I'm trying to basically do what the title says.
I've tried
let channel = message.channel.get(68352726916713XXXX)
message.channel.send(channel.topic)
and stuff like that, But nothing works.
Any suggestions or answers?
If you are trying to get a channel in the same guild as the message was sent in, use message.guild.channels.get. Otherwise, use client.channels.get.
let channel = message.guild.channels.get("68352726916713XXXX");
message.channel.send(channel.topic);

I've been trying to make a bot to react to the last message of a specific channel. So, if I do run this command from a channel X (something like ;remreact 'emote'), then it'll react with the 'emote' to the latest message in channel Y. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I believe this is the answer you are searching for:
let emoji = msg[2];
let chn = msg[1];
message.channel.send(emoji);
client.channels.cache.get(chn).send(emoji);
I'm relatively new to discord.js, and I've started building a bot project that allows a user to create a message via command, have that message stored in a hidden channel on my private server, and then said message can be extracted through the message ID.
I have the write working and it returns the message ID of the message sent in the hidden channel, but I'm completely stumped on the get command. I've tried searching around online but every method I tried would return errors like "Cannot read property 'fetch' of undefined" or "'channel' is not defined". Here are some examples of what I tried, any help would be appreciated. Note that my args is already accurate, and "args[0]" is the first argument after the command. "COMMAND_CHANNEL" is the channel where the command is being executed while "MESSAGE_DATABASE" is the channel where the targeted message is stored.
let msgValue = channel.messages.cache.get(args[0])
client.channels.cache.get(COMMAND_CHANNEL).send(msgValue.content)
let msgValue = msg.channel.message.fetch(args[0])
.then(message => client.channels.cache.get(COMMAND_CHANNEL).send(msgValue.content))
.catch(console.error);
I even tried using node-fetch to call the discord API itself
const api = require("node-fetch")
let msgValue = api(`https://discordapp.com/api/v8/channels/${MESSAGE_DATABASE}/messages/${args[0]}`)
.then(message => client.channels.cache.get(COMMAND_CHANNEL).send(msgValue.content))
.catch(console.error);
Am I missing something or am I making some sort of mistake?
Edit: Thanks for the help! I finished my bot, it's just a little experimental bot that allows you to create secret messages that can only be viewed through their ID upon executing the command :get_secret_message <message_id>. I posted it on top.gg but it hasn't been approved yet, so in the meantime if anyone wants to mess around with it here is the link: https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=800368784484466698&permissions=76800&scope=bot
List of commands:
:write_secret_message - Write a secret message, upon execution the bot will DM you the message ID.
:get_secret_message <message_id> - Get a secret message by its ID, upon execution the bot will DM you the message content.
:invite - Get the bot invite link.
NOTE: Your DMs must be turned on or the bot won't be able to DM any of the info.
My test message ID: 800372849155637290
fetch returns the result as promise so you need to use the then to access that value instead of assigning it to a variable (msgValue). Also you made a typo (channel.message -> channel.messages).
I would recommend using something like this:
msg.channel.messages
.fetch(args[0])
.then(message => {
client.channels
.fetch(COMMAND_CHANNEL)
.then(channel => channel.send(message.content))
.catch(console.error)
})
.catch(console.error)
I think you were quite close with the second attempt you posted, but you made one typo and the way you store the fetched message is off.
The typo is you wrote msg.channel.message.fetch(args[0]) but it should be msg.channel.messages.fetch(args[0]) (the typo being the missing s after message). See the messages property of a TextChannel.
Secondly, but this is only a guess really as I can't be sure since you didn't provide much of your code, when you try to fetch the message, you are doing so from the wrong channel. You are trying to fetch the message with a given ID from in the channel the command was executed from (the msg.channel). Unless this command was executed from the "MESSAGE_DATABASE" channel, you would need to fetch the message by ID from the "MESSAGE_DATABASE" channel instead of the msg.channel.
