then double or smth for each rarity

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 10:18 PM

#

Would look something like this:

Array(...).fill("naga");

... is the number of times naga should be present in the array. You can determine that by the rarity @earnest phoenix

versed gulch Dec 24, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

Follow up to Klay

if (chss.rarity == 'Common') chr = Array(19).fill('nada');
if (chss.rarity == 'Rare') chr = Array(30).fill('nada');
if (chss.rarity == 'Epic') chr = Array(46).fill('nada');
if (chss.rarity == 'Legendary' || chss.rarity == 'Champion') chr = Array(103).fill('nada');
chr.push('chr');

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 10:26 PM

#

An even simpler solution would be to assign each rarity a number then make one call to Array fill

winter pasture Dec 24, 2021, 10:37 PM

#

So if it picks nada they don't get it, if it is chr they get it. There will never be any other it wants to pick from?
Would something like this work?

const isWin = (type) => {
  switch (type) {
    case 'COMMON':
      return Math.random() >= 0.5
    case 'RARE':
      return Math.random() >= 0.6
    case 'EPIC':
      return Math.random() >= 0.7
    case 'LEGENDARY':
      return Math.random() >= 0.8
    case 'CHAMPION':
      return Math.random() >= 0.9
    default:
      return false
  }
}

Would need the chances tweaked tho, in this example COMMON would have a 50% win rate.
Just something from the top of my head, could probably be done better.

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:38 PM

#

sudden geyser Would look something like this: ```js Array(...).fill("naga"); ``` `...` is the ...

thx

#

let array = ["chr"]

//AFTER FILLING
["chr", "nada","nada","nada","nada","nada","nada","nada","nada","nada"]
``` so there will be more chance of getting "chr", right? Or the order isn't important?

#

or the fill works different?

Is it possible to select 100 random users with a certain role in a discord server and put them in a txt file and send it? I feel like there's some sort of JS function for it but I can't find any thonk

wheat mesa Dec 24, 2021, 10:42 PM

#

if you're selecting by random index, then order doesn't matter

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 10:42 PM

#

Maybe Math.Random an array

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

wheat mesa if you're selecting by random index, then order doesn't matter

index? i use the math.random ```js
chr[Math.floor(Math.random() * chr.length)]

wheat mesa Dec 24, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

Yes

#

You're selecting an index of the array randomly

#

So it doesn't matter where it is

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

ok

wheat mesa Dec 24, 2021, 10:44 PM

#

I don't see why you wouldn't just select the character if Math.random() is lower than a certain number, and select nada if it's not though

#

Like ```js
if(Math.random() < 0.1) {
return "chr";
} else {
return "nada";
}

#

probably a lot less computationally expensive but idk

winter pasture Dec 24, 2021, 10:45 PM

#

Sound extremely inefficient filling an array just to then randomly pick out a value
Try this: #development message

Pass in the rarity type, COMMON , RARE etc, and it will return true if a person won, false if they lost.

what they won?

winter pasture Dec 24, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

Well, chr or whatever that means

#

console.log(isWin("COMMON") ? "chr" : "nada")

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

they will be winning chr randomly

wheat mesa Dec 24, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

if you wanted to be fancy and avoid errors you could use an enum 😉

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

they haven't already won it

wheat mesa Dec 24, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

the point is that you don't have to fill an array and select a random index

#

it accomplishes the same thing

#

but with less work

winter pasture Dec 24, 2021, 10:49 PM

#

wheat mesa if you wanted to be fancy and avoid errors you could use an enum 😉

Didn’t want to put too much on the table yet xD

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 10:49 PM

sterile lantern Is it possible to select 100 random users with a certain role in a discord serve...

You want a random sample of users from a collection. The easiest way would be to assign each user a random number and compare it against 0.5.

users.sort((_) => Math.random() > 0.5);

Then you can just grab a subset of the array, like with .slice.

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 10:50 PM

#

I mean

#

I just want to do

#

message.guild.members.fetch() (which gets all the IDs)

and then just get 100 of them

#

theres abt 300 ppl in the server

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

Do you still want to filter by their role ID and get a random sample of them, or something else.

#

Fetching is what you just wrote.

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 10:52 PM

#

So basically just fetch the members, make sure they have a certain role, then pick them

#

About 300 people have that role

#

let guildMembers = await message.guild.members.fetch()

How would I get just the user ID from here

#

user.id i assume

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:53 PM

#

const isWin = (type) => {
  switch (type) {
    case 'COMMON':
      return Math.random() >= 0.5
    case 'RARE':
      return Math.random() >= 0.6
    case 'EPIC':
      return Math.random() >= 0.7
    case 'LEGENDARY':
      return Math.random() >= 0.8
    case 'CHAMPION':
      return Math.random() >= 0.9
    default:
      return false
  }
}
``` finally I understood it

#

You could just use map.

guildMembers.map((member) => member.id);

Oh yeah, ty

winter pasture Dec 24, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

earnest phoenix ```js const isWin = (type) => { switch (type) { case 'COMMON': retur...

np, The higher the number, the max is 1(it will never actually return 1), the less likely it is to return true

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

ok

#

so 0.1 would be like hard to get?

