Nvm I'm not making embed, it just like a design anyways.
I wanna make it that the bot DM's a welcome message.
.createDM right?
twilit geode
its probably a good idea to get embeds down, they make your bot look alot nicer
queen hamlet
its probably a good idea to get embeds down, they make your bot look alot nicer
Yeah, but I rather do the basics before doing it.
twilit geode
Yeah, but I rather do the basics before doing it.
understandable
queen hamlet
How do I use this thing
twilit geode
?
queen hamlet
Do I just do .createDM before the code?
twilit geode
message.author.createDM()
sudden geyser
<User>.createDM(...)
queen hamlet
message.author.createDM()
Oh, okay thank you.
Does this work:
client.on("message", message => { if (message.content === "~dm-me") { message.author.createDM() message.channel.send("🥛 | Hello!") } })
Lemme try
twilit geode
hang on
queen hamlet
message.dm.send?
twilit geode
client.on("message", message => {
if (message.content === "~dm-me") {
message.author.createDM("🥛 | Hello!")
}
})
i think
idk cant test it rn to be sure its right
amber thistle
i thought to dm the author u do message.author.send()?
amber thistle
oh
queen hamlet
Or is createDM outdated cause it does not work-
valid grotto
If you want to send a message, just use author.send
sudden geyser
You create the DM, then you send a message in the returned DMChannel
amber thistle
then theres no need to createDm u can just send
sudden geyser
So you must .createDM(), resolve the promise holding a DMChannel, and use that to .send("the message")
but yes, you can directly send to the user instead with <User>.send() I believe
twilit geode
note to self: "dont give advice before testing code"
valid grotto
Just use .send, if you have no purpose of resolving the DMChannel.
u realize that now
twilit geode
shut it
queen hamlet
Doesn't work, thanks tho.
twilit geode
i main java, not js
sudden geyser
What doesn't work about it.
queen hamlet
whats your error code hughh
No error, it just doesn't DM me.
twilit geode
in your console...
queen hamlet
<@!704596758663135342> u want to dm the user, right?
Yea
valid grotto
No error, it just doesn't DM me.
Send your full code, make sure it's message.author.send
queen hamlet
client.on("message", message => {
if (message.content === "~command-name") {
message.author.send("Hello!")
}
})

and i dont think createDM exists

I have had an issue with text not displaying as "No" when I reply with "n" and I found out after 3 days of looking for the answer (not priority but it bothered me) I put an extra equals sign ;-;
if x == "y" or x == "yes": finalresponses[i] = "Yes"
elif x == "n" or x == "no":
finalresponses[i] == "No"```i think no

Also, how do I make it that you can do a command with any capitalization?
twilit geode
.toLowerCase()
queen hamlet
?
valid grotto
.toLowerCase()
sudden geyser
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/toLowerCase
twilit geode
you have to take the input through .toLowerCase()
zenith gazelle
exampledict = {"y" : "Yes", "yes" : "Yes", "n" : "No", "no" : "No"}
finalresponses[i] = exampledict[x]``` happy? @twilit geode@queen hamlet .toLowerCase() is a function
queen hamlet

HAPPY?????
zenith gazelle
I like .lower() because it makes everything lowercase
sudden geyser
wot
pale vessel
Python
zenith gazelle
oh
stark widget
How do I use it?
u can do message.content.toLowerCase()
zenith gazelle
you arent using python
valid grotto
How do I use it?
sudden geyser
why
stark widget
so if the message was "Hi" it will become "hi"
sudden geyser
they're like { key: value } but make sense
queen hamlet
client.on("message", message => {
if (message.content.toLowerCase ("fuck")) {
message.author.send("Okay.")
}
})
Does that work?
Lemme try.
stark widget
yep
queen hamlet
Worked! Thank you!
twilit geode
hint: it won't work as expected
stark widget
np
sudden geyser
Menin just so you know, that doesn't work correctly
zenith gazelle
isn't there a bot command for tryitoutandsee?
queen hamlet
Now whenever I tell my bot to f it says okay.
zenith gazelle
wrong server nvm
sudden geyser
I know there's a site for it
sudden geyser
no it doesn't.
zenith gazelle
yeah, another server I am in has a command that sends the link
stark widget
in js it does
sudden geyser
no it doesn't
twilit geode
@queen hamlet did you go through the discord.js docs tutorial?
sudden geyser
message.content.toLowerCase() does not take any arguments, so the "fuck" argument does nothing.
