[severe pendant]

How i can fix this

?

[carmine shore]

lil question

for bots and stuff, can 2 bots have slash commands of the same name?

if not then that just ruins it for me lmao

[severe pendant]

stars

Do u know how to fix

[cinder patio]

yes

[carmine shore]

Well you're not importing the file properly, does it maybe not exist in that place @severe pendant

either way i dont use discord.js so idk

[carmine shore]

neat thanks!

[earnest phoenix]

How to limit args? I forgot

I want to limit characters used after command

[marble juniper]

use the join method and then the length property

[earnest phoenix]

Aight

[severe pendant]

How i can fix this?

Anyone

[carmine summit]

@gloomy python

It returns a map

I think

then it increases

I think

every time react

I THINK

[quartz kindle]

cwickks thinks he thinks

[carmine summit]

or just use client.on("reactionAdd")

I think

[quartz kindle]

awaitReactions only returns when it finishes running

you didnt specify a reaction limit, only a time limit

so it only returns after 6 seconds, and not when a person reacts

you also only use it once, after its done it stops listening

[feral aspen]

Question

[eternal osprey]

hey

[feral aspen]

In v12, to delete a message after certain amount of time, is it like this? ```js
const msg = await message.channel.send(createdAccount)
msg.delete(8000);

[eternal osprey]

 if(message.content == "!cart"){
         
          var text = fs.readFileSync("./cart.txt").toString('utf-8');
console.log(text)
let text1 = text.split(/ +/g)
console.log(text1)
         if(message.author.id == text1[0]){

          message.channel.send(text1[2])
         ```` with this code i am trying to get all the contents text1[2] that have the same id as the author:

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

[eternal osprey]

however it isn't going good as it logs:

[earnest phoenix]

@eternal osprey bro are you using a txt file for a database

[eternal osprey]

as a base.

I always start with bases, later on going to migrate it to Atlas.

[earnest phoenix]

wdym

[quartz kindle]

fs.readFileSync("./cart.txt").toString('utf-8'); === fs.readFileSync("./cart.txt", "utf8"); lol

[eternal osprey]

i am trying to understand as much as possible of my code, so I first start with the basics (easy going with textfiles), later on with harder databases.

[gloomy python]

I didn't know there was a reaction limit 🤔

[earnest phoenix]

you're using it as a read only reference for later?

[eternal osprey]

yeah.

i am trying to learn from my code, so i usually begin easy and later on go a level up in difficulty.

this is not a code for a bot that i am going to use, i am just trying to learn from it.

[quartz kindle]

each line is supposed to be an entry?

then you need to split by newlines, not by space

[eternal osprey]

wdym with newlines?

could you provide an example

[quartz kindle]

.split("\r\n") on windows

or \n on linux

[eternal osprey]

and what would that do?

[quartz kindle]

make an array of lines

[eternal osprey]

aha okay.

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle or we could just do string.replace(/\\r\\n/g, "\n"); if we dunno the OS

[quartz kindle]

yes

[eternal osprey]

yeah i see, it returns 1.

but i am trying to split the id from the actual product name.

[quartz kindle]

yes, but that comes later

first you split by lines, so you have the entries correct

otherwise you get that mess

[eternal osprey]

it btw contains an \n

[quartz kindle]

how did you split?

[earnest phoenix]

@eternal osprey array.forEach(e => array[array.indexOf(e)] == { id: e.split(" ")[0], name: e.split(" ")[1] }); might work

or use regex in the split if you don't trust yourself: / +/

[quartz kindle]

i would just do this fs.readFileSync(...).split("\r\n").map(x => x.split(/ +/))

[earnest phoenix]

||yeah baby im flexing my 1% regex knowledge||

@quartz kindle btw they're probably deploying their bot to a vps after coding and testing on their windows pc

[quartz kindle]

its gonna be the same if they upload the same text file

[eternal osprey]

me?

I am not deploying it to my vps.

[earnest phoenix]

self hosting?

epic

[eternal osprey]

i am not going to use this bot.

[earnest phoenix]

[eternal osprey]

it is just pure so i can learn from it, once again.

[earnest phoenix]

what

[eternal osprey]

what

[earnest phoenix]

you're developing a bot that you're never gonna use?

[eternal osprey]

yup.

[earnest phoenix]

but... how are you greenname

[eternal osprey]

i have another bot that i hosted.

[quartz kindle]

let them learn lol

[earnest phoenix]

how to host the bot 😭

[eternal osprey]

okay so i understand this part, and i can now call the different string by using text1[0] and text1[1] right

[eternal osprey]

you can buy a vps for only like 8 dollars a month.

[quartz kindle]

8 is a lot

i pay 2.75

[eternal osprey]

whaaaa

what's the vps called ma guy.

[quartz kindle]

galaxygate

[eternal osprey]

yo i am switching up lmao.

[earnest phoenix]

i use repl.it digitalocean or google is a good vps too

[eternal osprey]

are you using this 3$ plan?

1gb ram?

[quartz kindle]

yes, i highly recommend google f1-micro for starters

yes thats the one i have

if you pay yearly, you get 1 month free

so it becomes 2.75/month

[eternal osprey]

is 1gb ram enough tho?

[quartz kindle]

it is for me

3 bots, an api and a website

[eternal osprey]

hmm interesting.

yeah i once made a website, I tried hosting it myself but it was running on a localhost server.

so i was told that i had to portforward through my internetprovider.

[eternal osprey]

anyways, is this true what i stated here?

[quartz kindle]

this is my average htop

[eternal osprey]

your ram is almost maxed out tho.

[quartz kindle]

its not

its using 413 out of 981

[eternal osprey]

owh i didn't see that.

hey this site actually has good plans for what you get.

thanks bro! Switching everything right now.

[eternal osprey]

wait i don't get this part boys.

would i basically call the different arrays using text1[0] and text1[1]

or..?

