How do I unregister commands to reregister them with updates?

get the command object from Discord and call .delete() but you don't have to do that if you're just updating a command you can just create it again

ShaunOP•2y ago

It's not updating

kord.createGlobalChatInputCommand("item", "Estimates a price for a given item") {
        attachment("image", "A screenshot of the popup when you hover the item") {
            required = true
        }
    }

kord.createGlobalChatInputCommand("item", "Estimates a price for a given item") {
        attachment("image", "A screenshot of the popup when you hover the item") {
            required = true
        }
    }

I'm running this and it doesn't update

g•2y ago

did you wait an hour before checking that? global commands can take a while to be evicted from the client's cache

ShaunOP•2y ago

No, ah I remember that's a thing... IIRC you can do it on each guild and its instant right?

g•2y ago

guild ones are usually instant yeah

ShaunOP•2y ago

How can I get access to all guilds we're in?

g•2y ago

kord.guilds current shard only I think you seem like you're writing a framework, are you sure you wouldn't prefer to use an existing one?

ShaunOP•2y ago

do I call that after .login or anywhere in particular? And wdym a framework? I'm just copying the docs

g•2y ago

ah, I see kord provides the protocol implementation, frameworks provide the abstractions on top for actually writing the bot and you'd have to call it after your guilds have been received you might be better off reacting to the guild creation event

ShaunOP•2y ago

kord is just a wrapper of the discord API, and there are other higher level frameworks built on kord that would make my life easier?

g•2y ago

pretty much yeah

ShaunOP•2y ago

Would you recommend any?

g•2y ago

I maintain kordex so I'd rec that, but there's a comparison table here https://docs.kordex.dev/framework-comparison.html

ShaunOP•2y ago

Is it well documented?

g•2y ago

well, that's the documentation site it's not finished but a good chunk of the important stuff is done

ShaunOP•2y ago

What's this? never seen this in my life gradle/libs.versions.toml

g•2y ago

that's a version catalog

ShaunOP•2y ago

Optional?

g•2y ago

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/platforms.html#sub:conventional-dependencies-toml don't ask me why this is the url it's optional yeah, it's just one of a few ways of specifying dependencies man those gradle doc urls suck lmao

ShaunOP•2y ago

g•2y ago

is that a linter?

ShaunOP•2y ago

Just IDEA

g•2y ago

oh yeah, mine complains as well odd, that's new

ShaunOP•2y ago

It doesn't like the newlines Wants it all on same line

g•2y ago

hm, odd, was fine when I wrote that no biggie tho, just remove the newlines there's a template here if you prefer https://github.com/kord-extensions/template

ShaunOP•2y ago

lmao this library is kotlin af I love it

g•2y ago

lmao, well that was the idea, idiomatic api

ShaunOP•2y ago

Okay so I followed the guide to register a command and I still don't see it How do I add to to every guild in this framework

g•2y ago

you want to add global commands to every guild?

ShaunOP•2y ago

Just for testing purposes rn, yes

g•2y ago

or, what, you want all commands to be guild commands?

ShaunOP•2y ago

It's just so I can iterate on the command fast

g•2y ago

if you're testing, I'd recommend registering all global commands to a single guild

ShaunOP•2y ago

Yea sure

g•2y ago

you can set a default guild in the application commands builder https://docs.kordex.dev/config-commands.html#application-command-functions you could do like

ShaunOP•2y ago

And it will automatically register commands to that guild?

g•2y ago

yep

applicationCommands {
  defaultGuild(envOrNull("TEST_GUILD_ID"))
}

applicationCommands {
  defaultGuild(envOrNull("TEST_GUILD_ID"))
}

for example

ShaunOP•2y ago

g•2y ago

or just hardcode it, whatever, you know what you're doing ah yeah I've seen this, one sec when it came up on the kordex server, it turned out to be a discord caching problem solved by kicking and re-adding the bot just checked not really sure why it happens, I wasn't able to reproduce it

ShaunOP•2y ago

Yea that solved it, thanks

g•2y ago

no worries

ShaunOP•2y ago

are there docs around retrieving attachments?

g•2y ago

in what context? like, receiving an attachment as a slash command argument?

ShaunOP•2y ago

Yes

g•2y ago

yeah, just add an argument for it have you made an Arguments subtype yet? for your command's arguments one of these https://docs.kordex.dev/commands.html#arguments-classes ah jeez, it autoformatted out my indents again writerside is pain sometimes

ShaunOP•2y ago

inner class PredictPriceArgs : Arguments() {
        val image by attachment {
            name = "image"
            description = "A screenshot of the item popup"
        }
}

inner class PredictPriceArgs : Arguments() {
        val image by attachment {
            name = "image"
            description = "A screenshot of the item popup"
        }
}

I have this

g•2y ago

that looks correct

ShaunOP•2y ago

So I'm guessing somewhere in my action I can grab the image

g•2y ago

yeah, arguments.image

ShaunOP•2y ago

😮

g•2y ago

lmao you can tell I beat the type system into submission with that one

ShaunOP•2y ago

When people try and argue java is a better language I'm going to show them this framework Can I do my processing in action {} ?

g•2y ago

you probably could do something similar in java you'd just need a lot more boilerplate yeah, it's a coroutine, do what you need you can always use a dispatcher if it's really a problem, but it should be fine

