Coding

[astral harness]

Which is your favourite coding style? Or just talk coding.

@drowsy herald @rapid lintel Hai

[drowsy herald]

Ty Grindy

@summer trail

[rapid lintel]

omg thankyou

[summer trail]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[summer trail]

finna dump my lua scripts frrrrrrr

[drowsy herald]

I had to bribe Grindy

[summer trail]

/j

[astral harness]

I get to learn coding

[summer trail]

yall can see my unoptimized modcharts frrrrr

[drowsy herald]

I can show you all my bot commands and stuff I developed over the years

[rapid lintel]

im literally only at len for python

LMAOOO

[drowsy herald]

Wow send screenshots!!

I don’t like opening script files over the internet

[summer trail]

lmfao

use pc and look at part of it

simple

[astral harness]

Oo! Would love to see this!

[summer trail]

and now I shall lurk

[drowsy herald]

One moment gotta get back to my MacBook

@summer trail ever tried databases

[summer trail]

naw

[drowsy herald]

That’s like my favorite thing to do

[summer trail]

only thing i know is beep boop bap

[karmic gate]

Any type is good

[drowsy herald]

This is one of my commands

That I developed

It involved buttons, modals and select menus, and embeds on the UI. Then all the other work is on the backend

The buttons for the action, user information, and messages are really neat. Because I was able to store the user IDs locally inside the custom ID of the buttons. So it involved no database.

[astral harness]

This actually looks both clean and a smart idea.

[drowsy herald]

This was all in JavaScript

[astral harness]

Would the system flag if duplicates make their way in somehow?

@flint bison A new place for ya too.

[flint bison]

i been having to deal with my imaging project recently

To get that running on my Hospital's servers I had to chart it entirely from scratch

[drowsy herald]

Not really, I’ve been meaning to implement this into threads. Which would make it 10x more cleaner and manageable coding wise.

[astral harness]

Between the version you created the first time and this one, which version is cleaner in coding in your opinion?

[astral harness]

Oo! Nice!

[drowsy herald]

Right now it’s all going to a main core channel. Which makes it impossible to get specific user reports.

[flint bison]

I crafted two

[drowsy herald]

My objective is to allow that to happen with threads. Then I can track who creates a report then stop them from making a second duplicate report.

@crude kernel hello fellow coder duder

I would ping fluxpuck

however

[flint bison]

You will get eaten alive

[drowsy herald]

Yes

[flint bison]

Oh well

Not my department

Wait

I’m an Assistant Manager now. It is my department

[serene gate]

only coding I did was html if that even counts for something

[astral harness]

Of course it does!

I remember small bits and pieces of html & css.

[serene gate]

did a whole course on code academy

[astral harness]

Interesting. I never did that. Instead, I studied someone else’s coding, and tried to mimic it. This was years ago though.

[drowsy herald]

Much YouTube and much reading lol

I self taught myself that stuff

[serene gate]

crazy

[drowsy herald]

I was crazy

[serene gate]

[steady harness]

im learning python in school

lmao

[rapid lintel]

same

[steady harness]

w3schools website

its a W website for coding

[steady harness]

you can practice all languages

like not all

but motly all or the most common ones

html, css, js, java, python, sql, php, C, C++, C$

[crude kernel]

Hello there coder duder

Interesting thread, gonna be great to ask about stuff I'm learning and sharing what I've made so far

[rapid lintel]

learning loops rn n its confusing

[serene gate]

rip

[steady harness]

Hf

[drowsy herald]

Loops aren’t confusing

[steady harness]

for a beginner they are

not everyone is like you

lmao

[crude kernel]

How is it confusing

Or like what's confusing you?

[rapid lintel]

like the for and while loops

idk what im doing LOL

[steady harness]

yeah

[steady harness]

quite easy once you understand them

[summer trail]

Only loop stuff I know is while true do

and that’s all I know from Haxe coding for FNF source code

:p

[crude kernel]

Dear god

[steady harness]

lmao

[alpine crow]

Python & JS main here

Also web dev

Meaning html + css

And tailwind

[alpine crow]

Beware of people asking to paste one liners in your terminals, like this ||for(let i = 10; i >= 0; i = i + 1){console.log(i)}||

XD

[steady harness]

heh??

[alpine crow]

Infinity loops

XD

[steady harness]

oo

icic

[alpine crow]

They'll prob crash your terminals and possibly your pc if you're running them internally

So they do be bad,

Any infinite loop left alone running is bad

Sometimes people sneak those in their codes to prank people

[steady harness]

damn

understood

[drowsy herald]

Hello fellow JS developer

[alpine crow]

Hello hello

[drowsy herald]

You code discord bots

[alpine crow]

Yes but not professionally I have one for my personal use

[drowsy herald]

I used to professionally

Stepped off for previous reasons

Mostly because their API blows

[alpine crow]

Hmm

[drowsy herald]

Or did back then

[crude kernel]

Js fellows 🤝

[alpine crow]

Yea I feel you

I used to run on Google cloud cluster

[drowsy herald]

They change one little thing

And then your whole project won’t work

hahaha bs

[alpine crow]

Mhm

@drowsy herald and I logged all the error on discord too but I got like 50 error per minute

They update a package used in the bot and the entire bot stops working

Gosh the nightmares finding every file to fix, when you have like over 100 of them

[crude kernel]

Do they just straight up change function names or the way they work?

