ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:18 AM

#

yuh

#

try renaming the file

#

to bot.js

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

Well it's like index

#

It just doesn't say anything

#

It doesn't start

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

are you using discord.js v14 or v13

#

?

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

14

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

...

#

wait here

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

Why

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

const { Client, IntentsBitField, Events} = require('discord.js');

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:21 AM

#

Yes

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:21 AM

#

copy this instead of your normal require

#

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent
  ],
});```

#

and make this your client

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:22 AM

#

How

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:22 AM

#

replace "messageCreate" with Events.MessageCreate too

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:22 AM

#

solid owl How

what do you mean how?

#

replace const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:23 AM

#

ornate pike ```js const client = new Client({ intents: [ IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,...

with this

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:24 AM

#

Did it

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:25 AM

#

now replace "messageCreate" with Events.MessageCreate

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:25 AM

#

Already did that

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:25 AM

#

now run the bot

#

it should work

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:25 AM

#

Nothing changed

#

I wrote: node bot.js

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:26 AM

#

.....

#

it's node .

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:26 AM

#

And nothing changed somehow

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:26 AM

#

....

#

it's node .

#

write

#

node .

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:26 AM

#

Sorry

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:27 AM

#

does it work now?

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:27 AM

#

Well

#

I got an error that the module was wrong, so I changed it back

#

And then I ran the command and it said nothing

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:28 AM

#

solid owl I got an error that the module was wrong, so I changed it back

spam ctrl + y in your code

#

and it should go back

#

or ctrl + z

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

How much

#

Should I go back

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

until it goes back to where you changed the things i told you to change

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:29 AM

#

I mean I changed the name of the file

#

Not the things in it

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:30 AM

#

ohhh

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:30 AM

Then it said that

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:30 AM

#

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:30 AM

If you dont know much I would recommend to learn discord JS 14. There is guide that can make you set it up from scratch.
https://discordjs.guide/#before-you-begin

discord.js Guide

Imagine a guide... that explores the many possibilities for your discord.js bot.

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

Yes

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:32 AM

#

okay test the bot

halcyon musk Jan 2, 2024, 12:33 AM

halcyon musk Jan 2, 2024, 12:34 AM

#

solid owl It doesn't work, but I don't wanna waste your time, but thanks

What doesnt work ? there is still a path issue ?

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:34 AM

#

No, the bot just isn't on

halcyon musk Jan 2, 2024, 12:34 AM

#

What is your discord js version ?

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:34 AM

halcyon musk Jan 2, 2024, 12:34 AM

#

Your intent are wrong then

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:34 AM

#

Why?

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:35 AM

#

halcyon musk Your intent are wrong then

i told him to replace them

#

he did

#

atleast i think he did

halcyon musk Jan 2, 2024, 12:35 AM

#

You also have to enable message content intent in the portal for messageCreate.

solid owl Jan 2, 2024, 12:36 AM

#

const { Client, IntentsBitField, Events} = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
intents: [
IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent
],
});

const PREFIX = '!'; // You can change this to your desired command prefix

client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Bot is online!');
});

client.on('messageCreate', (message) => {
if (message.author.bot) return; // Ignore messages from other bots

// Check if the message starts with the command prefix and is from a guild (server)
if (message.content.startsWith(PREFIX) && message.guild) {
    const args = message.content.slice(PREFIX.length).trim().split(/ +/);
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    // Check if the command is '!greet'
    if (command === 'greet') {
        // Reply with a greeting
        message.reply('Hello! I am your friendly Discord bot.');
    }
}

});

// Log in to Discord with your bot token
client.login('');

#

It looks like this now

halcyon musk Jan 2, 2024, 12:36 AM

#

#

#

I guess both working.

ornate pike Jan 2, 2024, 12:37 AM

#
