How do I get the main channel from a server? Almost all major bots do this. For example, Rythm. The bot sends a message in the main channel that tells you how to use Rythm. That's kind of what I intend to do also, to let people know how to use my bot. If you could help me with this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Guilds have a defaultChannel value you can access.
guild.defaultChannel.send(`Hello`);
Documentation:
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=defaultChannel
Though this is Deprecated you can still use it unless the #general channel is removed.
Otherwise:
For the channel the invite refers to:
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Invite
invite.channel is the channel the invite refers to

My server has been overwhelmed by a selfbot attack adding multiple users. I am trying to get my bot to ban all the users (few actual users) on the server but this code on a ready event doesn't seem to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Currently this code says its banning in console but its not actually banning any of the users. (yes i know this may look bad out of context).
client.guilds.forEach(guild => {
guild.members.forEach(m => {
m.ban();
//log when member is banned in the console
console.info(`\x1b[37m\x1b[44mINFO\x1b[0m: Banned ${m.user.username}; ID: ${m.id}. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻`);
});
});
Mass banning users via a Bot is considered abusive usage, and we cannot assist you with it. If you want to clear your guild of members, Discord gives you the Prune option within Settings -> Members -> Prune which can help you remove a chunk. Please remember that abusing this to "raid" a server is considered abuse.
I'm coding a discord Bot with the discord.js library on a nodeJs server.
Here is my question: is that possible when an event occure (like someone sending a message) that the bot answers to members of a role, or to everyone. The message.reply("my reply") method only answer to the author of the message as I use it for now...
Your problem is that message.reply() is a very limited method: it always mentions the author of the message, and you can't override that.
You need to use a more generic method, channel.send(), and construct the mention yourself. .reply() is just a shortcut for a frequently used form of it, but you need something custom.
Presumably, you want it to happen in the same channel as the message, so you need message.channel.send("Whatever content you want").
Now, to add a role, you need to decide how to pick one. Is it fixed? Then you could hard-code a role mention by role ID: <#&134362454976102401> (of course, it needs to be the role ID you require).
If you want to find a role, for example by name, you need to do that via searching through the guild in question. You can access it though message.guild, but be warned that it will be undefined for DMs.
Then you can do something like
const role = message.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "NameYouWant");
message.channel.send(`${role} something something`);
because Role objects become mentions when converted to strings.
I'm trying to implement a command for my bot that gives a role to a user for a determined amount of time, but I don't know how to make the bot remove or add a role to a user.
I need it to involve the server ID cause I plan on using the bot in multiple servers.
This is clearly wrong, but I hope it can help you all understand what I'm trying to do:
client.guilds.get(config.serverID).message.guild.members.get(userID).removeRole(config.donatorRole)
You almost have it! The only thing wrong is that message isn't a property of a Guild. Also, make sure to catch any errors if the Promise returned by GuildMember.removeRole() is rejected.
Here's a cleaned up example:
const guild = client.guilds.get(config.serverID);
const member = guild.members.get(userID);
member.removeRole(config.donatorRole)
.catch(console.error);
I want to make my discord bot make an announcement to a certain channel, based on the Channel ID.
I know how to make the bot respond in whatever channel it's talked to, using message.channel.send(), but I was wondering if there was a way to do message.channelID.send() to have the bot talk in a specific channel to make an announcement.
Thanks!

client.channels.find("id", "what ever").send(/*...*/)
All channels are stored in a Collection under the Client.channels prpperty which you can use to get it.
Using client.channels.find("id", "what ever").send(/*...*/); will work to send a message to a certain channel, but in the console, an alert is thrown. Using client.channels.get("what ever").send("/*...*/"); does the same job, but without using a discord.js deprecated function.
Thanks to Jonas Wilms!
I have been making a discord bot and wanted to make it send a message to a specific "Welcome" channel. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do so. I tried this.
const welcomeChannel = bot.channels.get("name", "welcome")
welcomeChannel.sendMessage("Welcome\n"+member.user.username);
However in this "welcomeChannel is undefined".
Edit:
I tried using
const welcomeChannel = bot.channels.get("id", "18NUMBERIDHERE")
welcomeChannel.sendMessage("Welcome\n"+member.user.username);
but this is still undefined, strangely
You should use the channnel id instead of it's name.
How to get the channel id of a channel:
Open up your Discord Settings
Go to Advanced
Tick Developer Mode (And close the Discord settings)
Right click on your desired channel
Now there's an option Copy ID to copy the channel id
Also checkout the discord.js documentation for (channel) collections
Furthermore your approach won't work because .get wants a channel id (see the linked documentation above). In case you REALLY want to get an channel by its name, use .find instead for that.
This is however a really bad idea in case your bot runs on more than one server since channel names can now occur multiple times.
You can also use
bot.channels.find("name","welcome").send("Welcome!")
I tried a lot with the same error, and that's how I fixed it. I used client as my Client().
client.channels.cache.get("18NUMBERIDHERE").send("Welcome!");
Your error could come from the fact that you're using bot.channels.get(), which isn't the best idea, because discord.js isn't very friendly when it comes to using .send() on multiple items.
Instead, try to use member.guild.channels.find("name", "channel").send();, if possible. If this is in the client.on("message"), then simply use message.member.channels.find("name", "channel").send();
Sidenote: My memory is mixed up, so if that doesn't work, try .get() instead of find.
