[ancient nova]

does it capture... the bot?

[lyric mountain]

Probably, u need to filter the bot off

[ancient nova]

I am checking if the one reacting it the mentioned user tho

weird.

[sharp geyser]

if it is capturing the bot then the filter is poorly done. It should only be capturing the new reactors

[earnest phoenix]

It's returning the edited message, because you're returning the return value of the <Message>.edit() method

[sharp geyser]

oh that makes more sense

[ancient nova]

yeah but it retuns it after the time has run out

I think?

[earnest phoenix]

It wouldn't even capture the bot's reaction at that case because the bot seems to react before the collector is even initialized

[ancient nova]

then what's the problem?? I'm really confused

[lyric mountain]

Can't u use breakpoints to debug?

Does js have a debugger btw?

[ancient nova]

I'm not coding it in an IDE atm

[earnest phoenix]

Try logging the challengeCheck variable, there's something else going on there, definitely

[ancient nova]

alright. give me a second

[earnest phoenix]

Yes, the debugger keyword

[ancient nova]

Collection(0) [Map] {}

this is what it logged

[earnest phoenix]

After reacting?

[ancient nova]

before, I think

[earnest phoenix]

I mean like did you react?

[ancient nova]

yeah

the user I mentioned reacted

if I react it shouldn't do anythign

[earnest phoenix]

Maybe you should try to see if the filter even passes in the first place

[ancient nova]

@earnest phoenix I THINK I KNOW

I DON'T HAVE THE GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS INTENT ENABLED

IS THAT IT?

[wheat mesa]

fuck dude this ecs is gonna be the bane of my existence

[earnest phoenix]

You literally need that to get and collect reactions

[ancient nova]

😭

why discord, why

[ancient nova]

💀 RangeError [BITFIELD_INVALID]: Invalid bitfield flag or number: undefined.

[hollow anchor]

BDScript bug?

[earnest phoenix]

Show the way you're passing in the intents I guess?

[ancient nova]

it works now, I forgot to add the .FLAG afterwards

[earnest phoenix]

You should honestly just learn a programming language and actually use a Discord API library to make your Discord bot instead of all of that, you'll have more fun with writing it the actual and real way while also knowing what's what and what's actually going on

[hollow anchor]

I don't have the motivation to. Do you know what's wrong with the BDScript?

[earnest phoenix]

The issue with Discord bot maker programs such as BDFD (and their templated language called BDScript) is that they usually get outdated pretty quickly and are updated after a long time as they also have to literally add the new features to their templated language, which is pretty time-consuming, and these programs usually tend to have lots of problems, such as lacking proper customization, freedom to design things your way, debugging what's wrong and what actually caused something to fuck up

They are also usually pretty unoptimized, it's honestly less of a hassle to learn a programming language and write it the right way

[hollow anchor]

once again I don't have the motivation to learn programming. Going into any course I only lasted 15-30 mins before dropping out

[sharp geyser]

then why try and pursue it in an easy way

[hollow anchor]

because it's easy

[sharp geyser]

but it really isn't

I meant to use easy in quotes

[hollow anchor]

It is easy to use

[sharp geyser]

It may seem easy but all the problems voltrex just described is there

[hollow anchor]

yea but no motivation as I said

I'm forcing myself into a program in college

[sharp geyser]

you can always hire someone if you have no aspiration to do it yourself

[hollow anchor]

I'd just copy code from a website then

[sharp geyser]

that isn't good either

[hollow anchor]

stack overflow 😩

seriously though does anybody know what's up

[sharp geyser]

no

[wheat mesa]

online courses suck. follow some basic tutorials to learn the syntax and such, then do a project that interests you

[hollow anchor]

no motivation. Which is why I'm forcing myself

[wheat mesa]

I don't think anyone here uses bdscript, it's pretty terrible imo

[wheat mesa]

if you don't have motivation for something then you shouldn't force yourself to do it

[hollow anchor]

I love the idea of coding but I don't wanna learn it

[wheat mesa]

I think you're going to burn yourself out more by using bdscript

[hollow anchor]

it's been a good experience honestly

[wheat mesa]

It's arguably way more difficult to get customized behavior with it than it is to just learn a language like py or js and do it yourself

[hollow anchor]

I think learning big programming is harder

[sharp geyser]

I think you are going to go down a rabbit hole of despair

[wheat mesa]

Not really

Any subject is daunting when looking at it as a whole

Taking it piece by piece is a lot easier

[hollow anchor]

It's still daunting

[sharp geyser]

Look at me, I am making a game in unity with little C# experience and it is turning out somewhat ok

[wheat mesa]

You're stopping yourself before you even try

[hollow anchor]

I have tried

I hated it

[sharp geyser]

Then programming just aint for you

which is fine

[hollow anchor]

I want to though

[wheat mesa]

That's... conflicting

[sharp geyser]

You want it, but you hate it

[wheat mesa]

If you hate doing something and you have the option to not do it, then don't force yourself

[sharp geyser]

that makes no sense...

[hollow anchor]

which is why I cling to bdscript

[wheat mesa]

It's like I'd love to be an amazing artist, but I suck at art and I hate doing it

So I choose not to

[hollow anchor]

ok

yes

which is why I like BDScript

[sharp geyser]

Well, I guess you will have to mostly rely on the documentation then

cause I don't think many people here even look at BDScript

I am also sure there is a discord server for the bot maker you are using which would be better at providing help

[hollow anchor]

ok

[hollow anchor]

there is but discord doesn't let me join

[earnest phoenix]

How so?

[hollow anchor]

I click accept invite but then it does nothing

[earnest phoenix]

You're probably banned from the aforementioned server

[hollow anchor]

I don't even remember joining it

[earnest phoenix]

You don't have to, people can ban users who never even joined the server; or if you're not banned then you've probably joined but haven't noticed

[hollow anchor]

why would I be banned

also I have 10 servers I can see I'm not in

[earnest phoenix]

How would I know? It's also possible that the invite you used is probably invalid

[hollow anchor]

no it has normal looking invite

Let me switch to an ALT acc

[earnest phoenix]

https://discord.gg/c3V7fhN

There you go

[ancient nova]

anyone know why the embed doesn't edit?

reacts delete, collector stops but the embed doesn't edit

[sharp geyser]

ok but where

you are doing all that twice

[ancient nova]

one is for winning and the second is for tieing

the last else is for normal moves

[sharp geyser]

ok but you didn't say where

where is this not happening

[ancient nova]

let m = await message.channel.send({ embeds: [createGameBoard(players[player])] });

[sharp geyser]

you are literally doing those three things in several places

[ancient nova]

wdym

[sharp geyser]

my g

you are editing the embed in several places

where is it not editing

it is inside an if statement so at which point is it not editing

[ancient nova]

in the first 2 if statements?

