keen drift Jan 28, 2019, 12:39 AM

Rounding a number is when you take a number and "bump it up" or "bump it down" to a nearby and "cleaner" number

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

Ahhhh

#

so say you have the number 46

rounding will be up to 50

keen drift Jan 28, 2019, 12:40 AM

you can round 1.234k to 1k

hey guys, i'm new in here, as well, in bot development. I just made a bot in discord.js by node.js, and my bot only stays online when i run the code.

it has any way so i can set the bot online without leaving my code running? because i would need to let my computer on

languid dragon Jan 28, 2019, 2:21 AM

#

you should get a host

#

hosting it on a VPS is ideal to keep it online 24/7

daring sage Jan 28, 2019, 2:21 AM

do i pay anything?

languid dragon Jan 28, 2019, 2:21 AM

yes

a small price of 2.50 if you go to the right hosting service

daring sage Jan 28, 2019, 2:21 AM

got it

languid dragon Jan 28, 2019, 2:22 AM

but that's like $2.50 a month

which is pretty ideal

do you have any indication?

earnest phoenix Jan 28, 2019, 3:45 PM

Ty dad

marble needle Jan 28, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

you have a message event listener in the library which does something whenever your bot receives a message
said message has content, check if the content is "reeee" and if so reply to it

languid dragon Jan 28, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

you learn python and you understand the basics of programming
you make a bot and learn the documentation and get provided the basics of how to manipulate the library
you put 2 and 2 together

good day,
i'd be very thankful if you could help me.

i have a certain audio within a Buffer in nodejs.
i can successfully fs.writeFileSync('file.wav',buffer) and play file.wav on my pc.
How can i play that buffer with discordjs' connection.playStream() / playArbitraryInput() / ... ?

When feeding the buffer into the play function(s), i get an error message stating TypeError: this.inputMedia.pipe is not a function I have tried converting the buffer to a stream with ReadableStreamBuffer.put(buffer);. When i feed the stream into the play functions i dont get an error message anymore, but the sound doesnt play. The bots speaking indicator (the circle around the profilepic) is not showing up.
What can i do?

#

(without saving a temporary file on my pc!)

amber fractal Jan 28, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

Well is this.inputMedia.pipe a function Thonk

viral spade Jan 28, 2019, 7:30 PM

i guess it is on a stream object, not on a buffer object. i dont know

@versed cedar you need to add an callback function

like this

#

   client.on('ready',  function() {
      // your code
   })

#

or with ES6 syntax

#

   client.on('ready',  () => {

i think it's the best way to learn coding

#

by doing fun stuff like making discord bots

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

You should know how to make an if statement imo

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 5:32 PM

yeah

#

well

#

that shouldnt be that hard

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 5:32 PM

lul, gotta learn the basics before applying the 'learning by doing' concept to some degree

idle mountain Jan 29, 2019, 5:33 PM

#

I started learning by making a bot

#

knew nothing previous to making one

#

definitely not the best way to learn, but it sure as heck works

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 5:34 PM

until you come into a dev channel asking for help with something simple

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 5:34 PM

so?

idle mountain Jan 29, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

are you saying that there shouldn't be any simple questions? thonkku

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

not saying it doesn't work, but it's not as fun if you end up running into issues all the time that could've easily been avoided by looking into the basics

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

Asking a question every error you run into isnt how I believe you should learn. Yes, questions are good, but you should know how to debug and find errors in your code by yourself aswell.

discord.js is very beginner friendly

#

and is the most used library

quartz kindle Jan 29, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

https://discord.js.org/

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 6:53 PM

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

It can't find 'discord.io' as a module

#

Looking at the earlier screenshot it looks like you installed discord.js

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

but why would that affect the command?

#

i'm not asking it to find .io...

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

because you're trying to require a module you dont have

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

So you probably have something like const Discord = require("discord.io");

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

what command do i need instead?

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

Its not a command

#

just somewhere you do ...require("discord.io")

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

Rephrasing then, what do I need instead of node bot.js?

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

node bot.js is fine

#

In your actual code, you have it requiring discord.io

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

but that's what's caused the above...