[quartz kindle]

unknown message

either the message is already deleted, or your bot cant see it for some reason

[earnest phoenix]

channel history perm maybe

[feral aspen]

premium.premium = true;
premium.premiumCooldown = Date.now()
premium.save().catch(err => console.log(err));

const embedThree = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor(colors.cyan)
.setDescription("You received your premium, thanks! 111")
                    
message.channel.send(embedThree)

setTimeout(function(){
   premium.premium = false;
   message.author.send("Your premium subscription has ended, you may re-subscribe by performing the `!redeem` command!")
}, ms(timeout))

[glossy heath]

hi

😭

[feral aspen]

I'm trying to make a function where after a few seconds let timeout = 15000, it will make the premium.premium = false, but it doesn't let me save twice, any help? premium.save().catch(err => console.log(err));

[earnest phoenix]

doesn't ms convert anything you pass to it to milliseconds

or

[feral aspen]

Yes 1 second is 1000

Oh.

Not sure.

[earnest phoenix]

try passing timeout directly, without using ms

[feral aspen]

But the function doesn't work unfortunately.

[earnest phoenix]

because you don't really need it in the first place

[feral aspen]

}, timeout)

Like this?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

from the ms docs:

so you were actually just passing a string to setTimeout

which it doesn't accept

[feral aspen]

Yes, unfortunately, but do you know the problem for this?

I want it to save twice.

[earnest phoenix]

but you're not saving twice anywhere

you're saving only once

[feral aspen]

When the user gets the premium, it makes premium = true, after amount of time finishes which is 15 seconds, it will go back to false until he performs the command again

[earnest phoenix]

the function in setTimeout never executes

because of this <#development message>

you also don't save in setTimeout

[feral aspen]

How can I make it set it to false after a few seconds, well that is not going to happen as it will be after a month where it changes.

[earnest phoenix]

🙄 have you been ignoring everything i've been saying to you

[feral aspen]

Yes, I am reading.

[earnest phoenix]

setTimeout doesn't work for long periods of time and you shouldn't really use it for long periods of time

in case of downtime

[feral aspen]

True, what can I do instead for long period of time?

[earnest phoenix]

save the date of expiry in a database in unix

on boot pull every date out of your database and create a setInterval that loops and checks whether any date is past the current one

when you need to add a new date, add it to both your database and your memory

[feral aspen]

Like every January and such?

But that will give the premium user more time than usual.

Making it unfair.

[earnest phoenix]

w h a t

please

either you're skim reading or you're not understanding what i'm saying

or both

[feral aspen]

... I just take time to understand.

[earnest phoenix]

lets try pseudo code instead

[delicate shore]

hi ok so

[vale garden]

yo

asking this question for the 9th time, but can i code for an oauth2 app and bot in the same file

im really dumb plz help me out

lmfao

[delicate shore]

I mean , if you wanna make your life miserable
Sure ! Go ahead

[vale garden]

lol

the thing is i cant use different files for it

coz i have info in a json file which i gotta use for the bot

and im on repl so that means i have to create a new repl

[earnest phoenix]

//this part exists somewhere outside, in your main file or whatever
//map keyed by user id and stores your database values
new Map();
//interval loops every second checking if anything had expired
setInterval(() => {
  //filter map so you get values where the stored date is smaller than Date.now(),
  //it means it expired

  //if you have any values from the filter, remove them from the map
  //and from the database
}, 1000);

//this should ONLY run on application boot
let allOfMyDatabaseValues = await fetchAllValues();
for(let value of allOfMmyDatabaseValues)
  value.put(value.userId, value.expiry);

//your premium command thingy or whatever it is
databaseobject.expiry = Date.now() + the duration of premium in milliseconds
save();

@feral aspen this is pseudo code

[earnest phoenix]

this question makes absolutely zero sense

[vale garden]

it does

[earnest phoenix]

no it does not

[vale garden]

see

you have a discord app

with the identity and bot scopes ticked

and

[earnest phoenix]

creating an oauth2 app and implementing discord oauth2 are two entirely different things

[vale garden]

ah what

[misty sigil]

and one is much harder

[vale garden]

yea ok

[earnest phoenix]

oauth2 is not something tied to discord lol

[vale garden]

but the thing is

[misty sigil]

[vale garden]

ik but

yea ik that

i mean

i have the code for the oauth2

but

i also need that app to function as a bot

[earnest phoenix]

so... do that?

[misty sigil]

use a web server

[vale garden]

so i will require code for the oauth2 and the bot

and like

[misty sigil]

inside of your bot files

??

[vale garden]

i cant just put both the code

wat

[misty sigil]

yes??

you can??

[vale garden]

wa

how

[earnest phoenix]

by just putting it lol

[vale garden]

i mean like i just stacked the codes on top of each other

and then whichever is above gets executed

[earnest phoenix]

your bot is not the application itself
your webserver is not the application itself

[vale garden]

ik both of them together are

right?

[earnest phoenix]

incorrect

that is everything that's inside of your application

however they're not the application itself

your application can work without the bot, without the webserver

[vale garden]

oh you mean it like that

yea ok but that doesnt matter lol

so i just code chilling like this

from datetime import date
from flask import Flask, request, redirect
from oauth import Oauth
from tinydb import TinyDB, Query

db = TinyDB('./db.json')
User = Query()

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/", methods = ['get'])
def index():
  return redirect(Oauth.discord_login_url)
  
@app.route("/login", methods = ['get'])

def login():
  #Code Here..

if (__name__ == "__main__"):
  app.run(debug = True, host = '0.0.0.0', port = 5000)

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("yo")

#Commands Here..

bot.run(os.environ.get("TOKEN"))  

anddddd

since the oauth2 stuff is above only that works

[misty sigil]

json db.................

