eternal osprey did you tried

setInterval()

[eternal osprey]

but it does not update.

[main trench]

If you want it to update use a interval

[eternal osprey]

`` js

[willow mirage]

setInterval(() => {
  //your function
}, 15000)

[eternal osprey]

    client.user.setActivity(`!help || Serving on ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers, for a total of ${client.users.cache.size} users`);
``` this is that code

aha okay.

[willow mirage]

you need to loop it

but not less then 15s

cuz ur gonna get banned

[main trench]

Mine updates every 2 min

[lusty quest]

i recomend 5 minutes

[eternal osprey]

setInterval(() => {
        
      
    client.user.setActivity(`!help || Serving on ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers, for a total of ${client.users.cache.size} users`);
}, 60000)```

like this right?

[willow mirage]

good

https://tryitands.ee

[main trench]

Now the bot will not have a status until it reaches the specified time btw

[willow mirage]

    client.user.setActivity(`!help || Serving on ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers, for a total of ${client.users.cache.size} users`);
setInterval(() => {
    client.user.setActivity(`!help || Serving on ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers, for a total of ${client.users.cache.size} users`);
}, 60000)

done

[main trench]

Lmao

[eternal osprey]

i am still flabbergasted about how the fuck i got 605 users to use my bot

that's hot asf

[outer perch]

so I did this in bot.js

const lang = require('./languages/en.json');

and then tried to pass lang to the commands

command.execute(bot, message, command, args, db, await prefixDev, lang, supportServerEmojis);

but lang logs [] in the other commands

[main trench]

Whats lang supposed to do?

[lusty quest]

605 is easy. if you get like one or two larger servers

[main trench]

^

[outer perch]

it's a json file with all possible messages the bot can send in order to answer a user

that's a snippet

[main trench]

Interesting

[outer perch]

in english, goes to en.json

if in spanish for example, es.json

[main trench]

So it just changes the language depending on the user?

[outer perch]

*server

I am using only en.json just for testing

so i can know if the commands are reading the object

[main trench]

Ah sounds like a neat feature

[outer perch]

but I need an answer for my problem

[lusty quest]

how did you define what language file gets loaded?

[outer perch]

#development message

I did that way just to test

should I add await?

[lusty quest]

this is not really a smart system

since you hardcode one language

[outer perch]

??

it's dynamic in the bot

in the dev one, it's just like this

I just want to pass the object to the other commands

[outer perch]

oh, you're saying I'm only using one programming language?

[lusty quest]

no

you hardcode the bot to only use english

[outer perch]

no....?

[lusty quest]

the code you showed does it

[outer perch]

I know it does @lusty quest

but that's not the issue, it's for testing

I just want the object in the other commands, but appears as [] @lusty quest

[earnest phoenix]

I'm starting to learn JS again as I forgot about most of it yet I'm just getting an error when I try to npm i dotenv/types

(it didnt already install that alongwith dotenv)

[summer torrent]

#development i thought we are in #general

[lusty quest]

does the package exist?

lol he is in development

[earnest phoenix]

Not really sure

[lusty quest]

could be an async issue, or connect it with your command loader

[earnest phoenix]

I have code referencing to dotenv/types but that throws an err trying to install it

[lusty quest]

try dotenv-types

this package exist

or @types/dotenv

but later one is deprecated

[earnest phoenix]

https://get-off-of.me/u/adam/OG28AtSt.png

yeah

it's asking for /

@types/dotenv doesn't work either

[lusty quest]

why did you want to use it? bcs the package is deprecated

atleast @types/dotenv

[earnest phoenix]

i previously used dotenv to actually turn on my bot as i dont know any other way

ill just try to use .json then i didnt realise they deprecated it

[lusty quest]

lol dotenv still is a thing

but not really for turning on bots, it provides a file that will be loaded into the enviroment

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[sudden geyser]

wdym they deprecated it

[lusty quest]

@types/dotenv is deprecated bcs it got merged with dotenv or so

[sudden geyser]

o

good

less typescript (jk)

[fallow agate]

Hello

[earnest phoenix]

hi

[fallow agate]

how can i get user info with discord api?

[limber flume]

Hey, I'm trying to get the milliseconds of when the bot starts listening for a message and when the user types in the correct message. But it sometimes goes -. I'm using datetime

[earnest phoenix]

you mean id username joindate and stuff

[limber flume]

Check the docs

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[fallow agate]

adamm

with api

h

wait

[earnest phoenix]

👏 read 👏 the 👏 docs 👏

[fallow agate]

not in top gg

