[timber fractal]

thx for the help

[raw pawn]

how u make bot stay online : P

i so stoopid

[waxen bough]

it stays online. Unless it's not logged in or it throws an error

[dusky sundial]

Have you ever gotten your bot online?

[raw pawn]

yea but then after like 30 seconds it went offline :I

[waxen bough]

it didn't say anything in the log?

[raw pawn]

uhh i dont think so?

wait in the script or in discord?

[waxen bough]

in the script

[pale vessel]

in the java script

[earnest phoenix]

how can i check if a client is till active?

[raw pawn]

uh i dont think so?

[quartz kindle]

how did you run your bot?

what did you do to start it?

[raw pawn]

it says logged in as my bots name :-:

[quartz kindle]

and after that it doesnt say anything anymore?

[raw pawn]

nope

[quartz kindle]

scroll up to the previous logged in message

and show what ot says after that

[tacit sequoia]

Repl

[waxen bough]

afaik if the red > appear in the end of console it means it's stopped

[raw pawn]

what does it mean if its stopped?

OH ITS ONLINE NOW

[waxen bough]

ohh

[raw pawn]

Uh

Thanks ig?

oh wait nvm its back to being offline

wait

imma try something

[quartz kindle]

it has to say something, it cant just do offline and not say anything

[raw pawn]

Its back online now lols

[waxen bough]

if repl.it doesn't detect activity in your bot they terminate its process

[quartz kindle]

thats why scroll up until you see what happened

the terminal, not the code

scroll up the terminal until the previous logged in message

to see what happened to the previous attempt

[waxen bough]

wait hold on did you use client.login()?

[raw pawn]

uh i somehow fixed it?

[ornate bramble]

Good morning
I need some help
I'm creating a bot but I can't add commands to it
If anyone can help me
I will be so pleased :emoji_39-14:

[raw pawn]

ooh wait

uh nvm sorry ^^

[tacit sequoia]

[ornate bramble]

Was you talking to me 😅

[raw pawn]

yea lol

[ornate bramble]

Okay thanks anyway

[raw pawn]

OK

hOW CAN U USE COMMANDS EVEN IF REPL.IT IS NOT OPEN??? TvT

[waxen bough]

well also if your online editor isn't open

and also it seems your bot won't do much other than replying to Hi

if you're the only one coding your bot then it's much better doing it offline

[earnest phoenix]

dude
this discord websocket heartbeat shit is so complicated
ive been trying to figure it out for half an hour and this is what i have rn: https://paste.mod.gg/abirezoluk.js

[pale vessel]

where is your break

[earnest phoenix]

oh f

[tacit sequoia]

Lol i can't with that shit

[earnest phoenix]

ikr

[tacit sequoia]

Brain would explode

[median moss]

guys, I put this in my code to not allow people using it with bots, but it is still working.

if (user === user.bot) return message.reply("You can't rep a bot.")```

[rare oasis]

Hello
Can someone tell me what the alternative to discord.js that use less ram ? (not Eris 🙂 )

[earnest phoenix]

oh and also i cant use await in a constructor so i had to do this bullshit to get the correct gateway url from discord:

this.ws = new WebSocket((() => {
            let url = "wss://gateway.discord.gg";
            (async () => (await (await fetch("https://discord.com/api/v8/gateway")).json()).url)().then(_url => _url != "wss://gateway.discord.gg" ? (() => {this.ws.close(); this.ws = new WebSocket(_url)})() : null);
            return url;
        })() + "?v=6&encoding=json");

[earnest phoenix]

read your if condition again, but slowly

you are checking if the user object is equal to user.bot

you should check if user.bot is true

[median moss]

so

if (user.bot) return message.reply("You can't rep a bot.")```
?

[earnest phoenix]

binary

[crimson vapor]

@rare oasis detritus or discord-rose

[rare oasis]

ohhh yeah it was detritus !

thanks bud

[crimson vapor]

detritus confusing af to me

same with eris tho ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

try it and see

[median moss]

ok

[rare oasis]

what about discord-rose ?

😛

[pale vessel]

berry crying rn

[tacit sequoia]

[median moss]

it worked, thx @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

erwin has left the chat

[earnest phoenix]

yw

[crimson vapor]

true

[cinder patio]

You don't need a websocket connection in order to make an interactions client

[tacit sequoia]

Eris is .... different

[crimson vapor]

@pale vessel rate code bro https://github.com/Million900o/example-rose

[tacit sequoia]

Than what I'm used to with Discord.js anyway

[earnest phoenix]

weebsocket is weebsocket

[pale vessel]

on phone rn

sad

[crimson vapor]

oh

[raw pawn]

guys what does it mean if ur bot doesnt work when the programing tab is closed and only works when its open? :I

[pale vessel]

you just need a webhook server

[cinder patio]

a webhook server is gonna use up less resources too

[earnest phoenix]

rly?

[cinder patio]

mhm. Only downside is that you don't get any info on guilds and stuff like that when you first connect

[raw pawn]

?

[cinder patio]

but you can always just make a request

[earnest phoenix]

ive already spent so much time on this shit, dont wanna rewrite

[cinder patio]

You'll only have to replace the websocket connection with an express server

or koa or fastify or whatever

Even better, you can just provide the middleware

let the user create the server

[earnest phoenix]

ok so this is what i have till now:
https://paste.mod.gg/ibabajanew.js
have i done a good job or did i f up

[cinder patio]

 let url = "wss://gateway.discord.gg";
        (async () => (await (await fetch("https://discord.com/api/v8/gateway")).json()).url)().then(_url => _url != "wss://gateway.discord.gg" ? (() => {
            this.ws.close();
            this.ws = new WebSocket(_url)
        })() : null);
        return url;
    })() + "?v=6&encoding=json");

This is... something

looks very unnecessary to me

[crimson vapor]

just use the correct ws url in the first place, no?

