it doesn't

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:04 PM

you're probably running somewhere

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:05 PM

that's why the guide includes the deploy script, so you deploy commands manually

AAmgelo you're probably running `ApplicationCommandManager#set([])` somewhere

yea but how does that work

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:52 PM

when i sync commands i dont have to refresh my discord app whenever i re run the bot

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:52 PM

but when i manually add commands i have to refresh it, since the commands added during the previous instance of my app no longer work

Kkishore yea but how does that work

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:53 PM

well, that erases all your commands

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:53 PM

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:54 PM

if you then call set once again but with your commands, then that'll set them again

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:54 PM

which is kind of redundant

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:54 PM

so by default if i create a command it doesnt get deleted?

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:54 PM

if i re run my bot

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:54 PM

well #set is simply an api call, it's discord who manages whatever happens

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:55 PM

yea so rn what im tryna do is

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:55 PM

manually make the api call myself

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:55 PM

and still retain the commands even if i re run the bot

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:55 PM

just don't set an empty array

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:55 PM

or even better only deploy when it's actually needed

Amgelo•7/13/24, 9:56 PM

eg when you change your command's data

kishoreOP•7/13/24, 9:56 PM

alr cool thanks