bu

but

[main trench]

@fallow agate read the discord.js docs

[limber flume]

stop spamming messages, write them in one.

[main trench]

Or whatever language docs you're using

[sudden geyser]

Azy what library are you using

[earnest phoenix]

its called linestacking

[limber flume]

now nobody gonna see what i asked for

[earnest phoenix]

i read it

[summer torrent]

@fallow agate https://discord.dev

[main trench]

Ah yes dev portal

[limber flume]

is there a way to fix this?

[fallow agate]

cant see in it aw

[limber flume]

at all*

[fallow agate]

also discord.dev link not works?

[main trench]

@fallow agate its a issue with your discord app settings

[limber flume]

So what i'm trying to do is this, basically @earnest phoenix https://im-a-dev.xyz/zu3YyYf0.gif

but sometimes, shows -

[sudden geyser]

But it sometimes goes -. I'm using datetime
What is -? I don't think you should even be using strftime for this.

[limber flume]

o-

but i want to format it into milliseconds

[lusty quest]

could be also a bug with the api or your code

[sudden geyser]

probably not

[limber flume]

yea probably not xd

well, my code yes.

all i'm doing is getting a starting point, then getting the end point

but sometimes one is larger than the other maybe?

and that's why it goes -

[main trench]

@leaden cliff example
If {
Command 1
} else if {
Command 2
}

[earnest phoenix]

try doing seconds instead of ms

[main trench]

Or use a switch statement

[limber flume]

aight.

[main trench]

But honestly learn basic js first

[limber flume]

@earnest phoenix Welp. That worked! Thanks.

[sudden geyser]

I don't exactly think using datetime.now().strftime(...) for this situation is appropriate, but this is how I did it in one of my bots: ```py
from time import time

milliseconds = lambda: int(time() * 1000)Then I could call `milliseconds` to get the current time in milliseconds.py
start = milliseconds()

... wait a bit ...

elapse = milliseconds() - start```

[limber flume]

oh, i could try this.

Thanks, Lite.

[slender thistle]

Isn't time() already in ms?

[sudden geyser]

It's in seconds, but uses decimal points

[limber flume]

yes lol

[sudden geyser]

ends up looking like this

[slender thistle]

huh

well, datetime > time

[limber flume]

@sudden geyser Works, Thanks! I got both times by just doing elapse/1000!

/ obviously meaning divide.

[earnest phoenix]

could this get me rate limited?

@tasks.loop(seconds=300)
async def cpucheck(self):
        print(self.bot.index)
        self.bot.index += 1
        cpunorm = 10.0
        cpuhigh = 20.0
        if psutil.cpu_percent() < cpunorm:
            await self.bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online,activity=discord.Game(name=status))
        elif psutil.cpu_percent() > cpunorm:
            await self.bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle,activity=discord.Game(name=status))
        elif psutil.cpu_percent() > cpuhigh:
            await self.bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.dnd,activity=discord.Game(name=status))
        else:
            print("Error")

[sudden geyser]

well you're only going it once every 5 minutes

[hasty mulch]

Status change?

[sudden geyser]

I wouldn't say so

[earnest phoenix]

it changes state based on the cpu load

medium load https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381965515721146390/785149067210522624/unknown.png

[tribal siren]

i always wondered: why do we need the client secret and the public key?

[earnest phoenix]

high load dnd

[boreal iron]

Clients may only update their [...] status 5 times per 20 seconds.

So no.

[earnest phoenix]

ah ok, thanks

[slender thistle]

4 times per 20 seconds actually

Actually, I'm unsure, disregard that

[lusty quest]

i think its higher

2 times per 10 minutes iirc

[boreal iron]

5 times per 20 seconds quoting Discord docs

[leaden cliff]

What is wrong with this code?

(I removed the Token due to it being stolen.)

[earnest phoenix]

Hello can we use a multi language for the bot? For coding

[leaden rover]

in the ping command, you need to have a ( before the '

[leaden cliff]

These are the only problems now.

[cinder patio]

Like... multiple programming languages? You can do that, but it would be easier and more efficient if you just write the whole bot in one language.

[atomic vault]

you have to add === and remove ) at if(command**)**

[leaden cliff]

How do I fix these:

[main trench]

@leaden cliff add a } above the second if statement

Smh

[leaden cliff]

oh.

[main trench]

Wait maybe

Your code is a little strange

Oh

Add a third =

@leaden cliff

[leaden cliff]

Last problem:

[earnest phoenix]

It's possible ah okey thanks

[molten yarrow]

its just (command == 'ping')

[main trench]

Is it?

[atomic vault]

ya

[main trench]

I don't do else if statements so I don't remember how they work

[leaden cliff]

If I remove the { it makes it fail.

[main trench]

Then don't remove it

[leaden cliff]

But I have a problem.

With it.

[atomic vault]

how to add role for a user only sing tis username and discriminator
