yeah, what's your question
white drum
so video previews from my website do not load onto discord
example:
did my internet just die
nvm
mellow kelp
o
white drum
mellow kelp
o
white drum
that does
that shows
and its exactly the same but different website
and different video
mellow kelp
not really sure
white drum
and i am getting a request

How do i get the Bot Dev role?
white drum
by not speaking in this channel about it
and submitting a bot and getting it approved
slow kettle
Okay i just wanted to ask
slow kettle

@slim heart eeeeeeeee
slim heart
file
crimson vapor
fuck I must be doing something wrong
crimson vapor
https://million.is-a.computer/files/Pa5wPQFt334EQSZ3.png this worked in postman
@mellow kelp do you think you could help me with this?
crimson vapor
send a file
mellow kelp
local file am i right?
mellow kelp
oh then you need the form-data package
crimson vapor
fuck
crimson vapor
lol
crimson vapor
const FormData = require("form-data");
const fetch = require('node-fetch')
const fs = require('fs');
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', fs.readFileSync('README.md'), 'README.md')

slim heart
u might need to convert it to a data uri instead of a buffer
slim heart
idk i'm getting lost too
crimson vapor
oh
slim heart
you should ask in discord devs
trim saddle
@crimson vapor you wanna borrow my data uri thing?
crimson vapor
<@!277183033344524288> you wanna borrow my data uri thing?
does it work?
trim saddle
well yeah but it's a whole class thing
crimson vapor
you can send files?
trim saddle
no i can make data uris tho
quartz kindle
iirc formdata requires special headers
trim saddle
content-type: "multipart/form-data"
trim saddle
wha.
slim heart
in the docs u also need like the Content-Disposition header for the file name
mellow kelp
yes
slim heart
it sends the data as form data
trim saddle
all you have to do is provide a data uri
quartz kindle
the form-data package has an example for axios, just change it to use node fetch
crimson vapor
quartz kindle
axios.post( 'https://example.com/path/to/api',
form.getBuffer(),
form.getHeaders()
)
hmm weird, they have an example for node-fetch that doesnt use headers at all
mellow kelp
lmao
slim heart
might do it automatically in node fetch
crimson vapor
perhaps
quartz kindle
formdata headers are weird af
crimson vapor
discord requires multipart/form-data
quartz kindle
here's another example using node's http.request ```js
var form = new FormData();
form.append('image2.png', fs.readFileSync('./public/image2.png'));
res.set('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + form.getBoundary());
FUCK YES
TY TIM
const FormData = require("form-data");
const fetch = require('node-fetch')
const fs = require('fs');
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf8'), 'README.md')
console.log(formData.getHeaders());
fetch('https://discordapp.com/api/v8/channels/731324778345922631/messages', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
...formData.getHeaders(),
Authorization: 'Bot NjkyMDI5MzIwNzc1ODYwMjQ1.Xnokhw.KEKW',
},
body: formData
}).then(e => e.json()).then(e => console.log(e))```WORKED
trim saddle
ha
crimson vapor
TY @quartz kindle
crimson vapor
lmao
quartz kindle
i mean, its already in their examples
quartz kindle
btw, isnt google drive supposed to auto delete items from trash after 30 days?
crimson vapor
iirc
quartz kindle
my google drive was full of old ass trash
crimson vapor
or maybe once your drive fills up
quartz kindle
from a year ago
quartz kindle
ye but like
my drive was 15gb used out of 15gb
i had to empty trash + reload + empty trash + reload a bunch of times
because shit's bugged af
now the trash is finally empty
and got 10gb free space back
@_@
crimson vapor
lmao what
quartz kindle
all my projects are inside the drive sync folder
so everything i do gets auto synced to drive
trim saddle
ah yes
crimson vapor
what about node_module?
quartz kindle
the only shitty thing is that google drive sync cant filter out stuff
trim saddle
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: source.on is not a function thank you so much formdata

