ye

humble sedge Sep 15, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

You do realize, if the bot is pinged, or you type @Yara it returns?

tired ledge Sep 15, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

ye, returns true

humble sedge Sep 15, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

yeah

#

So it returns the process

#

And doesn't do anything

tired ledge Sep 15, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

when i put if like this if(message.content.includes('@Yara')){ nothing happens

humble sedge Sep 15, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

Remove the line.....

#

There's your fix

#

Or

#

Instead of

#

@Yara

#

Do .includes("Bot ID")

#

like

#

.includes("709960501378940939")

I reckon you have been bamboozled by the message content privilaged intent

tired ledge Sep 16, 2022, 3:27 PM

'Please help, i do have the special thing turned on in dev and i have message content gateway bits"

#

#

because i have it on

Where and how do you call that file?

tired ledge Sep 16, 2022, 3:37 PM

#

const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'Events');const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));for (const file of eventFiles) {    const event_filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);    const event = require(event_filePath);    if (event.once) {        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));    } else {        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));    }}

Okay, messageCreate event only has one parameter, the message. Your function expects two parameters. So channel will actually be a Message and message will be undefined

#

No idea how that wouldn’t throw errors for you

twilit socket message.channel

is there an event for the bot if a DM message is sent to the bot?

#

or is it just messageCreate

twilit socket Sep 16, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

Do you have DirectMessages intent and Channel partial?

tired ledge Sep 16, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

DM no

#

now i do

tired ledge Sep 16, 2022, 4:10 PM

#

twilit socket Do you have DirectMessages intent and Channel partial?

if i do this message.content === '@Yara' and i type @Yara in dms, should the bot reply or is the code wrong

twilit socket Sep 16, 2022, 4:12 PM

#

The code is wrong. console.log(message.content) and check for yourself

tired ledge Sep 16, 2022, 4:13 PM

#

output <@ID>

#

ID is bot id

#

it works

how do i get reactions to work

const filter = (reaction, user) => {                return ['1️⃣', '2️⃣'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === message.author.id;            };                        messageEmbed.awaitReactions({ filter, max: 1, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] })                .then(collected => {                    const reaction = collected.first();                                if (reaction.emoji.name === '1️⃣') {                        messageEmbed.reply('You reacted with a thumbs up.');                    } else {                        messageEmbed.reply('You reacted with a thumbs down.');                    }                })                .catch(collected => {                    message.reply('You reacted with neither a thumbs up, nor a thumbs down.');                });

#

after 60 sec, the message is sent

#

but when i. react to the message, the other message -> You reacted with a thumbs up. or the other doesnt send

In DMs you‘d need DirectMessageReactions intent. Got that?

tired ledge Sep 16, 2022, 4:32 PM

right 🤦

it works

#

i just really dumb

#

what is GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessageTyping

twilit socket Sep 16, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

The indicator you see in DMs when the other person is typing. You probably won’t need that
