Getting client permissions | discord.js - imagine an app | Page 1

#

I'm trying to check for client's permissions for a command, just in case the bot ends up not having the right permissions. I've tried if (command.userPerms && !interaction.guild.me.permissions.has(command.userPerms)), but it says permissions is undefined.

#

what is command.userPerms?

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:37 AM

#

it's an array of the permissions flags

#

for each command

#

I think i'm not accessing the client's permissions correctly

#

im not sure what the correct way is

serene tangle Jun 19, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

can you please log and show it

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

log?

#

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'permissions')

serene tangle Jun 19, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

yeah, console.log(command.userPerms)

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:39 AM

#

it's just

#

"ADMINISTRATOR"

#

oh

#

I realized in my description it says userPerms

#

I meant to say botPerms

#

disregard userPerms

#

also, what is interaction? is this code callbacking after you execute a command?

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

its a parameter

#

it's in my interactionCreate event

serene tangle Jun 19, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

can you try loggin interaction.guild.me?

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

I got a guild object

serene tangle Jun 19, 2022, 3:47 AM

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

        command.botPerms &&
        !interaction.guild.me.permissions.has(command.botPerms) //check for client's permission
      ) {
        return interaction.reply({
          ephemeral: true,
          embeds: [
            new MessageEmbed()
              .setColor(Embed.wrongcolor)

                  `, `

              )
              .setFooter(`${Embed.footertext}`, client.user.displayAvatarURL()),
          ],

#

do you have server members intent enabled on https://discord.com/developers/applications and at your Client object aswell? Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:51 AM

#

yes

#

I do

serene tangle Jun 19, 2022, 3:53 AM

#

can you try changing permissions.has(command.botPerms) to permissions.has('ADMINISTRATOR'), just to try

#

because it's very strange, everything is alright

dense river Jun 19, 2022, 3:57 AM

#

#

console logging is giving me true...

#

i will try uncommenting and see if it works

#

....

#

#

#

#

thank you for your assistance/time