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

It's the inside code that caused it

#

not actually running it

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

because node bot.js runs the bot.js file

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

ah rats

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

If you're using discord.io code you should probably change it

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

just find that require("discord.io")

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

I believe discord.io isn't maintained anymore

mossy vine Jan 29, 2019, 7:41 PM

Discord.io doesnt work anymore iirc

discord.js

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 7:57 PM

they have a working implementation as simple as it gets on their homepage

I'm using node bot.js, but it's not responding...

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 7:58 PM

still not coming online

#

Hang on... Is this the problem?

#

📎 unknown.png

#

is it because I haven't 'named' the bot, and therefore the command is wrong?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

you're not even connecting

#

you're missing <client>.login(<token>); at the end of your file

#

where <client> is "bot" in your case and <token> is a string of your bot's token

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:00 PM

so put that on line 40?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:03 PM

your bot's token

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

the long one i've got in the auth file?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

did you create an application via discord's developer panel

#

yea

#

you access that with auth.token or whatever you called the key in your json object

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

OK, changed those, but my CMD prompt seems to be having a problem with the token. should it have "" on it?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

yes

#

your token is a string

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:05 PM

I'm learning slowly! lol

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:06 PM

what problem is it having

#

it needs to have "" around it in your json file

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

yeah it does in the json

#

i added "" to the token in the js, CMD is just rerunning now

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:08 PM

you could use console.log(); for starters to have readable console output that isn't an object lmao

your client did what it was supposed to do on the ready event

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:10 PM

so I just leave the CMD screen open now, and leave it alone to keep it running, yeah?

#

Bad news is that it's not working as I would like it to.

#

📎 unknown.png

mossy vine Jan 29, 2019, 8:15 PM

#

that would be message.content.substring

#

message is an object containing a shit ton of stuff

#

message.content is the actual text that the user sends

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:15 PM

#

In theory, I should type DD/Ping! and get Pong! back

#

so what should line 23 be? if (message.content.substring(0, 1) == 'DD/') {?

mossy vine Jan 29, 2019, 8:16 PM

#

exactly

#

actually lemme check docs real quick

#

i dont know why you would use .substring tho

#

message.content is enough

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

what do you want to achieve with substring

restive halo Jan 29, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

Got a bit of a stupid issue.
Built in a help command that's meant to return a list of all commands if you just use help with no command afterwards. But it's not recognising the blank. Works if I use it for commands though

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

yours is easier to resolve than mine i suspect, nuclear! lol

restive halo Jan 29, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

Probably lol. The reason my bot broke earlier was because I missed a space bar

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

I'm still learning how to build bots and code... as you've seen it's a slow process! xD

restive halo Jan 29, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

Fixed it by replacing '' with null smh
Good luck fixing your thing though!

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

@pastel edge to figure out whether or not your message starts with your prefix you can take a different and probably better approach, look into String.prototype.split() on mdn

#

nvm i meant .split()

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

which line?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

the one where you're trying to figure out your prefix

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

I though my prefix was DD/ ?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

if you split message.content with a whitespace you get an array of words in the message, array[0] should be the command, now you can split the command with "" (without anything) and set a limit of your prefix length. That will split your command into two array elements, index 0 which should be your prefix and index 1 which should be the command

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

I assume I need to be looking at the following line:

#

if (message.content(0, 1) == 'DD/') {*

#

Am I right so far?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

var msg_arr = message.content.split(" "); //Split message into array
var cmd = msg_arr[0]; //First element is your command
var cmd_arr = cmd.split("", <yourprefix>.length); //splits your command into two elements, [0] should be the alleged prefix

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

Like i say, i'm a real rookie with coding, hence all the stupid sounding questions

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

everyone started at some point its alright

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

so does that mean that line 23 is ok, it's 24 and 25 i need to be looking at?

#

📎 unknown.png

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

yes you need to be looking at what you highlighted

#

given what i sent earlier (the codeblock) you can check if(cmd_arr[0] === "DD/"){ ... }, the command you want to process would effectively be cmd_arr[1]

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

so in theory, if i remove 24 and 25, and replace them with the var coding you gave me, would that fix it?

hidden ginkgo Jan 29, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

Assuming you want to ensure a space between the prefix and command

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

at the moment, what i'm hoping to get from the bot is as follows:

#

Me: DD/Ping!"

