basically what im trynna do here is if u have used carl bot you may know you can make it so on a message(for example a ping) it would react with message of ur choice, I'm trynna basically do that and heres what ive tried
if (lowerCaseMessage === messagetoReact) {
message.react('🐧')
}
and in my config file
"messagestoReact" : ["<#729795837223501834>"]
something like that, i have declared everything and made it like a on message thing, but it doesnt quite work, any one know a fix and if you need me to specify anything feel free to ask
I'm not sure what you're asking?Here's the way to get your bot to react to a message:
client.on('message', async message => {
if (message.content === '<#729795837223501834>') {
message.react('🐧');
}
})

I need to check if a message sent by user contains emojis because my database can't store this type of data. So I thought that I'll use a message.content.match() or message.content.includes() but when I use it, it still is not enough. I was thinking about making something like blacklist but for emojis and then I realized that I need to save a blacklist of all emojis so I gave up on that. My question for you is, do you know any easier way to make this? I was searching for solution to my problem but I didn't find anything.
Thank you a lot for any help.
if(message.author.id!='botid' && message.author.id===userdbId && message.content.match(/<a?:.+?:\d+>/)){
const name = args.join(" ");
const username = name.slice(0);
conn.query(`UPDATE users SET ignick='`+username+`' WHERE userID='${message.author.id}'`);
console.log(username);
message.channel.send("success message");
conn.end(err => {
if(err){
throw error;
}
console.log('Disconnected from database');
})
}
else{
console.log('bot has been stopped from adding his message to database');
}```
At top of this code i made a connect function and two constructors to pull from database userId
Whenever an emote is used in a message, it follows this format: <:OmegaStonks:723370807308582943>, where the name of the emote is "OmegaStonks" and the id links to the link to the image, like so: https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/723370807308582943.png
Detecting this pattern is pretty easy using regex.
<a?:.+?:\d+>
which takes any character from the first : to the second : (and I used a ? to make the wildcard . stop as soon as possible). You also can't have colons in emote names, so it won't abruptly stop there.

Here is how you could do it
client.on('message', msg => {
if(msg.content.match(/<a?:.+?:\d+>/)) return; //or whatever action(s) you want to do
})
so I'm trying to make a discord bot (javascript) to ping my friend every time he talks. What I've tried so far are things like this from different websites:
client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.author.id === '<#ID>') {
msg.channel.send('<#ID>')
}})
I've searched around and I can't find anything that works exept the msg.reply which I don't want to use because it pings the author. If anyone could help me that would be great, thanks
I have a message edit log but I want to stop sending the log if a mobs message was updated, I tried a few codes like
if(bot.oldMessage.content.edit()){
return;
}
It showed and error
cannot read property 'edit' of undefined
I then removed edit then content was undefined. The code for the message update is below.
The Code
module.exports = async (bot, oldMessage, newMessage) => {
let channels = JSON.parse(
fs.readFileSync('././database/messageChannel.json', 'utf8')
);
let channelId = channels[oldMessage.guild.id].channel;
let msgChannel = bot.channels.cache.get(channelId);
if (!msgChannel) {
return console.log(`No message channel found with ID ${channelId}`);
}
if (oldMessage.content === newMessage.content){
return;
}
let mEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
.setAuthor(oldMessage.author.tag, oldMessage.author.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true}))
.setColor(cyan)
.setDescription(`**Message Editied in <#${oldMessage.channel.id}>**`)
.addField(`Before`, `${oldMessage.content}`)
.addField(`After`, `${newMessage.content}`)
.setFooter(`UserID: ${oldMessage.author.id}`)
.setTimestamp()
msgChannel.send(mEmbed)
}
How would I stop it from sending the embed if a bots message was updated.
Making a really simple check will resolve this issue. In Discord.js there is a user field that tells you if the user is a bot or not.
In fact, it is really recommended you add this in the "onMessage" part of your code as it stops other bots from using your bot, this is to make sure things are safe and no loopbacks/feedbacks happen, either way, you don't want a malicious bot taking advantage of your bot, which can get your bot in trouble too.
Here is what you want to do;
if (message.author.bot) return;
What this code specifically does is check if the message's author is a bot, if it returns true, it will break the code from running, if it returns a false, the code continues running.
You can do the same if you want to listen to bots ONLY by simply adding a exclamation mark before the message.author.bot like this;
if (!message.author.bot) return;
It is also possible to see what other kinds of information something holds, you can print anything to your console. For example, if you want to view what a message object contains, you can print it into your console with;
console.log(message) // This will show everything within that object.
console.log(message.author) // This will show everything within the author object (like ID's, name, discriminators, avatars, etc.)
Go ahead and explore what you can do!
Happy developing! ^ -^
That is really easy to do. All you need to do is check if the author of the message ist a bot and then return if true. You do that like this
if (oldMessage.author.bot) return;
I am trying to make my discord bot create a channel! I have tried many way's but none of them work! Note: this is discord.js! Here is the code I have come up with! IT DOES NOT WORK!
guild.channels.create('new-general', { reason: 'Needed a cool new channel' })
'guild' must be defined in some way. You can get it from a message for example by using message.guild or even by its name using client.guilds.find(guild => guild.name === "Guild Name");
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const token = '';
bot.on('ready', () =>{
console.log('This bot is online');
})
bot.on('message', msg=>{
if(msg.content === "?rates"){
msg.reply('.')
}
})
bot.login(token);
This is what I have so far it is very basic, I understand, I'm just trying to get some sort of idea how to process. What I want is as soon as a website gets updated or changed. I would like it to tag everyone and in a certain channel and specifies what has changed. I know this will be a long process but I'm in for the ride :) would appreciate any help.
You need a webhook on the website and listen to it with your bot, if you have control over the site, this may help you, otherwise you could look if the site has one or perhaps ask an owner.
A probably working but not very nice (and not very clean) solution would be to save the text of the website every 5 seconds or so and compare it to the previous save. If it changed, you notify the members through sending a message.