It also doesn't check if the content is equal to it
queen hamlet
I tested the thing and people think I am mad at them
sudden geyser
So in reality it's doing implicit condition checking to see if the string is really empty
type anything else and it triggers the command
pale vessel
That's going to DM you "Okay." on every message
stark widget
`message.content.toLowerCase()` does not take any arguments, so the `"fuck"` arg...
it does work
how do i explain
sudden geyser
in fact it'll probably cause an infinite loop omegalul
stark widget
no
twilit geode
in fact it'll probably cause an infinite loop omegalul
howww
sudden geyser
You can't explain it because it doesn't work.
stark widget
IT WORKS
sudden geyser

twilit geode
@sudden geyser how high are YOU
stark widget
i have been using it in 2 bots now
zenith gazelle
I am no js expert but looks like it would work to me
stark widget
and have never found a single problem
queen hamlet
Whenever I say somethign with "F, u, c, k" it DM's me.
twilit geode
const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();
``` is what i use @sudden geyser ...any js bot dev can say that .toLowerCase() works
pale vessel

Whenever I say something with f, u, c, k it DM's me someone help.
stark widget
hmm
twilit geode
make sure its starts with only
queen hamlet
Whatever I say warns me now.
stark widget
@queen hamlet do if(message.content.toLowerCase() === "fuck")
pale vessel
Did you not listen
sudden geyser
<@!345539839393005579> how high are YOU
I'm on the third floor in my room if that's high for you 😎
As I said, if (message.content.toLowerCase("fuck")) {...} is wrong for several reasons:
.toLowerCasetakes no arguments.- You're not checking if the result of making it
.toLowerCaseis equal to the command you want to compare it with. - You're using implicit condition checking, where it'll try converting the value to its truthfully value.
It causes an infinite loop because it passes the if condition, and sends a message. Then, it triggers the message event, evaluates the if condition (which is always true because it's wrong), and does the same thing over and over.
stark widget
that 3 equals will work
queen hamlet
<@!704596758663135342> do `if(message.content.toLowerCase() === "fuck")`
Thank you.

queen hamlet
now last step to finish anti-swear.
How do I make it delete it?
Like when I say "fuck" it deletes my message and dm's me saying not to swear.
pale vessel
You can use <message>.delete();
queen hamlet
I put message to delete <here> ?
sudden geyser
you put your instance of <Message> here
the message event receives a parameter that is an instance of Message
You named it message, so instead of <Message>, you put message.
If you named it msg, you'd use msg instead.
queen hamlet
client.on("message", message => {
if(message.content.toLowerCase() === "shit")
message.author.send("You have been warned. Do not swear.")
<shit>.delete();
}

sudden geyser
Hughh you may want to spend some time learning JavaScript as a language.
pale vessel
Like Lite said, you need to replace that <message> with what parameter you defined for the message callback. You defined it as message so put message instead of <message>
sudden geyser
Yes, also see #development message
pale vessel
That should be pinned if it isn't already.
queen hamlet
Okay
rare moss
shouldn't you always have a grasp on the basics of a language before you start a big project?
jaunty surge
@earnest phoenix I forgot to say thank you to you, thank for helping me!
sudden geyser
Yes, but you can learn a lot from working with a project.
Discord bots usually attract beginners because they're learning to code only because of it, so some want to get directly in action and skip the learning bits.
Hence, you get this channel's state.

Hello. Does anyone know any module that allows me to search for videos on Youtube and that has a safeSearch function?
sudden geyser
Your alternatives are probably going to be using YouTube's API, which is going to have its limits as well. I don't see how that'll work unless you go for something like scraping.

I was using ytsr, but bugs often happen. I think the way will really be to use the YouTube API

i had no idea...
PM
yes
You create a variable with that value

does it have to be const?
bc i did let
Like this: var user = message.members.mentions.first();
.setColor("#FFFFFF")
.setDescription(`**${user}'s Balance**\n\nPocket: ${bal}\nBank: ${bank}`);
message.channel.send(moneyEmbed)```Let, var, const
i dont need mentions
my embed
To display a selected user you must use mentions
oooooo
ic ic ic
earnest phoenix
That's Python?
pale vessel
that won't work
young flame
oh
pale vessel
You need to define that in your code
earnest phoenix
To display a selected user you must use mentions
but... isnt ${user} already a mention?
pale vessel
otherwise the prefix is literally that
young flame
my bot prefix?
pale vessel
Yes
earnest phoenix
but... isnt ${user} already a mention?