[cinder patio]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

discord says you need to get a correct gateway url from their api (even tho it's the exact same shit everytime)

and i cant use await in the constructor

and if i use .then on the promise typescript will yell at me that public ws has no initializer

[pale vessel]

then make an async method

[earnest phoenix]

thats... exactly what i did

[crimson vapor]

method not function

[cinder patio]

public ws!: ... is make TS stop yelling

[earnest phoenix]

ty

[crimson vapor]

class Something () {
  constructor() {
    // some code
  }

  public async somethingElse () {
    // more code
  }
}```

no

huh

[vivid fulcrum]

you can have a static method (which you can make async) that acts as an initializer

[vivid fulcrum]

cosnt something = await Something.createAsync();

[crimson vapor]

fuck

no ()

right

whatever idc

[vivid fulcrum]

const

i hate mobile

[crimson vapor]

honestly same

[earnest phoenix]

ight how bout this:

public ws!: WebSocket;
constructor() {
    // ...
    this._setupWebSocket();

}

async _setupWebSocket() {
    let url = await (await fetch("https://discord.com/api/v8/gateway").json());
    this.ws = new WebSocket(url);
    this.ws.addEventListener("message", this._handleMessage);
}

[vivid fulcrum]

you're swallowing errors that way

best approach is the static async initializer

[earnest phoenix]

hm

ok

[earnest phoenix]

there's an await in that line

[vivid fulcrum]

correct

[earnest phoenix]

i could just put .catch on this._setupWebSocket();

[vivid fulcrum]

classes that need to do async work in the constructor should be initialized in an async context

[earnest phoenix]

do you intialize discordjs clients in an async context

[vivid fulcrum]

djs doesn't do what you do in the ctor afaik

[earnest phoenix]

my code doesnt even work lmao

error: TS2339 [ERROR]: Property 'json' does not exist on type 'Promise<Response>'.
        let url = await (await fetch("https://discord.com/api/v8/gateway").json());

[vivid fulcrum]

bc you're calling json directly on the result of fetch

not on the result of its awaiter

[waxen bough]

haha use another parentheses

why do you use 2 await

[vivid fulcrum]

aaand i was right, what you do in the ctor, djs does in the connect method of the websocket manager

[earnest phoenix]

async _setupWebSocket() {
        let resp = await fetch("https://discord.com/api/v8/gateway");
        let { url } = await resp.json();
        this.ws = new WebSocket(url);

        this.ws.addEventListener("message", this._handleMessage);
    }

[crimson vapor]

is that why clients have a .login() function rather than just logging in when its created?

[vivid fulcrum]

no

[crimson vapor]

o

[earnest phoenix]

o

[vivid fulcrum]

that would go against all sane OOP conventions

[earnest phoenix]

um

error: Uncaught TypeError: this._heartbeat is not a function
                setInterval(_ => this._heartbeat(), this.heartbeat_interval);

but it is defined there

[crimson vapor]

bind

[earnest phoenix]

wdym

[crimson vapor]

bind the function

[cinder patio]

this.ws.addEventListener("message", this._handleMessage); <--- here

[earnest phoenix]

o

wtf

thread 'main' panicked

rest of the error:

'Error 'WebSocket protocol error: Sending after closing is not allowed' contains boxed error of unknown type:
  Protocol("Sending after closing is not allowed")', cli/errors.rs:35:7
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

[crimson vapor]

setInterval?

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

wasnt checking for ready state

but how the fuck is the function fired when it's not ready

[smoky herald]

Seems like the issue was too many reactions, I stopped getting the abort errors after disabling some reaction heavy commands and reaction autoclear

[earnest phoenix]

i still cant find the thing causing the error

[lament rock]

You should be routing your reaction handler through 1 reaction add event instead of 1 per

[cinder patio]

we can't either

[vivid fulcrum]

okay i was booting up my pc, but i wanted to show you why you should have a static async initializer

[earnest phoenix]

async _setupWebSocket() {
    let resp = await fetch("https://discord.com/api/v8/gateway");
    let {
        url
    } = await resp.json();
    this.ws = new WebSocket(url);

    this.ws.onopen = () => this.ws.addEventListener("message", this._handleMessage.bind(this));
    this.ws.onclose = console.log;
}

_handleMessage(event: MessageEvent) {
    let data = JSON.parse(event.data);
    switch (data.op) {
        // Hello
        case 10:
            this.heartbeat_interval = data.heartbeat_interval;
            setInterval(_ => this._heartbeat(), this.heartbeat_interval);
            break;
            // Heartbeat ACK
        case 11:
            this.got_last_heartbeat_ack = true;
            break;
    }
}

Both of these functions are only fired when the websocket sends a message i.e. only after the socket is open

[vivid fulcrum]

here's the reference code; https://paste.mod.gg/xulefulite.js
as you can see, the error is being swallowed where the async method is called implicitly, even if you added a catch there, you would still be allowing the creation of the class, even though a vital part of the class failed to initialize

the class which has an explicit async constructor boils the error to top level of the code, letting the user know that it had failed

[earnest phoenix]

IM GAY

i still dont understand what you mean by static async initializer

[vivid fulcrum]

look at the reference code

[quartz kindle]

gay

[vivid fulcrum]

oh wait

oop

i'm lacking a return this

https://paste.mod.gg/egoqasuzev.js

there

[earnest phoenix]

uhh

i don get it

[quartz kindle]

you can also return the promise from the constructor afaik

and do await new Class()

[vivid fulcrum]

that works

[earnest phoenix]

so...

make a static async method in the class and use await Class().Method();