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

If you also want to filter by if they have a role, just use filter.

guildMembers.filter((member) => member.roles.has(...));

And you can compose that with map and sort like I showed above.

winter pasture Dec 24, 2021, 10:55 PM

#

0.5% is 50% win rate. So 0.1 they would win 90% of the time

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:56 PM

earnest phoenix Dec 24, 2021, 10:58 PM

#

how do i check if the card is common, rare, etc..? before i used "card.rarity === "Common"

#

okk

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 10:59 PM

#

sterile lantern Hmm, so how would I only make it get 100 of those only

You can use first(100) on the collection.

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:00 PM

#

ohh ok ty

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 11:00 PM

#

Of course, most of this stuff is documented (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/collection/main/class/Collection), so you can manipulate the collection however you need it.

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:01 PM

#

Hmm member.roles.has doesn't work

#

Neither does member.roles.cache.has

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 11:02 PM

#

That's weird. It should.

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:03 PM

#

For reference I'm still using Discord.js 12.5.3 bc im lazy ;-;

#

It's an old bot so I didn't bother to rewrite most of it

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 11:03 PM

#

It should still work in that version.

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:04 PM

#

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 11:04 PM

#

Can you verify what member is.

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

guildMembers.filter((member)

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

Can you show more of your code

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

const g = guildMembers.filter((member) => member.roles.has("Verified"));```

sudden geyser Dec 24, 2021, 11:07 PM

#

Ah now I see

#

You said that member.roles.cache.has doesn't work, but that should be the solution.

#

And .has takes a snowflake/role ID

#

Not the name of the role

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:08 PM

#

Oh ic

#

Hmm it doesn't seem to work

#

Just prints []

#

Let me check my intents one secc

#

Yeah my intents are on

#

Weird

#

g.map((member) => member.id);

#

Would this work

#

After I filter out the members w/ the role, then I get their ID?

#

Because rn it doesn't write anything to the txt file

#

ah wait nvm got it

sterile lantern Dec 24, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

Okay so now i have a txt file of all the users like this

(1,2,3) etc

How can I make it so it adds a role for every user in the txt file

#

Im thinking of for x in the array something like that

pearl trail Dec 24, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

for (let userId of <that txt>.split(",")) {
// get the member first from userId, then add the role
}

pearl trail Dec 25, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

forEach do thing in the same time, but for loop, not. (if you use await)
example:
forEach
request 1, request 2, request 1 done, request 2 done
but for loop
request 1, request 1 done, request 2, request 2 done

#

CMIIW

#

also forEach will execute the code below it even the Promises is not yet resolved

wheat forum Dec 25, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

Hey, just got a question in my mind, looked into the python library of topgg(for sending guild count and these stuff), and if I'm not wrong, the bot sends the guild count, it means the bot also can send fake guild count to topgg servers right?

pearl trail Dec 25, 2021, 12:25 AM

#

pearl trail also forEach will execute the code below it even the Promises is not yet resolve...

this code is like forEach but it waits until all the promises resolved

Promise.all(<the text>.split(",").map(async id => /* add role here */))

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 1:13 AM

#

pearl trail forEach do thing in the same time, but for loop, not. (if you use await) example...

Adding to that, forEach is considerably more expensive than a normal for due to it not being as optimized during runtime

#

For smaller tasks it's fine, but for larger datasets or heavy processing you'll want to use normal for

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

royal pawn Can you give me full coding?

No, spoonfeeding is no good for ya. Besides, it's against the rule. The most I can do is give you directions. First off, take a look at https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time. It returns the UNIX timestamp in seconds as you can see, so you can just add up the user input which also in seconds to get the "giveaway end timestamp." Then just cast it to int to remove the floating point and format it to a string so it becomes <t:THE_TIMESTAMP:R>

how much storage do i get on sql

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 7:42 AM

And while mongo feels easier, you can equally mess everything up if u don't know what you're doing

The way you would do this really depends on the programming language you're using

Listen to the responses containing JSON input
Validate if it's a valid JSON and cast to JSON
Take the timestamp from the JSON input and convert it into an actual date instance
Use date/time functions to make the date instance into a human readable form

If you're using JavaScript:

Get JSON input
Validate and cast the JSON input by parsing using the JSON.parse() method
Convert the timestamp into a date instance using the global Date constructor
get the human readable form of the date instance using the <Date>.toTimeString() method

You can take the same approach in other programming languages based on the features they provide

You don't need the asterisk in that case

The command prefix could also be an iterable of strings indicating that multiple checks for the prefix should be used and the first one to match will be the invocation prefix.