[alpine crow]

Both I suppose most of the time

[crude kernel]

Lmao wth

[alpine crow]

Yes so the process will most like go like this > go and read the updates on the package creators page or if the js itself got updated then go check that then check all the commands that got updated then come back to your project and find where you've used all those cmnds ( that usually means hundreds of different places) then update/change them accordingly

Thankfully it's not too frequent

[crude kernel]

Sounds like such a pain

[alpine crow]

And bro if discord changes their api or updates it everyone's kekd

And chaos everywhere and in everything in all bots across the globes

[crude kernel]

😂

[astral harness]

[crude kernel]

They also didn't really give a headsup to any bot devs about the fact that tags where dissapearing and that they should change that

[alpine crow]

IKR

TRUU

[crude kernel]

cause I saw mee6 just getting confuzed so long 😂

[alpine crow]

its vexing

[crude kernel]

I'm learning discordJS currently, don't know where to start exactly with what to learn but I do have JS basics

[alpine crow]

Devs also panic whenever this happens coz for them it's like their bot just gave up on life

Until they find out discord did something

[alpine crow]

Learn tagging and combinations with htmls and basic functions like loops and. String slicing

[crude kernel]

That should be their first thought at this point 😂

[alpine crow]

After you're done with basics learn about nodejs and packages and outer source codes that you include in your works

It helps alot since you don't have build everything from scratch coz that'll take wayy too long

[crude kernel]

I've kinda worked with NodeJS with building websites for school (even thought they kinda set the nodejs up for us) and I'm pretty familiar with slicing, loops and such but tagging sounds new

[alpine crow]

Tagging is simple just make a long source code of your own and copy and paste on projects then you don't have code much, just tag that specific functions that you use often and there's different tagging too where u tag html elements

Its like creating a recipe for everything you use commonly and whenever you need it you don't need to make the recipe again just tag the function and get the results @crude kernel

Its more for the personal use

[crude kernel]

Ooh I see

[alpine crow]

And you just have to expand it whenever you wanna add something new

Kinds like adding auto functions

And you won't have to code again

Just tag it whenever

Pretty neet

[crude kernel]

Yeah sounds usefull

[alpine crow]

It is

[crude kernel]

Might come in handy for next year college too

[drowsy herald]

It’s .reply

[alpine crow]

Coding is all about being as lazy as you could XD

Tell me if I'm wrong

[crude kernel]

Yeah true 😂

[drowsy herald]

Well not all of its lazy

There’s a semi decent creative aspect towards it

[alpine crow]

Yeah but it's 90% repetitive work

That's where the lazy part comes in

Make a giant source code and just tag it

Ez

[quasi verge]

Awooga

[drowsy herald]

I know with my bots I develop normally in teams of 2. User experience is like our main priority 99.5% of the time. We strive for that. So we take user surveys every other month to see what users think currently about the bot in general or just a certain feature. Then if we find a major agreeable response. Like “oh I don’t like these modals” we change them.

My goal is to have a fully customizable bot per guild by the end of year

Which makes me lazy 😂 because I don’t have to code as much. But it’s more creative

[crude kernel]

😂

[alpine crow]

Thats the input part, I'm talking about the development part where you make its functions , take for example you need to start a bot , you need token , client I'd chennel I'd server info and stuff but you have already have everything coded somewhere and changeable variables presets you only need to invoke the function and set the variables like CiD , CHiD , and you're good

You get what I'm saying?

Like the function would probably just look something like this > Connect()

With variables

And you're done

Doesn't it sound convenient?

[drowsy herald]

It does

[alpine crow]

Mhm and you would never have to type that 20 lines or more ever again for any bot in the future (and this was just an example with the initial stage you can do this with most of the things and just invoke functions whenever needed)

Just accept being lazy 😂

Coz I bet you have to make at least 10 js files per discord bot isn't it?

You can't jam every function in one file

[crude kernel]

Watch me Try and fail

[drowsy herald]

Strange for some reason this thread disappeared for me

[steady harness]

it did for me too

it does that for everyone

xd

[tepid star]

what kinda bots do yall make

[drowsy herald]

I’ve been doing multipurpose

Automod, custom commands, moderation, that type stuff

[tepid star]

ic

never made a bot before think I'll try it out

[quasi verge]

i cant even code

[steady harness]

lmao

[tepid star]

js devs when they forget to npm install

https://tenor.com/view/drunk-drinking-fall-scared-in-a-hurry-gif-12799806

[drowsy herald]

Me rn

[tepid star]

F

I'm gonna start making a bot this weekend

Gonna do the FCC tutorial

[tepid star]

Lul it's v12

[crude kernel]

Guys look

I did it I took the first steps :D

[astral harness]

GGs Zaka!

[crude kernel]

Tyty

[dapper peak]

Java is big garbage yet all uni classes use the language for some reason

[dapper peak]

Congrats! What kind of projects are you working on?

[crude kernel]

Ikr smhmh

[crude kernel]

For now just testing the capabilities of bots, for now I've made a latency command and a little text reading thing

[dapper peak]

Sweet!

