i cant find

[quartz kindle]

users.get(id) = User
members.get(id) = Member
members.get(id).user = User

[proper bolt]

you cant get everything spoonfed

[gilded olive]

does it not auto convert the user to an id?

[earnest phoenix]

[ruby niche]

Hello ! I'm trying to insert new request in sequelize dynamically but I don't find a way to do ... Here my basic request

// ...
where: {
  [Op.or]: {
    field1: {[Op.like]: `%${value}%`},
    field2 : {[Op.between]: [...]}
}
// ...

The fact is that I want to add a new value to search into field1 and being able to find rows that can contain one of both value but I don't know how to add this new value and I don't know how many new value have to be queried ... A loop is required ... but how to create this request, i don't know
PS : just doing this bellow isn't enough sadly

//...
field1: {[Op.like]: `%${value}% %${value2}%`}
//...

Is someone better than me please ;-; ?

[umbral zealot]

Where do you see this? What are you doing? What is your code?

we need a lot more information

a lot more.

[quartz kindle]

looks like dblapi.js

[umbral zealot]

401 is very general lol

[earnest phoenix]

bot.js
dblapi.js error

[quartz kindle]

dblapi.js has Oops! ${err} in their example pages

[proper bolt]

probably not providing a token, or its invalid

[quartz kindle]

so i recognize the error structure

[gilded olive]

you need an key right?

[quartz kindle]

you used the wrong token

[gilded olive]

token is probably not being provided or it is invalid

[umbral zealot]

You cannot use the API until your bot has been approved, by the way. So... that's probably it?

[sterile lantern]

i have an array as my cmd handler but not a collection, so how would i work with cooldowns

i looked at djs docs

but thats for cmd handlers as a disc collection

[proper bolt]

you could do something like a Set or whatever with timestamps and the command name

set a cooldown after its ran

[earnest phoenix]

ah sorry :/ I forgot it

Thank you

[sterile lantern]

yea but i dont wanna do that for all the cmds

i just want it

in index.js

i have a module.exports config

[proper bolt]

so how are you storing the commands

[sterile lantern]

so i can just do

[proper bolt]

is there like a command.name

[sterile lantern]

coooldown: 5,

like that

yes

const commandName = args[0].toLowerCase();
    args.shift();
    const command = commandList.find((cmd) => cmd.name === commandName || cmd.config.aliases.includes(commandName));
    if(!command) return;```

[proper bolt]

you could do something like const cooldown = {commandName:[ {user id: timestamp} ]};

then if it doesnt exist or is past 5 seconds

[sterile lantern]

lemme shwo u what i have for cooldowns rn

show*

[proper bolt]

set the value to Date.now()

[sterile lantern]

 const cooldown = new Discord.Collection();
  if (!command.config.cooldown) {
        cooldown.set(commandName, new Discord.Collection());
    }

    const now = Date.now();
    const timestamps = cooldown.get(commandName);
    const cooldownAmount = (command.config.cooldown || 3) * 1000;

    if (timestamps.has(message.author.id)) {
        const expirationTime = timestamps.get(message.author.id) + cooldownAmount;

        if (now < expirationTime) {
            const timeLeft = (expirationTime - now) / 1000;
            return message.reply(`please wait ${timeLeft.toFixed(1)} more second(s) before reusing the \`${command.name}\` command.`);
        }
    }

    timestamps.set(message.author.id, now);
    setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(message.author.id), cooldownAmount);```

[proper bolt]

yeah

is that not working?

[sterile lantern]

nope

the command doesnt error

but

[proper bolt]

what about it doesnt work

[sterile lantern]

the cooldown

doesnt work

it lets me repeat the commands twice

in 5 secs

the cooldown is 5 sec

[timber fractal]

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

module.exports = {
    name: "trigger",
    description: "Triggers somebody",

    async run (client, message, args) {
        const member =  message.mentions.members.first().user() ||  message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]).user() ||message.author;

        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);
    }
}  ``` Why if i use this it says "cannot read property of user of undefined"?

[sterile lantern]

user isnt defined

[proper bolt]

no

[sterile lantern]

i think

idk

[timber fractal]

so

what

?

[proper bolt]

the property where he is getting user on is undefined

[sterile lantern]

o

[proper bolt]

message.mentions.members.first()

there is no mention

[timber fractal]

what

but

thats true

but

why

its not getting another one of them

[proper bolt]

what

[timber fractal]

like there is no mention it goes to control if there is a Id or if there is no ID it just returns the message.author

[proper bolt]

what

[timber fractal]

like

[sterile lantern]

what exactly would i need to change here

im thinking maybe const cooldown = new Discord.Collection

[proper bolt]

ok ill take a look at your cooldown stuff

[sterile lantern]

because my commands are in an array

[timber fractal]

i made this so first it tries to see if the author mentioned somebody and if thats not true it see if the author sent someaones ID and then if there is no ID too it will returns the message.author

[proper bolt]

no but you could do

msg.mentions.members.size ? message.mentions.members.first().user() : msg.author

[sterile lantern]

i tried doing client.cooldown = cooldown

[proper bolt]

thats not the problem

[sterile lantern]

but that obvs doesnt work since cooldown is just being defined

[misty sigil]

I do

[proper bolt]

log the collection

[sterile lantern]

wym

[proper bolt]

if (!command.config.cooldown) {
cooldown.set(commandName, new Discord.Collection());
}

shouldnt this be

if (command.config.cooldown) {
cooldown.set(commandName, new Discord.Collection());
}

