discord.js - Imagine an app•17mo ago

GuildMemberUpdate's oldMember doesn't have correct roles.

- [email protected] - Node v16.20.1 I'm trying to run some code only when a specific role is either added or removed. After just starting the bot; the oldMember will always only have 1 role (@ everyone). After this code has been run at least once (I assumed) the member will be cached and it can correctly determine the oldMember's roles.

const { Events } = require('discord.js');
require('dotenv').config();

module.exports = {
  name: Events.GuildMemberUpdate,
  async execute(oldMember, newMember) {
    console.log(oldMember.roles.cache); //oldMember only has @everyone role
    console.log(newMember.roles.cache); //newMember correctly has 3 or 4 different roles depending on whether the role was just added or removed.
    if (
      !(
        oldMember.roles.resolve(process.env.GREETER_ROLE_ID) ||
        newMember.roles.resolve(process.env.GREETER_ROLE_ID)
      )
    ) {
      console.log("Event doesn't concern greeter role"); // This gets run if the member isn't cached but the correct role was removed.
      return;
    } else {
      console.log("Event concerns greeter role") //After removing the role and adding it back this will be run every time from now on
    }
  },
};

const { Events } = require('discord.js');
require('dotenv').config();

module.exports = {
  name: Events.GuildMemberUpdate,
  async execute(oldMember, newMember) {
    console.log(oldMember.roles.cache); //oldMember only has @everyone role
    console.log(newMember.roles.cache); //newMember correctly has 3 or 4 different roles depending on whether the role was just added or removed.
    if (
      !(
        oldMember.roles.resolve(process.env.GREETER_ROLE_ID) ||
        newMember.roles.resolve(process.env.GREETER_ROLE_ID)
      )
    ) {
      console.log("Event doesn't concern greeter role"); // This gets run if the member isn't cached but the correct role was removed.
      return;
    } else {
      console.log("Event concerns greeter role") //After removing the role and adding it back this will be run every time from now on
    }
  },
};

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
  ],
  partials: [Partials.GuildMember],
});

this is the console output using ._roles. I know I'm not supposed to use that its just to have a screenshot-sized output haha

How would you suggest that I cache all the guild members on the server? Should I do that in my on(Events.ClientReady), or is there another smart way to do that? The server has several thousand people in it so would this be efficient?

Perfect! How many members do you think the bot would have to oversee for this strategy to not work anymore? its currently at ~7000

I understand that but the strategy of caching every user when the bot starts might become too cumbersome

const { Events } = require('discord.js');
require('dotenv').config();

module.exports = {
  name: Events.ClientReady,
  once: true,
  async execute(client) {
    await client.guilds.resolve(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();
    console.log(`Ready! Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);
  },
};

const { Events } = require('discord.js');
require('dotenv').config();

module.exports = {
  name: Events.ClientReady,
  once: true,
  async execute(client) {
    await client.guilds.resolve(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();
    console.log(`Ready! Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);
  },
};

could you just sanity check this solution and I'll mark it as resolved

that would cache all guild information (including members) for all guilds the bot is a member of, as opposed to what I did which will cache specifically only members in that specific guild?

yeah that's what im saying. I'm asking if your example will cache all guilds the bot is in and not just members in the specific guild like my example

I'm just trying to work out the specific difference between

client.guilds.resolve(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();
//and
client.guilds.cache.get();

client.guilds.resolve(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();
//and
client.guilds.cache.get();

which I think was your other example

ooooooh I think i see what you mean so there's no like real difference between the two

client.guilds.resolve(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();
//and
client.guilds.cache.get(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();

client.guilds.resolve(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();
//and
client.guilds.cache.get(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID).members.fetch();