[dapper peak]

Over the next couple weeks I hope to look into making web applications

[tepid star]

yea kinda weird unis use java

some classes i had allowed C

for my algos class we could use whatever language we wanted so i used JS

[dapper peak]

I think it is to show how the different data types interact with the computer but it is so freaking annoying how rigid switching between data types is compared to most other languages

[dapper peak]

I had a similar class that allowed any language because it was more conceptual compared to previous semesters. Though at that point, I had been coding in Java for over a year so I just stuck with Java over trying to brush up on Python

[tepid star]

it is also designed with OOP in mind so maybe that's a factor

[dapper peak]

Yeah that's true

[tepid star]

i used Java for my oop class

java was like the first language i was introduced to

i guess it was helpful for learning about polymorphism and inheritance

but its a pain to set up

and eclipse is garbage

[dapper peak]

Funny part is I used inheritence and extending objects for the couple of projects that they used to introduce the concept, totally forgot about it, and haven't really used that ever since

[tepid star]

yeah like the beginning java classes i've totally forgotten what i did there

i just had my oop class last sem so i kinda remember what happened

also probably due to the fact that 3/4 of the group i was in was useless so i did like 90% of the logic

and coding

[dapper peak]

Still sounds like fun

[tepid star]

yeah it was cool to see it all coming together

the group project was about designing some kind of schedule program for uni students

we did it all through the terminal

oh lel

[dapper peak]

Wait that is actually so sick! Is there a way I could see that code?

[tepid star]

so basically I just coded everything without testing it until the end

since no one was doing anything

[tepid star]

sure

its a huge mess

lmao

[dapper peak]

Wait, how many thousand lines of code did you write before testing? XD

[tepid star]

it was like literally all of the logic

because the people behind doing the display was so slow

it was a very meticiulous process of writing out pseudo code first and then putting it into code

[dapper peak]

👀

[tepid star]

then i ended up coding the terminal menu too lel

i'll send u the repo

[dapper peak]

Oh my gosh! Assuming your pseudo code is good, you should only spend a fraction of the time coding it out and then debugging

[tepid star]

yea man i was not in a good state of mind

it was like just me coding the logic and there was so much to do

didn't want to get bogged down in testing just yet

i had like two weeks to do everything

[dapper peak]

That's fair and that's the same time period I got to cram out a project but individually instead of in a group

Though the whole class worked together on the server when we got stuck

[crude kernel]

Can relate bro, I even had to help other groups because no one was competent enough

Hopefully they've practiced a bit, or atleast gotten into the coder mindset

[steady harness]

ggs

[drowsy herald]

@barren current

What’s your issue exactly?

And give me your discord.js version please

[barren current]

Im tryimg to code my discord bot to answer when I say ping.
There is no error with my code but my bot isn't answering for some reason.
I'm using repl.it and node.js

my code

index.js

const express = require("express");
const app = express();

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"]});

app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log("Project is running!");
})

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Hello world!");
})

client.on("messageCreate", message => {
if (message.content === "ping") {
message.channel.send("pong")
}
})

client.login(process.env.token);

[drowsy herald]

Are you on v13?

Or v14

This looks more like a v13 code

[barren current]

14. That’s why it dosnt wirk

Work

[drowsy herald]

hmmmm

[barren current]

Someone told me to add MessageContent. To [“GUILDS”, GUILD_MESSAGE]

[drowsy herald]

Do you have the correct intents enabled on the Developer dashboard?

[barren current]

Yes

[drowsy herald]

No, don’t do that.

[barren current]

Ok

[drowsy herald]

Alright

Put inside the messageCreate event console.log(message.content). The code should look like client.on(“messageCreate”, async(message) => { console.log(message.content) }

[barren current]

Ok

[drowsy herald]

Then run it, and type in the chat where the bot has access to view the channel and read message history

[barren current]

(Message) that going to be ping?

[drowsy herald]

No, it should just log whatever you typed in that chat

[barren current]

Okay

[drowsy herald]

Exactly as I have it here

[barren current]

Where do I put (“ping”)

[drowsy herald]

Just leave ping out for now, we need to determine if the bot is logging messages.

[barren current]

Oh okay

Smart

[drowsy herald]

I’ve done this a few times before

[barren current]

Okay code is running

[drowsy herald]

Alright type in any channel where the bot has access in

[barren current]

Okay

[drowsy herald]

It should log that message that you send

[barren current]

Umm

He’s not stopping

[drowsy herald]

Ahaha at least it’s responding. We just need to filter that out let me grab my pc real quick 💀

Kill that code

[barren current]

I did Lmao

He was freaking out when I said seven is god

[drowsy herald]

Your code should look something like this

As the result

And it should respond properly

[barren current]

Okay

[drowsy herald]

And make sure you kill any existing terminals, that’s how you get spam like that.

[barren current]

So the problem was that he wasn’t able to read messages?

[drowsy herald]

well it looks like he read them then, since it acknowledged you sent one.

[barren current]

Yea

[drowsy herald]

That code should give you the result you're looking for. keyword should

[barren current]

Um wait

Problem with client.login

[drowsy herald]

fix the token

[barren current]

Unexpected end of input

client.login(process.env.token);

I took ; off and still

[drowsy herald]

you dont have an env file.

pass the token in as a string

[barren current]

I used a secret

[drowsy herald]

Let me get back to you, it's 2am lol.