[sharp geyser]

My guy

Is it in the if or the else if or else?

[ancient nova]

the first 2, so the if and the else if..

[sharp geyser]

Both aren't going to run bro

are both of them not editing if their conditions are met?

Wanna know what, just answer this, are there any errors when editing?

[ancient nova]

there aren't

but I managed to fix it

now what should I do to make it look nicer

[ancient nova]

Unexpected token ":"

did I write it wrong?

[wheat mesa]

yeah you did

(reaction, user) => { filter(reaction, user), time: 30000, max: 1, errors: ['time'] }) ??

[ancient nova]

trying to get the reaction and the user who reacted, then create a filter based on that

is that wrong?

[earnest phoenix]

I literally told you that the awaitReactions() method doesn't accept the filter as the first parameter

And what you're trying to achieve there, you can just pass in the filter, there is no need to create an unnecessary function wrapping it

[wheat mesa]

even if it took a filter, that would make no sense

[ancient nova]

I see

[ancient nova]

I tried copying what you told me but I somehow ended up with that

how can I structure it in a way where it gets the reactions in there so I can create that collector?

[ancient nova]

so I decided to try buttons a bit

[sharp geyser]

Good

[ancient nova]

how exactly do I add a button to an embed?

[sharp geyser]

Action Rows

and you don't add it to the embed persay

[sharp geyser]

but it gets added to the message

[ancient nova]

fast response btw

[sharp geyser]

in the send/edit methods there is a components prop which takes an array of action rows

[ancient nova]

so something like this?

[sharp geyser]

I was in the server and noticed a message here

[ancient nova]

message.channel.send({row: [rockButton, ..., ...]});

?

I'm assuming you're adding it like an embed

[sharp geyser]

no

[ancient nova]

so how?

[sharp geyser]

let me pull up the docs real quick cause I kinda forgot myself

[ancient nova]

np

[sharp geyser]

Okay so

from what I am gathering it is

message.channel.send({ components: [
  new MessageActionRow()
    .addComponents(rockButton, ..., ...)
] })

[ancient nova]

let me try that

[sharp geyser]

assuming you made your buttons in variables

[ancient nova]

I have, I showed you a screenshot

how would I check if it's pressed tho?

[sharp geyser]

collectors

buttons, menus and modals all have collectors (unless they haven't added any for modals yet)

they function similar to reaction collectors and such

https://discordjs.guide/interactions/buttons.html#responding-to-buttons

[ancient nova]

does it work normally?

it says interactions

I'm not using slash commands

[sharp geyser]

Yes it will be fine

you can still use collectors even outside of an application command

i've done it before

just treat i as if it is message

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/Message?scrollTo=awaitMessageComponent

matter of fact

just use this

it is better than using createMessageComponentCollector

[ancient nova]

do I create 2 filters if I wanna collect the answers of 2 separate people?

[sharp geyser]

No

[ancient nova]

how would I structure that then?

[sharp geyser]

If you want to collect from multiple people and then stop the collection once you've collected the right amount then use createMessageComponentCollector

awaitMessageComponent() doesn't have a max prop

but that does

so you can set the max to 2

[ancient nova]

but how do I differentiate between the users

already have a dilema cause idk how to save both of those intercations

[rustic nova]

Can't tell you the code directly ofc, though can tell you how you could do that:

• store the message id of the Interaction along with the user id
• on an interaction, check if that's one of your interactions and if so, get user, then do everything else

[ancient nova]

and how do I disable buttons for certain users?

this is confusing

[sharp geyser]

You should be able to get the person who pressed it tho...

[ancient nova]

I'm boutto switch back to emojis

[pale vessel]

this makes no sense

[ancient nova]

yes, yes know

[ancient nova]

how?

[pale vessel]

if the interaction user ID is user.user.id they can press anything

not just rock, papers, and scissors

use customId.includes() && (interactionUser.id === authorId || interactionUser.id == userId)

[sharp geyser]

the user object or whatever might be a member object should be attached to the collected

[ancient nova]

so like this?

[sharp geyser]

idk ima tap out

it is getting late for me

I am holding my eyes open at this point

[ancient nova]

buttons are pretty hard ngl

collector.on is not a function excuse me?

[pale vessel]

that's for https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/Message?scrollTo=createMessageComponentCollector, please read the documentation

[ancient nova]

then how do I collect with awaitMessageComponent?

[rustic nova]

Don't think that's possible

[ancient nova]

it is, dank memer does that

[pale vessel]

check the user id

[rustic nova]

depending on what you mean with disabled, something like hiding/disabling the button or responding with an error?

[pale vessel]

for you, just add an else block after those if statements (also you'd have to remove the user check inside the filter or it won't work)

reply with an ephemeral message inside it

[pale vessel]

i've linked you the docs for it, please read the method name

awaitMessageComponent does not return an event emitter, createMessageComponentCollector does...

[pale vessel]

fix this too while you're at it

[ancient nova]

        });
    }

buttons are so confusing

[pale vessel]

set the style for the buttons

i'm assuming it's button.setStyle()

[boreal iron]

They trigger an interaction event like any other interaction, why are they confusing

[pale vessel]

and please read this

add parentheses, they're crucial

[boreal iron]

This.. out of your mouth, I can’t believe it

[ancient nova]

