development

[wooden ember]

other than just removing the msg event altogether

[cinder patio]

they'll make it privileged

[wooden ember]

only affecting varified bots?

but even then if a bot already uses normal commands and cant function on /comands what will they do then?
cuz they cant humanly just go "lol sucks to suck"

[eager yarrow]

For the Web Dyno,

I can enable a web dyno with heroku ps:scale web=1 as I have a few available, but I need a web process type configured in my Procfile. I did have it as web: python bot.py, mimicing the worker process type I have for my bot. While the web dyno did spin up with no errors, once I sent a test vote request it crashed.

Do I need to configure flask or something to listen for the Post request on my bot, or do I need to build a Web solution in node to listen for the request?

[cinder patio]

every bot

you'll have to switch to slash command

they gave you a year and a half

[wooden ember]

yeah but non varified you can just activate the intent manually on non varifed

that sucks tbh

but then thats what hapens when you give literally any bot the ability to see every message in every channel in every server its in

kinda sad they didnt make it "secure" from the get go rather than having a rethink like half a decade later

personally i hope they come up with something better or just make /comands more usable cuz last time i tryed getting into that stuff it just felt like some redneck half-assed workaround bolted on the side

[boreal iron]

and now even more?! thought they expanded the deadline

[rocky dagger]

so i got this code and i want to see if the dino varible is not inside the arr array but whatever i do everything passes or nothing does ```js
let ifBreed = [
{ "dinos": ["giga", "mosa", "pt"] },
{ "dinos": ["theri", "mana"] },
{ "dinos": ["rex", "tuso"] }
]

let dino = "h";

for (let x = 0; x < ifBreed.length; x++) {
for (let y = 0; y < ifBreed[x].dinos.length; y++) {
if (!ifBreed[x].dinos[y] === dino) return console.log(${dino} is not getting breed)
}
}```

[sudden geyser]

You should use !== instead of !... === ...

Though keep in mind that it'll immediately return if the current inner iteration passes, which I'm not sure is what you actually want.

[rocky dagger]

if its the dino variable is not in the array i dont want it to continue

[rocky dagger]

then nothing comes through

[cinder patio]

That's because both of your loops stop at the first wrong dyno name

so you don't want to return

function isDynoInArr(dino, ifBreed) {
for (let x = 0; x < ifBreed.length; x++) {
    for (let y = 0; y < ifBreed[x].dinos.length; y++) {
        if (ifBreed[x].dinos[y] === dino) return true;
    }
}
return false;
}

Then just use that function instead

or you could use a variable but in this case function's a lot better

[lyric mountain]

when u do !something === ... you actually changed the datatype to boolean and compared to another thing that was also boolean-casted (true if null, false otherwise)

but when u do something !== ... you're checking equality (true if not equals, false otherwise)

[rocky dagger]

i got more code after so i cant return true

[lyric mountain]

also the way u structured it is quite inefficient

if all keys are the same, just use an array

let ifBreed = [
  ["giga", "mosa", "pt"],
  ["theri", "mana"],
  ["rex", "tuso"]
]

[rocky dagger]

it also has other information so i wanted to keep it basic

[lyric mountain]

shouldn't u be using objects then?

actual objects I mean, instead of anonymous (as in, classes)

[rocky dagger]

this is the whole thing json [{ "_id": { "$oid": "6248817a243b8d326c6d3eb2" }, "guildID": "494567290990493696", "userID": "330064750862139393", "dinos": ["giga", "mosa", "pt"] }, { "_id": { "$oid": "624881da243b8d326c6d3eb3" }, "guildID": "494567290990493696", "userID": "491298338784673817", "dinos": ["theri", "mana"] }, { "_id": { "$oid": "6248820f243b8d326c6d3eb4" }, "guildID": "494567290990493696", "userID": "811586423933108254", "dinos": ["rex", "tuso"] }, { "_id": { "$oid": "62489fd660e500b13afd2374" }, "guildID": "494567290990493696", "userID": "836670704120365087", "dinos": [], "__v": { "$numberInt": "0" } } ]

[lyric mountain]

ah, mongo

[rocky dagger]

yes

and its 4 different documents

[lyric mountain]

have u considered using sql? (since you're dealing with relational data on a non-relational database)

[rocky dagger]

havent looked at it

and i knew how to use mongo so i just used that

[lyric mountain]

for your current case, you can use includes to check if the dino is in array

obj.dinos.includes(otherDino)

[rocky dagger]

that worked, thank u very much

[lyric mountain]

[quasi dagger]

What kind of discord bot payment integrations exist

[woeful pike]

preferably one where you redirect the user to a secure environment like a website run on a browser and not one where they enter their credit card number in dms

[sudden geyser]

what non-phishing bot is asking you to send your credit card information in dms

[solemn latch]

bad ones

[lyric mountain]

imagine how many people sent their credit card info through mail at the dawn of CCs

[boreal iron]

bcc is your black credit card right?

[sudden geyser]

can't imagine since I've never seen that

[boreal iron]

The one without limit I guess

[sudden geyser]

though I do see people emailing themselves regularly

[lyric mountain]

I didn't mean email

actual paper mail

[sudden geyser]

oh

[boreal iron]

Huh paper still exists?

Weird times

[sudden geyser]

amazon forest isn't gone yet

[lyric mountain]

dates back to 1950

yes you're old

[quartz kindle]

this is a real company in 2022

you have to send them an email or a letter in the mail, with the above fields filled up

[solemn latch]

seems safe

[sudden geyser]

Card number: 0123 4567 8901 2345

immediately gets email from Discord

[boreal iron]

Probably more save than entering your data on a suspicious Russian phishing site sharing your data with 10000 other evil platforms immediately

[quartz kindle]

dayum i just saw the april 30 deadline has been extended by 4 months

[solemn latch]

yeah

what is that, 14 months to prepare?

[quartz kindle]

idk

[solemn latch]

I still havent 👀

[quartz kindle]

i have more time to procrastinate now

:^)

[solemn latch]

yeah lmao

[quartz kindle]

i really need the date picker and variadic thing

i can do without, but it will be so much better with it

[lyric mountain]

and I need a way to set multiple signatures for a single command

[quartz kindle]

thats what subs and groups are for no?

but its kinda awkward to work with, i also need that

/a date time options
/a name time options
/a name date options
/a date date options
etc.... lol

[lyric mountain]

in theory yes, but they are very limited and awkward af

[quartz kindle]

it would be good to have for example "one of option1 option2 option3 is required"

[lyric mountain]

I'm more for "if A is supplied then B is required"

like /cmd [optA optB] optC

where [] is a param group

[boreal iron]

Once you managed to setup anything without it, they will introduce those field types, I would bet

[quartz kindle]

i kinda already did the variadic thing

didnt do the date picker yet

[boreal iron]

I wonder if discord even works on basic things like other field types or … hey hey where’s actually the promised sub command grouping?