[sterile lantern]

no

its saying if theres no cooldown

then set one with

wait

o

one sec

[proper bolt]

if there is one then it doesnt set it

[sterile lantern]

i mean i did that

but

it still doesnt trigger

the cooldown

const config = {
    description: 'Shows a list of commands.',
    aliases: [],
    usage: '',
    cooldown: 5,
    rolesRequired: []
}```

its in the config

i think theres something wrong with the timestamp stuff

const now = Date.now();
    const timestamps = cooldown.get(commandName);
    const cooldownAmount = (command.config.cooldown || 3) * 1000;

    if (timestamps.has(message.author.id)) {
        const expirationTime = timestamps.get(message.author.id) + cooldownAmount;```

command.config.cooldown

that should work

[proper bolt]

  const cooldown = new Discord.Collection();
  if (!command.config.cooldown) {
        command.config.cooldown = 3
  }
    if (!cooldown.has(commandName)) cooldown.set(commandName, new Discord.Collection());

    const now = Date.now();
    const timestamps = cooldown.get(commandName);
    const cooldownAmount = (command.config.cooldown || 3) * 1000;

    if (timestamps.has(message.author.id)) {
        const expirationTime = timestamps.get(message.author.id) + cooldownAmount;

        if (now < expirationTime) {
            const timeLeft = (expirationTime - now) / 1000;
            return message.reply(`please wait ${timeLeft.toFixed(1)} more second(s) before reusing the \`${command.name}\` command.`);
        }
    }

    timestamps.set(message.author.id, now);
    setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(message.author.id), cooldownAmount);

try that

you were resetting the commands cooldown every run

[sterile lantern]

doesnt work

it jsut

just*

lets me use help twice

without restricting me

this is in seconds right

if its in millseconds then its obvs not working for a reason

milliseconds*

[proper bolt]

*1000 gets you ms from s

[sterile lantern]

so its in s

yea idk why it doesnt work

[proper bolt]

one sec ill try running it

[sterile lantern]

i think its bc my cmd file isnt requiring it?

not sure

yea bc

const config = {

when i type aliases it automatically pops up

doesnt happen for cooldown

[proper bolt]

wait do you have const cooldown = new Discord.collection in on message

[sterile lantern]

yes

[proper bolt]

move it out of it

[sterile lantern]

wow im so so dumb

it works

tysm

wait but

[proper bolt]

i thought you had it outside on message

lmao

[sterile lantern]

how would i set custom

[slender wagon]