No, you must define "user"
young flame
@pale vessel i also have a command to change the prefix to
so how would i structure it
like a normal prefix or
pale vessel
Do you have a database?
earnest phoenix
ooo
young flame
uh yes
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix use this let user = message.members.mentions.first();
pale vessel
Show the prefix from the database if exist. If not, show the default prefix
young flame
Show the prefix from the database if exist. If not, show the default prefix
is a json db fine?
pale vessel
That's a member, not a user
pale vessel
is a json db fine?
Sure, I guess
young flame
oK
pale vessel
You should avoid it though since it could be corrupted easily
earnest phoenix
i did ` let user = message.author;`
That probably returns undefined.
pale vessel
Why would it
earnest phoenix
he's trying to display a target user into an embed
pale vessel
Yeah and why would message.author be undefined?
sudden geyser
I did today
then that's why
when you release updates for a package, a lot of scripts are usually installing it
earnest phoenix
That probably returns undefined.
actually, the code doesnt even do anything, no errors, no values returned, no messages
pale vessel
Package is not popular, I guess... 
sudden geyser
so the number of installs you get don't truly represent the number of users who saw your package and decided to try it for themselves
earnest phoenix
I said probably, idk what's the all code, and he doesn't use user.tag so it wouldn't display something
sudden geyser
something I think Xetera was telling you before
earnest phoenix
console.log(`Daily run successfully!`)
let user = message.members.mentions.first();
let timeout = 86400000;
let amount = 200;
let daily = await db.fetch(`daily_${message.guild.id}_${user.id}`);
if (daily !== null && timeout - (Date.now() - daily) > 0) {
let time = ms(timeout - (Date.now() - daily));

message.channel.send(timeEmbed)

message.channel.send(moneyEmbed)
db.add(`money_${message.guild.id}_${user.id}`, amount)
db.set(`daily_${message.guild.id}_${user.id}`, Date.now())
}

You mean message.mentions.members.first()?
Also, you should fallback to message author if that doesn't exist

It'll require each query to be evaluated one-by-one. I don't think the performance is going to be all that much, unless you're able to merge the queries into one single query.
lusty quest
json works but is bad practise
old latch
is this about custom prefixes?
young flame
i just want to know if they change the prefix will it change the other one
lusty quest
depends on how you save the prefix
pale vessel
https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsoning is better if you really want to use json
young flame
quick.db is bad because if one thing goes wronng you have to reset the entire DB
pale vessel
It can't be corrupted, I think since it uses atomic file writing
lusty quest
if you make a json array within the json and use the guildID as key it will work
sudden geyser
JSON is looked down upon because of the use case in this situation. Think of CLI apps where you have a config.json file. It's completely normal, but as a Discord bot will have an arbitrary activity range, people prefer to use actual databases (SQLite, Postgres, etc.)

And if anyone's wondering my sql pool handler :
let sql = {};
sql.query = function(query, params, callback) {
pool.getConnection(function(err, connection) {
if(err) {
if (callback) callback(err, null, null);
return;
}
connection.query(query, params, function(error, results, fields) {
connection.release();
if(error) {
if (callback) callback(error, null, null);
return;
}
if (callback) callback(false, results, fields);
});
});
};
the default prefixes is + and mention the bot
pale vessel
Please wrap it with promise
young flame
i want to know if someone doesn't like the + they can change that
but the mention stays
lusty quest
yes. but i would have to look it up first bcs i never used json as a storage bcs its slow, easy corrupted.
restive furnace
SQLite is what I use
lusty quest
any type of proper db is already better than json
json is fine for static configs but not for dynamic stuff or if it get written a lot on it

also letters
i feel like dank memer is the only one that actually uses letters
young flame
Depends on the bot's name
roses
earnest phoenix
like pls
lusty quest
use a insult as prefix. the bot will be non functional at some servers that use word filters.
earnest phoenix

earnest phoenix
maybe rs
young flame
oo

nope

twilit geode
hey how do you convert from int to char in js
lusty quest
number to string?
lusty quest
never heard of it.
twilit geode
in java char is a primative data type that is a single ASCII character
young flame
how would i make a command
send a message then after it sent the message check if it did
hollow sedge
@twilit geode you know there's a Java lib for discord right?
twilit geode
send a message then after it sent the message check if it did
thats technically impossible
young flame
i spent 5 hours-
twilit geode
i saw a video over it the other day
lusty quest
send a message then after it sent the message check if it did
so you want the bot to send a message after someone answered to a question from the bot?