Guess we will see more trash coming in the future instead of working on the basic features lot of people could use as they have to switch to application commands anyways

Being tired of repeating myself for one year now

[quartz kindle]

lel

[split hazel]

guys plz help

i am losing it

yeah os dev that doesnt know how to use the linux file system hahahahahahhaha shut up

anyways

this is supposed to print the phrase "hello w"

but it only prints "hello"

also tried printing the whole file

(my next step is interacting with the file in raw binary btw)

c++ btw

or c btw

[split hazel]

yea found that out

stupid design but wont judge

now im confused why opening a file in read and write mode clears the original contents

[wheat mesa]

static char* readFile(const char* path) {
  FILE* file = fopen(path, "rb");

  fseek(file, 0L, SEEK_END);
  size_t fileSize = ftell(file);
  rewind(file);

  char* buffer = (char*)malloc(fileSize + 1);
  size_t bytesRead = fread(buffer, sizeof(char), fileSize, file);
  buffer[bytesRead] = '\0';

  fclose(file);
  return buffer;
}
``` might be useful to you

Didn’t write that btw, got it from a website

[split hazel]

what is that cryptic text in the tree branches lmao

ah

i'll really be making use of binary mode

if i understand what it does correctly

nevermind i have no idea

[lyric mountain]

append at app end

[split hazel]

thank you very much thats useful

now i know you can seek to positions

which is vital to my project

so im guessing i'd really just use r+ mode (read and write)

for random access and storage of data

not strings but bytes

ah binary mode is for non ascii data

[ancient nova]

does anyone

know

how to execute a function only once?

I want ChooseSound to be executed only once

[marble juniper]

make a boolean

[ancient nova]

but the Update method, is like a for loop

[marble juniper]

and when the method runs make it true

[ancient nova]

it would work for one function

but I have 2 of them

[marble juniper]

make 2 booleans

[ancient nova]

what do I do if I wanna restart those booleans

[marble juniper]

wdym

[ancient nova]

both of those will constantly switch

from chase to idle

but the boolean trick will work only once

[marble juniper]

no idea then

[ancient nova]

ikr 😭 what do I do

[marble juniper]

tim probably knows

[ancient nova]

maybe, he's smart

[marble juniper]

indeed

[quartz kindle]

idle = false
if(idle) { chase; idle = false; }
if(!idle) { idle; idle = true; }

[ancient nova]

that'd actually work?

let me tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[marble juniper]

mind blowing

[quartz kindle]

as long as idle is outside of the update function

[karmic delta]

just wondering, i want to use buttons for polls and giveaways would this mean i have to store every button press in a DB? or is there a better way to do this?

[quartz kindle]

you can store data inside the button's unique id

[ancient nova]

it's not :/

[quartz kindle]

then put it outside

[karmic delta]

i mean like a user that voted in a poll

[marble juniper]

then put it outside

[ancient nova]

then how do I make it play again if it's outside update

[quartz kindle]

yeah you probably need a database

[quartz kindle]

how do you call update?

[karmic delta]

so reactions are still best for polls and giveaways if I dont want to store it in a DB 😢

[ancient nova]

it's like for loop for c# Update is called every millisecond

is it actually impossible to do that?

[quartz kindle]

it is outside the update function

thats what i said will work

[ancient nova]

oh I thought you mean the first if statement

[quartz kindle]

i meant the bool variable

[ancient nova]

ah that makes more sense

let me try that out then

[quartz kindle]

also you dont need 2 identical ifs

why do you have this 2 times?

[ancient nova]

they're different, the second one lacks the !

[quartz kindle]

ah

you can still make it better tho

[ancient nova]

how?

oof, this is an issue

Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, await, and new object expressions can be used as a statement

this is definitely not good

[wheat mesa]

why are you doing idle;

or something like chase;

[ancient nova]

Tim did that

Update is called every second

it's basically a loop

[wheat mesa]

I think he was giving you pseudocode

[quartz kindle]

if(!playerInAttachRange && !isPlayingJumpscareAnim) {
  if(playerInSightRange) {
    ChasePlayer();
  } else {
    Patroling();
  }
  ChoseSound(idle ? SoundManager.playingIdle : SoundManager.playingChase);
  idle = !idle;
}

[ancient nova]

oh

well let me try this then!

[wheat mesa]

I want to do 2d unity but I'm too lazy to learn unity

I think my knowledge of C# is good enough to do it though

[ancient nova]

c# is fairly similar to javascript, if you know this language it won't take you long to learn it

[wheat mesa]

I already know C# pretty well

It’s not C# that’s the problem, it’s learning Unity/game dev and learning how to structure a game “properly”

[ancient nova]

ah, that took me quite a bit to learn properly

[quartz kindle]

gayme

[ancient nova]

maybe because I started off big, normally you'd supposed to make UI based games, then 2D games and lastly, 3D games

I went straight to 3D

[wheat mesa]

I tried to get into 2d game dev but I got bored of the low level stuff with C++ and SDL

[ancient nova]

@quartz kindle lol I suppose it works in switching between the statements but it still executes every time update is called

I'm saying it's impossible

physically cannot do this

[ancient nova]

it's more fun to develop games with Unity, trust me

just the plain interface is what makes it more enjoyable

[quartz kindle]

then what do you want to do?

[ancient nova]

suppose you have a infinite function like so

setInterval(() => {
if (statement) {
//execute only once, then wait til you need to be executed again.
}
if (!statement) {
//execute only once, then wait til you need to be executed again.
}
}, 1);

it's simple to do it with one if statement

it's just one bool

but if you have to constantly switch between the if statements

[quartz kindle]

what defines when it will be needed again?

[ancient nova]

it's impossible

playerInSightRange = Physics.CheckSphere(transform.position, sightRange, whatIsPlayer);
playerInAttackRange = Physics.CheckSphere(transform.position, attackRange, whatIsPlayer);
this

both of those are bools

but if statement is true then it goes constantly

same with !statement

[quartz kindle]

i still dont get what you're trying to do

[ancient nova]

so this is my script

[quartz kindle]

you want ChoseSound to be called when?

[ancient nova]

the first time the if statement is called, the if statement will keep getting called, but ChooseSound only executes once

same with the second if statement

[dry imp]

damn, wanna try unity game dev again but my shitty mac cant even run unity properly

[ancient nova]

excuses, I get less than 30 fps on some of my projects yet I don't complain

[quartz kindle]

so you want to call Patroling only if not already patrolling is that it?

[ancient nova]

no, patrolling is being called always

only choosesounds is called once

[dry imp]

bro i get like 15 fps just 2d project with 2 sprites wdym

[ancient nova]

okay well

that's a little bit low

[dry imp]

tf do i supposed to test the movement

[ancient nova]

that's why I hate apple though

[quartz kindle]

so only call ChoseSound(idle) if not already playing idle

[ancient nova]

I can't detect it

oh actually it might work now that I think about it

just give me a couple seconds to verifty

[quartz kindle]

if(!playerInAttachRange && !isPlayingJumpscareAnim) {
  play = false;
  if(playerInSightRange) {
    ChasePlayer();
    if(idle) {
      idle = false;
      play = true;
    }
  } else {
    Patroling();
    if(!idle) {
      idle = true;
      play = true;
    }
  }
  if(play) {
    ChoseSound(idle ? SoundManager.playingIdle : SoundManager.playingChase);
  }
}

[ancient nova]

you think this will work?

imagine this in a infinite interval

[dry imp]

well its not always 15 fps but when it happens it just destroys my mood and made me quit testing

[ancient nova]

choosesound will keep being executed

oh

[quartz kindle]

@ancient novais this what you want?

[ancient nova]

not sure

I'll test it

cause my brain is melting and I can't run the code in my head

[ancient nova]

should play be in update?

[quartz kindle]

yes play can be inside update

[ancient nova]

then it doesn't seem to work

this is so weird

can you maybe do this? @quartz kindle ```cs
// both of these if statements are called in Update() meaning they will constantly be called, as if it were an infinite loop.
//is called if everything is false
if (!playerInSightRange && !playerInAttackRange && !isPlayingJumpscareAnim) {
Patroling(); //<- will be called everytime the if statement is called
ChooseSound(SoundManager.playingIdle); //<- make this be called only once, until the second if statement is called.
}
//is called if everything is false, but playerInSightRange is true.
if (playerInSightRange && !playerInAttackRange && !isPlayingJumpscareAnim) {
ChasePlayer(); //<- will be called everytime the if statement is called
ChooseSound(SoundManager.playingChase); //<- make this be called only once, until the first if statement is called.
}

[quartz kindle]

thats exactly what i did

[ancient nova]

yeah but it doesn't seem to work

no sound is playing whatsoever

meaning nothing executes

[earnest phoenix]

Any idea why this is showing wrong?

[quartz kindle]

well, show the code you actually did

[austere surge]

it uses a different format

[quartz kindle]

seconds

[earnest phoenix]

oh my bad

[ancient nova]

if(!playerInAttackRange && !isPlayingJumpscareAnim) {
  play = false;
  if(playerInSightRange) {
    ChasePlayer();
    if(idle != false) {
      idle = false;
      play = true;
    }
  } else {
    Patroling();
    if(idle != true) {
      idle = true;
      play = true;
    }
  }
  if(play) {
    ChooseSound(idle ? SoundManager.playingIdle : SoundManager.playingChase);
  }
}```

left it almost exactly the same

[quartz kindle]

can you create variables in c# without defining them?

like dont you need something like bool play = false or var or whatever?

[ancient nova]

I do

private bool name = state;

I define them outside of the function

play = false overrides it

[quartz kindle]

show the entire class

[ancient nova]

do you want the entire code?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[ancient nova]

it's not really that long

okay give me a second

@quartz kindle https://pastebin.com/58MJhDuf sorry it took me a second

[quartz kindle]

it should work, the only problem i see is that patrolling will not play until you chase once, because idle is initialized as false

can you initialize a boolean as null or undefined/unset in c#?

are these sounds played in a loop?

or do they have a specific duration?

[ancient nova]

can set it to null

[quartz kindle]

if they have a specific duration, you need an additional variable to check if its currently playing something or not

[ancient nova]

there isn't anything specified as undefined, but null could work

if (!AmbientSounds.isPlaying)

this is how you'd check if the music is playing

[quartz kindle]

then you can get rid of the idle variable altogether

[ancient nova]

can you do it and send the code back?

[wheat mesa]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

i solved thanks

[wheat mesa]

🥣

[ancient nova]

I've been coding for 12 hours today

I feel like

[wheat mesa]

then take a break

just sayin

[ancient nova]

I have to finish my todo list for today

otherwise I can't sleep

[quartz kindle]

if(!playerInAttackRange && !isPlayingJumpscareAnim) {
  if(playerInSightRange) {
    ChasePlayer();
    if(!AmbientSounds.isPlaying) {
      ChooseSound(SoundManager.playingChase);
    }
  } else {
    Patroling();
    if(!AmbientSounds.isPlaying) {
      ChooseSound(SoundManager.playingIdle);
    }
  }
}
``` this is literally all you had to do since the beginning lol