[vale garden]

P.S ik this might be extremely wrong

or whatever

wha

bruh its just simple stuff to store it isnt much

so doesnt matter

lol

[misty sigil]

so in /login you wanna get the query (code)

[vale garden]

ye

[misty sigil]

as discord redirects to /login?code=OAUTHCode

[vale garden]

yep

[misty sigil]

and you make a few fetch requests

i can’t exactly recall where to atm

[vale garden]

that doesnt matter bruh

i just need the bot code to work as well

but idk how to

oof

i mean the codes are working fine alone

but i need them to function simultaneously

which is the issue i have

[eternal osprey]

now i have a different question. My split functions etc worked great, but how do i do this with all the string that have the same author id?

as you can see i am cmparing the author ids, but how would i do this for all the string in the textfile?

[summer acorn]

you can use the Array.some() method

example; Array.some(id => message.author.id === id)

it will check for if message.author.id is equal to any of the items in the array

in our case, we call them an id

[eternal osprey]

so i should remove the if

[eternal osprey]

and use

[summer acorn]

because that is what we want to do

no you put the Array.some inside the if statement

[eternal osprey]

aha oaky

[summer acorn]

and then you gotta replace Array with the variable name of the array or simple just an array like [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]

[eternal osprey]

for me it is text2[0[ i guess

because that holds all the ids

[summer acorn]

that depends on it text2[0] is an array

if text2 is the array with the ids, you gotta use text2.some

if you have an array at index 0 containing the ids, inside of text2, you gotta do text2[0].some

[eternal osprey]

text2[0].some is not a function

 if(message.content == "!cart"){
          var text = fs.readFileSync("./cart.txt").toString('utf-8');
          
let text1 = text.split("\r\n")
let text2 = text1[0].split(/ +/g)
console.log(text2[1])
if(text2[0].some(id => (message.author.id == text2[0]))){
  
  

          message.channel.send(text2[1])
         


         }

         

        }```

[summer acorn]

is text2[0] an array?

based of that code, it is not\

[eternal osprey]

it is a string..

fuck

sorry.

[summer acorn]

try text2.some then

[eternal osprey]

oaky so it worked

but as soon as more things are in the text file:

345138133429649408 2K2RKit
345138133429649408 AxuasKit
345138133429649408 FlyKit

it returns only this: 2K2RKit
345138133429649408

so it doesn't get all the items in the text file

only the first one.

@summer acorn

[summer acorn]

You could try using a json file, you won't need to split in that and it'll be a lot simpler

[eternal osprey]

a json file doesn't accept text.

[summer acorn]

you simply just do

var adminIds = require('./admins.json'); // assuming these people are your admins

console.log(adminIds); // ["345138133429649408", "345138133429649408", "345138133429649408"]

if (adminIds.some(/*query*/)) {
    // code
}

the json file will just be

["345138133429649408", "345138133429649408", "345138133429649408"]

[earnest phoenix]

hii guys i need help of a developer who uses java

[summer acorn]

a JSON file is like an object

[eternal osprey]

i am not only in need of having the ids.

345138133429649408 2K2RKit
345138133429649408 AxuasKit
345138133429649408 FlyKit

[earnest phoenix]

anyone knows?

[eternal osprey]

i am basically checking the id with the message.authoer.

[earnest phoenix]

or anyone can help me?

[eternal osprey]

then i want its text behind the id.

[earnest phoenix]

what about

{
  "345138133429649408": "2K2RKit",
  "345138133429649408": "AxuasKit"
}

something like that

[summer acorn]

then you can do

[["345138133429649408", "2K2RKit"],
["345138133429649408", "AxuasKit"],
["345138133429649408", "FlyKit"]]

if (adminIds.some(id => message.author.id === id[0])) {/*code*/}

[earnest phoenix]

no one helping me

kek, don't ask to ask

@unkempt ocean no one helping or telling me here

what to do

[eternal osprey]

BRO WHAT IS UPPP?

[earnest phoenix]

[heavy anchor]

Smh

[quartz kindle]

because you're only using the first one

[eternal osprey]

yeah i understand that.

[earnest phoenix]

i need hel of a java developer or someone who knows java @eternal osprey

[eternal osprey]

s o that's why i asked how to take them all

[eternal osprey]

well I dont.

[quartz kindle]

ask your question first, dont ask if someone knows first

nobody is gonna say "i know, what is the question"

everyone is waiting for what the question is

[earnest phoenix]

i need a code which brings bot online the one i watched on yt showing errors even i am typing the same

[quartz kindle]

your text2 variable is using text1[0], aka only the first item

[earnest phoenix]

^^

[eternal osprey]

bor please fucking patience.

we can't respond within 1 second

[earnest phoenix]

sry

[quartz kindle]

well, show the code

[earnest phoenix]

package mainPackage;

import javax.security.auth.login.LoginException;

import net.dv8tion.jda.api.JDABuilder;
import net.dv8tion.jda.api.OnlineStatus;
import net.dv8tion.jda.core.entities.Game;
import techtoolbox.Bot.events.GuildMessageReceived;

public class Main {
public static String prefix = "~";

public static void main(String[] args) throws LoginException {
    JDABuilder builder = new JDABuilder();
    builder.setToken("Your token goes here.");
    builder.setStatus(OnlineStatus.ONLINE);
    builder.setGame(Game.playing("boring comedy shows."));

    // Register listeners
    builder.addEventListener(new GuildMessageReceived());

    builder.build();
}

}

[eternal osprey]

hmm so i would have to use the text1[0] instead of the text2[0]

[earnest phoenix]

i am addint token but still

cant show u token right

[quartz kindle]

no, that has nothing to do with it

you are only using the first item, and then asking why its not finding the other items lol

[eternal osprey]

but how would i get all the available items then?

[earnest phoenix]

just not gettin this error

Multiple markers at this line
- The value of the local variable builder is
not used

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix JDA has a full example in its repository which you can check

https://github.com/DV8FromTheWorld/JDA/blob/master/src/examples/java/MessageListenerExample.java

[earnest phoenix]

oo ty

[eternal osprey]

var text = fs.readFileSync("./cart.txt").toString('utf-8');
          
let text1 = text.split("\r\n")```

it is reading the whole file?

so getting all the products.

