Ok, after trying the initial help provided on the support channel, it's still not wrking, idk if i made a mistake

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 10:49 PM

#

Can you update your code

#

Because thats still the wrong embed sending

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:49 PM

#

console log channel and make sure that's a thing

#

unless the event just doesn't fire

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

fossil dagger Because thats still the wrong embed sending

yup.

    const channel = client.channels.cache.get(DELCHAN_ID);
    console.log('message deleted...')
    const logEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setColor('#ff0000')
      .setTitle('Message Deleted')
      .setDescription(`A message by ${message.author} was deleted in ${message.channel}.`)
      .addField('Content', message.content)
      .setTimestamp();
  
    channel.send({ embeds: [logEmbed] });
  });

#

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

does the event fire?

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

wraith vapor does the event fire?

nope

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

what intents do u use?

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

it's not sending the console.log

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

yeah where do u define ur client

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

on index.js

const client = new Client({ partials: [Partials.Message, Partials.Channel, Partials.Reaction], intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds]  });
client.commands = new Collection();
const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));


client.once(Events.ClientReady, () => {
    const channelId = config.channel_id;
    const channel = client.channels.cache.get(channelId);
    try {
        channel.send('Hello there, I am online!');
        console.log('welcome message sent!')
    } catch (error) {
        console.log('unable to send online message, but bot is alive. pls check index.js client ready block. error: ',error)
    }
    console.log('Ready!');
});

#

wait

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

hmm

#

add

#

GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent and try

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

yea... tbh im still new on bot development, this proyect was the 2nd attempt, the first one was on discord.php lol

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

yikes

#

php xd

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

yea... idk if i was drunk or what

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

You dont need MessageContent for a messageDelete event

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

now it broke other module lol

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

it doesnt include content

#

You would need it to cache content of messages when you recieve them in messageCreate events though

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

message delete doesn't include content?

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Correct

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

for all apps?

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

wraith vapor message delete doesn't include content?

exactly. those are not accessible after deletion

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

wraith vapor for all apps?

I dont know what you mean by this

#

discord.js only gives you content in the event if it was cached. If the message wasn't cached, there's no way to get its content

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

I thought message delete included the content that was deleted or am I stupid

#

oh right, so the message was always cached I'm assuming

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

possibly

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

yeah cause I just did message.content in the messagDelete event

#

okay remove the content bit and try again?

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

i think that dyno somehow keep the log of all the messages temporaly for each shard, and if a message with id X get deleted (only info fetchable after deletion) and it have a message with id x cached get deleted, it fetchs the content, and place it onto the embed

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

Didn't know that how it worked tbh

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

idk either. it's just an assumption

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

I thought discord provided the content before it was deleted and then the deleted it

#

but knowing that they don't, they surely cache messages too

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:03 PM

#

frozen swift unable to send online message, but bot is alive. pls check index.js client ready...

ok, this got fixed after removing the MessageContent intent

#

gonna place it on a try/catch to see if that helps debugging

#

still doesnt...

    try {
        const channel = client.channels.cache.get(DELCHAN_ID);
        console.log('message deleted...')
        const logEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
          .setColor('#ff0000')
          .setTitle('Message Deleted')
          .setDescription(`A message by ${message.author} was deleted in ${message.channel}.`)
          .addField('Content', message.content)
          .setTimestamp();
      
        channel.send({ embeds: [logEmbed] });
        
    } catch (error) {
        console.log('error on message delete module');
    }
  });

it's not accessing to that module...

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

okay so the event fires but what's the error again?

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

the event doesn't even fires

wraith vapor Mar 1, 2023, 11:06 PM

#

oh yikes

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:08 PM

#

hmmmmmm... i'll read again the docs and see if i can find something

#

... if this fixes it, idk what im gonna do

#

still doesnt

#

maybe i miss some permissions?

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

nope, no permissions required

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

tried to replace the module for this...._

#

that is the suggested code in the docs

#

but still evetn is not firing

#

should i ask too on the discord development server?

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

Can you show your client constructor again please

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:33 PM

#

frozen swift Mar 1, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

fossil dagger Can you show your client constructor again please

should i send it on text instead of a screenshot?

fossil dagger Mar 1, 2023, 11:56 PM

#

You're... Still missing the GuildMessages intent

#

I thought someone told you to add that

frozen swift Mar 2, 2023, 12:34 AM

#

wait what?

frozen swift Mar 2, 2023, 12:46 AM

#

fossil dagger You're... Still missing the GuildMessages intent

ok, just added it. and it dropped error lmao

throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

fossil dagger Mar 2, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

So what's line 82

frozen swift Mar 2, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

wait... i know why

#

it's trying to fetch a var that is not available yet

#

k now i'll need to implement the embed. I'll be back if i have any issue with that

frozen swift Mar 2, 2023, 2:05 AM

#

ok... now i got this
ReferenceError: Discord is not defined

#

this is the line it gets reffered to:

const logEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed().setColor('#ff0000').setTitle('Message Deleted').setDescription(`A message by ${message.author.tag} was deleted in ${message.channel}.`).addField('Content', message.content).setTimestamp();

#

i think i got it... lemme see

#

@fossil dagger @wraith vapor THANK YOU!

#

Now i can move it to production :')

wraith vapor Mar 2, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

no worries
