I have been locking for a long time on how to get a user's role so I can set permissions for commands. This is my code. I am using Discord.NET in the newer version.
using Discord.Commands;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace AmberScript2.Modules
{
public class Kick : ModuleBase<SocketCommandContext>
{
[Command("kick")]
public async Task KickUser(string userName)
{
if (Context.Guild.GetRole(Context.Message.Author.Id).Name == "Administrator")
{
await Context.Channel.SendMessageAsync("Success!");
}
else
{
await Context.Channel.SendMessageAsync("Inadequate permisions.");
}
}
}
}
The error i am getting is object reference not set to an instance of an object. I have been trying to find the source of it and i can't. Thanks.
(And yes i have yet to get rid of excess usings. This code isn't done yet.)
If you want to try to get a role of the user, try using SocketGuildUser instead of a string. (Use var role = (user as IGuildUser).Guild.Roles.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "Role");)
using Discord.Commands;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace AmberScript2.Modules
{
public class Kick : ModuleBase<SocketCommandContext>
{
[Command("kick")]
public async Task KickUser(SocketGuildUser userName)
{
var user = Context.User as SocketGuildUser;
var role = (user as IGuildUser).Guild.Roles.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "Role");
if (!userName.Roles.Contains(role))
{
// Do Stuff
if (user.GuildPermissions.KickMembers)
{
await userName.KickAsync();
}
}
}
}
}
That is most of my code for kicking.