        const m = message.channel.send({ content: `${message.author.tag} vs ${user.user.tag}\nPick your choice.`, components: [ new MessageActionRow().addComponents(rockButton, paperButton, scissorsButton) ] });
``` invalid from body?

I'm literally

fucking

like why

???

everything is formatted correctly

I've been debugging it for 10 minutes

1 line of code????

[winter pasture]

Does it work when you remove the components? If it does, try adding one by one component until it fails

Not used DJS button components, so not sure

[ancient nova]

it works without the buttons

just with content by itself

I hate buttons so much

[winter pasture]

How are you doing the new MessageButton()?

[ancient nova]

        // Firstly, let's create our buttons
        const rockButton = new MessageButton();
        rockButton.setCustomId('rock');
        rockButton.setLabel('ROCK');
        
        const paperButton = new MessageButton();
        paperButton.setCustomId('paper');
        paperButton.setLabel('PAPER');
        
        const scissorsButton = new MessageButton();
        scissorsButton.setCustomId('scissors');
        scissorsButton.setLabel('SCISSORS');
        
        // Send the message with our buttons.
        const m = await message.channel.send({ 
            content: `${message.author.tag} vs ${user.user.tag}\nPick your choice.`, 
            components: [ new MessageActionRow().addComponents(rockButton, paperButton, scissorsButton) ] 
        });

like this

is it now how you're supposed to do this?

I managed to fix it

but

:/

[pine nova]

[winter pasture]

setLabel is the name that will be in the button

Oh you mean the error

client.on('interactionCreate', interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isButton()) return;
    console.log(interaction);
});

Are you listening for the button interaction?

[ancient nova]

I don't have interactionCreate event

[winter pasture]

https://discordjs.guide/interactions/buttons.html#responding-to-buttons

[ancient nova]

don't tell me you need that

then wtf is a collector for#

[winter pasture]

Lol. I realized I know nothing about buttons in DJS xD

[ancient nova]

    if (validation === "done") {
        const rockButton = new MessageButton();
        rockButton.setCustomId('rock');
        rockButton.setLabel('ROCK');
        rockButton.setStyle("PRIMARY");
        
        const paperButton = new MessageButton();
        paperButton.setCustomId('paper');

            // And now lets write a cool if statement to detect who pressed which button.
            if (interaction.user.id === message.author.id) {
                authorChoice = interaction.customId
            } else if (interaction.user.id === user.user.id) {
                enemyChoice = authorChoice;
            }
            
            // And now let's check who wins and who loses
            m.edit({ 
                content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${toProperCase(authorChoice)}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${toProperCase(enemyChoice)}\n\nWho won? Idk cause I didn't add that functionality yet.`
            });
        });
     }

I'm so

so

sos

so incredibly

confused

I don't even know what's the problem anymore

[boreal iron]

You don’t actually need the collector

Listen to the event and check for your customId

[ancient nova]

how?

please explain

[boreal iron]

You simply listen to the interactionCreare event

#development message

Like johan said

Check if the interaction is a button and if so check the customId

Then do whatever this customId has to do

[pale vessel]

they still haven't fixed the filter when i told them like 3 times :/

they don't read do they

[ancient nova]

I apologize I was too focused on fixing the interaction error

[ancient nova]

I don't wanna create a whole event for a simple interaction

[boreal iron]

Why not? Will this be the only button or interaction at all?

[ancient nova]

yeah, I'm definitely not planning to go through this again

buttons are no go for me

after I finish this I'll just stick to emojis

anyway ```js
const filter = (interaction) => ["rock", "paper", "scissors"].includes(interaction.customId);

so why does it say that it can't interact like I'm so confused

[boreal iron]

[ancient nova]

interaction failed

any button I press

it doesn't work

it's like the collector isn't even ther

[boreal iron]

You need to respond to any interaction

Without doing so an interaction will fail

[ancient nova]

yes I tried to do this too

            interaction.update({ 
                content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${toProperCase(authorChoice)}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${toProperCase(enemyChoice)}\n\nWho won? Idk cause I didn't add that functionality yet.`
            });

[boreal iron]

wtf is update() im not aware this methods exists

[ancient nova]

someone told me do that in the discord.js server

but they didn't explain so idk

[boreal iron]

This however is no reply

[ancient nova]

then how to fix that 😭

[boreal iron]

Must have been a total genius

[ancient nova]

indeed, either way then how do I reply to the intercation?

[boreal iron]

Hmm I see update() is a thing now

Well

It only updates the original message which includes the component

[ancient nova]

this is what I've done though

    if (validation === "done") {
        const rockButton = new MessageButton();
        rockButton.setCustomId('rock');
        rockButton.setLabel('ROCK');
        rockButton.setStyle("PRIMARY");
        
        const paperButton = new MessageButton();
        paperButton.setCustomId('paper');
        paperButton.setLabel('PAPER');
        paperButton.setStyle("PRIMARY");
        
        const scissorsButton = new MessageButton();
        scissorsButton.setCustomId('scissors');
        scissorsButton.setLabel('SCISSORS');
        scissorsButton.setStyle("PRIMARY");
        
        const m = await message.channel.send({ 
            content: `${message.author.tag} vs ${user.user.tag}\nPick your choice.`, 
            components: [ new MessageActionRow().addComponents(rockButton, paperButton, scissorsButton) ] 
        });
        
        const filter = (interaction) => ["rock", "paper", "scissors"].includes(interaction.customId);
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ filter, time: 30000, componentType: "BUTTON",, max: 2 });
        
        collector.on("collect", (interaction) => {
            interaction.deferUpdate();

            let authorChoice, enemyChoice;
            
            if (interaction.user.id === message.author.id) {
                authorChoice = interaction.customId;
            } else if (interaction.user.id === user.user.id) {
                enemyChoice = authorChoice;
            }
            
            interaction.update({ 
                content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${toProperCase(authorChoice)}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${toProperCase(enemyChoice)}\n\nWho won? Idk cause I didn't add that functionality yet.`
            });
        });
        
        collector.on("end", (interaction) => {
           // TODO 
        });
    }

[boreal iron]

Is it needed to await multiple button interactions or just one?

[ancient nova]

2 from me and the other person

I switched interaction.update to message.channel.send and it didn't send it???

[boreal iron]

An no interaction is logged in your collector?

Try to remove the componentType option and the two commas

Im not sure if BUTTON is a valid value

It’s probably required to be the component type as the api accepts it, which is (int) 2 for a button

[ancient nova]

I'll try

[ancient nova]

still didn't work

why..

[boreal iron]

Just show me the related code

And if there’s an error (or not)

[ancient nova]

        // And use the filter to create our new messageComponentColletor.
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ filter, time: 30000, componentType: 2, max: 2 });
        
        //Lets now write functionality for our collectors
        collector.on("collect", async i => {
            // Define the variables we are gonna change later in the code.
            let authorChoice, enemyChoice;
            
            // And now lets write a cool if statement to detect who pressed which button.
            if (i.user.id === message.author.id)

[boreal iron]

Please log and see if the collector does collect something

[ancient nova]

should I log I or the collector variable

[boreal iron]

Nope inside your collector

Log i

[ancient nova]

it logs it

[boreal iron]

Okay

What should happen once a button is pressed?

What’s the response?

What should happen once a button is pressed?

[ancient nova]

misread

            i.update({ 
                content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${authorChoice}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${enemyChoice}\n\nWho won? Idk cause I didn't add that functionality yet.`, 
                components: []
            });
``` this should be the response

of course once 2 people press

as stated in the collector

[boreal iron]

So it should respond with a message

Or update the original message ?