 if(!reason) reason = 'Unspecified';
                           ^

TypeError: Assignment to constant variable.
``` what have i done wrong

[sterile lantern]

cooldown msgs

for each cmd

[proper bolt]

@slender wagon reason is a const

change it to let

[sterile lantern]

like You cannot rob <user> for another <>!

[slender wagon]

ohh right thanks

[proper bolt]

you can use ${commandName}

you could make like a property on the command called cooldownMsg

[sterile lantern]

hm

const cooldownMsg = 'msg'

[proper bolt]

and make it you cannot do whatever for <S> seconds

and then replace <S> with the seconds

[earnest phoenix]

Sigh.... anyone know how I can connect my coding to my discord bot?

[sterile lantern]

yeah i want to make it so u cant rob for 2 hours

but it will show in seconds

so i want that to convert to hours

[proper bolt]

what

thats html

[midnight blaze]

@earnest phoenix where is the coding?

[proper bolt]

yeah you could just / 60 / 60

[sterile lantern]

but then that would

apply to all cmds

eek

wait

[proper bolt]

no

you could make the thing <H> in the message

and replace <H> with hours

or

[sterile lantern]

so in the cmd

have

const cooldownMsg = 'text'

right

[proper bolt]

its one way of doing it

[sterile lantern]

then in index.js

[proper bolt]

yeah

[sterile lantern]

have it call the cooldownMsg

and send that

but idk how to do that exactly

[proper bolt]

you could then do command.cooldownMsg.replace('<H>', hours)

[sterile lantern]

return message.reply(cooldownMsg);

but how would i define cooldownMsg in

index.js

[proper bolt]

return message.reply(command.cooldownMsg.replace('<H>', hours))

or whatever

its one way of doing it

[sterile lantern]

ohhh

ok

command.cooldownMsg

would work

for

just having it in the cmd

ok that made no sense

// in index.js:

return msg.reply(command.cooldownMsg)```

example of a non-hour cooldown

[earnest phoenix]

how do you set a bots status? i cant seem to find anything

[proper bolt]

client.user.setActivity()

if its discord.js

[earnest phoenix]

its dsharpPlus

[sterile lantern]

client.user.setActivity

o

what is that?

[earnest phoenix]

C#

[sterile lantern]

o

yeah i never programmed in that

[proper bolt]

https://dsharpplus.github.io/api/DSharpPlus.Entities.DiscordActivity.html

[earnest phoenix]

oh shit tysm

[sterile lantern]

ok i did it

now i just gotta uh

fix the cooldownMsg for robbing

oh uh

[earnest phoenix]

hi

[sterile lantern]

timeLeftofixed is not defined

oh gawd i gotta add that in all cmd files

oooof

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern just use fs to write to every single file

[sterile lantern]

huh

[fallow lichen]

what is the best libraries and database with a bot?

[sterile lantern]

depends on how complex you code

not really but

if ur a beginner in js

quick.db is a great db 2 use

[fallow lichen]

do you have any with python?

[sly panther]

Hey, I'm new to discord bots, but does anyone know a bot that can do a reaction role that triggers a "@mention"?

[knotty obsidian]

how can i make a uban command
when i made it and used it, it throws an index out of bounds exeption

idk why

do i need to fetch the bans and remove the selected ban?

[fallow lichen]

about all roles bots and many giveaway bots

[sterile lantern]

yes

kinda

[knotty obsidian]

how can i do that

[sterile lantern]

or honestly use the unban function

that should work

[knotty obsidian]

i am

[sterile lantern]

and catch error

if they aren't banned then it sends "user is not banned!'

example

[knotty obsidian]

the error is out of bounds

[sterile lantern]

p

o*

uhh idrk about unbanning, never did anything related to it

lol

[sly panther]

I was trying to use Carl bot, but I don't seem to find a command specifically for that

[outer perch]

congrats, before verification, i could get the users' presence, now I can't 😦

[hollow sedge]

You need to enable the intent in the dashboard @outer perch

[outer perch]

I haven't reached 100 members yet

[hollow sedge]

You just said you got verified?

[outer perch]

yes

before 100

[lilac lake]

Hi I can't get to put the bot I created in my server

[hollow sedge]

Why don't you just try enabling it

[hollow sedge]

You can generate a link in the dashboard

[lilac lake]

Okay

[outer perch]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[hollow sedge]

Well I cant think of any other reason for why it would stop

[sterile lantern]

how would i make the bot say:
Please wait **1 hour 5 minutes 3 seconds** before using this command!

at the moment its using
const timeLeft = (expirationTime - now) / 1000;

[outer perch]

should I ask support from Discord?

or just wait until 100?

[sterile lantern]

are you verified dev?

or is that on a team?

[hollow sedge]

You might as well ask them

[sterile lantern]

because if your bot is in 100 servers

you cant do that manually

[terse berry]

Hello

[hollow sedge]

It's not, they just explained that

[terse berry]

How do you make the up and down moving animation for your bots logo

[earnest phoenix]

discord activity doesnt exist

lol

[hollow sedge]

Bruh

[hollow sedge]

How specific of you

[terse berry]

Hm?

On your bots page

[outer perch]

I verified before adding to a team, since I couldn't transfer it, I asked Discord, and got it into the team now

[terse berry]

Like Carl bot has I think

[hollow sedge]

You just leaked your token

[earnest phoenix]

fuck

[terse berry]

Lmfao

[earnest phoenix]

well then

[sterile lantern]

u should regenerate that

there may be token snipers in here

[earnest phoenix]

already did

[outer perch]

you never know 👁‍🗨

[earnest phoenix]

well gl with that i already changed it

:)

[terse berry]

Does someone know how to make animation for your bot's logo on top.gg page with html

[hollow sedge]

Can't you just inspect to see how it was done

[terse berry]

Hmm

[sudden geyser]

It seems you want to make the date shown relatively. You could use the ms package to show the time in a human friendly form ("X hours", "Y minutes", "Z seconds", etc.). If you want to be more specific ("X hours, Y minutes and Z seconds"), you could use the modulo operator with the ms package to get the total for each time frame.

Of course, you could implement it yourself. Get the time in ms, divide enough to get it in hours, and say how much time from there. ```js
// now is Date.now() + 10000 (10 seconds in the future)

${(now - Date.now()) / 1000} seconds

Maybe the `moment` package has something in store for you.

[outer perch]

so i did a false affirmation, the app wasn't trasnferred to the team

[sterile lantern]

uh

`Please wait ${timeLeft.hours}h ${timeLeft.minutes}m ${timeLeft.seconds}s before reusing the \`${command.name}\` command,` + `${message.author}` + '!'``,```

i have this

in

my cmd

but

timeLeft is index.js

so how do i define that

because if i define timeLeft

i would have to define commandList

then commandName

then command

in the command file

should i just do const timeLeft = require('../index.js')

[outer perch]

check moment.js documentation

[sterile lantern]

but i dont think that would work

i cant really use moment.js

because

[hollow sedge]

Wait whst

[sterile lantern]

the cooldown is set in index.js

[hollow sedge]

How is timeLeft index.js

[sterile lantern]

i just want a custom cooldown msg

because

its in there

but im saying that wont work

[hollow sedge]

Oh

[sterile lantern]

so i dont know how else

to define timeLeft

without adding the cooldown function into my cmd file

[terse berry]

this is what it shows to me when I click inspect on the pfp, what am I supposed to do here lol

[sterile lantern]

wait so if a file is in a command folder

how would i require index.js

..index.js wont work

./index.js doesnt work either

[hollow sedge]

I don't see any animation on this bot's page

[sterile lantern]

../index.js

hm

[terse berry]

oh god im dum

[sterile lantern]

yea i dont know how this is going to work ;-;

[terse berry]

I'm not able to find a bot where it is animated wtf

[sterile lantern]

well i did this

and i got this

Please wait undefinedh undefinedm undefineds before reusing the rob command

it comes out as undefined

cooldownMsg: `Please wait ${timeLeft.hours}h ${timeLeft.minutes}m ${timeLeft.seconds}s before reusing the rob command, `,```

[cinder sandal]

timeLeft doesn't hve a hours and munites and seconds property

[sterile lantern]

o

well

[cinder sandal]

instead, use

[sterile lantern]

if i just did

{timeLeft}

it comes out

as

object object

[cinder sandal]

${timeLeft.toFixed(1)}```

[sterile lantern]

but timeLeft is defined in index.js

what does that do/

?

[cinder sandal]

it would show only seconds, i don't know how to show hours etc.

[sterile lantern]

oooof

[cinder sandal]

it shows the seconds remaining

[sterile lantern]

yea that sucks

i need 2 hours

or should i just do

[cinder sandal]

like 10.0s

[sterile lantern]

ik

i want 2 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds

like that

😔

let time = ms(timeout - (Date.now() -cooldown));

this will work

buttt

the only problem is that time wont be defined in the command

since its in index.js

ugh

wait

maybe i should do

if ${command.name} === rob

then

message.channel.send(this msg)

would that work

[terse berry]

@hollow sedge how to add bg like this bot https://top.gg/bot/623545336484462593

[copper cradle]

css

[terse berry]

hmm

[copper cradle]

oh wait

no

that's an iframe

and if you're talking about the background image then yes

it's css

[terse berry]

like

just how

lol

[sterile lantern]

