How Do i make It Exist
modest smelt
I want to get someone's bank balance in dank memer through a bot. The embed with the user's info is the last message, but how do I read the embed and get the actual bank balance? discord.py
earnest phoenix
problem: something is not defined
solve: define something 
lyric mountain
Those are your available variables
glacial pagoda
ye
lyric mountain
Unless you have some global vars file, that's all you have to work with
glacial pagoda
Oh
lyric mountain
Read the docs for the lang/lib you're using, that's all the reference you'll ever need
glacial pagoda
Ok

Assuming msg is the Message object, msg.embeds[0] will return the first embed of the message, then just get the attribute you need.
drifting wedge
it keeps saying file not found
earnest phoenix
```with open(".cogs.games.easy.txt", "r") as dictionary:``` is this correct?
I doubt
how the file structure looks like?

what is the "first embed"
regal inlet
how do i upvote mafia bot
lyric mountain
Click vote on its page
drifting wedge
worked ty
earnest phoenix
Well, a message can have multiple embeds, so you get the first one
regal inlet
how
modest smelt
Well, a message can have multiple embeds, so you get the first one
ok i want to get the second line
like not the description
but the second element
earnest phoenix
second field?
modest smelt
how would i do that?
regal inlet
k
earnest phoenix
then just embed.fields[1], embed is the first embed I was talking about
modest smelt
ok
lyric mountain
Ok, nvm
regal inlet
huh
earnest phoenix
It'll return an EmbedProxy that has name and value attributes btw.
bro i correct it and now the error is :
code is :-
`def get_prefix(client, message):
with open("prefixes.json", "r") as f:
prefixes = json.load(f)
return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = get_prefix, help_command=None)`
if someone invited your bot while it's offline, the key will not exist
i am now doing rial only
assuming you're dumping it in on_guild_join
my bot is in my trial server
earnest phoenix
*assuming you're dumping it in on_guild_join*
oh
i was sleeping, check out this article https://mikecodes.net/2020/05/11/in-app-scripts-with-c-roslyn/
earnest phoenix
*assuming you're dumping it in on_guild_join*
`@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
with open("prefixes.jsno", "r") as f:
prefixes = json.load(f)
prefixes[str(guild.id)] = "]"
with open("prefixes.jsno", "w") as f:
json.dump(prefixes, f)`
Why on earth is it jsno
well doesn't matter anyway
😆
i have to re invite my bot ?
solemn leaf
wait json db?
earnest phoenix
then will it work ?
ya
That's the unlike option I'd choose
😕
if it was a public bot, why would you let people to re-invite it just to make it work? Instead, handle the error. You could do either:
- try and except, then dump it on exception
- if statement to see if the key exists, if not dump it
- use dict.get which can return a default value if the key doesn't exist
ok
earnest phoenix
if it was a public bot, why would you let people to re-invite it just to make it...
which db do u use ?
should i use mango db ?

Anyone here successfully implemented sharding with discord.js?
For some reason, my sharding manager hasn't actually spawned any new shards ... it's up to about 1.4k servers on a single shard. Unless that's by some default higher number than 1,000?
solemn latch
i thought default was 2500
solemn latch
i dont actually know, lemme see if i can find it in the docs
long marsh
Is 2,500 recommended? I've seen 1,000 recommended in various places.
solemn latch
1500 is recommended to start sharding, the number you use is as much as a single thread can handle.
many bots use over 2500 with internal sharding.
limpid moth
I'm trying to make an embedded message and I keep getting this warning "UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Cannot send an empty message"

That's error sounds fairly self-explanatory, tbh

I don't know how to fix it though

limpid moth
I tried looking up solutions but none work
long marsh
I tried looking up solutions but none work
Probably what's happening is that you're sending an undefined variable by mistake.
Can't be clear on that without the code 🤷♂️

const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#f1fab9')

.setImage(message.author.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true }))

Do you have the link to that?
solemn latch
limpid moth
That is the code for the creation of the embed
long marsh
That is the code for the creation of the embed
I don't see a title 👀
limpid moth
I have discord defined as discord.js
long marsh
Where is the setTitle()?
limpid moth
Are titles necessary?
long marsh
I thought so 🤷♂️ - could be wrong
limpid moth
It gave me the same message when I changed the description to title.
long marsh
It gave me the same message when I changed the description to title.
Doesn't it need both a title and description?
earnest phoenix
no
long marsh
It gave me the same message when I changed the description to title.
What about the actual message send portion?