I'm thinking about making a channel that is private and all the hook messages go there. Call it Hooks

Then a bot that reads each hook and translates it to a message and posts it into a public channel.

No need to verify cus every message will be JSON and same format

I'm not entirely sure how to get started

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:19 AM

earnest phoenix I'm thinking about making a channel that is private and all the hook messages go...

I see what you're trying to do

Listen to messages of that private channel with the bot (Make sure the bot has permissions to view and read the messages of that private channel)
Get the contents of the message and translate it the way I said in my previous message or with your own logic if you will
Then send the result to the said public channel(s)

Pretty simple and easy to implement

let chra = isWin(chss.rarity)

quartz kindle Dec 25, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

Math.random() gives you a random number between 0 and 1

#

including decimals

#

meaning it can be 0.000000001 for example

#

or 0.04816487263874

#

you are checking if your number is smaller or equal to Math.random()

#

meaning if your number is 0.5, then you have pretty much a 50% chance that Math.random() gives you a number smaller than that

#

because it can only generate numbers between 0 and 1

#

and 0.5 is right in the middle

#

if you give it 0.1, that means you only have a 10% change of getting a number smaller than that

#

because 0.0 to 0.1 is only 0.1, while from 0.1 to 1 there is 0.9 possibilities

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

oh

quartz kindle Dec 25, 2021, 2:21 PM

you can give it as many decimals you want

for example if your number is 0.001

what are the chances Math.random() gives you a number smaller than 0.001?

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

0.009?

quartz kindle Dec 25, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

no?

#

from 0.001 to 1 there are 999 possible numbers

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 2:22 PM

don't use 4 entries to save a bool

instead have something like flags_USERID and use bit flags

yo! i have a discord bot hosted on heroku currently, and the way i test the bot is by scaling the dynos down to 0, and then i can test locally. this makes the bot go down, though. is there a way to keep the production bot up while testing a different version locally?

wheat mesa Dec 25, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

You should create a new bot used for beta testing and push updates to your main bot when you’ve rolled out new features

#

And only host the beta bot locally, since it only needs to be up during testing

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 7:38 PM

production testing is the only real testing

ok

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:55 PM

my first guess is: you're using heroku + file-based db

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:55 PM

nope not heroku

but yeah file-based db

#

idk mongo

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:56 PM

then give more info

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:56 PM

#

the db is quick.db

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:56 PM

#

quick.db is backed by sqlite

#

definitely not mongo

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:56 PM

yeah

i meant to say "I don't know how to use mongo"

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:57 PM

...and why would I suggest mongo?

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:57 PM

#

why?

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:57 PM

#

quick.db is shit indeed, but any db will suffice

#

all it changes is how quick the bottleneck will come

#

but that's not the point

#

where is the bot running?

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:58 PM

#

replit

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:58 PM

#

you can't use file-based dbs on replit probably

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:58 PM

#

so you recommend me passing to mongo?

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:58 PM

#

mongo is file-based

#

and why such obsession with mongo?

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

idk

#

there is no obsession

#

i just thought mongo wasn't file-based

#

Mongoose topgg_codebase

#

The db works fine though

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

thing is

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

earnest phoenix Mongoose <a:topgg_codebase:782746686983766037>

yeah that

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

file-based dbs arent persisted on replit

#

so you'll always return to the earlier state of it upon restart

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

You can use MongoDB atlas

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 10:00 PM

earnest phoenix You can use MongoDB atlas

that'll work?

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 10:00 PM

anything outside of replit will work

ok

#

but i have no idea about replit, better get a vps

lyric mountain Dec 25, 2021, 10:01 PM

damn you could even use github as database holder

#

it'll yell at u due to constant pushes tho

#

but general rule is, you want to get a vps asap

#

it's not expensive, and will solve 99% of the issues you have

earnest phoenix Dec 25, 2021, 10:02 PM

earnest phoenix that'll work?

Yes but i dont like mongoose, You can find a better alternative on js or not use odm

You can create a UTC date object by passing the year/month/day/hour/minute (lol) to Date.UTC() and then setMinutes on the date object.

I would just use a library like moment (which they've stopped developing) and do the like 1 line solution

pale vessel Dec 26, 2021, 12:46 AM

You don't have to do that

Use new Date() + setUTCMinutes()

I really would suggest reading the djs guide from beginning to end before trying to move to v13

#

thats the guild you want non global commands to go to

#

for example if you want eval, you can have eval only show in one server.

#

I think its covered on that page

#

or the next one

#

(also you dont want global commands for testing, they can take an hour to update)

#

so I register all my commands once in a test server for development.

#

it can be

Is || not a thing?

#

Cause it only reads the first role.