AYYY OMG I DID IT

if (`${command.name}` === 'add-xp') return message.reply("this will work")```

[terse berry]

@copper cradle do you know how to do it in css

[sterile lantern]

it replied with this will work

:DDDD ok perfect

ty all sm

[earnest phoenix]

Hey! I literally have no idea what I'm doing, and now I own a Moderation bot, and a Music bot, if someone could help me please do, because I spent 11 hours yesterday making them, and I probably messed up so hard, because now they are offline :D

[sterile lantern]

check ur logs

also, my cooldowns reset if my bot restarts

anyone know how 2 change that

or maybe i should save it with a db

idk

[knotty obsidian]

if (ReplacePrefix.startsWith("unban")) {
  if (event.getMember().hasPermission(Permission.BAN_MEMBERS)) {
    event.getGuild().unban(event.getMessage().getMentionedUsers().get(0)).queue();
    event.getChannel().sendMessage("Successfully unbanned " + event.getMessage().getMentionedUsers().get(0).getName()).queue();
  } else {
    event.getChannel().sendMessage("You must have the `Ban Members` permission to use this command!").queue();
  }
}

When I do S!unban <@{userid}> it sends a index out of bounds exception, how can i fix this?

[sterile lantern]

what are you coding in??

[knotty obsidian]

java

[sterile lantern]

oh makes sense

uh

try doing S!unban

if it sends "Sucessfully unbanned" something wrong wth ur error msgs

with*

[knotty obsidian]

also send index out of bounds

[sterile lantern]

o

rip

not too sure abt this one

[knotty obsidian]

people say .unban(user) should work

is ther somthing wrong with .get(0)

[earnest phoenix]

hi

does node.js have support for Web Audio API?

I'm making a music botum

[sterile lantern]

so currently my db

has money stored as

money_${message.author.id}

so i want to make a leaderboard

how would i fetch ALL the values of money

i dont think this would work

let money = db.fetch(`money_`, { sort: '.data'})```

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern make an index

[crimson vapor]

has anyone made a bot on scratch.mit.edu yet?

im still waiting

[restive furnace]

@earnest phoenix ffmpeg

[sterile lantern]

huh wdym

for what

[earnest phoenix]

what's that

[sterile lantern]

also why is it saying it cant read property of length for this

for (let i = 0; i < money.length; i++) {```

[restive furnace]

@earnest phoenix yes dont ask i odnt know anything abtnit

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern just keep an index of people's money with their ids there and then just sort it

the stuff you already store in database should be fine

[sterile lantern]

in my db

its just

money_userid

so how would i sort the top money

like that

let money = db.fetch(`money_`, { sort: '.data'})```

this doesnt work unfortunately

[solemn latch]

what lib is this?

[sterile lantern]

for me?

im using d.js

[solemn latch]

for your database

[crimson vapor]

quickdb?

Woo congrats on bot reviewer

[sterile lantern]

quickdb

yes

[solemn latch]

ty

does quickdb even have a sort parameter?

[coarse galleon]

So this is where you pay for advertising

[sterile lantern]

uh

yes

i think so

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern try adding a money_index property to every Guild object in your code which is a Discord.Collection

then just set stuff in that when people run economy commands

[umbral zealot]

This is a development channel, got nothing to do with advertising.

[coarse galleon]

Ah so sorry

[earnest phoenix]

and when somebody requests the leaderboard, sort the Map and send it in the channel

[sterile lantern]

uh

well

its just one server

so i dont wanna add a guild object

is it not possible

to sort

from the users

its just

money_id

so i just sort the integer

from money_id

see if i were to fetch a users bal

it would be money_${member.id}

so how would i just fetch everyones bal?

[sand condor]

can you stop typing like that

[solemn latch]

db.all()

[sterile lantern]

well that would fetch everything in the db

i just want all money

not the cooldown stuff

[solemn latch]

One of the major issues with quickdb is it has hardly any features.

[terse berry]

@solemn latch oh wow you're a bot reviewer now

[solemn latch]

yeah

[ionic ermine]

Why is this code not working on the site?

    border-radius: 50% !important;
    border: 3px solid purple;
    animation: float 5s ease-in-out infinite;
}```

[sterile lantern]

 let user = bot.users.cache.get(money[i].ID.split('_')[1]).username```

username is undefined

well it says it cant read the property rather

[terse berry]

Does anyone know how to add dropshadow to the comment text on your bot page?

[sterile lantern]

well i guess this is good news, kinda?

except for the fact it doesnt have the user which ill fix in a sec

how would i make it so it only prints the numbers 660, 597, 3, 0

aka the four balances

and this doesnt work for some odd reason

    let user = bot.users.cache.get(money[i].ID.split('_')[1]).username```

[knotty obsidian]

anyone know how to make a uban command

[knotty obsidian]

that

[sudden geyser]

IndexOutOfBoundsException is coming from event.getMessage().getMentionedUsers().get(0), so for some reason, no users were mentioned in the message.

or no users are being recorded as mentioned when it should

[terse berry]

Can someone tell me how to add text shadow to a text on the bot's page?

[compact nexus]

How can I define the private library in my robot

[molten yarrow]

its text-shadow

[terse berry]

robot

[sudden geyser]

What do you mean?

[terse berry]

yeah ik that

but where do I put it

[tired panther]

which private libary?

which coding language?

[molten yarrow]

to the class where you want it to be?

[terse berry]

uh

[compact nexus]

How can I add the library in my bot

[sudden geyser]

You need to be specific.

What library.

[compact nexus]

discord.py

[terse berry]

I tried it in ".comment-content mb-3", but didn't work

[sudden geyser]

Do you want to install a library?

See https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html#prerequisites

[molten yarrow]

than its the wrong class, because mb-3 is the Box if im not wrong

[umbral zealot]

Do you mean to ask how you can show what library you're using on top.gg, or something else? Please rephrase the question.

[tired panther]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('pong')

bot.run('token')

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html and this link

[terse berry]

can you tell me which class is for comments

I can't find anything

[compact nexus]

thx

[tired panther]

no problem

Is there any way to make a global variable through files? I'm learning about using a command handler and I understand now but other than module.exports is there any way to make a global variable that can be acessed through all my files

[wind vault]

Hello, how are you? I need to know how to do a say command that the bot can say anything with more than 1 arg, how is it done? in discord.py

[compact nexus]

no problem

🙂

[sudden geyser]

If you're using the command framework, discord.py explains this: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#variable

[molten yarrow]

working on .comment-content for me

[terse berry]

hmm

[molten yarrow]

if you mean the comments

[terse berry]

uuh

just a sec

[upper elm]

#development message

[molten yarrow]

you need to export it and import in another files

[upper elm]

alr

[sudden geyser]

You could set a global variable under the global scope, but people tend not to do that since it stems from memory leaks: js global.x = "y"
You could also do what Alina said and export and import from another file. I'd only use the global approach if you want something to live through the entire lifespan of the program and don't want to go through the hassel of exporting and importing

[upper elm]

ok thank you

[sterile lantern]

how would you make it so a user can specify a user ID and it returns that user id's profile

i forgot

[upper elm]

discord.js?

[sterile lantern]

yes

const user = message.mentions.users.first() || message.author

thats what i have rn

but thats checking for mentions

i want user ids to be a valid 'user' too

[molten yarrow]

let the line check if args has an ID

[sterile lantern]

uh

message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0])```

would this work

[molten yarrow]

if that id is cached yes

[sterile lantern]

oof it doesnt work

[molten yarrow]

where did you put it?

[sterile lantern]

after const user

const user = message.mentions (that function) || msg.author || then that

[terse berry]

@molten yarrow Ok, it worked, thanks a lot

[molten yarrow]

you should check before message.author

[sterile lantern]

o

ok

[molten yarrow]

message.author is always true

[molten yarrow]

nice :3

[sterile lantern]

and still deosnt work

doesnt*

i dont think message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0])

[upper elm]

Thank you, a global variable is what I'm looking for. But how do do I access a global variable?

[sterile lantern]

looks for ID

[earnest phoenix]

you're passing a raw mention string into it

Nobody pings users like this: hey 503948134439976972 how's your day going?

[sterile lantern]

mhm i dont want them to ping

[tired panther]

one sec

[sterile lantern]

i just want their user ID

to work

[earnest phoenix]

why can't you just let them ping users

[sterile lantern]

its just a different way

so ppl dont get annoyed if someone spams

[tired panther]

client.guilds.cache.get(message.guild.id).members.cache.get(message.author.id)
``` @sterile lantern

