I'm trying to make a simple Discord bot, but I haven't been able to get it to respond to any of my messages.
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const { GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client({
intents: [
GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
]
});
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`)
})
client.on("messageCreate", msg => {
if(msg.content === "ping") {
msg.reply("pong");
}
})
const token = process.env['TOKEN']
client.login(token)
The bot is logging into discord, I'm not getting any errors in the console, and I've toggled on all the privileged gateway intents.
Edit
So, my previous answer was wrong, but is most definitely a better way to send messages.
There's not anything else that I can see is wrong with the code -- so I guess I'll try to debunk?
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js");
const client = new Client({ intents: [ GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent ]});
client.on("ready", async() => {
console.log(`${client.user.tag} logged in.`);
});
client.on("messageCreate", async(message) => {
if(message.content.toLowerCase() === "ping") {
message.reply({ content: "pong!" }); // or message.reply("pong!");
}
});
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
This should be a runnable instance of your code. What you should do is see if you're even getting the messageCreate event at all, by running it like this:
client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
console.log(`Received message!`);
});
If you do get something, then it is unable to correctly parse the message content. Are you ensuring it's the same capitalization wise? Is it spelt correctly?
If you don't get something, it's an issue with your Intents, or the way your event is structured.
Try adding parenthesis around your msg, though that shouldn't affect anything. Just a thought.
Incorrect Answer
In discord.js#13.x.x, the way to send messages has changed.
Formerly, you could do the following:
message.reply("Hello world!");
But now, to make formatting what provided property is what, it goes as follows:
message.reply({
content: "Hello world!",
});
You can also add things such as Embeds by using embeds: [], or Components by: components: [] (which requires Action Rows, not base Components).
Hope this helps.

I am creating a Discord bot that sends a message when the user's message contains a certain string.
For example, if the user says 'ping', the bot should reply with 'pong'. However, this is not currently working as intended.
The bot itself is online and in the server I am testing, and I am using the correct login token. The code itself does not produce any errors, but it does not function as expected. I am looking for a solution to this issue.
Heres the code:
Ive removed the token just for this post.
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = Discord;
// Create a new client
const client = new Client({
// Set the intents to include guilds and guild messages
intents: [
GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
]
});
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on('message', message => {
if (message.content === 'ping') {
message.reply('Pong!');
}
});
// Log in to Discord using the bot's token
client.login('REMOVED FOR STACK OVERFLOW POST');
Heres my bots permissions
As Zsolt Meszaros pointed out the client on function should use
https://stackoverflow.com/users/6126373/zsolt-meszaros
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
if (message.content === 'ping') {
message.reply('Pong!');
}
});
instead of
client.on('message', message => {
if (message.content === 'ping') {
message.reply('Pong!');
}
});
Im trying to detect when someone sends an message with this code. Sadly its not working for some reason. It should give an output in the console and send an reply but both doesnt happen.
const bot= new CommandClient(`Bot ${token}`, { intents: ['guilds'], maxShards: 'auto',restMode: true })
bot.on('message', (message) => {
message.reply('This is a reply!')
.then(() => console.log("test"))
.catch(console.error);
})
The const bot works with interaction so its probably not the problem.
Can anyone help me?
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Client({intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent]})
bot.on('messageCreate', async message => {
message.reply("This is a reply!")
.then(() => console.log("test"))
.catch(console.error);
})
When updating my discord.js to v13 there are many errors I get:
//member.hasPermission is not a function
member.hasPermission("SEND_MESSAGES")
//Cannot send an empty message
channel.send(someEmbed)
//Cannot send an empty message
channel.send({embed: someEmbed})
//Warning: The 'message' event was deprecated, use 'messageCreate' instead
client.on("message", msg => {})
//Cannot send an empty message
channel.send(user)
//[CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS] Valid intents must be provided for the client
const client = new Client()
//channel.join is not a function
await channel.join()
These don't happen in v12, so how do I fix them in v13?
Discord.js v13 has a lot of changes, and those are only a few. Before updating to v13, you should change the following things
//member.hasPermission("SEND_MESSAGES")
member.permissions.has("SEND_MESSAGES")
//channel.send(someEmbed) / channel.send({embed: someEmbed})
channel.send({ embeds: [someEmbed] }) //make sure it's an array!
//client.on("message", msg => {})
client.on("messageCreate", msg => {})
//channel.send(user)
channel.send(user.toString())
//const client = new Client()
const { Intents, Client } = require("discord.js")
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES]}) //more intents may be provided
//await channel.join()
const { joinVoiceChannel } = require("#discordjs/voice") //requires installation
joinVoiceChannel({
channelId: channel.id,
guildId: guild.id,
adapterCreator: guild.voiceAdapterCreator
})
There are some more changes. You can see them in the guide
I have been trying to fetch the list of all members in my guild using the syntax as mentioned in the docs here. But am not receiving any output. Below is the code that I am using.
const { Client, Intents, Guild } = require("discord.js");
require("dotenv").config();
const commandHandler = require("./commands");
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const client = new Client({
intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES", "GUILD_PRESENCES"],
});
client.once("ready", async (data) => {
console.log("Ready!");
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
const Guilds = client.guilds.cache.map((guild) => guild);
console.log(Guilds[0]);
await Guilds[0].members.fetch().then(console.log).catch(console.error);
});
client.on("interactionCreate", async (interaction) => {
if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;
if (interaction.commandName === "ping") {
await interaction.reply(client.user + "💖");
}
});
client.on("messageCreate", commandHandler);
client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN); // Kushagra's bot
I am getting the information on Guild instance through the console.log on line 13. But do am not getting any output for line 15.
However, I noticed that I was getting some output if I add options to fetch() command on line 14. I received some output when I added {query: 'random text'}.
Just wanted to understand why I am unable to get a list of all members.
Thanks!🙂
I found that I had missed out on the Intent.
It seems that in order to fetch members you need to add an intent GUILD_MEMBERS while creating a client instance.
So replacing the client creation with the one below will work.
const client = new Client({
intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES", "GUILD_PRESENCES", "GUILD_MEMBERS"]
});
I have a "Special User" which is equal to 'Client.users.fetch(Special User's ID)'.
Then the user has two event listeners attached to the it, 'message' and 'presenceUpdate',
The message event listener works perfects, although the presenceUpdate does not work at all,
All help is greatly appreciated!
require("dotenv").config();
const Discord = require(`discord.js`);
const Client = new Discord.Client();
Client.on("ready", () => {
console.log(`\tClient Ready`);
});
var SpecialUser = Client.users
.fetch(process.env.ID)
.then((User) => {
console.log(User.username);
// Working
User.client.addListener("message", (message) => {
console.log("message");
});
// Not Working
User.client.addListener("presenceUpdate", (Old, New) => {
console.log(`Presence Updated`);
});
})
.catch(console.error);
Client.on("message", (message) => {});
Client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
If the presenceUpdate event doesn't trigger, chances are you'll need to add the GUILD_PRESENCES intent either using the client options:
const Discord = require(`discord.js`);
const client = new Discord.Client({
intents: ['GUILDS', 'GUILD_MESSAGES', 'GUILD_PRESENCES'],
});
// rest of your code...