Which includes the buttons

[pale vessel]

don't u need to wait until both of them hv responded with a choice before replying?

[ancient nova]

it should update the original message do that

[ancient nova]

that's why I added max as 2

so max 2 people can press the buttons

and once they press it should send the message

[boreal iron]

So the original message (including the buttons) will show the content

Okay

And still the buttons?

[ancient nova]

the buttons will be removed since I updated the components to be nothing

but it doesn't respond with anything

[pale vessel]

then chick first before replying

something like if (authorChoice && enemyChoice) { ... }

[ancient nova]

that isn't necessary cause it should be sent in anyway

[pale vessel]

wait the variables are inside the function not outside

that's even worse, it'll always be one of them that's assigned

you're missing the logic

[ancient nova]

I want to die

why is this so hard?

[boreal iron]

Oh max 2 is the amount of interactions to collect

Lol

Thought it’s something completely different

Yikes

Yes then your entire vars and reply would be send two times

[pale vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/keyboard-anime-fast-typing-busy-typing-gif-17794708

[ancient nova]

wdym

what should I do

just tell me please

[boreal iron]

The error is valid then

Think of it like the code inside your collector will be called two times

Two times a button is pressed

Two times an interaction happens

Like a common event

[ancient nova]

it doesn't tell me anything

[boreal iron]

I mean it’s literally the same

[ancient nova]

I still don't know what to change or how to fix it

[boreal iron]

The vars you defined inside are nonsense

You need to define both choice vars outside

Still check if the user is the author or the enemy to set the values of the vars

Then simply do what Flazepe said

Check if both are existing and not null

If so respond

Which is your message content update

Which will then only happens once

You need to define both choice vars outside

Outside of the collector

[ancient nova]

        const m = await message.channel.send({ 
            content: `${message.author.tag} vs ${user.user.tag}\nPick your choice.`, 
            components: [ new MessageActionRow().addComponents(rockButton, paperButton, scissorsButton) ] 
        });
        
        const filter = (interaction) => ["rock", "paper", "scissors"].includes(interaction.customId);
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ filter, time: 30000 });

        let authorChoice = null, enemyChoice = null;
        
        collector.on("collect", async i => {
            i.deferUpdate();
            
            if (i.user.id === message.author.id) 
                authorChoice = i.customId;
            
            if (i.user.id === user.user.id) 
                enemyChoice = i.customId;

            if (enemyChoice != null && authorChoice != null) {
                await i.update({ 
                    content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${authorChoice}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${enemyChoice}\n\nWho won? Idk cause I didn't add that functionality yet.`, 
                    components: []
                });
            }
        });

like this...

?

[boreal iron]

My gosh do you know how hard it is to see stuff on mobile

Gimme a sec

Yeah

You don’t need to set both to null

But doesn’t matter

[ancient nova]

DiscordAPIError: Interaction has already been acknowledged.

why

then why does it show that error

why

[boreal iron]

Because you try to defer this now two times

You can only defer an interaction once

[ancient nova]

DiscordAPIError: Interaction has already been acknowledged.

still shows that

it doesn't update the intercation

[boreal iron]

Yes it errors when pressing the button a second time

You don’t actually need to defer this interaction anyways

The response will be sent immediately

[ancient nova]

I changed it from update to reply

[boreal iron]

Once the second button is being pressed

new error

but I never saw any new message pop up

[boreal iron]

Dude the method stays update() not reply

Remove the defer shit

[ancient nova]

wdym

[boreal iron]

REMOVE deferUpdate

[ancient nova]

ok

[boreal iron]

What else should I say?!

I told you 3 times now this is causing your error

If choice and enemychoice is not null a response will be send immediately

There’s no need to defer the button interaction

(which gets collected by your collector)

[ancient nova]

thank you

that fixed it

@boreal iron if I do i.update() before, just to notify the user who's pressed that it's been acknowledged

will that affect the buttons?

[boreal iron]

It depends if you just update the content the components should stay in place as they are

But I can’t tell you that for sure

Simply try it once then you will know

[ancient nova]

can I invite you to my testing server to try it?

almost everyone I know is asleep atm

[boreal iron]

Just change your enemychoice statement to match your user id to test it

[ancient nova]

:/

sure

[boreal iron]

That’s easier and faster

[ancient nova]

can I reply to a certain user and make him be the only one who can see the reply?

I've seen that done in other bots

[boreal iron]

No

[ancient nova]

wdym no? then how do the other bots do it?

[boreal iron]

A response can be an ephemeral message, yes but both can not get an ephemeral response if one is pressing a button

[ancient nova]

I don't copy, what are you trying to say

[boreal iron]

Afaik an ephemeral message can only be a response to an interaction

And a response can only be received by one pressing the button not by both

Also be more detailed please

What should be the ephemeral response to what and to who?

[ancient nova]

            if (i.user.id === message.author.id) {
                await i.reply({ content: `${i.user.tag} your choice have been acknowledged.`, ephemeral: true });
                authorChoice = i.customId;
            }
            
            if (i.user.id === user.user.id) {
                await i.reply({ content: `${i.user.tag} your choice have been acknowledged.`, ephemeral: true });
                enemyChoice = i.customId;
            }
            
            // And now let's check who wins and who loses
            if (enemyChoice != null && authorChoice != null) {
                await i.update({ 
                    content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${authorChoice}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${enemyChoice}\n\nWho won? Idk cause I didn't add that functionality yet.`, 
                    components: []
                });
            }

something like this

also how do I check whether the buttons stop working? I want to update the interaction to say that the game has been finished

[boreal iron]

Once you remove the components the is game is over or not?!

[boreal iron]

Oh that’s what you wanna do
Yes you can reply to the button interaction inside the collector with an ephemeral message

[ancient nova]

it is, but I wanna add a message if the users don't finish the game and the time runs out

should've specified better, sorry

[boreal iron]

Dunno how to check if a collector has reached its timeout

I never used collectors

Need to watch the docs, too

Maybe @pale vessel knows

I mean you can check if the collection size is, in your case 2

[pale vessel]

the end event?

[ancient nova]

wouldn't the end event just fire when the event ends

[boreal iron]

Maybe idk?!

[pale vessel]

no

and it even gives you the reason

[ancient nova]

also I just realized lol

[boreal iron]

collector.on('end', c => c.size !== 2 …

[ancient nova]

do I have to write this for every combination possible

this is gonna take a long time...