How is it sending the embed?
earnest phoenix
can someone tell how i can send an array into a text file, does i need fs ? or i can do something without it
limpid moth
if (!message.mentions.users.size) {
try {
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#f1fab9')
.setTitle(`${message.author}'s avatar!`)
.setImage(message.author.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true }))
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter('Wanted someone else\'s avatar? Tag them in the command!');
message.channel.send({ embed });
}
catch(error) {
message.reply('there was an error');
console.log(error);
}
}
what's the use case for this
@earnest phoenix export a list of user with a certain badge

Do you use DiscordJS with its sharding manager?
mellow kelp
<@456226577798135808> export a list of user with a certain badge
you should probably use json
solemn latch
i dont even have any bots anymore, never got to the point i needed sharding
earnest phoenix
json?? no i mean i want to send the userlist into a .txt file

I'm not quite certain on that. I have to use message.channel.send({embed: whatever}). The syntactical sugar there is message.channel.send({embed}) since the variable name is embed
earnest phoenix
i have no idea how to do it with node but you need to generate the string, convert it to a buffer and then just send that buffer as a file
@mellow kelp but i need a file??

If you are storing data you should use sql databases

That is interesting now that you mention it.
earnest phoenix
oh no it's okay, i saw MessageAttachments on the docs and that's actually what i search i think
long marsh
I just used the options object and it works for me 🤷♂️
I can additionally do message.channel.send('text here')
limpid moth
It sends an embed just gives an error
mellow kelp
oh no it's okay, i saw `MessageAttachments` on the docs and that's actually what...
oh aight
long marsh
Does anyone have a successful implementation of the sharding manager for Discordjs?
limpid moth
This is the embed it gives me an error in the terminal but still sends 🤷
I also want the avatar to be larger like how dyno has it, but I couldn't find a solution
mellow kelp
for the size, use the size option on the avatar url method
limpid moth
Ok
earnest phoenix
are you sure the error is coming from there
limpid moth
All of the guides I found used 256 which didn't change the avatar's size but using 2048 is a good size in my opinion
const Discord = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
name: 'avatar',
description: 'Gets your avatar or the avatar of the tagged user!',
execute(message) {
if (!message.mentions.users.size) {
try {
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#f1fab9')
.setDescription(`${message.author}'s avatar!`)
.setImage(message.author.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true, size: 2048 }))
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter('Wanted someone else\'s avatar? Tag them in the command!');
message.channel.send(embed);
}
catch(error) {
message.reply('there was an error');
console.log(error);
}
}
const avatarList = message.mentions.users.map(user => {
return `${user.username}'s avatar: <${user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}> \n Wanted your avatar? Don't tag a user in the command`;
});
message.channel.send(avatarList);
},
};
actually it could be, you're not awaiting send so that try catch won't work

@slim heart are you still alive? I need help
slim heart
currently dead but sure what's up
earnest phoenix
✨ and it was an xyproblem all along ✨
crimson vapor
currently dead but sure what's up
crimson vapor
I thought you had defaults
slim heart
it does
crimson vapor
thats why its intents?
slim heart
don't define it
slim heart
it should default to all intents but privileged ones
pain
uh
just sent intents to the array of intents u want
crimson vapor
I grabbed the basic intents from the intents calc
slim heart
u can make it an array
crimson vapor
u can make it an array
of strings?
mellow kelp
i used Buffer.from() function
pog
slim heart
or try settings intents to false
slim heart
intents: Array.isArray(options.intents)
? options.intents.reduce((a, b) => a | Intents[b], 0)
: options.intents === true
? Object.values(Intents).reduce((a, b) => a | b, 0)
: options.intents
? options.intents
: Object.values(Intents).reduce((a, b) => a | b) &~ Intents['GUILD_MEMBERS'] &~ Intents['GUILD_PRESENCES'],
crimson vapor
sadly it worked before I pulled
slim heart
idk what could be wrong
crimson vapor
fuck intents
slim heart
just use an array of intents
pale vessel
Intents good
slim heart
should be typed

I have this,
const manager = new ShardingManager('./src/bot.js', { token: Config.Bot.token });
manager.on('shardCreate', (shard) => console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}`));
manager.spawn();
My discord bot hasn't actually spawned any new shards even though it's been placed in over 1k servers? Am I doing something wrong?
long marsh
Just 1
slim heart
the recommended is 1k per shard
crimson vapor
likely because discord thinks it only needs 1
slim heart
if you want more shards u have to set it manually
long marsh
It's in 1.4k right now 🤔
Shouldn't it have spawned another automatically?