OOooh i see

@barren current you're missing a } bracket

[barren current]

Huh

[drowsy herald]

below the ending of the if statement

[barren current]

Oh your right

[drowsy herald]

if(message.content.includes("ping")) { return message.reply("Pong!") } })

[barren current]

Okay tysm

nooo

Still

[drowsy herald]

let me see the code

[drowsy herald]

yep add a ) after that bracket } on line 19

[barren current]

Ok

Huh

I had a glitch were it was writing on wrong line

Oh

I think it worked

[drowsy herald]

did it

[barren current]

:(

Bot is not answering

[drowsy herald]

my brain. 🧠

[barren current]

It’s so weird

[drowsy herald]

i gotta sleep, i'll see if i can help you tomorrow. :/

unfortuantely i think im the only one in this thread with experience in DJS

[barren current]

ah :(

Gn

I’ll be on at 1

[drowsy herald]

alr

[barren current]

@drowsy herald

[drowsy herald]

At work rn.

I’ll get back to you

[barren current]

Ok

[barren current]

Are you back home?

I found this btw

Oh can’t send links

[drowsy herald]

Not quite. I’ll be there in a few minutes.

[barren current]

Okay

[barren current]

Ok im ready I got Replit open.

[barren current]

?

[barren current]

@drowsy herald

[tepid star]

you're probably better off reading the docs or looking up some v14 tutorial

[barren current]

Everything works but when I say ping he doesn't answer.

[crude kernel]

Youy might have forgotten the "MESSAGE_CONTENT" intent

So that it can actually read the messages

[barren current]

It gives me an error. Someone told me that since it has been updated It’s no longer MESSAGE_CONTENT.

[barren current]

GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,

i think the new update requires you to write it like this.

[barren current]

am i right?

[drowsy herald]

Yes

[barren current]

Do I need to replace: if(message.content.includes(“ping”) too?

[barren current]

omg

i found out why

this was not activated

sorry for that. i feel dumb lol

[barren current]

Any suggestions for next thing to code for my bot?

[tepid star]

nuke

[crude kernel]

Lmao good work

It happens

Something you could do which is related to the ping, is to make a latency meter, if you make it as a slash command you can even get the badge if you want it

And if you feel like getting more advanced, you could try to make a bot remember something so you can scale off of that like give users xp per message and total that. BIG step up from basic things (probably) but could keep it in mind

[drowsy herald]

This takes a lot more experience lmao.

[barren current]

How do you get the badge. like once you activate / commands you get the badge right away?

[drowsy herald]

Databasing is not easy

[drowsy herald]

You have to implement slash commands in the bot, and run it and execute one in the chat bar.

[barren current]

okay ty

[drowsy herald]

And then you get a DM

Or something like that I don’t remember I got mine ages ago

[crude kernel]

That has changed yeah

[drowsy herald]

Ah I figured

[crude kernel]

You can request it around 24 hrs after registering and excecuting the first command at the dev portal

[drowsy herald]

And then you have to run them once every so often to maintain the eligibility requirement

[crude kernel]

Yep!

[crude kernel]

Yeah lmao

But a good goal to work towards

[drowsy herald]

Yes

If you’re looking for a good DB PostgreSQL is a marvelous one

Stay away from that piece of crap 💩 MySQL 💩

[crude kernel]

Stoopid college still stuck with that garbo

[drowsy herald]

It’s sooo bad

[crude kernel]

I think their trying to move to mongodb

but

idk

[drowsy herald]

Unreliable 💀

[crude kernel]

IKR

[drowsy herald]

MongoDB is decent

[barren current]

every month?

[drowsy herald]

I just prefer postgre over mongo

[drowsy herald]

Have you used mongoDB before?

[barren current]

Where do i request it

[crude kernel]

A little bit yeah

[crude kernel]

The same place you made your bot

or around the same place

[barren current]

okay

[drowsy herald]

Ah yes, I used it for one of my public bots in the past.

When I realized “hey! Wait a second, PostgreSQL is like so much better”

💀

[crude kernel]

[drowsy herald]

I pretty much rely on postgre for all of my projects now

[barren current]

if i verify my bot i could get another badge?

[drowsy herald]

Verification gives the bot a badge

And not you a badge

But you need 75 servers

[crude kernel]

Yep

Flux happens to be an early dev tho

so he did get a badge

[drowsy herald]

Yeah

Pretty much stopped after like 2018 or something

[barren current]

Flux has a verified bot badge

[drowsy herald]

Yeah flux is very lucky

[crude kernel]

Yes the early bird

[drowsy herald]

I think he almost ended up not getting it

💀

[crude kernel]

Yeah hahahaha

[barren current]

okay ima go work on / commands

[drowsy herald]

verified bots are really hard to obtain nowadays

good luck!

[barren current]

Thank you

[crude kernel]

Yeah gl!

[crude kernel]

Even Mee6 isn't

[drowsy herald]

If you have questions let us know

[crude kernel]

Wait nvm

it is

Was looking for badges LMAO

[drowsy herald]

LMAO

Generally speaking, it’s hard to verify. Because someone sure enough has already scripted what you have scripted

[barren current]

okay

[drowsy herald]

So it’s almost impossible to have a better feature 💀

[barren current]

[crude kernel]

You need a unique feature to get verified?