Like nandan#8628

[main trench]

Id say rey adding a third = to see if that helps

[leaden cliff]

With it:

[main trench]

@atomic vault you canr really since the bot needs to find a user in the guild

[leaden cliff]

Without it:

[main trench]

@leaden cliff take away ( then add the { back

[molten yarrow]

dude dont make it even worse xD

[main trench]

Omfg

[leaden cliff]

Like that?

[molten yarrow]

if(command == 'ping') {
  message.channel.send('pong!')
}

[main trench]

^

[molten yarrow]

i cant look at this...

[main trench]

I now see why I switched to command handlers

[atomic vault]

try this
if(command === 'ping'){ message.channel.send('pong!') }

[atomic vault]

) missed

[molten yarrow]

if(command == 'ping') message.channel.send('pong!')

would also work

[leaden cliff]

@atomic vault Yay!

[molten yarrow]

yeah added 😛

[main trench]

@leaden cliff I'll just say this again you should really learn basic js first man

It will make your life so much easier

[molten yarrow]

yep

[leaden cliff]

Wait.

It is still does not work.

Their are no errors.

[main trench]

[leaden cliff]

The terminal won't work.

[atomic vault]

@main trench ya

[leaden cliff]

😭

Wait.l

[main trench]

Did you do "node ."

[leaden cliff]

F me.

[main trench]

Smh

[leaden cliff]

I forgot to add the Token back in.

It works.

Thx.

[main trench]

Now to add another command do else if under the last } for the ping command

And repeat the same process

[leaden cliff]

K.

[main trench]

  message.channel.send('pong!')
} else if(command == 'name 2') {
Code here
}```

It should be like that

I miss the mobile code blocks 😔

[gusty quest]

um ReferenceError: Intents is not defined``````const intents = new Intents(); intents.add( 'GUILD_MEMBERS', 'GUILDS', 'GUILD_MESSAGES', );

but its defined

[molten yarrow]

dont define them, pass them to your Client

[gusty quest]

?

[gusty quest]

i have that

const client = new Discord.Client(config, { ws: { intents: intents } });```

[atomic vault]

how can i get user id and give a role to user

[main trench]

@atomic vault discord.js?

[atomic vault]

ya
and mysql

[near stratus]

client.fetchUser ?

[earnest phoenix]

I'm gonna make a discord bot in note pad

[atomic vault]

i cant get opting

[near stratus]

I made my first one in terminal with nano

Not even notepad

[earnest phoenix]

0_0

[near stratus]

What opting ?

[atomic vault]

client.fetchUser

[near stratus]

then try this

client.users.cache.find(user => user.id === 'ID_Here')

if it doesn't work I don't know what will

[atomic vault]

it works
i will try by mysql

[main trench]

I think he is making it so you mention a user

[near stratus]

mentions.users.first like this ?

[atomic vault]

i am making a bot which gives a role for a member how enter his username or id or anything by that my bot can give a role with mysql

[molten yarrow]

you dont need mysql to give a role

[main trench]

Message.mentions.members.first()

[atomic vault]

i know

[near stratus]

how do you want the commands to be ?
like
!give @user @role ??

[atomic vault]

no it will give role when he registers in that site

[molten yarrow]

depends how u build your site...

[near stratus]

What does the site take as input ?
Id or name ?
also is the user already in your server ?
You might need an api

[atomic vault]

site is simple with php and mysql

[molten yarrow]

than use oauth2 to login with discord

[atomic vault]

how to make it

[molten yarrow]

google it

[near stratus]

We're not supposed to spoonfed codes

[atomic vault]

thanks i will try it

[leaden cliff]

What is wrong with this?

I have fixed all the other errors.

Except from this.

@main trench

[gusty quest]

DiscordjsError: Request to use token, but token was unavailable to the client. what to do? this is code: ```
const Discord = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
name: 'die',
description: "this is a die command!",
execute(client, message, args){

    const ownerID = '735890738721718363'

    if(message.member.id === ownerID) {
        const kurac = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
        .setAuthor('Among Bot', 'https://i.imgur.com/ti8MDoI.png')
        .setDescription(':tam: This is my last message before die, sorry i must go for some time! :Yes~3:')
        message.channel.send(kurac);

        client.destroy();
    } else {
        message.channel.send('Only bot developers can do this command. :No~3:')
    }
}

}```

[molten yarrow]

message.channel.send() doesnt have .execute() function

[leaden cliff]

When I say ping it says ping instead of pong.

[delicate shore]

Send your code

[leaden cliff]

It is copying this:

I am trying to get it to do it from this:

When it was like this it would not work:

I got it to work but it was not doing the thing from ping.js.

[sudden geyser]

that doesn't make sense

[leaden cliff]

Does.

[sudden geyser]

doubt

[leaden cliff]

How to do it then?

[umbral zealot]

learnjavascriptplzplzplz

[gusty quest]

please someone? 😄

[molten yarrow]

