Depends what game you mean.

rose warren Depends what game you mean.

Basically something that is purely carried out through exchanges in dms with bot that may involve a dm every few seconds - one minute?

#

I believe he said you can't spam someone with dms or smth, but i'm not sure.

rose warren Jul 19, 2021, 5:00 AM

It's fine to send DMs to a user if the user has initiated the command.

Spamming the api isn't allowed.

Every minute isn't API abuse

yeah also about rate limited, is it increased rate for bots? and can a bot only get ratelimited in one channel? in other words, how does bot ratelimiting work :D

earnest phoenix Jul 19, 2021, 5:04 AM

I think discord ratelimits you on the api itself, so ti doesn't matter what channel its in.

Ratelimits cover the api, if you spam it you get ratelimited and have to wait.

hello hello :3
so i have this part on my bot that asks for a user's reply within a few seconds and if it's not replied, it will end. the problem that i'm having now is that: how do i put in delays between messages inside that await messages portion because using settimeout did not seem to work as it clashes with my await messages' timer D:

this is what i have and the "delay here" is where i want to put a slight delay between each message.

msg.channel.awaitMessages(m => m.author.id == taggedUser.id, {max: 1, time: 30000}).then(collected => {
msg.channel.send(`One message`)
//delay here
msg.channel.send(`One message`)
//delay here
msg.channel.send(`One message`)
//delay here
msg.channel.send(`One message`)
}).catch(collected => {
                msg.channel.send('No reply after 30 seconds, duel is cancelled!');
                });

devout vapor hello hello :3 so i have this part on my bot that asks for a user's reply within...

i have this function use for cases like this...
i put await before your msg.channel. etc because they return promises (if i am not mistaken) so it's a good idea to await them, so if they throw an error try/catch will catch it (instead of missing it). I think you can skip the await before msg.channel.send() safely if you are using .catch() .. if that is your preferred style

function sleep(sec) {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, sec*1000));
}

// your code...

try {
  await msg.channel.send(`One message`)
  //delay here
  await sleep(5);
  await  msg.channel.send(`One message`)
  //delay here
  await sleep(5);
  await  msg.channel.send(`One message`)
  //delay here
  await sleep(5);

tbf, you could even check every second and the database wouldn't even notice it

#

also, if what you want is precision (and not having to setInterval everywhere), you could use some cron library

vivid fulcrum Jul 19, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

if you want to remove stress from your database

#

pull all reminders at once into memory once your application boots up

#

and either setTimeout for every single one

#

or have an interval checking your memory every few seconds for the due ones

vivid fulcrum Jul 19, 2021, 12:12 PM

vivid fulcrum and either setTimeout for every single one

this is what i practically do when i need to handle warns expiring etc.

When I hover on the settings button, it extends and gets to a button tray.

Currently it looks ugly, bc it is over a text. So my Idea would be to decrease the opacity of the black element, when the button tray is extended.

I know that this is possible with html Event listeners, but I dont know if you can change the props of two css element on one action.

lyric mountain https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_hover.asp here's what you want

I am stuck 🤣

I cant change the properties of .shard-button.log on the hover event of .shard-button.ressource just with css, I need an example lol

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

you have to put the hover on .shard-button

#

you cant change siblings, only children

#

actually

#

try this

#

.shard-button:hover.log {

}

tired panther Jul 19, 2021, 4:29 PM

#

quartz kindle ```css .shard-button:hover.log { } ```

but this changes the prop , when I hover on this button, but I want to change the prop of this button, when hovering on the resource button

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 4:38 PM

#

you cant

#

if hover is on .ressource then if can only affect things that either have the same class, or are children of this element

How you write your HTML depends on what you want to do with CSS. They're pretty dependent on each other. Figure out how to achieve what you want to do in CSS and that will tell you how to write your HTML.

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

hey, how can i get discord ids from an array in a if statement so they can run a command?

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

.includes()

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

and i put the array name there?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

tulip ledge ?

you will have to check how SelectMenu is structured and convert it to something discord.js accepts

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

tawny fern and i put the array name there?

<array>.includes(id)

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

Like this?

#

if(message.author.id === ids.includes(id)){

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

no

#

includes already returns a boolean

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

so nothing in the includes()?