@slim heart how can I update the headers using your rest api lib?
trim saddle
but no file sent
crimson vapor

using this code to count total guilds, in a command i'm using the same thing but with message. at the beginning. The text coommand has the right count but the bot status is stuck on an old number. Anyone know why that'd be happening?
crimson vapor
are you updating the status? if you are show the code

valid temple
are you updating the status? if you are show the code
yes

crystal wigeon
how do i return a callback func? like im passing a func to node resque jobs but then i want a callback from this function
crystal wigeon
@umbral zealot
umbral zealot
"returning a callback function" is... returning a variable that contains a function
that's it
return (a) => {blah};
analog imp
anyone familiar with events and missing permissions on ready? thought i had this accounted for, one sec for code:
crystal wigeon
i know
so its like
im passing a func to my node resque jobs
inside there
im passing a func that has callback
umbral zealot
I'd like to clarify, I have no idea how node-resque works, I've never used it, and I've never installed redis, so my assistance is very limited 😂
umbral zealot
I can only speak in generalities of javascript
crystal wigeon
and its good
i know js lol
i mean the basic call func
jsut trying to get it from node resque
since idk the syntax
umbral zealot
Right so what do you have now and what do you need to do?
crystal wigeon
there
analog imp
try {
exports.invReady = client => {
client.guilds.cache.forEach(e =>{
if(e.me.hasPermission('SEND_MESSAGES')===false) {
return;
}
})
wait(1000);
client.guilds.cache.forEach(g => {
(doing stuff)
});
console.log('Loaded all invites in all guilds')
}
} catch (error) {
console.log('error')
}
what i have now is workers that'll pick a function that returns void
if i have a func that returns callback
umbral zealot
CAn you show the code
crystal wigeon
idk how to do it syntactically
[jobName]: {
Plugins: [Plugins.JobLock],
PluginOptions: {
JobLock: { reEnqueue: true },
},
perform: () => {
jobsToComplete--;
// this.tryShutdown();
if (typeof jobFunc === "function") {
return jobFunc(funcParams);
}
return false;
},
},
}```this is the job
analog imp
and the error i keep getting on ready:
(node:23432) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions

