How do I do this?

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
- Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts.
- Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question!
- Explain what exactly your issue is.
- Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
- Show your code!
- Issue solved? Press the button!there isn't actually an endpoint for requesting voice states
you'd need to receive and store the voice states from the
GuildCreate event and track further updates from the VoiceStateUpdate event
then you filter by <GatewayVoiceState>.channel_id
if you're using /core, you'll want to reference and familiarize yourself with the discord api docs directlyHow is d.js then doing it. Also saving it somewhere to collect is as data later again? I mean there is a function/way to get every user in a voice channel
channel.members
yes, it's caching it in
<Guild>.voiceStates.cache
<VoiceChannel>.members exists in discord.js and is a getter that just filters cached GuildMembers based on their voice states
this is effectively what you'd want to do
then you filter by <GatewayVoiceState>.channel_idThen I am confused why I can retrieve users from the different channels. Even if the bot was restarted and the cache cleared.
Then I am confused why I can retrieve users from the different channels.I'm not sure why this would be confusing you just filter by different channel ids
Even if the bot was restarted and the cache cleared.in discord.js,
<VoiceChannel>.members relies on the VoiceState and GuildMember caches
GuildMembers are not cached on ready, but you may be fetching all members at some point in your code
for voice states, the GuildCreate event is emitted for each guild a given shard should be handling after connecting to the gateway, so VoiceStates are cached on ready
again, if you're using /core, you'll want to reference and familiarize yourself with the discord api docs directly
feel free to check out discord.js's source if you feel to need to confirm how discord.js is handling thisThx
I only use core to use discords data to use it from my bot on another appliaction/website etc.
That explains a lot. I thought the cache works like that on restart it gets cleared. But if it uses the other events to retrieve data for the VoiceState then it makes more sense to me