[sterile lantern]

the ;profile cmd

o

ty

[earnest phoenix]

I designed a single line of code a few months ago that had every single way to find a user from the message so you can ping them or send the id or even just send the username

ONE SINGLE LINE

[wind vault]

°ayuda

[tired panther]

lol,

want to take a look xD

[earnest phoenix]

i thought it's in my backup repl somewhere in my profile command too

what a coincidence

[sterile lantern]

ok turns out that doesnt work

uhh

[crimson vapor]

why would you want a line of code so long

[sterile lantern]

how would i make it so

the nickname of the user

is a valid option

so ;profile samm

[tired panther]

that will work,

[sterile lantern]

that doent

doesnt*

returns as undefined for message.author

[restive furnace]

maybe bcs not cached

pls use fetch instd

[tired panther]

give ur parameters @sterile lantern , which u overgive the command

[sterile lantern]

the ones that i use

like message.author

?

  const user = message.mentions.users.first() || client.guilds.cache.get(message.guild.id).members.cache.get(message.author.id) || message.author ```

thats terribly formatted but ignore

[crimson vapor]

thats redundant

[tired panther]

it woeks by me

[crimson vapor]

it works but no point

you are doing

[sterile lantern]

all i want is

;profile samm

to display my profile

say my nickname is

james

;profile james

[obsidian meadow]

[sterile lantern]

would display my profile

[crimson vapor]

user = first mention || cache.get guild .get author || author

[sterile lantern]

o

hm

actually doing ;profile james would result in conflict

so uh

just user ID

ig

[pale vessel]

what

[earnest phoenix]

Can't find it

What?

[tired panther]

look it works

[crimson vapor]

@modern sable #development message

[pale vessel]

Bismillah

[tired panther]

bruh

[earnest phoenix]

@pale vessel for what lol?

But i remember it thoroughly tho (you never know it might come handy)

[crimson vapor]

marco best mod

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix this isn't #memes-and-media lmao

LOL

[pale vessel]

Marco uses his macros

[earnest phoenix]

why u shitposting here

[modern sable]

@earnest phoenix random images in #memes-and-media

[tired panther]

xD

[crimson vapor]

@modern sable you best mod

[earnest phoenix]

@modern sable it’s just a small Code it’s secret

[sterile lantern]

that gets ur id tho

author id

[tired panther]

yes and u want the name

or nickname?