#

Bot: Pong!

valid frigate Jan 29, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

i would suggest making the prefix lowercase

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

The DD/?

valid frigate Jan 29, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

yeah

#

make it dd/

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

ok. out of interest, any particular reason?

valid frigate Jan 29, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

some people don't capitalize sentences and if it's case sensitive, the bot won't read it

#

also generally good practice

#

but your choice

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

is there any way to program the bot not to be case sensitive on the prefix?

hidden ginkgo Jan 29, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

Is there no js function for "ignore case"

valid frigate Jan 29, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

it's not by default 😤

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

fair. thanks for the input

valid frigate Jan 29, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

okay

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

<client>.on("message", (message) => {
    var msg_arr = message.content.split(" "); //Split message into array
    var cmd = msg_arr[0]; //First element is your command
    var cmd_arr = cmd.split("", <yourprefix>.length); //splits your command into two elements, [0] should be the alleged prefix
    
    if(cmd_arr[0] === "DD/"){ //If command starts with your prefix...
        //do cmd stuff
    }
}

this should do the job without the substring memery

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

Rye, do I use that in place of lines 24&5?

#

Or is that in addition to what I already have?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

wait a second what are you passing as params in the message listener lol

#

https://i.ryeqb.me/b0b24a8028.png

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

That's line 20, yeah

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

https://i.ryeqb.me/588a8693a0.png

#

djs passes a single message object

#

you'll have to get the user, the user's id and whatnot from the message object itself

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

so does that mean that message should just be ' ' ?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

that means you remove every parameter you are passing in the event listener other than message

#

on line 20 everything you threw into the brackets except for message doesn't belong there, you can call it however you want it will always represent the message your bot received but the on.message listener only passes one thing

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

so does line 20 just need to be bot.on { then?

#

or bot.on ('message') {?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

bot.on('message', function(message){. . .});

#

or with arrow notation bot.on('message', (message) => {});

#

both essentially the same thing

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

line 20 amended, is now:

#

bot.on('message', function(message){. . .}); {

#

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

the docs won't help you all that much if you dont know basic syntax

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

do not use youtube tutorials for learning, reasons stated above

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

i mean they will but to a limited extent

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

if someone suggests you to use youtube tutorials over something else, they most likely did that too and their bot is probably very shitty

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

We'll use yt tutorials for learning how to make the shell of your bot, and for someone that is new that would be very useful to use

earnest phoenix Jan 29, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

you're completly ignoring the fact that you need to know a language to make anything in it, e.g a bot

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

so where it says client.on, i need to type bot.on etc, correct?

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

Client.on is bot.on

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

so one and the same?

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

how did you name your variable?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

he named it bot

#

so you'll have to use "bot" wherever the docs or tutorials mention "client"

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

yup

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

You would know that you pay attention to that you have var bot = Discord.Client();

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

use const

#

for constant variables

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

Yes do that, const will be a lot better to use than var

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

~~doesnt really change much except throw an error when you attempt to change it~~

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

so everywhere i have var needs to be ammended to const?

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

just good to define constants as const tho

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

no

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

mmLol

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

only use constant if your not going to change the value

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

Only things that wont change

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

of that variable

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

normally your modules wont change

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

And use the let keyword and the const keyword to define variables

#

If you don't know when to use which one, take the codeacmady Js course

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

I use var 😢

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

no lol

#

don't use codecademy

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

You can use var, but let and const will be more handy to use than just using var, but there are times that var is best to use

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

iirc var and let just changes the scope

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

brilliant. so now that we're back to the start, that still doesn't resolve the fact that my existing code seems to have crashed...

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

where it can be used

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

I would tell you this Delta, rewrite your code

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

message.content is not a function, it returns a string

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

you already said that

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

you cannot slam brackets onto everything

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

right

#

i've rewritten the code

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

What he means is message.content is not a method, or function(both are valid) this means it doesn't take in any parameters, so I would change that to message.contenr.startsWith("<string>");

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

Now looks like this

#

📎 unknown.png

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

Thonk

#

Have you considered vsc?