and then send again a message?
lusty quest
there are 2 ways, use a message event that doesnt listen to your prefix or use message collectors
twilit geode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP-rGJKSZ3s why it is technically impossible
lusty quest
wtf i have 5k results and im now for almost a year here

Where can I get the DBL WEBHOOK password
young flame
it took 4 hours to fix one line of code with 3 people helping me
lusty quest
Where can I get the DBL WEBHOOK password
you generate one and set it on the website
client.on("message")(msg){
if(msg.toLowerCase().contains("hi")) return msg.channel.send("hi")
}
``` @young flame this does more or less what you want to do (but its not really good practise to use a 2nd listener to the message event)You create it yourself
ionic shard
this maybe the most annoying question but does someone knows how can i get real time data from api?
To be more clear...
I'm trying to make an embed when a new transaction takes place in a specific wallet (BTC)
Easy solution is to keep looping on the api to find any new transactions. But that would be not good if i have a lot of address to look through....
I am trying to make an event that triggers when a new transaction takes place so i can notify the use....
lusty quest
use a timer to shedule a api call ever few minutes. unless the API you use got a client that can spawn events you can listen on
earnest phoenix
```js
client.on("message")(msg){
if(msg.toLowerCase().contains("hi")) return msg...
client.on("message")(msg)
ionic shard
im using this api
https://sochain.com/api#realtime-balance-updates
lusty quest
`client.on("message")(msg)`
did you think i send complete valid code snippets?
earnest phoenix
lusty quest
im using this api
```https://sochain.com/api#realtime-balance-updates```
they dont have a client so you are probably stuck to using a timer
ionic shard
aw ok
sick sluice
mm no
restive furnace
just change the css color inside dev console
lusty quest
?
young flame
like
once it sends hi set it like TRUE and the call a function to see if it was sent
lusty quest
but why?
earnest phoenix
I'm confused, what are you trying to do moon
lusty quest
you can use .catch() to catch an error if the message fails to be sended
earnest phoenix
You don't have to check it was sent
lusty quest
or a try/catch block
earnest phoenix
Because if it didn't get sent it would return a promise rejection
young flame
its not a error
lusty quest
if the message fails to be send you get an error
or did you want them in a certain order?
lusty quest
then use async code
lusty quest
then it will send one message and awaits until its done then it sends the next one
earnest phoenix
messages returns a collection of messages
young flame
const filter = m => m.content.includes('discord');
const collector = message.channel.createMessageCollector(filter, { time: 15000 });
collector.on('collect', m => {
console.log(`Collected ${m.content}`);
});
would that work
lusty quest
?
young flame
but i have it filter the word i want then after it collects it run the other functions
like
lusty quest
i have no idea what you want to do. the stuff you write here is quite random
earnest phoenix
What is she trying to do, [Confusion]
earnest phoenix
Are you trying to sent stuff in order but like, what else?
lusty quest
yes but i dont get it. you want the bot to react to hi, then you want to send messages in a certain order then you are again at message collectors that are somewhat connected to the bot reacting to hi
young flame
so it sends the warning message
tardy hornet
<@!723081690792067143> DBL = Top.gg
yeah but, the one that tells you how to set the bot card
and stuff
young flame
but after that i want it to check to see if it sent the warning message and mute them
lusty quest
so you want to add a new bot?
earnest phoenix
but after that i want it to check to see if it sent the warning message and mute...
[Visible Confusion]
"if it sent the warning message"
lusty quest
so you want to see if someone spams?
young flame
sigh
tardy hornet
so you want to add a new bot?
nvm bro
young flame
i already can
listen
once they spam
the bot
send a warning
after the warning
it should mute them
lusty quest
we have to make it step by step bcs your informations are a bit consufsing
lusty quest
so it fails to set the Mute Role
young flame
it fails to call the entire mute function
lusty quest
the mute function is only for voice
earnest phoenix
mute function?
lusty quest
if you want to mute text channels you need a role
lusty quest
yes. but discord doesnt offer any buildin function to mute users in Text Channels
earnest phoenix
Wtf is happening
young flame
the mute function is only for voice
its
lusty quest
did you got the role thing sorted out
your not listening
lusty quest
this is what i wanted to know lol
young flame
if you look the mute function or part only runs if they are warned
its not running cause its not setting them as warned
i just want to know how to set them as warned
lusty quest
a quick reminder, dont use a timeout for temporary muting people
i can recomend using redis for it
earnest phoenix
Just set a boolean to a database sort of thing, if it's true then mute
young flame
im using maps
earnest phoenix
It should still work
lusty quest
but you still store it somewhere right?