[vagrant prairie]

yo

``` anyone familiar with this?

i keep getting it

[earnest phoenix]

@vagrant prairie tl;dr the mongodb server said go away i dont like you and close the connection

[vagrant prairie]

i see

lemme look into my code

found it

[vivid fulcrum]

you can directly return a promise in the constructor

like tim said

[vagrant prairie]

mongoose.connection.close() comes multiple times

[vivid fulcrum]

so i'm guessing something like

constructor() {
  return (async () => {
      //async code and shit

      return this;
  });
}

[quartz kindle]

return new Promise also works

or make it a method and return this.method()

[vivid fulcrum]

damn there are so many interesting design patterns you can do with js

[earnest phoenix]

rewrote my entire code

https://paste.mod.gg/ecazawafos.js

[vagrant prairie]

good idea

[vivid fulcrum]

you're still not doing a proper pattern in the constructor

you're just catching the error thrown in the promise and... throwing it again

it won't error out the class

it will error the promise

[vagrant prairie]

https://ghostbin.com/paste/BtLvS/yes

pwd : yes

i keep getting topology error

[earnest phoenix]

how bout this:

constructor(options) {
  super();
  return (async () => {
     return await this.initialize();
  }).bind(this)();
}

[quartz kindle]

what are you trying to do?

[earnest phoenix]

i dont know

[quartz kindle]

i figured

[earnest phoenix]

resolve the promise and return the resolved value?

[quartz kindle]

return the promise itself

you cant resolve it inside the constructor

[earnest phoenix]

k

[vivid fulcrum]

also

[quartz kindle]

constructors are sync only

[vivid fulcrum]

you need to return this; in the initialize method

[quartz kindle]

you have to return the promise and have the user resolve it

[earnest phoenix]

and if somebody wants to create an instance of the class theyll do await new InteractionsClient()

[earnest phoenix]

deno has top level await :)

[earnest phoenix]

ye

[vivid fulcrum]

um

[vagrant prairie]

does anyne have mongo experience

[vivid fulcrum]

top level await isn't correlated to ctors being sync

[earnest phoenix]

it's to resolve the promise returned from the constructor

[vivid fulcrum]

oh right

[earnest phoenix]

let client: InteractionsClient = await (new InteractionsClient(options));

[vivid fulcrum]

b o i

[earnest phoenix]

do i need the extra paranthesis

[vivid fulcrum]

do you wanna get slapped

also no

[earnest phoenix]

y e s

[exotic willow]

can someone help me with mongoose?

[vagrant prairie]

ive been getting the

error : Mongo topology error
code : https://ghostbin.com/paste/BtLvS/yes

[earnest phoenix]

i love mongooses they're epic animals

also make for good databases

[vivid fulcrum]

mongeese

[waxen bough]

why not use for(.. in ..)

[earnest phoenix]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quartz kindle]

geese are assholes tho

[exotic willow]

are you people trying to make a slash commands handler?

[vivid fulcrum]

yeah that's what i was implying

[earnest phoenix]

i am

[vivid fulcrum]

forEach is horrid and slow

[earnest phoenix]

i actually thought for loops were slower

pls forgive me

[exotic willow]

are you using the api or the shitty npm packages

[earnest phoenix]

im making a shitty package

and it's not on npm

it doesnt even use node

it uses it's younger bro deno

[vivid fulcrum]

tldr it's because forEach needs to recomputate the callback function for every element and then fire that function which adds overhead and just really doesn't scale well at all

[vagrant prairie]

when u keep getting ignored

[quartz kindle]

forEach = for that creates functions

[exotic willow]

I love forEach loops, and the speed doesn't matter if the context is Discord bots

[vivid fulcrum]

i kind of agree?

[waxen bough]

it doesn't?

[vivid fulcrum]

sure thing, what's slowing you down are HTTP requests, not anything else in the code

you should still optimize your code though

especially for something like this, looping through commands etc

and especially in a library

the end user expects well performing code

[exotic willow]

the differences would be in miliseconds, or 2 seconds max

[earnest phoenix]

TS2740 [ERROR]: Type 'Promise<void>' is missing the following properties from type 'InteractionsClient<options>': commands, endpoint, ws, s, and 29 more.
        return this.initialize(options);

i sometimes want to slap whoever made typescript

i have 69 errors
i have // @ts-ignore

gasp I have working code!

[vivid fulcrum]

i'm guessing you don't return this; in the intialize method?

[vagrant prairie]

can anyone help me (sad blob emoji)

[exotic willow]

just dont use ts

;)

[quartz kindle]

^

[crimson vapor]

deno js moment

[quartz kindle]

ts bad

[exotic willow]

exactly

[waxen bough]

😦

[exotic willow]

it makes simple complex stuff 9000 lines

[quartz kindle]

sorry i dont use mongo

[vivid fulcrum]

it's a way to fool proof code

[crimson vapor]

its so nice just catching issues before they come up tho

[vivid fulcrum]

those 2 hours you'd spend trying to find a bug in a production website because you forgot that a variable is actually a number... would be 2 minutes with typescript

[quartz kindle]

yesterday i wrote a 200 line typing declaration and jsdoc for a single function

[exotic willow]

js is unfool proof if you give it to the right people

[crimson vapor]

what

[vivid fulcrum]

so no one

[crimson vapor]

thats a dumb thing to say

[exotic willow]

sorry I meant js is unfool proof if you give it to the wrong people

[earnest phoenix]

i want to but i cant

[crimson vapor]

c++ is unfool proof if you give it to the wrong people

[earnest phoenix]

vanilla js = bs
ts = bs

[exotic willow]

does deno not have js

[vivid fulcrum]

everyone is bound to make a mistake of forgetting what type their variable is

[earnest phoenix]

it does

[vivid fulcrum]

typescript screams at you

[exotic willow]

not me

[earnest phoenix]

