How do I add temprole to any user in an automated way using djs14??
I know I can use dyno bot or carl bot for it but I want to automate it. Writing my own temprole feature feels like peeling off skin from the side of my fingernails.
I tried to do this but it wont work for obvious reasons because carl bot ignores my bot.I know I can use dyno bot or carl bot for it but I want to automate it. Writing my own temprole feature feels like peeling off skin from the side of my fingernails.

- ✅ Marked as resolved by staffso do you have any code of your attempts to write this yourself?
the image above? yes that message is written using code that checks for a certain action, just that carl bot ignores my message
so your bot already knows who to give the roles to. at that point just add the roles via your bot and have some automated cron like jobs to remove them after the time, of 30mins in the screenshot, instead of using a secondary bot
I thought it is the same as me doing it manually, how would it be innefficient?? @Qjuh
cron job is like a thread?
Because any decent bot ignores other bots
they could atleast add a feature to make exceptions 😭
well first off you automated the command generation already and then try to pass of the small work left to another bot
idk how this is an effective solution (passing it to another bot that is)
no im not storing anthing 😭
yeah idk where your bot gets the role names from then
so i need to enter a key in a modal and if the key works then the bot assigns a temp role to user
problem with cronjob (like a thread or timer i think) i see is that if my bot goes down then it forgets to take off role hwne it comes back up hence database
and if i want to implement robustly this solution, i need to write another database system that tracks all this
the role names are hardcoded since they are specific to this "key" feature
i have no database solution implemented
yes they are actual roles that i want to remove from users after a while, like a temp access kind of thing
implementing sqlite is simple
is there no other way other than databases 😭 this is why im passing of this job to super efficient largescale god carl bot or dyno bot
yes but then if my bot gies down for maintainance or some other issue, people with the roles keep it
no if it comes back up you remove all the timed roles (of people who have it)
yes but untill it comes back up
also how would i mass remove roles? (its interesting)