[boreal iron]

Oops lol syntax

Ignore please

You can also stop the collector manually by calling collector.stop().

The end event should be fired then I guess

[rustic nova]

Before you do that

Please don't do

if this && this
Else if this && this
Else if this && this
Else

[boreal iron]

Ah well nvm you wanna check if it doesn’t end

I didn’t read carefully enough this time

[ancient nova]

well how else am I supposed to do this?

[rustic nova]

One overkill way you could to that is by perhaps defining choices?

You could for example have a Combolist of choice : choice : result and compare it with that or smth

The if ones pain in the eyes, but work

[pine nova]

imagine not using switch case

[rustic nova]

With switch cases for example works too yeah

[ancient nova]

switch case is only like 0.1ms faster than a couple if statements

it doesn't matter much

[pine nova]

still faster

yk

[pale vessel]

i'd do what aurel said and have an array of patterns for ties and wins

[pine nova]

frfr

[ancient nova]

plus it's easier to compare choices if you're working with 2 variables instead of one, switch statement is primarily used when dealing with 1, contantly changing variable

[ancient nova]

I've done that with both my tictactoe and connect4

although this one may be a bit more difficult since the array I used for those were made up of numbers

and very easy to compare

[rustic nova]

Because it would be way cleaner to do it with an array

You can either definite the choices as enums or just use strings, of course making sure these would match

Also, you can short the first 3 ones with authorChoice == enemyChoice

``` did I mess something up?

it doesn't update anymore

[rustic nova]

You replied to it alr

Check where else you respond to it, you can only respond to it once

[ancient nova]

        const whoWon = function(authorChoice, enemyChoice, authorTag, enemyTag) {

        }
        
        collector.on("collect", async i => { 
            // And now lets write a cool if statement to detect who pressed which button.
            if (i.user.id === message.author.id) {
                await i.reply({ content: `${i.user.tag} your choice have been acknowledged.`, ephemeral: true });
                authorChoice = i.customId;
            }
            
            if (i.user.id === user.user.id) {
                await i.reply({ content: `${i.user.tag} your choice have been acknowledged.`, ephemeral: true });

                    components: []
                });
            }
        });

I didn't change anything

how come does it not work

[rustic nova]

You can do a followup on it to then later respond after the whole "sophisticated algorithm " is done

[rustic nova]

i.reply on the your choices have been acknowledged

[ancient nova]

                await i.update({ 
                    content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${authorChoice}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${enemyChoice}\n\nWho won? ${whoWon(authorChoice, enemyChoice, message.author.tag, user.user.tag)}.`, 
                    components: []
                });
``` this doesn't show up anymore

[rustic nova]

Is where you reply already, you then can't update it

[ancient nova]

huh

[boreal iron]

Errm nope

[rustic nova]

Nope?

[boreal iron]

You should still be able to edit the original message

[rustic nova]

Can that be done directly on the interaction through update?

[boreal iron]

update() edits the original message of the button interaction as I found out 5 mins ago

Didnt even know it existed lol

[rustic nova]

The message is ephemeral

So you can edit that to

[boreal iron]

His response to the button interaction is ephemeral-> the response not the original message

[rustic nova]

edit that too*?

Exactly

Ohh

[boreal iron]

The original message still is the one with the buttons

Which doesn’t change at all until he uses the update() method

[ancient nova]

well still why did the update stop working? :/

[rustic nova]

OHHH okay nvm then, was a bit confused on how they respond to stuff

Am 4head

[boreal iron]

But it seems like you’re still right

looks like Update and a response doesn’t work

[ancient nova]

so I must remove the i.reply? how tf did dank memer manage to do it then...

[rustic nova]

What's i in this case? The button response with the ephemeral message or the initial message

[boreal iron]

i is the button interaction the collector collects

[rustic nova]

Yeah then it won't work to update it, no?

Unless you can edit ephemeral messages once sent

[boreal iron]

Hmm I really wonder if you can respond but can not update the original message

[boreal iron]

But the response still has nothing to do with the original message which is the one with the buttons

This doesn’t change when pressing a button

[rustic nova]

So assuming the setup is the following:

/rps
send message with buttons
press button, send response in ephemeral with "your choice had been acknowledged"

Then once both did, it tries to update said ephemeral message?

[boreal iron]

ARGGHH AUREL

[rustic nova]

Lmao

[boreal iron]

It does update the message with the buttons

Not the response

When pressing them

[rustic nova]

Ohh the collector is for the message with the buttons right?

[ancient nova]

I'm literally dying 💀

[rustic nova]

Same, inside rn

[boreal iron]

Me too

[ancient nova]

but it works without th ephemeral message so should I just give up on that

[rustic nova]

I shall disappear and only respond to python stuff

[ancient nova]

though it do makes it look way mroe advanced :idk

[boreal iron]

Well let’s keep this simple, since it errors you can’t do it.

End of the story

[ancient nova]

at least it works

[rustic nova]

You could probably just send another message replying to the button message with the results

[boreal iron]

How about updating the original message with player X did his choice?

As content

Anyways it seems reply as response doesn’t allow to edit the original message at the same time

[ancient nova]

I will never ever try using buttons again

[boreal iron]

Since you can only "answer" with a single response OR send a followUp message which doesnt make any sense in this case

[rustic nova]

It's not the buttons, it's the fact that you can't respond to an interaction again

Which makes sense, but imo should be editable

I will disappear before I say something else brain damaging lmao

[boreal iron]

lmao

Tbh buttons or interactions are pretty nice to handle

[ancient nova]

no way u just said that

after all I went through

[boreal iron]

Once you have a proper handler and not just throwing stuff together randomly

[ancient nova]

😠

lies

[pale vessel]

well you can't expect everything to work if you just code without thinking how it actually works

[rustic nova]

I did initially start crying when upgrading this one license verification bot for a friend to buttons

[boreal iron]

You would cry if I show you how easy an interaction handler can be done and how you would use it properly

[rustic nova]

Python just has callbacks

[boreal iron]

The logic is damn simple tbh

[boreal iron]

Move on with your snake shit

[rustic nova]

Smh

[boreal iron]

Also

I will disappear before I say something else brain damaging lmao

[rustic nova]

Trust me, doing that on java

Is

May more

Brain damaging

[boreal iron]

That damaged my brain

[rustic nova]

Good, anyways yeet

[boreal iron]

[ancient nova]

if you do

send it to me

[boreal iron]

It’s simple, the logic is the same like people and I handle commands
Put them into a separate file as module
Read the files and cache them when initiating the app
Create an event listener for the interactionCreate event
Check if the interaction is a command or has a custom ID (which means it can never be a command interaction)
Then search the cache holding the loaded modules for the custom ID
Found it -> execute your code
Not found -> throw an error

Ez pz

Literally just a few lines of code

[ancient nova]

lies

if it were this easy i wouldn't have spent 3 hours trying get 3 buttons working

[boreal iron]

Well we have fixed your errors but I’m not sure if you understood the logical process going on in the background?!

