I've been following a video on how to code commands for beginners. I tried this code but it's not responding to the command I checked the permissions no issues there as well. I copied his code all the same and did not also work.
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client( );
client.once('ready' , () => {
console.log('bot is online');
const token = ' Token ';
});
const PREFIX = '!';
client.on('message ' , message=>{
let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");
switch(args[0]){
case 'ping':
message.reply('pong!');
break;
}
})
client.login ( token );
It should be
client.on('message', //rest of code
instead of
client.on('message ', //rest of code
The first thing I would do is to adjust the permissions in your client's declaration.
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });
then I would try changing the event listener, the last version deprecated some old events
try
client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");
switch(args[0]){
case 'ping':
message.reply('pong!');
break;
}
});
So, I checked your code right now and since you're only running a few commands and nothing crazily advanced, I'd suggest just using an if statement to check the content of the message and IF It meets the condition to return something, here's the code that I tested and It works, It's a lot simpler and easily modifiable.
I'd also suggest adjusting the Intents like Armandas Astrauskas said, and you shouldn't declare stuff inside client methods, like the ready one where you declared the token in, AND if you're using discord.js v13 you'd have to use messageCreate.
const {Client,Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client();
const token = ' Token ';
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log('bot is online');
});
const PREFIX = '!';
client.on('message', message => {
if (message.content == `${PREFIX}ping`) {
message.reply("pong!")
}
})
client.login(token);