[wheat mesa]

it's important to take breaks to fight burnout

[quartz kindle]

since you have a way to check if something is playing or not

[ancient nova]

really bruh

wait but what if I want it to change abruptly

[quartz kindle]

can you check which one is playing?

[ancient nova]

I think so, let me check the docs real quick

[quartz kindle]

if(!AmbientSounds.isPlaying || AmbientSounds.clip != AmbientIdle) { hooseSound(SoundManager.playingIdle); }

[ancient nova]

yeah it might be something like this

actually no

wait

I'm at a dilema cause normally you'd use that to set a clip not check for it

[quartz kindle]

what type is AmbientIdle?

[ancient nova]

if(AudioSource.clip == clipToTest && AudioSource.isPlaying) { ... }

yeah so that's what I got from the docs

you can use it like this

[ancient nova]

ambientidle is an audiosource

[quartz kindle]

so yeah, just invert the if

you want to check if its not playing, or if its not playing the right clip

[ancient nova]

should I use &&?

[quartz kindle]

if(!AmbientSounds.isPlaying || AmbientSounds.clip != AmbientIdle)

[ancient nova]

gotcha

if(!playerInAttackRange && !isPlayingJumpscareAnim) {
  if(playerInSightRange) {
    ChasePlayer();
    if(!AmbientSounds.isPlaying || AmbientSounds.clip != AmbientIdle) {
      ChooseSound(SoundManager.playingChase);
    }
  } else {
    Patroling();
    if(!AmbientSounds.isPlaying || AmbientSounds.clip != AmbientChase) {
      ChooseSound(SoundManager.playingIdle);
    }
  }
}

let's hope this works

[quartz kindle]

the clips are wrong

if not chase, then play chase

if not idle, then play idle

[ancient nova]

my bad thought you set them like that on purpose so didn't change

@quartz kindle holy shit I think it actually worked

thanks

I couldn't have done this without you

it's awesome how you always manage to help me even if I use an entirely different language lmao

[quartz kindle]

most of the logic is the same in all langs

[boreal iron]

if hungry then eat else die

Yes it is!

[ancient nova]

yeah, but still, some of the functions are different

[lyric mountain]

Holy that's hard to read

[quartz kindle]

you're hard to read

[ancient nova]

dang it now I'm stuck on this

            incrementValue += Time.deltaTime * 0.5f;
            float result = Mathf.Lerp(1,0,incrementValue);
            this.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(initialValue, PlayerFace.transform.position + (1.5f * PlayerFace.transform.forward), result);

the player ends up going below the this object

[lyric mountain]

Wouldn't it be better to use double? Since you're dealing with position

[wheat mesa]

unity works more with floats iirc

[simple stump]

Using zlib and NodeJS, how would I extract the contents of a .7z, .tar, etc. archive to a folder?

[lyric mountain]

Can't u pass the file through tar command?

tar -xtract ze files

Now u never forget

[lament rock]

child processes

[quartz kindle]

not with zlib alone

[simple stump]

Ah ic. Thank you I'll look into child processes and alternatives.

[lyric mountain]

Call tar from the main process

Idk abt node, but in java you can even wait for a result

[lament rock]

I don't think you can execute another process within the main process. It would have to be done with a child process

unless you mean spawn under main process as a child process of main

[earnest phoenix]

Any reason this error could be popping up?

I am trying to use mongoose to put store a document, but just keep getting this

[austere surge]

your connection is probably too slow

[earnest phoenix]

gotcha

lemme try something rq

[earnest phoenix]

Tried to run it outside of my VM and still got the same error

[pine nova]

i found this on stack https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65090440/how-to-solve-mongoose-v5-11-0-model-find-error-operation-products-find-bu probably solution to ur problem

[earnest phoenix]

Already took a look at this and tried everything, no luck

[pine nova]

💀

can u show the code where u connect to db?

[earnest phoenix]

const connectToDb = async () => {
    await mongo().then(async (mongoose:any) => {
      try {
        console.log('Connected to DB')
     } finally {
        mongoose.connection.close()
      }
    })
  }

  await connectToDb()```

this worked, up until just recently
like, I was adding things to the db just fine about an hour ago

[quartz kindle]

why do you close the connection immediately?

[earnest phoenix]

shit

[pine nova]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

im stupid

thank you for pointing that out

forgot to remove it after testing

[civic scroll]

you imported discord while already imported discord

looks like copy-paste codes

overview

that's what hit my eyes first

the 1st line of async run

you could just Discord.MessageEmbed

why not most of the time?