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

oh my

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

ids.includes(YOUR ID HERE)

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/includes

Array.prototype.includes() - JavaScript | MDN

The includes() method determines whether an array
includes a certain value among its entries, returning true or
false as appropriate.

#

can't be more clear

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

I want to Let everyone in that array be able to have access to that command

#

agh

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

...just use that

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

what we told you does exactly that lol

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

So i have to put mine in the include()?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

...

#

you put the id you want to check

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

bruh moment

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

like one of the ids in the array?

#

and it only lets that person do the command?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

dude

#

which id are you trying to check if it exists in the array?

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

every id

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

no

#

when the user runs a command

#

which id are you gonna check?

#

in that specific moment

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

Like the id of the user

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

exactly

#

and how do you get the id of the user?

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

message.author.id?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

yes

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

im dumb

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

thats the id you're checking

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

if(message.author.id === ids.includes(message.author.id)){

#

Like this?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

....

#

no

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

what then?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

array.includes() already returns true or false

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

so, then nothing inside includes?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

...

#

ids.includes() returns true or false

#

what do you use true or false for?

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

to check if its in there?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

lol

#

think a bit pls

#

if(true) {
  // do something
} else {
  // do something else
}

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

<array>.includes(something) = if <array> contains value <something>

#

tbf that's the most self-explaining function in js

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

But will it let the others than the id in the include run the command?

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

you are not thinking are you?

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

No,bc im tired

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

then go sleep and come back tomorrow

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

no.

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

lol

boreal iron Jul 19, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

okeh

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

you said this if(message.author.id === ids.includes(message.author.id)){
do you understand what this line is doing?

#

if message author id equals the result of ids.includes message author id

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

the message.author.id in the includes?

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

const arr = ['duck', 'goose', 'fox', 'dog']

arr.includes('duck'); // TRUE - the array contains 'duck'
arr.includes('horse'); // FALSE - the array doesn't contain 'horse'

#

cmon, can't get more simple

boreal iron Jul 19, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

quartz kindle lol

You aren’t trying hard enough yet oldEyes

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

ids.includes(message.author.id) returns either true, or false

#

therefore

#

message.author.id === ids.includes(message.author.id)
becomes
message.author.id === true or false

#

message.author.id is an ID, it is never true nor false

#

so that if will always fail

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

so i will do client.user.id?

#

wait

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

jesus christ

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

no

#

that will get the id to the bot

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

do you know how you use parenthesis in math? the things inside parenthesis are done first?

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

Ik

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

so imagine this

boreal iron Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

if(ids.includes(message.author.id))
{
Yes
}

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

if(message.author.id === (ids.includes(message.author.id)))

boreal iron Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

Sorry can’t watch this

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

the result of ids.includes is done first

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

we need this as a sticker here

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

AGHH

#

Just tell me the answer

boreal iron Jul 19, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

array.includes(find)
will check IF find is an item of array and if yes, then return true, if not then false

#

The answer has been posted already.

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

lyric mountain ```js const arr = ['duck', 'goose', 'fox', 'dog'] arr.includes('duck'); // TRUE...

^

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

and only that person will be able to run the command yea, that dosent help

#

I need everyone in the array to be able

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

tbf, if you can't figure this out you need to learn more about coding in general

#

4 examples

#

a single boolean-returning function

#

single param

boreal iron Jul 19, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

tawny fern I need everyone in the array to be able

Yeah everyone in the array can run the command, because EVERYBODY = message.author.id at the moment he’s calling the command

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

tawny fern and only that person will be able to run the command yea, that dosent help

look, when the code runs, its executed in steps, one step at a time. here are the steps that your code will go through: ```js
const array = ["745639745938754938"];

if(message.author.id === array.includes(message.author.id))
if(message.author.id === array.includes("745639745938754938"))
if(message.author.id === true)
if("745639745938754938" === true)
if(false)

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

tawny fern and only that person will be able to run the command yea, that dosent help

you're thinking as if (id is in array) //do this

#

think the opposite

#

why check if the id is in the array

#

if you can check if the array contains the id

#

message.author.id is the id of the author of the message

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

        if(ids.includes(message.author.id)){
            message.channel.send(embed)
        
            timeout.timeout('sendmessage', 3000, function() {
                message.channel.send(embed2)
                message.channel.send(gifs[random])
            })
        } else {
            const embed3 = new MessageEmbed()
            .setTitle(':warning: ERROR :warning:')
            .setDescription(':warning: You dont have permission to do that command :warning:')