What the collector does, how it works, what and how to respond to interactions at all etc.

[ancient nova]

I get the general idea of it from everything you guys told me and it functions similar to a reaction collector

either way I still don't get why replying before updating would break the entire thing

but sure

[boreal iron]

Well nope while the result is the same, it functions completely differently

It’s modular and dynamic and can be expanded while your collector can only be attached to one specific message

Which makes it static assigned to this message

The event will listen to any interaction then basically check if one of your interaction modules is supposed to deal with it or not

[boreal iron]

Well the reason is interaction can only be replied once, not twice
And updating the original message counts as reply (or the interaction would fail)
And responding with a message also counts as reply of course
That makes two, one too much

We just didn’t know update() is a legitimate response

Now we know

[ancient nova]

does not make any sense, then how does dank memer manage to do all which u say is not possible?

it can reply, edit, add buttons, remove buttons use ephermal etc

all I can do is 5 lines of basic logic code and update, otherwise it breaks with 10 billion errors

[boreal iron]

Well you can do all of this

But only as response to an interaction

Editing messages and their components can also be done without interactions

edit() on a message object still is a thing

[boreal iron]

I don’t know what it does at all or what you’re actually referring to thus I can’t explain it

[boreal iron]

Also you can reply to the button interactions and edit the original message

It’s possible and I never said it isn’t

But you can’t use webhooks for doing both

[ancient nova]

it's not, why else would it not for me then 😭 the code I wrote literally couldn't be simpler than that

[boreal iron]

If you wanna keep the ephemeral choice done message then i.update() would need to be replaced with

[ancient nova]

with what?

also I just noticed something strange...

[boreal iron]

You just need to edit your Message instance

[ancient nova]

doing message.guild.me.permissions.has doesn't work even if the bot has permissions

why?

[boreal iron]

m = your message including the buttons

[ancient nova]

it doesn't have a specific role with those permissions but the command is executed in a channel that specifically gives the bot those permissions

it doesn't make any sense

[ancient nova]

so what I've done before?

[boreal iron]

Instead of i.update() you simply edit the message instead of threatening it as webhook

m.edit(…) does replace i.update(…)

That’s all

[ancient nova]

I see

anyway

do you know why the permission thing is how it is?

[boreal iron]

Since a webhook response can still be handled as normal message at least when trying to edit/delete it

[ancient nova]

are you refering to webhook responses as the type of response that uses a POST request?

cause interactions aren't webhooks

I think

[boreal iron]

The response to an interaction is a webhook

(using the reply or followup methods)

[ancient nova]

I see

that's a strange method of doing this

[boreal iron]

No it’s not

Because the webhooks do not need a gateway connection

Discord receives your webhook and handles it

If your bot wanna edit a message, it needs to be connected to the gateway

[ancient nova]

bot -> webhook -> api -> interaction -> bot again seems excessive for a simple message update

[boreal iron]

To keep things simple

[ancient nova]

from my understanding the webhook communicates with the api and then returns data

why do that

[boreal iron]

Actually it’s this:

Client clicks button -> webhook being send to your app -> app responses with another webhook -> discord handles this response means they do something, eg sending a message

[ancient nova]

yeah and communicating directly with the api would be way easier

[boreal iron]

(without a gateway connection)

[ancient nova]

that's why I said that it's strange

[ancient nova]

even so

[boreal iron]

You’re communicating with the api directly

[ancient nova]

in a much more complex way for no direct reason

[boreal iron]

Discord (their backend) sends the webhook to you

Once a client pressed a button

You need to send something back

[ancient nova]

but I do kinda get why they're doing it

[boreal iron]

Or it says interaction failed

[ancient nova]

ye

oh that actually makes more sense now

[boreal iron]

To get rid of a permanent gateway connection, as socket connections die, crash, timeout, eat "much" resources etc.

[ancient nova]

as in you're creating the webhook yourself? you need to properly structure your response in order to have it be valid

[ancient nova]

:/

[boreal iron]

The structure is simply a stringyfied object you send as body (data) to discord (to the api) following the structure the api expects

Like to send an embed

[ancient nova]

LOL

[boreal iron]

The api expect a proper embed structure if you wanna send an embed

[ancient nova]

yeah

[boreal iron]

@split hazel shut up dingus

[ancient nova]

still kind of a strange way of going about that

making a button send an actual post request

instead of communicating directly

but I do get why they're doing that

[boreal iron]

Once a beautiful day interactions might be powerful enough to completely drop the gateway connections forever

[ancient nova]

why discord, why

if that day ever happens

idk

but

[boreal iron]

You need to keep one thing in mind which is the most important reason

[ancient nova]

it's not gonna be a good day

[boreal iron]

A socket connection is always open/running/listening even if technically nothing happens and to keep it running heartbeats needs to be send an acknowledged etc.

The webhooks will be send only if something actually happens and only then a response of you is required

This fundamental change reduces the traffic significantly and eliminates the need to keep socket connections alive

[ancient nova]

which, in turn will make it significantly more complicated

at least the way it is going now

[boreal iron]

Well handle and deal with webhooks is actually easier than sockets ?! Idk if i can say it like that

[ancient nova]

it's like saying make ur own handler for everything otherwise it won't work lol

[boreal iron]

I feel like most program languages come with an inbuilt way to manage http requests not with a websocket manager

Where’s Tim if you need him

To confirm what I’ve said but on a different level

[lyric mountain]

they do, else http libs wouldn't be possible

libs are just fancy wrappers around language innards

[boreal iron]

That was not what I meant

Built in natively

[lyric mountain]

yes, that's what I meant

Has anyone made a live stream chat bot for youtube before?

[lyric mountain]

yes, erwin

[pale vessel]

that was for twitch actually, unless it was also for yt

[rigid maple]

I'm confused and don't know what to do

I save the userIDs of the logged in users
and when these people go live I need to connect to their chat
How can I get live stream ids from user's ids?