[quartz kindle]

yes, text1 has all products

but once you do text1[0] thats no longer all products, its only the first one

and you're searching inside text2, which is text1[0]

you have to search in text1, not text1[0]

its much easier if you pre-split all items, like i showed you before

[eternal osprey]

huh when

[quartz kindle]

allItems = fs.readFileSync("./cart.txt", "utf8").split("\r\n").map(x => x.split(/ +/))

[eternal osprey]

and how would i access the different strings? AllItems[0] right/ and allitems[1]

as you are splitting them

this doesn't seem to be working

[mellow kelp]

newlines are hella confusing

[eternal osprey]

and i don't even know how much products it contains

[mellow kelp]

sometimes they are \n and sometimes they are \r\n

[eternal osprey]

it cvan be ranging from 6 to 22

@quartz kindle

[rocky hearth]

how to create an immutable array in js/ts?

[mellow kelp]

Object.freeze

i think so

[rocky hearth]

ok, how to let ts know about it?

[mellow kelp]

wat

um

panik

[rocky hearth]

so it wont suggest the push and pop method on that array

[quartz kindle]

that looks like your newlines are using \n and not \r\n

[mellow kelp]

well push and pop are always suggested

they're methods

[quartz kindle]

did you save the file using code?

because if you save it using notepad, windows automatically adds \r\n

[eternal osprey]

using code.

[quartz kindle]

but if you save it using code with only \n then it will only have \n

so now you have to split using \n not \r\n

[rocky hearth]

Nah! TS has given the array readonly type. So now it is not suggesting those methods 🙂

[mellow kelp]

o

epik

and i just checked

Object.freeze uses generics so there ya go

[eternal osprey]

but @quartz kindle

the problem is, is that I don't know how much products it contains

[quartz kindle]

just do .split(/\r\n|\r|\n/) to account for both lol

[eternal osprey]

right now there are only 4 arrays.

but some other time there micht be 6

[quartz kindle]

doesnt matter

you're effectively creating a table

with unlimited number of rows and columns

the first array is rows, the array inside it is columns

[eternal osprey]

hmm okay

[quartz kindle]

you might want to remove empty lines tho, it seems like your file has an empty line at the end

[eternal osprey]

but how would i seperately call the first array, and the second?

[quartz kindle]

.split(/\r\n|\r|\n/).filter(Boolean).map(...)

[quartz kindle]

items[row number][column number]

items[2][1] = data of 3rd item, items[5][0] = id of 6th item

[eternal osprey]

but that's the problem..

i don't know how much items it contains

so i can't just take a rough guess.

i might add 3 products, tomorrow i might add 0 products.

so the rows and the columns change each time.

[quartz kindle]

it doesnt matter

its just a matter of how you want to search it

[eternal osprey]

how doesn't it matter if i don't know what to call?

[quartz kindle]

the table is just a storage system, you decide how you want to use it

give me an example of how you want to find something in it

[eternal osprey]

okay let me explain it.

you can add products to your cart (the text file)

using !product(number)

for example !product2

it will save your id + the productname

later on there might be 9 products in your cart

you type !cart

and it will display all product names that match your id.

[quartz kindle]

items.filter(item => item[0] === id)

[cinder patio]

And why are you storing all that in a plain text file and not a database? Even json would be better than plain text

[eternal osprey]

that's just how i work.

i first start the base using text

then over to database.

[cinder patio]

that's just a huge waste of time because you wouldn't be here asking these questions if you just started with a database... but sure okay

[reef dawn]

hello my friends, is there anyone to help me?

[eternal osprey]

yeah sorry you lost me there

[reef dawn]

My bot is approved but I was not on the server then what should I do?

[quartz kindle]

ask a moderator in #support

(dont ping all mods)

[quartz kindle]

what dont you understand?

do you not know about array.filter?

[eternal osprey]

i know array.filter

but the problem here is.... i still don't understand the column shit etc.

[quartz kindle]

[
  [a1,b1,c1]
  [a2,b2,c2]
  [a3,b3,c3]
]
``` this is how your data looks like after splitting

[eternal osprey]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

items[0] = [a1,b1,c1]

items[0][0] = a1

[eternal osprey]

allItems*

[quartz kindle]

yes

[eternal osprey]

okay yeah i got that

but i have 23 products, so how in hell am i gonna know how much products someone addst o

[quartz kindle]

items.filter(x => x[0] === a1) = [a1,b1,c1]

^ filter all items, return those where the first value of it matches the value you want

lets say you have this

964958734589 someproduct
964958734589 someproduct2
964958734589 someproduct3
964952563455 someproduct

thats 1 person with 3 products, another person with 1 product

after splitting, you have this ```js
[
[964958734589, someproduct]
[964958734589, someproduct2]
[964958734589, someproduct3]
[964952563455, someproduct]
]

[eternal osprey]

yeah

I understand this part.

[misty sigil]

array of arrays

[quartz kindle]

items.filter(item => item[0] === 964958734589)
/*
[
  [964958734589, someproduct]
  [964958734589, someproduct2]
  [964958734589, someproduct3]
]
*/

[misty sigil]

there’s just something funny about that

[eternal osprey]

allItems.filter(x => x[0] === message.author.id) ```

i used this

[quartz kindle]

yes

[eternal osprey]

and later on message.channel.send(allItems)

[quartz kindle]

no

the filtered array is returned as a value

the original array is not modified

[eternal osprey]

owh okay

yeah

[quartz kindle]

let filtered = allitems.filter()

[eternal osprey]

ofc you have to define a variable to it

[quartz kindle]

also, filtered is an array of arrays, just like allItems, but it only contains the entries that match the id

you cant send it as a message directly

either stringify it, or extract the values you want

for example, to get a list of product names

filtered.map(x => x[1]).join("\n")

[eternal osprey]

and i should define another variable to this to later on send it right

[quartz kindle]

with the code above```js
[
[964958734589, someproduct]
[964958734589, someproduct2]
[964958734589, someproduct3]
]
becomes
[
someproduct
someproduct2
someproduct3
]
and then becomes
someproduct someproduct2 someproduct3

the final value after joining is a string, so you can safely send it

[eternal osprey]

yeah exactly

it works, thanks!

I understand it now.

is it okay if i copy this conversation into my learn folder?

so i can later on have a better look>

if you have any problems with that, ping me and i'll delete the convo.

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle i did that code now what i need to do for my bot to come online

bot will come online when i host or what i am new really

not have much knowledge

[feral aspen]

Is there really no actual way to convert things like

{
    "test": "${message.author.username} is a username."
}```

to actual stuff like this?