at async RequestHandler.push (c:\Users\PC4\Desktop\v2-new\node_modules\discord.js\src\rest\RequestHandler.js:39:14)
Actually it doesn't
crystal wigeon
how do i access that
umbral zealot
I mean, this returns the results of jobFunc(funcParams) so unless jobFunc returns a function, it's not "Returning a callback"
just to be clear: a callback is literally just a function we call by another name because it's cutesy.
umbral zealot
Ok so, like, how do you call perform(), then?
umbral zealot
then you can't access the return value, I'm pretty sure
analog imp
i am using both try-catch for catching the error, and forEach looping each guild to check permissions. still comes up with the error on start. no commands used, just on ready. know where the error is just would like to catch it, but seems to be doing it at permission checks
crystal wigeon
yeah thats what i was thinking
umbral zealot
and the error i keep getting on ready:
```
(node:23432) UnhandledPromiseRejectio...
your initial forEach does... literally nothing. Like, it... doesn't actually do anything useful
umbral zealot
client.guilds.cache.forEach(e =>{
if(e.me.hasPermission('SEND_MESSAGES')===false) {
return;
}
})
This just... loop and does nothing. It's pointless.
crystal wigeon
lol
crimson vapor
<@!277183033344524288> tried logging the raw response
sometimes same
analog imp
alright so that aside, not even this is doing anything
try {
exports.invReady = client => {
something something
}
} catch (error) {
console.log('error')
}```.method({ headers: {...}, body: ... })
tho i think it might not work
ngl
crimson vapor
I don't think it does
slim heart
1s
trim saddle
got the proper json response
analog imp
still exports. that's odd imo
crimson vapor
pog
trim saddle
i'm cancelling this project
umbral zealot
Why would you even export a function from within a try/catch that doesn't even make any sense
crimson vapor
or just replace them?
slim heart
and do
{ headers: {...}, body: formData, parser: (_) => _) }
umbral zealot
I dunno it looks like button mashing to me
slim heart
its cuz the parser is all messed
analog imp
because i'm trying to catch missing permission "SEND_MESSAGES" from the getgo
slim heart
so if options.parser is there itll just run it and return itself
umbral zealot
you should do that catch inside the function itself
crimson vapor
so if options.parser is there itll just run it and return itself
poggers
umbral zealot
Anyways, what you need is filter() not forEach
like I said the foreach is 100% pointless as is
analog imp
.filter() for each guild?
umbral zealot
no
analog imp
hmm
umbral zealot
client.guilds.cache.filter
trim saddle
@slim heart can you like join a live share before my brain
umbral zealot
so you want to filter on guilds where you have permissions to speak, right?
slim heart
sure
o
u mean like code share
cant rn im like nap time but u can ask questions ig
trim saddle
naptime?
analog imp
this is on the ready event, when the bot loads in, i'm not looking to filter guilds, because it needs to load each guilds' invites
whenever it restarts
trim saddle
it's 11 at night
umbral zealot
So what are you trying to do
trim saddle
and you're a grown man
analog imp
trying to catch missing permission "SEND_MESSAGES" from the getgo
slim heart
nap time
umbral zealot
"catch"
for what reason
what are you trying to do
what's the end game? I have literally no clue what you're trying to do
slim heart
show?

if my bot is in 100 guilds and each guild denies send messages, it won't stop polluting the logs

You did? Good, because I still have no goddamn clue what you're trying to do 😂
Because this... this makes sense. ```js
client.guilds.cache.forEach(g => {
g.fetchInvites().then(async guildInvites => {
invites[g.id] = guildInvites;
});
});
I know what this is. Looks like the AIG invite tracker code, somewhat.But a shit version of it tbh
crimson vapor
invites[] undefined
umbral zealot
Cuz... I mean... it literally is ```js
// Initialize the invite cache
const invites = {};
// A pretty useful method to create a delay without blocking the whole script.
const wait = require('util').promisify(setTimeout);
client.on('ready', async () => {
// "ready" isn't really ready. We need to wait a spell.
await wait(1000);
// Load all invites for all guilds and save them to the cache.
client.guilds.cache.forEach(g => {
g.fetchInvites().then(guildInvites => {
invites[g.id] = guildInvites;
});
});
});
Straight-up from this <https://anidiots.guide/coding-guides/tracking-used-invites>But your added loop is just... nothing

But for whatever reason, It responds to any message as long as it starts with the prefix. Ideas? (it gives no errors)
d.js v12
lusty quest
did you use a Command Handler or is it a single file Bot?
agile lance
Command handler
lusty quest
so this one command fires regardless of the command being valid or not
lusty quest
sounds like an issue with your command handler
agile lance
Never seen this happen before
lusty quest
or your command
sacred aurora
and whats the response?
lusty quest
probably the error
agile lance
and whats the response?
@agile lance, Code already redeemed.
sacred aurora
oh
lusty quest
wait so it skips your entire logic?
agile lance
Basically
sacred aurora
i think
!args[0]==code
that is wrong
lusty quest
yea there is stuff wrong with your entire command
sacred aurora
i never write it like that
lusty quest
he gets the first item from the array
sacred aurora
try
args[0]!=code
instead
agile lance
Okay
lusty quest
but this wont fix the issue that the command fires on every string that starts with the prefix
agile lance
Now it automatically redeemed the code without any code being inputed
sacred aurora
:v really
lusty quest
there is something broken in your logic somewhere either the Command handler or the command
lusty quest
other commands work fine?
lusty quest
then its probably this one command
sacred aurora
does the code only "release"?
agile lance
thats the only code yeah
lusty quest
i guess its a placeholder for Dev
sacred aurora
why not make the command named "code"
and then make an array that contain all the code to be redeem
so the script check if args[0] included in the code array then it redeem it
something like _code [the code]
fuk or am i misunderstood the problem
hmm
lusty quest
i think this is something for later
currently the command fires without being called
eg every string that starts with the prefix triggers this command
sacred aurora
oh
sacred aurora
something like `_code [the code]`
yea then why not made something like this
the _ is the prefix
instead of ${prefix}[code]
agile lance
Oh i figured it out
sacred aurora
umm is there an event that called when the bot leave a server?
sacred aurora
Oh i figured it out
so what is it
agile lance
i never exported the ‘name’ module so it never knew the command name
sacred aurora
hmmmmm
crimson vapor
guildDelete iirc
agile lance
guildMemberLeave
sacred aurora
oh kay
pale vessel
guildMemberLeave
Nope
crimson vapor
nope
agile lance
guildDelete is when the bot leaves a guild
agile lance
guildMemberAdd and guildMemberDelete are for members i believe
dont trust me i that >.>
lusty quest
https://gist.github.com/koad/316b265a91d933fd1b62dddfcc3ff584 can recommend this spreadsheet
