Discord.js: bot.setStatus won't display the game on discord

[hoffay]

process: function(bot, msg) {
bot.setStatus("online", "potato")

},

[invalidCards]

Setting the game happens with the method bot.setPlayingGame(String), e.g. bot.setPlayingGame("potato").

[hoffay]

Still doesn't work.

Make sure you are checking from another account, not the bot user account.

Also make sure you are setting it after the ready event, not before.

this crashes the bot D:

For future people, check to make sure you aren't using a 3 month old version of discord.js

This is probably because any guides googled go to an obsolete docs site at the very top, that is apparently represented by official discord.js team --

Should probably get someone to post a note at the top that these docs are old. Or hell, take the site down. The up-to-date site has almost NO examples, which is probably why you are seeing this. All the docs are scattered segments rather than actual-use examples like the other site has (that is old).

Much compared to looking at a dictionary to learn how to speak English.

I'll probably post this as a new issue.
