getController was removed in JDA 4 so here I've found a solution for those, who are still watching this video:


Old: event.getGuild().getController().addRolesToMember(event.getMember(), event.getGuild().getRolesByName("Member", true)).complete();


New: event.getGuild().modifyMemberRoles(event.getMember(), event.getGuild().getRolesByName("Member", true)).complete();

Heres a bigger list (All of them)
String[] messages = {
"[member] joined. You must construct addition pylons!",
"Never gonna give [member] up! Never gonna let [member] down!",
"Hey! Listen! [member] has joined!",
"Ha! [member] has joined! You activated my trap card!",
"We've been expecting you, [member].",
"It's dangerous to go alone, take [member]!",
"Swoooosh. [member] just landed.",
"Brace yourselves. [member] just joined the server.",
"A wild [member] appeared.",
"[member] just slid into the server!",
"Ermagherd. [member] is here.",
"[member] joined your party.",
"[member] just joined the server. - glhf",
"[member] just joined. Everyone, look busy!",
"[member] just joined. Can I get a heal?",
"Welcome, [member]. Stay awhile and listen",
"Welcome, [member]. Leave your weapons by the door.",
"Welcome, [member]. We hope you brought pizza.",
"Brace yourselves. [member] just joined the server.",
"[member] just joined. Hide your bananas.",
"[member] just arrived. Seems OP - please nerf.",
"A [member] has spawned in the server.",
"Big [member] showed up!",
"Where’s [member]? In the server!",
"[member] hopped into the server. Kangaroo!!",
"[member] just showed up. Hold my beer.",
"Challenger approaching - [member] has appeared!",
"It's a bird! It's a plane! Nevermind, it's just [member].",
"It's [member]! Praise the sun! [T]/",
"Roses are red, violets are blue, [member] joined this server with you",
"Hello. Is it [member] you're looking for?",
"[member] is here to kick butt and chew bubblegum. And [member] is all out of gum.",
"[member] has arrived. Party's over.",
"Ready player [member]"
};

These videos are quite something, very entertaining and engaging hahah. Haven’t coded something in a while so this is a good way to get back into it.

[morsflattbrdoffisiell]

This is sooo much better than reading the damn docs. Great video!

[fiQmeister]

Dude it helped out so much. Thanks for doing these videos.

[sys.overflow]

Anyone here when it's still 360p? :D

[khalidnecron]

I have a problem with the bot.

everytime I run the code, the embeds repeat itself for numbers of time I ran code, with .clear() that don't happen but instead .clear don't allow me to update anything of the embeds

Hopefully someone will understand and will know what to do

Sorry for my bad english

[Sqwify]

sad how on every tutorial series ever the views decrease every episode from people giving up

[cezarlupu]

I did as you, but, when it comes to add a role, I have this issue: Can't modify a role with higher or equal highest role than yourself!

I don't understand why this hierarchical problem. I gave to the bot the permission to work as an admin and I gave to also the Member role. Could someone help me?

[swurvinq]

how do I make it go to a certain channel instead of the default one

[marvi]

thank you :)
I am looking for some kind of desktop notification for online and offline status, something like a toastr notif, do you know what do i need?
Great vids.

[radishmouse]

Use the following to add the role to the user:

event.getGuild().addRoleToMember(event.getMember(), event.getGuild().getRolesByName("ROLE_NAME", true).get(0)).complete();

This returns and adds the first role with that name, which is the role you want to add.

[valentinlorenz]

Hey, thanks for all your help! Is there a option to make these Embeds disappear after a few seconds if so could you do a video about that? Thank you

[flockenlp]

Thx for the tutorial!
I got a little request/question...
How do you get the Channelname the bot is in and how do you post images? I was messing around a bit and i managed to put a image in the embed but it only worked once, for some reason. Or it just takes really long to load... But if you could make a tutorial on that, that'd be great ^^
Or you could just give me a brief answer as a comment. I'd really appreaciate it :)

[ハロクレアチブスタジオ]

This fun to watch somehow, and your video is enjoyable, even though I already know what're you talking about.
Can you make more advanced tutorial? Like making cooldowns.
I already tried jumbling with making Command Core, and extends them to a bunch of commands. But the core itself can't set the cooldown properly.
Hey, thanks in advance. Good video, keep going! Try kotlin next time.

[zerohacks]

upload something to your gaming Great vid btw

[fallenbreak]

can you install a permission
that not everyone can execute the commands?

[rzzer]

Hey, i want to add a command for !setchannel for the member remove event. Do you know how i can make that?

[BroIamBro]

This is not working anymore (or at least for me) anyone can help me?

[hdfsyu]