sacred aurora
whoa thanks
client.on('guildCreate', async (guild) => {
console.log("Leaved a server named " + guild.name);
return Config.deleteOne({guildId: guild.id});
});
that should work right
pale vessel
it's guildDelete
pale vessel
Yes
sacred aurora
is there any other problem
bleak spire
can someone help me pls?
sacred aurora
ah aight
pale vessel
"create" doesn't mean the bot left a server lmao
sacred aurora
yeah i know XD
bleak spire
@pale vessel how can i make my glitch porject bot 24/7 pls
lusty quest
you cant
pale vessel
you can't use ping services, they're against tos
lusty quest
exept with buying prem
but then i would get a proper VPS instead they are cheaper and less limited
bleak spire
can i download the project and make in visual studio code?
lusty quest
you have your bot on Github right?
bleak spire
no
bleak spire
how can i make it to github
bleak spire
ok
rocky hearth
const moves = currentSquare.isFreezed ? this.freezedMove : this.vectorMove;
Is this a valid js? This statement is written in a method of the same class.
crimson vapor
should be
rocky hearth
But when I do moves().
It says this is undefined
I tried doing
const move = (currentSquare.isFreezed ? this.freezedMove : this.vectorMove).bind(this);
And then it worked fine!
bleak spire
@lusty quest i uploaded to github
lusty quest
then just clone the repo to your pc and edit the bot with VSC
maybe install Github desktop to manage it from your PC
tribal siren
did you define this
lusty quest
would also make sure to make the Code private if you dont want others to use it
bleak spire
lusty quest
well there is everything you need
bleak spire
how can i now open this with vsc
tribal siren
go to vsc...?
lusty quest
did you got vsc installed?
rocky hearth
did you define ``this``
As I said, that statement is written in some other method of the same class.
tribal siren
do you have it
tribal siren
As I said, that statement is written in some other method of the same class.
oh oooh
my bad my bad
bleak spire
@lusty quest yup
tribal siren
then go to it
lusty quest
rightclick in the folder and then use open in vsc (works for me)
bleak spire
lusty quest
well so you dont installed this integration
then do it the other way
open VSC and then open the project inside vsc
crimson vapor
or click on the folder and press open with visual studio code
tribal siren
so now my problem uuh
lusty quest
if you see the screenshot above he doesnt installed the extension for it
tribal siren
how to make a bot find the first channel in the guild?
bleak spire
ok work its work
rocky hearth
or simply drag and drop the folder in vsc
bleak spire
but i need now to make it 2477
lusty quest
get a VPS
bleak spire
24/7
lusty quest
if you dont know where check the pins in this channel
tribal siren
get a VPS
bleak spire
i cant found
tribal siren
then try better
lusty quest
tepid osprey
I need a simple welcome messages but it won't show
And my welcome is like if someone joins a server where bot is it also says that
lusty quest
listen to the MemberAdd event

best cheap vps hosting?
there is not really a best. you get what you pay, some hosters offer more for the value than others.
but iirc Vultr offers a 1GB VPS for 3$/Month

I pay $6/month for 1GB of RAM on Vultr, but with a high freq CPU as well

should i get the 512 gb $2.50 a month plan or a raspberry pi 3 b+
lusty quest
how far did you plan to Grow your Bot?
dusky sundial
VPS is usually a better option than self hosting imo
cerulean ingot
hmm
lusty quest
VPS got its ups and downs,
Good:
Usually 99% of the time 24/7
no Hardware Maintaince required
Bad:
You are fucked if the hoster decides to Shutdown (yes this is a thing)
You have to Maintain the Software Side
Rapsberry Pi:
Good:
100% Access to the Hardware
No Fear of loosing access to it for some reason (like the Hoster shuts down)
Bad:
Passive Cost of Electicity
You Have to manage the Software and Hardware yourself (Good if you are good in linux/ Server Stuff)
Usually they boot of an SD Card, you have to add a 2nd storage or the SD card will degrade fast.
Affected by local poweroutages
cerulean ingot
thank you lol
lusty quest
there are ways to overcome the SD card limitations (there is now the ability to boot of an External Drive)

I used to host mine on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and it worked fine with around 1k guilds. But as it grew I decided it was probably better to swap to a vps. I'm pretty sure Discord even said in their verification message that when the bot grows bigger a hosting service is usually better.
lusty quest
depends on the context, i could run my Bot of my NAS easy, until i reach around 3-4 Shards i guess
but i prefer the Reliability of an proper host and plan to switch to K8 anyways soon
dusky sundial
Yeah, I just happened to have a raspberry lying around. I probably wouldn't buy one just for bot hosting tho
analog imp
brain has a point--my bots do well, and honestly the electricity isn't too bad, they aren't big though, only thing with that is becoming familiar with raspbian. i will say, if your isp is unreliable or have network updates, it will boot your bot offline. i have suffered this a few times, due to updates on my network. my honest recommendation is if you plan on going 2k guilds or more, don't go with a pi
damn my typing is really slow tonight
lusty quest
i have an Raspberry also running, but there i have some stuff for my network running on (Pihole and UI Controller)
dusky sundial
I'm gonna try the new Windows 10 thingie for Raspberry Pi just to see how it works lol
lusty quest

do you have an older pi brain? my pi 2 b is still running strong, even after some stress testing hehe. still used for small projects :)

ahhh

i have even a Server lying around lol.
could throw in a few HDDs and run something on it, but the issue is it got an AMD Turion N40l Processor

how can i create a special cooldown with djs? like im using a normal discord.js command handler with example command like
module.exports = {
name: 'test',
aliases: [],
cooldown: 2,
description: 'test cmd',
type: 'hidden',
execute: (message, args) => {
//...
}
}
``` but how do i like change the cooldown depending on whether there are args or noti where also thinking about to get a Turing Pi board. this thing is interestening, you can plug 6 Compute Modules in and form a K8 Cluster with them
lusty quest
how can i create a special cooldown with djs? like im using a normal discord.js ...
you probably have to modify the command handler for it
but it will be probably annoying
since you have to somehow let your command handler known that there are arguments
analog imp
hmmmm
true
could use humanize-duration if you don't want to modify the handler, but would probably get messy
did that a few times prior to redoing my handler
earnest phoenix
Oh right, any problem else?
shrewd creek
guys i put my bot status as the no of servers in which my bot is in but it shows 0 always
analog imp
i don't recommend going that route btw if you are going for lengthy cooldown times, just remembered. if your bot restarts at all it will remove the "cooldown" for everyone in the map
lusty quest
guys i put my bot status as the no of servers in which my bot is in but it shows...

