requestSoundboardSounds()​

Defined in: gateway/src/manager.ts:876

This function sends multiple (see remarks) Request Soundboard Sounds gateway command over the gateway behind the scenes.

Parameters​

guildIds​

BigString[]

The guilds to get the sounds from

Returns​

Promise<void>

Remarks​

Fires a Soundboard Sounds gateway event.

⚠️ Discord will send the Soundboard Sounds for each of the guild ids however you may not receive the same number of events as the ids passed to Request Soundboard Sounds for one of the following reasons:

  • The bot is not in the server provided
  • The shard the message has been sent from does not receive events for the specified guild

To avoid this Discordeno will automatically try to group the ids based on what shard they will need to be sent, but this involves sending multiple messages in multiple shards

See​

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway-events#request-soundboard-sounds

resharding​

resharding: object & object

Defined in: gateway/src/manager.ts:750

shardsFullPercentage​

shardsFullPercentage: number

The % of how full a shard is when resharding should be triggered.

Remarks​

We use discord recommended shard value to get an approximation of the shard full percentage to compare with this value so the bot may not reshard at the exact percentage provided but may reshard when it is a bit higher than the provided percentage. For accurate calculation, you may override the checkIfReshardingIsNeeded function

Default​
80 as in 80%