[sterile lantern]

well either of those

can result in conflict

so i think id

will be better

since if two ppl have same nickname bot chooses random one

so yea

[wind vault]

How is it done for when a person puts an invalid or incorrect command that the bot tells him which command is not available?

[sterile lantern]

just do !command

if(!command) return msg.reply("That is not a valid command");

[tired panther]

yes fetch always with the id

[sterile lantern]

aight then ill just use id

since its simpler

ty for da help

[tired panther]

xD. good conclusion

[crimson vapor]

if (command == undefined)

[wind vault]

What would the entire script look like as such?

[earnest phoenix]

here it is
spoonfeeding on the next fucking level

let mentionedMember = message.mentions.members.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[1]) || message.guild.members.cache.find(x => x.user.username.startsWith(message.content.substring(`${prefix}${command.name} `))) || message.member;

[wind vault]

Is in discord.py

Python

How is it done for when a person puts an invalid or incorrect command that the bot tells him which command is not available?

[earnest phoenix]

the bot literally just checks if the command exists

[pale vessel]

bro why filter when you can just use find()

[earnest phoenix]

i didnt know it existed

[crimson vapor]

why .first when you can use [0]

[pale vessel]

also you are mixing users and members

since you don't use indexes on collections

it should be message.member

[earnest phoenix]

two edits later it's now perfect

[pale vessel]

also, nice, x gang

[restive furnace]

why [0] when you can use ?.[0]

[pale vessel]

redundancy

[crimson vapor]

wait

undefined[0] undefined?.[0]

[pale vessel]

Yes

[lusty quest]

only in node 14+

[sudden geyser]

the future is now

[crimson vapor]

who isnt using node 14+

[lusty quest]

probably 70% of the JS user here who have no plan on how to update

[pale vessel]

nodejs

[crimson vapor]

I always just install the newest version so I don't have to ever update

[sudden geyser]

Node.js has a lot of updates frequently

[lusty quest]

what about a running server? a vps usually dont does it by itself

[restive furnace]

i have nodejs 15 alr

nabs

idc abt the major bugs there

[earnest phoenix]

repl won't let me change the node version

[crimson vapor]

oof

[cinder patio]

buy a vps

you pleb

[sand condor]

then don't use repl

[earnest phoenix]

vps for private bot why

[lusty quest]

buy a Raspberri pi

[crimson vapor]

I have a rpi2

it is currently using 100% cpu and I can't restart it because something broke

im also too lazy to unplug it

[lusty quest]

have a RPI 3 running pihole and a unify controller.

[astral yoke]

await data.save()
}``` why does this return with ```(node:15228) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: data.save is not a function```

[willow mirage]

how much is rpi3 ?

[lusty quest]

you need to save to your Schema not a random value

[lusty quest]

when ive bought it together with a SD card and Case 50€

[tired panther]

are u using mongoose or sql?

[astral yoke]

mongoose

[lusty quest]

thats mongodb syntax

[tired panther]

I use it to

[astral yoke]

i might know the reason

[lusty quest]

try await warns.save()

[tired panther]

one sec , have a code

 static async fetchGuild(gldid) {
  
    if (!gldid) throw new TypeError("A guild id was not provided.");

    const isguild = await set.findOne({gldid: gldid });
    if (isguild) return false;

    const newguild = new set({
      gldid: gldid,
      
    });

    await newguild.save().catch(e => console.log(`Failed to create guild: ${e}`));
    console.log("Guild fetched");
    return newguild;
  }

here

@astral yoke

NOw he is afk

[ember crystal]

My 8ball command

[royal herald]

is that dbd or somthing

[onyx wind]

anyone using gcloud to hosting bots?

gcloud firewall probably blocking requests from top.gg apis and i cant use that..

[quartz kindle]

just unblock it

[onyx wind]

how can i do that?

[quartz kindle]

in your google cloud admin panel thingy

[onyx wind]

but i need to know top.gg api server and port for unblock that

[quartz kindle]

no you dont

you need to unblock your own port

for example if you host the webhook server in port 5000, you unblock port 5000 in the firewall for all IPs

[onyx wind]

i cant select all IPs

[quartz kindle]

you can

[earnest phoenix]

did you create a static address

[quartz kindle]

type that in the IP

[onyx wind]

priority 1000

?

[quartz kindle]

ye thats the default

leave it as that

[onyx wind]

thats good?

[quartz kindle]

you want to use webhooks?

[onyx wind]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

what port did you put your webhooks on?

[onyx wind]

80

[quartz kindle]

really?

[onyx wind]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

then yes

[onyx wind]

i need to reboot vps or something ?

[quartz kindle]

nope

should work right away

or in a couple minutes

[tepid gazelle]

._.

[onyx wind]

now on req bin

{
    "error": "Unauthorized"
}

but when i put header with authorizaton

it showing timeout

it works but
when i try to autorize
the site times out

[quartz kindle]

what does your webserver run on?

[pale vessel]

Potatoes

[onyx wind]

but, without authorization header it works fine

debian 10

It something wrong with my vps im sure, on other hosting it works fine

[pure lion]

whats that cool font everyone is using

the reactive one

@onyx wind whats happening?

[onyx wind]

yeah

i trying to get vote updates on channel with webhooks

whole day

on mine main hosting it didint works properly

i think its something blocking requests from top.gg apis

actually im hosting bot on gcloud, i tried unblock it but it didint works, i still have error : unauthorized

im checking that on req bin

[opal plank]

webhook on port 80

@quartz kindle why didnt you lash out on them for doing that?

[onyx wind]

which port i should use then?

[quartz kindle]

which webserver are you using?

[onyx wind]

express

[quartz kindle]

are you running node.js as root?