young flame
i want to store it using maps
lusty quest
bcs maps and timeouts are not persistent over restarts
stable nimbus
Something changed on me and I wasn’t ready for it, how do I define something when doing a randomNum sequence? Currently I’m getting an [object Promise] return when I should be getting an item. Here is the code:
young flame
it's temporary
lusty quest
yes but something has to trigger it
young flame
THATS WHAT I ASKED
earnest phoenix
Something changed on me and I wasn’t ready for it, how do I define something whe...
You should better store those in an array and get a random one
lusty quest
i would define it as a function
young flame
how
lusty quest
like ```js
function isWarned(userid){
//your code checking if the provided userid is warned
}
hm
lusty quest
then just call somewhere isWarned(userid)
lusty quest
then set it true
young flame
like once it sends the warning message it is like IsWarned = true;
I DONT KNOW HOW TO SET IT TO TRUE
young flame
if i did i wold not be here rn
rustic nova
return true 
earnest phoenix
Set it to true
earnest phoenix
lusty quest
lowercase
cinder patio
that's not related to maps
earnest phoenix
Warns.get(<ID>).isWarned = true```Yes, and to check if the user is warned
young flame
young flame
it took me 7 hours just to figure this out lool
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
Yes
young flame
wtf is that
lusty quest
dont ask you wont get it
lusty quest
but its for Machine Learning with C#
young flame
i know c#
earnest phoenix
Machine learning on crack
lusty quest
why did you then write a bot in js?
young flame
i know alot of programming languages just retarted with functions
lusty quest
C# is more efficent in my opinion
young flame
it is
stable nimbus
You should better store those in an array and get a random one
Something like this?
young flame
this bot is more of a fun build
earnest phoenix
Yes
young flame
i have a bot made in elixir that took 1 month to make
lusty quest
is it fun to figure out how to make a single function for 7 Hours?
young flame
thats me being sireous
young flame
is it fun to figure out how to make a single function for 7 Hours?
ig
then i can clown myself
stable nimbus
Okay. I’ll get to work, thank you Voltrex
stable nimbus
Yes
young flame
once it took me 4 hours with 5 people helping me to fix one line of code
lusty quest
well sometimes you just cant see the issue, if im at this point i take a break and maybe get an idea later
young flame
yeah
earnest phoenix
The thing is, you shouldn't push yourself too hard while coding
If you can't get an idea of why your stuff doesn't work just take a break
lusty quest
had this the last time when ive made the multi language support for my bot. i use a Github repo for having the Translations open source and easy to merge if someone makes corrections or want to add a new translation.
young flame
it turned red
lusty quest
i just need to restart the bot to get the latest language file loaded
young flame
idk
earnest phoenix
Arrow
lusty quest
why a lambda function?
young flame
oh isnt that how you call it?
lusty quest
you can use it but you need to tell what you want to get
earnest phoenix
They can be called an arrow function or lambda function
young flame
if((a) => {
});
idk
lusty quest
this is not how they work in js
young flame
so remove the arrow function?
earnest phoenix
Just remove =>
lusty quest
everything before = is to fetch the user
cinder patio
Maybe you wouldn't have 30k messages in this channel if you actually took your time to learn the language you're using? Just a thought
earnest phoenix
It should be
usersMap.set(<ID>, {
isWarned: true
})``` if they're not in the mapok
weak parrot
Using the <style> tag within your long description. Below is just example
<style>
body {
background-color: black;
}
</style>
you spammed on a server and the bot sends a DM?
sour oxide
my bot does
young flame
and it muted me but i set the timeout for 10 seconds to test it
rustic nova
my bot does
lusty quest
i still would recomend using something like Redis to temporary store the muted users. if your bot mute someone and a few seconds after it restarts the user will stay perma muted
young flame
it only resets when the bot is turned off and on right
but if the bot is always on it wont reset
lusty quest
(you can get a free redis server and it emits a event if a entrys ttl runs out) if your bot restarts for some reason its broken
like even apply an update to break it
young flame
mhm

@lusty quest oh and
is there a way to make a filter for mentions and invites?