[lyric mountain]

they did for yt too

[rigid maple]

i also need to know if people are on live stream

[rigid maple]

I complated the twitch part

now it's youtube 😃

[lyric mountain]

my condolences

[split hazel]

bro

what if i make a discord bot maker inside of a discord bot

mfs wont even need to leave discord to make a bot

[hybrid cargo]

I think something like that already exists

[split hazel]

then its not good

[lyric mountain]

ye, a guy here did that

Should I be using this when it comes to Java Programming?
https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/mHXFYViGIs

Or can I just use regular Visual Studio Code.

[rustic nova]

You can, but from my own experience isnt that good

you can use the community version from intellij for example

vscode works too though

[split hazel]

maybe youre not that good

[rustic nova]

istg I'm forced to use eclipse at my workplace

it is not visually pleasing

[feral aspen]

What isn't that good? Also, what is better, then?
Should I be using VSC or should I be using Eclipse?

[earnest phoenix]

do u guys have 3d stickman models i dunno how to make 3d model

No, unless you're an absolute masochist or a CS teacher

[feral aspen]

Well, what do you use when it comes to Java Programming?

[lyric mountain]

idea

https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

when it comes to java, NOTHING comes anywhere close to idea

[feral aspen]

You use this?

[lyric mountain]

...yes, I answered here

[feral aspen]

When should I use VSCode, then?

[lyric mountain]

for other languages

[feral aspen]

Fair enough.

[lyric mountain]

mostly with languages where a full ide would be too overkill

like js, python, lua, etc

idea can do all of those tho (except web stuff, that's only on Ultimate version)

[feral aspen]

I didn't understand what you meant by full ide would be too overkill?

[lyric mountain]

ides are very powerful tools, but sometimes you don't really need all that power, just something to quickly edit the code

[feral aspen]

Fair enough, now for the purpose of a tutorial, I'm just going to be following Eclipse then uninstall it and learn about Intellij application.

[lyric mountain]

not worth it, if ur following a java tutorial (not an eclipse tutorial) it's better to simply move over and resume there
java is java regardless of what u use to code

[feral aspen]

Alright, fair. However, I'm trying to find the Eclipse applications on the Apps & Features on windows to uninstall.

Oh, damn. It looks like there is no automated uninstaller.

[lyric mountain]

isn't eclipse downloaded as a compressed file?

[feral aspen]

Honestly, I have no idea. I'm following a stackoverflaw page and seeing what I can do, at this particular moment of time.

Search Results _ The #1 Discord Bot List.pdf

This is a pdf of results if you search "Truth or dare"

I'd like to know what kind of order is this?

[lyric mountain]

u could send a print yk

[spiral monolith]

My bot is the one with 14.496 servers

[spiral monolith]

I'm on my phone right now so kind of limited of what i can do

Anyway the point is

It's a simple search for truth or dare bots

If you find my doqn there

You'll see my bot has ratings, server count and votes higher than some which are above me so what is this order?

[near stratus]

top.gg search has been broken for a while

[spiral monolith]

Ah i see

[feral aspen]

Quick question, what does it exactly mean when it comes to compiling code?

[near stratus]

turning human readable code to machine readable one

[feral aspen]

However, why are we doing such in Java?
https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/zzjsjEVXgX

[solemn latch]

some languages dont need compiling, some do.

[feral aspen]

It told me to first do javac Main.java before running java Main? However, I can still do java Main without doing the first?

Why so, however? In addition, it created a new Main.class file?

[solemn latch]

If you've compiled code before you dont need to again, unless you make changes.

[feral aspen]

However, I did run the java file without compiling code?

Like java Main but never did javac Main.java ever.

[solemn latch]

did you run it using a button in your ide?
iirc some IDE's will compile for you

[eager moat]

Hello, I run a Dota2 Discord that is part of top.gg, many of my users have been voting for my server for several weeks. Unfortunately, even though we have the highest amount of votes, we still don't get displayed on the first search page for "Dota2" when users search. Is there something I can do to remedy this?

[feral aspen]

I'm using regular VSC for now since I'm following w3schools.com.

[near stratus]

@feral aspen this might be your answer

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54493058/running-a-java-program-without-compiling

seems extremely inefficient just typing the above

[lyric mountain]

transforming .java into .class

[feral aspen]

How is that useful?

[lyric mountain]

as useful as chewing food

computers can't read text, they read ON and OFF

humans can't read ON and OFF, they read text

how do u fix that? compilers

[feral aspen]

Oh, damn. How can I view the .class file?

[near stratus]

do javac Main.java

another Main.class would pop up

[lyric mountain]

you shouldn't, but u can find it in out/classes folder

[feral aspen]

Where's this?

[lyric mountain]

project root

[feral aspen]

Not really, looks like it modified the current .class file?

[feral aspen]

I'm using VSC for now.

[lyric mountain]

class files SHOULDN'T be touched by u

[feral aspen]

https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/Pr5Zp8Vthl

[lyric mountain]

they're exclusively to be handled by jvm

[lyric mountain]

I told u not to, yet u did

[feral aspen]

Indeed, alright, sure. I just want to see how it works, that's all.

[feral aspen]

I did it FOR THE SAKE OF w3schools.

[lyric mountain]

all you'll see is an assembly-like text

.class is bytecode

ides can usually decompile class files, idk abt vsc

[feral aspen]

Is the d really necessary? https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/PSnPeMGFFc

[round cove]

for decimal? yeah

[feral aspen]

It works without it, however? What's the trick in this?

[split hazel]

imagine having to explicitly specify the type of number you want

nevermind

[feral aspen]

I mean, it has its own greatness once I started learning Java.

[split hazel]

im guessing the d just makes the fact its a decimal number explicit

otherwise if you assign it to a variable of type double it will implicitly convert it

[lyric mountain]

double actually

[split hazel]

explicit = you make it clear the number is a decimal
implicit = the language takes a guess on the type of the number

[feral aspen]

Ohh, alright. However, isn't double doing the job, already? Why d?

[lyric mountain]

because compiler removes any slightly ambigous declaration

1.0 could be 1.0f or 1.0d

[feral aspen]

It's 1.0d cause of double, though?

[lyric mountain]

yes

[feral aspen]

double c = 1.0 is still same, however? I'm just trying to understand not debate, that's all.

[feral aspen]

Other than this, I feel like double already does the job.

[lyric mountain]

that when ur coding

but 1.0 is ambigous, even if java the language considers 1.0 as double

bytecode CANNOT have ambiguity

what ur seeing in classfile is a decompiled bytecode

when decompiling, it adds d because it is a double in bytecode

regardless of what's in left-hand side

[feral aspen]

Ah, I mean fair. It's best practice to add the data type letter, not sure what you call it.