[drowsy herald]

Nahhh

You almost can’t add your bot to servers to get verified

Because a bot is probably already there that has that feature

[crude kernel]

Ooooh

Like that

[drowsy herald]

If that makes sense

[crude kernel]

Yeah gotcha

[drowsy herald]

I had one with 36 servers

And around 20,000 users

💀

[crude kernel]

Daam

[drowsy herald]

Yeah

[barren current]

should i make latency meter first or / command

[drowsy herald]

Ended up deprecating it because my development team got tied up with school

[crude kernel]

Both at the same time

[drowsy herald]

Why not do both! Turn the latency meter into a slash command

[crude kernel]

[crude kernel]

I see

[drowsy herald]

Also be careful with message commands, and make sure you have a good use case. Because you will need to apply to use that intent when your bot gets 75 servers.

[barren current]

can i put the latency meter in the ping command? or i got to make it seperately.

[drowsy herald]

I remember when this frustrated pretty much everyone @crude kernel LMAO

[drowsy herald]

Yeah

[crude kernel]

Hahahaha

[barren current]

okay.

[drowsy herald]

It was without warning

[crude kernel]

Not surprising lmao

[drowsy herald]

It was like “ok so today we’re gonna change to slash commands, it’s your problem now! Have a good day” 💀

The dank Memer developers were so flustered

[barren current]

it dosent identify SlashCommandBuilder

@crude kernel

[crude kernel]

Lets see

Lookinmg at the slash command builder docs it looks like you need to require("discordjs/builders")

[barren current]

okay

double quotes?

[crude kernel]

Oh wait it needs an @ before discordjs part

Doesnt matter, as long as it's a string

[barren current]

ok

("@discord.js/builders")

thats how you write it

[drowsy herald]

Yes

Like that

[barren current]

okay thank you

[crude kernel]

(maybe the . needs to be removed not sure but if it doesnt work try that)

I personally make the name and discription myself

[drowsy herald]

Yes remove the .

So require(“@discordjs/builders”)

[drowsy herald]

Ah you’re one of those people

[crude kernel]

Hey I can still change my ways lol

[barren current]

yeah i had to remove the dote

[crude kernel]

That's just how I learnt it so far

[drowsy herald]

lol fair, I do it that way too

I don’t like the Builder

But it’s good for beginners like Steve here

[crude kernel]

yep yep

[barren current]

it didnt work

[drowsy herald]

Yeah. I figured.

Make sure to you’re loading all of your commands into a Array and then pushing them to the REST

let me see if I have an example of this brb

[barren current]

like this()

?

[drowsy herald]

I can video call with you later @barren current and walk it through with you piece by piece

I can’t speak but I’ll try and help

Just this one time

I can’t spoonfeed you all the time lol. Because then it’s not fun

[barren current]

okay

[drowsy herald]

Sweet. How many more hours will you be online?

[barren current]

idk but ill be on probably till 5:40

[drowsy herald]

You EST?

[barren current]

yep

[drowsy herald]

Ahhh nice I’m the same

[barren current]

nice

[drowsy herald]

I’ll tell you what

[barren current]

will you be online around that time

[drowsy herald]

I’ll just screenshot how to load them onto the API and how to respond.

I won’t be im at work

[barren current]

really. Thank you

[drowsy herald]

Yw

I thoroughly enjoy coding so it’s a little therapy for me haha!

[barren current]

yeah haha

[crude kernel]

Hope I can reach that point, but like you said earlier spoofeeding aint fun and thats pretty much what I'm doing with most of my classmates

Tryna get away from that tho

slowly but surely

[drowsy herald]

lmao

[drowsy herald]

@barren current

1 time thing

[barren current]

Tysm

[barren current]

Unexpected token {

[tepid star]

U may be doxxing urself lol

[drowsy herald]

Yep get rid of the {

On line 25

[tepid star]

Ur name in the link

[barren current]

Okay thank you

[tepid star]

Also are you doing this on ur phone lol

[barren current]

No

Mabye

[tepid star]

U might want to remove the screenshot since ur name in it

Unless that's someone else

[drowsy herald]

This too ^

[barren current]

Ya i just saw that lol

[drowsy herald]

Be vigilant about that next time

[barren current]

Yup

Unexpected string

I tried putting d cap didn’t work

taking off s. Putting () around it.

[drowsy herald]

Dependencies

Should be the name

[barren current]

Dosent work

The error code is error parsing : unexpected string in JSON at position 509

[crude kernel]

Think you forgot a comma after line 24

[barren current]

Now it’s unexpected token

[crude kernel]

The comma is the unexpected token now?

[tepid star]

this is basic json formatting

you should look it up, pretty simple to get a handle on

[barren current]

Okay

The problem is that I have 2 scripts in my package.json file.
Chat gpt change my scripts into one.
Code:

{
"name": "nodejs",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1",
"start": "node .",
"deploy": "node scripts/deploy-commands.js"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"@discordjs/builders": "^1.6.5",
"@types/node": "^18.0.6",
"discord.js": "^13.9.0",
"easy-json-database": "^1.5.1",
"express": "^4.18.2",
"node-fetch": "^3.2.6"
},
"devDependencies": {
"node": "^16.20.1"
},
"description": ""
}

I’m getting error codes now.