we told him already, but he dont like javascript because he using Node

[umbral zealot]

LearnNodePlzPlzPlz

[leaden cliff]

Omg.

Just tell me how to fix it!

[umbral zealot]

No. Go learn the language

[earnest phoenix]

by learning node

[umbral zealot]

it's not our job to hand hold you through every single line of writing your bot

Nobody wants to do that.

[leaden cliff]

I have fixed many errors on my own.

[sudden geyser]

ping.js is a file in commands/ping.js. You want to call the execute function defined in the exports. message.channel.send(...) has nothing to do with it, so what you're really looking to do is require commands/ping.js and call execute(...).

You'll need to learn the language & Node because you can do this.

[restive furnace]

just use old good yanderdev way instead

[earnest phoenix]

@tasks.loop(seconds=300)
    async def cpucheck(self):
        print(self.bot.index)
        self.bot.index += 1
        print(psutil.cpu_percent())
        if psutil.cpu_percent() == None:
            cpuuse = 0 
        elif psutil.cpu_percent() != None:
            cpuuse = int(round(psutil.cpu_percent() / 10)) 
        print(cpuuse)
        cpunorm = 10
        cpuhigh = 50
        if cpuuse ==None:
            print("Waiting for cpu reading")
        elif cpuuse < cpunorm:
            await self.bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online,activity=discord.Game(name=status))
        elif cpuuse > cpunorm:
            await self.bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle,activity=discord.Game(name=status))
        elif cpuuse > cpuhigh:
            await self.bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.dnd,activity=discord.Game(name=status))

Everytime the bot start i get an exception

idk whats wrong

could i do smth likes this before it starts the loop?

[hollow sedge]

Yes

[stark abyss]

    let isUser;
    pool.query(`SELECT * from lotterystats WHERE id = ${message.author.id}`, (err, res) => {
      if(err) return console.log(err);
      if(!res.rows[0]){
        console.log("false")
        isUser = 'false'
        return;
      }
      console.log(res.rows[0] + " res 0 ")
      isUser = res.rows[0].id
    })
    return console.log(isUser  +  " is user last"); 

so it's console logging is user last first and then false for that reason isUser stays undefined

i did try doing await pool.query but it doesn't work

[floral creek]

Why des my bot asks for permision when edditing the help cmd

?

[stark abyss]

what kek?

show error / code

[floral creek]

O no, solved it

[loud ingot]

module.exports = {
   name: "ping",
   description: "this is a ping command!",
   
   execute(message, args) => {
       message.channel.send('\:ping_pong: Pong!'
    }
}

[near cipher]

Does anyone know the error?

[cosmic forum]

anyone know what the best db to use for nodejs is?

[umbral zealot]

There is no "best" DB.

[cosmic forum]

Well, most popular db?

[umbral zealot]

There are local dbs, server dbs, sql, nosql, etc

[near cipher]

[lusty quest]

i like MongoDB

[umbral zealot]

What do you need to store, aakhilv?

[cosmic forum]

Local/server is fine

Um, just values for log channels and stuff

[umbral zealot]

Then you could just use my enmap module, it should be fine for you

even got a per-server configuration example in the docs 😄

[cosmic forum]

Alright, do you mind linking it?

[umbral zealot]

https://enmap.evie.dev/

[cosmic forum]

thx

[lusty quest]

enmap has some downsides

ive used it for a while

[umbral zealot]

Such as?

[lusty quest]

until it used 1 GB ram

[umbral zealot]

Well it does store things in memory so yes. And it can't scale to sharded bots. but it's good for starters.

[lusty quest]

thats true

[pale vessel]

1gb

[leaden cliff]

I put ping where the pong is without noticing it...

[umbral zealot]

What's the problem with it though? do you get an actual error message or something?

[umbral zealot]

go learn javascript.

[leaden cliff]

I am learning it!

[umbral zealot]

No you're not, you're struggling to make a bot , not learning javascript.

[stark abyss]

    let isUser;
    pool.query(`SELECT * from lotterystats WHERE id = ${message.author.id}`, (err, res) => {
      if(err) return console.log(err);
      if(!res.rows[0]){
        console.log("false")
        isUser = 'false'
        return;
      }
      console.log(res.rows[0] + " res 0 ")
      isUser = res.rows[0].id
    })
    return console.log(isUser  +  " is user last"); 

so it's console logging is user last first and then false for that reason isUser stays undefined
I did try await pool.query same response

[umbral zealot]

That's because pool.query isn't a promise so you can't await it.

[stark abyss]

oh

really?

[umbral zealot]

It's clearly a callback method, not a promise one. You'll have to use a better module that uses promises

Better yet, don't use mysql, it's crap 😛

[stark abyss]

i am using postgres what do u recommend using then

🤔

[umbral zealot]

Ah! nevermind then, pgsql is fine

[stark abyss]

yeah

[umbral zealot]

But find a pgsql module that supports promises