That's true, but if he uses a db to manage all cooldowns it should be fixed 😮
analog imp
i where also thinking about to get a Turing Pi board. this thing is interestenin...
just saw this. i find it pretty interesting too tbh. always thought the little pi 3 clusters were pretty cool, just can get pretty expensive if you don't have the budget
lusty quest
the Turing Pi is fine price wise, you pay 180€ for the Board and then 60€ for each module
if you go with the conventional stack you either get some cable salad while running 2 cables to each RPI or use the POE board and get a more expensive POE switch
earnest phoenix
lusty quest
this here is probably the wrong place to look for this stuff
yea but in the end the Turing Pi board will be cheaper
since you have to get the POE Board for each RPI
analog imp
yep yep, just checked it out. been a while since i've looked at their products
lusty quest
exept you have already a few RPI lying around
analog imp
looks like they're limiting compute modules and out of stock for the turing pi
and ofc, there's a turing pi 2
not a bad price actually for it
lusty quest
py is one of the easyest to learn
earnest phoenix
Ya, this is probably the wrong place cause all people that talks here are making or already has a bot.
lusty quest
if you know py easy
earnest phoenix
py is one of the easyest to learn
Ik someone that says python sucks to make discord bots
lusty quest
py is ok but not the most efficent language
compared to js as example py is super slow
analog imp
imo if you wanna go with least efficient c# is the way to go
earnest phoenix
The most efficent language for making bots is js with the library discord.js
lusty quest
Rust is way more Efficent
earnest phoenix
imo if you wanna go with least efficient c# is the way to go
lmao