[onyx wind]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

ports 1-1024 are privileged ports, only the root user can use them, and therefore they are not recommended

show your express code

[onyx wind]

yeah

[autumn vapor]

anyone know how to host a discord.py bot?

[onyx wind]

When I try to send a request without authorizing i get a response all good but when i try to authorize it times out

[crimson vapor]

If I need to use a db for storing data, how should I reduce the amount of requests I make to it, if I need to save data every few messages or inputs

[pure lion]

caching

[void minnow]

@autumn vapor https://contabo.com

cheapest is like $5 for 4gb ram

[pale vessel]

An interval, maybe

[crimson vapor]

maybe

[autumn vapor]

Thanks

[void minnow]

np

[onyx hare]

so ive tried many endings for this.... and it doesnt loop its starting to frustrate me all i need is, it to loop but every way ive tried returns no error ~ no attempt to loop it or repeat it ive been ffrom docs to doc sbut nothing shows ive tried yt nothing returns what im after anyone able to help

const opus = require('opusscript');
exports.run = async (client, message, args) => {
    const connection = await message.member.voice.channel.join();
    message.member.voice.channel.join()
    const dispatcher = connection.play('Aronchupa-Little-Sis-Nora-The-Woodchuck-Song-[Bass Boosted].mp3', { volume: 0.7 });
    dispatcher.on('start', () => {
        message.channel.send('Radio is Now Playing!');
        console.log('playing audio!');
    });    
    dispatcher.on('finish', () => { 
        play(connection);
    });
}```

[fair pasture]

hm

How can I make it so that when someone sends an image/file and they delete it, it returns nothing?

[dark axle]

@fair pasture Check is the message is deleted.

[fair pasture]

yes but basically

Im doing a logger

and When someone sends a image/file and they delete it

it sends a no value error

[dark axle]

Use try catch

To catch the error before it get's logged and choose what to do maybe send back a response that The image could not be found.

Etc

[fair pasture]

Wait can you give me a exemple of try

[dark axle]

try{
//Your code
}catch(err){
//Send back a message to them
}
@fair pasture

[fair pasture]

I actually forgot how to do try

oh ok i was right lol

just had to confirm

[dark axle]

[fair pasture]

Alright thank yoU!

[dark axle]

[stark abyss]

[quartz kindle]

if it times out it could be that your process is crashing, did you check your logs?

[trim saddle]

@quartz kindle i want to write a discord lib but idk where to start

[quartz kindle]

start with the gateway

[onyx wind]

it fixed probably

[trim saddle]

how to gateway

[dark axle]

Start with thinking on how your lib will be productive and in what ways that would benefit others and features you will provide that other libs do not already @trim saddle

[quartz kindle]

1. pick your http lib, ie: node-fecth
2. pick your websocket lib, ie: ws

install both

[trim saddle]

hmm.

[earnest phoenix]

the gateway is a literal pain

[quartz kindle]

make a request to the discord api, discord sends you ws url, make a request to ws url with ws

once connected, send an identify packet, in json format, with your token and login options

listen to responses, once you receive a ready packet, you will start receiving a shit load of event packets

[earnest phoenix]

this is v6 flowchart, but not a lot of difference between v6 and v8, you can probably check that in the docs; https://s.gus.host/flowchart.svg

[trim saddle]

gateway is dumb

[dark axle]

[quartz kindle]

jesus that flowchart makes me wanna puke

its much easier to understand without looking at it

[earnest phoenix]

xD

[dark axle]

no gateway no lib big boi @trim saddle

[earnest phoenix]

well

[dark axle]

[quartz kindle]

i have a small gateway code ready if you wanna look at

on my abandoned discord lib project

[trim saddle]

please

[earnest phoenix]

discord wants you to move away from the gateway and go all-REST

[quartz kindle]

how are you supposed to receive events through rest tho

webhooks?

[earnest phoenix]

🤷‍♂️

for commands they're planing on using slash commands

[quartz kindle]

telegram uses webhooks

[earnest phoenix]

discord hits up your server with data you need

[quartz kindle]

but it makes everything more expensive because you cant reuse the same connection

[earnest phoenix]

i don't even question their decisions anymore

i bet they don't either

[dark axle]

@trim saddle I took my time to serach this for you :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9IRkwP5lcc&ab_channel=AnsontheDeveloper

[earnest phoenix]

in the meantime im reverse engineering voice v5

to see how video works under the hood

[dark axle]

Lmfao

Meanwhile I inspect discord and think of how facinating it is

It's a web app but an APP

[earnest phoenix]

there's new encryption in voice v5 that's completely undocumented

aead_aes256_gcm

[dark axle]

[earnest phoenix]

it's electron

#1 reason why it eats so much memory lol

[dark axle]

Electron elections my brain still crazy

[earnest phoenix]

it's not even funny anymore like over half of apps i use run on chromium and hog my memory

32gigs really is going to become a minimum

[dark axle]

Ye

It's crazy

[quartz kindle]

nvm about the code, its half broken and very confusing xD

[dark axle]

@quartz kindle lol

[trim saddle]

i'll learn some how

[quartz kindle]

actually fuck it, here

[dark axle]

@trim saddle I sent you a video

[quartz kindle]

use at your own risk

[dark axle]

ooo rar file

[trim saddle]

watching it

[dark axle]

I think you should use Deno SInce the brainstormer who made Node.js Made Deno @trim saddle

He is a big brainer so Deno is stable

[earnest phoenix]

ok thank god ietf has an rfc for aead_aes256_gcm

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5116#page-15

this is going to be my life saviour

video streaming genuinely isn't that different from normal voice connections

there's a few extra payloads that need to be sent to webRTC

[quartz kindle]

you're going to manually decrypt/encrypt video packets?

without a cryptography lib?

