• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.

#

you don't need any intents for the userUpdate event

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 1:55 AM

#

Here's my code, any idea on why it wont work?

client.on('userUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {
  debug("UserUpdate event fired");
  const oldUsername = oldMember.user.username;
  const newUsername = newMember.user.username;

  // Check if the username has changed
  if (oldUsername !== newUsername) {
    // Username has been changed
    debug(`User '${oldUsername}' changed their username to '${newUsername}'`);

    // You can perform any actions or emit events here based on the username change
    eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);
  }
});

#

its supposed to detect username changes, but it wont even run in the first place

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 1:55 AM

#

oldMember is already a user so .user will not work

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 1:56 AM

#

so do I just do oldMember.username?

#

also, the event doesent fire at all

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 1:57 AM

#

you could yes, but i suggest changing oldMember and newMember to oldUser and newUser so you dont confuse users and members

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 1:57 AM

#

restive cedar you *could* yes, but i suggest changing `oldMember` and `newMember` to `oldUser`...

alright thanks for the tip

#

but the event wont fire at all

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 1:57 AM

#

is your bot online?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 1:57 AM

#

yeah

#

the setup seems fine according to docs

#

other commands and event work

#

for example the ready event work fine

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 1:59 AM

#

do you have an event handler? or is that event in one file only

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 1:59 AM

#

all of the events are being handled in the root file, index.js

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

mind if i ask what eventEmitter is?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:01 AM

#

hold on lemme grab it

#

here

#

// root file
// declaring
const { EventEmitter } = require("events");
const eventEmitter = new EventEmitter();


// pushing to container
eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);


// command file
 eventEmitter.on("usernameChange", async (username) => {
  // ...
}

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

alright

#

please log <Client>._events and show the output of that

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:03 AM

#

sure 1 sec

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:04 AM

#

preferably in the ready event since you said that does fire

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:04 AM

#

[Object: null prototype] {
  shardDisconnect: [Function (anonymous)],
  ready: [Function (anonymous)],
  userUpdate: [Function (anonymous)],
  messageCreate: [AsyncFunction (anonymous)]
}

#

stringifying it returns an empty object

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

seems like the event is being registered

#

what does debug do?

#

does that log messages in the console?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

yes

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

does debug("UserUpdate event fired"); log in the console?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:06 AM

#

no

#

console.log didnt work either

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:07 AM

#

can you show your client's intents

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:07 AM

#

1 sec

#

const client = new discord.Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
  ],
});

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:07 AM

#

interesting..

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:08 AM

#

there was also no errors

#

seems like the event just didnt get recognised

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:08 AM

#

do you mind showing your entire index.js

#

if its a lot, please use a bin

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

alright gimme a moment

fringe oysterBOT Jun 21, 2023, 2:10 AM

#

Please add the following code to your code base outside of any other event listeners and provide the full log output relevant to your issue.

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

Note: if you initialize your Client as bot or other identifiers you need to use these instead of client
If the output is too long to post consider using a bin instead: gist | paste.gg | sourceb.in | hastebin

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:10 AM

#

also please do this as well

#

you said the ready event fires though?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:13 AM

#

yep

#

but the onmessage and onuserupdate event doesent

#

its weird

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:13 AM

#

interesting

#

whats your djs version? npm ls discord.js

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:14 AM

#

14.11.0

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:14 AM

#

you said you had an intents error in your original question. do you have that error anywhere?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:15 AM

#

restive cedar you said you had an intents error in your original question. do you have that er...

no, the error turned out to be because I added some random GatewayDispatchEvents thing inside of the intents list

#

that was an issue made by me

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:15 AM

#

userUpdate event is not being emitted

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:15 AM

#

good call ^

#

I just tried changing the username of my alt, that is in the same server as my bot. Nothing printed

#

oh ok messageCreate event seems to work fine

#

so its only the userupdate event

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:17 AM

#

let me check on something

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:17 AM

#

Uh

#

Our userUpdate is not discord's user_update

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:18 AM

#

urban magnet Our userUpdate is not discord's user_update

so what would I use to check if a user's name updated?

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:18 AM

#

Our userUpdate is extractsd from member_update

#

Or presence, idr now

#

Fairly sure you need an intent for that

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:19 AM

#

urban magnet Fairly sure you need an intent for that

which one?

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:19 AM

#

The one from the table on discord docs

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:19 AM

#

and I'd still use the UserUpdate event?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:19 AM

#

urban magnet The one from the table on discord docs

the docs wont let me search for anything

#

which is why im asking here

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:19 AM

#

Which docs

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:20 AM

#

wait this is for actual discord docs?

#

I was talking about the discord.js.org docs

#

not working

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:20 AM

#

Not working how

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:20 AM

#

the search doesent work

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:20 AM

#

Doesn't work how

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:21 AM

#

#

I put in anything

#

and it always says no result found

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:21 AM

#

And what is the package you are searching in?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:21 AM

#

oh it was core package, changing to discord.js works perfectly

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:21 AM

#

Ok, next

#

Yes, discord has a list of what event needs what intent

#

On their docs

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:22 AM

#

could I use guildMemberUpdate to check the username change of a user

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:22 AM

#

Probably?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:22 AM

#

alright ill check docs

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:22 AM

#

It's probably 0 diff functionally

#

We extract and emit userUpdate from guild member (or presence, idr) update

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:24 AM

#

urban magnet It's probably 0 diff functionally

https://i.imgur.com/UV3BWvF.png

Imgur

#

we already have that intent added

#

heres the current function, would this work? ```js
client.on('guildMemberUpdate', (oldMember, newMember) => {
debug("UserUpdate event fired");
const oldUsername = oldMember.user.username;
const newUsername = newMember.user.username;

// Check if the username has changed
if (oldUsername !== newUsername) {
// Username has been changed
debug(User '${oldUsername}' changed their username to '${newUsername}');

// You can perform any actions or emit events here based on the username change
eventEmitter.emit('usernameChange', oldUsername);

}
});

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

If you didn't change anything from that and ir didn't work, it might be the presence

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

urban magnet If you didn't change anything from that and ir didn't work, it might be the pres...

I just changed username and it didnt work

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

Actually

#

Given how we extract into userUpdate, not sure if we still emit the GMU that triggered it

#

Might, idk

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

ok so

#

we used guildMemberUpdate

#

and it only fired for a username update

#

like the display name

#

but not the actual @ username

restive cedar Jun 21, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

you'll want to use the dev version to get their username, but the event is firing ?

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

restive cedar you'll want to use the dev version to get their username, but the event is firin...

only firing when we change the display name, not the actual username

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

The GMU or userupdate

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

urban magnet The GMU or userupdate

gmu

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

Then try the other one

#

Or both

#

Idk

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:30 AM

#

well before we tried UserUpdate and it didnt fire at all but we'll try again

#

also whats the package for the discord dev thing?

urban magnet Jun 21, 2023, 2:30 AM

#

Jist @dev version of d.js

#

Again, i am not sure if user gets updated via member update or presence update.

karmic moth Jun 21, 2023, 2:31 AM

#

alright we're gonna try to swap to the dev version

#

and see how it goes

#

alrigth we tried some things and it didnt work, imma just look into this some other time, thx for all of the help though
