Is there a way to access message in bot.on("message", function (message) from bot.on('voiceStateUpdate', (oldMember, newMember)
for instance I want to use let let vC = bot.voiceConnections.get(Message.guild.id); inside the voiceStateUpdate to get the the voice connection to play audio files through the bot but it keeps saying that message is undefined. So is there a way to access message in voiceStateUpdate.
It would be more practical to use newMember.guild.id:
let vC = bot.voiceConnections.get(newMember.guild.id);

if (message.content === "!test"){
client.users.cache.get('id').send('message');
console.log("message sent")
}
This method doesn't work and I wasn't able to find any other methods that worked
Is there a spelling mistake or this method is outdated?
I've actually encountered this error myself once. There are two problems you might be facing here:
The user isn't cached by discord.js yet
There isn't a DMChannel open for that user yet
To solve the first one, you have to fetch the user before doing anything with it. Remember this is a Promise, so you'll have to either await for it to complete or use .then(...).
const user = await client.users.fetch('id')
Once you've fetched your user by their ID, you can then create a DMChannel which, again, returns a promise.
const dmChannel = await user.createDM()
You can then use your channel like you normally would
dmChannel.send('Hello!')
Try to create a variable like this:
var user = client.users.cache.find(user => user.id === 'USER-ID')
And then do this:
user.send('your message')
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);
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)
})
My goal is to send a message to a channel that have the name global-chat.
I tried:
const Discord = require("discord.js")
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.on("message", async(msg) => {
if(msg.channel.name !== "global-chat")return;
let message = msg.content
await client.channels.find("name", "global-chat").send(message)
})
but when I send message in the global-chat channel in one server, it won't send to global-chat on other servers. Can anyone help me fix this?
If I understand your question correctly, you want to send a message to the channel with the same name in all other guilds.
This line will simultaneously relay the message to all of the channels the bot is watching named global-chat. Here's how it works...
Promise.all() executes Promises in a parallel manner.
Client.channels is a Collection of channels the bot is watching. Using Collection.filter(), you can form a new Collection with just the channels named global-chat.
Collection.map() returns an array of the values returned by the function provided for each value in the Collection. In this case, it returns an array of Promises for Promise.all() to use.
await Promise.all(client.channels.filter(c => c.name === 'global-chat').map(c => c.send(msg.content)))
If you use discord.js v12, you'll need to replace client.channels.filter by client.channels.cache.filter.
I would like to know how to find a message with its id from the entire guild and not just the current channel.
I have tried
message.guild.channels.fetchMessage(message_ID)
client.channels.fetchMessage(message_ID)
message.channel.guild.fetchMessage(message_ID)
message.fetchMessage(message_ID)
message.guild.fetchMessage(message_ID)
I want it to look through the entire guild and find the message by ID then send what the message has said. Also, I have tried to have it look for the channel that I want the message from but that didn't work either.
If it's possible to get more specific with the code, it should look into a channel called #qotd-suggestions with the ID of 479658126858256406 and then find the message there and then send the message's content.
Also, the message_ID part of fetchMessages gets replaced with what I say after the command so if I say !send 485088208053469204 it should send Message content: "Wow, the admins here are so lame."
There's no way to do that with a Guild method, but you can simply loop through the channels and call TextChannel.fetchMessage() for each of them.
In order to do that, you could use Collection.forEach() but that would be a little more complex if you want to work with vars, so I suggest you to convert Guild.channels to an Array with Collection.array().
Here's an example:
async function findMessage(message, ID) {
let channels = message.guild.channels.filter(c => c.type == 'text').array();
for (let current of channels) {
let target = await current.fetchMessage(ID);
if (target) return target;
}
}
You can then use this function by passing the message that triggered the command (from which you get the guild) and the ID you're looking for. It returns a Promise<Message> or, if the message is not found, Promise<undefined>. You can get the message by either using await or Promise.then():
let m = await findMessage(message, message_ID); // Message or undefined
// OR
findMessage(message, message_ID).then(m => {/* your stuff */});
