ActivityType not setting correctly

I made a command for setting my bot status https://starb.in/szWpne.typescript When I run the command for /botstatus type: Streaming text: test It get's set to Playing Console prints ActivityType: 1 which according to the docs, is streaming, but the bot sets itself to Playing When I do the command but for playing, it set's activityType as 0, but ends up showing no "Playing" or anything at all djs 14.14.1

i also tried doing this

        let activityType = ActivityType.Custom;
        if (statusType) {
            switch (statusType.toLowerCase()) {
                case 'playing':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Playing;
                    break;
                case 'watching':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Watching;
                    break;
                case 'listening':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Listening;
                    break;
                case 'streaming':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Streaming;
                    break;
                case 'competing':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Competing;
                    break;
                default:
                    activityType = ActivityType.Custom;
                    break;
            }
        }

        let activityType = ActivityType.Custom;
        if (statusType) {
            switch (statusType.toLowerCase()) {
                case 'playing':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Playing;
                    break;
                case 'watching':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Watching;
                    break;
                case 'listening':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Listening;
                    break;
                case 'streaming':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Streaming;
                    break;
                case 'competing':
                    activityType = ActivityType.Competing;
                    break;
                default:
                    activityType = ActivityType.Custom;
                    break;
            }
        }

Console prints ActivityType: 1 which according to the docs, is streaming, but the bot sets itself to Playing

that'd be because Streaming type activities require a valid twitch/youtube streaming url

When I do the command but for playing, it set's activityType as 0, but ends up showing no "Playing" or anything at all

well you have logic that would overwrite 0 with ActivityType.Custom due to 0 being falsey, and this matches the behavior you're describing however it's a little odd that what you're describing would be for if the log was before setting activityType's value but due to Custom not being the default activity type I'm inclined to believe that something is setting it to Custom, and this is the only spot that follows the described behavior side question, is there a reason you're not just using an integer option with each of ActivityType's members' values as choice values?

unless you can jsut do that with integers

duck•14mo ago

yes that is what I'm saying also I believe you'll encounter similar issues with competing type activities (or possibly they're just entirely not available to bots, I don't really remember off the top of my head)

radOP•14mo ago

competing works i probably did something wrong somewhere else or discord is jut choosing to not abide by their own docs maybe the bot just isn't losing it's status from what it was originally ill see tomorrow thank you for your help