but i want to use types and interfaces

[exotic willow]

there's your answer??

[pale vessel]

how ignorant

[vivid fulcrum]

clearly you haven't worked on a large web/node project then

[exotic willow]

I made a web dashboard with complete css

[pale vessel]

😱

[vivid fulcrum]

yes, i hack with notepad

[exotic willow]

woah

can you teach me??

[vivid fulcrum]

just keep on plugging out the cables to your computer

if it doesn't work, scream at it

[quartz kindle]

no matter how good you are, you still make dumb mistakes

[vivid fulcrum]

if that doesn't work, punch your monitor

[quartz kindle]

youll just find them faster if youre good

[exotic willow]

thus I use Quokka.js, Wallaby.js and webstorm

[waxen bough]

eslint's screaming at tsc's output

[quartz kindle]

i tried quokka

didnt like it that much

[exotic willow]

npm uninstall eslint

that code hurts my eyes

I actually hate eslint

[waxen bough]

then nothing's gonna stop me from writing . this . code ( "ahha" ) ;

[exotic willow]

especially on vsc since it shows it's dumb errors in the terminal

what

ok

[waxen bough]

how do i exclude a folder

[quartz kindle]

eslit pls exclude "folder" kthxbai owo

[earnest phoenix]

oh

reason: "Rate limited."

[opal plank]

i reported you to the competent authorities

[quartz kindle]

thank

[vivid fulcrum]

eswint pws excwude "fowdew" kthxbai OwO

[quartz kindle]

wait

dont you mean

repawted?

[waxen bough]

it won't listen

[earnest phoenix]

thanks discord for the rate limits

[exotic willow]

repowted

[earnest phoenix]

makes new botum

[exotic willow]

can someone help me with mongoose thou

[quartz kindle]

dont use mongoose

:^)

[exotic willow]

yes use mongoose

[quartz kindle]

aw

nW

[exotic willow]

shitty sql is shitty

[vivid fulcrum]

orms

[quartz kindle]

sqlite bae

[exotic willow]

everything that is sql based can go die in a hole

[waxen bough]

y

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[exotic willow]

its shit

its dog shit

[quartz kindle]

if its shit then why os it so fast

and so good

[exotic willow]

no

[quartz kindle]

and so ez

[exotic willow]

its not so good

its dog shit

[opal plank]

how so

[exotic willow]

mongoose is ez

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[exotic willow]

and fast

and online

[opal plank]

its shit

[exotic willow]

and cloud based

and better in every way

[opal plank]

is not an argument my dude

[quartz kindle]

mongoose is a clusterfuck

[opal plank]

define every way

[exotic willow]

sql is a clusterfuck

[quartz kindle]

xD

[opal plank]

everything you've been saying so far is vague

[vivid fulcrum]

but

you don't have to write sql at all

ORMs exist

[quartz kindle]

i mean

[vivid fulcrum]

best of both worlds

[opal plank]

also that

[quartz kindle]

mongoose itself is an orm

you cant really comoare sql dbs to mongoose

have ti comoare them yo mongodb

[opal plank]

bUt TiM, SqL iS ShIT

[vivid fulcrum]

also the fact that sql is a language

[quartz kindle]

ur shit

[opal plank]

wow

toxic

[quartz kindle]

:^)

i played league yesterday

made me toxic

[opal plank]

ah that explains

[vivid fulcrum]

yOu CHaNgED 😔

[opal plank]

my toxicity is usually brought fourth due to poor TS coding

[earnest phoenix]

@Mr Master#1250

[vivid fulcrum]

literally same, i start ripping my hair out when something in react has wrong types

and then i gotta do global augmentation

[opal plank]

ikr!

[vivid fulcrum]

i don't like

[opal plank]

the worst is having to slap @obtuse osprey-ignore every fucking where cuz the types shipped with it are wrong

[crimson vapor]

LOL

[opal plank]

well, random ping

[quartz kindle]

xD

[opal plank]

ur fault for being named @ ts

[crimson vapor]

I love when that happens

[opal plank]

[crimson vapor]

yea hoenstly

[vivid fulcrum]

i think that person got pinged like 10 times in the past two days

here

just because of ts ignore

lmfao

[opal plank]

gonna switch my nickname to @ gmail

lets see how many pings we get

i dont think it parses it anymore

[e-mail]

nope

wasnt there something else that parsed into mentions?

i recall having another thing apart from ts-ignore that made quite a few accidental pings

but thats beside the point

[crimson vapor]

I made @obtuse osprey-something my github alt name and I got spammed with emails

its funny

[earnest phoenix]

@obtuse osprey-ignore

[crimson vapor]

ill show when I get into the email

[opal plank]

its insanely infurating haivng to ts-ignore wrong interfaces

[crimson vapor]

LOL

[opal plank]

i dont like modifying other people's libs

[raw pawn]

Guysss

[crimson vapor]

pr it

[raw pawn]

i finally did it

[cinder patio]

yeah submit a pr or an issue

[opal plank]

i'll pr you to go watch the anime

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix -ignore

[opal plank]

cant be arsed to pr in all honesty

[raw pawn]

My bot is now in PERFECT condition

no more problems UwU

[vivid fulcrum]

did you delete all code?

[opal plank]

[raw pawn]

nope

[opal plank]

shouldnt you?

[waxen bough]

gud 4 u

[raw pawn]

idk

[raw pawn]

yay ty

[vivid fulcrum]

cant have bugs when there's no code in the first place :wesmart:

[opal plank]

fuck, its 9am, but goddamn i need a beer, literally woke up to 21 errors in prod due to a bad parser in someones lib

[crimson vapor]

bruh

its 9 am bro

don't do it

[opal plank]

gotta love it

age is just a number, time is just daylight

erwin - 2021

[crimson vapor]

Hotel? Shivaco

[unreal estuary]

age is a word

[earnest phoenix]

age is int

[dusky mason]

so i made a globalchat command

and i just have a question

i made it so you have to mention the channel that you want

[crude moat]

hey
my bot was working totally fine till yesterday
now it stopped responding
i rebooted it
and its still off
(no changes made in the code)

[dusky mason]

but i don't want it like that

how can i make it so that it automatically adds the channel to json file?

right now you have to do p!gcstart #channel