[quartz kindle]

names are case sensitive

if you named it Discord, then its Discord.MessageEmbed, not discord.MessageEmbed

[split hazel]

does anyone happen to know databases like sqlite work under the hood?

like how do stored records get physically represented in a file

because im interested in how they deal with fragmentation because of deleting records

[bright hornet]

https://sourceb.in/Ibt3EzeiDe how can I make the quiz with award? The code i provided are not working

[tulip cradle]

y

js { label: "Channel Updates", description: `${client.emoji.THEME} | ` + "Set the channel for logging channel updates", value: "channel_logs", },

[boreal iron]

iirc descriptions only support text and numbers and no special chars or emojis

But the select menu option can have an emoji

[earnest phoenix]

heelo there

[quartz kindle]

the deleted entry is probably just replaced with a marker that it was deleted, it wont actually be removed until you run vacuum

[split hazel]

vacuum lmao

I'm just thinking of a strategy on approaching this issue

since you can't just delete bytes

unfortunately

so will they be replaced or

is there an index of deleted blocks

so they can be replaced

[quartz kindle]

yeah there are many strategies for this

all of them have drawbacks

there isnt a single best solution

[snow vector]

i made it

[lyric mountain]

holy that's some high level necromancy there

so, how did it go?

[snow vector]

good

im gonna touch up the css so it looks better but

[lyric mountain]

are u using raw websockets or socket.io?

[snow vector]

raw web sockets

[lyric mountain]

good

well, you're pretty much set up then, now it's just working on the front end

[snow vector]

[lyric mountain]

did u find it hard or pretty straightforward?

[snow vector]

in between i had never made anything in phpMyAdmin and the layout confused me but other then that it went pretty smoot

[lyric mountain]

oh, phpmyadmin

use pgadmin4

php<something>admin is generally used as a fallback alternative to manage the database

I asked regarding the websocket itself

[snow vector]

thats just what i can use on my hosting

[lyric mountain]

ah, mysql, I misread postgres

well then phpmyadmin is the best option

[snow vector]

yeah lol

[lyric mountain]

is it the only database available?

[snow vector]

on my hosting?

yes

Can anyone help me with my topggpy? I wrote this but it did not work. I tried asking in #topgg-api but no one answered so I wanna ask here 😭

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import topgg
from config import *

class TopGG(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.client = bot
        self.token = DBL_TOKEN # set this to your DBL token
        self.dblpy = topgg.DBLClient(self.client, self.token, autopost=True, post_shard_count=False)


    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_dbl_vote(self, data):
        print(data)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(TopGG(bot))

[lyric mountain]

what error?

[haughty scaffold]

There was no error. just the bot didn't print out when I voted

What is route?

[solemn latch]

It's the part that goes at the end of your webhook url

http://serverip:port/dbl for example

[haughty scaffold]

Oh

[haughty scaffold]

Bro Can I DM You For Help?

[solemn latch]

If you want, but its often faster asking here or in #topgg-api.
Others often catch things I don't ^_^

[haughty scaffold]

No one answer me tho- Also, I need help with my webhook API so I don't want to leak the url here

[solemn latch]

You probably shouldn't share your webhook url with me either.

[haughty scaffold]

Maybe I will change another one then, after I get the structure

Help me please 😭

[solemn latch]

did you fill in your url and auth on your bots edit page in the webhook section?

[haughty scaffold]

Yes

• I tested it

[solemn latch]

and you didnt use a discord webhook url correct?

[haughty scaffold]

I did

[solemn latch]

topgg webhooks dont work with discord webhooks

[haughty scaffold]

ah no

I converted it through https://webhook-topgg.com

[solemn latch]

ah

[solemn latch]

if you want to use this code you cannot use that site

[haughty scaffold]

Do you know any site that I can connect?

[solemn latch]

topgg only allows one webhook at a time, as far as I know you cannot use two on any site.

[haughty scaffold]

I mean, do you know how to get a valid topgg webhook?

Like links that I can get the routes one

[earnest phoenix]

hello

[solemn latch]

what are you using to host?
ie, a vps, dedicated server, heroku, replit, home?

[haughty scaffold]

vps

[solemn latch]

your url would be
http://VPSIPHERE:PORTHERE/ROUTE

[haughty scaffold]

Oh

[haughty scaffold]

But bro, we really have to host a webhook?

[solemn latch]

how else do you expect to receive the events?
webhooks are pretty standard for receiving data.

[haughty scaffold]

I want to get the event if the bot got voted

[solemn latch]

yeah, webhooks are the easiest and most performant way of doing that.

[haughty scaffold]

But idk how to get a top.gg webhook

[solemn latch]

you're doing it now.

this code creates a webhook listener

well, its incomplete

webhook_path='/dblwebhook', webhook_auth='password', webhook_port=5000
is missing

[haughty scaffold]

but idk webhook_path 😭

[solemn latch]

it can be any standard characters

kiandkiasndkd

would be a valid path

you're the server, you get to decide those things

[haughty scaffold]

But the VPS only hosts the bot tho-

[solemn latch]

most vps providers allow web requests

[haughty scaffold]

Oh

@solemn latch So the stucture is <IPAdress>:<PORT>/<anything here>?

[solemn latch]

yeah, as long as <anything here> is the same on topgg and webhook_path='/<anything here>'

[haughty scaffold]

Ohh

I got it, let me try

[haughty scaffold]

What about the auth?

[solemn latch]

the auth you decide, as long as its standard characters
a-z A-Z 0-9 and a few others are allowed

[haughty scaffold]

ohh

cool

@solemn latch Bro can we get the url in Vote tracker bot?

[solemn latch]

you can use vote tracker or your own webhook.
not both

[haughty scaffold]

what will be the route in that url then

this: https://webhook.votetracker.bot/topgg/guild/928260490948378664/bot/953661852112547860

[solemn latch]

seems they provided it.

your code wont function if you use that though

[haughty scaffold]

O

sadge

However- can we do the track without webhook?

[solemn latch]

we only provide webhooks.

[haughty scaffold]

[solemn latch]

if you are really determined to use a third party service and get a vote event you can just listen for the message sent from vote tracker or this service.
but no one really does that, and I dont know python to help you.

[haughty scaffold]

Oh

[solemn latch]

deleted for privacy reasons

[haughty scaffold]

ah

it's fine

[solemn latch]

the webhook url cannot be visited in a browser, its only for server to server communication(otherwise it would be called a website)

[haughty scaffold]

O

Nvm I will try it tmr

[atomic kindle]

Should I finally give in and use bcrypt or continue hashing passwords using SHA?

[wheat mesa]

BCrypt and salting

[atomic kindle]

Doesn't bcrypt require salts by default?

[wheat mesa]

I don’t think so

But they might, can’t remember

[sudden geyser]

there's argon as well

[split hazel]

anyone know a good tool to look inside a programs memory (including heap) and search the contents?

i tried cheat engine but it doesnt support regex text searching

[lyric mountain]

I'd be more amazed if it did support

heap is most of the time huge

[split hazel]

or at least one that can monitor page reads

that should probably be easier

[woeful pike]

bcrypt rolls its own salt

SHA is relatively fast because it's general purpose. Password hashes are specifically meant to be slower to make brute force even harder so you should probably switch

[atomic kindle]

Yep. Thanks, Xetera.

[wheat mesa]

I guess that’s new, when I used BCrypt with C# I had to use one of their functions to create a salt

[boreal iron]

Yeah it was common to define your own salt in previous php versions too which has changed the last years

Bcrypt does generate its own cryptographic safe salt key

(by default)

But you shouldn’t set the generation cost to a too low value

[simple stump]

How would I use ES modules in a commonjs file? Ex.

import someModule from someModule;

// But I want:
const someModule = require("someModule");

Reasons for this is that I don't want to have to go through every single file and change require to import. Most of the modules I use are not ES modules anyways, so changing such things for just one module would break a lot of things.