Wich is weird bc I already have the required packages

I even tried installing them manually. Npm install @lone tokenjs/rest

…. Sorry for the ping lol

[crude kernel]

What if you comment out the "rest" part

So line 25

[barren current]

Unexpected token

“=“

[crude kernel]

On what line?

[barren current]

25

[crude kernel]

Oh lmao I meant the whole thing so the whole variable "rest"

and I think // can comment it out so you can just disable a line of code without deleting it

[barren current]

// is for notes I think.

What line do I put //.

[crude kernel]

before the const on line 25

[barren current]

Okay

Getting the same error code

Oh wait forgot to tell you it

Once I manually installed discordjs/rest. I got this code

And even if I tried installing discordjs/builders. Is till get this

[crude kernel]

ok now try manually installing the discordjs/builder

[barren current]

Should I try undoing this

[barren current]

Same thing

Dosent work

I also saved my old package.JSON script before I took chatgpt’s.

[drowsy herald]

This is not making sense.

Do you have any prior reading knowledge/experience with JavaScript @barren current, please be honest.

If not, there are plenty of resources out there, YouTube, Documentation, etc.. I would recommend you read up before you proceed with the rest of your development.

[barren current]

I do have some. Just not as much as you do

[astral harness]

I enjoy reading about what y’all are up to..Even as it goes over my head.

[barren current]

What I mean by this. Lets say that chatgpt’s script is not good I have the one before I took his.

[barren current]

And by this I mean. Before you told me to load my commands into a Array and then pushing them to the REST. I kept that command

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I’m still trying to learn coding/JavaScript.

[steady harness]

man

yall are too smart

(i think that cause i dont understand anything)

[barren current]

Same

[drowsy herald]

Im having so much fun

[drowsy herald]

wah

[drowsy herald]

thats so easy

Welcome to hell

For coders

nest

its not hell

its heaven

coding is love

Amen

How many of you would be interested in participating in an advent of code where I post a challenge in this thread and you all correct it

Reply here

Winner will receive $10 nitro

me

[barren current]

yikes i guess ill try.

hey guys im trying to make a afk bot but cant find any guides. could someone give me the steps what to do and ill figure out the rest please?

@drowsy herald Hey could you help me since your the best coder

[drowsy herald]

post

the pic

[barren current]

sorry of what

[drowsy herald]

wha

u said u need help

of

somth

[barren current]

im trying to code a afk bot but i cant find any guids for discord.js v14

[drowsy herald]

did u ask chat gpt

[barren current]

no

[drowsy herald]

then do

it will help u

most of the itm

[barren current]

what

i asked this

how to code a afk bot for discord using nodejs

he answered

Of course! Starting a resistance training program is a great way to build strength and improve your overall fitness. However, it's essential to ease into it to avoid injury and allow your body to adapt. Here's a 7-day workout plan designed for beginners. This plan focuses on full-body workouts and includes both bodyweight exercises and exercises with dumbbells, which you can modify based on the equipment you have available.

then he tells me the workouts

[drowsy herald]

Lol

U have no knowledge of how it works

?

Try watching yt

I'll help u tmr

In bed rn

[barren current]

i started coding bots like 3 weeks ago

[drowsy herald]

Okay wait

Tmr

[barren current]

okay.

[drowsy herald]

An AFK command requires databasing, so keep that in mind.

[barren current]

okay

hmm

my command works.. but once i type &afk im getting an error

repl process died unexpectedly: exit status 1

here is my code

const BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN';

client.on('ready', () => {
console.log("Logged in as ${client.user.tag}");
});

client.on("messageCreate", async(message) => {
if (message.author.bot) return;

if(message.content.includes("&afk")){
    message.member.setAFK(true);
    return message.reply("You are now afk")
}

});

client.login(process.env.token);

i asked chat gpt but he didnt help

[drowsy herald]

setAFK is not a function.

And it’s not of type GuildMember either.

That’s why I said, setting an AFK requires databasing. Because it needs to fetch why the user is AFK, if the user is AFK (Boolean), and when the user returns.

I wish it were as simple as .setAFK, but it’s not

[barren current]

okay thank you.

is database in all languages?

[tepid star]

That would be cool

[tepid star]

Also try formatting code using discord js code markdown

More readable

[barren current]

Okay I’ll try

[steady harness]

im supposed to make something in a python

at first i thought of a calculator

but the teacher said its gonna be too easy

and i wont be able to modify it much in the future once i make it

so now im planning to make something like the snake game

or snake and ladder

idk man

[barren current]

thats a good idea. you could also make some custom power ups.

[steady harness]

ye

[crude kernel]

If you can sure why not

Did you get any theme or something

Or just code anything you want and gl

[crude kernel]

Id be down

No one use GPT tho

[drowsy herald]

Haha I’m gonna make rules

[barren current]

I added message manager to my bot.

is there a way to make it where once i send !delete it deletes it instantly?

[drowsy herald]

you can fetch the messages from the channel.

and then filter and delete that message

[barren current]

Okay thank you

[barren current]

help

help

how do you rewind your last action/back button on replit

i did alt shift 1 on mac

@drowsy herald

[tepid star]

is it ctrl + z

this is why you use version control

[barren current]

Idk. But I got it back. On the bottom of the page there’s a history button.