#

this dosent work

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

it'll change depending on who used the command

#

so, ids.includes(message.author.id) will check if whoever used the command is in the array

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

tawny fern ```j if(ids.includes(message.author.id)){ message.channel.se...

that is correct, finally. if it doesnt work, you have a problem elsewhere

tawny fern Jul 19, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

it just sends the else function

#

const ids = ["691468323874930779", "808039521328693268"]

#

this is the ids

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

can you show the full code for that command?

boreal iron Jul 19, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

And you’re sure the message author id = one of the IDs in your array?

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

the second id is his own, I checked

How do you get someones roles from a server?

.addField(`Roles`, `${author.roles.cache.map(r => `${r}`).join(' , '), true}`)

Like this?

#

Since i have been getting this error

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

why ".map(r => `${r}`)"?

#

also, author is an user, users cant have roles

#

you need to get the member instance

quartz kindle Jul 19, 2021, 7:25 PM

also why the true? that basically erases the entire result, so your map join is useless

you probably need to define the types for the array

latent heron Jul 19, 2021, 8:02 PM

constructing and building are distinctively two different things

building means that something at runtime would be assembled

for this context, consider both to be the same

will you really play "mr. politically correct" role?

#

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //do stuff
  }

  public Main(String a, int b) {
    //run during object creation
  }
}

#

if I do Main m = new Main(new String[]{"a", "b", "c"}) it won't work

#

I need to do Main m = new Main("a", 12)

because the latter is a constructor, the former has literally nothing to do with Main aside from being able to be called with Main.main

you should really try newer versions, I'm sure your rant will be calmed

java 8 is the worst possible way to introduce someone to java

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 8:41 PM

#

tbf, there's little to no breaking changes introduced from jdk 8 to jdk 10

#

I mean, surely many methods will be flagged as deprecate

#

I know because I try to keep my bot updated with the latest java

#

went from 8 to 10, then to 11, then to 15 until I finally settled (for now) at 16

I must say I can't really go back to 8

so better not update it

there is, however, openjdk

proven lantern Jul 19, 2021, 8:46 PM

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 8:46 PM

no problem then

proven lantern Jul 19, 2021, 8:46 PM

#

im guessing that is causing most the problems

#

it's using more resources

lyric mountain Jul 19, 2021, 8:47 PM

#

there are 3 major JDKs: oracle, hotspot and openj9

#

oracle is the paid shit

#

hotspot is openjdk's

#

and openj9 is eclipse's (ibm)

#

imo openj9 is the most optimized for long running tasks, it does seem to use a lot less memory

couple that with groovy and you have all the stuff you could ask for in a lang

just some more sophisticated things are harder

gusty bone Jul 19, 2021, 11:22 PM

Then I'd say try to rewrite, but do a LOT of beta testing to make sure that your bot cant crash if someone uses a command incorrectly

Because crashes are annoying

Then put it on your main bot

Your money isn’t wasted, you just aren’t putting in the minimal effort required to debug simple issues.

#

and 90% of people who start coding with discord bots, they don't know anything from nodejs or even python

#

even they don't google it for solution and crash courses

#

I think one of the MOST important skills is knowing how to read error messages properly

#

Knowing what the error is and where it’s coming from is the fundamental basis of solving that error

debugging is 50% of coding...

wheat mesa Jul 20, 2021, 7:01 AM

#

And it seems like a lot of people lack in such a skill

runic depot Jul 20, 2021, 7:02 AM

#

wheat mesa And it seems like a lot of people lack in such a skill

And they want us to debug it...

wheat mesa Jul 20, 2021, 7:02 AM

#

Exactly

#

I can understand if you have tried to solve an error and/or you’re confused because the error is vague/uncommon, but not even trying to solve it and asking someone else for help isn’t going to get you very far.

#

I’m guilty of doing that before, but I’ve learned from those experiences and now apply those skills whenever I get an error in my code.

runic depot Jul 20, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

they must do exercises for achieving debugging skill

#

like

*

***
****```

#

these exercises are very helpful
