okay thanks

  for (let i = 0; i != reactions.length; ++i) {
      // we use the index to calculate the time we want to wait: 750 * 0, 750 * 1, ... for each index.
      // that way we can ensure the `message.react` calls are separated 750 ms
      setTimeout(() => message.react(reactions[i]), 750 * i);
  }
}

    const channel = await client.channels.fetch(id)
  
    channel.messages.fetch().then((messages) => {

        // Send a new message
        channel.send(text).then((message) => {
          addReactions(message, reactions)

}

tip: add the file extension after the 3 ` to get syntax highlighting

#

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:22 PM

okay !

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:22 PM

#

what is your issue again

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:23 PM

#

this

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:23 PM

#

ah right

#

basically you fetched the channel

#

now in that channel you got a bunch of messages

#

wait

#

i think you sent the wrong file

#

I dont see this in the file you gave

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:24 PM

#

  console.log("The LS-Bot is Online")

   
    //START OF THE MESSAGE SEND by ITSELF 
    //Get the channel
    const channel = await  client.channels.fetch('969790950220132462');
    const sendMessage = await channel.send({
      content: '@.everyone',
      embeds: [{
        title: 'Embed Title',
        description: 'The Description',
        color: '#000000',
        image: {url: ''}, 
        footer: { text: 'This is a footer' } ,
        author: ({ name: `${member.user.username}`, iconURL: member.user.avatarURL({ dynamic: true }) })

      }]
    }) 
    //TO EDIT BOTS OWN MESSAGE
    //.then(x => x.edit('content'));

    sendMessage.react('💞')
   //END HERE```

#

that was added by me from my old bot and it seems to not work

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

uhh

#

that is not your full code

#

sned the entire file

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

wait but it is

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

swift badger ```ts client.once("ready", async () => { console.log("The LS-Bot is Online") ...

this is in index.js

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

are you sure

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

brazen warren ```js const addReactions = (message, reactions) => { for (let i = 0; i != reac...

and this is in first-message.js

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:26 PM

#

what member are you truing to get

#

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:27 PM

#

the authors picture and name

#

something like this

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:27 PM

#

but

#

you are running that code when the bot starts

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:27 PM

#

is that bad ?

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:28 PM

#

uh no

#

you pasted your code in the wrong place

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:28 PM

#

why ?

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:29 PM

#

because why would you want to run that code when the bot starts

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:29 PM

#

thats kinda true. the code works tho. can i makle this lets say if i write !send in a specific private channel and this thing is sent to lets say #News?

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

To be honest I have no idea what you want to do

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

its ok

#

i can explain

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

try to explain in detail what you are trying to do

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

this script makes the bot send the message when its turned on

here is how it looks like :

now i am asking this

can i make the script to be sent when i want to? and not when the bot is turned on?
-so like this, i write !Send in a private text channel that only the admins see, then the bot will function on my !send words and send the message in a public text channel

#

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

make a send command

#

and when you run it the command should send a message in your channel

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

can you please help with that ?

#

    if (message.content === "!send") {```

#

something like this ?

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

ye

#

that looks like a start

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

and write this on the top ?

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

yeah

#

in it make sure that the person running the command isnt a random person

#

aka make sure that the message author is you or smth

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:34 PM

#

how do i do that ?

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:34 PM

#

and why do you need a bot to do this?

#

whats the point

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

so that the bot sends a message by itself

#

andnot by me yk

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

ah ok

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

swift badger how do i do that ?

make sure that message.author.id is equal to your discord id(which is 392436251820687360)

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

okay lets do that a little later because i have this problem

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

ok then

#

do you have any existing commands setup?

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

for this script ?

#

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

I think you didnt make this yourself

#

before modifying the code

#

figure out what the current code does

#

and how everything works

#

if you dont why are you even trying to do this stuff

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

i watched the video by wornoff keys for 2 hours, i rewrote it myself and i modified it

#

and i understand it

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

seems like you dont considering you are trying to make a command inside of ready

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

what do you want me to do?

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:40 PM

#

I want you to find your event where you listen for new messages

#

and then copy paste your current code for making the command there

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:41 PM

#

what about this ?

#

could this be the..

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

uhh

#

idk what it is

#

your code is organized in a strange way

swift badger Apr 30, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

it is? (

brazen warren Apr 30, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

yeah

#
