Bot executed all command when started up

[final forum]

So when you log in into Whatsapp web, whatsapp will fetch all the new message, my bot will respond to almost all of them and will create a massive spam. can this be prevented?

[lapis oriole]

Just ignore it based on timestamp of message chat or skip them several time after login

[final forum]

how?

beecause sometimes if the bot is in a group that is very active

and the bot stay offline for a long time

when it turned on, it will spam all the commands

Instead of using client.on 'message_create' try on event 'message'

but this will not listen to your own messages, message_create listens to your messages.

yeah im using it

[haughty bloom]

what he said was right

compare timestamps

compare the message's timestamp to Date.now()

if the message was sent before now, ignore it

but

[haughty bloom]

I don't need that

what I need is

[final forum]

My brain is dying

[haughty bloom]

if (message.timestamp + (RANGE IN MS HERE) < Date.now()) return;

literally

so for example

if (message.timestamp + (60000) < Date.now()) return;

if the message is within the last 60 seconds, process it

and @haughty bloom

Hello does anybody knows how to get message content/body form message_reaction events?

[lapis oriole]

That's it. Simple as that.

[haughty bloom]

should include the message id or message

[final forum]

but you can;t get message from message id am i right?

[haughty bloom]

not right now, no

you can

but you have to do some clever engineering

[final forum]

Any examples?