[rapid lintel]

i gave up on python

and coding as a whole

[crude kernel]

Dam

How so?

[tepid star]

damn why

[barren current]

I’m trying to code a welcome message in a channel when someone joins but can’t find any guides.

Could someone help me?

[astral harness]

Isn't that more on databases?

[drowsy herald]

It’s the GuildMemberAdd event

no it’s an event on discordjs

[astral harness]

Interesting

[drowsy herald]

I’ll be back in a bit, I’m in a vc

[barren current]

I found events section but it was saying that something about the bot will have a lot of information

Or smt like that

[barren current]

Okay thank you

[drowsy herald]

client.on("guildMemberAdd", async(guild, member) => {
const channel = client.channels.cache.get("id-of-channel-for-message")

channel.send({ content: `Welcome ${member.user.tag}` }) 

[barren current]

Oh thank you, you didn’t have too send the command.
I could of search it up.

[barren current]

There was missing }) to the command but I added it

If I add my bot to another server but don’t want it to send a message on that server. Do i write the id of the channel?

In ```js
const channel = client.channels.cache.get("id-of-channel-for-message")

[astral harness]

Depends on the permissions you or the server owner grant your bot.

[barren current]

There both my servers

[astral harness]

Ok. Then, you should still be able to deny posting perms on Discord if you wish to.

[barren current]

Okay thank you

[astral harness]

Also, if you do that, you have to go through each channel you don't want it to have access through.

[barren current]

Someone joined the server but he didn’t send the message

And no error message

He has the perms to see that and to write in that channel

[astral harness]

Did you grant the bot embed perms?

[barren current]

Oh I forgot that one

I’m on mobile and can’t find embed perms

@astral harness

[astral harness]

Gimme a moment.

[astral harness]

Look for this section when you’re in editing the channel mode. May need to add your bot too.

[barren current]

Tysm

It’s not working 😭

@astral harness do you know why

[drowsy herald]

Hello nerds

Any of you know how to make a CI/CD pipeline? 💀

[astral harness]

Nope

[barren current]

Nope. Did you ask chatGpt

[drowsy herald]

Well of course

ChatGPT is very broad

[barren current]

Start by using a version control system like Git to manage your codebase.

Host your code in a repository on your chosen VCS platform.

Set up a build process that compiles your code and runs tests automatically.

Implement automated testing, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, to ensure code quality and reliability.

Store build artifacts (compiled code, binaries, etc.) in a repository
…

Automate the deployment of your application to various environments (e.g., development, staging, production) using tools like Kubernetes, Docker, or serverless technologies.

Manage configuration settings separately from your code to ensure consistency across different environments.

Set up monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, ELK Stack) to track the performance and health of your applications.

Integrate security scanning tools like SonarQube or OWASP ZAP to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities.

Use a CI/CD orchestration tool like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions to define and manage your pipeline stages and workflows.

[drowsy herald]

Bro 💀

[barren current]

:)

[drowsy herald]

I’ve already asked GPT

[barren current]

Mhm

[drowsy herald]

I already solved it

lmao

[barren current]

Good

[livid spear]

ayo

[livid spear]

h i yubs

here is my coding experience

i made a snake game for yuts

for her project

[barren current]

He has the perms in the channel

But when someone joins he dosent send the message

[steady harness]

we be doing string manipulation in python in school

teacher couldnt answer where i asked her where can these be used

[barren current]

I’ve asked chatgpt but nothing has worked.

I’m trying to code a welcome message for my bot but when someone joins the message dosent appear.

Is there a way to see if he reads that someone joined?

[livid spear]

it never does i tried it

[barren current]

Yep.

[drowsy herald]

It’s guildMemberAdd

not guildMemberAddIntent ☠️

[steady harness]

what game

im currently planning to make this

https://tenor.com/view/joshuathebeast9-snake-google-google-snake-speedrun-gif-20189736

[livid spear]

its the nokia snak game

yes that

[steady harness]

oh

im gonna make that too

in some time

[livid spear]

nice

i made it for @rapid lintel

[steady harness]

i got no clue as to how i can make this

[livid spear]

she asked me to do it

[steady harness]

damn

i see

thats nice

[livid spear]

you need to learn about tkinker

[steady harness]

i see

GUI library

[livid spear]

hmm

[steady harness]

man, im so used to js, i keep using js things in python 💀

[livid spear]

💀

[barren current]

okay ChatGpt said that was for V14...

still dosent work

idk what to do

[drowsy herald]

Well chatGPT sometimes can be like what something my professor has said before

“Trash in, trash out.”