[earnest phoenix]

im going to try to

[quartz kindle]

dayum

good luck xD

[earnest phoenix]

thank you im going to need it

if it doesnt work im falling back on this repo https://github.com/bawejakunal/AES-GCM-256

[queen needle]

might need a bit more then luck

[long marsh]

Why though 😄

Unless it's to learn 🤷‍♂️

[quartz kindle]

you could also just use libsodium

[earnest phoenix]

true

interoping sodium

easy

i just want to play around with this for now

[long marsh]

Just seems like you're making more work for yourself, unless you're doing it purposefully to learn 🤷‍♂️

And/or have better control

[earnest phoenix]

unless you're doing it purposefully to learn
just this, taking a crack at it

[quartz kindle]

i mean, exploring these things yourself can be really fun

[dark axle]

I mean either way they still learn

[long marsh]

Ah, gotcha. Carry on, then!

[earnest phoenix]

my main goal is to make an easy tool that you can chuck a user token in and provide experience similar to rabb.it

[quartz kindle]

awesome

[long marsh]

Unfortunately, I don't find fulfilment with learning the in's and out's of a particular service's API / methodology. More on that, if there's a library that handles encryption for me ... they'll 100% do it more sufficiently than I will ever need. More on that, I'll probably never ever use those tools I learned inside of a production sense.

But at the ending of the day, if you enjoy it ... you enjoy it!

[quartz kindle]

so basically a full streaming platform backed by discord xD

[earnest phoenix]

™️

[long marsh]

Good luck, cry!

[earnest phoenix]

thank youu

[long marsh]

Maybe more of a support question, but is top.gg affiliated with discordbotlist?

Perhaps the same company?

[earnest phoenix]

it is the same company

just rebranded itself from discordbotlist to top.gg

[long marsh]

Gotcha. What's the purpose for keeping the dbl around?

[earnest phoenix]

no idea 🤷‍♂️

[quartz kindle]

lazyness

[long marsh]

Possibly still making income

[quartz kindle]

this server was still named "Discord Bot List" for many months after the website was moved to top.gg

only recently it was changed to match the website

[long marsh]

I just submitted my bot on there; however, the general tone is completely different. I came here to ask if their node.js dbl sdk/api thing actually worked for both websites.

[crimson vapor]

Tim

what should I do to efficiently and easily not spam my db but still keep all changes

like if I were to cache and the vps crashes I would lose data

[quartz kindle]

the original author of dblapi left the company, so the lib was moved to a different repo and re-launched on npm recently under top-gg/node-sdk

[long marsh]

Oh, wow. Dang. I'm still using the old one haha

Thanks for letting me know!

[crimson vapor]

wait

Tonkku made dblapi?

[quartz kindle]

ye

[quartz kindle]

yes

[long marsh]

Is the old one technically deprecated?

[quartz kindle]

its marked as deprecated yes, but the code is pretty much unchanged

[long marsh]

Right

[quartz kindle]

except that the new one was made into a ts lib

[long marsh]

That is pretty nice

[quartz kindle]

for some

lmao

[long marsh]

😄

[quartz kindle]

i dont like ts

[long marsh]

I enjoy TS - it matches my background of Java / C++ better 😄

[crimson vapor]

so do you know how I should retain information without losing any data on crashes?

[quartz kindle]

ah nice

[quartz kindle]

depends on how you designed your storage code

[long marsh]

What kind of data are you referring too?

[quartz kindle]

if you want to cache data in memory to take load off your database in the safest way possible, the easiest way is probably redis

[long marsh]

Or memcache

[crimson vapor]

ok ill look into redis

[quartz kindle]

you will still lose data if your vps crashes tho

but not if your bot crashes

[long marsh]

Unless your Redis is hosted somewhere else 😄

[crimson vapor]

mostly the bot crashing

[quartz kindle]

ye lul

[crimson vapor]

which is the issue

memory caching would be good for things that just need to be read but I would rather not cache writes in memory

[long marsh]

Personally, I have a docker image that containerizes both my bot/redis. It works great

There's different types of caching strategies

[quartz kindle]

my bots never crash, only if i restart them

[long marsh]

Same

[crimson vapor]

is there a way to 100% prevent crashes?

[quartz kindle]

code it right

xD

[long marsh]

LOL

That's the system I have personally chosen

[crimson vapor]

well I mean say there is an issue with discordjs and some obsure thing causes it to throw an error

[long marsh]

You catch it

[crimson vapor]

ok

[long marsh]

You can catch an unhandlederror in your client.js

[crimson vapor]

o

[gilded olive]

Caches are very good implementations

[long marsh]

They're not just good, they're a must.

Well, take that back. They are for me

[gilded olive]

True

Well depends on what you are building, for me caching is an must

[crimson vapor]

I use try catch blocks for when I read and write from the db but nothing else tbh

[quartz kindle]

i dont have a cache for my db, but i have a cache for api responses

[long marsh]

I'm using DynamoDB as my primary storage. It basically charges per mb returned .. unless I stay under a certain threshold.

[gilded olive]

Calling my db 8 times for every message

[long marsh]

So, I cache basically everything.

[quartz kindle]

LOL

[long marsh]

Woah - 8 times lmao

[crimson vapor]

tbh im sure I had a time where I was doing more

[long marsh]

The most I'll ever do is 2

[quartz kindle]

i call my db only once, and only when the command needs it

[long marsh]

Get inventory, add to inventory

[quartz kindle]

at most two, if the user hasnt used a command for a long time

[gilded olive]

The project we(a team) are building is multi purpose

So its a must

[long marsh]

8 times, though?

[quartz kindle]

x doubt

[long marsh]

8 different queries?
