discord.js@14.6.0, node v18.7.0

Well, connection.receiver.speaking.users returns the currently speaking users, mapped to the milliseconds since UNIX epoch at which they started speaking.

and connection is getVoiceConnection(guildId) from @discordjs/voice, right?

chewie 🌈•2y ago

yes

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

why is it returning undefined? by it i mean connection

    const connection = getVoiceConnection(bot.config.guildId) // bot.config.guildId returns a guild id
    setInterval(()=>console.log(connection.receiver.speaking.users),1000)

    const connection = getVoiceConnection(bot.config.guildId) // bot.config.guildId returns a guild id
    setInterval(()=>console.log(connection.receiver.speaking.users),1000)

        console.log(connection)
    },1000)

    setInterval(()=>{
        const connection = getVoiceConnection(bot.config.guildId)
        console.log(connection)
    },1000)

chewie 🌈•2y ago

because thats not how you make a voice connection?

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

how to make a voice connection then

chewie 🌈•2y ago

const connection = joinVoiceChannel({ channelId: channel.id, guildId: channel.guild.id, adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator, });

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

so i can only check if bot is in voice channel?

chewie 🌈•2y ago

well yes obviously

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

is there a way to check for without the bot being in a voice channel? i want the bot to check for the voice activity in multiple channels and this way i think it wont be possible

some guy told me to use the SpeakingMap, would that work?

chewie 🌈•2y ago

that is SpeakingMap

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

vaid, connection.receiver.speaking is a SpeakingMap...

chewie 🌈•2y ago

the bot needs to be in the channel to receive voice data

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

heck it, then i guess i cant make anty vc afk

chewie 🌈•2y ago

"anti vc afk" whats that supposed to be

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

basically i have a economy bot, and want to make it so you get money for talking in vc's, but i want to prevent people from just joining vc, muted and just there to farm money

chewie 🌈•2y ago

why are you trying to implement a feature that discord already has?

chewie 🌈•2y ago

once someone joins that channel -> disconnect them?

𝓟𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓚𝓮𝓫𝓪𝓫 | a.k.a Kebab•2y ago

so this feature will disconnect users when they are not talking for a certain period of time? nvm, i read the desc so i could you setup a inactive channel and ignore it thx @thehairy , you really helped me a lot