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

Good news. sending the command no longer sends the bot offline

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

the 'ready' event doesn't pass any parameter, what's "evt" doing in the callback

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

bad news; it's not returning the expected response

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

Yes

#

Do ping

inner jewel Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

you never log in

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

bruh

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

he probably just removed that because of his token on the screenshot

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

Oh did not see that there

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

^

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

he removed the token

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

he was logged in before

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

i removed the token to post the printscreen

#

it's still in the script

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

you should make an config.json

#

with your token

#

and prefix

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

he does

#

its called "auth"

restive bough Jan 29, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

ah

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

hes just not using it for whatever reason

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

Delta send me a server invite link in dms, will try to see what's wrong

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Rye, should i have auth being referred to in the bot script then?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

if your json config looks like this (for example)

{
"token" : "hue"
}```

you access your token with auth.token

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

Its not that mates

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

if you use "auth.token" in the login method you don't have to modify your code to take screenshots

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

He forgot to include the prefix

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

i had that feeling but meh

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

right, so correcting those

#

How do i add the prefix?

#

what do i add on the login line?

#

to refer back to auth

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

bot.login(auth.whateveryourtokenkeyiscalledinyourjsonfile);

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

it only checks if the message starts with ping, its not checking for a prefix anyways wym

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

Yee

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

so bot.login(auth.auth); ?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:29 PM

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

You can do that if you want to

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

whatever your token is defined as in your json file

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:30 PM

right. which line do i need to edit to put a prefix on it?

#

is that line 23?

sick cloud Jan 29, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

set a variable in your config

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

under your bot.on("message"..... Put let prefix = "dd/";

sick cloud Jan 29, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

no

#

that means your setting a variable every message

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Tony you don't need to have it in config

sick cloud Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

a config contains information you don't change

#

prefixes go in there

amber fractal Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

I do it in the message event because they can customize it

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

It doesn't matter where it is, as long it's defined in your file it works

quartz kindle Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

you can set prefixes in a global variable/object at the beginning of the file

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

the aim for this bot is that it plays soundbites on command

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

Tim knows all

sick cloud Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

yeah but static content in the file is dumb

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

It's not dumb

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

essentially any command needs to have dd/ first ideally

sick cloud Jan 29, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

my average config now:

{
    "token": "token",
    "invite": "https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize/?permissions=0&scope=bot&client_id=id",
    "prefixes": ["...", "<@id> ", "<@!id> "],
    "botLists": {
    ...
    }
}

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

So in your message.content.startsWith(); do prefix + "ping"

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

so if (message.content.startsWith(dd/+ "ping")) { ?

sick cloud Jan 29, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

no

vernal rivet Jan 29, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

Put your let prefix = "dd/"; on line 22

#

message.content.startsWith(prefix + "ping"); just like that

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 9:39 PM

#

still not picking up

#

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 9:41 PM

i think at this point you're better off checking the website i linked earlier and rewriting your entire bot without the stuff that deprecated tutorial taught you

there's gotta be some initiative from your side aswell, we can't sit here for hours on end repeating ourselves 3 times a minute

slim heart Jan 29, 2019, 9:43 PM

signal prairie Jan 29, 2019, 10:04 PM

Well... For the command I use a Command Handler so the commands are files in a folder called commands

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 10:04 PM

you referring to the login bit, Rye?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

yes

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

i tried it, but couldn't bring the bot online with it

#

just to confirm, it should be bot.login("token"), yes?

signal prairie Jan 29, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

Did you type bot.login(config.token);?

marble needle Jan 29, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

bot.login(auth.token); in your case

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

ok, thank you

#

so what do i need to do to configure it to require a prefix? i can't figure that out...

#

currently lines 17-22 are as follows:

#

bot.on("message", (message) => {
let prefix = "dd/";
if (message.content.startsWith('prefix' + "ping"); {
message.channel.send("pong!");
}
});

signal prairie Jan 29, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

let prefix = "<prefix>"; or let prefix = auth.prefix; above the command

pastel edge Jan 29, 2019, 10:11 PM

Hey does anyone know what Discord.Message in Discord JS gives?

bright spear Jan 30, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

huh

mossy vine Jan 30, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Message

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

crude portal Jan 30, 2019, 8:02 AM

#

So it's the same as msg in client.on("message", msg => ...)?

#

But it's defined out of the message event

sick cloud Jan 30, 2019, 8:02 AM

#

where's this apparent Discord.Message

crude portal Jan 30, 2019, 8:03 AM

#

It's the same as Discord.Client() but it's Discord.Message

bright spear Jan 30, 2019, 8:03 AM

#

no..

#

Message is just the message object