[pale vessel]

you'd have to use const someModule = await import("someModule");. there's no other way besides migrating to ESM and using search & replace function of your editor

[fallen holly]

HI i'm making a website with nodejs first time on web dev how do i fix this

[pale vessel]

require() is only in node

[fallen holly]

huh

[pale vessel]

browser JavaScript is not node

if you're making a website in node.js, chances are the backend is in node.js

[fallen holly]

How do i change the backend

[pale vessel]

i'm not sure what you're trying to do

what part of your code has require() in it and what is it for?

[crimson vapor]

oh shit flaze is talking again

hi

[fallen holly]

making an url shortener so i'm using bitly api and i'm requiring node-fetch

[pale vessel]

why are u running the code in the browser console?

[fallen holly]

i'm not

[pale vessel]

ah if u want fetch, simply use fetch()

it's built in

[fallen holly]

its giving me 403
main.js:4 POST https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten

[wheat mesa]

then you can't POST to that url

[earnest phoenix]

For some reason I am getting a permission error even though the bot has permissions and intents to ban (which is what I am trying to do)

[wheat mesa]

show the error and the code associated with it

[earnest phoenix]

Any reason that this could be happening?

Here is the error:

[wheat mesa]

check your bot's permissions again

[wheat mesa]

because the likely reason is that you didn't check the right perms

[earnest phoenix]

it has admin

lemme try just ticking ban rq

[solemn latch]

are they manageable?
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/GuildMember?scrollTo=manageable

[earnest phoenix]

Found the issue.. It's because of the fact that bot was below the role that the user had..

Is there a way to catch this and just return an error in Discord saying to make sure the bot role is above the person you're trying to ban?

[solemn latch]

its called manageable

[earnest phoenix]

gotchhhaaaaa

thank you veryyy much

[rocky hearth]

how do I uninstall all global packages, with yarn?

[bright hornet]

is there any way to delete the timeout using d.js?

[rocky hearth]

clearTimeout

[bright hornet]

target.timeout(null)``` answered my question, btw thanks

[earnest phoenix]

Hey there...

I am using MongoDB as a database and am trying to check if a certain value within a document equals something.

What I am trying to do is check if the user wants to display the ban publicly and does not have a channel configured using this code:

if (isPublic && dbdata.publicChannel == "none") {

      interaction.reply({
        content: 'there we go'
      })
      
    }```

the `publicChannel` is set to `"none"` when a bot is added to the server and then is updated using a command.

Anyways.. When I run my code, all I get is an error saying the application didn't respond or whatever with no error in the console.

Any reason this could be happening?
Thanks in advance

isPublic is a boolean the user provides
dbdata is the findById that I have set up

And everything works fine when I remove this if statement..
And I would just remove it, but it is needed

[lament rock]

you also have to think about what happens if that if statements doesn't run. It's possible that your execution branches off to somewhere else and then you don't have a response

[earnest phoenix]

might have a fix.. hol on

[neat current]

yarn global remove $(yarn global list | grep info | sed 's/^info "\(.*\)@.*".*$/\1/')

https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/1048

[earnest phoenix]

What here could not allow my bot to reply to interactions?

[neat current]

Use Slash Commands ?

[earnest phoenix]

have it

[neat current]

are you returning deferReply ?

[lament rock]

Nothing can deny you from responding to interaction commands

[neat current]

I thought you have problem with reply 😄

[earnest phoenix]

nope.. just a normal js interaction.reply({ content: 'Hello world!' })

[earnest phoenix]

Then how come my bot is not sending messages at all?

[lament rock]

because your logic is flawed or dead-ending

[earnest phoenix]

but it's just a command that says "hello world"

[lament rock]

Show your code so we can help better

[earnest phoenix]

  }
} as ICommand```

I have the one part commented out for troubleshooting

[lament rock]

How interactions works as compared to message command handling is that you HAVE to respond. Simply returning without telling the user anything does not help the user or you

[earnest phoenix]

Soooooooo.. Are you referencing to this:

if (logChannel?.type === 'GUILD_TEXT') logChannel.type === 'GUILD_TEXT'
else return```?

[lament rock]

yup

it's just something in general as well

[earnest phoenix]

So even though the command that sets the channel makes sure it is a GUILD_TEXT channel, I should also make sure it is here in the ban command?

And then, if it isn't for who knows what reason, return an error embed or something alike?

And that helped

THANK YOU @lament rock

[lament rock]

always sanity check yourself because unintended logic will always occur if you allow room for it to

[earnest phoenix]

yea

i was about to go insane, I've been on this for 2 hours

[lament rock]

If something so simple got me stuck, I would go insane too. Something did happen yesterday where I was working on a Discord gateway lib I maintain where if Discord asked my client to reconnect, it would connect to the gateway, but it wouldn't receive the HELLO packet (which Discord always sends). Turns out that I removed all listeners from the ws implementation which was a relic of old design. Needless to say I shouted plenty of obscenities at myself after 4 hours of console logging and debugging

[earnest phoenix]

Been there done that

Not that exact situation, but some like it

[neat current]

Discord token and refresh. one time, I had no error on console everything was perfect I was getting the response from discord api but I can't send the request. Slash command auto complete was showing nothing even if I send data back. I have a friend who is newbie on programming he told me that dude refresh the token maybe it expired. afterwards, I refreshed the token and it worked 😄

[earnest phoenix]

oml

speaking of newbies

[lament rock]

its the little things. I'm at the point of js mastery, but I'm still dumb as fuck

[earnest phoenix]

what permissions do you need to send to other channels?
Just the send messages permission, correct?

[neat current]

I think Send Message is covering for that ?

[lament rock]

VIEW_CHANNEL and SEND_MESSAGES

[neat current]

@lament rock he is asking on discord application permission area / I believe

[lament rock]

That area doesn't matter since guilds and channels are what takes precedence

[earnest phoenix]

wellllllll

slighhhtttttt isssueeeeee

i have those and am getting a perm error:

[lament rock]

users with MANAGE_ROLES can change the permissions anyways

[pine nova]

💀

[lament rock]

Welp. Those are the permissions, so check again

[lament rock]

like I said, that page does not matter whatsoever

the channel overrides are what matters

[earnest phoenix]

okay

now

how would I check if the bot has permission?

to send messages to that channel

[lament rock]

check channel.permissionsFor(guild.me)

[earnest phoenix]

Thank you, got it

[bright hornet]

how can i add canva image on embed?

[pale vessel]

upload the image as an attachment first and use the url

[empty moth]

Would someone know a way to remove a role automatically when another role is granted ? I have a visitor role, but once people are granted "member" role, I want visitor to be removed. Member role is granted through a bot (easy applications).

[earnest phoenix]

How to make Vote required commands ( Discord.py )

[near stratus]

#topgg-api message

[civic scroll]

apply an event listener when a member's role list changes

[empty moth]

in theory I think I understand what you mean, in reality I have no idea on how to do that though. Do you have an example somewhere I could look into (and copy :D) ?

[civic scroll]

depends on what library you use

[empty moth]

none I believe ? I just use a few bots and that's it.

