} catch (e) {
      message.reply(`there was an error trying to execute that command! \`${e}\``).then((e) =>{

[wicked wave]

[sullen wind]

Alr where is your command

[sullen wind]

ok so its message.reply('Test is working')

[wicked wave]

This is the error

[signal lodge]

const [cmd, ...args] = message.content
            .slice(prefix.length)
            .trim()
            .split(/ +/g);

i did this

[sullen wind]

oh you using v13

well it still should work

oh you need to define commands lol

[signal lodge]

const command = client.commands.get(cmd.toLowerCase()) || client.commands.find(c => c.aliases?.includes(cmd.toLowerCase()));

[sullen wind]

nope

[sullen wind]

thats better

[signal lodge]

this has both command and args

[wicked wave]

all on one line?

[signal lodge]

lemi send the whole file

[sullen wind]

k

[signal lodge]

if (
            message.author.bot ||
            !message.guild ||
            !message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix)
        )
            return;
        if (!message.channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) return

        const [cmd, ...args] = message.content
            .slice(prefix.length)
            .trim()
            .split(/ +/g);
    
        const command = client.commands.get(cmd.toLowerCase()) || client.commands.find(c => c.aliases?.includes(cmd.toLowerCase()));
    
        if (!command) return;
        try{    
            await command.run(client, message, args);
        } catch(err) {
            console.log(err)
        }

wait are u making slash command?

[wicked wave]

no

[sullen wind]

no hes/she not

[signal lodge]

then u can use this

[sullen wind]

idk

[wicked wave]

Where do I add this bit tho

[sullen wind]

I'm using v12 because I understand it better when I'm making a new bot

[signal lodge]

v13 isnt that diff

[sullen wind]

but I understand v13

I hate it honestly

its way too confusing

[signal lodge]

its not

[sullen wind]

especially for a simple bot

eh for me it is

[signal lodge]

add intents
and uh some methods changed

and removed

[wicked wave]

Where am I putting this

I have this

[signal lodge]

do u have a seperate event file?

[sullen wind]

I had to dig up an old repl that still had discord.js v12

[sullen wind]

bc you can't download it anymore

and v13 doesn't work on repl

bc their node isn't up to date

[signal lodge]

client.on("messageCreate", async (message){


})