but i want them to do p!gcstart

and it adds their channel

here is the code of that section

        guild_id = ctx.message.guild.id
        channel_id = int(channel.strip('<>#'))
        # channel_id = ctx.channel.id
        with open('global_chat.json', 'r') as file:```

i tried to do it already in the #channel_id part

(commented part)

[lusty quest]

just save the message channel id

[dusky mason]

so instead of ctx.channel.id

i do

uhh

im checking api

lol

[vivid fulcrum]

pls

stop using json as your db

[dusky mason]

oh @lusty quest

ctx.message.channel.id

lemme try that

[lusty quest]

sounds right

but like cry said, dont use json as a db, will give you more headache than setting up a proper database when it starts to corrupt

[dusky mason]

oh i mean

it's just to store 1 id

then delete it

[crimson vapor]

is it stateless?

[dusky mason]

kind of

all it does is store

the channel id

and when they run the stop command

it deletes it

(and since not the most people use my bot) it's normally empty

[lyric mountain]

the code:

import System;
 
Console.log("Hello World");

[vivid fulcrum]

can't you just store that in a list then

[dusky mason]

because it's for different servers

[vivid fulcrum]

dictionaries

[dusky mason]

json is easier

also

[vivid fulcrum]

what

lol

[dusky mason]

the ctx.message.channel.id

didn't work

unless it's channel_id

[crimson vapor]

say its easier when it corrupts

[dusky mason]

oh yeah a file that says

{

}

[lyric mountain]

skydiving without parachute is also easier than learning how parachutes work

[vivid fulcrum]

it doesn't matter what the file contents are

you seem to not understand how r/w works

[cinder patio]

python has a built-in persistent storage

[dusky mason]

i mean if it "gets" corrupted there isn't much to replace

[vivid fulcrum]

you're also slowing down your code by a significant margin

[crimson vapor]

you have a really good point here tbh

[dusky mason]

alright im not here for you guys to diss my code

im here for help

[vivid fulcrum]

lol

[lyric mountain]

that's...actual help

[dusky mason]

i didn't ask for that portion

[vivid fulcrum]

sucks to be you i guess

[dusky mason]

then ill go ask for help somewhere else

[lyric mountain]

they'll say the same if you say you're using json-db

[dusky mason]

at least they'll bother to help

[lyric mountain]

we are helping tho

[copper cradle]

just let their db corrupt, once it corrupts they'll regret everything

[earnest phoenix]

a.startbot

[crimson vapor]

@opal plank

[earnest phoenix]

a.startboz

[copper cradle]

what are you even trying to do

[opal plank]

you should ban/remove from the project whoever that person is

[waxen bough]

Can my bot still be approved when I include this warning

wait ...at least 18 years of age correction

[umbral zealot]

You need to lock NSFW content so it only gets sent to NSFW typed channels

[waxen bough]

yes it does check it

[umbral zealot]

then your warning isn't relevant in any way since Discord already has the barrier to entry of clicking the "Yes I'm 18 let me in" button

[olive rune]

it has to be only nsfw channels, not if the user enabled nsfw for themselves :p

[waxen bough]

i gave admins option to disable it completely

[umbral zealot]

So, your setting and warning isn't necessary, though it is cool I guess

[cinder patio]

Why are you constructing strings in this way

[umbral zealot]

if someone didn't want nsfw content they could just... not create NSFW channels 😛

[waxen bough]

yeah i didn't think about that.

[waxen bough]

haha im just used to

i usually create tables and that's the only clean way I know of

[cinder patio]

`text...\n...text`

That's not clean? 😕

[crimson vapor]

its random people cuz the name of the profile

[umbral zealot]

Or just, y'know, ```js
const ErrorMessage = Hey you didn't turn on NSFW, do ${prefix}config nsfw on to do it. Also you agree I'm going to send you boobs, because that's how NSFW works, kid.;

because template literals support line returns 😄

[waxen bough]

ohh

[near stratus]

@waxen bough Remember you can't mention that your bot has nsfw content in the bot description

[waxen bough]

i didn't say i would mention it. I take a look at declined bots

and i know i can't mention nsfw feature there

[near stratus]

then just do

if(message.channel.nsfw){return(false);}

and you're good to go

[waxen bough]

wait what

[crimson vapor]

why would you return without a response?

its fine to have nsfw in help menu and such

just not on the site

[summer torrent]

return (false)

[waxen bough]

haha when i was a newbie i do that

[near stratus]

I used to do return(0) in C++ and JS is c-like and 0 = false so I thought it'd be return(false) in JS

[summer torrent]

nope it is return false

you don't need brackets

[near stratus]

ummm..........

brackets work so anyway

let's move on

[summer torrent]

how

[near stratus]

welcome to JS (which I didn't learn)

let's move on

[summer torrent]

oh wait

[waxen bough]

hhaa

[summer torrent]

this is for ASI

[near stratus]

what's ASI ?

[summer torrent]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/return#automatic_semicolon_insertion

[near stratus]

@summer torrent it works without brackets too btw

[summer torrent]

yes

[near stratus]

but brackets look cooler (otherwise it'd look like python {without any brackets})

[cinder patio]

You can wrap any expression (or a list of expressions) in brackets, that's why they work

I don't really like it cause it looks like it's calling a function, I only do it when I'm returning a react component

[tired panther]

what does thoose error means
I wanted to log out a file import (require) and wanted to log it out and it gives me this

[earnest phoenix]

what's the difference between git fetch and git pull

[opal plank]

you should ban all of the ones who used ts-nocheck in that repo

[crimson vapor]

ban them from what

I don't understand

[opal plank]

yes