```js
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor(colors.cyan)
    .setDescription(permissions.test)

    return message.channel.send(embed)

It just sends ${message.author.username} instead of sending the username of the author! 😆

[earnest phoenix]

that is still treated as a string

you cannot take a random string and treat it as code

[misty sigil]

could you replace it?

[earnest phoenix]

manipulate the string to include your variable

yeah

[misty sigil]

.replace('username', message.author.username)

[feral aspen]

Or*, should I manually edit the .setDescription() part?

Would take a lot of time..

[earnest phoenix]

use this ^ but don't forget to replace globally, otherwise it will replace only the first occurance

[quartz kindle]

you can add placeholders

for example ```js
string = "ououg weughowuehwgh ou %%USERNAME%% ouhowuehowute"
string.replace("%%USERNAME%%", message.author.username)

[feral aspen]

Oh

[earnest phoenix]

french 😍

[quartz kindle]

wat

[earnest phoenix]

i was kidding

[feral aspen]

.setDescription(permissions.test.replace("username", message,author.username))

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[feral aspen]

Like that?

[misty sigil]

lmao

[quartz kindle]

yes, but it has to be a placeholder that you're sure it will never be used as a normal text

so you dont accidentally replace things that you dont want to replace

[earnest phoenix]

u know that tim?

[quartz kindle]

if your code works, it should become online as soon as you run the program

it will only be online while the program is running

[earnest phoenix]

alr

ty

[feral aspen]

What do you mean? Like should I put something like [] at the beginning and end of the word or what? Didn't understand.

[quartz kindle]

for example

string = "to change your username run /username newname"

if you do .replace("username") on that, it will replace things you dont want to replace

[feral aspen]

Yes, so I can put some type of sign near the thing I want to replace, right?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[feral aspen]

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you for the information!

[shut spear]

only bot's reaction is seen on messageReactionAdd event but no any other user reactions, any fix or explanation about this?

client.on('ready', () => {
   react(client);
});

function react(client){    
    var channel=client.channels.cache.get('channel-id');
    channel.messages.fetch('message-id')
       .then(message =>{
           message.react("🇬🇧");
       })
}

client.on('messageReactionAdd', (reaction, user) => {
    console.log("a user just reacted");
});

[quartz kindle]

are you using intents?

are you reacting on an old message that already existed before the bot started? or a new message sent after the bot started?

[shut spear]

old, existed before bot started

[quartz kindle]

you need to enable partials for that

[shut spear]

already 🙁

[quartz kindle]

show client options

[shut spear]

var client = new Discord.Client({ partials: ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION'] });

[quartz kindle]

needs USER too

[shut spear]

ty so much!

[crimson vapor]

how would I cache mongoose?

like queries

I can query for more than just _id so idk how I would cache the objects with a key

I could cache one big map but that seems inefficient

[past needle]

(node:27) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordjsError: Request to use token, but token was unavailable to the client

q-p

please what this mean

why doesn't it work in the hoster website but it does if i run it in my terminal >_>

[mellow kelp]

probably means your bot is not logged in

[crimson vapor]

do you use env or config.json?

[past needle]

config

.json

[crimson vapor]

make sure token is defined

[past needle]

token is directly on the main file

[misty sigil]

I don’t use either I use info.json

[crimson vapor]

smh info.json

maybe for well info

but not configuration shit

[crimson vapor]

harcoded?

[past needle]

:o

wdym harcoded

[crimson vapor]

like a constant

never changes

[quartz kindle]

token unavailable also happens if you remove the token after the bot starts

for example client.token = null

[crimson vapor]

oh

[past needle]

:o

i didn't anywhere

[quartz kindle]

show your code

[past needle]

pretty long code

300~ lignes for the index.js

[crimson vapor]

how many other files

[past needle]

where i put all the fast events like shardReady, ratelimit, error etc..

i'll try to console.log the token before it starts see if there is a problem

[crimson vapor]

most people make an event handler for that

[past needle]

yea i did only for the long coding events

like

channelCreate

but for those where i just need ton log something it's faster to make it to index.js

instead of an entire file for it

[quartz kindle]

just put it in a bin

pastebin hastebin codebin etc

[crimson vapor]

Tim do you know how I should cache mongoose?

[past needle]

alright

i'll try

[cinder patio]

[weary widget]

I need help with the snipe command i'm making, every time i use the command it sends it twice. if there is something to snipe, it will send the message and the error if there is nothing to send it will send the error twice

[misty sigil]

why store in txt files

[crimson vapor]

I read this but they were just setting data to a value, where I want to be able to find data using multiple queries

[misty sigil]

instead of memory

[weary widget]

what

[crimson vapor]

yeah cache it

[weary widget]

wait you can do that

[crimson vapor]

yes

[weary widget]

is it server specific?

[crimson vapor]

caching is not specific to anything except process

[weary widget]

hmm

I guess

but is there still a way to fix the problem i have currently?