[barren current]

facts

[barren current]

is there a way to see if he reads that someone joined the server

like what you did with the other code

[steady harness]

cant i make it using turtle

im gonna have to study about tkinker and turtle anyways

[drowsy herald]

somomne help me understand this crap

[drowsy herald]

JS?

yeah

discord.js

yes

[livid spear]

i think its 2d array

[livid spear]

yes

[steady harness]

ye

im gonna have to read about turtle too

[livid spear]

there is a lot of things you can do tbh

[steady harness]

i only found turtle on google

and you told me about tkinker

[livid spear]

tkinker is basically for gui

i used it to make calculator

the snake game have many ways to make it

[drowsy herald]

i would suggest use pygame for all those stuff

[livid spear]

i used freegames pip

[crude kernel]

I've used turtle and pygame before

Didn't do much with it though

[barren current]

idk whats happening. i opened my code and when it runs i get this error:

/home/runner/my-bot-project-2/node_modules/discord.js/src/rest/RequestHandler.js:201

@vivid quiver

welcome to hell

[vivid quiver]

thank you

Teach me how to code

now

[drowsy herald]

This is how I code but

[vivid quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/did-not-read-didnt-read-talking-heads-letting-the-days-go-by-gif-21389543

[drowsy herald]

[vivid quiver]

so anyways what exactly am I looking at?

I got ghosted

[drowsy herald]

A slash command builder and posting them to the API

[vivid quiver]

I see

[crude kernel]

But do you understand what you see

[vivid quiver]

No

hence I asked

💀

[crude kernel]

[hot stump]

@barren current

What’s up

[barren current]

Okay so

I cant leave

I joined using my pc

But I can’t have acces do my pc rn

[hot stump]

do you want me to disconnect you?

[barren current]

Yes please

[hot stump]

alr

i love coding btw

[barren current]

Same sometimes it doesn’t make any sense

[lunar hemlock]

Holyyy speedy you really are speedy

[hot stump]

frrr

[hot stump]

lmoa no worries

anywyas back to chat

[lunar hemlock]

Bro it took you like 1/4 of a second

[crude kernel]

Am I tripping or is someone sending and deleting things in here cause it keeps showing up as unread and then there is nothing 😭

[livid spear]

😭

[tepid star]

what did you send

[barren current]

Sorry the channel disappears of my pinned 😭

[crude kernel]

Aha xD

[tepid star]

it happened again

[astral harness]

Y'all know that you can still access it from the #1020839736492965958 area, right?

[barren current]

yes

[barren current]

I’m writing to keep the channel pinned

[crude kernel]

Good good

[crude kernel]

I love the AHA moments I get while learning

Just figured out what the assignment is supposed to do that we got

Jargon incoming

So we're learning about the Lists collection in our java classes and last week (or 2 weeks ago) we got a class that explained these, back then I didn't really get what was going on and I wanted to do the excercise but I couldn't cause I didn't understand

I watched the recording back a few times and then I got decided to move on to the next assignment which I could kind of do, it's about trains and wagons

I have to still finish that assignment but I decided to try the other excercise again and I could start a bit

And just now I realized the Train assignment is supposed to be a representation/visualization of the lists and help us understand it

So that was my Aha moment :D

Jargon over

[astral harness]

So happy for you Zaka!

[drowsy herald]

[tepid star]

nice

arraylists are pog

[steady harness]

@livid spear

actually ykw

ill ask later

[tepid star]

understandable have a nice day

[livid spear]

Fine

[steady harness]

@livid spear ok yes

[livid spear]

[steady harness]

so im using turtle to make my project

[livid spear]

alr

[steady harness]

i have yet to see how to make the turtle move when keys are pressed

but ill figure that out later

what i wanted to know about, was uh spirit

uh

spirit as in

image.

[livid spear]

what

i am confoosed

i dont fully know turtlr

[steady harness]

not exactly image, but in the snake game

snake cant be a "square" can it

or an arrow

wait no i meant sprite

[steady harness]

understanable

my question is, suppose instead of a circle/arrow/square, i want a snake

like

actually leave that, what about the apple thing

[livid spear]

oh

[livid spear]

let me see what i used

[steady harness]

.

timer, score, high score, all can be done

[livid spear]

oh i used a pip to get the snake

[steady harness]

i see

[livid spear]

ok i used square

[steady harness]

right

[livid spear]

there are many libraries

[summer trail]

Am I weird for having the idea to be able to convert most other games and mechanics into FNF in Lua

[livid spear]

what

[crude kernel]

Technically possible

Just pretty hard

[summer trail]

Indeed

[steady harness]

@livid spear in your game, did you make them move by arrow keys or wasd

[livid spear]

Arrow

[steady harness]

i see

alr

[tepid star]

What games use arrow keys still lol

[steady harness]

snake game

👍

[summer trail]

fnf

[steady harness]

LMAO

[drowsy herald]

You’d have to run that code as an administrator

[livid spear]

💀

[drowsy herald]

Also there are 6 bullet holes in a revolver not 10

[livid spear]

Everyone should know that

[drowsy herald]

im gonna start learning how to code

[drowsy herald]

Welcome to this epok thread

Nah

Sprintt 1 we still needed feedback on our design and we still have to receive their fonts and info

[drowsy herald]

I’m working really slow too lmao, I stop every now and then to test before I continue working

I was supposed to have 2 projects done last week for you know who

💀

[crude kernel]

Oh Lmao

I have yet to get a task

[drowsy herald]

Lmao, speaking of that

[crude kernel]

Probably better that I don't tho in the setup stage

[drowsy herald]

Oh

That Lmao

Yeah that’s a me problem

[crude kernel]

Ye

[drowsy herald]

I can make it a you problem

[crude kernel]

Then it would become an us problem

Cause I would mes it up