[rocky dagger]

i got a map of userIds from a queue i made and want to turn it into user tags instead, ik i can use client.users.cache.get for ids if they are in a string but it doesnt look like it works in a map js const stringArray = queue.map(obj => `${obj.queue.userID}`); console.log(stringArray); const joinedString = stringArray.join('\n'); console.log(client.users.cache.get(joinedString));

or if it much easier just tag the user but i preferably wouldnt

[rocky hearth]

can I access a global variable inside a js function?

coz, I hv a local variable with same name, in that funciton

[lament rock]

const users = queue.map(o => o.queue.userID).map(client.users.cache.get);

If queue is an Array, that returns an Array<User>. If it's a Collection, that would return Collection<string, User>

[lament rock]

global.variableName instead of just variableName

global is a constant

if it's webjs, you'd use window

[rocky hearth]

doesnt fetch works in nodejs?

[lyric mountain]

by "tag" do you mean <@mention>?

[rocky dagger]

yes

[lyric mountain]

just replace the very first line in ur code with```js
const stringArray = queue.map(obj => <@${obj.queue.userID}>);

no need to get anything, discord will parse that into a mention

anyone know how to fix it ?

[lyric mountain]

TypeError: client.voice.onVoiceStateUpdate is not a function

[rocky dagger]

i would prefer to only get the username but with that i could just send it to one person

[lyric mountain]

?

like, if u want the username u do need to get the user object

that's why I asked "with 'tag' do you mean <@mention>?"

[rocky dagger]

thats why i said or if it much easier just tag the user but i preferably wouldnt

[rocky hearth]

how does axios works in both browser and nodejs?

[rocky dagger]

and that just prints @polar olive

[lyric mountain]

obviously

console wont parse the mention

[rocky dagger]

i also replied in discord

[lyric mountain]

because you don't share a guild with that user

what's that command for?

[rocky dagger]

to list a queue from a database

[lyric mountain]

no, I mean, is it public or dev-only?

[rocky dagger]

currently me only but i will make it public

[lyric mountain]

if ur going to show members of other servers then yes, you need to grab the username

[rocky dagger]

im not

[lyric mountain]

then using a mention is fine

since members of the same guild will always show as a valid mention

just put the mentions inside an embed or disable mentioning users so they don't get pinged

[rocky dagger]

well, it didnt ping me

[lyric mountain]

is it inside an embed?

[rocky dagger]

no

[lyric mountain]

then it should be disabled globally, else it'd have pinged

[rocky dagger]

weird

nvm it works now

[jovial parcel]

i found a bug in my bot that will take awhile to fix. if i delete it from top.gg will i be able to readd it again later (assuming with review)?

[quartz kindle]

yeah, but why would you want to remove it? just leave it there, nobody cares lol

[jovial parcel]

cause first impressions, ya know?

[proven cloak]

Here You see that Emoji ? i wanna know how to do that in discordjs

[earnest phoenix]

You can use the setEmoji() method on the MessageButton class instance to do so
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/MessageButton?scrollTo=setEmoji

[dry imp]

amogus github

[earnest phoenix]

For example

import { MessageButton } from 'discord.js';

const button = new MessageButton()
  .setEmoji(...);

[slender wagon]

can i use fs on vanilla js

or something similar idk

[pale vessel]

erm, no

that would be a huge security vulnerability

[slender wagon]

oh shit you are right

what iff i encode it real hard

Also this is a project i am not taking really seriously

@pale vessel come here heheh

does encoding work

like would it make it safer somehow

[vast cedar]

when i map all my guilds, some guild id, guild name and icon are undefined, someone know why?

[pale vessel]

what are u mapping it to?

[quartz kindle]

fs does not exist in browsers precisely because its a security risk

[slender wagon]

i am aware but i think intead of that i can use smthn else which i forgor about

but i did use something similar to fs on a vanilla project earlier

[vast cedar]

For a server list

[quartz kindle]

there is the browser FileSystem api which can access temp files and such https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileSystem

[pale vessel]

show ur code

[slender wagon]

nahhh he afraid u gonna steal the masterpiece

[slender wagon]

also how come developer.mozilla is sooo advanced when it comes to dom stuff and vanilla js

like it has more info than stackoverflow

the answers are there lmao

[quartz kindle]

it is basically the top js documentation source

it has a huge community maintaining it

[slender wagon]

ohhh that's why

[vast cedar]

const guildData = await data.guilds.cache.sort((a, b) => b.memberCount - a.memberCount).map(guild => {
            return `Name: ${guild.name} ID: ${guild.id}`
}); 

[slender wagon]

i've been always wondering

[vast cedar]

I dont see anything wrong with the code

But some guild return undefined as id or server name

[quartz kindle]

you dont need await

also what is data?

[vast cedar]

data is the client

[quartz kindle]

is the client logged in?

[vast cedar]

yes he is

sometimes i get the id and the name is undefined

[slender wagon]

u have to fetch the members first

[quartz kindle]

do you have sharding? do you use guilds.fetch(id) anywhere?

do you use guilds.cache.set() anywhere?

[vast cedar]

No i dont have anything this is just a 10 line script where i map all guilds

 '957844928900247612' => <ref *62> Guild {
    id: '957844928900247612',
    name: undefined,
    icon: undefined,
    features: undefined,
    //... 

[slender wagon]

uhh what?

[quartz kindle]

i mean in other places where you use client

not only in this script

show how you define data

[vast cedar]

const bots = new Collection()

bots.set(guild.id, new Client({ intents: 32767 }))

const data = bots.get(guild.id);

await data.login(token)

// and the map after this

[quartz kindle]

what

[earnest phoenix]

[quartz kindle]

what even is that

that doesnt make any sense

[slender wagon]

data = bots.get(guild.id) ?

[vast cedar]

Yes

[slender wagon]

don't just copy and paste code please

[quartz kindle]

why are you creating multiple clients

[vast cedar]

I need a different bot for each guild

[quartz kindle]

why?

[vast cedar]

I dont

[quartz kindle]

thats not how it works

[vast cedar]

Custom Bots

[slender wagon]

u are hosting all of them on 1 vps?

[quartz kindle]

you have different tokens for each guild as well?

[vast cedar]

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

botghost hosting concept

[quartz kindle]

i mean

you have to keep in mind that each client will not have only that guild, and that if two bots share the same base guild one of them will be overwritten

also, awaiting the login is not enough to receive all guild data

that is why you are seeing undefined

guild data is only guaranteed to exist after the ready event

[vast cedar]

but it work when i map all guilds with eval, so this is weird

[slender wagon]

that's prolly cuz the ready event has done it's job?

Damn a custom bot for a "Claim your nitro" server Ooof

[quartz kindle]

as i said, guild data is only available after the ready event

[slender wagon]

just what i said hehe

[vast cedar]

okay thanks

[slender wagon]

if .onReady is finished you are good to go

that's it

[vast cedar]

yes it work now, thanks you :)

[bright thorn]

message.channel.messages.fetch();

am getting ratelimits on fetch so what i have to do

any optional idea?

[wheat mesa]

What are you fetching the messages for?