[past needle]

lmfao

i just discovered that

whne doing client.destroy it will still listen to the events and all @crimson vapor @quartz kindle

q-q

this is why my bot's can't connect

[crimson vapor]

why did you use client.destroy?

all it does is kill the client

not very good for shutdown

[slender thistle]

Deb, make sure you're not running two instances of your bot

[quartz kindle]

client.destroy is a joke

it doesnt even work correctly

[crimson vapor]

yea

[past needle]

i wanted to see if all my commands had their config property when requiring the file

and if one didn't then it will crash the bot

[crimson vapor]

hmm

[past needle]

i should of used process.exit

ig

[crimson vapor]

use process.exit()

[past needle]

yup

thanks

[crimson vapor]

whats the best way to clean text of anything that can't be in a url

[lyric mountain]

URLEncoder if in java

In js idk, but there's probably some lib to encode to url

Maybe even vanilla

[mellow kelp]

in js its encodeURIComponent

vanilla js

[crimson vapor]

probably lemme check

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle duh see what happened

What to do

[crimson vapor]

what do you mean?

[earnest phoenix]

@crimson vapor it's blank my workspace disappeared

[crimson vapor]

open the folder?

[earnest phoenix]

I opened

Lemme restart my computer

Maybe some other problem

BTW which language u use?

[crimson vapor]

it looks to me like you have it closed

I use js but know a but of java

[earnest phoenix]

Ic may I take help from u when I need

I am new

And yes problem solved ty

💪😄👌

@crimson vapor tell me

[mellow kelp]

ah yes

[mellow kelp]

the hand arm

[crimson vapor]

probably but idk much java

[earnest phoenix]

i have to rework my help command :/

[shut spear]

guild.members.cache only has bot as guildmember, not users who react. Any fixes?

client.on('messageReactionAdd', (reaction, user) => {
    if (emoji.name == '🇬🇧') {
        reaction.message.guild.fetch(user.id).then(async guild => {
            await guild.members.cache.get(user.id).roles.add('791237803622793227');
        });
    }
});

[crimson vapor]

fetch the user

also cache.get is not async

[shut spear]

its fetching?

reaction.message.guild.fetch(user.id).then(....

[earnest phoenix]

you're calling fetch on a guild object

oh

yeah

that will fetch the guild, and also doesn't take any args

not the user

wtf are you trying to do there

[tribal siren]

i got this mail from my favorite app

how do i send them the screenshots now?

[earnest phoenix]

...reply to the email?

[shut spear]

adding roles according to the reactions

[earnest phoenix]

remove user.id from this part

fetch needs to be empty

instead of get() use fetch()

fetch is a promise so you need to await it

and then you can do your .roles.add

[crystal wigeon]

Is there an event triggered when a bot sent message is deleted?

Manually

[mellow kelp]

use the messageDelete event

and check the message author

[sterile lantern]

idk how to use the includes function with args

so i want to make it so if args[0] includes jobchoices

jobchoices = ["job1", "job2", "job3", "job4"];

[crimson vapor]

jobchoices.includes(args[0])

[sterile lantern]

  db.set(`job_${user.id}`, "Programmer")
  message.channel.send("You have now set your job as a Programmer! Salary: 100-150 coins every time you work." ) 
  elseif(args[0] === "Technican" || (args[0]) == "Technician")
  db.set (`job_${user.id}`, "Technician")
  message.channel.send("You have now set your job as a Technician! Salary: 110-175 coins every time you work.")```

elseif doesnt work here but regardless of elseif it sends both msgs and ignores the *if(args)*

[quartz kindle]

there must be a space between else and if

[fossil birch]

its elif

[crimson vapor]

yikes I prefer to use arrays and .includes rather than chaining if statements

[quartz kindle]

and if requires brackets

[crimson vapor]

no elif in js

[mortal orchid]

Its else if

Space required

[fossil birch]

oh

[sterile lantern]

i already have else

[quartz kindle]

it requires brackets

[sterile lantern]

o

[mortal orchid]

Yep

[sterile lantern]

else { function here
}

?

[quartz kindle]

// works
if(bla) something

// works
if(bla)
  something

// works
if(bla) {
  something
}

// does not work
if(bla)
  something;
  somethingElse;

// works
if(bla) {
  something;
  somethingElse
}

you can omit the brackets only for single lines

[crimson vapor]

the 4th one is just py

[quartz kindle]

py is weird

[sterile lantern]

eh i have a really messy job command

so basically, if they dont specify args it tells them what jobs they can choose

[mellow kelp]

yes

[sterile lantern]

if they dont specify a valid job, it also sends that embed

but it completely ignores this:

if(args[0] == "Programmer" || (args[0]) == "programmer")

n v m

i forgot brackets lol

[mellow kelp]

lmao

and use === instead of ==

[quartz kindle]

you dont need () in the second one

btw you can replace that entire thing with this

if(args[0].toLowerCase() === "programmer")

actually, you can replace your entire code with an array or object of jobs lol

[sterile lantern]

oh wait

i can just do

if(args[0].toLowerCase() == jobchoices)

db.set("theirjob", args[0])

ez

but

i want it to be capitalized in the db

so like

Technician

instead of technician

[quartz kindle]

const jobs = ["Programmer","Technician","Engineer"];
let job = jobs.find(j => j.toLowerCase() === args[0].toLowerCase());
if(!job) return message.channel.send("invalid job")
db.set(..., job);
message.channel.send(`your job is now ${job}`)

[sterile lantern]

hm

ok

maybe ill just do toUpperCase

but then thatd make everything

uppercase

oof

[quartz kindle]

my code already does what you want

job is still uppercase

you convert it to lowercase only for the comparison

once its found, the original uppercase value is returned

[sterile lantern]

o

ok

this is 1 hour in millseconds

right

1000 * 60 * 120;

and then 2 hours would be 1000 * 60 * 180 right

[earnest phoenix]

does anyone know any bots that can give everybody in the server one role

[mellow kelp]

i think one hour in ms is 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000

[sterile lantern]

100 * 60 * 180 gives me this

it doesnt go to 2 hours for some reason

[mellow kelp]

o

[sterile lantern]

dyno?