[crimson vapor]

ok

[summer torrent]

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/git-fetch-vs-pull

[waxen bough]

what's ts-nocheck

[opal plank]

it basically skips checking on that file

[summer torrent]

tells compiler to ignore iirc

[opal plank]

ts-ignore is for the next line to ignore

[waxen bough]

well it defeats ts purpose

[opal plank]

thats precisely why i said this

[earnest phoenix]

well ts defeats my sanity purpose

[waxen bough]

hahahehihohu

[opal plank]

your sanity defeats the purpose of your coding life

[craggy hill]

can anyone help me in node.js language for event that executes on variable change

@craggy hill use getters/setters

in your case, setters

[craggy hill]

nice pfp, I mean can you give a small example?

its not zero two...

its ME!ME!ME!

[neat beacon]

Is there a problem by using those bot hosting sites instead of the whole coding thing? I'm a lazy person ;w; Also my bot needs to have admin permission, and this isnt because i want, the hosting website makes the bot request that, is it a problem? cause if it is i think i shall search for other bot hosting or try to make my own bot from 0.

[copper cradle]

jokes on you, Idek what that means

[crimson vapor]

@opal plank :loli_dance: moment

[fierce ether]

can you extend MessageEmbed?

[copper cradle]

ofc

you can extend any class you want

[fierce ether]

i know how to extend message but how do you extend message embed?

MessageEmbed.prototype = async function?

[copper cradle]

class X extends Y

[lament rock]

modifying the prototype chain manually

[near stratus]

Are those bot hosting sites bad ?
YES
Before you learn how to code ask yourself why do you need a bot for.
If you need a bot for your personal server or maybe to flex you can use those services.
But if you're actually series about making a bot (commercially) then DON'T USE EM
Take some time, learn to code then make one yourself. (Coding is not like rocket science or something, You'll only need 3 braincells to learn how to code)

[copper cradle]

coding's pretty easy actually

u just gotta be willing to learn

once u get the hang out of it you'll be coding bots in no time

[opal plank]

i'll bite you

[copper cradle]

then you'll abandon them for years

and never come back

and turn into a white name bc some mf stole your co-owner's account and deleted the bot from top.gg

totally not me

No, not links

to whom it may concern: the docs on top.gg for posting stats has the wrong response example ... --> https://docs.top.gg/api/bot/#example-response-3

[dusky sundial]

what do you mean?

[deep robin]

Thank you, it might help me if I read it.

[marble kraken]

the response for posting stats POST /bots/:bot_id/stats ... is not { "voted": 1 } is it? 😉

[dusky sundial]

But the example response is for /bots/:bot_id/check?userId=:user_id

[marble kraken]

exactly .. its wrong

[dusky sundial]

?

[marble kraken]

example response is squarely in the Post Stats subheading

[dusky sundial]

Ah, I see what you mean

It's under the wrong title

You can report the issue on github if you want

https://github.com/top-gg/issues

[earnest phoenix]

How will I be able to check if the entire message contains a word from the getResult variable (which is an array).

I have use : if(getResult.includes(message.content)){ but its only for the first word

how can i do please

[tacit sequoia]

Could use a for loop

for (var i = 0; i < getResult.length; i++){

if (getResult[i].includes(message.content)){
//CODE TO RUN
}
}

Did that on my phone so caution, lol

[cinder patio]

you can also use some

getResult.some(r => str.includes(r))

more like

Wait

getResult.includes(message.content) should already do the job, kinda?

You'll have to split the message.content so you don't detect stuff like h3ueh3uheworduwhd3uhe3

const wordsFromMsg = message.content.split(" ");
getResult.some(w => wordsFromMsg.includes(w));

[earnest phoenix]

i wanna if this button is clicked transfer me to next page(i have a second.html file)

[vivid fulcrum]

can i introduce you to react

[umbral zealot]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/location

[earnest phoenix]

wut

ok

[umbral zealot]

Yeah but just remember it's always good to have the basics ^_^

understanding why react is fucking awesome requires for someone to put in the time

[lament rock]

does includes accept a fn?

[frigid mountain]

const Discord = require('discord.js')

module.exports = { 
    name: '42ball', 
    description: '42ball <mesage>', 
    run(message, args){ 
    const sayMessage = args.join(" ")
        message.channel.send(randomMessage);
    }
}
const messages = [
    "Yes you big dummy",
    "No you sicko path",
    "mmm... maybe?",
    "Do what you have to do",
    "Yep",
    "Nope",
    "Are you transgender?",
 
];

const randomMessage = messages[Math.floor(Math.random() * messages.length)]; 

was suppose to send random messages but it sends the same ?

[umbral zealot]

put it in the function, not outside, so it selects a differetn random message every time

[earnest phoenix]

document.getElementById("btn6").onclick = function() {
    location.assign("https://main.html")
    location = "http://second.html";
}```

like this?

[umbral zealot]

that would be redirecting to a domain called main.html

[pale vessel]

why do you need js for that

[earnest phoenix]

lol

ill put relative oath

[umbral zealot]

well if you want to know if that's correct, you know what to do, right?

https://tryitands.ee/

[earnest phoenix]

didi it

it workd

[umbral zealot]

https://anidiots.guide/first-bot/using-embeds-in-messages

[frigid mountain]

I know how to make embeds

[umbral zealot]

Ok so just take the variable and put it in the embed?

if you know how to use a variable and you know how to make an embed, you know how to put 2 + 2 together

[sand walrus]

guys, how i send a code or errors ??

in this chat

[cinder patio]

oop I meant some

[earnest phoenix]

code

3 "your laguage" code here 3

[umbral zealot]