Thirdly, if you fetch a message, the response from the Promise can be used in the .then method. You tried to assign the response to a variable msgValue with let msgValue = msg.channel.message.fetch(args[0]) but that won't do what you'll expect it to do. This will actual assign the entire Promise to the variable. What I think you want to do is just use the respone from the Promise directly in the .then method.
So taking all that, please look at the snippet of code below, with inspiration taken from the MessageManager .fetch examples. Give it a try and see if it works.
// We no longer need to store the value of the fetch in a variable since that won't work as you expect it would.
// Also we're now fetching the message from the MESSAGE_DATABASE channel.
client.channels.cache.get(MESSAGE_DATABASE).fetch(args[0])
// The fetched message will be given as a parameter to the .then method.
.then(fetchedMessage => client.channels.cache.get(COMMAND_CHANNEL).send(fetchedMessage.content))
.catch(console.error);
I am trying to create a bot that server-mutes everyone if a specific person mutes themself.
I can get the user ID or other details via message.member.
Is there any way to find out if that user is muted or even if the person is in a voice channel?
This is what I found so far:
client.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldmember, newmember) => {
let oldvoice = oldmember.voiceChannel;
let newvoice = newmember.voiceChannel;
if (oldvoice && newvoice && oldvoice.id != newvoice.id)
var channelStatus = 'Moved'
console.log(oldvoice)
})
But I don't understand it and it just returns undefined.
Edit: Found a way easier solution:
msg.member.voice.selfMute
Old one:
client.channels.cache.get(msg.member.voice.channel.id).guild.voiceStates.cache.get(msg.author.id).selfMute
let's break it down:
client.channels.cache gives you of all text and voice channels in your discord server
get(msg.member.voice.channel.id) gives you the id of the voice channel, the user that wrote the bot command (considering, you have stored the message in a variable e.g.: msg)
.guild.voiceStates.cache gives you a list of everyone in the channel
.get(msg.author.id) takes the user that wrote the last message
.selfMute returns the mute state
btw there are other pretty useful things too like selfDeafen, streaming and more
I'd like our Discord Bot to mention a specific channel, and let it be clickable. I understand mentioning a user you use the user ID. I do have the channel Id, just unsure how to implement it.
You just have to do the following:
message.channel.send('Please take a look at this Discord Server channel <#CHANNELID>')
or if you get the channel id from the bot
const channel = message.guild.channels.find(channel => channel.name === 'Name of the channel');
message.channel.send(`Please take a look at this Discord Server channel <#${channel.id}>`)
Then the channel is clickable like in this screenshot:
It is simple :^)
<#channel.id>
Channels on Discord have this special kinda syntax here:
<#channel id>
As commented by Elitezen here, running toString() on a Channel can do that mention for you. Then, just send that string yourself. It's much simpler than manually doing it.
Like this if you're answering a message:
message.channel.send(message.channel.toString());
Also, like answered by others in this question, you can do that yourself if you feel like it.
If you have a Channel object already, you can do something like this (imagine your channel is named myChannel - it doesn't have to be named that, though):
message.channel.send(`<#${message.channel.id}>`);
I promise, I've tried everything. I think I have the actually command down, but I can't figure out how to implement the name of the voice channel. Here's my code:
if (!message.mentions.users.first()) {
message.channel.send("You have to tag someone my dude.")
break;
}
var member = (message.mentions.users.first())
guild.member(member).setVoiceChannel(Rats)
message.channel.send(":right_facing_fist: " + member)
break;
It runs through just fine, but "Rats" (the voice channel) is undefined. Do I need a variable that has the voice channel name? Is there something else I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance :)
Seems like your code is fine to me, but the Assignment of Rats is wrong.
setVoiceChannel() method takes in an argument which is a channel with type voice. So all you have to do is just directly assign the voiceChannel object to Rats and it would work.
You can get the list of channels in a guild by message.guild.channels, which returns a Collection<Snowflake,Guildchannel>. From there, you can filter out all the non-VCs using filter . You can do channel.type === "voice" to check if a channel is a voice channel or not.
