okay so can you show me your package.json file also share your index.js file so i can see the code in its entirety

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

hide any tokens you are missing some dependencies

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

But my index consists of hundreds of lines

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

then share the section of your code where you start using voice related functions

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

also read this part https://discordjs.guide/voice/#barebones there are some extra but optional dependencies that you should try installing, for example @discordjs/opus

discord.js Guide

Imagine a guide... that explores the many possibilities for your discord.js bot.

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

im guessing you installed ffmpeg and added it to the path too right?

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

yes

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

Uploading now

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

libsodium-wrappers is one that i would recommend installing too, although you may have issues installing that one, but give it a try so at this point, what does the bot do and what what it doesn't?, does it connect to the voice channel?

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

I got an error downloading the sodium module and could not download it

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

what does the error say?

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

Yes, it connects to the audio channel, but it doesn't play anything, it just stops and waits The libsodium-wrappers module downloaded without any problems

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

ah okay good so as the guide says, you should've at least have one of the encryption libraries installed to use voice in this case you installed libsodium-wrappers so try to play music now

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

My pc is bad sorry

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

okay we will need to do some debugging here i need you to paste these pieces of code in your script

connection.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
    console.log(`Connection transitioned from ${oldState.status} to ${newState.status}`);
});

player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
    console.log(`Audio player transitioned from ${oldState.status} to ${newState.status}`);
});

connection.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
    console.log(`Connection transitioned from ${oldState.status} to ${newState.status}`);
});

player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
    console.log(`Audio player transitioned from ${oldState.status} to ${newState.status}`);
});

then test your bot again disconnect it first

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

Trying right away

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

then run it just paste them right below your player.play call

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

wrote very long articles 😅

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

try to find the beginning of it and send it like the first 10 lines or something or a screenshot of the entire terminal

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

okay and how it ends?

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

It seemed to go on forever, after 5 seconds i closed it myself from the terminal

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

alright, the bot is connecting to voice succesfully you are having trouble with the audio resource how long is this mp3?

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

7 sec

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

there is a slight chance of the audioresource ending before your bot is ready to play it so lets try the following

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

But how can i prevent it?

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

thats where im going at listen to this event

connection.on(VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, () => {
    console.log('The connection has entered the Ready state - ready to play audio!');
});

connection.on(VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, () => {
    console.log('The connection has entered the Ready state - ready to play audio!');
});

inside there, call player.play(resource) this will start playing the resource once your bot is connected and ready to transmit audio not before

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

Is it right to do it this way?

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

sure, but preferably you would put that at the end but it should work either way make sure to import VoiceConnectionStatus

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

Isn't that right import?

const { joinVoiceChannel, createAudioResource, createAudioPlayer, VoiceConnectionStatus } = require('@discordjs/voice');

const { joinVoiceChannel, createAudioResource, createAudioPlayer, VoiceConnectionStatus } = require('@discordjs/voice');

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

yes

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

It gave this warning and the bot didn't say anything

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

connection.subscribe(player); what does this saturation do? Ohh reaally?? when i put this line inside ready, it worked ohhhh

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

pretty sure this is the thing that makes the audio player play things through the connection yea it worked because your mp3 is too short, it was probably ending before your bot was ready to transmit audio

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

Thank you very much for your kalps

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

the memory leak thing tho not sure, you should put some other checks in your code so this code doesn't run too frequently you can also change that bit for this await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 20_000) you have to make the event async though to use await this is the promisified version of connection.on(VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, () ), you need to pass it the connection, the state you are waiting for, and how long to wait for it or throw an error otherwise

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

should I delete this part in ss and write await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 20_000)

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

or only i delete line 60

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

you can if you want but its not really necessary if you are okay working with that. You would also have to handle the promise rejection of it in case your bot can't reach the ready state okay so if you want to replace that for the promise, you have to delete line 60 and 63 then use this await entersState(connection, VoiceConnectionStatus.Ready, 20_000) and below this you call player.play and connection.subscribe

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

I should import entersState, right?

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

Yes Your code right now is kind of unsafe you should change this at some point and make your bot connect to the voice channel through a command not when it receives a VoiceStateUpdate thats probably why you got the memory leak warning

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

School starts in 6 hours, I have to go to bed. Thank you very much for your help kalps

ShompiFlen•15mo ago

ZeKeOP•15mo ago

I did this command in the past when i was trying this system, i guess it's your night too. Good night, i am going to bed 🛏️ Thanks again for your help :)

ZeKeOP•15mo ago