Making it 2 shards?
slim heart
once you hit 2k it will
trim saddle
berry
long marsh
So the first 1,999 servers are all on 1 shard?
slim heart
u can lower it to like 700 servers per shard or something
long marsh
That's technically almost 2k servers to 1 shard
slim heart
yeah
slim heart
a shard can reliably handle more than the max, which is 2.5k it's not debilitating to have 2k on one shard
long marsh
Yeah, def. I'm not worried about it.
I was just concerned thinking I wasn't doing something correctly.
long marsh
i mean u can forcefully shard
I'm just going to let it do its own thing. I'm at 2% CPU usage with 1.4k servers ... and I don't really notice any lag at all.
old cliff
1.4k shards ?
long marsh
oops - 1.4k servers 😄
trim saddle
how exactly do you make sharding in a lib
slim heart
shards aren't really for lag preventation but yeah
long marsh
Damn, they aren't?
slim heart
for discord it's useful
trim saddle
it doesn't force you to do anything
slim heart
and less load on them
long marsh
I thought discord did force you to shard?
slim heart
at 2.5k yeah
trim saddle
but discord recommends sharding for ease on them
long marsh
Yeah, that's what I thought.
slim heart
discord has a shard count calculate endpoint that is used by default
so if u leave it undefined discord decides how many shards to spawn
long marsh
Which library do you work on?
slim heart
pog
long marsh
@top.gg/sdk ?
slim heart
yessir
long marsh
Perfect! 0 problems. Thanks for your contribution on that!
slim heart

crimson vapor

can you send me the intents you test with?
long marsh
Thank god I don't use them 😄

Worst comes to worst, Tim gets hit by a bus and if no one maintains it ... I'll just interchange it out with Discord.js again.

Another quick question - is there any referenced documentation for catching DiscordAPIErrors?
crimson vapor
@slim heart add ctx.content which is message.content minus the prefix shit
long marsh
'Cannot execute action on a DM channel' would be something I'd want to avoid in the future by just filtering those out all together
cinder patio
don't log the error depending on it's error code
long marsh
don't log the error depending on it's error code
I'm saying, how can I prevent the bot from responding to DMs. Sorry for not making that clear 😄
long marsh
Is it that simple 😄
long marsh
Is that a client parameter?
solemn leaf
message.channel.type === "dm"
pale vessel
message.guild will be null on DMs
pale vessel
Yes
pale vessel
long marsh
Is it custom for most bots to allow dm's? Or do most popular bots not allow them?
Not that it matters, just curious.
solemn leaf
I dont allow mine
pale vessel
My bot doesn't allow it
solemn leaf
bcs I dont need them
pale vessel
It breaks my prefix stuff
solemn leaf
^^
pale vessel
and people would just spam it
crimson vapor
I don't do anything about it
long marsh
True
solemn leaf
well you can do like

solemn leaf
they arent a object

long marsh
Thomas legit the only reason you would need dms would be for like help commands
True . Plus, I don't want to do that anyways 😄
pale vessel
Some people disable their DMs
long marsh
Not only is it annoying to navigate to dms - but it may also pose another problem of lack of permissions to be able to send dm's.
pale vessel
give me cavnas code
long marsh
Exactly
crystal wigeon
lets say i have a queue that is put in a promise.all that would finish executing any element in the queue array, how do i remove the finished item from the queue? queue.shift() would remove the first one, but it whouldn't if its not rfinished
crystal wigeon
var userQueue = [user1, user2];
function initUpdateQueue() {
setInterval(() => {
Promise.all(userQueue.map(async (u) => {
await updateUser({ id: u.id }, u);
var temp = clone(userQueue);
temp.shift();
userQueue = temp;
}));
}, 1000 * 5);
}
yeah ik
but if user2 finishes and user1 is still executing
it shouldnt remove that from the queue
solemn leaf
what?
crystal wigeon
i mean
solemn leaf
check length of the array
pale vessel
You can't use async inside methods like map() and forEach()
solemn leaf
idk what you mean exactly
pale vessel
They ignore it
crystal wigeon
i need to remove the item that finishes first
if [0] has not finished but [3] has finished
i need to remove 3
not 0
crystal wigeon
ah splice

Before my bot got verified it worked. Now it’s verified on discord and doesn’t work.
pale vessel
You need to cache members
agile lance
It worked fine before verification though
pale vessel
Did you request for the guild members intent?