```js
your code here
```

[earnest phoenix]

yeah

and error

error

[sand walrus]

                           ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'hasPermission' of null```

[umbral zealot]

Message.member is null because your member isn't cached

Fetch them

[opal totem]

Have been toying with d.js and sms / tel links, apparently discord doesn't like to hyperlink sms:some number here or tel:some number here anyone got a workaround for that one.

[sand walrus]

i use this fo clear message but "spawn" this error...

[umbral zealot]

Ok, so, fetch the member

message.guild.members.fetch(message.author.id)

it returns a promise so you have to await it

[cinder patio]

message.member will be null if it's a system message, no?

[umbral zealot]

yeah but this is in a command so a system message's never gonna trigger it

[cinder patio]

ah

[umbral zealot]

unless Discord started sending system messages in guild channels saying !clear 100

[sand walrus]

i send here the code that i used but the text in " " are italian...

        if(!message.member.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES")){
            message.channel.send("non hai il permesso!")
            return;
        }
    
        if(!message.guild.me.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES")){
            message.channel.send("Non ho i permessi per farlo!")
            return;
        }
    
        var clear_count = message.content.slice(7);
        clear_count = parseInt(clear_count);
    
        if(!clear_count){
            message.channel.send("Inserisci un numero valido!")
            return;
        }
    
        if(clear_count > 250){
            message.channel.send("Massimo 250")
            return;
        }
    
        message.channel.bulkDelete(clear_count, true);
        message.channel.send("Ho eliminato " + clear_count + " messaggi")
        .then(msg =>{
            msg.delete({timeout:2500})
        });
    };```

[pale vessel]

return moment

[umbral zealot]

Are you ignoring my solution or do you not understand it?

[pale vessel]

also, maximum is 100, not 250

if you want more than 100, use loops

[umbral zealot]

Gotta love when I give a straight answer and I get ignored.

[sand walrus]

ok i try but i have the previous error...

[umbral zealot]

So you're saying you tried adding what I said here and you get the SAME error? #development message

because it doesn't show in that new code you just pasted

[craggy pine]

I'm not doing anything against TOS with this question but asking since we are clustering...

Can a bot DM a user if the user doesn't share a server with the bot?

Cluster 1 has shards 1, 2 ,3
Cluster 2 has shards 4, 5, 6

Can a bot still technically be able to dm a user from cluster 1 to a user in cluster 2? Idk if that makes sense.

[umbral zealot]

no, the bot cannot DM a user it does not share a server with.

[craggy pine]

Aight good to know ty.

[umbral zealot]

However

ALL DMs are handled by Shard 0

And if your bot is in the same server it doesn't matter if they're not in the same shard

[craggy pine]

oh?

[cinder patio]

Actuallyyyyyyy

[lost heath]

hello. does someone know how i can make a node.js file send the command npm start in a specific folder?

[cinder patio]

sending a DM is a HTTP request

shards don't matter

[umbral zealot]

oh right sending wouldn't matter. that's true

but receiving is shard 0

[cinder patio]

shard 0 only receives DMs though

[pale vessel]

🤓

[cinder patio]

look into the exec function

[lost heath]

hmm. okay

[cinder patio]

exported by the child_process module

[earnest phoenix]

is it possible a bot one to get into it?

[cinder patio]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

...

[cinder patio]

I know it's possible I can't give you any more info because I've never tried doing it myself

[frigid mountain]

const Discord = require('discord.js')

module.exports = { 
    name: 'quiz', 
    description: '42ball <mesage>', 
    run(message, args){ 
    const sayMessage = args.join(" ")
const messages = [
    "What is the most common colour of toilet paper", 
    "Henry VIII introduced which tax in England in 1535?",
    "The average person does what thirteen times a day?",
    "Who invented the word vomit?",
    "What is Scooby Doo’s full name?", 
    "**True or false:** You can sneeze in your sleep",
    "who was the first black president of United states",
 
];

const randomMessage = messages[Math.floor(Math.random() * messages.length)]; 
   
       message.channel.send(randomMessage)
    }
}

How do I make it so when the bot sends a random quiz after 15 seconds it sends the answer for the quiz

[lost heath]

okay yea. im gonna need more than that. i have no idea what to do

but like... once the bot is ready.
i need it to go into the folder ./myapp and run the command npm start

[cinder patio]

Instead of storing only the questions in the array, store objects containing the question and the answer:

const questions = [
   {question: "...", answer: "..."},
   ...
]

And then use a setTimeout which sends the answer to the channel

Make sure to cancel the timeout when the user answers

[cosmic forum]

Anyone know if it's possible to make <a href="link">text</a> POST instead of GET.

[vivid fulcrum]

only via js

[cosmic forum]

ah ok

[vivid fulcrum]

depending on what you want, you can maybe try html5 forms

[cinder patio]

cd path ; npm start should do it

pass that to the exec function, replace path with the actual path and you're done

[lost heath]

i still have no idea how the exec function works

[cinder patio]

have you tried reading the docs

[lost heath]

yes

i understood nothing

[cinder patio]

So you understand absolutely nothing?

[lost heath]

basically

[cinder patio]

Nothing from the examples, too?

[lost heath]

i looked at it. looked back at my code. and had no idea what to do

[cinder patio]

you literally just call it with the command you want to run

and you're done

[lost heath]

i still have no idea what im looking at or where to put it

[cinder patio]

That sounds like a you problem 😕

[lost heath]

obviously

[earnest phoenix]

Well, anyone knows where I can learn to develop bots in python?

[pale vessel]

do you not know how to use a console?

[earnest phoenix]

Someone answer this

[cinder patio]

You should start with a general python guide / tutorial

and then move to bot development, it'll make your life a lot easier

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uQrJ0TkZlc&ab_channel=ProgrammingwithMosh

That is if you don't know python of course

if you do then look up a bot tutorial

[sand walrus]

ok, but this code where paste and substitute??#development message

i don't understand it

[earnest phoenix]

I see... Thanks...

[frigid mountain]

const Discord = require('discord.js')

const questions = [
    {questions: "What is the most common colour of toilet paper", answer: "white"},
    {questions: "Henry VIII introduced which tax in England in 1535?", answer: "beards"},
    {questions: "The average person does what thirteen times a day?", answer: "Laugh"},
    {questions: "Who invented the word vomit?", answer: "Shakespeare"},
    {questions: "What is Scooby Doo’s full name?", answer: "Scoobert Doo"}, 
    {questions: "**True or false:** You can sneeze in your sleep", answer: "No you cant"},

];

const randomMessage = messages[Math.floor(Math.random() * messages.length)]; 
   
       message.channel.send(randomMessage)
    }
}

how to I use the setTimeout ?

[cinder patio]

const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
   message.channel.send("...");
}, 60000); // 1 minute

For example

and you do clearTimeout(timeout) to prevent it from it getting executed

Also message.channel.send(randomMessage.question) and questions.length

[earnest phoenix]

Help, the user counter of my botinfo command does not count all the users I have, what do I do?

This is my code

[cinder patio]

Not all users get cached

[copper cradle]

use the built in embed class tho

[crimson vapor]

users is a fucked up metric imo

since not all members of guilds are "users"

[copper cradle]

yeah, and most people don't care about the user count of your bot anyway

[cinder patio]

