I'm making an announcement command for my bot and want it to go to the announcements channel automatically, then ping the first role mentioned and finally display the message.
For now I have it going to staff commands as a placeholder to get it working, this does not work or throw an error. It properly pings the role, but nothing after that shows up, even the "Debug". What am I missing. I've seen the channel part work but it doesn't for me, and I can't find a similar situation online for the message itself.
module.exports.run = async (client, message, args) => {
if (message.author.bot) return;
let prefix = config.prefix;
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return;
const channel = message.guild.channels.cache.find(c => c.name === '🚔｜staff-cmds');
let pingRole = message.mentions.roles.first();
let messageContent = args.slice(1).join(' ');
channel.send(pingRole, messageContent, "Debug");
This is what happens when the command is run
Try this channel.send(`${pingRole} ${messageContent}`)
The channel.send() function takes only two parameter "content" and "options" you can read more about it here

It's not sending a message, there are no errors I tried modifying the code nothing is working the bot welcome message still works I think that it's not updating with replit.
I tried modifying the code switching some stuff around basically doing stuff if I see any flaws I made.
client.on('message', message => {
// We'll want to check if the message is a command, and if it is, we'll want to handle it
if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
// Split the message into an array of arguments, with the command being the first element
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
// Check if the command is "privatevc"
if (command === 'Privatevc') {
// Check if the member is in a voice channel
if (!message.member.voice.channel) {
// If the member is not in a voice channel, send a message letting them know they need to be in one to use the command
return message.channel.send('You need to be in a voice channel to use this command.');
}
// If the member is in a voice channel, create a private voice channel for them
message.member.voice.createChannel({type: 'Voice'}).then(channel => {
// Send a message to the member letting them know the private voice channel has been created
message.channel.send(`Private voice channel created for you: ${channel}`);
}).catch(console.error); // If there was an error creating the private voice channel, log it to the console
}
});
This code is for Discord.js v12. If using the newest (v14) you need to use the messageCreate event instead of message. So the code would be:
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
You might also enable the MessageContent and GuildMessages intents.
IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent
To make it all work you need to enable at least the third option, as you might see in the screenshot.
I am new to Discord API framework.
ServerFROM is a public server that I was invited to (non-admin perms). Hence I cannot add bots there. But I can view the content in ChannelFROM (a text channel in ServerFROM)
I have my own ServerTO (in which I have admin perms and so can do anything). Inside of which, I have the target ChannelTO
I want to deploy a listener on ChannelFROM, such when there is a new message (announcement) in ChannelFROM, I want it to be read and reposted in ChannelTO.
Something similar to what is done in this Stackoverflow issue, except that I cannot have some script run locally 24x7 on my machine. Maybe use Github Actions or something similar?
How can I go about doing it? Any ideas are appreciated. Maybe some form of a server, or just a custom Discord bot
And thanks in advance.
you can use Custom bot for that. I dont know other way
here's how i do it
1st : We Get the ID of the Channel that you wanted to listen
2nd : We make a Output or where the bot copy the message from and send it
3rd : Bot required a permission to view the channel and send message
or in the nutshell ( sorry if im bad at explaining )
client.on("messageCreate", message => {
if(message.author.bot) return;
if(message.channel.id === ID_HERE) // ChannelFROM in ID_HERE
{
let MSG = message.content
let Author = message.member.displayName
let Avatar = message.author.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true})
const Embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setAuthor(Author , Avatar )
.setDescription(MSG)
.setColor("RANDOM")
client.channels.cache.get(ID_HERE).send({ embeds: [Embed] }) // SendTo in ID_HERE
}
})
you can remove if(message.author.bot) return; if you want it also read other bot message on that specific channel
I want to send a message on a specific channel. but the thing is my command should be like this +post CHANNELID message then it will post the message on this channel that I've put the id.
so can anyone help me to do that??
example command I want
This is pretty simple actually. There are a few things you need to do.
Separate the arguments
Find channel with first argument (id)
Send message to the channel with content of other arguments joined with spaces
This is a working example of your command
client.on("message", msg => {
const args = msg.content.split(' ');
const [, chanId, ...message] = args;
const channel = msg.guild.channels.resolve(chanId);
channel.send(message.join(" "))
})
I'm setting up a cron job to run a bot command that unlocks/locks a channel at a certain time every day. Trying to get the channel returns either undefined or null, depending on how I go about it.
The bot is added to the discord server and is online
require('dotenv').config();
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
const chan = client.channels.cache.get("858211703946084352");
console.log(chan);
const channel = client.channels.fetch("858211703946084352").then(res => {
console.log(res);
});
console.log(channel);
When I run it in the console I get
undefined
Promise { <pending> }
null
I have looked at many many examples and solutions, but none seem to resolve my issue
Edit:
bot has admin permissions.
I did the 'right click on channel and copy ID' technique, which matched the ID I got when I used dev tools to examine the element containing the channel name
There is a MEE6 bot in the server so I know bots can send messages
Edit2:
For fun and profit I deleted the app and remade it, same issue
I tried using a channel the MEE6 bot sends to, same issue
Try running this code in the ready event
client.on('ready', () => {
const chan = client.channels.cache.get("858211703946084352");
console.log(chan);
});
so, I am running a boy scout server and for it, I am making a bot. we have been struggling to get everyone's real name for better organization. the bot will ask for their name and they will type !name Travis_c. then I want it to store their discord username in a variable and send me a message saying trullycool => Travis_C. with that information, it would be super simple to change their nickname on the server. I am running into issues with getting the user who sent the previous message, into a variable.
my code is
`
case 'name':
name = args[1];
const channel = message.guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === "names");
user = message.author()
if(!channel) return;
message.channel.send(`${user} => ${name}`)
`
I am having issues on user = message.author()
I know if I want to reply to something I do message.reply but that wouldn't work in my situation. thanks in advance!
message.author is not a function so there is no need for () at the end of it.