The simplest solution is don’t fetch that many messages™️

[near stratus]

When you get denied for message content but too lazy to switch to slash commands

[quartz kindle]

lmao

yes, lets fetch every single message we receive, that sounds like a good idea

[boreal iron]

Aye... if we're not allowed to receive the content anymore, just take down the API with spam as protest

[rocky dagger]

so i just added a new bot i made to a server and i am getting this error here DiscordAPIError[20012]: You are not authorized to perform this action on this application at SequentialHandler.runRequest (D:\programering\Coding\MyBots\discord.js\DJS v13\ark helper\node_modules\@discordjs\rest\dist\lib\handlers\SequentialHandler.js:198:23) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5) at async SequentialHandler.queueRequest (D:\programering\Coding\MyBots\discord.js\DJS v13\ark helper\node_modules\@discordjs\rest\dist\lib\handlers\SequentialHandler.js:99:20) at async D:\programering\Coding\MyBots\discord.js\DJS v13\ark helper\src\functions\handleCommands.js:31:17 { rawError: { message: 'You are not authorized to perform this action on this application', code: 20012 }, code: 20012, status: 403, method: 'put', url: 'https://discord.com/api/v9/applications/811586423933108254/guilds/494567290990493696/commands' }

[green kestrel]

just spent some time seeing how small we could get our compiled bots. we agreed on something like this

#include <dpp/dpp.h>
int main() { dpp::cluster bot("token"); bot.start(false); }

someone said 'oh in rust i can get a similar bot compiled and stripped symbols and it is 5mb'... so i did the same and...

brain@neuron:~$ g++ -std=c++17 -o testsize2 test2.cpp -ldpp -Os
brain@neuron:~$ strip testsize2
brain@neuron:~$ ls -alh testsize2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 brain brain 6.7K Apr  6 19:35 testsize2

@wheat mesa I hate bnf

first time trying to write a custom language compiler for intellij and I hate bnf

[cinder patio]

what is bnf

[wheat mesa]

What is bnf

Just use regular expression form instead (whatever it’s called)

This thing

[wheat mesa]

Ah okay I see

[lyric mountain]

for example <test:any:R> is a parameter called "test", with type "any" and is required

[wheat mesa]

I haven’t done stuff like that

Much better than writing it by hand to be fair

[lyric mountain]

but that FEELS like regex, but isn't regex and I hate that

[wheat mesa]

With a parser and everything

[lyric mountain]

for intellij gotta use that

also it's fun that you could theoretically make a theme where all colors are random

just supply (int) (0xFFFFFF * Math.random()) when passing highlight color

it'll change everytime you do something

[wheat mesa]

Lol

Just randomly make valid code look like an error

[lyric mountain]

bruh, I spent 1 hour trying to find why this is capturing [] too

[wheat mesa]

Lol

[lyric mountain]

guess why?

damn unicode

now why understand why people use [A-Za-z] instead of [A-z]

[solemn latch]

lmao

[boreal iron]

yeah you should be careful if you don't wanna match ascii chars, too

If you don't care about the case sensitivity then simply add the i flag

[A-Z] or [a-z] will then both match the right chars but no ascii chars

[lyric mountain]

yay it works

[polar sapphire]

My bot was public and random people added it to their servers. How can i make my bot leave these servers like how premium bots leave servers? when you add them without premium subscription?

[split hazel]

discord.js?

if so it's as easy as guild.leave()

[tardy rivet]

what language

[polar sapphire]

Js, Thank you all, my friend helped me,

[atomic kindle]

I don't have much experience with sharding Discord bots. So, if I have messages that need to be fetched every time the bot is restarted, what would be the most efficient way of doing so?

[solemn latch]

broadcast eval fetch it

[sterile lantern]

How do we go about fetching users in discordjs v13? is it still client.users.fetch?

Ah wait nevermind it has to do with my intents

[sterile lantern]

how can i delete the embed that was sent

in this case, q1

like after it checks everything ofc

[boreal iron]

You edit the message and let it’s content as it is but pass an empty array for the embeds options

iirc message.edit({ embeds: [] }); will not affect the content

If there’s no content this will cause an error as a message can’t be empty

[quartz kindle]

one does not simply edit an embed :^)

[boreal iron]

Tf I don’t get that English

One?

I'm trying to import an ES6 module in commonjs, but client keeps returning undefined.

let client;
import('es6-module-thing').then((_) => {
    client = new _.default();
});
module.exports.client = client;

[quartz kindle]

you cant do that

[simple stump]

Is there any way then I can import an ES6 module into commonjs without having to change all my require statements to import and modifying my package.json?

[quartz kindle]

treat it as an async function like it is

the closest you can do to that is this:

module.exports = function() {
  return import('es6-module-thing').then(_ => new _.default());
}

// file
const createClient = require("yourmodule.js");
// inside some async code
const client = await createClient();

[simple stump]

Okay tysm!

And I assume yourmodule.js is the file that contains the module.exports statement?

[quartz kindle]

ye

but you might as well just use the import line directly

its a 1 liner anyway, not much use putting it in a separate file

const client = await import('es6-module-thing').then(_ => new _.default());

[simple stump]

ah ic okay. tysm this is super helpful

[slender thistle]

await?

[quartz kindle]

is that a question, or...?

[woeful pike]

Usually the rule of thumb with dependencies is you import anything that is statically available from the moment the app starts (function definitions, constants, classes) from files and anything that is not available the moment an app starts like a database connection, client etc you pass around your app as parameters or as state

obviously there are exceptions to that like all rule of thumbs but it's a helpful way of thinking about managing when you need things and when they're available

[quartz kindle]

yeah but you cant import esm from cjs like that

[woeful pike]

ye I recognize there's a more important underlying issue here in specific

[civic scroll]

assign

const msg = message.channel.send(...);
...
msg.delete(); // async

How to do Mention a Button, and a SelectMenu in SlashCmds ??

[glacial yoke]

hey, i was wondering how i would make it so when i say !help it sends the normal help cmd (which i already have) but then using buttons below you could click stuff like moderation, utility, etc and it will edit the message to show that. I've already got that but my issue is when i click something like moderation it edits the message but removes the buttons. how do i do that and still keep the embeds so it removes the moderation button and adds a "help" one and keeps every other one

im using discord.py

import nextcord
from nextcord.ui import Button, View
from nextcord.ext import commands

class Help(commands.Cog):
     
     def __init__(self, client):
          self.client = client

     @commands.command()
     async def help(self, ctx):
          mod = Button(label="Moderation", style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.green)
          uti = Button(label="Utility", style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.green)
          
          ambed=nextcord.Embed(timestamp=ctx.message.created_at,colour=0x2986cc)
          ambed.set_author(name="Heroku Moderation", icon_url="https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/961439698750943243/961465912886697994/Hemi.png")
          
          async def button_callback(interaction):
               await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=ambed, view=None)
               
          mod.callback = button_callback
  
          wmbed=nextcord.Embed(timestamp=ctx.message.created_at,colour=0x2986cc)
          wmbed.set_author(name="Heroku Utility", icon_url="https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/961439698750943243/961465912886697994/Hemi.png")
  
          async def button_callback(interaction):
               await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=wmbed, view=None)
               
          uti.callback = button_callback
          
          embed=nextcord.Embed(timestamp=ctx.message.created_at,description="Heroku is a mainly Moderation & Utility bot, our goal is to make Heroku as simple and\neasy to use.

          view = View()
          view.add_item(mod)
          view.add_item(uti)
          await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)

def setup(client):
     client.add_cog(Help(client))

if you could help or if i don't make sense pls ping me

[wheat mesa]

whats the problem?

What version of Discord.JS are you running, and on DiscordJS client init what intents are you providing?

See https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#privileged-intents
As an example: const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });

[steep ivy]

you should add an extra button with one of the button callbacks and in that same callback, disable a different button (I don't think it's possible to delete one entirely from the message):
i.e.

async def button_callback(interaction):
  new_button = discord.ui.Button(label=f"Play Amogus", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji=":video_game:")
  original_button.disabled = True
  # Or smth like that

I hope that helps

they are asking me for verification but whenevr i upload my documents they say its invalid
i am uploading my adhaar card as my identity proof
can someone help me in it .