earnest phoenix
Programming always includes maths
Learn basic maths to make basic code
Probably not here
analog imp
not here, and not sure where you could hire someone
slim void
I have a bot.. but I'm having nothing but problems.
And I'm not enjoying coding rn
I enjoy the creation. But not making it.
earnest phoenix
Ik someone that accept contracts to make bots but he speaks spanish
analog imp
earnest phoenix
I enjoy the creation. But not making it.
Coding is one form of the creating art
Teaching a machine how to do something
Creating beatiful systems
What the hell is musk
Oh
Nvm
Also, you don't need money to start creating your own bot
analog imp
not really sure what to tell you tbh, learning programming doesn't cost money
neither does implementing your ideas into it
earnest phoenix
My bot doesn't generate money and i don't want to generate money with my bot
Also, i didn't spend money on my bot.
Suggest ideas to someone to implement in an existent bot
analog imp
^^^
analog imp
not really, i don't think contributing to a hobby/field/whatever that benefits everyone, whether you are credited or not is a waste of life
then all i can recommend is learning programming
if you want to create something that's yours
earnest phoenix
Bro
earnest phoenix
Imagine this:
"I got a big idea that will innovate everybody and someone else that i hired makes real my idea" your credits arn't too important cause you didn't make real that idea.
analog imp
@slim void
slim void
Don't ping me pls, I'm busy.
analog imp
i recommend learning programming as a start to your endeavors. as simple as that, but i don't think you're in the right spot for hiring people, and calling programmers on the low end isn't nice. wish you luck!
slim void
Yeah I have my own bot.
Custom suggestions, logs, huge database, just don't wanna go farther lol.
lusty quest
imo if you wanna go with least efficient c# is the way to go
C# is more efficent than PY or JS, also supports multi threading
lusty quest
yea? C# is pretty efficent
analog imp
hmmm, in regards to multi threading definitely
lusty quest
a compiled Language is usually always more efficent than non compiled
analog imp
if i had to put discord.js vs discord.net for bot development, i'd still go for js personally
lusty quest
if you want more efficent langauage look into Rust
analog imp
i'm a bit familiar, honestly i've been pretty curious about mercury though
in regards to machine learning even
got any thoughts on mercury?
cinder patio
never heard of it
analog imp
lusty quest
looks fine, but i think i stick with Learning Rust
lusty quest
its fast AF
analog imp
python collects garbage, rust collects 0
lusty quest
since it compiles to machine code, since its memory save you dont need to collect garbage
cinder patio
but Rust is also very restrictive and that's why i don't really like it.
analog imp
hmmmm
lusty quest
i just started learning it yesterday, im about 1/4 throu the docs, also thanks to knowing other programing languages its relatively easy to pickup
cinder patio
Did you get through lifetimes?
cinder patio
cause that's when I just gave up
lusty quest
im already further with Rust than GO
lusty quest
well failed to Install a Enviroment for go. so i gave up
cinder patio
I prefer C++ over Rust and Go, but that's just me
lusty quest
Go is nice bcs of fast Compiling, but Rust on the other hand compiles to well optimized fast code
cinder patio
you can also make your own language if you aren't happy with any of the existing ones lol
It's actually pretty easy to create your own programming language, but it's really hard to make it good
bleak spire
finally its done
honest perch
@lusty quest how tf did you fail to install go

