How to wait on Client.on("message")

[paper tide]

lets say i have this
Bot.on("message", (msg) => { if (msg.body.startsWith("!")) { doSomething(msg); } else { console.log("this is not command"); } });

and let say the doSomething is a promise;

how do i wait for do something to finish then start listening on message again (Bot.on("message") ?

why i want to achive this?
sometime user send command and the same time and Bot proceed the doSomething simultaneusly, i want it to process the first command first then after it finish, process the second command

Bot.on("message", async (msg) => {
    if (msg.body.startsWith("!")) {
      await doSomething(msg);
    } else {
      console.log("this is not command");
    }
  });```

I don't think that's what he wanted.

[wintry tendon]

From what I understand, he wants to make a waiting list so that it stores user interactions and responds 1 to 1 like a queue

This way, if 10 users send a message at the same time, it will respond to 10 people simultaneously

Even though it is an asynchronous call (with await), each call is made independently

It is you who needs to implement this logic.
What you want to do has nothing to do with the library
There is no method that creates the queue you want.

You need to create a queue of commands, you can create a list of objects, and when a new command arrives you append it to the list, and after that, you can interact with the list executing each command in order