#

djs v13

sudden geyser Dec 26, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

It's working as intended.

#

|| works by evaluating expressions from left to right

pale vessel Dec 26, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

Not as you intended though.

sudden geyser Dec 26, 2021, 1:48 AM

earnest phoenix Dec 26, 2021, 1:49 AM

o-o I wanted it to look if they have both roles

#

I also tried && but 🤷

#

or like one of the roles I mean*

sudden geyser Dec 26, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

You should check the general .has twice

earnest phoenix Dec 26, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

hm

sudden geyser Dec 26, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

e.g. ```js

#

if (interaction.member.roles.cache.has('847248675389702204') interation.member.roles.cache.has'896044829438533673')) {

#

ah

#

with the ||

#

alr

sudden geyser Dec 26, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

If you want to check if the member has both roles, you should use && instead of ||.

#

There are other methods of achieving this.

#

For example, instead of using .has(...), you could use .hasAll(...).

#

Which accepts an array of IDs.

#

Which would accomplish the && part.

Discord.py

Original

sudden geyser Dec 26, 2021, 3:59 AM

Then you should consider migrating to a fork like Nextcord or Pycord

Hmm

sudden geyser Dec 26, 2021, 3:59 AM

As they've probably added the permission

And added support for other stuff, like slash commands

Is there a way to play an audio buffer using lavacord?

quartz kindle Dec 26, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

probably yes

wheat mesa Dec 26, 2021, 4:22 AM

#

the problem being connection.play() expects a string as a parameter

#

so obviously I've gotta do it some other way

quartz kindle Dec 26, 2021, 4:23 AM

#

you have to check the source code and see what .play() does internally

#

somewhere in there is a function that plays audio from a stream

#

so you can call that function directly instead

wheat mesa Dec 26, 2021, 4:24 AM

#

agh

zenith knoll Dec 26, 2021, 4:33 AM

#

for sql should i store discord ids as varchar or BIGINT?

#

i feel like a type of int is better cause a id is a number

#

but id have to use bigint cause the numbers too large?

wheat mesa Dec 26, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

perhaps I should just not use lavacord since my only intention is to play mp3 files

quartz kindle Dec 26, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

zenith knoll for sql should i store discord ids as varchar or BIGINT?

if you're using a library that uses bigint ids, yes

#

if the library uses string ids, then you're gonna have to convert them back and forth all the time

#

which honestly isnt that bad

wheat mesa Dec 26, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

my brain is completely fried

#

I hate discord audio

#

My goal is to take an mp3 file as an attachment and play it in a vc which is proving to be much more difficult than I thought

wheat mesa Dec 26, 2021, 5:57 AM

#

I wonder if there’s a way to save the buffer of the attachment into memory without having to download the file through a request. I’m probably missing something here but I’m going to go to bed instead of doing more of this

quartz kindle Dec 26, 2021, 6:03 AM

#

i forgot lavalink is an audio server

#

meaning lavacord is just a client for lavalink, it does not actually play any audio

#

it only sends instructions for lavalink to do it

#

so you will need to either stream the audio buffer to lavalink somehow, or save it as a file and tell lavalink to play it

#

if you are on linux, you can write the audio files to /tmpfs

#

which is basically a ram disk, writing and reading on it should be as fast as ram

wheat mesa Dec 26, 2021, 6:28 AM

#

Yeah I think I’m going to move away from lavalink and just use my own stuff for this

#

Since I’m not by any means intending to do anything other than stream audio from a given mp3 file

#

If I was getting audio from YouTube or something like that then I’d use lavalink but I think it’s better to just throw together some spaghetti code and improve it over time

lyric mountain Dec 26, 2021, 6:52 AM

Any one have clue how I can wait for the request?

#

because it just return undefined

pale vessel Dec 26, 2021, 11:08 AM

if (this.token) return this.token; needs to be inside the callback

You need to make sure that the check is done after the token assignment

the the request in a function

earnest phoenix Dec 26, 2021, 11:09 AM

compact pier ```js Request.post(authOptions, async (error, response, body) => { if (!error ...

Use promises and resolve when the token is available:

new Promise((resolve) => {
  Request.post(authOptions, async (error, response, body) => {
    if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
      this.token = body.access_token;

      resolve();
    }
  });
}).then(() => {
  // Code to run after the promise is resolved and the token is available.
});

#

You can also use the reject method the promises provide to reject the promise if the token wasn't available

compact pier Dec 26, 2021, 11:12 AM

#

earnest phoenix Use promises and resolve when the token is available: ```js new Promise((resolve...

will it return the token, if I put whole thing in Function?

earnest phoenix Dec 26, 2021, 11:13 AM

#

You can return the promise as the value of the function and resolve the token with the resolve() method provided, then the token will be directly returned as the value of the function after you resolve it's promise