mongoose is rounding userids
does anyone know why
for me it rounded 248692731163967498 to 248692731163967500
lusty quest
did you store them as an Int?
wheat jewel
@lusty quest yes
lusty quest
dont do this
cinder patio
store them as a string
lusty quest
store them as a String. most Discord libs should be able to parse the ID from a string
true ravine
Storing any ids as an integer is a nightmare because you get all kinds of weirdness, so in my experience most use strings
wheat jewel
okay, thanks

Hello Im making warning system but I need to know what permissions should I make it require in order to warn someone?
lusty quest
there are 2 ways i guess. use Admin or manage Guild Permission or request that they set Roles that are allowed to do so
dawn yacht
In rules I shouldnt make it require Admin
lusty quest
not the Bot, the User
lusty quest
the rules state for Bot
dawn yacht
You cant kick without kick permissions
I want to know what permissions should user need to warn
true ravine
There is no warning system built into discord - if you were to make your own it doesn't require any permissions from discord
dawn yacht
So regular people warn admins???
slender thistle
I used KICK_MEMBERS and BAN_MEMBERS for my warn commands
dawn yacht
Idk /:
true ravine
If you want to limit who can warn who, you need to do that in your code. Discord doesn't have a warnings system so none of it's permissions are relevant
And yes if you want the user to receive a kick or ban at a certain amount of warnings you will need kick and ban members permissions from discord, but the actual warnings do not
slender thistle
Not the best option, but...

On the github integration thingy for vscode, how do I commit some changes with one message and others with a different message?
lusty quest
i think you can select what files to commit

I tried selecting them and then pressing commit but it just did all of them 
lusty quest
hmm then use Github Desktop and do it there. works for me

I'd rather be able to do everything from one program tbh

Is this a bad sign? My CPU is always running lose close to 100%

Why is this doing that..
You need to show your code for us to find out
rose warren
Try const deletecount = parseInt(args[0]) instead
earnest phoenix
Alr, but won’t it be like this
rose warren
Also, catch the errors.
message.channel.bulkDelete(deleteCount + 1).catch(error => message.reply(`Couldn't delete messages because of: ${error}`));
Yes. That's what I said 👀
rose warren
You should do +1 on deletecount so it includes the command
earnest phoenix
Alr
rose warren
And you don't need the ; in node. Doesn't make any difference here.
earnest phoenix
Oh alr
message.channel.bulkDelete(deleteCount + 1).catch(error => message.reply(Couldn't delete messages because of: ${error}));
Which line should this be in? Sorry I forgot
earnest phoenix
Alrighty
rose warren
rose warren
Check console
earnest phoenix
rose warren
Oh you just need to add tick quotes
message.channel.bulkDelete(deleteCount + 1).catch(error => message.reply(`Couldn't delete messages because of: ${error}`));
I was also thinking that
rose warren
My bad. Sorry. I'm on my phone.

