I'm making a bot which on a react to a certain will create a channel...
That all works perfectly expect I want a nessage to be posted when the cahnnel is created which has a specfic beginning.
client.on('channelCreate', (channel, message) => {
if(channel.name.startsWith('ticket-')){
message.channel.send('test');
});
I'm not getting any errors, just nothing...
You can't use the message variable in the channelCreate event. The only thing you're receiving is a channel object, so you need to use channel.send():
client.on('channelCreate', (channel, message) => {
if(channel.name.startsWith('ticket-')){
channel.send('test');
});

Well i need to do this:
on a channel a bot announces "btc" price (not real)
im trying to get the price and send the price to a specificed channel
My code
sa.on("message", (message) => {
if (message.content.startsWith("🟠")) {
if (message.author.id == "974187708933083157") {
client.channels.get('955536998989447249').send(`${message.content}`);
} else message.channel.send(``);
}
})
So if a message that starts with 🟠the bot needs to get the price and send it to the channel (955536998989447249)
But it not working my bot is working fine but not getting price and sendimg it
Firstly don't try sending empty message message.channel.send(``);, it will just throw an error.
The main problem, is that client.channels (ChannelManager) doesn't have a "get" method.
Assuming you are using djs v13, to get a channel, you can get it from cache with:
client.channels.cache.get('955536998989447249').send("sth")
however this might not always work if the channel is not currently cached.
Other option is to fetch it, though it is an asynchronous operation, so it looks a bit different:
client.channels.fetch('955536998989447249').then(channel => channel.send("sth"))
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’m trying to make my bot send a message to a channel whenever a user deletes his/her message, sorta like the bot Dyno, but I do not know how to do this. I think the method is .deleted() but I can’t seem to make it work. Can anyone tell me how? Sorry for lack of detail, there’s nothing else to add. Thank you in advance.
The Client (or Bot) has an event called messageDelete which is fired everytime a message is deleted. The given parameter with this event is the message that has been deleted. Take a look at the sample code below for an example.
// Create an event listener for deleted messages
client.on('messageDelete', message => {
// Fetch the designated channel on a server
const channel = message.guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.name === 'deleted-messages-log');
// Do nothing if the channel wasn't found on this server
if (!channel) return;
// Send a message in the log channel
channel.send(`A message has been deleted. The message was: ${message.content}`);
});
similar to this question however I want to be able to send it to every channel it has access to!
inside the on message event after I verify myself by ID and the issued command I was using this code:
const listedChannels = [];
msg.guild.channels.forEach(channel => {
//get all channels
client.channels.get(channel.id).send("you like bred? (message) ");
//send a message to every channel in this guild
});
however I get the error that .send is not a function...
I have been told to use .send after getting the ID of the channels
If you are looping through all of the channels, you simpily need to send your content to the channel, which you've already gotten from msg.guild.channels.forEach(channel => {//code}).
Replace what you have inside the .forEach block with;
channel.send("You like bred? (message)");
Although this will send You like bred? (message)
If you're trying to get a response back, perhaps look at this answer that explains collecting responses via reactions to a discord message.
The following explanation pertains only to v11 (stable).
Client.channels is a Collection of Channels your bot is watching. You can only send messages to text channels, and this Collection will include DM channels as well. For this reason, we can use Collection.filter() to retrieve a new Collection of only text channels within a guild. Finally, you can iterate over the channels and call TextChannel.send() on each. Because you're dealing with Promises, I'd recommend a Promise.all()/Collection.map() combination (see hyperlinked documentation).
For example...
// assuming "client" is your Discord Bot
const channels = client.channels.filter(c => c.guild && c.type === 'text');
Promise.all(channels.map(c => c.send('Hello, world!')))
.then(msgs => console.log(`${msgs.length} successfully sent.`))
.catch(console.error);
You can use client.channels for this. Check if channel type is guild text channel and then try send a message.
client.channels.forEach(channel => {
if(channel.type === 'text') channel.send('MSG').catch(console.error)
})
I wanted to make it so everytime my bot had an error it would send the error in a channel but it does nothing
bot.on('error', function (err) {
bot.guilds.get("609118791854456860").channels.get("609118791854456865").send(err)
})
I don't believe Client emits an event called "error". This code here should catch all uncaught errors and send them in a channel of your choosing:
process.on("uncaughtException", e => {
console.error(e);
Client.channels.get("YOUR CHANNEL ID").send(e.stack.slice(0, 2000); //ensure the stack trace is not too long, messages are limited to 2000 characters
process.exit();
});
In this code snippet, I've named my new Discord.Client() instance Client, it seems you've named yours bot, so you can swap the two names.
According to the docs, the Error Event is calledwhenever the client's WebSocket encounters a connection error.I believe the key is connection error. So if this event is called, you are no longer connected or something is wrong with the connection. Therefore no message can be sent if it can't connect.
One workaround is what Cloud has in his answer, and use the process.on("uncaughtException", e => {})
But just in case the error is fatal and the bot can't connect. You should save the error to a .txt file so whenever the bot successfully re-connects, you send whatever is in that file to your desired channel. Then have the bot delete the file if it successfully sent the message.