?role all +rolehere

[quartz kindle]

one hour is 1000 * 60 * 60

2 hours is 120

[sterile lantern]

mhm

i tried 120

[quartz kindle]

180 is 3 hours

[sterile lantern]

it givesme 59m when i try again

gives*

let timeout = 1000 * 60 * 120; //

i tried 1000 * 120 * 60

still gives me 59m 58s

ah wait a minute

[earnest phoenix]

order of multiplying does not matter

[sterile lantern]

im not printing the hours

[earnest phoenix]

are you leaving out the

[sterile lantern]

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

[sterile lantern]

yeah ok it worked

tyyy

[earnest phoenix]

bruh wrong math

[mellow kelp]

meth

[sterile lantern]

nah i thought it would be 180

because it wasnt printing hours

i had 120 at first

[earnest phoenix]

one hour in seconds is 60 * 60
a millisecond is a thousand times bigger so 1000 * 60 * 60
two hours is 2 * 1000 * 60 * 60

[sterile lantern]

but i forgot to print hours

so i thought is 1 hr

yea

[earnest phoenix]

bro just use npm.im/moment

[sterile lantern]

wat was that

const { authorData } = require("../../permissions.json")
.setDescription(authorData)

Cry, it doesn't let me send the string in that json file.

It keeps sending ```js
null

[mellow kelp]

full code?

and whats in the json file

[feral aspen]

{
  "authorData": "❌ You do not have an economy account, be sure to create one by performing the **`!register`** command.",
}

[mellow kelp]

and whats the code

[earnest phoenix]

you sure you got the right directory?

nm

it would throw an error

[feral aspen]

if(!authorData) {
            const noAccount = new MessageEmbed()
            .setColor(red)
            .setDescription(authorData)

            return message.channel.send(noAccount)
        }

Instead of sending the string, it sends null! 🤷‍♂️

I mean

null

wtf

When it is const permissions = require("../../permissions.json"), it work, but if const { authorData } = require("../../permissions.json") it doesn't......

Why that.

oh fuk, authordata is already defined

🤦‍♂️

[sterile lantern]

devid is defined as my user ID,

how come ${devid.user} prints undefined

nvm i needed to fetch

[earnest phoenix]

Hey, I'm pretty new to Regular Expressions. And i made a simple regex which should detect something like this (random:1=10); and then generate a random number but for some reason it only returns one match even tho i have several matches in my string.

[mellow kelp]

idk if this might be the problem but

instead of using the regex constructor

just use /your-regex/flags

[earnest phoenix]

i tried that too

same results

[mellow kelp]

well apart from the problem just use that

but um

oh

it has a $ at the end

so it's only going to match if the expression is at the end of the string

[earnest phoenix]

OH

I wanted it to only detect the ones that end with an ;

how can i do that 👀

[mellow kelp]

you mean lines?

like

lines that end with ;?

[earnest phoenix]

wait let me give you an example

[mellow kelp]

k

[earnest phoenix]

This will work: (random:1=10);. This shouldn't be detected: (random:1=10)

[mellow kelp]

well you're already doing that

with the ;

i mean \;

[earnest phoenix]

oh so the $ isn't needed?

[mellow kelp]

nope

[earnest phoenix]

Ohh, ok let me try

[mellow kelp]

ight

[earnest phoenix]

Nice 😀 it works! Thank you.

[mellow kelp]

np

[mellow kelp]

oh yea also this

just to keep the thing clean

[earnest phoenix]

Ok 👍

[sterile lantern]

how do you a fetch user in v12

last time i did was v11

is it client.cache.users.fetchUser

doubt thatd work

ah wait nvm its client.users.fetch

const dev = client.users.cache.get(devid) || await client.users.fetch(devid);```

how come dev is still undefined??