The d in double c = 1.90d.

@earnest phoenix do you know where the source code for the nodejs crypto module is?

im especially interested in the x25519 algorithm

since openssl is difficult to work with because theres not much info online for working with it

[lyric mountain]

For double its entirely optional, compiler will add it anyway

Like js semicolons

I never really saw anyone explicitly writing d for doubles

Also note, unless ur doing very precise calculations, use float instead

It's half the size of a double

[feral aspen]

Realised all float numbers always are double unless you specify them to be float with f.

[lyric mountain]

For literals, yes

[feral aspen]

I tried something like float x = 1.2143245 and it didn't work due to the possible lossy conversion from double to float, so I had to add d for it to work.

Wait, no.

[lyric mountain]

U probably wrote int x = ...

Ah

Yes, u need to specify f for float literals

[feral aspen]

Yup, since all decimals get defaulted as double.

However, why that?

[lyric mountain]

Float isn't the default, simply as that

It has half the size and twice the speed for divisions compared to double

[feral aspen]

Fair.

[lyric mountain]

But the tradeoff is poor precision

[feral aspen]

Indeed.

What does that mean?

[split hazel]

double the precision 😯

[lyric mountain]

It means u don't do precise calculations with float, since things will go weird after 6 decimal places or so

[feral aspen]

Oh so I do something like double equation = 6 / 7 and not float equation = 6 / 7.

[lyric mountain]

You do neither

[feral aspen]

Waaat, then?

[lyric mountain]

That'd result in 0

U need to do 6.0 / 7

Or with f for float

Else you'll be dividing 2 ints

[feral aspen]

0 cause it's returning the whole number only cause that's how we specified the number that way?

[lyric mountain]

Compiler will probably understand what u meant tho, but it's good to specify decimals when using decimals

[lyric mountain]

0 because ints don't have decimal places

So it gets floored

As I said, for that specific case it might not matter since compiler will look at the left side to see what type it is

[feral aspen]

Ahh, so at the left, alright, that's what I wanted.

It looks at the first value, as in?

[lyric mountain]

But like if (1 / 2 == 0.5) is false

[lyric mountain]

It looks at the left side of the assignment

[feral aspen]

if (1.0 / 2 == 0.5) is true.

[lyric mountain]

It'll see double, so it'll treat it as double

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[feral aspen]

Fair enough.

[lyric mountain]

When doing numeric calculations the higher precision type will always be used

(1 + 2) / 3f / 2d

1 + 2 will give an int

/ 3f will give a float

/ 2d will give a double

Resulting value will be a double

[feral aspen]

Oh, so it will see double since 1.0 will default to double unless stated to be a float with f. 👍

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[feral aspen]

Hold on while I comprehend the rest, moment.

[feral aspen]

Oh, so in accordance to the type casting, you mean? Since when we talk about Widening Casting (Automatic), double is the largest type size resulting to that.

https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/XnWNE6y2Vg

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[feral aspen]

👍

Is the following code of Java the same as the following code in Javascript?

int randomNum = (int)(Math.random() * 101);
``` ```js
let randomNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 101);

[lyric mountain]

int randomNum = rng.nextInt(100);

rng being final var rng = new Random();

Save an rng instance somewhere and use it to generate randoms

It should be created only once btw, not once for each generation

But yes, yours will also work

[feral aspen]

var rng? Or is it int rng?

[lyric mountain]

Newer jdk versions allow right-side typing

Var will take the type of whatever is after =

THIS IS NOT A DYNAMIC VARIABLE THO

It's just to shorten written code

[feral aspen]

I didn't understand. Also, I got this error.
https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/dXbirI4C2k

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final var rng = new Random();
        int randomNum = rng.nextInt(100);

        System.out.println(randomNum);
    };
};

[lyric mountain]

u need to import Random

and it shouldn't be created in a closed scope

put it at Main level

public static final var RNG = new Random();

that way u can always do Main.RNG.nextInt() anywhere in ur code

[feral aspen]

Ahh, well, I can still use the built in Math object, right?

[lyric mountain]

u can, it's just that Math.random() isn't a very good random generator

it's a very basic pseudogenerator

[feral aspen]

Inclusive 0 and exclusive 1.

I mean, I can floor it with narrowing the data type with (int), right?

[lyric mountain]

narrowing

[feral aspen]

Narrowing, yes.

[lyric mountain]

yes you can

[feral aspen]

Or Math.floor().

[lyric mountain]

Math.floor() is unnecessary most of the time

unless u want to keep a double as double

since floor returns a double

[feral aspen]

How do I check the type of a value?

Is there some sort of typeof.

[lyric mountain]

instanceof

if (number instanceof Integer i) { /* use i, it's been casted to Integer */ }

[feral aspen]

I'm confused, could you give me an example of using instanceof in the System.out.println()?

[lyric mountain]

instanceof is a comparator

to get the class u do .getClass()

but it doesn't work with primitives, since they dont have a class

System.out.println(aValue.getClass().getSimpleName())

or System.out.println(aValue.getClass()) if u want the full classpath

[feral aspen]

aValue is what?

[lyric mountain]

whatever variable u want to print the type

[feral aspen]

So it works with non-primitive data types?

[lyric mountain]

yes

for primitives u need to box first

[feral aspen]

Example?

[lyric mountain]

(Integer) 5

[feral aspen]

I mean example like this, if possible.

[lyric mountain]

System.out.println(((Integer) aValue).getClass())

[feral aspen]

What's the use of instanceof then, you mentioned comparator?

[lyric mountain]

if u want to check if a value is an instance of a class

js has that operator too

[feral aspen]

Ahh, as in object instanceof constructor.

[lyric mountain]

yes

[feral aspen]

Alright. 👍

[lyric mountain]

but not constructor in java, the type

Object.class is a class, Object is a type, new Object() is a constructor

[lyric mountain]

ur supposed to use named channels not generic method names

like /general, /meta, /report, /team, etc

[proven lantern]

Sub-command and sub-command group option types are mutually exclusive to all other types
does this mean that i cant use the same option name for two different commands?

[sharp geyser]

I don't think that is an issue

as options are specific to the commands they belong to so I see no reason why discord would not allow same option names for different commands

[tepid canyon]

you can use the same option names for other commands, as well as differing subcommands of the same command

[proven lantern]

this command configs registers

this does not

[boreal iron]

you probably mixed sub commands and sub command groups in a way it’s not allowed

There’s an example in the docs telling you which combinations are allowed and which not