You know what would be a cool metric, average users per guild

[crimson vapor]

something like taco shack can say they have x users because you need to create a shack

[cinder patio]

do that instead

[copper cradle]

I'd rather know the command usage stats rather than my users

[copper cradle]

I've never used it

[crimson vapor]

then you aren't a user

[frigid mountain]

const Discord = require('discord.js')

    {questions: "Henry VIII introduced which tax in England in 1535?", answer: "beards"},
    {questions: "The average person does what thirteen times a day?", answer: "Laugh"},
    {questions: "Who invented the word vomit?", answer: "Shakespeare"},

];

const randomMessage = question[Math.floor(Math.random() * questions.length)]; 
const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
   message.channel.send(answer);
}, 15); // 1 minute
   
       message.channel.send(randomMessage)
       
    }
}

question is undefined

[cinder patio]

It's questions

you've defined the array as questions

Also the second parameter of the setTimeout function is the time in milliseconds, not seconds

Also, you want to use awaitMessages to await the user's response and check if the answer is correct or not

And if the user has answered, cancel the timeout

[tulip ledge]

is there a way to add a "copy to clipboard" in a discord embed?

[cinder patio]

it's .includes

[prime glacier]

if(!methods.includes(msg,content))?

like this

?

[cinder patio]

yes

[prime glacier]

ok thanks

[frigid mountain]

how do I use the await message?

[cinder patio]

Read the docs

[boreal iron]

finally it’s done

[earnest phoenix]

const moment = require("moment")

module.exports = (client, err) => {
    
    client.channels.cache.get("825012560138076232").send("Date de l'erreur : `"+moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a')+"`\n\nErreur : `"+err+"`");

}

All my events work but my error event doesn’t work, why?

[vivid fulcrum]

you shouldn't log errors to discord anyway

[neat beacon]

Alright i have 3 questions ;w; , so i should remove my bot from the host site and start making tests? Also, is there a way to remove a submitted bot? Is it true that if your bot gets denied you get banned from inviting other ones?

tests with python language

[frigid mountain]

I'm so freaking confused now

[neat beacon]

[cinder patio]

if your bot gets denied you just have to wait a few weeks to submit it again

[neat beacon]

What if i submit other bot instead of the denied one?

Same cooldown?

[cinder patio]

I dunno

ask a reviewer

probably still a cooldown though

[neat beacon]

k

[earnest phoenix]

if it gets denied many times, you'll most likely be banned from adding bots

[ancient nova]

does anyone know why an on error event might not work

[umbral zealot]

maybe it's not getting any error? lol

[thin apex]

anyone know how to record audio from a voice channel in discord.js?

[main trench]

Does anyone know of a way to log categories I've tried message.category.id and a few other variations of that but no luck. I've looked on the docs as well but haven't found anything that looks like what I'm after

[pale vessel]

What category

[main trench]

Channel categories

[pale vessel]

then message.channel?

[main trench]

I'm trying to log their id's using a command

[pale vessel]

message is message

not a channel

[main trench]

Doing channel.category.id just says channel is undefined

[pale vessel]

no, message.channel

where are you getting the channel from

[main trench]

Nowhere I'm trying to set a category for the channel to be made in using a command

[pale vessel]

how did you create the channel

you can provide an option to set the category id

[main trench]

thats how the channel is being made

and thats how the category is being logged

im wondering if there is a more ideal way of logging it

[pale vessel]

what are you stuck on?

for ideal way, create the channel along with the category id

you can reduce your requests that way

[umbral zealot]

I wouldn't advise using the username to create a channel

[main trench]

tag wasnt quite what i wanted thats why i use username

[umbral zealot]

cuz, taking a username at random, what do you think the channel name's gonna be on 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘅𝗶 𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘀 ?

because that ain't alphanumeric, which is the only thing that can go in channel names

[main trench]

hmm what would you suggest in place of username?

[umbral zealot]

ID, usually

[pale vessel]

id

[umbral zealot]

hold up one damned second since when do channels accept unicode

[main trench]

interesting

[blissful coral]

So I have a array

[quartz kindle]

so you have an array

[umbral zealot]

yeah actually that's real interesting for unicode-like usernames, but... like what about that weird owo?

I did not expect that channel name

[blissful coral]

chosenroles = [];
for() {
chosenroles.push({label: role.name, value: role.id })
} //my loop stuff

How can I search for a role ID inside of that array?

[umbral zealot]

find()

find(role => role.value === 'some id')

[main trench]

i guess i could make a category then a channel and parent it that way. Not what im looking for but should stop any errors

[blissful coral]

so if I am doing a filter

guild.roles.cache.filter(r => r.id !== guild.id && chosenroles.find(role => role.value !== r.id))

[umbral zealot]

yeah probably!

or actually in this case maybe .some instead of .find - same code, jsut different method

so you get a boolean

[quartz kindle]

you want to filter by what?

roles that are chosen or roles that are not chosen?

[blissful coral]

Ok ok

So

[quartz kindle]

try running the bot in your own pc

try running a barebones version of it

try making a request to /gateway/bot with your bot's token in the authorization header and see what response it gives

ye

or even something like reqbin.com

[blissful coral]

Anyone here by chance used SelectPure before?

[quartz kindle]

do custom authorization

and do it like this: Bot 7n38723n97y29c3y579237nc92735c

so you're cloudflare banned

what do the headers say?

show them all

theres nothing sensitive there

huh, theres no retry-after?

what was the value?

[fierce ether]

TypeError: this.client.on is not a function could mean what?

[quartz kindle]

weird

try contacting discord support then

[umbral zealot]

would mean this.client isn't actually a discord client

oh wait this is the actual discord app?

no confusing different things here

[earnest phoenix]

someone can help me ? (dm me pls)

[umbral zealot]

this.client clearly isn't a discord client

[umbral zealot]

no just ask your question here we'll help you here

no one wants to be responsible for single-handedly resolving all your issues in DMs, man.

[quartz kindle]

(unless they're paid for it)

[umbral zealot]

yeah but no one can afford my rates 😛

[quartz kindle]

many can, they just dont want to

[earnest phoenix]

I need the bot to send a message to a different member every 30 sec

[quartz kindle]

theres rich kids everywhere

:^)

what message, which members, which discord library

[earnest phoenix]

client.guilds.cache.forEach(guild => {
           guild.members.cache.forEach(member => { 
            setTimeout(() =>  { 
            member.send("test")
        }, 30000)
        });
           });

[quartz kindle]

nonono

[umbral zealot]

to don't do that

[quartz kindle]

that will send thousands of messages at once

[umbral zealot]

that's spamming everyone

[earnest phoenix]

yes :/

[umbral zealot]

use setInterval and choose a member at random from the cache in that interval

thjough if you're gonna do that make sure they have a way to opt-out

[quartz kindle]

use a recursive function or a for loop with async/await

[earnest phoenix]

[quartz kindle]

// recursive function
function bla() {
  doseomthing()
  setTimeout(() => {
    bla();
  }, 30000)
}

// for loop with async/await
for(let member of guild.members.cache.values()) {
  doseomthing();
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 30000))
}

tell them you have been cloudflare banned but there is no retry-after information about when the ban will be lifted

[earnest phoenix]

ow ok