ShaunOP•2y ago

Does it get uploaded to a URL or do I have an access to the bytes?

g•2y ago

it has a url property

ShaunOP•2y ago

Gotcha

g•2y ago

I don't recall if we provide a quick download let me see

ShaunOP•2y ago

Can I group arguments or should I create a separate command with separate arguments?

g•2y ago

yes, .download and .downloadToFile or .downloadToFolder

ShaunOP•2y ago

E.g (IMAGE or (NAME and RARITY and ATTRIBUTES))

g•2y ago

you can use command groups if you feel like it'd make the UX better each subcommand would need its own arguments class though it really depends on what you think would be more intuitive for your users there's subcommands and command groups, https://docs.kordex.dev/slash-commands.html#subcommands

ShaunOP•2y ago

I want either

/price image_attachment:attachment
/price name:string rarity:string attributes:List<String>

/price image_attachment:attachment
/price name:string rarity:string attributes:List<String>

g•2y ago

discord doesn't really support that

ShaunOP•2y ago

I'll do it as separate commands then

g•2y ago

you could have /price image <attachment> and /price data ... tho so you'd define your root command as normal, don't provide an arguments class or an action block, and then use the subCommand builders inside it

ShaunOP•2y ago

Just curious, why do we have the set the name here? Couldn't you grab it from the delegate?

g•2y ago

in theory yes, but KordEx has built-in support for i18n, so you could eg provide a translation key for the name can't really have dots in a property name

ShaunOP•2y ago

Ahhh yes makes sense

g•2y ago

publicSlashCommand {
  name = "price"
  description = "..."

  publicSubCommand {
    name = "image"
    // ...
  }

  // ...
}

publicSlashCommand {
  name = "price"
  description = "..."

  publicSubCommand {
    name = "image"
    // ...
  }

  // ...
}

what I meant earlier took me a minute haha the type of the parent command doesn't matter if you're using subcommands it feels a bit odd but it didn't make sense to have a separate type for groups imo if you define checks on a parent command, they'll be inherited by subcommands as well

ShaunOP•2y ago

I feel like I'm taking the piss now, can you have "map" parameters somehow?

g•2y ago

key-value parameters? not really, no

ShaunOP•2y ago

Fuck

g•2y ago

container-based parameters don't make sense given how discord's done slash commands you could theoretically support your own delimiter and split on it with a string argument

ShaunOP•2y ago

Yea, would that work with autocomplete though It's pretty important from a UX perspective autocomplete is there

g•2y ago

you could make it work

ShaunOP•2y ago

I saw you can say its autocomplete prefixes

g•2y ago

you can provide an autocomplete callback that provides suggestions it's up to you what those suggestions are you have access to the provided value, of course

ShaunOP•2y ago

Oh really , is suggestStringCollection something you've created for convience?

g•2y ago

yes https://docs.kordex.dev/converters.html#settings-all-autocomplete the suggestion functions filter the collection based on the provided value and filtering strategy and then provide the matching values as separate suggestions

ShaunOP•2y ago

Oohh I have an idea actually

g•2y ago

you can have up to 25 suggestions

ShaunOP•2y ago

Can we do dynamic parameters? That would be mcuh better

g•2y ago

what do you mean by that?

ShaunOP•2y ago

Bare with

/price name:"Longsword" Damage:20 BonusTrueDamage:1
/price name:"Boots" MoveSpeed:20 BonusTrueDamage:1

/price name:"Longsword" Damage:20 BonusTrueDamage:1
/price name:"Boots" MoveSpeed:20 BonusTrueDamage:1

Essentially, based on the name parameter, other arguments become available, you would not be suggested MoveSpeed on Longsword, in this case.

g•2y ago

command registration requires you to specify all arguments and their types to Discord in advance unfortunately

ShaunOP•2y ago

And there are no conditional args

g•2y ago

no but by overriding a property in the arguments class, you can get at earlier argument values in the autocomplete builder for later arguments so you could, I suppose, have a bunch of optional arguments and then use autocomplete to tell the user the argument isn't applicable seems janky though you can only have 25 arguments as well

ShaunOP•2y ago

I could register each item as sub command?

g•2y ago

you could do that, but again, 25 subcommands

ShaunOP•2y ago

😭

g•2y ago

discord's command system isn't really made for this haha I suppose you could have separate commands for modifying each attribute but that makes things more cumbersome honestly maybe the kind of thing a web interface would be better for but that module isn't done yet /lh

ShaunOP•2y ago

Can I have a repeated argument

g•2y ago

there are no collection arguments for slash commands

ShaunOP•2y ago

That's surprising

g•2y ago

you'd have to duplicate it with a different name each time that's discord for ya you could probably collapse that into a list using a by lazy property I guess, still cumbersome though probably worth mentioning that there's nothing particularly special about the properties on your arguments class, you can add whatever you need there the converter functions (used to define arguments) add each argument to a list in the background, that's how they get filled haha I'm gonna be shutting down my PC now (it's late) but your IDE and the docs site both have searches if you need them tho writerside's search is.. not amazing. but it'll get you there.

ShaunOP•2y ago

Thanks for your help I'll see what I can do

g•2y ago

No worries, gl with it There's a separate KordEx server linked in the docs if you need that as well