[winter pasture]

How? The lates DiscordJS version is 13.6.0

And what about my second question, what intents are you passing in currently? It is a required field

[pale vessel]

maybe they meant node 17

[earnest phoenix]

yeah 😄

[winter pasture]

Yeah that is not relevant atm tho 😂
What is the answer for my other two questions lol. Kinda hard to help when you avoid them

[earnest phoenix]

😄

[winter pasture]

Best place to ask would be the discord developer server https://discord.gg/discord-developers or via a normal support ticket to Discord

[earnest phoenix]

https://uploadi.ng/uWHgByZj and https://uploadi.ng/NSUqcYxL

[winter pasture]

Yeah you need to pass a discord intents array in there too. It became required by the Discord Gateway some time ago

See: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#privileged-intents

[pulsar bone]

yeah support ticket being unresolved from last month

[winter pasture]

What country are you from, India?

https://stripe.com/docs/acceptable-verification-documents

[pulsar bone]

yes

[winter pasture]

I am guessing a PAN card is a aadhar card?

Humm... reading from the other server people mentioned a "aadhar card" worked. Are you 16 years or older?

Maybe try taking a clearer image in a brighter room?

[pulsar bone]

[pulsar bone]

its different

[lyric mountain]

what u want is pagination

check if there isn't a lib for that, making your own pagination handler can be quite hard to explain

[twin bridge]

Lol

[neat ingot]

so.. what you think would be the best way for me to, within my app, show how many users are currently using the app?

I'm thinking of, within the app, pinging some api with some random unique id that gets regenerated when the app reboots, and then on my api i can just count how many unique id's within like, the past 5 minutes

but idk

[near stratus]

use a websocket

[neat ingot]

but then each active app would have a constant connection to my server, and that doesnt scale as nice as an occasional ping for a counter to be returned

[lyric mountain]

I mean, online games use mostly websockets to track player actions

[neat ingot]

yea, but games would mostly already have an active socket for sending data

[lyric mountain]

wouldn't it be the same for your app? it's a 1-N relation

[cinder patio]

You could use UDP instead of websockets

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[cinder patio]

hmmm or you could just go with your solution

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[neat ingot]

I mean, my app doesnt need to be sending any other data though. using a socket just to check how many recent users seems kinda overkill 😄

but having some api that just gets pinged seems messy somehow

[lyric mountain]

well, either way you do need to set a connection between client <> server

websockets don't necessarily mean it'll be a bidi connection

[neat ingot]

yea, but lets take scale into account too. you can only have like 1000 sockets connected to any single endpoint iirc

for something thats sending a ping to get a counter once every 5-10 minutes, that seems like an unnessicary obstacle

[slender wagon]

let day1 = 2
let day2 = 2
let day3 = 1

//Let's check for the best combination and refuse the bad combinations

if (day1 === 1 && day2 === 2 && day3 === 3) {
    console.log(`Perfect :)`)
} else if (day1 === 2 && day2 === 1 || day1 === 3 && day2 === 1 || day1 === 3 && day2 === 2 || day2 === 2 && day3 === 1 || day2 === 3 && day3 === 1 || day2 === 3 && day3 === 2){
    console.log(`balls too`)
}else{
    console.log(`balls`)
}

look guys javascript

[neat ingot]

so i'd either have to implement some kind of load balanacing with multiple servers ready to spin up to record a counter, or just use an endpoint, and count how many uuid's in the past x time

[earnest phoenix]

That's like the same thing on all programming languages

[slender wagon]

yeah ik

what i wanna do is when day1 is bigger than day2 console log shit

[cinder patio]

Why only 1000?

[slender wagon]

same thing for day2 with day3

wait i am stupid

[neat ingot]

idk, isnt that the limit on how many sockets can be connected to any single port or whatever?

oh, apparently nginx has a hard limit of 65,535 concurrent connections 😄

[cinder patio]

64K for TCP

[neat ingot]

wth, why am i over here thinking 1k 😂

but still, keeping a connection open constantly vs a ping every x minutes, is it really better to socket it?

rather than just connect then close each time with a regular request

[cinder patio]

UDP sockets are cheap and there's no constant connection

just an open socket

[neat ingot]

I guess then it would really depend on how often im actually going to be polling the api

if i want users within 5 minutes, or an hour, or 24 hours, or whatever

like, if im doing it every 5 minutes maybe a socket would be better, but i think anything over one per 30 minutes would likely be better to just ping an endpoint

or i could just add google analytics to my app and get the data there 😂

but ~ eww, google. (sorry mr feud)

[slender wagon]

if (day1 < day2 && day2 < day3 || day1 === day2 && day2 < day3 ||day1 < day2 && day2 === day3 || day1 === day2 && day2 === day3) {
    console.log('Gucci')
}else{
    console.log('No good!')
}

which one? lmk if u got a better solution

[slender wagon]

this or the latest one

[cinder patio]

If you really care about speed and performance you'd use UDP over HTTP

[neat ingot]

😂

yea im likely going to set it up with udp as i think i do wanna be sending updates fairly frequently

[quartz kindle]

if you're pinging every 5 minutes you dont need sockets

sockets are meant for connections that update many times per second, if you're only doing it once every 5 minutes, you will end up wasting most of it to some kind of keepalive heartbeating

[neat ingot]

that was kind of my initial thinking in using just a basic ping type request. like, just having unrequired connections alive seems like a pointless waste of resources.

and its literally just to send some data like uuid and app version 😄

and to get a number returned

[cinder patio]

UDP is connectionless

one socket sends data other receives it, a connection is not required

with HTTP you're basically starting a connection and then closing it once you receive your data. So theoretically there's more overhead using HTTP than using UDP

[lyric mountain]

if (day1 <= day2 && day2 <= day3) {

}

[slender wagon]

I forgor about that too

😂 💀

[lyric mountain]

[slender wagon]

I gotta keep a js operators list printed somewhwre

[slender wagon]

I wanna learn java

[lyric mountain]

rlly?

[slender wagon]

Thats the only lang i can get a job with in my country

Otherwise i would have to do frontend which i hate

I do know c# a bit

[lyric mountain]

learn either lang and you automatically learn the other

[slender wagon]

Used it for unity

[lyric mountain]

then u know java

[slender wagon]

Is it gonna be hard to move from js to java

I've literally never touched java

[lyric mountain]

well, code migration is difficult when going from a dynamic lang to a static one

HOWEVER, to ease ur migration I'd recommend groovy

[sudden geyser]

consider yourself lucky

[lyric mountain]

since it has a syntax VERY similar to js, but is technically java

and it's also dynamic

[sudden geyser]

js and java are incomparable imo

[slender wagon]

Hmm

[lyric mountain]

that's true, that's why I suggested groovy

[slender wagon]

The thing is i shall learn it just cuz thats what companies use here

Nodejs is almost unknown

Its either php or java

I dont wanna make a step back and learn php

[sudden geyser]

unknown where you are? I hear lots of jobs involve node.js

[slender wagon]

Albania

[sudden geyser]

makes sense

[slender wagon]

Yes

Its not africa

Its just fucked

No

Shut up init

Drugs

[sudden geyser]

one is a country and one isn't

[slender wagon]

Aaaaaa

Java

[sudden geyser]

If you plan on learning Java I recommend you check out Hyperskill

Taught me a lot of it

[slender wagon]

But the thing is if i find a company that uses nodejs i can get paid good

Since there is not many nodejs devs out here

Giv me sum $$$ and good advertsment

[sudden geyser]

what is this

[lyric mountain]

s!eval ```groovy
def getOr(var a, var b) {
return a ?: b
}

getOr(null, "abc") // prints abc
getOr(5, "abc") // prints 5

this see the similarity with js?

[lyric mountain]

my custom language I use for parsing arguments

[slender wagon]

Shushhh