dev.user that is

nvm we dont need .user

``` .setThumbnail(${client.displayAvatarURL})

why does this not work

nvm i forgot .user and ()

[quaint vault]

Can you send me autorol commands? I'm on the phone but

[lyric mountain]

There's no "autorole commands", you need to write it yourself

[sterile lantern]

var date = (today.getMonth()+1)+'-'+today.getDate()+'-'+today.getFullYear();

is there a way to get minues

from today.

time*

so like 12-23-2020@1:10 PM EST

thats what i want it to print

currently only prints 12-23-2020

[earnest phoenix]

hi

how can i put 24/7 my bot

i use glitch

[sterile lantern]

buy a vps

glitch banned pinging services

[earnest phoenix]

buy?

[sterile lantern]

so you can't host on glitch

repl.it is an alternative

[earnest phoenix]

okay

[sterile lantern]

so search up how to host on repl.it

:)

[earnest phoenix]

when i delete the message by clicking the reaction, it gives the console this error.

(node:15508) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Unknown Message

[molten yarrow]

look at Intl.DateTimeFormat() for your case

[sterile lantern]

?

whats that

[sterile lantern]

you're not defining the msg

so it doesn't know which message to delete

(i think)

or there is no message

hm

[earnest phoenix]

no let msg = await message.channel.send(${message.author}, embed);

[sterile lantern]

not sure

ah found the Intl.DateTimeFormat

thanks

[molten yarrow]

new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', { dateStyle: 'medium', timeStyle: 'medium' }).format(Date.now())

should return something like this: > "23 Dec 2020, 19:14:52"

[sterile lantern]

yea i saw that

but how would i make it print

"Dec 23 2020, 01:16:10"

something like that

01:16 is EST timezone

[molten yarrow]

change en-GB?

new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', { dateStyle: 'medium', timeStyle: 'medium' }).format(Date.now())

> "Dec 23, 2020, 7:16:40 PM"

[sterile lantern]

that prints as UTC

or not utc im not sure what the time zone is

[vagrant vale]

a

[sterile lantern]

but its 5 hrs ahead

of my time

so i want it my time

[mellow kelp]

we got a spammer here

[molten yarrow]

u can use timeZone

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern ```js
function formatDate(dateVal) {
var newDate = new Date(dateVal);
var sMonth = padValue(newDate.getMonth() + 1);
var sDay = padValue(newDate.getDate());
var sYear = newDate.getFullYear();
var sHour = newDate.getHours();
var sMinute = padValue(newDate.getMinutes());
var sAMPM = "AM";
var iHourCheck = parseInt(sHour);
if (iHourCheck > 12) {
sAMPM = "PM";
sHour = iHourCheck - 12;
} else if (iHourCheck === 0) {
sHour = "12";
}
sHour = padValue(sHour);
return sMonth + "-" + sDay + "-" + sYear + " " + sHour + ":" + sMinute + " " + sAMPM;
}

function padValue(value) {
return (value < 10) ? "0" + value : value;
}

`formatDate("Wed May 27 10:35:00 EDT 2015")` return "05-27-2015 10:35 AM"

[sterile lantern]

woah thats a ton of code

i dont think that'd be a smart thing to do in a stats cmd

[earnest phoenix]

then you have to use moment.js

[sterile lantern]

RangeError: Invalid time zone specified: EST

is it called ET

idk

[molten yarrow]

whats your timezone?

[sterile lantern]

est

eastern standard time

[molten yarrow]

i mean add timeZone: 'America/New_York' if u from NY

[sterile lantern]

how did you know ok

[eternal osprey]

hey @polar flower I actually had a question pending but it didn't send it.

[molten yarrow]

you dont need other packages... @earnest phoenix

[sterile lantern]

ok it works tysm! <3

[eternal osprey]

collector.on('collect', (reaction, user) => {
                 message.channel.send("Okay, the cart is being cleared!")
                var cleared =  allItems.replace(final, '')
                fs.writeFileSync('cart.txt', cleared, 'utf-8');``` this somehow returns: allItems.replace is not a function

[earnest phoenix]

what is allItems

[eternal osprey]

I am basically trying to remove the final if someone actually stops the order.

just a text file with some products.

anyone that can tell what's the problem?

[molten yarrow]

is allItems a string?

[eternal osprey]

pff no.

[molten yarrow]

how u using .replace on it?

[cinder patio]

Obviously allItems is not a string, console.log it to see what it actually is.

[eternal osprey]

it's an array ofc.

[cinder patio]

.replace is not an array method

[eternal osprey]

yeah sorry mistaken.

I can use splice for an array right?

[cinder patio]

yes

Well then you already got it enjoy

[earnest phoenix]

i want to divided commands in different file i want to keep code for every commands in a different file

[earnest phoenix]

Whats What I Can't Make

like how

look at 3rd line

No

[earnest phoenix]

then

require accepts a string

So you need to put the path to the file in a string

[earnest phoenix]

Im using this as token

client.login(process.env.token);

[molten yarrow]

you need your token only on client.login()

[umbral zealot]

Maybe just read this: https://anidiots.guide/first-bot/a-basic-command-handler

it'll help for sure

[eternal osprey]

 var cleared =  allItems.splice(final, ' ')
                console.log(cleared)
                fs.appendFileSync("./cart.txt", cleared)```

it doesn't delete the finals from the file.

[umbral zealot]

those aren't spaces they're line returns.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[molten yarrow]

.splice() require an index

array.splice(index, howmany, item1, ....., itemX)

[umbral zealot]

you probably need to split by line return in the first place, remove what you want, and then join it again

[eternal osprey]

Okay thanks girls for the help!

[earnest phoenix]

Is getting inside a bot's account illegal?

[eternal osprey]

but the problem is

i can't provide an index for the splice as I never know how many products there are in a cart

[earnest phoenix]

Is getting inside a bot's account illegal?

[eternal osprey]

allItems = fs.readFileSync("./cart.txt", "utf8").split("\n").map(x => x.split(/ +/))
console.log(allItems)
let filtered = allItems.filter(x => x[0] === message.author.id)
let final = filtered.map(x => x[1]).join("\n")  ``` It can range from 0 to 23 products

[molten yarrow]

but u want to remove an item from the cart?

[eternal osprey]

yeah

but i don't know how much items.

[molten yarrow]

get the index of it

.indexOf()

[eternal osprey]

for me it might be 3, for someone else it might be 7 that needs to be deleted.

[molten yarrow]

const fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
const a = fruits.indexOf("Apple");

returns 2

[umbral zealot]

What do you mean by "inside a bot's account"

[earnest phoenix]

**Using a Bot **

[umbral zealot]

why are you using bold, it's not like we can't read you.

[earnest phoenix]

By Entiring Inside it

[umbral zealot]

I don't know what you mean by "entering inside of it"

[earnest phoenix]

I Get more Attension With Bold

[umbral zealot]

no

it just makes you look entitled and obnoxious

[earnest phoenix]

Want Demo?

[eternal osprey]

uhh

[umbral zealot]

if you can't explain it in words, then there's no point in talking about it

[eternal osprey]

i think that he means selfbots

Those are indeed not allowed.

[earnest phoenix]

Uh What are "SelfBots?"

[umbral zealot]

you mean using a bot token in the client? no you can't do that

It's not possible.

[earnest phoenix]

Yes it Is

[umbral zealot]

no, it's not

[earnest phoenix]

Its Possible

[umbral zealot]

you cannot use a bot in the discord client

[eternal osprey]

are you trying to say that you are in the bot's account?

[eternal osprey]

prove.

[umbral zealot]

You literally cannot.

[eternal osprey]

I know.

[earnest phoenix]

Join my serrver ill prove

[eternal osprey]

no.

[earnest phoenix]

sure

[umbral zealot]

There is no way to actually use a bot's token to interact with the discord client, they blocked that "feature"

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

Thanks, But we Covered That

DM IF YOU THINK IM LYING
