Check for other music bots playing already

[TobiTenno]

Requested: Check if a speaking user in the voice chat a user is in is a bot. If so, warn the user or don't join the voice chat Configurable:

• Ignore that there's another bot speaking and join anyway
• Warn
• Don't join

What I mean: Before joining a voice chat to play music, check if there is a bot and if it is speaking. Marking this with a warning or not joining would help prevent accidental instances of multiple music bots playing in one channel.

There's no way to know if someone is speaking without joining the same voice channel. I don't see an elegant way of doing this. Most people just create separate channels to prevent this from happening.

[TobiTenno]

i'll check the docs on the jda library, but in the javascript library there is. we have several channels, but let users choose which room and which bot they wanna use.

I honestly don't recommend this thing, because of how ;;join works. As Fred said.

[TobiTenno]

Looks like there's a "getVoiceState" on the "guildMember" object http://home.dv8tion.net:8080/job/JDA/javadoc/net/dv8tion/jda/core/entities/Member.html

[TobiTenno]

What about how ;;join works would prevent this from working?

[knight-ryu12]

Currently ;;join is doing Just join. if you want include em, we need to change command too.

[freyacodes]

GuildVoiceState does not expose a method to tell if a user is speaking.

[TobiTenno]

I'll be more generic, then, just telling if it's in a voice channel would be enough, and just saying "there's another bot in there, just so you know"

[freyacodes]

To be honest, I don't really see the use of this. If a user is trying to troll the voice channel, moderation can step in, or mods can create separate channels.

[knight-ryu12]

Also we can move CurrentPlayer with Discord default thing

[TobiTenno]

except when mods can't separate channels cause perms and admins are inactive in a massive server XD it's more that the mods can't do anything about it, and admins are unwilling to lock them to channels, so users end up accidentally using the wrong prefix and bringing another bot in and having them both play at once.

yes, i realize it's more of a moderation problem then yours, but it'd be helpful, is all i mean.

[schnapster]

Just use ;;leave to get rid of FredBoat in your channel if you invited it accidently.

[TobiTenno]

right, but we'd also rather not have random people popping in and ;;leave-ing the bot when others are listening to music

[freyacodes]

This issue has nothing to do with the ;;leave command

[TobiTenno]

i know, i didn't bring it up
