EASY ISSUE Timeout (Please help)

[gentle kraken]

I want to delete a message, it works

.then(msg => msg.delete({ timeout: 20000 }));

But it deletes immediately and I added 2000 which is supposed to be 20 seconds...

[merry swallow]

You were already answered weren't you? Use setTimeout

[gentle kraken]

[gentle kraken]

Bruh LOl. One yes and no

[deep kiln]

xdd

[deep kiln]

please learn js #resources

[merry swallow]

Put msg.delete() in setTimeout callback
All I'm saying

[gentle kraken]

I know how to do it but just forgot

[deep kiln]

setTimeout is one of the most basic functions of js

[gentle kraken]

.then(msg => msg.delete setTimeout(()=>{
},timeInMs)

[lone pasture]

const msg = await message.channel.send("hey");
setTimeout(() => void msg.delete(), 5000);```
example

[merry swallow]

Don't spoonfeed

[gentle kraken]

Ohhh okay. So wait whats void?

[deep kiln]

if you dont know, you dont know js

[gentle kraken]

I will try this

setTimeout(() => msg.delete(), 5000);

[merry swallow]

Actually, I didn't know about it until about 1 week ago

[deep kiln]

✅

still @gentle kraken please learn js

[gentle kraken]

Okay,

Uhh

.setTimeout(() => msg.delete(), 5000);

This is now just not deleting the message

5000 is like 5 seconds

[supple charm]

why is there dot before setTimeout

show full code

[gentle kraken]

        const enabled = true;
        const roleName = 'DJ';
        if (enabled) {
            const roleDJ = message.guild.roles.cache.find(x => x.name === roleName);
            if (!roleDJ) return message.channel.send(`This command is reserved for members with the ${roleName} role on the server`).setTimeout(() => msg.delete(), 5000);
            else;
            if (!message.member._roles.includes(roleDJ.id)) {
                return message.channel.send(`⚠️ - This command is reserved for members with the ${roleName} role on the server`).setTimeout(() => msg.delete(), 5000);
            }
        }

[merry swallow]

[supple charm]

[deep kiln]

.then(msg=>{
setTimeout(()=>{
msg.delete()
},5000)})

[gentle kraken]

Thank you.

[deep kiln]

you could

[merry swallow]

Now u are spoonfeeding

[deep kiln]

ye, ik, just wanted to be done with him

[brittle mural]

next time just use the damn tag @deep kiln @merry swallow

[wind granite]

The timeout option has been removed from the Message#delete method.

- message.delete(5000)
- message.delete({ timeout: 5000 })
+ setTimeout(() => { message.delete() }, 5000)

[brittle mural]

so its technically not spoonfeeding if we have a tag dedicated for it

and yes, I just pinged you for that

[merry swallow]

we told him everything on that tag... including the exact function

[deep kiln]

ok

[brittle mural]

and? just use the tag next time so they actually get what you mean so you can avoid useless stuff like what happened here

[deep kiln]

i didnt know there was a tag for that

[merry swallow]

me neither

[brittle mural]

now you know