like if there not spamming messages but invites or spamming a role or user mention
lusty quest
you can use regex to match all urls or certain urls
and mentions is also relatively easy
steel drum
i assume the library you are using automatically stores mention data
young flame
im using maps to store each message
i want to make a filter so i can use my regex for mentions to filter the messages out
so it isnt just like oh there spamming instead of oh there spamming mentions
steel drum
for example for discord.js you can do ```js
const users = msgObject.mentions.users;
const guildMembers = msgObject.mentions.members;
const allMentionsInGeneral = msgObject.mentions;
I am currently doing something like that, I will set a conf that a limit of mentions then use message.mentions.members.size also you can include the roles or channels mentions
young flame
for example for discord.js you can do ```js
const users = msgObject.mentions.use...
wut
in maps?
sour oxide
please help i can't get my bot to work without admin perm
lusty quest
@sour oxide what stuff did you added?
steel drum
if you're storing the messages in a map, the mentions will be stored with it..
i dont see why they wouldnt be
young flame
oh
so no filter neeed?
i have a anti message spam command and a anti mention spam one
earnest phoenix
what did they add in new version of discord.js?
steel drum
you can check to see if there are any mentions
young flame
how would you do that?
sour oxide
<@!482459199213928459> what stuff did you added?
it adds channels and stuff and without admin perm i couldn't find how to send messages; without admin perm it throws forbidden access error
south falcon
hi
lusty quest
manage channels permission
sour oxide
yes i tried that but it didn't work
lusty quest
and probably send messages possible manage messages
young flame
ok
lusty quest
also the role of the bot has to allow the creation of Channels
sour oxide
also the role of the bot has to allow the creation of Channels
where is that?
steel drum
@sour oxide you should be checking to see if the bot has permissions for whatever actions you're trying to do before you try to do them
young flame
<@!764418996505804820> https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/MessageMe...
so like message.mentions.has ect
and it will filter automatically
sour oxide
<@!482459199213928459> you should be checking to see if the bot has permissions ...
yeah that's what i've been doig
lusty quest
make sure to use some detailed informations for errors if your bot doesnt got the Permission. like just writing no permission wont help you. if you check for certain permissions make sure to add the same permission to the error or you wont be able to find the issue
earnest phoenix
like if ur on discord.js
sour oxide
It's not a permission error, it's an access error
lusty quest
permissions grants your access
earnest phoenix
if (!message.member.hasPermissions("ADMINISTRATOR"))
{
// stuff here
}
i had the manage channels/messages and stuff
earnest phoenix
so simple
lusty quest
TERI its not really helping. his bot works with Admin permissions but not with lower ones
and this is bad
lusty quest
since it can get you denied here
earnest phoenix
oh
steel drum
loooooool
young flame
bruh
earnest phoenix
i also need help but ill ask later
young flame
if it only works on admin im 99% theres a permission error
^^
young flame
ok
earnest phoenix
ok
sour oxide
So my bot makes private channels so that only specific members may see them (it disables the @everyone role from seeing it), and when I don't have administrator.
Wait that may be my issue, I probably have to enable myself before removing @everyone...
message.mentions.ROLES_PATTERN
message.mentions.USERS_PATTERN
message.mentions.EVERYONE_PATTERN
that would filter it right @steel drum
sour oxide
did you get errors?
Yeah i got a Missing Access error or something when the bot tried to say something in the channel
lusty quest
dmChannel is not a thing
lusty quest
Yeah i got a Missing Access error or something when the bot tried to say somethi...
so its a permission error. give the bot permissions for the channel or handle such errors
young flame
uh
createDM
im pretty sure
or member.send
should dm the user your message
or in you message event you have run commands in dms off
so you can like have a message content thing
basically the same

I'll try changing channel perms
lusty quest
dmChannel is not a thing
ok dmChannel is a thing but for some reason your context is not defined
young flame

message.mentions.USERS_PATTERN
message.ment...
@lusty quest that would filter it right
lusty quest
i dont think so
young flame
or should i just use a regex and try to find a way to implement it
well i have a regex for mentions
idk how to put it in my maps
lusty quest
never used regex on maps so idk its probably possible but i would have to search it first too
carmine summit
how do I do debug?
lusty quest
read the error and understand what causes the error

how do I do debug?
client or bot.on(debug)

if you want to debug your code but still have it run just do
client.on("debug", console.log)
i was being difficult
i ca just use this
if (message.content.includes('discord.gg/'||'discordapp.com/invite/')) { //if it contains an invite link
message.delete() //delete the message
.then(message.channel.send('Link Deleted:\n**Invite links are not permitted on this server**'))