You need that in order to fetch all guild members
agile lance
I did and I got asked to provided screenshots of it, So I did and a week later and it was verified
pale vessel
Try adding await message.guild.members.fetch() to the first line of your code
That makes sure that all members are cached
icy skiff
Hello, I'm developing a bot with the discord.py package and using python's built-in SQLite3 to store users/guilds settings. Eventually I want to host my bot on Heroku, but since it loads the database from github and SQLite3 is a local database, restarting the bot would result in losing everything after the bot started running. Is there a way to solve this without having to move the database to something like Postgresql? Thanks :)
pale vessel
I'm afraid not
You'd have to use remote database
Heroku offers free PostgreSQL database, maybe use that?
icy skiff
Ye, I knew about that, I was Just too lazy to change the whole code database system 
But ok seems like ill have to do It anyways, thanks :]

when there are 100 users concurrently making calls to DB the response time keeps increasing
it went from 20ms to 130ms for 100 calls wtf
16gb ram and a 4cpu db
rustic nova
I'd suggest to start caching then imo
jovial nexus
what does it mean when a shard is ready but the bot didnt restart?
signal summit
it went from 20ms to 130ms for 100 calls wtf
Yeah cache them in a guild settings cache instance, making a query for every messsge will block the db when necessary data to be entered.
Anyone knows what's the current Ratelimit for DMing a user or users globally ?
earnest phoenix
hi guys
how can i get number of members in a voice channel?
if i have channel id and guild id
i could get the snowflake of .members
summer torrent
members is not array

Yeah cache them in a guild settings cache instance, making a query for every mes...
well its not making query for every message, also these are update calls
and in the get call there are like 200k+ rows which i obv cant cache

can i know that my code is right or not for posting votes?
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(`mytoken`, { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'kristabisop' });
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
const webhook = new Discord.WebhookClient("806564380589293568" , "xEuuucsqFPdJ5JsOTONgGzGP-sHmSCaqdY_gBc8TNAVse11C8H3-TO-QwlTVvIpV3oi5")
webhook.send(`<@!${vote.user}>, Just voted the Order It!! \n\nThanks for you great support mate :)`)

it should work yes?

fluid basin
brazen violet
ok
brazen violet
which other example?
i only see the autoposting example and webhook
fluid basin
yes, the autoposting one
brazen violet
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.middleware(), (req, res) => {
// req.vote is your vote object e.g
console.log(req.vote.user) // 221221226561929217
})
I dont use express so what should i put in app?
earnest phoenix
you need to use it
webhooks are reverse APIs, top.gg makes a request to your ip/domain instead of you making a request to their domain
fluid basin
oh oops misread what you need
lol maintaining a WS server costs more than just making http requests
brazen violet
umm
earnest phoenix
yes
fluid basin
bruh the CPU still needs to make heartbeat
lets say there is 10k bots connected
every min or so
it needs to send out 10k pings to the connected clients
earnest phoenix
i'm aware
it's not as tasking as you think it is
if not gameOver: mark = "" if turn = ctx.author: if turn = player1: mark = "🇽" elif turn = player2: mark = "🅾️"
got an error :-
if turn = ctx.author: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
fluid basin
thats true, ask veld/team ppl then
earnest phoenix
compare that to people who are actively making REST requests
a ws is just another type of protocol
in both cases you still need to have a listener
earnest phoenix
= =/= ==
fluid basin
` if not gameOver:
mark = ""
if turn = ctx.author:
...
^
brazen violet
i use glitch for hosting so what is my ip address?
fluid basin
brazen violet
thx
fluid basin
this could've been easily avoided if top.gg just hosted a WS server
how about you make one to forward webhooks to WS 😎
earnest phoenix
ironic, i thought about making that like half a year ago
just a simple WSS server
earnest phoenix
K
brazen violet
btw can we use discord.js client and express at once?
earnest phoenix
yes
your app is not just your discord client nor is it just your express server
your app is an... app
you choose what to do inside of it
fluid basin
then you didn't set it up properly
make sure the port and ip is correct
and the auth password is the same as the one you put in your bot edit page
brazen violet
i have
i make app and make it listen to 5000 and i got the ip and puted in bot edit page

any solutions?
brazen violet

How can I connect to mariaDB in java (maven)
mariaDB shares the same protocol as mySQL, so any mySQL library for java should work

The correct url is not an ip
also they dont allow you to use port 5000

quartz kindle
deleting from the cache requires the module path, not the module itself
also, deleting it after requiring it is dumb
and dont use .map if youre not returning anything
grizzled raven
i hate using forEach just because it looks dumb (and because it returns undefined and thats boring) 
i'm just

but... if you're not returning anything anyway, you want to return undefined lmao

deleting from the cache requires the module path, not the module itself
do you mean where the commands are allocated?