<@306557645479870464> yea not working
and whats the error
rancid cairn
true ravine
If you get any errors they might contain a line number where something went wrong, if not use console.logs and see where they stop logging
earnest phoenix
Just on the response it’s saying there’s a bug..
true ravine
What about on repl?
earnest phoenix
Hm just says successfully loaded
true ravine
In that case try console logs
earnest phoenix
Lemme reload again
true ravine
Put them at various stages and see which actually log
rancid cairn
good job
true ravine
It's saying about line 107, have a look there
Try looking for parts of the error referencing your code, and then see what it's on about
true ravine
It says it's in index.js
earnest phoenix
Ohh
slender thistle
no one cares about "use python" opinions, so let them code whichever language

earnest phoenix
sacred aurora
bruh
earnest phoenix
@true ravine so what ya see?
true ravine
Yeah scroll up a bit in your logs from where you took that screenshot
sacred aurora
now thats the problem
sacred aurora
u define it with lower case c
zenith terrace
you defined it as deletecount,
sacred aurora
'deletecount'
sacred aurora
bruh
true ravine
If you can work out what the repl gods want then maybe you could write your variables names in that way so they don't change them
earnest phoenix
True
true ravine
Also most IDEs show if a variable is not used or defined by changing the colour a bit - does repl do that?
earnest phoenix
Uh why does it do this before it didn’t, it said there was an error before weird..
true ravine
The deleting it's own message thing?
true ravine
Oh I see
sacred aurora
change the code again then
true ravine
I mean true
sacred aurora
if(deleteCount <= 0) return blasdsadald
earnest phoenix
LOL
true ravine
Look for the code where you tell it to delete messages, and see if something looks wrong
earnest phoenix
I’ll see what I can do
true ravine
In theory shouldn't it throw an error if you try to delete 0 messages?
Or will it just do nothing
Idk
earnest phoenix
Yea it dosent
true ravine
Perhaps you are adding 1 to your count then
earnest phoenix
I hate this idiotic cool down like every time I remove it, it shows 504 error
true ravine
i think i saw deleteCount + 1 in your code
Yeah they have it directly in the bulk delete function lol
true ravine
That's good
true ravine
Purging messages is an async thing so unless you wait for it to finish it will say it was successful no matter what happens
For now though, just add an if statement to make sure deleteCount is greater than or equal to 1, and you'll be cookin
earnest phoenix
Ye you’re right

here's a question, is it bad to do await Promise.catch() ?
try/catch is usually the syntax i follow , even for single lines, but i was recently thinking if its a bad idea to do await .catch()
Anybody knows?
true ravine
Is there any particular reason you want to do it that way?
opal plank
declarations, mostly
let thing;
try {
thing = await something
} catch(e) {console.log(e)};
///////
let thing = await something.catch(e => console.log(e));
the usual format i follow is the top one, im used to not chaining .then() or .ctahc() with await, though recently i've been pondering about that
apart from the obviously shorter code, im not sure if there are any implications when using await with a catch
true ravine
From my limited understanding, the promise.catch syntax and try{await promise}catch{oh no} syntax are two different methods of doing the same thing and don't really have any reason to mix if that makes any sense
earnest phoenix
Sa
opal plank
thats the thing with mixing that im a bit curious about, clearly , most docs i visited state either one or another, and most of the times favouring try/catch other than .catch/.then, though im part i assume most of this is to accomodate and push towards using async code
there are plenty of stuff like this out there
where the phrasing suggests using .then/.catch is not recommended
true ravine
Ngl this seems like a question for Tim, he'll have a big brain answer
opal plank
true ravine
Yeah like you say I've never seen them mixed
opal plank
im aware both works, but im unaware of why they shouldnt, or more precisely, why they arent recommended
@quartz kindle timmy turner