forest drift
message.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => console.log(role.name + " | " + role.id))
im trying to list all roles in a server which ive managed to do above, but now i want to make it so itll only list the roles thats name starts with args(0)
tired panther
```js
message.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => console.log(role.name + " | " + ...
use .find method
quartz kindle
do you mean where the commands are allocated?
the require cache stores data using the full module path
like this
crimson vapor
I would have done if(role.name.startsWith(args[0]))
quartz kindle
require.cache = {
"C:/users/USERNAME/desktop/bot/node_modules/somemodule/index.js": module
}
i tried adding an if function but it outputed a ton of errors
quartz kindle
so to access or delete it from the cache, you need to obtain the full module path
for this you can use require.resolve("module") to get the full path, then run:
delete require.cache[FULL PATH OF THE FILE]
forest drift
message.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => if(role.name.startsWith(args[0])){console.log(role.name + " | " + role.id)})
would that work?
forest drift
k
cinder patio
it won't
crimson vapor
shh
forest drift
SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'if'
crimson vapor
how do you think you should fix this?
forest drift
by finding an alternative to 'if'?
crimson vapor
thats 1 solution
forest drift
or by having almost no understanding on the whole forEach function and its rules
crimson vapor
message.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => { if(role.name.startsWith(args[0])) {console.log(role.name + " | " + role.id)} })```
or
```js
message.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => role.name.startsWith(args[0]) ? console.log(role.name + " | " + role.id) : null)
oooooooooooooooh ok
i remember seeing something like thgat in a document for .forEach but it made it a lot harder to understand
crimson vapor
foreach takes a function
role => role.name.startsWith(args[0]) ? console.log(role.name + " | " + role.id) : null is a function
so is role => { if(role.name.startsWith(args[0])) {console.log(role.name + " | " + role.id)} }
cinder patio
for each just loops over an array / map and calls the provided function on each iteration
you can achieve the same thing with a for loop
or any loop
earnest phoenix
Do you not get a full traceback when an error occurs?
bro my command not working and no error comes 😭
forest drift
ok
cinder patio
(it's even recommended to use a loop over forEach)
crimson vapor
bro my command not working and no error comes 😭

slender thistle
Sorry for you

how do you think you should figure out if the command is running

im trying to get those brawlers array fully
eager grail
how to get each brawlers data and its properties
misty sigil
<APIresponse>.brawlers is an array
cinder patio
by using Array.map or just looping through it
misty sigil
you can loop through it with .forEach / for
eager grail
smone says to use this
const res = await fetch('https://api.brawlstars.com/v1/players/%23P2U0GVJP', { method: 'get', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer <my token>' } });
const data = await res.json();
async data.brawlers.forEach((b) => {
console.log(b);

That async shouldn't be there, other than that, sure
eager grail
if i remove tht async, it says await is valid only with async
lyric mountain
how to get each brawlers data and its properties
just think of a JSON being a folder structure
eager grail
ok....
lyric mountain
. gets a file/folder
so let's say name of the first brawler
it'd be brawlers[0]/name if it was a folder
so brawlers[0].name
forest drift
```js
message.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => { if(role.name.startsWith(args[0...
ok so if i swap .startsWith with .includes, it works if im looking for the role, but when i try list every member it only works if i use .startsWith
eager grail
ohh ok, then?
lyric mountain
now you just need to iterate over the contents of brawlers folder, because it doesn't have a single file but many unnamed folders
lyric mountain
yeah, that ^

yes. make the bot leave the servers
spiral crag
how do you do that
umbral zealot
guild.leave() in discord.js
spiral crag
and how do you choose what server to leave
umbral zealot
You'll have to figure out how to find the servers owned by the same people and leave them, that's... not trivial and cannot be answered with one line of code
something like "search guilds for duplicate owners, sort them by how many servers one owner has, leave the extra ones" or something like htat
spiral crag

if the servers are by different people then is it still inorganic growth if my bot randomly grows
umbral zealot
inorganic growth = one or more server owners have your bot in multiple of their servers
that's all it means.
the other is suspicious growth, which basically translates to "oh you poor thing you got to 100 because you're on top.gg, well, deal with no growth for a few weeks"
spiral crag
@umbral zealot how many servers per person does not look fishy
umbral zealot
Discord has not and will not release the exact numbers on that
otherwise it would be too easy to game and get around
spiral crag
@umbral zealot the thing is i was spreading word about my bot and one of them really liked it and made a bunch of servers
